Mike D: Purple Rain/Free Falling (March 2023)

[@kinesiologyinstitute]

I just love listening to Mike's amazing playing. Seeing him with Tommy Emmanuel live was transcendent. He talked to us in the lobby after the concert and was so generous with his knowledge and kindness. I bought his guitar course and it is tremendous. I intend to go to one of his guitar camps which must be like camping out in heaven..

[@ColinRuthem215]

Congrats Mike, you just made everyone in that room sell their guitar! lol Your incredible man!

[@mikaelrehnholm6177]

Fuck!! 2 of my guitars commitet suicide. The rest packed their bags and gave me the finger and left.

[@dream1way]

Love the raw acoustic sound. No singing, no backing track. Deserved a better round of applause at the end!

[@andrewgraham8440]

Amazing sound !

[@nigelkippax9317]

4 pick ups in the guitar, then through a mixer, delay and reverb and into a standard PA system
