You'll probably never see this, but I wanted you to tell you that I used this as my entrance song at my wedding for myself and my groomsmen. It was an amazing day, and this cover will always be special to me.
People need to understand the skill and the level that this guy is at. This is truly insane! The way of multitasking performed Here blew me away. 10/10 dog
@@FFLL2112 Agree it is beautifully but it's definitely not a super advance level look for Marcin Patrzalek, Luca Stricagnoli or Alexander Misko they are at other level
Thanks for another wonderful year everyone, I hope you all enjoyed the holidays and I'll see you out there in 2019. I can't wait to release more videos for you here. Make sure you subscribe to stay up to date
You guys RULE. Looks like Facebook is dominating the video game these days, glad you guys dig it. Plenty more to come, remember to like, comment, share, subscribe, all that good stuff. See you on the road!
mikedawesofficial hi Mike I know this is an older thread by now but your playing ability is phenomenal!! What effects pedal are you using to get your acoustic to sound like that at the end? It’s awesome! Thanks for the great content! 🙏
Uploaded a year ago? Amazing skill here. 3.6 million views. That's up .6 mill from a few days ago when I first saw it. Keep it going! His other shit is great too. Very skilled.
Can you imagine what it must be like in his mind as he's playing this song? All the various levels of thought moving, dancing, coordinating? Staggering to even comprehend.
I have been playing guitar for 55 years. 4 years ago the intractable migraine I have made me quit playing and singing. Listening to and seeing Mike Dawes may get me to pick up one of my guitars again. Thank you, Mike! You're an inspiration. Love it!
@daniel hopwood I wish it were that simple. Instead, try between 30 and 40 concussions while serving in combat in the military. I've been working with a new neurologist, so there's new hope. Thank you for your concern!
@spiritman-em4qr Post-traumatic epilepsy is an extremely difficult challenge to deal with. Presumably, you're taking anti-convulsants? I've had a few good friends who faced seizure disorders and were on those meds. It wasn't at all easy for themselves or their families. I hope that you're handling the transition as well as possible. I'm thankful you shared your story, it's inspiring to know that you've taken the time to assist me. Kindness can seem elusive at times these days, so when people are kind to me I'm so grateful. Thank you very much.
Talent? I’ve been playing guitar for 2 weeks and have already mastered this rendition, learning smoke on the water on just the g string was harder than this trash. Definitely a thumbs down for me.
Great to hit 1 million on YT as well folks. Thanks for the support! Hope to see some of you singing along to this on my UK tour in Feb/Mar 2018. Dates in description and tickets on sale now :)
I've been listening to Metallica since the mid 80s, have seen them live 10 times (and will see them again this year) and this gets a standing ovation from me. Bloody well done!
We gave our son and his fiance concert tickets to Tommy Emmanuel last night in Portland OR. Jan 2022. Mike Dawes opened. We now are aware of this amazing guitarist as well. They loved both artists. They appreciated such great talent. They also said Mike was a lot of fun and funny as well as a super talent. And so young!!!!
The part between 3:47 to 4:30 is one of the most impressive things I’ve ever heard in music. You can hear the original song there but it’s so much more ethereal and beautiful. I love that you found so much beauty in this extremely dark and nihilistic piece. This was great.
Never heard of this guy until it came up unannounced on my phone. Forget Britain's got talent and other so called talent shows; this guy knocks my socks off: there is no word to describe this talent.
That was phenomenal - just seeing this now. From another planet!!! Not only is it played very really well, but I can't imagine the amount of work it must have taken to arrange this! That's heavy lifting.
OH MY GOD I JUST GOT TO THE SOLO PART, MY JAW DROPPED. jesus christ i dont think ive been this amazed at something in a LONG damn time. Good work my dude, you're incredible. I dont know how you managed to play so many melodies (bass, guitar, vocals, and also drums at some parts) together. That takes some serious skill i cant't even imagine to comprehend, the coordination needed for that is seriously insane. I don't usually write comments but i had to share my thoughts after this blew my mind
That was the best RUclips video I have seen in a long time. The audio pre production was amazing. The lighting and camera work as well post production clean and brilliant. Not mentioning the talent. Amazing. I really really want to see James Hetfield's reaction, know him, which I don't. But knowing him through media... He would be blown away. Please reach out to him and get a reaction. You deserve to get this viral. If I had more than two thumbs I'd give them.
And here I am. Barely even to play first clean solo correctly. I've been playing for 9 years aha. This is my favorite band and this song is one of my top ten from them!!! YOU FUCKIN ROCKED IT! I'm crying it's so beautiful.
I can't remember anything Can't tell if this is true or dream Deep down inside I feel to scream This terrible silence stops me Now that the war is through with me I'm waking up, I cannot see That there is not much left of me Nothing is real but pain now Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, wake me Back in the womb it's much too real In pumps life that I must feel But can't look forward to reveal Look to the time when I'll live Fed through the tube that sticks in me Just like a wartime novelty Tied to machines that make me be Cut this life off from me Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, wake me Now the world is gone, I'm just one Oh God help me Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, help me Darkness imprisoning me All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die Trapped in myself Body my holding cell Landmine has taken my sight Taken my speech Taken my hearing Taken my arms Taken my legs Taken my soul Left me with life in hell.
