Mike Dawes

In this second episode of ‘Sixty Scales and the Truth’, Niels sits down with ‘acoustic guitar guy’ Mike Dawes. Mike is a very crafty player who shifted from the electric to the acoustic guitar when he was young. Besides that, he is a very funny individual. He developed an insane technique and precision. Mike talks about his mentor Tommy Emmanuel, what it means to be a solo artist, and what it takes to collaborate with others. Furthermore, Mike explains how the memory of Eddie van Halen helped him overcome a difficult time in his life. Also, Mike reflects on the way he makes his complex arrangements. Mike too has a question for the upcoming guest: Ariel Posen.
