The Showhawk Duo is made up of British guitarists Mikhail Asanovic and Jake Wright, both of whom have an innovative style that’s mind-boggling to watch. In this TEDx episode, they play a duet that spoke to people all around the world.

That’s when Mik speeds it up and the real show starts.
Unique sounds roll off of the duo’s instruments, instantly captivating the crowd.
People in the audience immediately begin clapping along with The Showhawk Duo, entranced by their ability to use their guitars to their fullest potential.
They start off by playing “I Can’t Get No Sleep (Insomnia)” by The Faithless, which is an electric-house song that not many can pull off on the guitar.
After that, they move on to a flawless cover of DJ Tiësto’s “Adagio for Strings.”
The way they turn these electronic songs in acoustic masterpieces is beyond extraordinary, and The Showhawk Duo make it look easy.
As they move through “Adagio for Strings,” both Jake and Mik remain completely focused on the music they’re creating.
Both musicians furiously slide up and down their guitar strings, making sounds that don’t even seem possible on the instrument.