Incredible talent for which there is only a very small handful in the world that can do this so clean. I like the step recording being done so seamlessly, it truly made my day today as I was dealing with a stressful work day. Thank you, Mike.
As a 25+ year guitarist I can tell you those faces in movements he’s making he’s done this 20,000 times he knows he’s got it and boy does he… Great work!
all the people that gave this a thumbs down are insane. one of the best performances of this song that’s not by the original artists. Mike you make it look so effortless. Thank you for bringing us a new approach and appreciation for this song. *****
it made me appreciate the melody fo the solo. the guy is a great player, very inventive and a sweet tone off the charts. the thing I couldn't get past tho was the hiphop style beat he's infusing in it, that goes against the spirit of the song for me
I stumbled across Mr. Dawes' video of "Somebody That I Used to Know" last night. Stephen Stills used to dabble in some of these techniques, but never really explored them to the extent that I see here. Absolutely amazing work. This young man is a national treasure of the UK music world!
Very rarely, someone with a undescribable talent, makes you see how great a human being can be and reaches levels that you did not even know existed. You my friend, is one of those ones.
This is what plays in the waiting room of my chiropractor / massage therapist’s office on repeat. He has some tattoos and doesn’t talk about his past much. Nice guy. Pretty soft-spoken. Good eye contact
So i've been playing lead guitar for 30 years, played professionally and recorded with names you may know, and I have played this song live several times. That said I had to watch this a second time to convince myself he didn't overdub, its only because the lead part at beginning is an octave lower that sort of proved it to me. I am envious my friend, you are better than I will ever be. That said I did go outside every 18 months for an afternoon away from guitar, you may want to try the same ;) great work.
"played professionally and recorded with names you may know... like Mike, Steve, and Dave..." Yes. I know of all those names. We are so proud of you, brah.
He may have not overdubbed, but there are multiple tracks in there. As with all his other non-live covers I've listened to. He is an amazing player and he is right: all songs are performed on one guitar and by one person. Still, he's an amazing player, but even he can't do all those sounds at once.
Have you tried the latest update? I still had my Smoke On the Water version up unill this Sunday but with this update my guitar can play every Dragonforce song and even Darude - Sandstorm.
4:49 DARKNESS! IMPRISONING ME! ALL THAT I SEE! ABSOLUTE HORROR! I CANNOT LIVE! I CANNOT DIE! TRAPPED IN MYSELF! BODY MY HOLDING CE-YELL-AYY-YELL!!!!!!!!!!
I feel that the pure talent and skill of this man further highlights the absolutely beautiful guitar work and musicianship on this album. For me AJFA is possibly the peak of Kirk's lead playing; although I really love the solo on the original "Unforgiven". Amazing job Mike, love listening to this!
Listen to Mike Dawes reminded me to re-listen to the greats of my youth; Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, and Davy Graham. Nice to hear the tradition continues.
He played the masterpiece. Where is his masterpiece. Mee too can play better than this since this was more than 30 yo masterpiece. No sweat bro. One bass song from Cliff for over 35 years, none be able to create better one like Anaesthesia. 🥵🥵
My God that was beyond amazing. I love great guitar works and my favorite artists include people like Jason Becker, Tommy Emanuel, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Andy Timmons, Andy James, Andy Wood etc etc etc. This right here? That just blew my mind.
Dude, that's next level. Bravo. This song is a work of art in its original form, but how you have transformed it into something new is testament to not only the greatness of the song, but also your skill and obvious hours of hard work . Well done, keep up the good work.
Amazing musician! A lot of people like me can play guitar, but very few reach the pinnacle. Mike has reached heights on this instrument that makes him a musician and not just a player.
The way Johnny Cash will forever “own” nine inch nails “Hurt” .. I believe Dawes now owns this song .. the way he makes it his own and perfects it!! Breathtaking !!
Ive been a fan of this song since 15 years ago when i first heard it - which is half of my life at this moment. And the way you capture its essence, the bits and pieces that make this song what it is is a marvel. Out of words. Pure Art!
Cant believe i didnt know this vlog existed fir the past 10 mths. Ive come across some other vids of Mike. One HELL of an absolute talented musician. Thx for sharing this and bringing us something for all to witness this talent.
Can someone help me find my jaw? I dropped it on the floor and can’t seem to find it. That was an amazing cover! I’ve never come across your channel before, but I had to subscribe instantly. Bravo dude! 👏
Wow, I was just looking up the intro and I didn't expect to hear the whole damn song played on one acoustic guitar. This is tremendous - extremely well done!

