longus Why is it cringey? It actually sounded great in this performance, and he even manages to control when he wants them to clap and stop clapping. If you've done any live music performance you'd know that this one's audience interaction was near perfect.
Some people are just gifted at certain things. Someone could be a better guitar player after 3 or 4 years of playing than someone who's played 25 years. Don't ask me why because i can't explain it. Learning the instrument is just easy for them it almost comes natural.
I bought a guitar recently, went to youtube to learn basic chord. Then, this video pops up. I click as i am interested in the song played with guitar, hoping that can learn as well. And now, i regret that i bought the guitar. ☺
I'm disturbed by the number of posts about giving up the guitar after hearing Mike. One would think you would be inspired. I've been playing "at" the guitar for over 40 years. At various times, depending on my dedication, I've been really, really good, or really, really bad. After finding Mike Dawes, I am refocused and have a new challenge. Come on folks...you may never be able to duplicate him, but if you learn even one thing from him to improve your playing, it's a good thing.
I'm 63 years old , so you can imagine how much acoustic guitar I've heard over the years this performance literally leaves you in tears., because your mind cannot fully process what you are hearing , it is that stunning. He must be heard by as many people as possible

One great guitar player said a long time ago that improving on your guitar playing is like a deep chasm that has no end. Better enjoy playing music then instead on giving up on it after discovering great artists. Let them be our inspiration!
I recently discovered Mike, what an amazing acoustic guitar player!!! I am 57 years old and grew up playing all the greats of my time. I played solos of George Lynch, Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani, and of course EDDIE VAN HALEN!! Mike is the perfect example of putting a guitar in the right hands. So great to see newer musicians making a name for themselves. Stay the course my friend, you are going places!!
This. I used to hate practising my scales and moving up and down the neck etc. Now I can't find enough minutes in the day to practise directional picking and scale work.
Oh man this is so overwhelmingly amazing. The amount of practice it takes to incorporate a looper on this level...plus the tone is amazing, bright and dripping with reverb, the percussion from your hands and feet, and the backing track that guy seems to be cuing up...this is not a guitar performance, this is a juggling act featuring guitar.
Im not kidding. Mike dawes is so inspiring to me. I mean you can really see how he feels what hes playing and that motivates me even more to play the guitar and trying to make own stuff :)
I played guitar for years and years, and this young man has taken my heart ❤️ I'm in total love with Mike's style and blown away by his exceptional talent 😍
Did he grow a third hand to quiet down the crowd at the start of the second verse? An absolutely unreal talent. The harmonic section in the bridge was killer too
Such gorgeous music!!!! I love to listen when Im reading a good book...althought I do miss the theatrics of watching as well!!! Thank you so very much for sharing your enormous talent!!! Looking foward to seeing you & Justin again at Narrows Center in Fall River, MA and Rockport!!! 💚☮️
As a guitarist that will never reach that level, you can't be depressed, you just have to be thankful you're skilled enough to appreciate just *how good* he is.
Saw this dude open for Periphery. Had no idea who he was or what to expect, but I really enjoyed it. Never thought I'd hear a killer acoustic cover of a pop dance song before a prog metal show, and I never thought it'd *work* so well, but lo and behold. Great musician!
Mike Dawes. Guitar hall of fame worthy. No doubt. Wish I could hear you play "Heart" with Plini LIVE some day.I listen to that song (both versions) on a daily basis. Please never stop making acoustic music.
So much lost on competition here. It isn't a comp people. It is a musical family tree. Join it. "Learn like you will live forever, live like you will die tomorrow." Oh yeah, thank you Mike. Thoroughly enjoyed. Wishing I could listen to you live. Will keep an eye out.
Hey Everyone, this is what TALENT looks like. Understand? This guy did his homework BUT has talent. The true glory is that he found his talent and worked it. Peace.
Finally a crowd that can clap in time without fucking Up the performance. Great!
still cringey though
given its a school of music, id be dissapointed if they couldnt lol
maybe they had been trained before the performance :PDD
They're all music students so I would be shocked if they couldn't keep a beat😄

Yes he did well but u check out tommy emanuel nice one too but he is off classic type music
Sungha Jung.
Have you seen Phil Keaggy? th-cam.com/video/3wpn6LVxX0s/w-d-xo.html So different...but equally as good.
Check out Luca Stricagnoli

Thanks Tyler, we think so too!
Imagine what he could do if he had another hand! Wow!
probably faping while guitaring
True818 😂😂😂😂😂
uh-huh...could probably use it to make love to a woman at the same time❣❣😱
I’d probably use the other hand to masturbate at how amazing I was !
I dont believe the universe could withstand the shear amount of awesomeness.
I love to see a musician who OBVIOUSLY loves music. Simply outstanding !
you know when a person is really good if he/she makes it look easy
He played this with 0.000000001 % of his power
I'd hate to be the guy performing after him
Flying Kamui i can't imagine mike daws ever performing as a opening artist 😂😂
Same
Flying Kamui hate to be the one after or before..... either way... you're just gonna look lame with a guy like him on the show
I’d be like, so heres Wonderwall
Unless it was also himself.

