I am a 66 year old, wannabe guitar player. I have survived 10 surgeries for cancer. I am so grateful for the internet that I can get on here and discover such wonderful musicians as this gentleman. I am so happy to know that folks like this are out there. Mike Dawes is amazing!. He makes it look so easy. Keep playing Mike! Make the world a better place with your music!
Just wanted to stop by with a huge THANK YOU to those of you that have been digging my videos on this channel. It is life changing, honestly. Here's to a happy holiday season, looking forward to getting some new tunes up for you ;) See you on facebook. Peace!
This video is 9 years old but I'm having my mouth wide open rn, never seen a guitarist go beyond the limit like you. Pure art, the guitar itself has merged with you. It's my honor to watch this masterpiece.
Candyrat is probably the most progressiveimpressive acoustic guitar label out there, and of all the stellar talent represented there, I think Mike Dawes is totally first call. He's a modern fingerstylist, but not one of those who cops all the usual rhythms, flicks, thwapps, plings that distinguish this breed of guitar playing. There are a lot of imitators, but very few real visionaries, and Mike is one of the best. Mike is constantly surprising. He's so fluid-dynamic, in the pocket, and he takes these hairpin turns like a hummingbird- all while keeping the musical dialog insanely witty. The guy is preternaturally adept!
Mike incorporates fingerpicking, slapping, harmonics, hammer-ons, pull-offs, even playing above the nut. :) I think that only a guitar player can really appreciate what he is doing. What do you think?
xbraindeadbreakdownx You realise hes even more insanely talented than you thought, once you've had a go on the guitar. Im pleased to see that the tab is available those talented godly types like this guy, although I am just a mere mortal. Oh well, maybe in another lifetime. :)
I saw him live last night and had the opportunity to have a chat with him afterwards, hes not at all "up himself", hes a really genuine, down to earth guy with a funny sense of humour and he's sound as fuck not to mention a fantastic musician.
Remember when you first hear Hedges and you were completely blown away? That spot was lost when Michael died.....Mike Dawes has filled it. Blown away every time I have watched this!
I really love how every finger of Mike plays a different thing, both rhythmically and melodically and how he's able to integrate all the parts of his guitar in his playing! An amazing guitar player!
This video is the perfect blend of a depressing realisation of my own inadequacy as a musician, and an inspiring and motivating display of human potential. Play on sir!
Man this just brought tears to my eyes! Minutes ago I just bought tickets to see Mike Dawes at Swallow Hill Music Hall January 30th 2024. I hope to see some of you there! They appreciate musical talent at Swallow Hill!
You don't simply play a guitar, you reach far where human abilities and sensitivity can express the amazing capabilities we all hold inside one way or another. Congratulations.
Its mad..to a normal person..he just looks really.good at guitar...when u actually know how many techniques he is using and how difficult each one is🤯🤮..fuckin amazin
There were a lot of people who played this song using guitar fingerstyle exactly the same as gotye's voices. And then comes a guy named Mike Dawes, who played this song exactly the same as the band, and also upgraded it to another level.... and i have to say that this cover is the best of the best, till now. 1 guy, 1 guitar, 3 instrument voices.. O.O
+JoeZhouRuan The setup is complex too! Check out my channel for an unboxing video of this pickup and a basic understanding of how most Percussive Fingerstyle artists get there sound. I know I'm selling my video as a reply, but I just want to help people out. Cheers!
Most of the music and guitar playing in this percussive/harmonics/tapping genre is pretty neat to watch. But for me, a lot of it gets considerably less compelling if I'm just listening and not watching the guitarist. Some of it actually moves all the way into irritating, like listening to a really loud clock ticking. Mike Dawes is one of the few artists in this style whose music I'll actually listen to in the car and on my phone rather than a single youtube viewing when I feel like practicing this kind of stuff on the guitar and I'm clicking on random Candyrat videos. Other than Erik Mongraine, I think Mike Dawes is the only other acoustic virtuoso whose music I still listen to since hearing them for first time. Kinda like Tool, I still listen to them and hope for new music but I haven't listened to a Chevelle or Ten Years or Deftones song in, well...like ten years.
Men at Work got sued because apparently their flute solo sounded like "Kookaburra sits in the old gumtree" (which it hardly did) and the flute player died shortly after due to stress. They ended up paying millions as it sounded similar to a child rhyme exactly like this. Thats fucked, and yet this is a song incredibly similar to those tunes...
Sorrowfull Blinger Ba ba black sheep and twinkle twinkle little star use essentially the same melody which comes from a french song Ah! Vous dirai-je, Maman.
I've been practicing for about 5 weeks now and i almost got it all the way to the chorus... thats 1:33 in 5 weeks practice and thats the easy part, that chorus seems impossible. Wow this song is difficult.
+PVP Proficiency If you've got to 1.33 in 5 weeks I think you will crack the whole tune, I find stopping for a couple of weeks then come back seems to help the muscle memory so helps the progression. I also find certain guitars easier to learn certain tunes on. Great to hear your version eventually.
Amazing!! Just saw him in Tarrytown, NY. He's on tour with Justin Wayward (Moody Blues) Justin introduced him at the start of the show and he did 3 songs solo. Then he played lead guitar for Justin the rest of the show. Terrific Talent.
Apparently there are over 300 people who watched this video and somehow still couldn't recognize talent if it smashed them in the face with a 10 Ton Hammer.
***** How is it a waste of time to voice your opininon, that's what the rating system is there for isn't it? I can sort of see where you guys are coming from but at the same time I have no clue why on earth you care what other people think of a video, just enjoy the video.
Quen Loust Honestly, I don't think I would've noticed that if you hadn't pointed that out. After that, I rewatched it and now I hate the video editing with a burning fiery passion hotter than the flames of whatever hell whoever is reading this believes in.
I saw the live version at Wells and was blown away by it. Wasn't surprised at all to see him featured by Candyrat--literally every one of the musicians that has worked with them is awesome!
Ray Mark Nocete - Check out Tal Farlow 50yrs ago playing over jazz changes with pinch harmonics - incredible - though not as inventive or modern as what Mike does.
I've been practicing Mike's cover for five years now. Still don't have it right, but I'm going to keep working. Thanks Mike for the inspiration. Thanks for giving us the goals.
@@Pheonix_7 I could play through the song after a few months of diligent practice, but I still don't have all the nuances right. I don't play the song much now. However I will say that this is a master level tune to play. Expect to put in some time. Good luck.
I may have commented before but what the hell. This is so subtle and nuanced it takes you to another place. Thanks Mike for your artistry, please keep on giving, the world is a better place for your gifts.
Mike just saw you play this tonight in New Orleans. Absolutely stunning, one of my wife's favorite songs, you won her over. I am usually the guitar nut but she absolutely loved your take on this song. Keep up the great work you're very talented.
7 years playing guitar and I can hardly see all you do in this song after half a year and its also so beautifull that i never get bored. hope one day ill be a litle bit like you into this
A very talented man and refreshing to see someone just play music as it should be ... Something that is slowly being taken away by a persons looks ,Music to me is the talent of the person be it by playing a musicial instrument ,writing there own tune or adapting a tune into there own way or being able to produce there true sound LIVE....
I've been listening to this clip for a very long time, it helps me to relax whenever I'm tensed or stressed out, thank you brother for sharing your amazing video and all the very best for your upcoming videos
Holy Crap!!! I just palyed along with you on my Bass and man...I was in another world! My playing IMMEDIATELY improved! Every Bassist needs you in their band! Great playing.
Mike, I loved your performance in Baton Rouge. You are totally amazing. Keep on being YOU...wooooow! Hope you had a safe trip back to the UK. :-) from meredith, (the mardi gras bead lady) I'll be buying your cd online...hope to hear you play again somewhere in the world before too long....Thanks for the joy of the music!
You have such an amazing technique in playing the guitar which is very original and wonderful...... Your career is going to SOAR now......... the sky is the limit.....
Mike is one of my guitar heroes ... Everytime I watch him play I'm humbled by how terrible I am in comparison and amazed by his artistry. Thank you for sharing, Mike!
I had the pleasure of seeing Mike play with Justin Hayward last night at the Egg in Albany NY. I thought the show was excellent and was truly impressed by Mike (as well as Justin).
I am astonished and overwhelming amazed at how extremely talented this man is! To have that kind of concentration on such complex hand and eye coordination while meshing with musical skills and instrumental genius , Absolutely miraculous! Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift of music with all, and with me, I listened to u play with huge admiration ! Follow u r dreams and nothing but greatness will succeed..,,and happiness in ur heartheart !

