- Sweet Child o' Mine, if it were written by Dire Straits.
Here's another classic that I thought I could adapt to a Dire Straits version.
I saw on instagram the other day someone that had already put the original solo in something of a Dire Straits style, so I thought I'd switch it up a little and try a different approach with a sort of Telegraph Road style build-up to a big ending.
Had a lot of fun coming up with the different parts, hope you enjoy!

Now I want whole album with Dire Straits-like songs ;)
Appetite for Dire Straits

Private Destruction. x
Great idea … watch out for copyright(c) 😅
Dire Roses
I think this is the best Dire Straits reinterpretation you've done. I think both Knopfler and Slash would approve.
Now do Telegraph Road if it were by Guns n Roses!
I 100% endorse this approach
NO!!!!!!!
@@papajohnloki "tho I'd sooner forget, I remember those ny-eee-ights!"
I'm afraid it's impossible
@@granthambeard I advocate this sentiment.
This guy deserves more recognition, not to mention his musical skills.
Rick Beato should interview him asap!
He's gotta do some algorithm tuning 🙂
Seems like this video went somewhat viral.
Yeah but the mix is gritty as...
Clearly not the intentional overdrive... more like clipped final in places 🥴
As both a dire straits and Guns N’ Roses fan THIS IS INSANELY AWESOME
better than any song on the radio in the last 15 years
First part sounded great, and wow, that solo was so Knopfleresque! I could feel some major Telegraph Road vibes.
As a big Dire Straits fan and a someone who regards GnR as so-so, this is outstanding. I could swear I was watching Knopfler himself. Fantastic video!
I like GnR a lot, but, I heard this song one too many times back in '88. Dire Straits, on the other hand, I can't get enough of. This was perfect.
Totally agree
As someone who absolutely loves both, this is killer
I'm a bigger GnR fan than Dire Straight (like their hits mostly) and I agree, this was superb. I was hoping he was gonna just keep on playing.
I've never heard GNR referred to as so so, how was year meth......so so.....lol
Dire Straits does have that sort of dreamy quality- doesn't it? Very cool interpretation.
That solo was heavenly.
Thanks!
I love the telegraph road approach. makes so much sense with how the song is originally written and only adds to the amazing feel of the song.
Brilliant, just brilliant. The space, double time feel, the buildup... he did an amazing job bringing that to context and it worked brilliantly. Bravo @laszlo 👏👏👏👌👍❤️
Well Axel Rose originally wrote this as a poem as a teenager, about a girl he was dating and after hearing his lead guitarist practice some rifts he decided to put the poem to the rifts . So it was not originally a song, but a poem. Thats what I heard . from Proffessor of Rock. There is a video on it. on utube.
As a massive fan of Dire Straits and GNR, I loved this. You really captured the essence of Dire Straits as if they played this song. The lead break was more telegraph road with a few pinches of sweet child of mine thrown in to my ears and sounded brilliant. I would love to see Mark Knofler and Slash's reactions to this.
I actually like this better than the original!
That’s perfect!
Have been die hard GNR and Dire Straits fan forever. Never thought this would work so well.
That solo was absolutely beautiful. The slow build up and then into the flow and feel of Mark Knopfler. So cool, well done!
Always have been a Dire Straits fan, and you make me realize what a distinct style Mark Knopfler adds to music.
This is a beautiful hommage to both MK and to your musical feel.
Your covers are always so incredible, but there was something... different about this solo, just absolutely channeling the spirit of Mark Knopfler.
Thank you very much!
This is the only cover of Sweet Child O' Mine that I've ever heard that I like. I was really hoping that it would've kept going and the second half went full sultan's of swing.
I agree, it also had a telegraph road feel with the sultan's it is quite brilliant.
Your solos at the second half.. I really like how you let G&R “craziness” shine thru, but still held it back and let the “Dire Straits notes” still be there. I would have been so tempted to just let go. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
I'm not even a Guns n Roses fan, but THIS is damn amazing.
Being a product of the grunge age, I thought it was uncool to like GNR and Van Halen. But then I grew up and realized a good song is good song, period.
This whole clip was great but the solo was simply brilliant! 😃
These are just simply fantastic versions of classic songs. Great guitar playing. Lovely touch, feel, and tone. ❤
Thank you!
