I'd never heard of this guy - now I'll never forget him. You do so much for us Rick - bless you man.

“Respect the crew all the time”. Truer words never said concerning live music.

Brother Beato, so many who call themselves "interviewers" could go to college on this one clip. You honored your guest with great questions then silence while he answered. You were respectful, you listened. Even though it's your show you kept yourself in the background. Your musicianship is extraordinary - now I see so is your humility and humanity. SO well done!!

[nitevisionimages]

Rick Beato is simply the best at this. Giving amazing artists a platform to openly discuss their talent in a different way because Rick's understanding is on their level we as the audience get an insight into the 'backroom' talk of actual musicians. I love these interviews. Artists talk differently to Rick. You can hear they truly respect him and the audience benefits from being a part of this space.

Since MTV failed, your YouTube channel is the best platform where people can watch the world's most talented musicians share their stories, perspectives, etc.

Mike Dawes is the real deal. Great that you had him on your show.

When Mike plays I always think of the nature. Its like walking in a beautiful forrest and listening to the animals while a river float by and the wind makes sounds in the leaves. He is the only artist that makes me feel like this. His taste is so fluid, organic and relaxing.

[DeepintheWood_Folk-and-More]

This is art..., This is a genuine artist..., This is what a great human being looks like! Simple, humble, genius...!

[STBonaccorsi]

Thank you Rick for showcasing Mike. I listened to him and just kept shaking my head saying ... "Wow". Beautiful, mesmerizing playing. What a treasure he is.

[alessandrorossini]

What a precious human being... he's carrying the torch of genuinity, of things done by heart, mind, hands, lot of commitment, lot of love, lot of beauty and... that beautifully touching music, soothing, profound, inspiring... thank you so much Mike and Rick. ❤️

Mike is the epitome of a true artist and genuinely kind and humble human being. In the musical desert in which we find ourselves these days, his brilliance is enough to quench the thirst of all lovers of music and originality.

[brucecampbellx]

Mike Dawes is a melodic genius. The dynamics are out of this world.

[SpunktAlex]

Mike is not only one of the top acoustic players of all time - he's just an awesome dude you'd like to drink a beer with. Or 2. And then cry because you gave him your acoustic guitar to play and he plays stuff you wouldn't even imagine.

[markkarpinski]

Whenever I hear Mike play, it makes me reminisce about seeing Michael Hedges multiple times before he passed. I like the feeling that his style has lived on and the torch is in capable hands. That’s the highest compliment I can give.

[slanesimpson]

This was a huge interview because the interest that Mike brings to his sound. He is so creative and his skill is amazing for beautiful music. Thank you Rick for your video’s I am a huge fan.

[ericvinson]

That Euclid performance was my favorite of the bunch - so much emotion and yeah listening w/ high quality headphones/earbuds is a must. Pure ear candy!

[johnjperricone]

Moved to tears. Some of the most beautiful guitar work I have ever heard, by a mile.

[mbaraka]

A true virtuoso, but also a super funny and extremely humble human. So warm. At his concert where he himself sold and signed his merch, there was a girl in the line, so he just gave her the CD she wanted from his personal stock and told her to just listen to it and save the money for a musical instrument to play.

[tesdrenga]

Mike: *displays virtuosity*
Mike: "You wanna go?"
Rick: "No ... "
we feel you rick, we feel you 😂

[psionic]

Mike, you are actually the first guitarist in 35 years who makes me cry whenever i listen to you. I don't know how your brain works man, but every note feels just right. It just flows...amazing talent.
