Hi I'm Mike Dawes, solo fingerstyle guitarist, session musician with Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues and more. I have done some things and have some awards that you can Google but as a Brit this all sounds a bit self congratulatory doesn't it? I've spent the past 8 years touring the planet and I'm excited to share some gear insights now that I have time off the road!

DISCLAIMER: I will only promote the use of an acoustic guitar product I actually use.

Your quickly becoming one of my most enjoyed video creators, Mike. The hand finger had me in stitches. And then a rocky montage! I needed a montage.

[mikedawesofficial]

Hope you enjoy the vid folks! Please do leave a like/comment and sub. Really helps out with the new algorithm. Off to edit a new music video next. Can't wait to unleash it...\m/

Picked up my guitar right away to play although it's 3 AM here. Gonna cover "that" riff.

[nathandiehl]

Humbled by your talent. Eager to learn from your experience. And able due to videos like these. You and your music are a gift, many thanks from a neighbor across the pond ✊🏻🌌🌅

[askhealthquestions]

I cannot believe you tap danced that stuff live, serious Kudos Mike.

[GER_]

Use that riff!!! Thanks Mike... From Chile...

[BryanOdeen]

I’ve been thinking of getting a looper for a while, as a live performance tool (mostly so I don’t get bored playing for people who are there to drink and not interact with me). I’ve not considered how I could use it as a composition tool. Thank you for the inspiration!

[cjlimusic]

Beautiful! Well done. 💜 Those mini-fingers though.... 🙈🙈

[yeahbuddy]

Absolutely use that melody in a song. It sounds amazing. Scrub yourself of that self doubt and build on that.

[sommervilleTRS]

Yeah you should turn that into a full song

[guitanimus]

Greetings Mike.
Thanks for your composing tips, very useful!!.

Cheers!!.

[fish]

here 3 years later realising cloud catcher was first played here 😮

[Hadiplaysmusic]

What a savage, this sounds so beautiful! 😍😍

[Langdon]

Great stuff, v useful, your video clinched it for me so bought one, though currently I'm about like the guy smacking the piano with his Les Paul copy as he goes down.

[ceruleansongbird]

Can you do a video for a pedalboard setup for the acoustic guitarists who want to setup a pedalboard?

[onlyguitar]

How lucky is the guitar to be played by mik

[mustafakaratas]

I swear don’t know how many times ı watched this video because of the intro.
I think it is called cloud catcher but couldn't find the full version. Does it exist?

[francescomanfredi]

Hi Mike I love your review but in particular your drop B tuning! I would love to learn the chords and fingerstyle loop you play, it would be perfect for a song of yours but also for a tutorial here on your channel that I just discovered! Thanks

[jordibernal]

Cool! This guy has the same guitar Eddie Van Der Meer does

[godzer]

the minifingers is so crazy but it's using by a genius
