The first installment of the Modern Fingerstyle Guitar Podcast features – you guessed it – English percussive fingerstyle guitarist Mike Dawes.

This is the audio taken from the video interview I did with Mike when he stopped by Seattle a few months back. Please excuse the quality, the crew was packing up all the gear in the background and it can get a bit noisy at times.

We actually cover some additional topics near the end so if you check it out if you’re interested.
