This is my cover arrangement of Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits :)

Tuning: D A D F A D (from low to high)

My dear girl, I am 60 years old and I want to thank you for this listening that really moved me. You went me back in time. In my youth. Thank you again. God bless you.

Talent is when a musician takes a popular song but instead of copying the style of the original puts her own spin on it and it’s a whole new experience. Well done!

[bobm]

I've listened to all of Gabriella's work--multiple times--but this one absolutely blows the lid off what an acoustic should sound like. Knopfler would cheer this one

[susakami]

A very bold thing to claim to post as an acoustic cover. Beautifully done.

As a musician who has been playing this song in cover bands for the past 20+ years, this is the best solo guitar cover I've ever heard of it. Wonderful arrangement. Bravo!!

[rotory]

Every once in a while you'll be scrolling through YouTube and come across a wonderful talent like Gabriella and you realize that life just got better :) Thank you for that young lady <3

When singing is not present a lot of listeners do not understand how complex it is to incorporate all the aspects of composition never mind that you are doing the licks, the bass part, harmony and melody all by yourself . OUTSTANDING!

[stefanlouw]

this is hours days weeks and months of constant relentless practice. Respect

[ogawasan]

The fact that she waited so long to do such a famous song shows how much she cares about the quality of what she puts out for us ! amazing work as always !

[johngilbert]

I've been playing guitar for 60 years and can still only wish I could play like this. There is literally no one else on the entire planet I would rather sit and listen to; to these unique arrangements for hours, and watch Gabriella's amazing technique, incredibly relaxed and flawless execution, and then the icing on the cake, that beautiful, modest smile that projects the sentiment "I hope you enjoyed listening to this as much as I enjoy playing it for you"! This talent is a true gift.

At 71, there aren't many things in life that I treasure anymore, but this little lady makes me love it that I have clear sight and sound! Those little smiles and eye twinkles make my heart sing!!!

[Windwalker]

I have no words, that would do it justice. Maybe magical, or heavenly "might" come close. This is my favorite. I'm 72, and have never heard anyone play, as beautiful as you. I love the smile and twinkle. Makes the heart sing along with the music. Bless you, for sharing such wonders.

For us oldies who remember this hitting the music scene this is extra special. Brilliant - no other words required. Gabriella -we have a new nickname for you “Sultana”.

[c.e.p.]

I've never heard this song played acoustically the way it was played by Gabriella. Phenomenal!
The mic sound and the way you hit the chords and leads and make it sound so peaceful YET... it's such a great groove of a song it's amazing.
Gabriella came up on a suggested video feed being that I am learning how to play different songs as a novice guitar player and a drummer, but my strength is in singing. I was floored at Gabriella playing this song!

Sad day today after Eddie Van Halen's passing yesterday October 6th. I must say listening to this whole song took me out of a somber mood. Eddie's influences on us all shine on. Great work Gabriella!!! I wish you could play this for Mark Knopfler. I believe he would be flattered.

[bredlay]

Easily some of the best guitar playing I’ve ever heard. Such a unique style

[bobsteel]

I don't know which is the most beautiful The Taylor guitar, The AWESOME way Gabriella plays the song or Gabrialla herself. I think it's all three. This is the most interesting cover of this song I ever heard ☮☮☮

[gaipou]

“Tuning: D A D F A D (low to high)” Thank you dear! The reverb sound is a breathtaking one!

[jean-pierreschaller]

I play and sing this song regularly in public, but now, frankly, I'm listening with my mouth wide open. You put so much feeling, poetry and lyricism into it that it almost makes me cry. It's just beautiful the way you play this song, it's Knopfler full of romanticism, Gabriella way. This title comes back to life and it is the most original version that I have heard on Utube to date. You are a little gem of talent and again well done.

[paulholyfield]

I can't believe she can play so clean; incorporating the rhythm, the melody, and the lead guitar - and then adding to that her own unique style/improvised touches. Very impressed.

[MrJeremiah]

The fact this awesome performance has been on YouTube 3years, has over 10M Views and STILL gets comments to this very moment - says it all! RESPECT.
