[@terrywarren9158]

Do you sell the sheet music for this version of Hallelujah in any of your packages?

[@EdwardOng]

It was an honour making this one with you, Mike!

[@MichaelRoberts-ru1rw]

Incredible stuff guys! Thanks for sharing!

[@mikedawesofficial]

Man you crushed it

[@paolodirindelli2567]

You deserved it!

[@guitarlancer]

I would still enjoy a collaboration with either one of you!! Ways to go guys!

[@matty4natty]

This was excellent- such a beautiful creation in a moment for so many to witness 🙏

[@s.wilson5199]

This is the perfect example of playing to serve the music rather than to showcase one's skill. Absolutely sublime!

[@mikedawesofficial]

Thank you for that

[@s.wilson5199]

@@mikedawesofficial I would love to see the product of a collaboration between you and Nuno Bettencourt. You are both extremely creative, have crazy skill, similar philosophies, and love making music in a variety of genres. Watching him play, I see the same excitement that I see in videos of you playing with Tommy Emanuel. Your joy in making music is infectious. I find myself smiling and wanting to join the "jam session" every time I rewatch videos of you playing with Tommy. Thank you for taking your audience on the journey with you!

[@pablojara90]

You don’t often see Mike playing in standard tuning and with a pick😂. Awesome arrangement

[@titusmajor]

This duet is absolutely beautiful, the sound is so warm 👌

[@kallehakkanen2189]

I watched this in bed right after waking up. What a lovely way to be brought back to the Land of the Conscious. Thank you.

[@mikedawesofficial]

Lots of love for my guitar playing friends! The 9 hour fingerstyle Mastercourse is back in stock: tinyurl.com/usbmastercourse

[@kurtsloop2462]

I have no musical ability whatsoever, but sometimes I just close my eyes, listen and pretend it's me playing. If I'm going to daydream, I might as well be the best.

[@mikedawesofficial]

@@Granger-e6i thanks man. This is actually a really interesting comment and topic. For me, and for this song, it’s not really a viral shred moment you know? This one is about melody and peace. Yet I really appreciate the perception of being ‘10 times better’, that’s really sweet because it sounds like you enjoy my playing 🙏 I guess what I’m saying is that if someone plays a concert of shreddy 16th notes for their entire repertoire, it would get boring. Do you agree?

[@dieselman7453]

Absolutely delightful cheers lads 👍👍🇮🇪

[@RS_235]

hollow vibes jesus 😢.... you're my inspiration ❤

[@abrahamedache5146]

@mikedawesofficial Good day Sir, can it be shipped to Nigeria?

[@roncarrigan8258]

One of the most powerful and soulful songs ever composed. Very well done.

[@townraoul]

Edward Ong? Ongod mate that was divine. 5 stars.

[@Liam-ii5si]

The opening 20 seconds of this song is one of the best short examples of reharmonization I've ever heard. You're expecting the usual sad chords underneath the "hallelujah" melody, but instead it sounds more mysterious and majestic. And then there's some descending stuff, a beautiful 7 chord at 0:29, and it effortlessly falls back into the original chords. Masterfully done

[@RayMak]

This is divine

[@mikedawesofficial]

Thank you Ray

[@CesarGonzalesF]

I missed You mike

[@andreadee1567]

Like heart and soul are playing a duet. Thank you both.🙂

[@pratyushdeb]

Feels so good to hear mike play different than his usual style

[@jongomm]

Gorgeous stuff fellas. What was the secret chord?

[@YA-ok1mo]

Gsus

[@mikedawesofficial]

Thanks mate

[@EdwardOng]

Thanks Jon!

[@daveh1822]

I usually hate covers of this song because Jeff's version is so iconic but this is something else, beautifully arranged and preformed.

[@mthobisikhumalo3701]

No competition here, no rivalry. Just two geniuses complementing each other ❤ big fan Mike. From South Africa✌🏾

[@EpicBurnReturn]

He's only gone and done it again!!! 🙏

[@biratdatta]

what a day to be alive today!

[@brianb9555]

That was beautiful and breathtaking, beyond words. What a gift.

[@daslous89]

Getting melted down by Source, priceless!!

[@lynnmoore611]

Sweeter than good red red wine. Brilliantly played on both instruments did justice to Leonard Cohen’s masterpiece.

[@EdwardOng]

Thanks❤

[@charlewis715]

Love it. There is no song you can't play extraordinarily beautiful. You absolutely are the finest guitar player of our time. xx

[@mikedawesofficial]

You are too kind!

[@stevestanley1114]

Amazing arrangement Mike. Such a powerful, beautiful melody, thanks so much.

