This guy knows all the chords.
He's a musical genius.
That’s because he’s guitar George - and you really should check him out
He’s got a daytime job, but he’s doing alright
@@ryandillon5097
He makes quite a scene.
Doesn’t give a damn about any trumpet playing band
Unbelievable!!!!!!!! One of the best pickers I've ever seen. Great version and not a lick missed. I'm 82 years old, but I had that one cranked up and couldn't keep my eyes off those gifted hands. Thank you, young man for that performance. If I ever get to London...........
Very Great version. However .... Please.. Paco de Lucia He Is the PICKER..
He missed every single lick in the song, this wasn’t sultans of swing, this was someone improvising over the backing track.
@@ThuderDuck It must have taken you a while to figure that out.
@@jamesfloyd1864 the length of the clip, it was impressive just not Sultans of swing.
Stunning performance. Don’t think I would be able to walk by if I heard this going on. REALLY great playing.
Yeah, I couldn't believe so many walked past looking oblivious.
No kidding! Oblivious to one of the best performances they will ever hear live. I would have been reaching for a $20 to throw in the box.
🎉🎉🎉🎉❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂@@banginghats2
@@banginghats2 , Probably the same mindless sheep that took the poison jab.
I have had the good fortune to witness Miguel live on Oxford St. Phenomenal!!
Your so lucky from me in Australia 🇦🇺
@@karenlauricella4976
Thanks for your thoughts. He is a maestro!
Imagine Miguel playing within the iconic public precincts of Australia!
How can anyone walk past this guy when he is playing. What an extraordinary talent!
peeps dont have time for talent anymore,throw away world :(
Yeah when you can record it and profit off of their performance instead!?
That is what I was thinking
if you're bus is coming you don't have time for street punks playing guitars
Sad world and you don't help....
I was just …”steppin’ out of the rain to watch the jazz go down”…and heard this amazing guy! God bless you! 🌿🌻🌿❤️❤️❤️
The most unique arrangement of this song I have ever heard. He truly made it his own.
it’s amazing, check out the one from Lucas Imbiriba, it’s absolutely amazing too
this is not an arrangement, it's random improvisation
@@tamasvarga9862 Even better!
Yes, yes, YES
what arrangement ? it is only scales up and down
The Best I've ever HEARD!!!!
THIS DUDE IS A TRUE ARTIST!
Many of us who play guitar, play that way - in our dreams! Miguel, thank you; truly inspiring.
I never played a guitar but ;ikr to hear from people who do. Thx.
I have heard a few guitar players do this song. This guy's variety of interpretations of the licks in the solo and the variations in tone and dynamics is absolutely stunning. SO many colours and emotions. Beautiful!
Someone that talented playing guitar and some people are just walking by, unbelievable.
I don't want to take anything away from the performance, but I have to recommend a guitarist who also played it. The boy is unbelievable. But this one is absolutely top class: czcams.com/video/sS1WYIu_gA4/video.html
I truly love a player that can take an icon song and make it their own. Outstanding 👍. jm2c 😊
Perfectly said 🤌
@@joec-hd6dc Agree 👍
I'm sitting on the bus, listening to this with a tear in my eye and a big stupid grin on my face at how insanely good he is.
I have enjoyed the original many times and many fine covers. I have never heard a guitarist take and bend and push and attack it anything close to this Cat. Truly EXTRAORDINARY. BRAVO.
Is it a GOD Thing ?
It's funny how people critique this so differently. People that can't play fast accurately want to say it's awful. Others want to say it's genius. When it comes to music, everybody wants to be an expert. Just my thoughts.
I’ve been a Dire Straits, Steve Vai, Joe Bonamassa, Joe Satriani fan for years, but that was absolutely up there with all of them. Incredible.
Mark Knopfler you mean, if you're naming the guys.
@@kiiingst0n well, obviously. The other three only play under their own names.
Same. Agreed
Sultans of Swing and Mark Knoplfer continue to haunt and inspire generations to come 👏👏🙂
I'm awarding you 9 out of 10 Knopflers. Knopflers are my new standard units of guitar skill. Well done. 👋👋👋👋👋👋
That's a lot of Knopflers!
Hahahahha love this new standard
@AlvaroFdezR A couplle of free knopflers for you.
I must have heard this song a million times, it is my all time favourite. Dire Straits live version off the incredible Alchemy album is the best I reckon. But this young bloke has breathed another type of fire into it and it sounds absolutely magic.
Great guitar work, I'm sure Knopfler would nod his head and approve.👍
I've got several versions, Album, Live Aid, Mandela's birthday and they're all great but Alchemy takes the cake for sure.
It really hits my cringe button when people talk on behalf of the opinion of others. This is not sultans of swing, the only thing that sounded like it was the backing track, it was just improvisation. Great playing but not Sultans of swing.
