    Hey, I've been playing for about 10 years, including plenty of setbacks (injuries)
    Re practice, not that often, only when I have time and I'm enthusiastic about learning something new. I don't sit down and noodle very often, quality of practice over quantity really :)

      Mike, I couldn't find any info about how you managed to recover from your tendinitis, and then stay healthy. A post about that would be very welcome. Many of us are injured and stories like yours help us keep going in optimism. Thank you for everything!

    @kapooktu Hey thanks for the comment. I took out the ES system and replaced it with an LR Baggs Dual Source. It's a great system, really resistant to feedback. This sound is a combination of the two condensers in shot and the dual source.

  • @mikedawesofficial
    @mikedawesofficial  13 років тому +1

    @rodron666 Hello thanks for the comment
    It is just a piece of spruce wood. It's nothing special, but when it is attacked by the fingernails the softer surface gets worn down to reveal the hard grain. This creates a surface similar to that of a guiro. Throughout this track you can see me running my nails over it to create that effect. It is simply a piece of wood glued to the body.
    Hope this helps!

Seriously though, I love listening to these vids and they're often playing in playlists I create for background music during social events I host; absolutely amazing, Mike! Maybe do a vid of your journey from zero to hero so that others can be inspired to try the same path that got you to where you are today? E.g. how often you practice, how do you 'explore', your go-to places when you were learning your playing styles, etc.)

    You're up there with Al Dimeola,Steve Vai,Allan Holdsworth,Edward Van Halen and possibly Jeff Watson of Night Ranger ! The only thing I can offer is that Jeff uses an eight finger tapping technique of notes on the same string or independently tapping notes with 4 fingers on different strings. It almost sounds like the succession of notes arpegiatted on a flute or some other woodwind instrument.Either way your exceptionally skilled ,Maestro ! Take care and continued success ! ; . )
