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!
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!
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.
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
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
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
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!🕶
@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.
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....
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.
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.
and then guthama?.. come on.. tell us about it...then you would... practice...aaaaand..PLAY IT??? ridiculous to ask for tabs buddy...this is waaaaay beyond your, mine and nearly the rest of the world's abilities....so just FORGET IT BRO!😉
Man I wish Stevie could see this.
Savage bro
gairsandGod You don't thing God has a TH-cam account? He's like, "Stevie, you gotta see this" and shows him this vid on his GPhone 7 plus.
David D Stevie ain't dead dude. That said God probably still did what you said
I think hearing it is more important
So does he
They're going to have to start making tabs 3D because of Mike Dawes...
Richard Tolbert 🤣🤣🤣😎
Visit GuitarSteam for true 3D tabs! We're waiting for all of you there!!! Come on! :D
Or in Braille.
That is the best comment ever!!
Come on Richard Tolbert 🤣
Hey everyone, the new video for 'Overload' is now on my TH-cam channel. Enjoy!
You're an inspiration man. There's a special feel in your sound. Always great to listen and learn something new.
Thank you.
Does your guitar have a baritone scale? Looks long, but maybe I'm just trippin'.
When your whole band has phoned in sick but you're Mike Dawes so it's not a problem.
This is genuinly awesome !
I was mad with the world 5 minutes ago; I'm happy again this is pure talent.
If we ever send someone to mars to represent earth,mike is the man with tommy Emanuel flying the rocket 🚀
This is some gorgeous megga talented dude., how does he do it,?
Im just mesmerised !!!!
Much love❤
How could that be anymore perfect.
David Wilcox Oh well now.... 🤔 I think i have to go do confession father! 🤣
Mike Dawes rocks.
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?
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.
I saw him live last night. He's a fascinating and nice young man. An amazing talent!
jaw dropping talent...thanks for sharing
Great use of looper, ideas galore popping out of his playing. Really damn good
Wow! Jaw dropping use of the instrument
I never get tired of watching this. Mike Dawes you're the man
I believe im around here for 8 years like you. Are you still here?
@@karolmuskala oh yea!
I can listen or watch this for hours on end. He can play one song for the whole show and I wouldn't care!
The most talented guitarist I’ve seen or heard

Mike has the funk down!
Wow! Saw Michael Hedges a gazillion years ago ....loved him...such a talent lost too soon. THIS guy is like his spirit-child. BRAVO!
Awesome ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Mike’s gotta tour the US more! This guy is crazy.
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%
At his level. I think the devil would sell his own soul to Mike! :)
wooooo excelent musical interpretation!!
Wow, move over Michael Hedges! Beautiful my brother, thanks for your gift of music to us.
Thank you
just absolutely brilliant
Awesome!
OUTSTANDING. REALLY IMPRESSIVE!

I misplaced come from the depths
Not grim
This man is INSANE.
On Time !...........Nice.

Incredible
Magician!
great tune, awesome performance! thanx for sharing!
Beautiful. Grazie. 🎉
Wow, this guy is on another level ..... many be 2.
Bad ass! Sorta like SIC! Awesome talent. 🎸🎶🎻
Never underestimate the power of a loop pedal in the hands of a talented dude.
He's not looping.
he is looping when he starts the bass line dude
He really isn't. I've seen him explain and demonstrate how he does it. NO loops.
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

Dear beloved Eric Roche you are recorded in our history in our mind. We MISS U
I am fascinated with your playing! I would love to hear you do this with a professional vocalist!
1Greydad Any vocalist would spoil this because sadly, they open their mouth.
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 😁
Who could dislike this video, my goodness, amazing talent!
People who are jealous they can't do this
Un génie!
crazy performance loved it ... Feel Free !!! ;)
whatha vibe!!!
brilliant music
Outstanding originality.
Now this is talent... you have to enjoy a artist with this attitude and creativity in his music .. love it ...
From the soul!
Omg, i want him!
Magnifique version!
Mike, you are always amazingly original!! Brilliant!!!!
Loved every minute of it!!
Got so lost in this performance that i was applauding at the end like i was in the audience!
damn it. In my next life, when I am 3 years old, I will wish for the first guitar and practice every day.
Love the style, it's the same way I play..Heart, soul, and Body.
I am not sure if this erformance inspires me, or makes me giving up all my efforts!
haha best comment
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!🕶
Anythings possible with enough practice and vision
@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.
Yeah, mate, I thought the same ))) Visit our GuitarSteam website! We collect affordable fingerstyle pieces there. Just come and play )
mind blowing! He loves music.
I saw Stevie Wonder live in the mid 80s -- this versionis amazing. Wow.
There's no limit of what you can do with that guitar -referring to Mike Dawes-awesome!
you're a genius man
Amazing Mike !
Sublime display of percussive elements. Mike dawes is in a league of its own!!
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....
Serious SKILLS!
Wowwwwwww excelente que sincronización de tapin y arpegios wowww2
Whoooooooo!!!
wow.. it's very enjoyable
So talented
Oooh this is fenomenal bravo maestro!!!
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.
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.
THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR VIDEO (MEMORYSTAR)
one man band love it
Smooth
4:31 - 4:36 sounds like a nice tribute to Spare Change by Michael Hedges!
pixiecatneuter
Spot on, good ear!
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.
ooomy god, very nice feels mike, totally able and enjoyning : )
This is incredible! I'm going to play around with this later and see if I can put it together!
Did you? I bet you didn't.
I saw him open up for Justin Hayward in S. Orange. This guy is good!
Very cool, wish I could play like this

Groovy!

Excellent performance and what a beautiful voice. Very emotional dynamics. ❤👍

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