Mike Dawes - Somewhere Home (Official Live Video) - Solo Guitar

[@mikedawesofficial]

► The USB Fingerstyle Mastercourse is back in stock, with even more exercises and techniques covered: tinyurl.com/usbmastercourse

[@positiveintelligenz4308]

Hi Mike, your guitar playing is really inspiring. I recently purchased the sweet USB master course. Very cool lessons. What I desperately miss are tabs for all the exercises. Without tabs it's a real pain to follow along, basically impossible for me... Are they missing on my usb guitar stick or is this really by design? Thanks Xabi

[@whatsthebigfndeal]

There are guys with technical virtuosity and there are guys with emotive brilliance. This guy is one of the few people with both.

[@skripnigor]

Hands down the best candidate to represent the Earth in an intergalactic guitar competition.

[@johncspine2787]

Have you seen the kid born in 2000, Michael Hermès? Another one born with a guitar in his hands. There’s a vid of him at 13..pretty unbelievable..

[@stephen3073]

Applause!

[@mattosborn7440]

Should check out Finnigan August. Incredible young guitarist. Got a bright future ahead of him.

[@gretawilliams8799]

Alexander Misko is best but He'd be better to play I think

[@gertnood]

Better take Tommy Emmanuel to the competition too. Although I am not certain he is originally from Earth.

[@thomasleeb]

The world is a slightly better place with every original MD tune!

[@mikedawesofficial]

+thomasleeb Thanks mate, see you on the mountain!

[@eyarbroughzone]

I agree. What a talent and beautiful soul of music.

[@Zigotoy_3234]

+mikedawesofficial You're so amazing, our heart travels in an other dimension... I love your harmonics mastering. If you see this post, What is your turning ? All the best 😊

[@salzulli6290]

Rémi Castinel It sounds like DADGAD, aka Celtic tuning.

[@Zigotoy_3234]

Oh thank you :-)

[@janeconnelly2483]

The way he looks at his guitar...it's like it's his first born child. Gotta love this dude.

[@guitarzzzz1]

So beautiful my lord

[@shirleyeverett2928]

Never, ever have I heard such great guitar music! God has certainly blessed Mike Dawes with an incredible talent.

[@eagle-eye29]

Mike Dawes is an experience ❤

[@lulugigi9907]

About a year or was it two years ago, we first heard and saw Mike perform in Derry, NH, USA. He opened for Tommy Emmanuel and also came back to play along with him. It was an awesome show. We’d love to see the two together again. Not only are we Tommy Emmanuel fans, we are now Mike Dawes fans. 😊

[@frederickglasser5617]

In December 2022, they played in San Juan Capistrano. One helluva show.

[@Sumer61]

You are a guitar genius, and I say that from my heart. I fell in love with John Renbourn's fingerstyle guitar in 1983. You, dear Mike, are now the closest thing to perfection that I have ever seen, since the late, great John Renbourn. Your music is sublime. xx

[@jimvickers381]

Hadn't heard of Mike until I saw him open for Justin Hayward at Kent, OH. It was one of those rare concert occasions where you know you've lucked into seeing something unexpectedly extraordinary. The audience was sitting in stunned silence as they witnessed the virtuosity

[@jimvickers381]

of a special performer

[@kimranson4775]

I recently saw him with Justin and had never heard of him either. He is an amazing guitarist.

[@R-H-C-3]

Never stop playing. You have a special gift. Please continue to share it with the world!

[@daweed1095]

Real music, very emotional, true art.

[@pattiruiz6803]

Sometimes words just don't work and it's meant just for the soul.

[@rmchaleii]

Patti Ruiz very well said

[@Andrew_ISA_ChiefsFan]

One of the effing most beautiful things I have witnessed. Everything with a purpose. Loved it so much.

[@dopeydawg8954]

Still the best guitarist I have ever seen, I will treasure his autograph and kind words from Cardiff 2016 :)

[@draganloncarevic6202]

lucky you!!!

[@nunglkr]

Who's listening sept 2020👍 my aunt passed away with two kidney failure this summer, it's sad for me but listening to this brings so much relive and happiness back again.

[@blasmirca]

Makes me think of the quote : " Music - is the higher essence of love"!!!

[@jamesfreeman2980]

Beautiful sir. I felt the stress rolling off my shoulders. Do you realize that your music does that? Do you realize how much better we fell listening to you play? How life seems better. Thank you.....

[@c.matthatter8264]

That hand/finger stretch at 3:57 is incredible!

