[@mikedawesofficial]

Hey everyone, the new video for 'Overload' is now on my KZbin channel. Enjoy!

[@AxiomApe]

You're an inspiration man. There's a special feel in your sound. Always great to listen and learn something new. Thank you.

[@Turdsplosion]

Does your guitar have a baritone scale? Looks long, but maybe I'm just trippin'.

[@VictorSanchez-ot6sk]

I was mad with the world 5 minutes ago; I'm happy again this is pure talent.

[@gearsandgod]

Man I wish Stevie could see this.

[@Onpokoo]

Savage bro

[@BeefNEggs057]

gairsandGod You don't thing God has a KZbin account? He's like, "Stevie, you gotta see this" and shows him this vid on his GPhone 7 plus.

[@burntlemon9923]

David D Stevie ain't dead dude. That said God probably still did what you said

[@detectivejonesw]

I think hearing it is more important

[@gdfggggg]

[@deviant6string]

@@karolmuskala oh yea!

[@moneyandtimefreedom3352]

HOLY SHIT! Freaking mind blowing, everything I’ve heard you do is stunningly beautiful. Am I the only one wishing it would just go on and on?

[@KazKasozi]

I can listen or watch this for hours on end. He can play one song for the whole show and I wouldn't care!

[@terrypogue]

The most talented guitarist I’ve seen or heard

[@armingraeber5893]

... such a wonderful Interpretation ... Thank U ... ❤❤❤

[@PickinDoc]

Wow! Saw Michael Hedges a gazillion years ago ....loved him...such a talent lost too soon. THIS guy is like his spirit-child. BRAVO!

[@micheleh9701]

I saw him live last night. He's a fascinating and nice young man. An amazing talent!

[@RichardTolbert]

They're going to have to start making tabs 3D because of Mike Dawes...

[@tsalagiayastigi1676]

[@grampsskateboarding4814]

Great tasteful cover, such a great melody. Together Alone is low key my fav CH album. Bravo mate from NZ

[@ronlitz9055]

At one time I thought the "Ventures" were top of the food chain, along comes Mike Dawes. A genius. How can it possibly improve? Time will tell.

[@davidwilcox4258]

How could that be anymore perfect.

[@TheWendable]

David Wilcox Oh well now.... 🤔 I think i have to go do confession father! 🤣

[@russbeard3665]

Great use of looper, ideas galore popping out of his playing. Really damn good

[@tmatini]

Dear beloved Eric Roche you are recorded in our history in our mind. We MISS U

[@RedEyedJedi]

When your whole band has phoned in sick but you're Mike Dawes so it's not a problem.

[@stanislavpocaji]

This is genuinly awesome !

[@figloalds]

Mike Dawes rocks.

[@stephencomstock1625]

jaw dropping talent...thanks for sharing

[@jeremymckean3574]

Mike’s gotta tour the US more! This guy is crazy.

[@hallkbh0826]

Wow, move over Michael Hedges! Beautiful my brother, thanks for your gift of music to us.

[@rogerblackwood8815]

Got to be top of the class for this type of playing? Very accurate and amazing skills, normally an engineer would spend days mixing shit like that, YOU ARE DOING IT ON THE FLY! Respect and very nice!

[@derekreeve6337]

So unorthodox so sounds are insane, as I said on previous post never heard of him b4, but will watch his new posts with interest, the hippies got talent lol.

[@pottendopottendo]

great tune, awesome performance! thanx for sharing!

[@chiapress7533]

Beautiful. Grazie. 🎉

[@maureencoyle666]

The cosmic world has gifted us a man of extreme heavenly talent- Mike Dawes you are heaven sent and thank you grim the depths of all that is alive and good to put this beauty you possess in our in my life. I am married to your music and will forever be true with my love faithful Marianne Drake

[@mariannedrake9194]

I misplaced come from the depths Not grim

[@CrooksTrevor]

Never underestimate the power of a loop pedal in the hands of a talented dude.

[@skyjockbill]

He's not looping.

[@TopherHess1974]

he is looping when he starts the bass line dude

[@andyw6026]

He really isn't. I've seen him explain and demonstrate how he does it. NO loops.

[@TopherHess1974]

Andy W , he must have invisible fingers because he’s playing a solo only while the loop he created is playing in the background. Yes, I have seen his lesson on polyrhythmic playing. Watch again

[@TopherHess1974]

At around the 3:20 mark before and after he even stops and the loop is playing. To suggest that he’s the flash and moves so fast that his hands don’t move yet a rhythm is playing is daft and ignorant

[@Owenwilsonsnose386]

Thank you

[@arealtaldarim7048]

Sublime display of percussive elements. Mike dawes is in a league of its own!!

[@joanjett8814]

Now this is talent... you have to enjoy a artist with this attitude and creativity in his music .. love it ...

Outstanding originality.

[@surtikantisurtikanti]

This man is INSANE.

[@jmont1031]

Bad ass! Sorta like SIC! Awesome talent. 🎸🎶🎻

[@TheRaddish1]

Just in case folks think "this is just looping trickery", no, it's not. I saw him last night at SJ Jazz Winterfest 2020, and he is amazing. Was 30' away and watching him with my binoculars most of the show. Yes, he will throw down a loop for a percussion/bass line (he did his version of Zep's "when the levee breaks"), but there is A LOT going on over the top. More importantly, musical, emotional, creative. My only critique is sometimes he can border on the excessive-. My preference, don't over spice the food, or throw too many spices into one recipe. Otherwise, what is it? But the guy is a gem (and seems to be truly nice, and down to earth). I look forward to seeing him many more times!

