Sultans Of Swing

"Sultans of Swing" was composed by Mark Knopfler on a National steel guitar in open tuning. He thought the song was "dull" until he bought his first Stratocaster in 1977: "It just came alive as soon as I played it on that '61 Strat ... the new chord changes just presented themselves and fell into place." It's an honor to play this on my first ever Stratocaster. I sold the Hamer Explorer for this new/used axe.😉

His pitch is always right on. He's not just making noises, he is joining in with what's being played. He's Awesome.

Tell me I am not the only one hearing “AWWWW BIIIRRDDDD” back to back at the end of the video!?!?!?

Tico totally kills it! It's funny, there are some songs Tico seems to 'feel' more than others. he always puts on a great performance, but he really felt this one!

I know it's been said, but Tico whistles his harmonies in the proper key. He also gets the intervals, it's beyond brilliant.

I almost started to cry. His understanding of tone is so much deeper than I ever would have considered

This is one of the most precious things I have ever seen. The way he goes "PRETTY has me melting

Wonderful. The sultan with wings sings "Sultans Of Swing".

Incredible! Tico’s sense of tempo is getting better and better. And of course, he’s always on key. Quite the vocalist!

[BunkerSquirrel]

Alright I’ll say it: That bird is a genius

This is one of Tico's best. He made 'Sultans of Swing' sound like an Ennio Morricone western movie theme around 00:21 to 00:35. Love this wee fellow. 💚🦜💛

Little guy has an uncanny ear for contemporary pop chord progressions, as he sings harmony on pitch.

Not only his timing, but his intonation and sense of melody have really

I was having such a horrible day and this simple video turned it around. Thank you for spreading joy

[TheGrandmasterMan]

He has vibrato in his little voice and everything....sings his heart out! Awesome!

[lyria]

Wow! He's such a talented singer! He's hitting harmonies and rythmic fluctuations. He needs a stage, lights, a costume.

[richardestenson]

Amazing how Tico has trained "The Man" to accompany his singing... Just brilliant! 👏
