Telegraph Road not only their best song ever but makes me cry from just how damn emotionally good it is (this and brothers in arms make me cry every time)
Agreed. And I just published a new cover of Brothers In Arms, if you want to give it a listen: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gYz-8-gNVt8.html
The production is just of such a high quality that you forget that this is a self-taught guitarist in his home studio. You absolutely nailed Knopfler's style man!!
I know Knopflers guitar is great in this but the piano is beautiful in this. Alan Clarke did a great job. I want to learn the piano and the guitar in this !
@@iangarner8857 I agree. The whole thing is a work of art. Have a look at the piano covers for this song on RU-vid and the like, they are bloody good. Also, while your there, take a look at the piano cover of Dire Straits song "news". Its another beautiful song and one which I'm sure you will enjoy.
Just wow... First mastering "So Far Away" & now this eargasm? Tone, pitch, timbre & styles are PERFECT. I'm severely impressed & now a subscriber. Thank you for your gifts.
Your doing it more than justice my friend. I've listened to this song many times and like you, it is my favorite song from Knopfler and Dire Straits more generally. I'm not just saying this, a part of me actually enjoys this more than the original. You tap into something more visceral and intense here. Honestly, I don't know what to say. Mark Knopfler's work has been a huge part of my life thus far. It's work like yours and his that gets people through the struggles of life. Beautiful, masterful talent that shines light into our lives. The emotions that are encapsulated in these songs are just timeless. Your efforts hold a candle to Mark's songs. Incredible work as always.
Thank you! You are way too kind :) Mark Knopfler's music has had such a massive impact in my life... it's one of those rare things that is guaranteed to make me feel better if I'm having a tough time.
Wow, this was wonderful, thank you! Had my foot tapping along just as much as the original. Incredible groove. I can see lots of editing and work went into making this, so thank you 🙏 (much respect for that gorgeous Pensa too!)
You are really good, i am just 21 but i love dire strzits, and you are an incredible guitarist, congratulation, its a good hommage, you can be proud, i send this by an young french fan
I did post a comment in this video months ago, I cannot found it, well I remember I said this is and going to be the best cover of this song ever. Good job and thank you
David! You absolutely nailed one of my all time favorite DS songs. I have enjoyed every single second of your 14 minutes video. Fantastic production, playing and vocals and stunning guitars. Congratulations!
Everything about this is brilliant, from the effects, your playing style, your voice... Absolutely nailed it! 👏🏼 best cover I've found, awesome tribute to dire straits! 💙 Thank you!
Insanely good. Telegraph Road is also my favorite Dire Straits song, since I was 7. You've nailed it, sir! Thank you for this cover! Absolutely great work!
Honestly, I couldn't have expected it to be THIS AWESOME! After all, it's the Telegraph Road, from the majestic dIRE sTRAITS. Loved every bit of this! Utter respect!! _/\_
Always like different periods of time in this song. It’s like life, like brook which goes in to wild river and back again. Masterpiece song really and great verse of it. So glad to find you, Sir
Awesome 👏 !!!... perfect cover you are amazing guitar player and your suhr is so beautiful and the sound is great. Un grand bravo et merci encore pour ce magnifique cover. Laurent from France
Wow wow wow! You bring back so many memories with your cover! Mark Knopfler was for me the reason to start playing guitar, and this song was also my favourite ever since I heard it first. Any my god, I forgot how much I wanted that exact same guitar when I was younger, a beauty!
Bravo david. Comme déjà souligné dans les commentaires, enfin un guitariste français qui touche sa bille ! Knopfler a un touché de luthier avec l'annulaire et l'auriculaire posés sur la tablette, ce sont des années d'entraînement et peu de guitaristes savent le faire. Respect. En attente d'autres vidéos, un tunnel of love de préférence 😉👍
Merci, je me suis lancé dans l'apprentissage de ce monument de la musique et ta vidéo va bien m'aider. Et bravo à toi, c'est magnifiquement exécuté. À mon avis, Telegraph Road est le plus beau morceau... point. Et Mark est le virtuose de la guitare 🎸 dont la sensibilité nourrira mon âme ma vie entière. Cela m'intéresserait de connaître tes réglages, même si je sais que le son vient bcp de la Pensa et du jeu en lui même. Merci à nouveau. Et je te souhaite le meilleur.
Merci! Je suis ravi que ma video puisse t'etre utile. Pour les reglages mon PC est mort recemment et je n'ai pas encore tout reinstalle, donc je ne peux pas te dire precisement. Mais il n'y avait rien d'extravagant. Reverb en particulier. Perso je suis d'avis que tu peux obtenir le bon son avec presque n'importe quelle guitare, donc honnetement je ne suis meme pas sur que ma Suhr y soit vraiment pour beaucoup (par contre en termes de jouabilite la c'est clair qu'une bonne guitare fait la difference)
Mk guitar settings he would also either have the tone rolled all the way off or fully on. According to his guitar tech at the time. Bridge=1 Middle=3 Neck=5 Boost=EMG SPC push/pull tone pot 1988 Mandela Gig Sultans of Swing position 4 boost off Money for noth position 2 boost on Brothers in Arms position 2 boost on 1991/92 on Every Street Tour Telegraph Road position 4 boost on Brothers in arms position 2 boost on Sultans of Swing position 4 boost off Money For Noth position 1 boost on( see note) Calling Elvis position 2 boost on Heavy Fuel position 2 boost on. NOTE: Money For Nothing 91 not 100% with boost being on. Difficult to get a good enough view on this track like the others but definitely using position 1 Bridge NOT position 2. Sounds far more distorted than position 2 on the Mandela Gig. So possibly boost is on which isn't normal to us on the EMG 85s. The SPC is normally just for the single SA coils to give them the humbucker sound.
