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?

Hard work or talent? What’s most important?
One year ago today I played my last gig. It was a memorable night at the Lincoln Theater in Mt Vernon, WA w/ #internationalguitarnight ❤️ I don’t have a picture from that night, but here’s a suitcase in a hallway to represent limbo. Can’t wait to see faces and share stories with real humans again ❤️
Dead or alive, who would you love to share a stage with? #guitar #tommyemmanuel #goat

Live music and its crews, staff and performers will come roaring back later this year. Who are you looking forward to seeing in 2021?? ❤️ #guitar #livemusic #music #acoustic #electricguitar #acousticguitar

SEASON FINALE - it’s been a wild debut season of #mdhap - my new podcast with @tonewoodamp 🍻 Thanks for all the lovely subscribers and ratings, we can’t wait for season 2 and would love some guest ideas in the comments!
It felt like there was only one guest that would be appropriate for the season finale and I’m grateful we could get him on. Enjoy the mighty @tommyemmanuelcgp this week. This was such a fun conversation and a wonderful insight into the mind of a true legend of guitar. He even picked up the instrument and played a few times.
I was also able to include questions directly from my Patreon subscribers which Tommy answered, a model that will continue through the next season as the series grows, so be sure to check out the links in the bio to all episodes of the show, and the Patreon, and the discount on the fantastic @tonewoodamp 🍸
Enjoy the season finale, and thanks to @newtonfaulkner @plini @zeppelinbarnatra @finkmusic @kakigram @therealmckee @markperiphery @mrpeterhonore @jongomm and Tommy for joining the show 🙏
Have a great week folks, new music coming soon 🥂
