[@drucifer6]

siiick would love the tab

[@TheseBitchesWantNikes]

Circa's guitarwork is second-to-none as far as I'm concerned.

[@durranborn9465]

Mike, this was fantastic. Circa was my favorite band for the better part of a decade. Juturna is still in my top 5 albums, but my musical taste has changed in my 30s. Getting older is weird, aye?

[@Mikerisms]

Durran Born Thanks dude! Juturna is definitely up there in my best albums ever! haha, yeah I know what you mean. The older I get the less i care about any bands or albums that don't really make me feel something. I never just buy a band's album just because it's from a band I like any more. Plus I'm completely open to absolutely any style of music now, there's nothing I won't give listen to before I decide wether I like it or not. it's a great outlook to have on music 😁

[@ItsAlwaysRainingInWa]

I know what you guys mean! Not in a bad way, but this album from Circa has never quite captivated me. I mean I still likeit, but Blue Sky Noise? That album is in my top five and the reason I love Circa Survive and why I will be going to see them soon! I would have never thought that I would like bands like Eternity Forever or Andres just a year ago. It's weird indeed! Cheers!

[@JustGresh]

Theyre all great but it's all about On Letting Go.

[@ActApalledx2]

Any sound of animals fighting in there? :p

[@drewjonespdx]

I can't relate. im in my 30's now and I love them even more

[@cavanbrady1591]

FUCK YEAH DO MORE CIRCA

[@flyers10258]

Yes, please do more Circa.

[@CristianKirk]

Birth of the economic hit man!

[@ACE555647]

Yes!! I'd love some more Circa. And if you can drop a tutorial for this song I'll probably have a heart attack.

[@Jaker788]

Circa Survive has such great guitar pieces

[@anthonyk0420]

your tone is always on point fucking incredible every cover dude

[@jacobfrye6540]

one of my favorite songs, great cover

[@Mikerisms]

Jacob Frye Thanks man, mine too 😀

[@shinatoIV]

Such a consistent channel with consistent quality haha

[@usukapal]

Shinato I so true!

[@Mikerisms]

Shinato I Thanks, I try my best 😀

[@sinversando6127]

I'll be waiting for "Get Out"

[@antonioes6848]

Omg, I didn't know you made covers of circa survive, this is awesome!

[@xavierstilions]

Yes! You finally covered Circa, I can die in peace :)

[@Mikerisms]

I agree with this guy 😀

[@cursemudgeon]

I grew up in the same town as Anthony Green (Doylestown, PA) so I used to see quite a bit of him before I moved away. Glad to see you're a fan of Circa Survive, Juturna is still one of my all time favorite albums.

[@Mikerisms]

Matt M That's cool dude 😀 Yeah this is such an incredible album!

[@Mecha-ddafi]

Agreed. Juturna sounds nothing like anything else imo. The guitar makes ZERO sense, yet its extraordinarily mesmerizing and almost puts you in a trance. Really dark and depressing but somehow also beautiful and euphoric. My #1 favorite album of all time and now I get to enjoy other band like Hail the Sun that really seem influenced by Circa Survive

[@ErickHernandez-vs5wn]

Yess!!! juturna!! favorite Circa album!🤘🔥💯

[@Mecha-ddafi]

Yes! Same! On Letting Go is great and all but Juturna has a certain rawness that is so appealing to me.

[@kelvinwhitejr.3200]

You showed first when I looked up covers and I really never do anymore. Glad to see passion is still apart of music. Keep doing ya thing my man! 👍🍻

[@cloudburn498]

I cant believe it, so good. Please do more circa!

[@Mikerisms]

dorindo blalock Thanks dude 😀

[@edderortega9838]

How am I just seeing this?! Do more Circa! 😉😉😉

[@gamemasterz4026]

Just when I think I couldn't be impressed enough you whip out circa survive :) favourite band with fall of Troy closely behind. Thanks for the awesome videos !!!

[@Mikerisms]

gamemasterz haha, thanks dude ☺

[@gamemasterz4026]

Your welcome man, I appreciate the whole vibe of the channel. Haha if your not bored you should check out TheDooo :P if you haven't already. I think you would like that

[@joserico5992]

finally a circa cover 😭💖

[@JustGresh]

Dude yes! First song I ever heard by them when I was about 12. I'm 25 now. Thank you for having the best taste in music.