[@TheZacdes]

Yehh, hes lucky to have such long fingers:)

[@marklawrencenicolas2049]

Mike dawes i hope you gain more popularity. Its just for me when people say overrated sungha jung is the best when the true guitar god of this century is you. Probably the GOAT. More blessings

[@Discoteer]

34k subs!? Are you kidding me guys!? This guy deserves way more, a genius at work!

[@_Dio_Brando_69]

Been saying that for years now mate, i know how you feel

[@derrickboatman1560]

I love the use of all of his string slips and the way he makes hearing live guitar so beautiful.

[@carolynhutchens8739]

I love Mike dawes way of playing...he is amazing

[@allenanderson4911]

As a guitarist-geek spectator, I know a composition is brilliant when I stop caring about how difficult a piece is to play, and just wallow in the beauty and nuance of the sonic cascade of notes. Well done sir.

[@annemariedranchak5310]

Thank you! This is my favorite of the ones you play during Justin's tours. It usually brings tears to my eyes.

[@vishaldarnal5976]

Nothing just I closed my eyes and when I opened my eyes it was full of tears thanks man's for a masterpiece hat's off god bless you...

[@andrewr5159]

No matter how bad you think life is, just listen to mike and he will make all Allright. This man delivers happiness directly to the heart.

[@Papa-Peeps]

Simply Breathtaking. Mike i have been wondering if you would do The Gael in your unique guitar style. PLEASE!.....for an old Celtic.

[@Zathron77]

There is SO much 'Paris Morning' by Justin King in here. Absolutely beautiful to see the same souls being shared and altered to tell their own stories across the world. Absolutely amazing.

[@soolikagsdi]

I was looking through the comments just to see if anybody would mention this song. When I heard Mike playing this song all I could think was Justin king.

[@MagnusCthulhu]

Just heard this for the first time, glad I'm not the only one to immediately here Paris Morning.

[@1ch0r41]

This song is the embodiment of nostalgia. Initially I thought this was a cover of a song simply because it sounded so familiar i couldn’t put it into words. After realizing this was an original, I appreciate the amount musicianship it takes to make a song like this.

[@stephen3073]

Anyone who doesn't instantly fall in love, seeing Mike Dawes play for the first time, is a sad, maladjusted human being. Jus' say'n.

[@richardcampbell8498]

or just might have a different preference than you clever guy. it's attitudes like yours that keep humanity divided and hate-filled. jus' say'n.

[@vrendus522]

I think God likes him, man what talent. Beautifully play repertoire. Thnaks so much Mike.

[@gloriabravopueblo6500]

The Messiah that I wish. The gorgeous Mike!

[@alexanderdodson6500]

the cool thing is you can see the connection this guy has with his notes and its awesome to see him reacting to his own playing and feelings with the notes, you can tell they resonate somewhere deep inside

[@A1i1988]

Sensational. I just heard one of my favourite guitar solo performances ever. You're amazing Mike!

[@jongomm]

The guy clapping at 4:08 is like "It's over when I SAY it's over"

[@DeclanZapala]

+Jon Gomm I can't decide wether he just really likes harmonics, or is just trying to cover up the fact he thought it was the end - *well arse, I've drawn attention to myself by my clap, so I should probably commit to starting a full applause so I don't look like a prize plum* (He has a Hugh Laurie voice in my head)

[@MartynGrimes]

+Declan Zapala I'm thinking Plum - but maybe he was trying to encourage Mike (like he needs it!).

[@RvdKlein]

+Jon Gomm It was a particularly impressive piece of harmonics there. I got pretty excited by it too :P

[@aetpiano8277]

+RvdKlein yeah, that's what I thought too when I heard the clapping.

[@makkamao]

ahahahahahahahah

[@charlewis715]

mike, You have raised the bar for excellence to the stratosphere and beyond. xx

[@blzbob7936]

I fell out with the human race many years ago, but this tune just restored my 'faith'. It is simply 'heavenly'. x

[@charlesbyron9709]

Absolutely beautiful piece! Exquisite playing. Mesmerizing. ..I'm out of superlatives but only due to my inabilty to further express myself not to be remotely blamed on the gorgeousness I just experienced. Wow!

[@donnahicks5295]

Me too! What he said, and your music keeps reducing me to tears. I’m a soggy mess, thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Jentlyspeaking]

Just beautiful ❤️

[@waltlovealways]

you're a bad man Mike dawes. you're gonna make me put my guitar back on the shelf.

[@JasonZimmerman1980]

So amazing. This performance really moved me. You're such an amazing talent.

[@Skylights1t]

You are thé best Miké .. die hard fan from India .. God bless you all the time 👍❤️❤️❤️

[@SvupperZ]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@justinisasurfer]

I like the add on to The Violet and the Bee, adds a beautiful diversity to the song.

