    In this episode of #TheDailyDoug, I'm reacting to the unbelievable cover of Jump (Van Halen) by British Guitarist ‪@mikedawesofficial‬ . I was blown away by Mike's interpretation of this classic song...and by his act of gifting it to us all. I'm paying it forward by not monetizing this video. RIP Eddy!

    Watch him do this on Rick Beato’s channel. H discusses why he changes the string tuning then transcribes it into D. Gives him stronger bass notes and better chord inversions. Absolutely a master of his guitar. And his finger style gives it a whole different feel.

    Mike Dawes is very well known among Moody Blues/Justin Hayward fans. We've been blown away by his playing since he started touring with Justin several years ago. The guy is phenomenal!! I've been fortunate enough to see him live on 12 occasions and he just gets better and better. Thank you so much for sharing this, Doug. I'm so glad you featured it because Mike deserves to have a much wider audience. He's done solo albums that are well worth hearing and buying too!

    Edward had that ability like all great composers to make music that sounds both simple and elegant, and then you go to learn how to play it, and you realize how much stuff is going on in there. It's alchemy. Lots of love for Mike and this style of guitar playing too, and his tone is gorgeous. Clearly I need to find more time to play, these younger guitarists are amazing. Thanks for the video.

    Doug during that listen through, especially in the second half, you look like a kid discovering rock and roll for the first time and just in awe. The ability of music to elicit such joyus and giddy emotions in people is an incredible and invaluable quality. I have no doubt that your genuine enthusiasm and energy will be infectious, leading many who watch to perhaps delve into Van Halen for the first time, or to discover Mike Dawes' excellent music.
    Keep up the hard work and the sincere, genuine love of music and the power it has!

    Heard this when it was released, and it really is the ultimate tribute. So warm, such a celebration in his own words(so to speak), and even more fitting given Eddie's love of tone. It is an exultation of the man's life and contribution to music. Mike did a great job.

    I cry every single time I hear this arrangement. So wonderfully played. At 65, Mike has really inspired me to work hard at my fingerstyle. I've been away from the guitar for 40 years. I recently purchased an acoustic 12 string and an acoustic electric 6 string along with a practice amp and some pedals... SO much to learn, so little time...

    When Mike put this performance up as a tribute shortly after Eddie Van Halen passed, it was my favorite tribute. His son Wolfgang released a song with a video montage that made me tear up for different reasons, but it was Mike Dawes Jump tribute that made cry smiling, because you have an acoustic player who's genre is so very different showing the reach of the influence through this incredible arrangement.

      Elle403 After watching a few more videos l kind of agree with you. He does use the whole of the guitar front back sides of the body, many fret techniques, under neck sounds and I've noticed some Spanish styles incorporated as well as advanced playing position and techniques. He did play with Tommy Emmanuel a while ago so l will look at that later.
