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.
Sultans of Swing and Mark Knoplfer continue to haunt and inspire generations to come 👏👏🙂
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.

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.
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! 👏

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.👍

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.

Mark Knofler is a guitar genius. This guy isn't.
He and guitar are one! The swift and flawless fingers movement!
To the guy who said he loses the song, you are one dimensional this young man has world class ability he stays in cord the whole time. He can play his guitars from anywhere on this planet and be a guitar god. I have never seen or heard anyone play to the level at his age ever. Thank you bro for sharing your unbelievable talent.
This man is far more talented than most, quite unique! 💐
I’m just floored by this interpretation of a classic rock song. Keep going cause I’m completely mesmerized.
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. ❤
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 🎵💎💚
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.

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.

Miguel, thanks. I just love that interpretation of yours.. You’re so gifted, keep it up
Ruthless ,fearless, magical and mesmerising with that beautiful guitar
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!
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 .
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
He definitely has talent and will be spotted by those looking for a lead guitarist.
That was frkn awesome!!! What a performance... Rock away bro
Had to watch this before New Year…. It’s easily the best Guitar mightyness…Miguel…. Showing everyone who’s boss…🤟 love ye Miguel

Music is his life, It was not his livelihood .., Awesome dude!
I've seen this performance 4 or more years ago and still love it.
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!!!!

Brilliant 👏😊no more words needed 👏🙌👌
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.

WOW,This fella will get better and better ,not easy playing outside in a busy London ,really good 😊
At first when i see the title of this favarite song, i thot this is just another normal cover, until i get in to watch and could not believe how this is played to another new level that nobody could even come close to his talent!
I don't see any guitarist in the video. I see a magician ❤
Just awesome rendition of Sultans of Swing
I can tell you how much i enjoyed hearing your interpretation. So good !!!
he is a beast, but still waiting for sultans of swing
Super I have noo words to describe it super compadre!!!!!🎉
Very good player, the reality is and I can tell you this as a luthier, there are lots of these guys...phenomenally good and can't even get session jobs because there are too many and so much talent out there, they end up on the street, keeping Sultans alive with a twist of rock! 🤘
