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]

So does he

[@RichardTolbert]

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

[@tsalagiayastigi1676]

Richard Tolbert 🤣🤣🤣😎

[@guitarsteam1398]

Visit GuitarSteam for true 3D tabs! We're waiting for all of you there!!! Come on! :D

[@houseofcharm]

Or in Braille.

[@vorticity4]

That is the best comment ever!!

[@julesberhmannabeille4638]

Come on Richard Tolbert 🤣

[@RedEyedJedi]

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

[@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'.

[@piratepete609]

If we ever send someone to mars to represent earth,mike is the man with tommy Emanuel flying the rocket 🚀

[@VictorSanchez-ot6sk]

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

[@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.

[@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?

[@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!

[@micheleh9701]

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

[@figloalds]

Mike Dawes rocks.

[@davidwilcox4258]

How could that be anymore perfect.

[@TheWendable]

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

[@AshraJewels]

Loved every minute of it!!

[@deviant6string]

I never get tired of watching this. Mike Dawes you're the man

[@karolmuskala]

I believe im around here for 8 years like you. Are you still here?

[@deviant6string]

@@karolmuskala oh yea!

[@drfabulous77]

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

[@junesymonds8340]

This is some gorgeous megga talented dude., how does he do it,? Im just mesmerised !!!! Much love❤

[@zenheretic]

just absolutely brilliant

[@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! :)

[@stephencomstock1625]

jaw dropping talent...thanks for sharing

[@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.

[@saracowles2722]

This guy is outstanding!!

[@EmilioLanzaMusic]

Amazing Mike !

[@hallkbh0826]

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

[@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

[@pottendopottendo]

great tune, awesome performance! thanx for sharing!

[@joanjett8814]

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

[@surtikantisurtikanti]

This man is INSANE.

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

Oooh this is fenomenal bravo maestro!!!

[@davidhill3666]

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

[@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....

[@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

[@guitarist2752]

Magnifique version!

[@chiapress7533]

Beautiful. Grazie. 🎉

[@panggayuhdaniar1698]

Awesome!

Whoooooooo!!!

[@cazzozzy2940]

Magician!

[@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.

[@VietnamShorts]

mind blowing! He loves music.

[@AKNeal81]

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

[@RandomNEGuy]

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

[@myronmanuel683]

Incredible

[@stefanmuller3727]

Un génie!

[@dfrankrobinson9454]

Outstanding originality.

[@Slikkomen]

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

[@haraldschmidt8828]

damn it. In my next life, when I am 3 years old, I will wish for the first guitar and practice every day.

[@chaddobish2465]

From the soul!

you're a genius man

[@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 😁

[@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

[@mipmipmipmipmip]

@@sabresthoughts5407 (and talent)

[@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.

[@itchnerpatrickgabrielhiro1461]

So talented

[@arealtaldarim7048]

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

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.

[@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.

[@tompisaturo9785]

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

[@robertahartley1]

Groovy!
