This beautiful piano is exactly 100 years old and has never ever been recorded 😳 It was fun to track a few spontaneous vibey lines yesterday with @getrealaudio for another new fingerstyle song. The piano was a little out of tune and covered in dust, but in our digitally perfect world it’s nice to play something real. Something with a story. Don’t you think? ❤️🎹 #studio #album #piano #guitar #acousticguitar #fingerstyle #fingerstyleguitar #fingerstyleguitarcover
Bromantic night in with my favourite @ricktoone guitar and #gumboblues 🥃 It was a pleasure to contribute to this wicked new Dr John collection alongside some of my favourites from the blues guitar realm. I contributed to Shoo Ra, originally from 1977. This guitar sounds so good twinned with the @neuraldsp plugins ( @plini archetype) for vintage blues tones and aesthetic. It’s probably blues blasphemy to say that, but zero vintage gear was used in the session. A testament to the quality and diversity of the tech. Thanks to @cleopatrarecords for having me contribute 🥃 #drjohn #bluesguitar #improvisation #diversification #guitar #ricktoone #neuraldsp #electricguitar @illustratebristol 🕯🕯
Did you know that buying one album on Bandcamp brings in the same income as about 1000 days of streaming 🥺 Good that it’s #bandcampfriday 🥰
@bandcamp are waiving their fees today which is pretty cool if you were waiting to pick up my discography of acoustical recordings ☺️ Head to the link in my bio/story/comments for info on savings and the highest quality uncompressed audio that’s available ✊ Have a great weekend!

NEW GUITAR. It was a fun day of firsts yesterday. The first ever session recorded in my long time engineer’s new studio in a literal castle! @getrealaudio is THE man. We recorded a special duet that I can’t wait to share with you. Can you guess the other artist?
I took this opportunity to record my NEW @c_u_n_t_z_guitars_germany Koa model, and it sounded stunning. The special pickup system we designed works well and it has an increased clarity, volume and brightness over the Indian Rose, which was really useful for this particular arrangement. More info on Patreon soon!
I dare say I’m inspired again. For more info about picking up a guitar like this, message the page/email Andreas via his website. He does custom orders so even if you want a different string spacing/scale length etc, he can do it ❤️🥇
Btw the pink tape on the fretboard is me being a weirdo studio geek, sorry Andreas 😅🥳✌️

🇳🇱 NETHERLANDS 🇳🇱 I’m thrilled to announce some actual real life shows supporting the GOAT @tommyemmanuelcgp in Feb 2022 at some of my favourite European venues 🐐➡️ Tickets on sale NOW for Tilburg, Utrecht and Groningen on our websites. It would be a shame to go all that way for 3 shows though. Maybe there will be some other countries added too 🧐 #livemusic #happy #guitar #guitarist #tommyemmanuel #mikedawes #guitar #fingerstyleguitar #acousticguitar
That first gig back will feel like
We should totally record something one day @alexandrmisko 🎵🎸🍔 Any suggestions? #guitar #guitarist #acousticguitar #electricguitar #fingerstyleguitar #ardsguitarfestival

We all miss gigs right? I’ll be stopping by the awesome @joebonamassa live stream-a-thon in about 45 mins w/ @keepingthebluesalive ❤️ We are all raising money for musicians affected by #covid and the stream is looking EPIC 😍 @ericgalesband just crushed it and the artist list looks WILD. 35 artists all playing on Joe’s FB page. Pretty cool way to spend an afternoon/evening if you ask me 🍻 Check it out in my story and see you there! 💪 #keepingthebluesalive #joebonamassa #king #guitar #blues #acousticguitar
Projecting big love today to those who have been listening on @spotify this year. Sometimes with an inherently ‘visual’ style of instrumental guitar playing I worry that many of you may see the videos but stop short of hearing the album recordings that @getrealaudio and I work hard on. Humbled to see this stat, although you know that @bandcamp is the spot for the highest quality digital masters 😉🍻 About time for some more music don’t ya think? Don’t forget to hit ‘follow’ to catch the next drop 💫 #guitar #guitarist #music #spotify #acousticguitar #peacefulguitar #instrumentalpopcovers

SOUND ADVICE Episode 1. Hey kiddos, I’ve teamed up again with the wonderful folks at @daddarioandco to kick off their new lesson series #soundadvice 🎵📝 I spent a good 10 minutes going deep into arrangement tips over on their YT channel (link in their bio/my story for full video!) Future Sound Advice vids will feature the likes of @kakigram @manuel.gardner.fernandes @rabeaafro @rodrigoygabriela & more. Definitely worth following the page 🍻 Always a pleasure to talk guitar in the digital realm of my favourite string people. Enjoy 💫 #guitar #guitarlesson #daddario #daddarioxs #acousticguitar #guitarcover #guitarcovers #electricguitar
Anyone else familiar with @cameo ? I’ve been on there for a while but literally never posted about it (silly boy) 😬 It’s a really cool platform where I can send you a personalised video message. I’ve done a few recently for birthdays, anniversaries etc and it’s a lot of fun. Check out cameo.com for more info. You can even find @davidhasselhoff and @snoopdogg on there! #cameo #guitar #mikedawes #guitarist #video #acoustic #acousticguitar #myglassesarestilltapedup
Ok. Ok. Ok. Days have flown by as I’ve been in deep nerd meditation playing like a giddy child with the legitimately incredible @neuraldsp #quadcortex 👑 🇫🇮 I can’t imagine I’ll need much else for electric guitar rig-wise and I’m working hard on incorporating this mega-brain into my future touring acoustic rig. Watch this space ❤️ I’ll try and do a video sometime to show what this can do, for now I’ll share the nerdery with my patreon folks and convince them all to get one 🥇 Seriously folks, the hype is real! Thank you @darfuria @dougdarkglass for the lovely surprise on the back as well ❤️ PS, If you never learned the solo to Sweet Child O’ Mine you really have no excuse with this. It has THE most accurate @slash tone outside of 1987 or like, being Slash. Also EVH tones, omg. Love it. Really really love it 😍 #neuraldsp #guitar #guitarpedals #guitarist #electricguitar #ngd #newgearday #gear

@musiciswin asked me to ask the mighty knowledge fountain @prsguitars (Paul Reed Smith himself) one question. I hope I didn’t blow it. What would you have asked him? #guitar #prs #paulreedsmith #acoustic #acousticguitar
They’ve done it again 🥳 @daddarioandco have changed the acoustic game with the new XS strings. You might have seen a whole bunch of people posting about these because the buzz is real. My new strings for the studio and live. 100%. Better coating with basically no squeak but they have the same tension under the fingers as the Nickel Bronze strings I love to play live. It was a pleasure to be involved (in a very small way) with the development of these and I’m so happy they’ve finally hit the shelves. Something to note about these guys is that they really care about artist feedback, the development went through a lot of back and forth with musicians which is really cool. If you get a chance to check em out definitely post about them with what you think. The string community is strong ❤️ #daddario #newstringday #guitar #guitarist #acoustic #fingerstyleguitar #fingerstyle
When writing solo fingerstyle music it can be tempting to dive in too deep with the COUGH flashy stuff 💫 Composing with a looper is a really handy way of maintaining a sense of melody in a riff ❤️ Might turn this into a song 😅 Thoughts?
