I just love all those new original songs from Mike’s second album, I can hear Michael Hedges and Erik Mongrain influences in here, but it still sounds very unique. Mike is not only a great guitarist, but first of all he is an outstanding composer and it’s a privilege to follow his progress and enjoy the music. I would love to hear this song played live!
This is really nice mate. Super Hedges vibes which I haven't gotten from you before so strongly. But very much in your musical world, it seems a bit metal even. Love the major/minor transitions, they make a big deep pool to dive into and find meanings and pictures. Really just so good. Thanks. And now you've mastered the use of a pick, you're probably ready take on Wonderwall.
Love ya mate. Thanks. Yeah it all came from that vibe. The sound of a strummed guitar with a great reverb has always been so powerful. That Hedges sound always resonated more with me than the arguably more popular stuff (in the guitar world anyway) Also John Petrucci gave me that pick in Budapest so it has special powers. Beard powers. Equal to or greater than Wonderwall powers.
@@mikedawesofficial John Petrucci? Can we get a fingerstyle cover of Glasgow Kiss sometime soon? ;D By a wide margin that song has one of my favorite riffs of all time. Love your music, man, keep up the phenomenal work.
Alright now. I've listened to this song enough now to have made up my mind. Not about loving it; I do, very much. But here's my humble request: Please make an album of lullabies for adults. lol This bpm & and this type of melody are perfect for chilling at the end of the day. This song in particular makes me feel peaceful, a bit sleepy, and softly blissful. New album from Mike Dawes: Go to Sleep, You Bastards! \m/ :D
When I get another guitar, I'm going to master this song. For over twenty years as a self taught Guitar Artist, I will never give up; I will keep and preserve the guitar art; I will make history.
Not too many people deserve to be watched as much as this man. I nearly put this on as background music and worked... Luckily I decided to full-screen it and go 1080p with headphones. Like a private concert! Thanks Mike :)
The amount of reverb on there was absolutely beautiful and could not have resonated with me more my man. I was feeling pretty down in the dumps today but this great song made me feel a bit better. I hope you a good one Mike!
Man.. all the subtle dynamic changes with the pick even how tightly you're holding it, so so awesome. Awesome harmonies going on there too, a pleasure sir.
This has to be my absolute favourite of all the songs you’ve ever made. You’re the one along with Petteri Sariola to inspire me learning to play in the way you guys do. I’ve got long way to go, but videos like this keep me going. Thank you Mike for being a huge inspiration and such a great player and composer. The video is equally awesome, as they always have been!
The composition was breathtaking, to begin with...and this performance is such a flow of bliss and pure energy! It reaches right into the soul and generates peace in our noisy, chaotic world. Mike, you are incredible! I can only wonder what you will do next?
Ive waited so long to see this song come out live, even just recorded on someones phone or something. To open up youtube and see youve done a proper video for it just totally made my week. Such a beautiful song, it took me a while to reach track 2 on Era and get past encomium... the chord progression is so deep and hits me every single time. Thank you mike
The song is absolutely fabulous, Mike and so peaceful. I'll never be 1/1000th as good a guitarist as you are but you inspired me today. I have a number of guitars but my Tanglewood acoustic guitar has sat unplayed (on its wall hook) for ages. Took it down, cleaned it and sorted out the neck/truss rod + lowered the bridge. Ordered new strings + finger slides and I'm going to teach myself slide guitar 🥰 You did that, Mike, by being an inspiration to so many (and to me). BTW the room with all the guitars on the wall is stunningly beautiful!
Hey Mike ..congrats from Brazil ...the old School fingerstyle guitar players like me.. was waiting for New way and you bring that for us..you are the New way ..thanks
Absolutely incredible! Very few guitarists are able to do for their instrument what you are doing. I can see it now!! Little boys and girls watching this, begging their moms and dads to buy them a guitar so they too can be this epic!!
The high frame rate shots are breathtaking, love the way those strings dance with the melody. It's amazing to sit back and think about how that happens every time someone is playing any stringed instrument, it's just that the vibrations are so fast that we never notice, good vibrations huh *da dun ch* :D
swore I was having a flashback until I realized it was the shutter speed...lol....Thanks for blessing my ears..and messing with my brain Mike. #Winning.
Fantastic melodies, amazing -non-"overloaded"- playing, beautiful video. The opening moves reminded me of Hendrix's playing. I feel privileged to have subscribed to your channel, thank you for the music my friend.
Sounds absolutely breathtaking. Literally. Had to take a deep sigh when the song ended, the first time I heard it. In my opinion, this is the best and most emotional video you've uploaded to date. Thank you!
I Love the way strummed strings get picked up by video... Looks amazing. I also love the wall covered in guitars, best wallpaper ever !! Another great track too Mike. I love watching you play and you've inspired me to add piezo's round the body of one of my guitars. Haven't got round to it yet, but I will :O) THANKYOU FOR SHARING YOUR TALENT.
Couldn't agree more about the balancing act of creativity and what the listener wants to hear. Because of this, I almost feel bad for pop musicians or any musicians "locked in" to producing a particular type of music.
This shit hit like tons of bricks.. thank universe i discover you with overload, there's so much energy in this song, it's like i can feel everything at the same time, but mostly the truth, thanks Mike for beeing you you are, hope the best for you and everyone for the future. Thanks buddy
Really enjoy your music. Just purchased your "all-in-bundle". Great value for those looking for your music and tabs. Looking forward to whatever you got coming next.
Crazy! Never heard anything as much inspiring as this one. The notes sequence is magic. My congrats man, you're actually one of the best artists all around the world. Keep on!