One of the very rare percussive fingerstyle guiarist who's music sounds melodic and technical at the same time. This is true art.
I am a decade late to the party... but wow what stunning talent! Crisp, melodic, beautiful and precise playing.... fab timing, and tone. LOVE it.

Agreed ! Brilliantly articulated
This was worded so well that I couldn't help but read it several more times...
Mike should have that listed on his bio somewhere, an excellent (and very accurate) description of our Lord and Saviour, Mike Dawes
Stephen Sheriff Dat wording doe
Mike incorporates fingerpicking, slapping, harmonics, hammer-ons, pull-offs, even playing above the nut. :)
I think that only a guitar player can really appreciate what he is doing. What do you think?
Anyone who knows anything about the guitar can appreciate this, I don't even play and I can see how insanely talented this guy is

+Quail Studios Tutorials I could not agree more!
+Sergio Filippi no, watch his thumb, the movements match with the baseline, all one track
+Sergio Filippi No mutitracking on this video. Mike's doing it all. That's why it's so amazing. :)

Is it the tuning in which it is played??

World's best acoustic guitarist in the world... Not kidding. Mike is "The Impossible" !
This is some Mozart Savant shit right here.
Haha so good
would love to see him and andy mckee do a project together
I agree Mike is the British Andy Mckee
They are. Andy's starting a label and Mike's getting involved apparently. Mike was at the Andy gig in London last night.
Sam Posener but it would be awesome if mike dawes, andy mckee, callucm garham, antoine dufor made songs together
Mini Gambino
basically a group with everyone on the candyrat label hahah
well........... Yes :D
wow how impressive. The dediction and practice he must have put in to make that look so effortless. Those harmonics were bangin
When your bandmates become somebody that you used to know
this version is better than the original. by like a billion.
Amazing!! Just saw him in Tarrytown, NY. He's on tour with Justin Wayward (Moody Blues) Justin introduced him at the start of the show and he did 3 songs solo. Then he played lead guitar for Justin the rest of the show. Terrific Talent.

When you put all your experience points into DEX. 😳
I was at the plini concert yesterday mike Dawes I'm In awe and mind blown
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like his guitar is tuned to a chord...?
I know i am a bit late(about 3 years Haha)but the guitar is in CADGAD tunning hope it helps
thank you for the inspiration!! this inspired me to quit playing guitar!!!
That is epic. Best percussive style, best use of harmonics, crazy scratching, slapping, plucking. Even above the nut playing. And a tight groove.
262 people are jealous they could never be as talented at anything as this guy
Now Gotye is somebody that i used to know 😂
These guys that play like this inspire me so much. Such a unique style and sound. Fantastic job.
This guy looks like Shaggy from Scooby Doo lmao
But he plays it amazingly! Congrats!

Does anyone realise the intro tune is "Baba black sheep have u any wool....yes sir yes sir three bags full"😂
