"if just one acoustic guitar fan discovers the original, discovers Periphery or discovers metal through this cover, then the arrangement will have been a success." - Mike Dawes Thank you my good man, i have now found Periphery! good arrangement!

Thanks for the love through the pandemic folks! Please do hit 'like' & comment below, it really helps with the algorithm stuff which means I ultimately make more music. If you subscribe and hit the bell I'll give you a real life in person sweaty post-show hug one day! x

[@MrDmadness]

I still come back often.. this song destroys the original by so much.. sadly I don't have an extra guitar to keep in tuning to practice it enough.. it always fades and never gets even near your level.. but wow its fun to play.. and listening to you play it is always super impressive 👏

[@GuitHub4353]

I am lucky enough that you already did that before the pandemic!

[@trevorwilliams632]

Hope to see you in concert once again soon with Justin and on a solo . Are you hoping to do a UK tour in 2022 ?

[@mikedawesofficial]

You guys are so damn nice. Lots of £$€ raised so far for these great causes. The internet is awesome. Fans of multiple genres combine! #lvlup

[@Suspiciouslavatoryhole]

mikedawesofficial I don't get why ur not as popular, ur music is so inspired and relaxing, 🤘🏻

[@BigfootRunning]

I played a version of this (acoustic) as my brother and his wife walked down the aisle at their wedding. Easily my favorite song of all time.

[@thwoo-]

Dude thats sick! I know I’m a bit late but congrats to your brother and wife. Did they know it was periphery or were you playing it because they thought it sounded nice? Either way that still cool af

[@jasperquahmusic]

I have been listening to this for the past 2 years and I only listened to the original periphery song just now. Now I realise how genius of an arrangement this is. Absolutely mind blowing

[@ilrs]

yeh

[@MarkusSigus]

+Olly Steele wow,need Mrak Holcomb,and Misha M00ns00r comment too!

[@ensomniiac]

I don't often comment here on youtube, but I felt I owe it to ya. Been playing guitar about 30 years now. My first inspiration was Micheal Hedges, then it became Andy McKee, later Erik Mongrain...you my friend are the reason I am still inspired to play the instrument. You are a outstanding musician and I hope you realize how much you inspire many people. thank you soo much Mike.

[@HYUGE]

I still feel shocked when i think that how we all have evolved with time and we created some beautiful tools to entertain ourself for our amazing senses given by nature to us.And how someone enters this world and changes the world around us.....Thank you mate for creating more possibilities on a single tool.

[@AlbertGyorfi]

Astonishing arrangement and playing, Mike!

[@MrJdsenior]

Yes, It is amazing how different some covers sound than the original. This one is beautiful. I remember my aunt saying, when she was about 80, many years ago, that she thought that the reason she didn't like the rock music of the time had nothing to do with the music, but the instruments and the way they were played. Actually a pretty perceptive observation, when I think back to that statement, listening to covers like this. But then, she was still sharp as an unused hypo needle...the kind of person that said on Tues, May 14th, in 193X such and such happened, in detail. I can rarely remember what I had for breakfast THIS morning. Thx.

[@EdenKaiOfficial]

Got addicted to this song!!:-D

[@trevnevit123]

Who’s here after seeing this in London at the Roundhouse with Periphery!! This was amazing!

[@williamdagnall4149]

🙋‍♂️

[@thwoo-]

Ahh man I’m so glad we’re getting a studio version of Spencer’s vocals over this. If london was anything to go by then the upcoming periphery singles will be sick

[@tylerduschel7403]

Damn dude. Amazing job. Mark was correct in saying that you bring a totally different mood to the song. Bravo

[@ronlitz9055]

I don't really think you have any comprehension of how much enjoyment you bring to so many of us. Always in awe.

[@najtrows]

This is the first version of this song i've ever heard and it is awesome!

Pretty sure I've just heard the sweetest tune of my life. . .

Haunting. The original and this version-execution is perfect. Haunting.

