Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits (Josh Turner Cover)

Dire Straits classic, sung and played by Josh Turner. I do not seek to be totally accurate in the licks or solos, just to get the general idea across.
Guitar is a Mexican Telecaster, played through a fender Acoustasonic Junior amp.

He looks like that one friend who never talks about guitars/music, then you go over to his place one day and he starts playing this

Carlos Santana says, "If you don't make a guitar face when playing, then you're not playing with soul." Well done.

You don't just play that song, you understand it

[smmmokin]

I feel like I'm watching a legend who is not yet a legend. This is something.

[TylerDurden]

I was gonna learn this but I only have 30 years left to live

Good performance is an understatement. The guitar was super tight and clean, but the singing just makes it such a funky package. Lots of of love from the Netherlands almost 10 years later!

This never gets old. Five years on and I still come back regularly to listen a few times in a row. This dude got more soul than an orthopedic shoe

[danbull]

This is a good performance, and also you look like the guy who drives a Lamborghini and is really proud of his book collection

[solarapacifica]

Check out guitar josh, he knows all the chords

[Adreamkusters]

Ive come back to this video every once in a while since it came out, this has to be one of the best covers on YouTube

[gaia]

this was the first video i've ever watched with you playing, Josh... and I was struck. Heart pounding, eyes glued to your hands... and now, a few years later, I'm here again to feel that thrill. This masterpiece of yours never gets old.

My man looking at his microphone like it was just about to run away 0:29

Until this video, I had no appreciation of HOW difficult to play this song is. Absolutely amazing. Anyone who has ever tried to play guitar will understand what an amazing job you did. And for those that don't play it, just look at the hands, this must be one of the most difficult pieces to play. I'm in awe.

[swiix]

Blown away… this man is timing personified and just rare natural talent

[Francois]

People are joking about his faces but honestly that's the most beautiful part, when the musician feels the music so much his facial muscles dance along

[thetruth]

That string tree bend at 0:45 tells you this guy means business. Perfection.

[eqzgete]

I’m 87 years old I’m so glad I have found Josh he makes my day

[audecalloch]

This guy’s facial expressions are GOLD.

[khaldrogo]