Hello Mike Dawes, I bought One Tab + MP3 from you back in 2017. Back then my level of play was not so high. Now I wanted to learn this work, but when I went to the post office using the download link (Paid via Paypal), the link is invalid, or rather it leads to your updated site. How can I access my purchased One Tab + MP3 again?

He's got clockwork rhythm.
The intro riff makes this seem like it's a normal cover. Then it ascends into another dimension, mind blown
Damn that was AMAZING!!! Mike is a genius!
You could teach him a few tricks too!!!!!
You're amazing as well bro!!! More power to you!!!
Legends in making

I can’t begin to imagine. Musicians like this just amaze me!
You dont think, you just do
@@skinnybuggo Someone’s watched Top Gun Maverick
@@anonymousperson3433 actually i havent haha, might come around to it eventually
@@skinnybuggo oh haha, “Don’t think just do” is a big tag line from the movie for context
he is not just an guitarist, nor just a musician, he has redefined the term Artist. This is Epic!
Jesus Christ this would be SO hard to do.
Seriously, this is the most impressive thing musically I've ever seen.
that is one of the most metal-looking acoustic guitars I've ever seen
It's probably worth more than a car too lol
Some tenacious d shit
It’s an Andreas Cuntz guitar. Costs about 7-8 k, very big waiting list for Mike’s version. The initial design wasn’t to look metal though haha.
I have been playing guitar for 55 years. 4 years ago the intractable migraine I have made me quit playing and singing.
Listening to and seeing Mike Dawes may get me to pick up one of my guitars again.
Thank you, Mike! You're an inspiration. Love it!
it will be a neck injury, try sleeping without pillows, cut down to 1 then none, all migrains come from the neck
@daniel hopwood I wish it were that simple. Instead, try between 30 and 40 concussions while serving in combat in the military. I've been working with a new neurologist, so there's new hope. Thank you for your concern!

That's sick, I mean how is this possible, and to never miss a beat. sounds like three people playing. Some people can do incredible things.
You need to watch him play the impossible.
How in the world anyone could dislike this, even if they don’t appreciate the song, the talent at least.
ikr, i guess some people just see the like and dislike button and get confused at which is the like button
Probably because they jelous
Teenagers probably do it for eggs
It's the Australians they think it's the like button. :P
Talent? I’ve been playing guitar for 2 weeks and have already mastered this rendition, learning smoke on the water on just the g string was harder than this trash. Definitely a thumbs down for me.
That is utterly amazing. The level of creativity from the genuine artists these days is astounding. I feel privileged to be able to hear this.
I've listened to many renditions of this song, and this is by far the best.
Thanks for all of your hard work to make such great art.
He hearted this comment and not the Igor's? I don't have any problems with this comment but that is Igor, wtf?
This should have a billion views. Speechless ... Soooooo beautiful

I’ve been playing for 40 years. This makes me feel like a beginner. It’s very humbling.
This is single handedly the most impressive thing that I have seen.
Pretty sure he's usig two hands.

Well Played you can't play the first solo?
I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me
Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, wake me
Back in the womb it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, wake me
Now the world is gone, I'm just one
Oh God help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, help me
Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell
Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell.

hello Justin!
and you here)
HEY LOOK! LOOK! IT'S JUSTIN!!! ;) love you man
Wow it's really him...( yes I lost a bet and changed my name to this)

So i've been playing lead guitar for 30 years, played professionally and recorded with names you may know, and I have played this song live several times.

He may have not overdubbed, but there are multiple tracks in there. As with all his other non-live covers I've listened to. He is an amazing player and he is right: all songs are performed on one guitar and by one person. Still, he's an amazing player, but even he can't do all those sounds at once.
He uses an octave pedal that only affects the lower strings/frequencies

^^^^^This just kills! Wow. Great job on the whole arrangement ...the natural reverb from that building was perrrrfect.

