I believe if it were any other guitar on the face of this earth he was playing, you wouldn't be witnessing any of this. Who is to say where another man's love should be?

That really touched me. Your performance was beautiful and smooth and percussive and harmonical and ...... peaceful and soothing. You remind me of the late Michael Hedges, and there is no greater person to which I could compare you. You move in between the bends and arpeggiate in a manner which creates its own space that is pure and wonderful. I would go well out of my way and spend high dollars to see you perform in concert. I remember seeing Stanley Jordan 30 years ago, and he had a guitar on a stand where he could just walk up to it, and he started playing the bass and the walkup guitar, and I had to shake my head sadly, because I knew that I could never aspire to that level of excellence.

What u have illustrated to me in a more refined manner than my life's experience so far understands with the sheer range a master of the guitar can perform on a single instrument - there are sounds that differ and originate from differing components of the device - and so each section of it can be performed on its own, and that makes distinctive sounds. Your natural orientation to this can be refined, not unlike a conductor, to put together a team of guitar genius that can play each section in a symphony of guitar magic like u display.

Mike is one of only a few musicians that were able to carry on from where Michael Hedges started and develop a style of their own, even beyond what Michael achieved.

At first I thought he was using a Looper then quickly realized it was just him, a guitar and Capo. What an incredible performance. Ok, I'm off to practice my lowly A Minor Pentatonic box prison.

I've played guitar for 40+ years, and I stink at it. The more I learn about the guitar, the more I realize how much I don't know. Mike Dawes & Tommy Emmanuel drive home that point. They're in a dimension of musical providence that most every other guitarist alive today can only dream of. And I believe they've just scratched the surface of the infinite creative possibilities of the guitar.

@jasperlambert 2 года назад

Incredible! This is the first time I've heard a showy/ tappy/percussiony guitar song that would be just as beautiful to listen to withought the flashy visuals and knowledge of how its being played.

@siege78 2 года назад

I was just scanning the comments to see if there were any Michael Hedges references LOL- I got to meet Hedges briefly back in the early 90's, I've never seen anyone play like he did before he hit the scene but have seen many videos of people playing similar to his style since. It makes me wonder if he was the innovator. Good to see another Hedges fan on here. And kudos to Mr Dawes for an excellent performance!

@RaymondPeckIII 2 года назад

Although Michael repeatedly cited the influences of Leo Kottke and Pierre Bensusan, nothing they did ever came close. In my opinion, he was sui generis. I'm not much of a believer in such things, but he was one of two people I've ever met that actually glowed.

One of the better Michael Hedges disciples. Gorgeous textural soundscapes like Hedges, but without the melodicism and organic pulse of Hedges' music. Just my opinion. Still great. I really don't mean to be critical. I love Mike Dawes's playing. Just that anyone who appreciates Dawes should also check out Michael Hedges, now long gone (RIP) but really originated this style of broadened sound capabilities and sound textures and percussive capabilities, with all the harmonics and hammering, etc. Plus, he occasionally sings with a great voice. His originality was just one of the most brilliant and masterful, with his guitar being a truly transparent medium to his musical ear. Here's a small sampling for those unfamiliar... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YaIN13aDbCc.html, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jN3439l4HR0.html, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8ulWPVb8t44.html, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5dVYXs_pryw.html.