[@jorgenicolasbustamante4079]

OUTSTANDING. REALLY IMPRESSIVE!

[@1Greydad]

I am fascinated with your playing! I would love to hear you do this with a professional vocalist!

[@TheWendable]

1Greydad Any vocalist would spoil this because sadly, they open their mouth.

[@1NcognitoXx]

This has plenty of melody, and in a lot of his covers he usually incorporates the melody of the singing in some way. He's perfect all by himself 😁

[@_coreyjason]

Who could dislike this video, my goodness, amazing talent!

[@peterjones6456]

People who are jealous they can't do this

[@guitarioTrio]

Magnifique version!

[@RandomNEGuy]

I saw Stevie Wonder live in the mid 80s -- this versionis amazing. Wow.

[@deancavander]

There's no limit of what you can do with that guitar -referring to Mike Dawes-awesome!

[@sterlingfury]

Awesome ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@RichHayes-s2e]

Wow! Jaw dropping use of the instrument

[@AKNeal81]

Got so lost in this performance that i was applauding at the end like i was in the audience!

[@Slikkomen]

Love the style, it's the same way I play..Heart, soul, and Body.

[@ynakileano5762]

I think there's a line between "Being phenomenally awesome" and "I sold My soul to the devil" This dude crossed over to the latter 100%

[@LittleMAC78]

At his level. I think the devil would sell his own soul to Mike! :)

[@johnjacobs1625]

Mike has the funk down!

[@abominabletruthman]

4:31 - 4:36 sounds like a nice tribute to Spare Change by Michael Hedges!

[@lesterbren]

pixiecatneuter Spot on, good ear!

[@TheRaddish1]

I asked him last night after the show if Hedges was an influence/inspiration. He sorta looked at me like I was crazy (perhaps) and said Hedges was one of his main gurus.

[@VietnamShorts]

mind blowing! He loves music.

[@davidhill3666]

On Time !...........Nice.

[@panggayuhdaniar1698]

Awesome!

[@nateolson8514]

This is incredible! I'm going to play around with this later and see if I can put it together!

[@NoName-to5xl]

Did you? I bet you didn't.

[@DwijayBane]

crazy performance loved it ... Feel Free !!! ;)

[@myronmanuel683]

Incredible

[@MNISZECZ]

Omg, i want him!

[@marysefonta8371]

I like Stevie Ray Vaughan and his way of playing "Superstition", but I like also your way of playing, the différent tempo is so nice ! Of course, I like fingerstyles because of tapping and the way of touching the strings. Amazing and bluesy.

[@Mirko1957]

Oooh this is fenomenal bravo maestro!!!

[@aliciacrawley2323]

I am not sure if this erformance inspires me, or makes me giving up all my efforts!

[@guilhermesouza3461]

haha best comment

[@dukeofpearl]

Alicia Crawley Clapton said that after hearing Hendrix! Just work at it. If your heart and soul is in being the best you can be, then this is possible!🕶

[@sabresthoughts5407]

Anythings possible with enough practice and vision

[@jimgriggs2184]

@mipmipmipmipmip I gota say a lot of talent. A gift even. I have little talent for guitar, but I practice more than most people, I suspect. every chance I get there's a guitar in my hand. All that practice for all these years has really only polished up the turd that is my playing, and a polished turd is still a turd. But you know, I love it and play for me. And that is what really matters, play for you, if someday you achieve Mike Dawes level, great, if not then who really cares anyway.

[@guitarsteam1398]

Yeah, mate, I thought the same ))) Visit our GuitarSteam website! We collect affordable fingerstyle pieces there. Just come and play )

[@Slikkomen]

Been walking home; ever since I was born. Can't even walk along; that winding road. I pinch myself, is this just a dream Now I seek, that; that that.... I must be in a mistake; caring on that one thing In mind, out of body...can't help it while I weep....

[@rigobertovalenzuela3520]

Wowwwwwww excelente que sincronización de tapin y arpegios wowww2

[@tmatini]

Amazing . I wish we could get some tab for these songs .

[@robgiles3703]

[@Goodphish]

[@sizigia9345]

Whoooooooo!!!

[@AndrewSowerby]

This is one of the few times I've seen a bead of sweat on Mike's brow, and that was probably just the lights.

[@tompisaturo9785]

I saw him open up for Justin Hayward in S. Orange. This guy is good!

[@philipgray3570]

one man band love it

[@violetadeoutono80]

Ele é fantástico!

[@nicolagiuseppe]

Smooth

[@Bejaardenbus]

Does anyone have any idea what kind of guitar and tuning this is? It sounds freaking great.

[@corona6099]

That’s a Benjamin guitar, mike knows the luthier personally and has him glue on those wooden scratch pads, I think it’s standard tuning

[@g.o.a.t5975]

I think this is in DADGAD tuning ,Mike's some other songs like Boogie shred is in DADGAD. This tuning is great for percussive finger style playing. So there is a chance that this might be in DADGAD tuning.

[@EricRipperOfficial]

Very cool, wish I could play like this

[@eriktempelman2097]

Ah, the reincarnation of Michael Hedges! Yes, that's a compliment. Big one, in fact.

[@АндрейКопыльцов]

Майк Доуз спасибо за вашу игру!

[@lhvent]

Great song

[@johnacevedo9635]

I want you to play at my wedding. ... I just need to find a wife. 🥴 😄 Excellent performance and what a beautiful voice. Very emotional dynamics. ❤👍