Correct u are ... as for the tone, almost closer to Eric Johnson. There's tons of videos out there that are way closer to SoS
Wow! Now that's impressive. Not the guitarist ... but listening to the song a million times. By my account, that's 22 years and a Guiness Book of Records entry, assuming 12 hours per day.
Mark Knofler is a guitar genius. This guy isn't.
Free music from a genius player and the crowd just hustles on by.
He butchered the song with his skill.
@@78matt Butchered? I checked your channel to hear you play it better. Nothing posted. Any plans to deliver your cover?
@@78matt we all know u can't play
But the one man band
By the quick lunch stand
He was playing real good, for free.
… Nobody stopped to hear him
Though he played so sweet and high
They knew he had never
Been on their t.v.
So they passed his music by (Joni Mitchell, Really Good for Free)
I had thought I had maxed out on this song. I never thought I’d ever hear anyone that would make me feel I was hearing for the first time again. An astonishing talent and I think he always keeps his thumb braced behind the neck! I reckon he has been classically trained. No matter what a brilliant performance!
I'm sure you've heard Lucas Imbiriba's version, but if not you need to.
He and guitar are one! The swift and flawless fingers movement!
Ancora dopo 50 volte non mi sono stancato di ascoltarlo...... Fenomeno Puro
I like that he put his own twist to this classic. At first I had to look past the original, because after all Sultan of Swing is my favorite song of all time; once I got past that, I was able to truly see this young man’s talent.
Well done! 👏
He’s a master of the art of both guitar playing and improvisation. That’s the most creative and competently performed one I’ve heard so far. Excellent.
@@Loupa57😢
Absolutely amazing. Grinning side to side from this performance.
I really love to watch an artist who loves his music, his instrument. His passion is so clear to be seen. What a talented soul. ❤
What a wonderful version of an iconic song. So many try to copy the original. This is anything but. Fantastic.
This guy is immensely talented. A virtuoso. He was truly brilliant. He's mastered that guitar 10-fold of anything I could ever do. Somebody make this guy a millionaire. Take my money.
A millionaire .. making some noise in the street copying someone else song .
Boa Noite! Esse feito foi na Inglaterra, parabéns para o rapaz.
A friggen master.pure melody pure joy.as good as mark knopler or bettet.very very well played.salute brother
@@NicolasValentinScotlandclearly you know zero about guitar shame for you egg hed
This video is 7-8 yrs old.
Ruthless ,fearless, magical and mesmerising with that beautiful guitar
Words fail me that was a masterclass just outstanding what a talent
This young man is brilliant! Well done!
I've been watching this performance over and over and over.......and over for a few years now. Miguel is clearly a virtuous of the first order. I am so appreciative for his talent and his dedication to his craft. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Just learning to play the drums over the last few years. I can only imagine how wonderful it must feel to be able to play at that level and express yourself through an instrument that way. I’ve been watching this kid for several years. Sad to see so many people Walking by that do not appreciate this kind of talent. We are all too busy in this world.
Just keep practicing hard and listening to all kinds of music and you’ll get there one day! I, on a similar journey with guitar. I want to be able to unlock my musical potential to be able to play anything I want to and improvise beautiful and tasteful melodies and ideas!
@@johnr8820 agreed. Cheers on your journey
Awesome! Left me wanting to hear him play Clifs of Dover.
A Tarantula couldn't run up and down that fretboard any faster. Wonderful.
That was frkn awesome!!! What a performance... Rock away bro
I’m just floored by this interpretation of a classic rock song. Keep going cause I’m completely mesmerized.
I met this guy and witness him playing on the street of oxford. Amazing talent. He had his own recorded cd and bought them there.
Wow. Mesmerizing. This guitarist is simply magical. The music breathes through his entire being. Pure beauty 🎵💎💚
Had to watch this before New Year…. It’s easily the best Guitar mightyness…Miguel…. Showing everyone who’s boss…🤟 love ye Miguel
It sounds to my barely experienced ear (next to him) that there is a classical influence in his version. It's beautiful.
Yes, definitely. He must have learned classical guitar at some point.
he is a beast, but still waiting for sultans of swing
Hearing this on the street would make my day
But wouldnt be in time to work
Miguel, thanks. I just love that interpretation of yours.. You’re so gifted, keep it up
Wonderful reminds me of a young SRV such control and emotion in his playing. Bravo❤
Brilliant, its great to young people playing talent like that, hope he's in a band, he needs to be more than just a busker, he's to good.
Check out Andy Salvanos, plays the Chapman stick with finesse: proud to call himself a busker. Full time for many years before 2020
I don't see any guitarist in the video. I see a magician ❤
Una extraordinaria versión que con los toques flamencos lleva a los "sultanes" a otra dimensión. Enhorabuena.