Ahhhhhh I love when my one favourite guitarist comments and give love on my other favourite guitarist video.
Cheers mate, see you soon if I can make it to London!
You bastard Misko.
You stole my talent
@@gretawilliams8799 actually, between Misko, Dawes and Gomm they stole pretty much all the talent...
Totally agree man

@@mikedawesofficial powers comparable to wonderboys?
....with MIND BULLETS
Just to sit here in between two amazing guitarists life compete
@@mikedawesofficial John Petrucci? Can we get a fingerstyle cover of Glasgow Kiss sometime soon? ;D
By a wide margin that song has one of my favorite riffs of all time. Love your music, man, keep up the phenomenal work.
With so much hate and uncertainty that is going on in this world right now, your talent and music puts me at peace.
Thank you for the serenity.
I love how mike has stayed faithful as hell to this guitar
Love the wobbling strings from the camera shutter speed, it really adds another layer on top of this fantastic composition!
do you know which shutter speed he used? looks so cool
@@qingli2165 most cameras film at 29.74 or 60 frames per second so it's probably one of those speeds
@@greysautumn398 cool...so....that's how its done... ty
Same
Dude, I felt this as if it was from heaven itself.
Same
It's something special. It's called TALENT.
Alright now. I've listened to this song enough now to have made up my mind. Not about loving it; I do, very much.

New album from Mike Dawes: Go to Sleep, You Bastards! \m/ :D
THIS IS REALLY THE MOST MELANCHOLIC FEELING SONG I'VE EVER LISTENED.
PROBABLY FOR ALL TIMES.
Nobody can be taught to have musical vision. Mike Dawes definitely has it.
It's 3am. Why does this gives me heart ache?
It's so good.
Think I've found my new favorite guitarist 🤘
So blissful.. an old fan since ages now... Never miss a song from my inspiration and a true legends.. an absolute wizard of guitar
Absolutely beautiful. I've never seen anyone play like that. Amazing.
Mike Dawes brushing his teeth in triplets at 100bpm to avoid going out of practice.
When I get another guitar, I'm going to master this song. For over twenty years as a self taught Guitar Artist, I will never give up; I will keep and preserve the guitar art; I will make history.
Mike Dawes to me is the best all around guitar master. It is so cool watching the strings bend and vibrate.
This is in my top 10 pieces of guitar instrumentals of all time. It is just so amazingly smooth and clean and almost tear jerkingly beautiful.
Underrated song definitely needs more views.
Not too many people deserve to be watched as much as this man. I nearly put this on as background music and worked... Luckily I decided to full-screen it and go 1080p with headphones. Like a private concert! Thanks Mike :)
1:01 wow
This is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.
The amount of reverb on there was absolutely beautiful and could not have resonated with me more my man. I was feeling pretty down in the dumps today but this great song made me feel a bit better. I hope you a good one Mike!
Thanks man. Reverb is the second instrument, that's why I wrote this with a Tonewood Amp (if it wasn't obvious ha)
Mike when you stopped playing, I bet you could hear all those picturesque guitars cry a little. Absolutely beautiful man! ❤
I wish I could hear you and Victor Wooten play. I would be gobsmacked. Just absolute excellence and beauty.
I listened to it hundreds of times and am not going to stop
Man.. all the subtle dynamic changes with the pick even how tightly you're holding it, so so awesome. Awesome harmonies going on there too, a pleasure sir.
Wonderful song mate :)
JustinGuitar Songs Cheers Justin
YES Mike!!! Beautiful
Quist Love!

