Thanks for the love through the pandemic folks! Please do hit 'like' & comment below, it really helps with the algorithm stuff which means I ultimately make more music. If you subscribe and hit the bell I'll give you a real life in person sweaty post-show hug one day! x
I still come back often.. this song destroys the original by so much.. sadly I don't have an extra guitar to keep in tuning to practice it enough.. it always fades and never gets even near your level.. but wow its fun to play.. and listening to you play it is always super impressive 👏
ARE U KIDDING ME?? this is too much for me to handle Favorite acoustic artist playing a song of my favorite metal band? I seriously thought i was hallucinating AMAZING!
I have been listening to this for the past 2 years and I only listened to the original periphery song just now. Now I realise how genius of an arrangement this is. Absolutely mind blowing
Dude thats sick! I know I’m a bit late but congrats to your brother and wife. Did they know it was periphery or were you playing it because they thought it sounded nice? Either way that still cool af
I don't often comment here on youtube, but I felt I owe it to ya. Been playing guitar about 30 years now. My first inspiration was Micheal Hedges, then it became Andy McKee, later Erik Mongrain...you my friend are the reason I am still inspired to play the instrument. You are a outstanding musician and I hope you realize how much you inspire many people. thank you soo much Mike.
Hey everyone, pre orders for ERA are now live! I'm giving away a free track to anyone who pre orders digital or physical from mikedawes.com (excluding Japan and South Korea, label reasons) I can't wait for you to hear this record! ‘I absolutely adore this record’ - Total Guitar (UK) ‘A terrific album!’ - Guitar World (US) ‘It’s a masterpiece, wow’ - Guitare Seche Mag (France)
Yes, It is amazing how different some covers sound than the original. This one is beautiful. I remember my aunt saying, when she was about 80, many years ago, that she thought that the reason she didn't like the rock music of the time had nothing to do with the music, but the instruments and the way they were played. Actually a pretty perceptive observation, when I think back to that statement, listening to covers like this. But then, she was still sharp as an unused hypo needle...the kind of person that said on Tues, May 14th, in 193X such and such happened, in detail. I can rarely remember what I had for breakfast THIS morning. Thx.
I still feel shocked when i think that how we all have evolved with time and we created some beautiful tools to entertain ourself for our amazing senses given by nature to us.And how someone enters this world and changes the world around us.....Thank you mate for creating more possibilities on a single tool.
Ever since the song came out I wondered why I was so in love with the electric guitar part and you helped me see why….because it’s all around unbelievably amazing.
Everything is excelent but… 3:00 making goosebumps… absolutely incredible tones going through the body and youre smiling, enjoying these wonderful part… im speechless… Love it❤
I have seriously listened to this probably 5 times in a row now. Taking my favorite song ever and bringing it to a whole different territory. I absolutely love it!
Wow! Ok now! A new frontier on how we percieve acoustic guitar. How deep and complex and flawless and and the tremelo the bending the picking the cleaness of it all! Just everything I wish I could do! And the imagination! So here there zig and zag and melody and crispness. Just the totality of it all! The recording is so fantastic. I did'nt think that when I clicked on to see this vid. I would be this impressed! And I'm a guitarist!
This is so damn beautiful. The more I listen to this young man, the more enthralled I'm becoming. His tunes take me to a happy place. Thanks Mike Dawes.
Man.... Just incredible.. Beautiful arrangement, i love the original song and i love to play fingerstyle too.. And you came with this.. Beutiful work man. Keep doing this
I just saw one of your classes from Guitar World, so it was a must to checkout your music and I must say your compositions and covers are just too beautiful, you're a talented dude, Mike.
As a Huge Periphery fan,I found this to be so beautiful. I seriously have a tear in my eye. I've listened to that song hundreds of times and have never heard it in that light. Thank you so much.
Just shows you that this song is amazing in any context and goes to the writing power of Periphery!!!!!!! Beautifully played by the way. Everything about it is amazing!
I've been playing guitar for like 13 years, only electric. this video makes me want to sell all of my gear and pick up an acoustic and start learning how to fingerstyle
So I spent the last 5 nights tabbing this song out by ear. Feel free to check out the upload on my channel. Keep in mind that I did it by ear, so be gentle...
Thats just perfect, i cant describe the feeling that caused this interpretation of this song in me, i love periphery and now i love mike dawes too! Awesome job
Mike. You blow me away everytime, man! I must have listened to this 1,000 times today. You definitely have complete control over the guitar. Your future is bright!!! - fan for life
Ok this is only for people that can not only hear music 🎶 but feel it and you my friend is a perfect and rare example of how can a human transmit music trough and instrument in one of the incredible ways I had heard someone play guitar well done ✅ And people who dislike this video and him playing should get a hearing aid
The best part is when he's pulling those harmonics unnecessarily over the neck and smiling 'cause he knows he could do those normally. :D Loving everything about this cover.
Mr. Dawes, your skill is amazing, your work Increadible... this arrangements is so beautifully made... Thank you for being on RUclips.... I love You GodBlessYou
Metal is AMAZING, but this song is a great reflection as to where I came from in my guitar journey. Back to the basics, Stripping the distortion from the tunes, giving me the organic sound I love from an acoustic guitar. Reminds me why I need to buy another acoustic guitar. Great interpretation. Loved every second of it.
Perfect. Just perfect. This is even capable of singing, the original one with all the screams and high notes... nope. Would love this one to be on Spotify
New fan- this is my favorite MIke Dawes song (currently) Love that sound at 3:55 in. So glad to find all your uplifting music at a personally difficult time. Thank you