Unbelievable! Truly. I have seen both GnR n Mark twice each in concert, and i could say you nailed this version to the T! Please keep doing this.
This is the most beautiful thing I have heard in a long while
You knocked this out of the park. Virtuoso performance!
Hey, CZcams algorithm: get this video out there!
Now this was absolutely beautiful. coming from a huge dire straits fan. the guitar playing is incredible
That solo... 😧😧
I didn't want it to end!
To be honest, neither did I!
Love the Telegraph Road vibe during the last half, with the solo and the bass/drum setting up gently, another masterpiece, congrats Laszlo!
A song like that could go in so many directions. You nailed it to the core. Great tone from the Strat.
I'm here after watching the "Hotel California if written by Stevie Ray Vaughan" masterpiece. Another unbelievable job this time.
Bloody hell!!! I'm a fan of Dire Straits and GNR. This is insane. We definitely need an encore.🤘
Absolutely wonderful! I didn't think that song or especially Slash's solo could be matched.....you did it! I like this version better and the original, and that is saying a lot. Beautiful work. Mark should be flattered. ✌️
My god man, when the last solo kicks… good as knopfler himself
A nice, fresh breath of new life into a song that has become terribly stale IMO.
Brilliant interpretation and tastefully executed. Keep 'em coming!
THIS IS AWESOME. Love the “Telegraph Road”-like introduction to the guitar solo
I was briefly disappointed when the first half faded to black, and then massively rewarded with the second half. You nailed Mark's percussive phrasing.
Thanks! Glad you stuck around for the second half 😁
Oh my god - that was sublime. This is truly one of the greatest things I've seen in a very long time here on YT. Outstanding.
One of the most talented performance ever heard. The solo reminds to Telegraph road, tunnel of love and somewhere sultans of swings... no words to say
Mark Knopfler is the Greatest proof of "good Music don't need to be complicated or abusing high notes on singing"
With every video, not only do you keep getting the guitar sound and songwriting spot-on, but you keep improving with all the little idiosyncrasies in Mark's voice. It may not be long before you morph into Mark Knopfler himself, lol. As always, great video. It's like Christmas every time you upload.
Thanks a lot 😁
I'm starting to believe that this is really Mark Knopfler.
@@TonyWesley I personally think he's kidnapped Knopfler and has been forcing him to teach all of his secrets. But don't let him know I know lol
Agree. So bloody good. Exactly a la Knopfler.
Im 60 years old and loving this. Your turning tunes i never really liked and making them great...thank you,!
Don't know how you did it, but you nailed it! That outro was also very reminiscent of "Layla"'s coda.
Outstanding. You play one of the greatest rock songs of GnR with Slash, who is an exeptional guitar player, then add a style of a band, which has also some of the greatest guitar players of all times, and make your own version. The way you combine these songs and styles in your way, which I believe is also including your own style and interpretation makes this song a masterpiece. This goes into my music list and I hope it will be always available.
I hope so too, thank you!
Telegraph Road of Mine
Slash owes a debt to Alvin Lee of Ten Years After for copping parts of the solo in I'd Love to Change the World." This, too got some of that feel.
Love it! Sweet Child O Mine meets Telegraph Road at the end, there.
I’ve probably commented on this before but that solo was phenomenal sir !!!
Great job.I love Dire Straits and GnR.Never thought about such a musical marriage.Ypu are talented!
Honestly I wrote the comment too soon.Omg that Knoppler tone and feeling.The like runs are so on his pure beauty
I could feel the Dire Straits soul transferred into this song. Very moving.
Absolutely outstanding… it sounds like DS could have actually written that. The outro Solo was epic!
This could be a hit today
That solo was perhaps the most mesmerizing video I've ever seen. Thanks! Masterful!
I would listen to an album of these all the time ❤
Very good adaption. Totally sounds like something Dire Straits would record.
Alright - now ur just showin’ off !!! Excellent !! Still waiting for my Michael Shenker “played as if” vid though - guess I better not hold my breath. lol thanks Laszlo
Absolutely beautiful. Love that strat sound
Due. This is some next level movie soundtrack version. You got serious skills.
This is brilliant! Gotta give props to the vocals too. I was wondering how you would interpret them. Well done 👏
Thanks! They felt quite natural to do, one octave lower than the original.
