To see Mike Dawes get soooooo hyped about Tyler's bend/tap/bend thing during All along the Watchtower was the most wholesome thing. Absolutely made my day!
We need more podcasts for musicians like this. Every musician podcast now seems to just get in to stories of gigs or whatever else. No one hardly plays, jams, or gets in to the nerdy musical nitty gritty on music podcasts. Thank you for this. I hope you have more guest in this format.
Holy shit ... Mike mentioning Jon Gomm unlocked a core memory from like 20 years ago XD Jon Gomm, Hey Child. Guitar drifting, smooth solo, great vocals ... and then some random Joe Satriani inspired inspired shredding with the perfect amount of overdrive and effects. If you haven't heard it, or if its been over a decade like it was for myself, GO HAVE A LISTEN!!! Quite literally one of the best tunes ever written/played. Side note ... if you could get Jon Gomm in for an interview that would be amazing. Great content as always Tyler, thanks for keeping the guitar nerds entertained :)
Mike Dawes is so great to listen to, both musically and vocally. I love how he spends so much time on details. I listen to his songs at work all the time
Tyler, your talent has always been undeniable, but you can tell when you're interviewing someone that you have become very comfortable doing so. Glad that Mike had the time to spare and share with you. Take care!
Mike's 4 guitar pickups really add to the fullness of his sound. Especially the robust sound of his open chords. I am pleased to find that he is fully cognizant of the possible noise his complex setup can produce. Like the "zing" sound. In many interviews, the guitarists leave their voice microphone on while they play, so extra noises like the zing are more pronounced, but odd for those of us who are only familiar with just the internal pickups from their recordings.
Everyone needs to Google Mike's cover of "Someone I used to know". Absolutely mind blowing mastery of the acoustic guitar. The thousands of hours of practice it must have taken...
Saw mike daws when he was on tour with ichika (he also gave signed merch away!) felt like i was at a comedy show with an amazing guitar backing track. 11/10 would go again
oh my goodness. Dancing in a burning room was absolutely gorgeous. He is amazing. I do like to hear him playing with space due to playing with someone else. I think he enjoys it to, feeding off the other guy
ok at the beginning yall showed the funnest part of dicking around on guitars with your bros: "hey isnt that the same thing as this other song? lets play them both at the same time!"
A very quick and brief name drop of Michael Hedges. Funny how as I listened to Dawes explain some processes, and I instantly thought of Hedges - then he drops the name. Simply amazing that Hedges has been gone for 27 years, yet still has influence on today's most cutting edge and creative musicians. Hedges would have been 70 this year. He would be absolutely blown away with Dawes' improvements and ideas. Will definitely be checking out some Galactic Acid. Thanks Tyler ♥
Love MD. His playing and skills are on the next level. Love to see a collaboration with MD and Nathaniel Murphy from Chicago Music Exchange. Both awesome players.
@@weets69 I also love Nathaniel's playing, whether it's his fingerstyle covers or him playing with a group and shredding it up. He's just a really great player.
That last jam was the prettiest thing I’ve heard in a long time and I just listened to A Sad Cartoon by Loathe a little bit ago. Yall killed it, being able to play with someone else like that is the main goal and hearing people make stuff like that on the fly really motivates me
Excellent interview, thanks. Mike takes the acoustic guitar to a whole new and otherworldly level. Made me realize just how much more there is for me to learn. I feel like I've been sent back to kindergarten acoustic guitar class.
Saw him live with Tommy Emmanuel last year. Incredible night of guitar music. And a heck of a nice guy, got to talk for a few minutes at the merch table between sets. The live CD is great by the way.
I watch all your videos to the end and I’m so glad that I did again. You showed Hendrix. You showed most abundantly Vye in there era of whitesnake. I would be a miss if I didn’t recognize Satriani …. All hail Dawes!!!!!
Hey Tyler, please ensure you feature each one of your guests on these videos on your next album. I will make my album of the year as soon as it's released.
Its good to see your finally coming back from that beer bottle Tyler! Havent been the same since bit it appears were falling back into that music is win rhythm i love so much thank you sir!❤
If you have an acoustic guitar with a gloss finish, guitar percussion can eventually cause cracks in it (haven't cracked the wood yet though). Very fun to learn, but consider the risks depending on how you value the guitar's finish.
Yeah, he's great -- would love to hear some of his stuff on an electric though. If he's that amazing on acoustic, well, he has to be epic on an electric too.
Would it be possible to get Nick Johnston in your studio? Mike Dawes is so incredibly awesome, my jaw drops to the floor everytime I see him in a new video or old video for that matter. 🎸👍🤓🥓
