But it’s all a simulation tho

[@mikedawesofficial]

Hey, I've been playing for about 10 years, including plenty of setbacks (injuries) Re practice, not that often, only when I have time and I'm enthusiastic about learning something new. I don't sit down and noodle very often, quality of practice over quantity really :)

[@danielbarbu1513]

Mike, I couldn't find any info about how you managed to recover from your tendinitis, and then stay healthy. A post about that would be very welcome. Many of us are injured and stories like yours help us keep going in optimism. Thank you for everything!

[@jscotthales]

Well, you're obviously massively talented. I am grateful that you share your artistry with us!

[@mikedawesofficial]

[@DS-bz7de]

Man.. Someday when my caliber is on par, I want to learn this! I feel even Stevie Ray would tip his hat to you on this one tho, like "yeah.. I cant do that.." (Who knows tho, could be some blasphemous assumption on my part, in Stevie's defense) Cheers from Colorado! :)

[@georgegribkov8343]

Bro, i recognize Michael Hedges' Jitterboogie inside your song)))) It seems like you took this song as a base for yours ;)

[@mikedawesofficial]

Hey everyone, the new video for 'Overload' is now on my KZbin channel. Enjoy!

[@georgel2273]

mikedawesofficial hey you are great

[@rafisyailendraputra4788]

damn.... been watching this since 6th grade, and now I'm 24.. still giving me the same goosebumps and excitement like the first time I've stumbled upon this magnificent piece. thank you Mike!

[@rafisyailendraputra4788]

first tuned my guitar to DADGAD because of you, and the lick at 0:54 is still my favorite one to play on fingerstyle music. You've inspired me so much man, thank you!

[@doc_vader2776]

@@rafisyailendraputra4788 same. I was in school when i listened to this. Now finishing medschool. Still can't play this in guitar tho. 😂

[@Ledsled24]

I'm 51 and I still get the same reaction after all these years. Glad the younger generations are still appreciating talent like this. May we continue to enjoy for years to come.

[@barnes80]

Some people are very very gifted. This guy definitely is. I could practice this for the rest of my life and never be able to do that. Beautiful guitar playing.

[@mikedawesofficial]

PLEASE UPVOTE

[@russbeard3665]

All elements come out in the mix well, from the lightest touch to the sharp attack of percussive pops. What a responsive setup, nice playing Mike!

[@abdullahosa]

There is a legend that says if you touch his guitar your whole family will be blessed with musical talent.......

[@noneblod9979]

The purest demonstration of mastery. The human race is proud.

[@dopeydawg8954]

Had the pleasure of seeing Mr Dawes live in Cardiff on Sept 11th, unbelievable. Best I've seen in almost 50 years. Outstanding. And he signed my CD, what a real gent :)

[@michaelbannerman-roberts1518]

WOW!!!! Mesmerised and speechless. Respect to a Master.🙏💜

[@Mark-hn5hu]

Listening to this again and again after 5 years and my jaw still ends up on the floor.

[@LongLiveThe70s]

A-f***-mazing!!! Had never heard about this guy. What a virtuoso and huge class...

[@stix471]

man, I absolutely love your playing and the way you move around the fretboard.. you make it seem so effortless, beautiful.

[@irfanzamanchoudhury]

I wish in life i could play like my guitar Hero ..Such a kind and humble being the guitar Gem Mr Mike Dawes 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵 We love you

[@Nicap2]

I just came from watching Justin Sandercoe, with Mike as a guest. I have to say that I had never seen or heard him before. I was absolutely blown away - which is difficult these days, as I am 58 years old and thought I had heard it all...

[@s.wilson5199]

Makes my soul happy to see and hear this!

[@JetsonWells]

Spectacular, I’ve been playing 25 years and you make me feel like I need a new guitar and about 10hours p’ day extra practice. Shine On.

[@MattG0]

I just want to say i am inspired by your guitar playing. How you work your strings amazes me. Thanks for sharing your talent

[@thresher17213]

That was a real pleasure to watch!

[@mikedawesofficial]

@kapooktu Hey thanks for the comment. I took out the ES system and replaced it with an LR Baggs Dual Source. It's a great system, really resistant to feedback. This sound is a combination of the two condensers in shot and the dual source. Mike

[@intranube]

you are AWESOME, please continue working in your music and let the world hear you!

