Celtic Cadences with Mike Dawes

[@Sjrm126]

I love how the intro music is his cover of Scarlet by Periphery, which was originally a haunted shores song

[@soulvaccination8679]

The most beautiful sound I ever heard was a Celtic Melody played on guitar.I practice so that one day I will be able to capture the sound..

[@axleblaze123]

Northern Ireland is a great place to visit. Although it's a terrible place to live. Your song really captures the vibe of the place.

I was listening to this earlier in the day. Then My daughter (11 yr old) comes up a tells me about this music she real loves . It was Celtic guitar music. Great job kind sir.

Mike is shaggy rogers with a british accent and the hands of an angel.

[@Dklampanis]

Thank you good sir for the brilliance of your mind!

[@malpesta2626]

Thank you Mr. Dawes. I'm a very different guitarist compared to you, BUT, i really enjoyed this stuff because you said a couple of interesting and misunderstood things common in mind processing songs every respectable musician do. #1- harmonizing a melody from the BEGINNING of the creative process. #2- Add variations to it (especially rhythmics, in this case). This is nothing special, all right, i got it. What's special is THE WAY you go through this simple way of thinking. Very specific and systematic. I like it. Last but not least, I enjoyed your right hand beat (or kick or whatever everyone wants to call it, doesn' really matter). I liked it because is a clear reference to the Irish culture, very tribal if you pass me the word. It reminds me of history of that country and gives to the song a good, maybe sad soul (BUT GOOD rocky windy cruisy landscaping sounds i hear). I'll go check out your album. You're great! :)

[@lucianodebenedictis6014]

he says that the melody is in 4/4 but the kick is in 7/4, but nobody seems to listen...

[@PmrGuitar]

im pretty sure the kick is a 7/8

[@kjb8198]

Amazing! Where can we get the tabs?

[@aronglongkumer4435]

Sweet lesson sweet melody

[@adam-a-pa]

I believe the percussion is right on cue

[@gqfiend]

The youtubetv ad worked all 3 times. But the video never came up. Nice

[@gqfiend]

Ha! And I’m able to comment!!

[@Shaktipat6]

What’s the guitar?

[@temanbedaalamchannel]

Flail Audio if i remember that was made by Andreas Cuntz

[@EddieCostelloMusic]

The banging on the guitar does not enhance the tune. Totally unnecessary. Just my opinion.

[@defaultusername4410]

I don't know about that percussion. As an exercise, sure, I can see it being a thing. But actually using it for a song? There's got to be some self editing here where you go "Hmm, yeah that doesn't sound good after all" but keeping it in there just feels like a forced gimmick.

[@aidilmubarock5394]

Or he have different taste than you, maybe??

[@brettmoore3194]

I'm sorry. But your soul was worth it

[@JunkieMonkey321]

i cant help but feel like if every percussive acoustic guitarist would just drop the percussive part they would be 6 times more enjoyable to listen to

[@RockGodFuck]

Nearly every fingerstyle artist uses some sort of percussive technique, and even if it's only the occasional thumb slap. It's a huge part of this playstyle. It might not be for you. It's a bit like saying if every metal guitarist would stop using distortion they would be 6 times more enjoyable to listen to.

[@cdamico97]

Andy Mckee would disagree

[@TheAto2000]

I'm yet to start learning that aspect of guitar. Interesting to know in advance that not everyone likes it.

[@centurionoath3568]

so I guess what your saying is that you appreciate the melody as much if not even more than the purcussive aspect of playing?

[@mojoefelix]

I agree wholeheartedly.

[@robbevanthillo2966]

The percussive is something you might want to work on, it didn't sound like it was on point. Not here to judge, I can't play the guitar like you do.

[@Wildman19941]

Robbe Van Thillo have you heard him play boogie shred? That displays his percussive prowess

[@RockGodFuck]

It's a polyrhythm... He plays them exactly where he wants them to be.

[@Snowy0123]

Robbe Van Thillo lolololol...you're a joke...

[@masterbeernuts9344]

Nice noodling but him hitting his guitar is annoying.

[@bobbenbrown123]

Master Beernuts what if I said ur super annoying for making that stupid comment u just made??? Jealous hater much? u wish u could play like him loser!

[@masterbeernuts9344]

That's fine if you think that. Have a nice day.

[@Chugins]

Master Beernuts That's exactly what I was thinking. What time signature was that intro in? Sounds like he's just arbitrarily hitting the guitar. Regardless, still annoying. Also, lol at that guy that you pissed off by having a different opinion than him.

[@jasonrhodes5034]

He does make pretty decent comment that the song doesn’t work rhythmically like you think it should. Left hand is 4/4 ish but really at about 70 and right hand kick is 6/8 I think. It’s a bit of a cinematic piece than a song

[@PmrGuitar]

melody is in 4/4 back drum rythem in 7/8.