👍
I am really enjoying this mellowed down version now that i am in my mid fifties😊
Finger picking well done!The last solo drive me to final part of Telegraph road....Amazing moment....BRAVO!
Stayed for the solo. Was not disappointed! Well done.
I'm glad you did! It's the best part, hahah!
That solo was outstanding
The way you rearranged that piece in the Dire Straits style is simply perfect! Incredible. Great work.
Spot on! Love the Telegraph Road like arrangement.
I love this style matching. Either Mark Knopfler to others or its inverse 😊.
The way you made it sound like telegraph road is just incredible!
It's insane! Almost thought i was listening to Telegraph road at the end.. respect
Bossa nova start is also insane..
Oh my God!!!! 🤯
You are so talented! This is out of this world!
I just wish that Mark Knopfler watches this video.
This music, in this version, should exist in an album.
Congratulations!!!
Absolutely incredile Laszlo Knophler! I was listening to the intro and verses/chorus and was blown away. Then there was the pause, everything went dark and I thought the song was over. I my mind I was thinking, I wish Laszlo had have played the guitar solo...... then that slow build up with the dIRE sTRAITS piano (absolute gold)..... after that when the guitar started playing my mouth fell open and my jaw hit the ground!!! Epic! So Knophler, those bends and nuances! 🤯🤯🤯🤤🤤🤤I think that's my favourite of any of your DS arrangements that you have made. I hope Mark Knophler gets to hear this one day... Slash too! I'm sure they would smile and love your epic tribute to them and to this iconic rock song! 🎸
Thanks for the kind words! Very much appreciated 😁
At this point mate youre morphing into mark. Absolutely excellent channel man youre very talented. Closest thing we have to getting new dire straits music is this channel.
Love that you ain't pickin on that ! Just pure fingers ! Slick.
It's the Knopfler way! 😁
I have to admit, that was freaking awesome! And the solo was epic.
Great job.
I'm a huge (old) fan of DS and I find your video absolutely brilliant.
Thank you!
You've captured the essence of Dire Straits, and their songwriting style so well. 👍
Pushing an idea beyond its limits
Just beautiful 😍 absolutely fantastic 👏 💯 great stuff ❤️ 😍
The modulation and voice chage are dope
This is absolutely incredible! As a fan of both bands you absolutely nailed everything about the essence of dire straits and the actual essence of the song sweet child of mine. Bravo 👏
This is so much better than the original that they are not even in the same world.
Beautiful. This is the definitive version now.
It's got the Telegraph Road vibe.
Sweet Telegraph of Mine.
I checked how long to go at 50% and saw we were in for a treat of an outro. You did not disappoint.
it seems that i hear sweet child of mine with the sound and the style of telegraph road. That is a really good mash up. The kinf of cover that i love to listen.
Thanks a lot!
Superb. Every Knopfler move in that last solo! Keep them coming!
That might be the most relaxing thing I’ve ever heard lol. I’m not up on music theory like I should be so my terminology is prolly wrong, but borrowing some notes from the major scale was genius.
Honestly i like it a whole lot more than the original!
1000X better
This is like the Rick Beato video of EVH, Eric Johnson, and Peter Frampton doing the Stairway TobHeaven solo!
Brilliant!
It’s amazing how well this works. You just have to imagine you never heard the GnR version before this one, and you have something really special! But none is true without your own soul, creativity, and fabulous execution. Well played Lazlo! I love it❤️
Thank you very much!
Richiami dei Dire Straits nel solo e nei fraseggi, molto bravo!
This is so perfect!! Congratulations Laszlo Buring.
Outstanding. Wow. What an ending..
My first time watching one of your videos. What a talent you are! I definitely hear Mark Knopfler here. He's my all time favourite guitarist. I'll be subscribing.
Thank you very much!
I came for the parody and left astonished. That's legit. Thank you
Spot on performance. You really did justice to both the song and to the Dire Straits style.
Now that … that was absolutely outstanding. Thank you for sharing your talent.
This is astonishing! A much polished and refined version (plus without the annoying sound of Axel’s voice)… Thank you!
All I can say is WOW!!!
That fade out was Mint.. Mint I tell you.. How in the world do you only have 30K subs ? Nicely done dude..
Thank you! 😁
That solo though 🤯
Such a brilliant song … to be able to do different things with it!! And you do just that … will probably be back to listen too again !! So good !! Congrats !!!