After all of these years... Still as glorious as ever.
I’ve fallen into the rabbit hole of covers for this song, piano, violin, acoustic, string quartet, I love all of it so much!!
Dude, are you a wizard?
Look like skyrim's elf wizards
Yeah, he's a level 77 fire mage, dont fuck with him or he'll firaja your ass.
No, he is a level 50 Bard.
The thing is, the song is so well composed it leads to something like this.
I feel that the pure talent and skill of this man further highlights the absolutely beautiful guitar work and musicianship on this album. For me AJFA is possibly the peak of Kirk's lead playing; although I really love the solo on the original "Unforgiven". Amazing job Mike, love listening to this!
He even played the vocal harmonies spot on! Unreal. The entire arrangement on acoustic guitar?? Nah. Impossible . . .
Nicely done!
This is a wonderfully inventive rendition and it also shows what a killer composition this is. Your command of the instrument is astounding 🙌
This is the best cover of any song I ever heard congratulations for being so talented
Listen to Mike Dawes reminded me to re-listen to the greats of my youth; Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, and Davy Graham. Nice to hear the tradition continues.
That was simply incredible!
As a fan of Metallica for 25 plus years now I’ve never seen anything like this!
You are fucking incredible dude 🙏🏼
If the recession comes, Metallica can replace all their current members with this one dude. ☝🏼
I guess better bring this guy up in their concert especially when playing their song "one" ..
Because he himself is "One"...
Lars is gonna hear about this.
He plays too clean, that’s not Metallica nature ☺️
He played the masterpiece. Where is his masterpiece. Mee too can play better than this since this was more than 30 yo masterpiece.
No sweat bro. One bass song from Cliff for over 35 years, none be able to create better one like Anaesthesia. 🥵🥵
what a masterpiece! you are living legend! and love that solo part!

I can only imagine how many hours of practice this took
He started learning guitar before he as born in the never realm
Maybe for him only one hour
The amount of time for him to just hear the song
Practise hours over 9000!
I heard that Mike was actually the one who taught Kirk how to play guitar 🤣
Amazing musician! A lot of people like me can play guitar, but very few reach the pinnacle. Mike has reached heights on this instrument that makes him a musician and not just a player.
i watched this to many times being a big fan of metalica and guitar player,its jsut beautiful
this man is a guitar
You gotta lick the guitar
You gotta date the guitar
You gotta wash the guitar
You gotta BE the guitar

The way Johnny Cash will forever “own” nine inch nails “Hurt” .. I believe Dawes now owns this song .. the way he makes it his own and perfects it!! Breathtaking !!
The best cover i have ever heard.
Magnifique interprétation ! merci à vous pour cette douce version.
Wow. Hard to even comment on this dude. I don’t anything about playing music but this has to be as good as it gets. Prove me wrong.
brilliant added two notes at 2:13-2:14, just beautiful
That's pretty INSANE!!!! Actually looked "mechanical". Like it was a machine playing. Just unbelievable.
inspirational. this is an example of musical genius if anyone ever needs a reference.
How this video gets 1k+ dislikes is an absolute mystery to me. Amazing guitar play!!
Cant stop repeating this conglomeration of passion, hard work, love.. and love..
While I am not a huge Metallica fan. This is truly amazing. This guy is awesome. What to see This guy play someday.
The talent displayed in this video is absolutely mind blowing🤯! Well done sir!!!
4:26 - is the best part
This is easily one of the most beautiful renditions of one of the best songs ever written 🔥🔥🔥
I'm digging the location you chose to do this. Sounds great.
Ive been a fan of this song since 15 years ago when i first heard it - which is half of my life at this moment. And the way you capture its essence, the bits and pieces that make this song what it is is a marvel. Out of words. Pure Art!
Mindblowing, to even say the LEAST. Actual guitar GURU.

Cant believe i didnt know this vlog existed fir the past 10 mths. Ive come across some other vids of Mike. One HELL of an absolute talented musician. Thx for sharing this and bringing us something for all to witness this talent.
Oh come on you arent human at all!!! Skilled, Talented and Creative at your level in a human? Imposible.
I can't keep half these rhythms in my head at once. Masterclass.
Ok he proved me wrong. I thought for sure a 1 man acoustic version of one wud be horrible but that was just incredible
After all the years this is still one of the best pieces I‘ve ever heard
I've never seen anything like this. He's multitasking on a guitar!!
There are truly no words for how awesome this is🤘🏻
Can someone help me find my jaw? I dropped it on the floor and can’t seem to find it.
That was an amazing cover! I’ve never come across your channel before, but I had to subscribe instantly. Bravo dude! 👏
Wow, I was just looking up the intro and I didn't expect to hear the whole damn song played on one acoustic guitar. This is tremendous - extremely well done!
Who knew shaggy from scooby doo could play the guitar like that?! This is awesome great job dude
Ruh roh, Raggy can play.
What a unique dumbass

Hello Mike Dawes, I bought One Tab + MP3 from you back in 2017. Back then my level of play was not so high. Now I wanted to learn this work, but when I went to the post office using the download link (Paid via Paypal), the link is invalid, or rather it leads to your updated site. How can I access my purchased One Tab + MP3 again?
How i love the original and how i loved your brilliant version!!! Thank you so much. Awesome
congrats mike! one of the best rock/metal songs and you 've made it your own way whith your unique voice and style