Définitively The Best Version i've heard Of this Wonderfull Song !! Thank you Miguel ... Your arrangements and technics are "Out Of This World"
Yes it is ❤❤
No way.
The spirit of Django/Grapelli lives on. No disrespect intended. Phenomenal playing, MM!
People coming into comments to bash the guy...meanwhile, guarantee most the haters can't even manage to play a vanilla Smoke on the Water 😂. He makes this guitar sing in his own way and isn't looking to just play a cover. Wonderfully executed.
Extraordinary! An original and fantastic version. Congratulations from Barcelona
Utterly fantastic! Raw talent!
One word AMAZING 🤩🤩
I've seen this performance 4 or more years ago and still love it.
A lovely adaptation. Beautifully rendered.
Imagine being Mark Knopfler and hearing this talented young guy play his interpretation of something you created a long time ago when you were once young.
absolutely pure sound!!!🎸
Excellent!!!! bravo.....
Awesome talent......wish you all the best in life.
Thank you sweetheart, that was absolutely beautiful, took me right back to my youth & so many happy days 💖⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Brings tears to my eyes - so beautiful

Excellent interpretation of Sultans of Swing!!!
This guy is completely amazing!!!!! What a talent. A version of 'brothers in arms' by mark knopfler would be fantastic by this dude!!!?? Keep it up
Damn this guy nailed it, knows the whole fretboard an every chord possible and fast hands too, great picking 👌😁
Sultan’s of Swing, awesome!!!
Brilliant 👏😊no more words needed 👏🙌👌
Man your work is so flawless. Absolutely awesome!
absolutely stunning... Mark Knopfer would be proud of it and would definitely stop to check out what's possible with his composition...
Wow absolutely phenomenal
Gives me goosebumps listening and watching him burned through his guitar . He's on a different level compared to so many of the baskers i've watched and listened to .
Super I have noo words to describe it super compadre!!!!!🎉
Rich and deep. The feel. The awareness.
Bravo, Miguel! This is a sensational interpretation, played by a virtuoso with fingers made of lightning. I think Mark Knopfler would agree.
This guy shows the essencial of the tune itself not trying to emulate the original 'cause no one can be Mark Knopfler of course. 👏👏👏
Excellent, Miguel! Absolutely fantastic to heart and to see you play and perform this piece of music so effortlessly!!! Loved it!!!! Well Done!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I Appreciate Your Playing Very Much! And May God Continue To Bless You Even More So! Great Work!!!!
Guitar George in the background holding himself back from Dad dancing to a classic. Amazing cover yet Knopfler hard to replicate. Thanks!
The best cover i've ever eared!! This guy will become a legend!!!
This guy needs to be on a mega stage……amazing
The guys who leave "Don't go boys. Sultans only ever gets BETTER!" 😂
All I can think of is. How. Clean it sounds. AWSOME. !!!
I can tell you how much i enjoyed hearing your interpretation. So good !!!
Excellent play. Very talented guy. Keep it up
Una maravillosa interpretación libre del tema, gran talento. Bravo.
A truly epic version loved every minute, such a fantastic version . Why is everyone in such a hurry they missed a epic .
Beautiful he made it his own👍👍👍
Just awesome rendition of Sultans of Swing
Sultry. Slick. Suave. A great rendition by a very talented artist who happens to play guitar!
Amazing and brilliant, you brought a tear to my eye as i got lost in the music.... thank you
Never tire of watching him, he’s amazing.
🎉F’ing Amazing🎉
Amazing sir you're the best guitar man.❤❤
what an incredible talent, humanity Rejoice!
We come here knowing its not going to be the same but a fresh outlook using the tune with complete expressing its great i really Love this and other artists covers plus new creations keep it up Life is Bright
Love every note you play ❤
He definitely has talent and will be spotted by those looking for a lead guitarist.
Heavy Jason Becker influence in his sound, arpeggios, and bends. Good stuff
Absolutely love his own spin on this classic - Bravo!! :)
So many just rush by hurry up to no where of particular importance and miss this incredible young man’s talent . Sad that most peoples lives are so vapid that they don’t stop to listen .
Cela me choque toujours aussi
This guy would stop me in my tracks.
I had a dentist appointment, gimme a break.
@robertkreamer7522: Most people have a job of their own with a short lunch break and a family to feed. If you stopped to listen to every average street performer in Soho you wouldn’t likely have a job for long.
@@rayray8687 average lol
AWESOME!!!
"He knows all the cords" .......absolute genius .
I became a fan as soon as i heard you playing🤘 No words to describe your playing! Out of the world❤
Magnifico.💪💪💪💪💪💪