[@ZensōMusic]

Wonderful. So full of emotion, yet also stunning in its technical complexity. Just fantastic...

[@smallmercy]

Beautiful! Had me holding my breath, forgetting to breath.

[@wallsmile6184]

Very beautiful. Healthy and very happy Mike Dawes sensei.

[@dirust5472]

Lovely, Beautiful, calming, brings back such good memories of hearing you play it live during the JH Solo shows. Wishing you all good things! xoxodiane

[@ffej233]

Extreme talent here in Mike Dawes. Just stumbled onto this incredible composition and insightful talent and was knocked over. Thank-you mike for the years of sacrifice to share such beauty with the world. I wish all the best and brightest in your future.

[@fadlikarramal6443]

u made me miss home... what a beautiful perfomance mike.... very touching....

[@ronlitz9055]

This man is beyond the borders of "talent".

[@champs672]

All those hours practicing in a room - this is the reward … no way around hard work

[@Hairmetallurgist]

Can a KZbin video bring a 55-year old man to tears? Well, of course not! Obviously, it's the onions...

[@Funkytrip73]

I'm only 45, and I really really just hit my toe against my chair leg....

[@kathowed]

Sublime…

[@faizmubdi9411]

Absolutely stunning! mad skill, and beautiful play. Great job mate!

[@sannecop6155]

Großartig. In meinem nächsten Leben wäre ich gerne männlich u ein Mix aus Estas Tonne, Mike Dawes und Justin Johnson. Absolut geniale Musiker. Danke 😊

[@stephen3073]

Mike Dawes is proof that even the most outrageously perfect things are actually possible! I am slain But I can't stay slain. Gotta get up and try again.

[@TO-Mro]

Just came across this vid by accident and glad it found me! What an AMAZING live performance and pure incredible talent. Please keep producing beautiful music like this Mr. Dawes, it's good for the soul, the earth and almost healing to the ears!

[@tonywebb6545]

Soooo good, Mike. Beautiful job on the video!! Fantastic playing, as always. Bring on the double album!!!!

[@oscarmendez5660]

Beautiful, without words...

[@jean-paulstassen9006]

Great song and very well played. Thanks for sharing.

[@chrisrobertson916]

Hey Mike, I'm from Australia, my guitar god is Tommy Emmanuel, but dam your good, and I've added you to my playlist. Your contribution to guitar acoustics is brilliant. Well done mate, I'll be sharing with my friends.

[@anthonydooley224]

Unbelievable talent.

[@ronlitz9055]

a humble approach to perfection, absolutely beautiful.

[@sato4975]

Still can't believe my eyes and ear. Amazing!

[@WishedUponAVlog]

[@MichiL1972]

Great tune, Mike! Played so unbelieveable good ... it really moved me, thank you

[@csuarezmella]

Magical piece Mike. Definetly a true movement. Inspiring stuff!

[@puppetlady1]

I have listened to the live version so many times, I have it memorized. : o ) I was hoping to hear it on his recent bday, but he played 4 other gems. Reflectively yours in music and beyond.

[@duranjerome]

I saw this guy play this song at UWM in Milwaukee, WI and it blew my fuckin mind! Fantastic stuff

[@york9x19]

Your soul is felt in every note mate.

[@MrMacGaunaa]

Breathtaking!

[@TheRockstarnumber1]

It's one thing to have technical ability and be called a show off but when your using said abilities to make beautiful music like this it's like a big up yours to people who say 'ooh what a poser'. Great stuff.

[@caroleoberto2593]

We so enjoyed hearing you play last night at the Coach House with Justin Hayward. What a lovely evening. You're amazing!

[@michaelarthur4764]

Mike is amazing; love this!

[@colintimms1000]

Beautiful just beautiful 😃

[@sebastiandiaz3530]

lo vengo escuchando desde el 2018 y nunca pararé de escucharlo, esta cancion es simplemente magistral melodicamente, te lleva a "algun lugar" y para algunos de "casa", es como si esta cancion me conectara con un deja vu y no deja de hacerlo, este hombre simplemente es un genio, no entiendo como no puede ser conocido mundialmente, ya que su tecnica aparte de impecable, es como si tuviera oido absoluto y hace unas melodias genuinas como esta cancion, one, belle insomnie, el reciente arreglo "jump" de van halen, por dios que hace melodias UNICAS, siempre te voy a admirar MIKE DAWES, gracias a ti pude complementar mi gusto al arte, eres admirable y mi gran inspiracion....

[@victoriaburnett5802]

Like looking out a window, seeing green rolling hills...Look forward to hearing it live at the Lincoln!

[@dipanjan2992]