that string vibration look freakin cool
No matter which year I come it will still be 💯 and one of the best Acoustic Guitar Songs ever written
This is the channel I wanted all my life, a channel filled with beautiful acoustic guitar songs
The composition was breathtaking, to begin with...and this performance is such a flow of bliss and pure energy! It reaches right into the soul and generates peace in our noisy, chaotic world. Mike, you are incredible! I can only wonder what you will do next?
Hard to stop listening to and watching this video...Incredible artistry!
Music from the Heart as Always! Thank You Mike! Love, Light, Peace and Music! DaveyJO in Pa.
Those guitar strings sound amazing. They really do help Mike play better. Have you ever heard him without them, I could hardly hear him.
A hauntingly beautiful song. I keep coming back to it and hear it when I am away.
Ive waited so long to see this song come out live, even just recorded on someones phone or something. To open up youtube and see youve done a proper video for it just totally made my week. Such a beautiful song, it took me a while to reach track 2 on Era and get past encomium... the chord progression is so deep and hits me every single time. Thank you mike
Depth of This Sound is Just So beautiful
That tone is incredible, greatly balanced, full of frequencies.... I'm amazed by your intonation skills Mike, you're just enormous guitar player!
The song is absolutely fabulous, Mike and so peaceful. I'll never be 1/1000th as good a guitarist as you are but you inspired me today.

Enchanting.
Soooooooo beautiful and soothing for ears and soul.
You, like Wooten, make your music and instrument come alive to speak to our souls...BRAVO 👏
Beautiful and peaceful.
This .. made me go from a place that wasn't meant for me back to where my dreams lived .. truly grateful for that 😌
So Beautiful! i visit often. Bravo Mike!
I love the way the strings dance.
It's a dream, all these guitars hanging on the wall !
Beautiful solo song.
This is inspiring, and beautiful. I need to take up the guitar again
Such a wonderul song Mike. So emotional. I love the sound you make.
There Is so much passion and soul in this beautiful song and your soul Is very good. Greetings from Udine. Italy. Congratulations for your music
One of my favourite things used to be playing guitar at night and the framerate of my monitor creating this effect on the strings.
Hey Mike ..congrats from Brazil ...the old School fingerstyle guitar players like me.. was waiting for New way and you bring that for us..you are the New way ..thanks
Having mastered guitar strings Mike decided to use spaghetti instead, to make it even a little challenging
It just hurts the fingers way less
@@mikedawesofficial 👏
Somebody toucha my
S P A G H E T
@@mikedawesofficial LOL
😂😂
This song is incredibly gorgeous.
I just love this song....listenning every night. Thanks Mike! 😊❤

Enchanting, dreamy, heavenly...thanks for euphoria !
Sweet cosmos . . WOW dude, feck i love guitar
Mike's song writing is growing in depth. Beautiful!
I love that super heavy main riff. Awesome!
Thank you Mike for this post. You made my day. Lost in the good vibe. Special thanks to Mr. Winter for the creative video as well. All the best.
Love the dancing strings🥰😁
Brilliantandly surreal...
Nice atmosphere. Can listen to this all day.
Sounds absolutely breathtaking. Literally. Had to take a deep sigh when the song ended, the first time I heard it. In my opinion, this is the best and most emotional video you've uploaded to date. Thank you!

Lovely tune. Reminds me of Pino Forasteire. "for you"
My all Time favourite acoustic tune
Couldn't agree more about the balancing act of creativity and what the listener wants to hear. Because of this, I almost feel bad for pop musicians or any musicians "locked in" to producing a particular type of music.
This is one of the many beautiful songs on your ERA album. You are a blessing in the music world, Mike.👏
This is exquisite, emotive art.....every bit of it. From the composition to the playing to the visuals. Thank you sir.
Mike, you are so gifted it's SCARY !!! hope you Play forever my brother..
Mike what more can I say other than another beautiful piece. You music always helps me calm my mind and focus when I work.
And my soul is made beautiful again. Thank You Mike
Absolutely beautiful, Mike!
So lyrical. Love it.
This shit hit like tons of bricks.. thank universe i discover you with overload, there's so much energy in this song, it's like i can feel everything at the same time, but mostly the truth, thanks Mike for beeing you you are, hope the best for you and everyone for the future. Thanks buddy
I have just noticed that you have published this on my birthday! After listening about 12 times...
What a gift. Thank you so much 🙏
Really enjoy your music. Just purchased your "all-in-bundle". Great value for those looking for your music and tabs. Looking forward to whatever you got coming next.
Just purchased the TAB's for this. I'll be back in 2-3 years once I've had a chance to practice. A lot....
Wow, so amazing
Dear Mike Dawes
I find this SOOO Melancholic,
It kills me myan
What the Fuckkk!!!!!
Wonderful! I think it's cool how you can see the strings vibrate in crazy patterns. Your use of harmonics is mesmerizing.
Why hadn't I heard your music before. This is beyond beautiful. Mad respect from Nepal. ♥️
Crazy! Never heard anything as much inspiring as this one. The notes sequence is magic.
My congrats man, you're actually one of the best artists all around the world.
Keep on!
that is so warm and beautiful
Great song.
I have been playing guitar for quite sometime now
I have never before heard anything like this!
Keep it up
Great work❤️❤️❤️
Words are not enough to express what I am feeling...
