    All the sounds you hear on this song are produced by one guitar, played live by one person. Additional effects (Reverb Spike, Octave, Wah, Delay) produced by the guitar pedals on the floor.
    Mike Dawes uses the Dimarzio Black Angel magnetic pickup and Ernie Ball Aluminium Bronze strings.
    "Overload is based on a jam I came up with in the bathroom of the Blue Note in New York (great reverb by the way!) The tune stemmed from this rhythmic hook and followed me all over the world. It ultimately ended up being composed entirely on the road.
    Overload is about the chaos of urban life, travelling, digital media, all the distractions that keep you away from yourself, and time to breathe within your own space. It can all get a little much sometimes."

    I think I just figured out what separates Mike Dawes from the common herd of modern fingerstylists, and makes his music so ravishingly, insanely appealing: It's his masterful control of dynamics and time.
    There's none of that irritatingly repetitious "bum-thwack, bum-thwack" percussive rhythm stuff that so many of the other guys get stuck on. Mike's compositions are incredibly deft and lively, with mind bending syncopation, and polyrhythmic juju, like an incredibly athletic dance routine, and surprising and joyful twists and turns that you weren't expecting, but are perfectly in the pocket- that just grabs you from the first note and carries you all along, breathless, until the final, perfect explanation point at the end.
    Mike is ALWAYS startlingly original, fun, and amazing. Very few (if any) of the others can pull it off the way Mike does, with such effortless timing and deftness of technique...

      Stephen Sheriff You ever consider writing song lyrics? The way you wrote that flowed marvelously!

    • @stephen3073
      @stephen3073 7 лет назад +6

      Thanks, Sal- I've written lots of songs, and played the guitar for forty-some years- but I haven't a tenth of the talent or ability of Mike Dawes. I'm content to noodle in obscurity, and spend my time building guitars. Again, Mike is an inspiration: could I build a guitar good enough to put into Mike's hands? I've made over a hundred acoustics, many of them pretty damn fine- but I still have some woodsheddin' to do, to catch up with Mike...

    • @saikat93ify
      @saikat93ify 7 лет назад +2

      Stephen Sheriff Do you have any recommendations of good finger style guitarists ? I have just started getting into the genre. At present, I like Sungha Jung, Gabriella Quevedo, Gareth Evans. Now, I've started to discover other people like paddy Sun, Mike Dawes, Andy McKee, Calum Graham, Luca Stricagnoli, Antoine Deflour. I found all these people in the last few days. Lol.

    This is great. I love acoustic music and started playing stuff like Michael Hedges and Pierre Bensusan in my uni days back in the late 90s. I got bored very quickly though because most people's stuff is very repetitive and, to me, unimaginative. "okay here's my riff, I'm going to play this for 3mins, you're impressed, right?". This is a breath of fresh air. great stuff. glad to have found you, thanks RUclips.

    I have played guitar longer than you have lived, Mike - and l honestly say that l never seen/heard a better fingerstyle guitarist that you. Yes, you have Antoine, Andy, Calum, Don who is insainly good - but you bring the whole percussion/flow/technical mastering to another level. Amazing.

  • @JumboDubby
    @JumboDubby 7 лет назад

    After falling in and out of love with CandyRat, Mike Dawes is still amazing. Where many of his contemporary slap-tapping fingerstylists drone on, Mike keeps up with the technical virtuosity but also makes beautiful music. A trio could play this song and it would still be great.

  • @demetriusmota9613
