[extremeloco23]

I've done hours of homework and revision while listening to your music, thank you for that :) very inspiritional, I'll go learn some precussion play after my exams are done

[gerirowe]

Lovely. First came across this tune on the John McLaughlin My Goal's Beyond album. This is different but just as good!

[Kirill1727]

great! very interesting! ideal jazz!

[tobethelight]

Hauntingly beautiful, you really make that guitar sing!

[davidguilfoyle]

Really beautiful rendition. The guitar sounds really fantastic. I might pluck up the courage to learn it myself one day. Is it DADGAD tuning?

[mikedawesofficial]

@davidguilfoyle It is indeed, and thank you! It's a great arrangement of a classic tune. Give it a go.

[dadgadjohn]

I would be hard pressed to say which version I like better. You played this at least as well as Tony, but you added some really nice touches of your own to the arrangement.

BRAVO!

[mikedawesofficial]

@dadgadjohn Very kind of you John. Recently discovered your videos. Love the 12 string sounds:)

[JaspersSister]

perfection meets guitar

[Qpidon]

This is beautifully played. And I love the look of your guitar... asking tablatures is not my nautre, but I'll have to make an exception here... :-D

Kind regards,

Pasca.

[mikedawesofficial]

@Qpidon Thanks for the comment Pascal. I actually transcribed it from a live video, I don't think there are any tabs, not of this version anyway.

It's a great arrangement, I saw Tony play it a few years back and it really stuck out. Swore I would learn it!

All the best, thanks again.

Mike

So you were the lucky guy who got that 100th guitar. I saw it on Nick's website and wanted it so badly. You can play it 100 times better than me though so you deserved it!

[mikedawesofficial]

@Henders100 Ha cheers much, it is indeed a beaut. Can't believe i actually managed to get it, so happy with it:)

Thanks for the comment

[BryanRason]

very cool man.... great vibe and melody

[Smokeysoul1]

Great choice! This is actually my favourite jazz standard by my favourite composer - Mingus was the daddy!! And the McManus arrangement is lovely :)

[markskywalker71]

Ciao Mike,
