- Mike Dawes puts up big numbers on TH-cam with his solo fingerstyle arrangements of popular songs. But it’s Dawes’ technical virtuosity and passion for playing the acoustic guitar that makes his viral videos so compelling.
For this AG Sessions in Place, filmed in Bristol, England, Dawes chose to showcase his original composition “Somewhere Home,” as “it makes a wonderful little lesson and introduction to DADGAD tuning.” Dawes plays his Cuntz CWG23s+ Mike Dawes Model guitar, augmented with a ToneWood amp.
According to Dawes, DADGAD is a “useful tuning to fill an auditorium with sonic joy.” And while auditoriums may be shuttered for a while, we suggest playing along with the video, filling your home with sonic joy.
“Somewhere Home” appeared on Dawes’ first record, and a live version of the piece will appear on his upcoming live album, Shows and Distancing, Live in the USA. And you just might hear it if you tune into his livestreamed concert on November 1.
If you want to learn more from Dawes, he is offering one-on-one “Lockdown Lessons.”

Thanks for coming to my home guys, you have all been such good guests and remembered to take your shoes off 👍 Enjoy new videos every Friday on my channel (shoes allowed)
Absolutely gorgeous!
Kirby Jane thanks I did my hair and everything
Hey Mike! Ive been trying to figure out "Purr and Sway" all morning but i cant figure out the positioning. Any chance you could do a play through sometime??
If you put up tabs for it on your website id happily purchase them btw ;)
wardkdouglas sure there’s a bit of it in a guitar world video on melody from a few years ago. Should give you the positioning :)

wow that was a fast reply... lol
Thanks a bunch, ill look it up!
Wonderful! There is simply not enough TH-cam content featuring Mike Dawes. I was so happy to see this video pop up today. Thank you for this Mike!
Such a joy to see someone who doesn’t hide behind his techniques but shares and inspires 🙏
He hides. Antoine dufour, Mike Dawes and most of the the percussive guitar artists don't want to share their techniques...there's only two artist who share their art .one is Andy McKee and mostly Calum graham..Calum graham few years back used to share his composition tutorial for free but now he charges for those videos and it's fair enough..atleast he teaches us...other artists don't do that at all.
I can play a piece off tabliture a hundred times and still barely remember a bar, but learning a song this way I learn it almost immediately and remember it forever.
Love that description of filling the room “with sonic joy and happiness”
This was marvelous Mike, I like incorporating classical Indian musical phrases into my compositions and your method of showing how to take advantage of DADGAD will prove to be invaluable 😊
When I see Mike Dawes I just click!
Greetings from my home in Scottsdale, Arizona. FANTASTIC lesson, you just opened a whole new world. I’ve always heard of DADGAD but never gave it a go. What I missed!

Anyone doing some Sunday practicing today?
Every day.
Mike “in dadgad It’s hard to sound crap” meanwhile me sounding crap
You're in Bristol!!!!! When do you have shows?
Can someone tell me what guitar to buy for 1000 and under to get a decent sounding guitar for this kind of style playing please??
Sounds kind of Bensusan-esque...
Beautiful guitar, is it a bespoke model please?
Yes, it's a Cuntz CWG23s+ Mike Dawes Model guitar
Mike: instaead of remindine everybody evey 30 seconds that you had a capo, why did you not simply take it off?
Because
I guess it is the right answer....
i enjoyed the class even with the capo 😉
Yes I've always wondered why the capo Mike. Is it cos the tune sounds better there. Why the 2cnd fret. Why was here comes the sun at the 7th fret. Is it just cos it sounds good and that's what the player feels like or is there a particular reason
