Dang you smokin!❤

[@pdrtor2]

My guitar does not do that.

[@arealtaldarim7048]

Of course it doesnt ahahah he's using a complete guitar rig with loopers, reverb, delay, frequency shifters and all that jazz 🤘😎❤

[@maestroraffiti]

Same thing with mine😂

My guitar sounds like that when I'm dreaming 😮

Ok. The more I listen to this, Dave has to join forces to sing with Mike playing and release a new acoustic version of Everlong!! Upvote this comment if you agree! :)

[@GMC2001]

Fuck yes

[@silverliner4894]

I just found this and I had to see if someone posted what I was going to say and you nailed it. Great minds think alike

[@marting.official]

Send this vid to Dave.

[@danskhansen]

Yes, please!!!

01:48 made my brain melt, can we exchange insurance information?

[@remergeband]

Hi Casper. You're a great guitarist as well. I enjoy your originals very much! I think most guitarists would agree that Mike Dawes brings a little something extra to the table.

Your tiktok version of Slow Dancing in a Burning Room is my wake up alarm. I love it so much :)

[@brucewilson1958]

I was blessed to hear Michael Hedges perform live in a small town High School Auditorium; an evening with Windham Hill. I had never heard such sounds coming forth from an acoustic guitar. Truly Revolutionizing. This Cat Mr. Mike, is on a similar Road Less Traveled. Michael hears you, Brother. Bravo.

[@mikedawesofficial]

[@tirregius]

Saw MH at a little outdoor theater in Saratoga shortly before he died ... never saw someone replace a broken string in less than a minute while continuing the song with his left hand! Unbelievable.

[@mickylawless1941]

I also saw Micheal Hedges many years ago. One of those magical moments. If Mike Dawes ever comes to my town, my wife and I will be up close to the stage.

[@robtoc]

I love this!!!! I too saw Michael Hedges back in the early 90s at the Keswick Theater in Glenside, PA. If Mike comes this way, will definitely see him....AMAZING!

[@Mrbumbons1]

Every time Mike Dawes pops up I go watch some MH. A GIFT TO US ALL. Thank you both.

[@thatlonewolfguy2878]

This is it, the single best cover of this on the entire internet. Nothing is ever going to come close to this. This is perfection.

I can't figure out if Mike Dawes is a better guitar player, composer, arranger, or drummer. So many gifts.

[@wadeedens9785]

Mike, your playing prowess is surpassed only by your arrangement skills. Dude, this is an A++ win! Great work! You sir, are appreciated.

This is so beautiful. When a cover of a song is done so well, catching the essence and enahncing it even more, to where you would choose it over the original - just wow.

Annoyingly talented

Great cover Mike. Huge fan from the Philippines

It’s obviously otherworldly skill on show but it brings out the brilliance of the original so well too 🤟🏼

The finger fills! Like he's playing the tablas while doing 80 other things.

Mike you are so god damn talented. I have seen you open forJustin 4 times & your 20 minutes are always so refreshing. Your fingers are so long and play chords I didn't kmow existed. Bravo! My favorite is when you use your guitar as a drum beat. Thanks for your brilliance. Tom in Delray Beach Florida,

[@mikethegrunty5968]

This performance has somehow managed to recapture and ignite the joy and beauty of hearing the track again for the first ever time. I got hit with nostalgia all over . This is truly a landmark in modern guitar and music. Absolutely, simply breath taking.

[@SchalkNeethling]

You are f**king amazing. Thank you for sharing your talent, music, and heart with all of us.

[@Prey.Rock99]

I love this so much, just put a smile on my face seeing the video thumbnail in my feed. This is one of my fav songs

[@LifeHawkeye]

I first listened to Chase’s version of Landslide by Fleetwood Mac a few minutes ago when it was randomly suggested to me. That was powerful. Then I heard this and now I’m subscribed. This world is so full of talent sometimes I forget that. I’m a longtime guitarist of 36 plus years now at age 50. Anymore I have basically 3 speeds: Progressive technical metal, bluegrass, and anything in between that hits me in the feels. This hits me in the feels. Excellent work Chase, I look forward to checking out all your stuff brother.

[@mikedawesofficial]

Thanks 🙏 - Mike 🙂❤️
