Thomann's Guitars & Basses | 4 years ago
We had the pleasure to welcome the acoustic guitar genius, Mike Dawes on the show. Mike explains us how he likes his guitars set up, tells some fun stories and technical difficulties on tour and in the studio.
What a great guy and extraordinary player!
Grab your guitar, some tools and a coffee and enjoy the video!
