@@theceska8345 Give her praise for everything she does, if you can. Praise installs a self-confidence no one can otherwise apply, it has to come from within. I can be helped along though, and that's what honest happy praise does for a child who might otherwise lose faith in their abilities, or their self.

Wow . That was great . Not only great playing and singing , but also performing a 1970s classic , over 40 years ago and way before any of these were born .

Listen, this is one of the only songs I like to check other peoples covers on. Definitely one of the top five! Great job, guys. Keep it up. Good things are coming your way.

Excellent performance! This is why every school should fully fund their music program. Kids get to be a part of something bigger than themselves, and it makes memories for a lifetime.

I'm 16 and in a band called Party Hat Club. We are playing our first gigs this summer and already have built a decent following and are even traveling 5 hours to Chicago to play a music festival and I can confirm this is totally were it all starts. Playing in a band for the first time when I wasn't much older than these guys is what really began to set me up for success. Even though I play a different instrument in this band than I did those years ago, it was very formative in my abilities to collaborate with others. You guys sound great already and if you put in the work you can go great places. Never stop playing music.

Love watching kids ROCKING N ROLLING ❤ I SAVE THEM FOR MY GRANDKIDS ❤

These kids remind me of the School of Rock movie. Keep rocking in the free world, kids!

Great job with a great song! So happy to see your generation enjoying classic rock!!

Great song to highlight all that talent.

57 year old 1980's party chick here & that was effing awesome!!! 🤟😁 ❤

Any measure of talent and competence is how much like the original recording and artist can they get it to sound like? BRAVO! These kids did a great job!!!

Hey, you young cats are SOOOOOO GOOOOOOD !!! You may be going BIG places if you stay with the music. Very proud of ALL of you !!

Thank you for staying true to the original sound of these tunes.

Great! Simply great! Reminds me of my group the Mystics in 65-66 when we did all the Stones, Chuck Berry, Eric Burdon and the Animals, and topped it off with G L O R I A......I love to see these youngsters play and sing standard rock and roll instead of junk.

Those little fingers hitting those notes. Incredible.

Smashing Dragons bringing back real music… Love it 🙌!! and your guitarist is super talented 🎸

The kool thing with kids is they get better as their bodies grow. A hard reach now will be eazy pezy in a few years. Excellent guitar work.

Very well done, says a huge Dire Straits fan..

Magnifique! nous avons des jeunes qui connaissent ces chansons emblématiques et qui savent les interpréter. Le bassiste caché est leur mentor. Bravo!

These young people are incredibly talented and they've got their own spin of Dire Straights version of the song. I've always loved that song, especially if you're listening in an altered state and reminiscing about the past when it was a newly released cassette tape.

My nephew who is now grown grew up listening to the 60's and 70's music because of my brother.

Que lindoooss!! Felicitaciones! Y cuiden a estos chicos!! Gracias! Desde Argentina!

It's amazingly awesome that young kids have a chance to experience real music. Thumbs up all the way!

Born with talent folks!!! 😉 It makes me think of my brothers garage band in the 60' , early 70's. Practiced all the time and played every Teen Post in the San Gabriel Valley 🤗.

OLEEEEEEEEE Gracias 😍

it's a miracle that any kids nowadays can amuse themselves like this without having either a mobile phone or a computer screen/ video game to watch... it's the curse of their generation... critical musical areas of a decent lead guitarist and a listenable vocalist are well covered here and they all keep the rhythm going along nicely... as kid bands go this is definitely one of the better ones to watch... so well done parents and rock on generation alpha!! 🤘😊🔊🎸

I loved this song when I was a kid. My dad always played it in the car for road trips.

Nice job. I particularly like the lead guitar parts and the keyboard work.

You, dear Smashing Dragons, will be the Rolling Stones of the 22nd century. Thank you for allowing us to believe that the Rock and Roll battle is not lost.

This is SO great!!! Learning to play an instrument as a child will benefit them the rest of their lives. They sound really good and are so adorable!!♥️♥️♥️

Very nice that the younger generation appreciate "Sultans of Swing" and pick it up in 2024. It was Summer of 1978, we were on holiday in Scotland. At that moment the music scene was mainlly lead by punkrock and disco... Every time when we passed by some cafés and heard some parts of this new sound. So clean, pure, honest, refreshing and melodic. So curious by which group? Until after 2 weeks back in Holland we know for sure: Dire Straits. This song became my all time favourite. I've seen DS two times live in concert. Thank you, Mark Knopfler & co! Also thanks to MK (so humble) for his charity project "Going Home" [instrumental theme from "Local Hero", 1983], recently with 60 guitarplayers... Wonderful !!!

Glad the description explained the addition of multiple guitars and bass .as well as, as different rhythm than hearing being played at times…. Also it being exolained that even the parts we dont see are almost all these kids makes it all completely acceptably awesome 🤟🏼✌️👍🏼

Virtuoso niño de la guitarra👏👏👏 Excelente grupo🙏🙏🙏