[@davidacosta3874]

Those two last chords! So goooood. Ufff

[@holeefuksumtingwong5788]

Love Periphery anyway. But THIS, this is fucking amazing. I could jam this and this only for the rest of my life and be happy.

[@bearlop]

Mike is a stunning percussive acoustic guitarist and the future of acoustic music.

[@infonator1]

Wow! Ok now! A new frontier on how we percieve acoustic guitar. How deep and complex and flawless and and the tremelo the bending the picking the cleaness of it all! Just everything I wish I could do! And the imagination! So here there zig and zag and melody and crispness. Just the totality of it all! The recording is so fantastic. I did'nt think that when I clicked on to see this vid. I would be this impressed! And I'm a guitarist!

Man.... Just incredible.. Beautiful arrangement, i love the original song and i love to play fingerstyle too.. And you came with this.. Beutiful work man. Keep doing this

[@manishmanbert8592]

This is even more beautiful than the original. Spencer singing on it with a soft voice, oh man, would be having goosebumps throughout.

[@ericsteinhauer4823]

Amazing! Mile Zero would work great in this style as well.

[@Hasturous13]

Mile Zero, A Black Minute, Muramasa, Stranger Things.... There are so many Periphery jams that could be done a justice

[@lucascecil6287]

I have had the pleasure of meeting Mike twice while he toured with Justin Hayward. He was great!! A really nice guy!!

Mike is a special talent. Very rare.

Mike you should use your loop pedal more often! That part was just stunningly beautiful :D

[@MetaltManiac]

My God....I cannot like this enough. Unbelievable!

[@LarcherESP]

I've been playing guitar for like 13 years, only electric. this video makes me want to sell all of my gear and pick up an acoustic and start learning how to fingerstyle

[@14AspenDrive]

ggwp do both wtf. A guitar is a guitar

[@bidyutdatta5042]

He used to be a electric Guitarist. His Les Paul broke one day and he took lap tapping and then acoustic and he is now worlds best

[@antejalvela]

The best part is when he's pulling those harmonics unnecessarily over the neck and smiling 'cause he knows he could do those normally. :D Loving everything about this cover.

[@LeviClay]

Wonderful job Mike!

[@johnthaxton246]

Hey It's Levi Clay somewhere else on the internet Great to see you

This is absolutely amazing. I haven't been this blown away by an acoustic guitarist since Andy Mckee.

Perfect. Just perfect. This is even capable of singing, the original one with all the screams and high notes... nope. Would love this one to be on Spotify

Mr. Dawes, your skill is amazing, your work Increadible... this arrangements is so beautifully made... Thank you for being on KZbin.... I love You GodBlessYou

[@OwenNZ]

I've watched this so many times and seeing the title change confused me so much. Still love it just as much though

[@jimscouten6092]

Ok. Mike is simply an amazing acoustic guitar player and I am an instant fan. Recently discovered him but I am old school metal guitar player and appreciate this style but have been out of touch, who started this style of acoustic playing, enlighten me? I am 57 years old and can play play all the greats I grew up with: Joe Satriani, George Lynch, Yngwie Malmsteen and everyone before them and in between. Want to chance things up a bit by playing acoustic but not sure if I can keep up with these young and upcoming guys. Amazing musicians!!

[@hebrewuser]

I wish the riff at the 3:00 min mark would go on forever...

[@holysmokes4493]

You and me both.

[@robinruddock4638]

Never too late to discover a beautiful song such as this. Brilliant arrangement, restrained but so evocative, technical mastery.

[@Watsk3burt]

So I spent the last 5 nights tabbing this song out by ear. Feel free to check out the upload on my channel. Keep in mind that I did it by ear, so be gentle...

[@anthonysantiago8668]

Metal is AMAZING, but this song is a great reflection as to where I came from in my guitar journey. Back to the basics, Stripping the distortion from the tunes, giving me the organic sound I love from an acoustic guitar. Reminds me why I need to buy another acoustic guitar. Great interpretation. Loved every second of it.

How's that even possible? That's it, it is not possible. HAHA got you, u zucks m8, reported, flagd as fake.