This is one of the most beautiful progressions I've ever heard
From one of the best bands out there :)
I played a version of this (acoustic) as my brother and his wife walked down the aisle at their wedding. Easily my favorite song of all time.

So light the sound, so clear. Very nice to hear.
Astonishing arrangement and playing, Mike!
Ever since the song came out I wondered why I was so in love with the electric guitar part and you helped me see why….because it’s all around unbelievably amazing.
3:03 Dear Lord have mercy. Great!
Got addicted to this song!!:-D
Wow.. So many nuances and intricacies. 10/10
I don't really think you have any comprehension of how much enjoyment you bring to so many of us. Always in awe.
Damn dude. Amazing job. Mark was correct in saying that you bring a totally different mood to the song. Bravo
Everything is excelent but… 3:00 making goosebumps… absolutely incredible tones going through the body and youre smiling, enjoying these wonderful part… im speechless… Love it❤
Astonishingly good playing.
Listening is becoming part of every day for me. Thank you.
Mike Dawes is amazing. His live show in Riga was very inspiring, too.
Next arrangement, Six degrees of inner turbulence, the whole song.
+JimJamBanx Oh dear
YESSSS
Joshua Connor
And then Transatlantic - The Whirlwind
mikedawesofficial at least do the Glass Prison! Make Petrucci as proud as Misha 😉 amazing cover btw. 💚
Mike... what an incredible tone. There is so much emotion the arrangement and in your playing.
This is the first version of this song i've ever heard and it is awesome!
Haunting. The original and this version-execution is perfect. Haunting.
A new favorite. Thank you for such amazing music!
This is absolutely amazing. I haven't been this blown away by an acoustic guitarist since Andy Mckee.
Who’s here after seeing this in London at the Roundhouse with Periphery!! This was amazing!
🙋♂️
I have seriously listened to this probably 5 times in a row now. Taking my favorite song ever and bringing it to a whole different territory. I absolutely love it!
Love Periphery anyway. But THIS, this is fucking amazing. I could jam this and this only for the rest of my life and be happy.
Wow! Ok now! A new frontier on how we percieve acoustic guitar. How deep and complex and flawless and and the tremelo the bending the picking the cleaness of it all!