[@seantice]

always loved this piece, been a fan ever since

[@jase3538]

Thanks for sharing your talent! Love it, that was one of the most inspiring videos I have seen. Cheers!

[@UncleTravelingMatty]

Just love what you do Mike, ty keep it up for ever!

[@MichaelYork777]

Great phrasing, Great percussive fills, Great volume control, perfect blend of techniques for an electric acoustic The new and improved Steve Howe! Love your work!

[@kajalaurencja1690]

O my world! What you do with the quitar is just amazing. Very well done!

[@redjosh5979]

Best guitarist I've come across yet.

[@michalmaixner3318]

+red Josh try pierre bensusan if you dont know him:)

[@lord461]

+Michal Maixner I'd rather try Pierre Bensusan and Michael Hedges

[@TheMetalheadextreme]

music is not a competition different people connect to different artists. All we can do is just appreciate these hardworking musicians that sound damn good

[@lord461]

No idea why you're telling us lol

[@RedroomStudios]

impressive technique and also very listenable at the same time! I definitely have to press replay... that was great!

[@00SonicArchitect00]

Mind blowing stuff Sir - I have seen many many videos of fingerstlye playing but this has to be right up there with the best I've seen so far!

[@YardpigTSI]

I've seen Mike several times live at IGN. I am completely confident that he is capable of anything. I wish he'd show off more. A1 A+++

[@najtrows]

Beautiful!

[@alvaritoelflaco]

Bravo... Awesome Mike, thanks for sharing your music

[@johnwheeler7361]

What!!!!!! That was amazing!

[@incubushoobastank7356]

WHO ARE those "dis-likers"..??? maybe their music is something out of this world...

[@ed9374]

Boy bands probably.

[@Alellic]

It's so simple yet so complex! You have truly mastered your instrument!

[@aida-mihaeladumitrache1679]

You are BRILLIANT !!!! I can listen to this all freaking day !!! Awesome!!

[@Alicejustmetidy]

saw him perform this last night and was blown away-so talented aahh!

[@CameronCatonSinginit]

What is there not to like? Even if one was deaf just the movement of his fingers would tell you this guitar playing is brilliant.

[@Ozgipsy]

How cool is that...(5 years later…) still living this Mike.

[@litening73]

Thoroughly enjoyed this piece. Thank you. You are an amazing guitar virtuoso.

[@francescoballetta7945]

with mike dawes for sure the music world is more complete. an incredible gifted talented young musician

[@leon23leon]

It’s funny to see how far Mike has come in terms of showmanship and timing. It’s also funny to imagine that this performance could be improved on but his recent renditions of this song are *chef’s kiss*

[@Celt-gc6hn]

Fantastic !

[@sydmaycoach]

A day of being lost in acoustic guitar music and I always end up back here! This takes some beating

[@nsengipaci]

Awesome, great training for my ear as well!

[@pashton45]

last guitarist to impress me was eric johnson 25 years ago !! this guy has reinspired me !! way way cool !! thank god he's in the world !!!!!

[@mikedawesofficial]

@rodron666 Hello thanks for the comment It is just a piece of spruce wood. It's nothing special, but when it is attacked by the fingernails the softer surface gets worn down to reveal the hard grain. This creates a surface similar to that of a guiro. Throughout this track you can see me running my nails over it to create that effect. It is simply a piece of wood glued to the body. Hope this helps!

[@philipgray3570]

brilliant love it bro

[@TheSkogg]

Fantastic ! Great tune, groove and playing dude !

[@TerryMasri]

Beautifully articulated! I concur.

[@peterherring759]

Insanely brilliant.

[@cagedtigeruk]

An outstanding player brimming with technique and creativity in equal measure. Puts me in mind of another English acoustic legend, the mighty Gordon Giltrap! Hope to see Mike getting the recognition and acclaim his talent so richly deserves in the not too distant future.

[@osbourneburnett184]

Brilliant playing !

[@Plipas]

man you are amazing ! Keep going !

[@LukasBergqvist]

You just gave me 3min of goosebump

[@bassitallica]

[@Rebersol]

Just saw Mike in concert last night in Melbourne, Florida. He opened with this..just as precision in person as in this video, epic. He even autographed my pdf tabs after the show

[@CJ-gb3gu]

Absolutely astounding! I wish I could play like this.

[@EldonLand]

Awesome!

[@brettbauscher2833]