Funny, it's usually teenagers making comments with similar sentiments...
Hey I’m a teenager we’re not all bad

The video does have 1.4 million views and this guy makes his living touring to sold out audiences so I think he's definitely made it

How to make any pop song sound majestic.

Mike Dawes is a gift from God. Pure greatness
Not only is he a fantastic player but a showman as well. A joy to watch.
This was unbelievable
I love how he is simultaneously playing the guitar and using it’s acoustic properties to create a secondary percussive sound.

How every guitar instructor should teach their first lesson. Makes the student see the power.

Me:
My guitar: why are the other dads so much cooler than u?!?
Lol!!
😅pity
the other dad keeps his old kids in the basement
Love the crowd participation, great music!
I've never been so mesmerised by guitar skills for while. Stunning
this is much different.

Why would you be kidding? 🤡
what kind of guitar is he using? gotta get me one of those since mine seems to be broken, she does none of this stuff.. :-(
@AbdM yeah, a dude's guitar is usually a she. Mine are all a she, and all called "Strings McGee"
i dont think the problem is with the guitar bro😂
but if you say so😂i think mine is broken too😂
Have you tried turning it off then on again?
Have you tried putting it in a bag of rice? I heard that helps.
Put toothpaste on the broken bits
I played guitar for years and years, and this young man has taken my heart ❤️
I'm in total love with Mike's style and blown away by his exceptional talent 😍
I love watching those that have a passion for anything and they are so awesome at what they love!

The 163 dislikes are from the people who injured their hands while trying to play this..
Mike - What I like outside of your sheer talent, is the enjoyment you get from playing the guitar!!! and wish I could become half as good as you.
Did he grow a third hand to quiet down the crowd at the start of the second verse? An absolutely unreal talent. The harmonic section in the bridge was killer too
Love the quality of Dawes performance in obtaining the feel for every song he plays. This is also excellent.
Dude you are fantastic!!!! I appreciate that hard work you've put in love it!!! New love for music
I’m often blown away by people on TH-cam...but you Sir are so unique with precise clean sounding tones. Bravo!!!

So much respect it’s unreal man, that was really beautiful,

It makes you wanna practice or make you wanna dump your guitar. Unreal this guy is.
Yoda you have just become
Can't believe you played this on an acoustic guitar. You did phenomenal bro.
My favorite song and my new favorite artist, thanks a lot. Dude you're awesome.
His sense of humor is as good as his playing! Awesome job
As a guitarist that will never reach that level, you can't be depressed, you just have to be thankful you're skilled enough to appreciate just *how good* he is.
He isn't skilled, he got there through practice and discipline, just keep working towards it 👍
It's so good i could listen to it for an hour.
Astonishing Performance.
Keep up the Great work..
Mike Dawes= Legend:)
Saw this dude open for Periphery. Had no idea who he was or what to expect, but I really enjoyed it. Never thought I'd hear a killer acoustic cover of a pop dance song before a prog metal show, and I never thought it'd *work* so well, but lo and behold. Great musician!
Love to see this how guy is obviously enjoying himself so much while giving others a good time.
You are awesome...I really wish your talent is seen and appreciated by all.
Cheers!!
Another spellbinding performance, this is so absolutely amazing....
The worst part of this is, you can only hit like button one time
What do you mean? I hit it twice just fine.
I dont usually comment but damn ... you're awesome.. those coordinations are just wow!!!
Beautiful music, beautifully played. Just a joy. I can't remember how many times Ive played this!. Thanks
So this is what Shaggy does when he’s not on scooby doo

Big dog mate!! expensive eh.
Literally a one man band! Legendary!

That my friend is so so soooooo many hours of practice..... hard work and practice....... amazing brother......
There's no better concert than when the guy on stage is having so much fun

I love this so much😂😂😭 when the lightshow went on, and him going beast at it got me hyped asf, holy crap💯💯
Too much what a wonderful musician and artist imagine 20 years on!!
really awesome bru!
6 strings, a wooden surface and a loop machine that sounded like a whole band. Magic. Sheer magic.........

I've never seen anything like it... I'm really dumbfounded! Congratulations!!!
and all this time there;s this iconic ES 335 on stage thinking "'what the Hell"'? really briiliant Mike .love your works!
I cried... (sniff!) so beautiful, so heartfelt...
there's a lonely road show. All that music from just one man...
Im really stunning and spechless.. i never thought an accoustic guitar could be played like this...
God damn this guy's talent is endless!
This guy is amazing - never heard such genius in such a long time
This guy is so good . Love it . Thanks Mike .
I can feel his passion while playing the guitar

Very valuable design. It took a lot of hard work to fix this. I wish you the strength and courage to create more like this.
Probably the best guitar player on the planet.