I'm just curious if any non-metal fans listened to the original by Periphery and enjoyed it
The original by haunted shore*
@@robmacgregor2451 Haunted shore is misha and mark anyways...
Yo
I checked it out after. Couldn't stand it lol but then again, not a metal fan
nick duggan please tell me you watched the music video with the ketchup/mustard war
This is so damn beautiful. The more I listen to this young man, the more enthralled I'm becoming. His tunes take me to a happy place. Thanks Mike Dawes.
I never thought it could be done, but my god you did it to 11.
Those two last chords! So goooood. Ufff
Man.... Just incredible.. Beautiful arrangement, i love the original song and i love to play fingerstyle too.. And you came with this.. Beutiful work man. Keep doing this
Never too late to discover a beautiful song such as this. Brilliant arrangement, restrained but so evocative, technical mastery.
I just saw one of your classes from Guitar World, so it was a must to checkout your music and I must say your compositions and covers are just too beautiful, you're a talented dude, Mike.
As a Huge Periphery fan,I found this to be so beautiful. I seriously have a tear in my eye. I've listened to that song hundreds of times and have never heard it in that light. Thank you so much.
Amazing! Mile Zero would work great in this style as well.
Mile Zero, A Black Minute, Muramasa, Stranger Things.... There are so many Periphery jams that could be done a justice
Just shows you that this song is amazing in any context and goes to the writing power of Periphery!!!!!!! Beautifully played by the way. Everything about it is amazing!
Wonderful job Mike!
Hey
It's Levi Clay somewhere else on the internet
Great to see you
Anazing guitar technique and sensitivity...my respects from Bolivia.
Wow, I just experienced something that will one day be a world record for the most amazing guitar arrangement!! :D
R u going to try this arrangement out Lanvy??
Mike is a stunning percussive acoustic guitarist and the future of acoustic music.
Mike you should use your loop pedal more often! That part was just stunningly beautiful :D
Amazing. My favourite solo guitarist covering a song by my favourite band. This is just perfection
SOOO MANY REASONNNS
*PUNISHMENT*
Did you ever entertain the taste of the red?
Pretty sure I've just heard the sweetest tune of my life. . .
I've been playing guitar for like 13 years, only electric.
this video makes me want to sell all of my gear and pick up an acoustic and start learning how to fingerstyle
ggwp do both wtf. A guitar is a guitar
He used to be a electric Guitarist. His Les Paul broke one day and he took lap tapping and then acoustic and he is now worlds best
So elegant so clean so great.
Sorry Mark Holcumb
But now I listen to this more than the original.
Aryan Kulshreshtha i think mark would be okay with that, he thinks its amazing too!
I really do enjoy watching real artists. Thx for being
So I spent the last 5 nights tabbing this song out by ear. Feel free to check out the upload on my channel. Keep in mind that I did it by ear, so be gentle...

I've watched this so many times and seeing the title change confused me so much.
Still love it just as much though
Who puts thumbs down to anything MD does? He is a genius. Everything is bliss.
I wish the riff at the 3:00 min mark would go on forever...
You and me both.
I have had the pleasure of meeting Mike twice while he toured with Justin Hayward. He was great!! A really nice guy!!
I WANT A TAB NOW!!!!!
Love these covers. Really exposes the melody and all of its beauty.
Ok this is only for people that can not only hear music 🎶 but feel it and you my friend is a perfect and rare example of how can a human transmit music trough and instrument in one of the incredible ways I had heard someone play guitar well done ✅
And people who dislike this video and him playing should get a hearing aid

Not periphery should cover a mike dawes song haha
They ain't got enough band members to play everything he does on the guitar.
Mr. Dawes, your skill is amazing, your work Increadible...

That solo section tho... bout to make tears come out my face!
4:48 contortionist vibes

Of all things
Loooove the new contortionist stuff. Also, I still jam exoplanet because the story is fucking epic and so well written.
Metal is AMAZING, but this song is a great reflection as to where I came from in my guitar journey.
