Well, clearly you think differently. You posted the link.
I'm sure he's a very good guitarist. He's just not good/practiced enough to do justice to Brothers in Arms.
Listen to it again. Then go listen to the original. He's mostly getting the notes in the right places, but it lacks all of the flow and expression that made Brothers in Arms such a masterpiece. In fairness, most guitarists would be setting themselves up for failure trying to mimic Knopfler. But this guy comes across as 'trying out new guitar in guitar shop' level.
Still, he's a professional soldier, not a professional musician. So perhaps I'm being too harsh. At least there's the awful singing to act as a distraction.
