This is my rendition of the famous Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits. It was an amazing experience to transcribe the whole band and perform this legendary song in a solo guitar. I hope you enjoy it!

Cheers!

I have seen and heard Tommy Emmanuel and he is truly amazing. Joe Bonamassa is incredible. Trace Bundy can bring tears to my eyes and Luca Stricagnoli leaves me aghast. Over my lifetime I've listened to Chuck Berry, BB King, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour and so so many others. I am 71 years old and can say without doubt or reservation whoever invented the guitar did so with the hope that Lucas Imbiriba would one day find it. He did, and I will be forever grateful he did it in my lifetime. Thank You Lucas!

How. Just how?
How is it possible to play like this?
How is he not more famous?
How does this ONLY have 1.3 mil views?
I’m literally in shock. Been playing 15 years, and listening to the greats, never heard or seen a person make a guitar sound like this before. Im actually in shock. And in awe. This is unreal

I'm 65 and have watched many many videos of the greatist guitarists in the world. This is the first time I have ever sat here all by myself and was clapping at the end. Unreal! Big props to you buddy!!! What energy!

The most expertly played piece of music I have ever heard.
I am a 57 years old life-long music aficionado.
Almost beyond belief.
Am without further words

Absolutely the most epic acoustic rendition of this song I've ever heard and witnessed. Amazing!

[frmrchristian]

He never disappoints!
1. Bass line.
2. Rhythm guitar.
3. Vocals.
4. And a good bit of percussion.
5. Oh yeah, and lead guitar, too.
~All from his two hands~

This is absolutely ludicrous, I sat with my jaw on the floor for the full 7 minutes, I've played guitar/bass for over 15 years and this is some of the greatest guitar playing I've ever witnessed. It's not just the technical excellence, or the insane finger picking and hammer-ons/pull-offs, but the passion in which he plays and the unique approach he takes to artistic representation of the song. Bravo Lucas, a phenomenal cover.

I've spent the last few months slowly trying to learn just the lead guitar part to this song. This man is playing the lead guitar, bass and vocal parts all at once, all on guitar.

[grantmarshall]

This version incorporates an extra layer that practically speaks the lyrics loud and clear. Absolute perfection.

[beetusmaximus]

I've been playing guitar for 27 years, listening to music with a hungry mind for near 40, this is one of the best things I've ever seen and heard on the guitar. You have an unbridled passion for the instrument and a sense and instinct for what sounds great musically and not just showing how good you are. An absolute delight to listen to!

[ariven]

If you practiced 25 hours a day, eight days a week, five weeks per month for 100 years … still wouldn’t be able to play at this Godly level!! My respects sir Lucas

Made me cry. My dad loved Mark Knopfler's music. Was missing him something fierce this morning and looking for a lil connection? I guess. These arent bad tears. Bittersweet but not bad. The music is beautiful. Thank you.

[lamontiego]

I have been playing for over 28 years. This was the best performance I have ever seen. I am amazed at your dexterity and stamina. I bet it hurts to play it that well. My hand burns just watching.

[jonathanjensen]

Been playing since 1993, and then I watch this and realize I haven't even scratched the surface of what guitar playing can be. This rendition is so dexterous and energetic. Mind blown.

[LocalManMakesMusic]

This is some of the cleanest, most expressive playing I’ve ever seen. Unreal!

[Jeff-kzkl]

I've been listening to original live versions of this song as well as tons of covers and this one just blows me away!!! Genius!!!

[Fav.]

I am a 60 year old musician and I appreciate how hard you’ve worked to get where you are! Absolutely amazing!

[andrewzach]

Just came over from the Mark Lewis video who showed a clip from this video as a pinnacle of guitar playing and after watching this video i can agree. Just masterful control of your instrument. Truly impressive.

[gryfandjane]

I never thought I’d hear a cover of “Sultans” that was as cool as the original, but words fail me. This is incredible! Lucas, thank you so much.

[jayleeper]

The only other person I have seen put this much energy into a song is Roy Clark. They both are beyond human in their skills. Well done!!!