[@BizzleTube]

Just what I needed. Transports from stress. Thanks, Mike.

[@jamessimon3433]

Anyone with the guts to tackle Florence is ok in my book! Belted nicely. And the guitar playing is spot on. Most covers do a low energy thing, but you captured the almost frantic and explosive feel of the original. Spot-on!

[@gabomandam7654]

Mike's guitar tone never gets old.

[@EdwardOng]

[@bousnanemessaoud2677]

among humans there are these kind of men, who sow hope while others thunder the brass bands of war

[@jthopkins2544]

It is my life long dream to have a moment like this.

[@jamessimon3433]

Anyone with the guts to take on Florence is ok in my book! Vsry powerful! And great guitar playing. Most covers do a lower energy version. You captured the kinetisicm. Spot on guys!

[@scottsanders9090]

I feel privileged to listen to the touch of the master's hand.

[@Run_Deep]

I have always loved this song and Mike you Ed ward knocked out of the park. It's the only version I want to listen to now. It use to be Leonard Cohen's version but this is my favorite now. After watching the 2 of you doing this song gave me and Idea of how I could do both parts on a single guitar. It might end up being reminiscent of having a Tommy Emmanuel flavor to it. Thanks Mike for the influence you have on my playing.

[@mikedawesofficial]

So sweet thank you. We’re very proud of the vibe and production of this arrangement ❤

[@lynnmoore611]

Beautifully soulful arrangement played to perfection. Lifted me up to a place I long to stay, so I listen again and again. Thank you both!

[@LaurenaLaCroix]

beautiful, I can sign along

[@tommyfindlay]

As loud as you can Laurena🙏🏿👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Our Ears were created for these insanely special moments in time 🎶🎵❤

[@cristinamorais4505]

Peaceful , I liked

[@MonsterERB]

Beautiful arrangement, and of course wonderfully played... trying to imagine Jeff Buckley's vocals added on top of this, that would be perfection.

[@mikedawesofficial]

[@siki197]

It makes me feel really happy tonight. I couldn't sleep and i found you tonight. Thank you very much for beeing. Lots of love from Germany, Black forrest. 🙏

[@kaylarobertson3050]

Absolutely amazing. One of the best renditions I have heard .👏👏👏🥲🤘😝

[@davidjohnston710]

Such excellent and unique interpretation, guys! Beautiful.

[@blainethemono19]

Dude. You are on a whole other planet. I would love to see you and Andy Wood together.

[@mikedawesofficial]

Andy is a legend. Love him

[@XENONEZZ2]

What a wonderful treat that was..!!...Thank you..!! 🙏🙏

[@4canspoon]

Beautiful.

[@guitarsolos89]

We've been blessed to witness this performance, hallelujah!

[@valentinelott9133]

Absolutely beautiful! ❤ Remembering Leonard Cohen (a fave of ours) brings tears to my eyes. 😢

[@nmitrading]

How much beauty can you add to something already so beautiful as this song. The suspended chords are such a great touch. Man.. such a stunning take. I felt all the tonal ranges were met here. Great job guys

[@briancrumpacker]

Perfectly tuned and such solid playing.

[@michaeldoef198]

My highscool buddy was a clasiical guitarist and he passed so this is my new go to

[@katherinewelling6026]

Wow. ❤️

[@gailwebber186]

Looking forward to seeing you this Thursday at The Birchmere. YOU should be the headliner!

[@ChintuRai-fk8rr]

This was so beautiful sounding not even commenting on the guitar skills...

[@akshatdhamale6039]

we need more such collaborations, this is truly a gem

[@franklinbrooks9506]

I was sitting just about that close when Mike played “Watchtower” in Decatur GA last month. I still get chills.

[@fastjazz]

That was an actual truly sublime musical experience there.

[@Yorkie285]

Oh the tone, super mellow and just the right amount of ring.

[@stevecole3192]

Stunning beautiful. Thank you gentlemen, and I didn't know you knew how to use a pick, Mike. 😄 Blessings from Kansas~

[@Preety-y8v]

Man , you made me cry for a moment 🥺😭

[@harackmw]

I been chasing that sound from my acoustic guitar for 30 years, well done guys. Incredible.

[@hilla42]

Love such collabs, so good and such a wunderful sound! Cheers, Lars

[@rolandalfonso6954]

[@carolyncalhoun7555]

Utterly beautiful! Can't wait to see you perform with Justin Hayward in the 'shwa' tonight.

[@DorothyOzmaLover]

Always have had mad luv for this one ever since getting to hear Jeff Buckley's masterful take, so it's a pleasure to experience your emotive touch that prettily gifts intoxicating harmonies. Cheers!
