Acoustic master Mike Dawes shares the secrets of his incredible-sounding (and complex) pedalboard

[@Stephen_Lafferty]

3:24 - "Please remember to keep it in the fingers!" - something for every guitar student out there!

[@didifischervideo]

I never liked the Bose Stuff - but you, dear Mr. Dawes, you have the most wonderfull accoustic sound, besides your playing of course : ))

[@hilla42]

RC-500 😅...thank you for the detailed description of the board. Cheers, Lars

[@WSBM]

Mr. Dawes is a highly accomplished explainer. This was fascinating.

[@psych-ryry]

Freaking beautiful and genius!

[@nathancourtney2006]

Thanks for sharing 😊

[@40busk]

Thank you for this excellent walkthrough

[@mikeellis4345]

I understood almost none of that … but the guitar sounds absolutely fantastic! Well thought out and applied brilliantly.

[@YMESYDT]

What a beautiful human being, not just a wonderful guitar player

[@eclecticexplorer7828]

I am focused on getting my actual guitar playing up to snuff before I start getting into all that electronics, but it is still interesting to hear all this. And what an opportunity to open for the Moody Blues just because they were delayed in transit!

[@watfordkev]

Really interesting and genuinely inspiring. Thank you Mike!

[@daithi48]

Wow! A superstar using a Joyo American Sound!! 😊 This justifies me not having to spend any more on new gadgets 😊👍

[@ChapmanMusic]

Really enjoyable Sunday morning watching this. Learnt so much. Thank you.

[@TomBedlammusic]

God mike (aside from obviously being a truly incredible guitarist) is just so good at presenting / explaining things. Imagine having him as a guitar teacher! awesome guy

[@MrHeliosoul]

Masterclass! Thank you for sharing!

[@Acousticeg]

Thanks for sharing...🎸

[@ivankachkovski]

Amazing! Thank you for this!

[@saalibjonesfer9079]

He is simply incredible!

[@KRayxKodessA]

Criminally underrated guitarist.

[@timgainnes5534]

that intro, wow.

[@theondebray]

Fascinating, even tho most of it was way over my humble head! Plus gorgeous playing.

[@marting.official]

That Joyo Pedal. I have one of that in my set up and it really makes my distortion sound even fuller and it's also 30€.

[@DeathScythe_XXG]

That delay pedal is on my Christmas list

[@ollieguitarman89]

That was enjoyable 😎

[@GuitarJawn]

14:31 everyone needs a hype man :)

[@Wags-PNW]

How do you get the separate outputs from the guitar?

[@DjNikGnashers]

That avalon is a fantastic starting point for a good final sound though.

[@glenndavid8725]

Nearly as good as my guitar teacher! ❤

[@broda769]

This dudes hands are huge! His middle finger spans 1.5 times the width of the fretboard it looks like.

[@yh-bs7ju]

I thought that Mike had already done away with this pedealboard to switch to Neural DSP Quad Cortex two years ago. Does he still use the both of them?

[@AndyBarbosa96]

Genius

[@larrycastro5113]

What PICKUP are you USING, FRIEND

[@torsuntsu]

I wish my guitar playing gets 1% as good as this 😅

[@jazzlefty]

muy bueno.

[@argvideos]

Intro song sounds a lot like Local Hero by Mark Knopfler!

[@maxturgeon89]

Ok, now I know how to get incredible-sounding tone, but how do I get incredibly long fingers like Mike Dawes? 🤔

[@Nord1980]

What's the name of the outro song ?

[@hilla42]

Somewhere home.

[@markvincent883]

what amplifier is he using?

[@lucmichel7588]

👍👌

[@MartinBergnerGuitar]

"Why do you play acoustic?" ... "Well... I didn't want to think about all this techy stuff..." 💀

[@gineekhatter4771]

Looks like Jesus mastered Finger style .

[@lifelongfan07]

Shi Big Shi moor.

[@luisfernandorojasvelasco4731]

Cool:::pedalboard check, the rest is just finger development.....

[@orion-quest]

first

[@pnelson00]

Honestly I have a hard time hearing your tone over that much reverb

[@goatedsapien]

He looks likes he smells bad but his tone is good

[@leftpastsaturn67]

Wow, that was childish.

[@josearjona3728]

A KZbin coment hater smells waaaay worse

[@hilla42]

Smells like teen spirit! 😂

[@mikedawesofficial]

I actually smell great. Your mum bought me some new cologne.

[@goatedsapien]

@@mikedawesofficial Mike I like you even more after this comment 😂

[@WithoutTroy]

18 seconds in and I'm out. Way too much reverb.

[@EJK1965]

This is AI, don't be fooled.....

[@guitarist]

Wow, that’s amazing - it’s so realistic that we all thought we were there filming it and then editing it! Extraordinary

[@kirtisozgur]

Thanks for sharing your setup dear Mike. But I wonder what are your mics used inside and also their location. And I'm also wondering that, can we create the same (or alike) setup via a strong pc? I have a 4080 RTX system and I bought that to monitor myself in realtime while playing with the effects I want. I think that's actually possible, but I'm not sure. Is there anyone have an idea about it? I don't except the same sound quality, analog, digital, different worlds, i don't know, they all have pros and cons, but in theory it should be made somehow i guess?