[@Mikerisms]

JustGresh Haha, thanks dude! This is the first I heard of them too when this album was released. I love this band!

[@philmccuen]

So happy I got to see these guys! You do them a great justice, sir!!

[@quicogonzalez7614]

Damn dude. Teach me!

[@happytyler41892]

damn, you nailed that!

[@DrEnword]

MIKE YOU ARE THE BEST I CANT GET OVER THIS lol in all seriousness, Circa songs aren't necessarily the most complex, but there's just so much emotion and clever usage of riffs, so creative :O Thank you so much for covering a classic, you made me light up when I saw this notification :)

[@Mikerisms]

Haha, you're welcome dude! Yeah, there isn't anything overly technical in them at all but damn it's what they do with it that makes it so sexual!

[@TUAHZAYAN]

MORE CIRCA AND TUTORIALS

[@Ghohst]

Killer!

[@DerekD722]

on point as always. would love to hear some more circa in the future forsure🤙

[@Mikerisms]

Derek Dorfmeyer Thanks man. I love Circa, not sure why I've not done any until now! There will be more 😀

[@christopher5646]

Liked before it even started. No regrets.....

[@JustGresh]

No Ragretz

[@bradleywhidman2015]

Bro you are so energetic and it’s so good to see this when you play you have so much legitimate passion and dude you nailed it bro Great Job Godbless 3:16

[@LambdaComplexx]

Mike is my spirit animal

[@joshr6555]

Love this song, love this band, love this channel.

[@WDJess]

YESSS!!!! Off from my fave Album!!!!!!

[@mikenovitsky]

Great cover @mikerisms; Circa Survive is one of my all-time favorite bands. A few tutorials of their songs would be fantastic!

[@Mikerisms]

Mike Novitsky Thaks my namesake-buddy 😀 I love Circa's older stuff so I'll definitely do more in future. I'll tab them out too, this one was an unplanned cover, it just kind if happened so I didn't tab it out!

[@mikenovitsky]

Mikerisms sweet, thanks man. I've been really enjoying all of the Dance Gavin Dance covers/tutorials you've been putting out recently. Heck, I've even learned a couple of the songs; which probably wouldn't have happened without your videos since it's almost impossible to find a complete/consistent tab out there. If you're looking for Circa songs to go over I'd like to request Imaginary Enemy, Get Out, Frozen Creek, or Fever Dreams. I love them all and would love to see your take on them. Cheers!

[@trashtrailers5399]

It's godlike as always

[@Hambone1389]

You never disappoint. Rad.

[@Mikerisms]

Casey Hampton Thanks!

[@huuexx]

Dude you rock lol

[@xonthebackofmyhand]

Solid fucking cover dude. You looked like you were having a blast. Hats off to you

[@fergar0206]

best guitar covers on youtube

[@Mikerisms]

Fernando Garcia Thanks dude 😀

[@doppelganger9093]

Hell yeah man this channel is fucking awesome.

[@Mikerisms]

Doppel Ganger909 Thanks dude 😁

[@mmmindy1998]

This is gods work

[@anthonycas8671]

CIRCA COVERS!!!!! YESSSSS!!!!!

[@picassoeven]

you’re crazy good mike

[@lolvidsify]

Dude amazing!

[@zackbishop1546]

dude me and you play it completely different but this looks awesome. we have the same taste in music!!!!!!! you got me wantin to start my own channel lol!

[@Mikerisms]

Zack Bishop Yeah, there are loads of ways you can play this song, I tend to do an amalgamation of all the guitar parts rather than just sticking to any particular parts. Do it man, I'd love to see more people play these styles of music 😁

[@patrickcardwell9862]

Great song! Great band! Your channel is amazing! I'm constantly using your tutorials and covers to learn songs I love. If you haven't already, I suggest checking out the band "I the mighty" (specifically their albums Karma never sleeps, and Connector)

[@Mikerisms]

Patrick Cardwell Thanks a lot dude 😀 I know I The Mighty, I'm not a massive fan but they do have some great guitar work so I'll add them to my list ☺

[@eshrug]

oh dang nice job

[@jonathanarmstrong4326]

B.E.A.utiful!

[@ezysao]

I found a really cool song I think would be a challenge for you, it is called "Pelagic" by Covet. Awesome cover as always! Keep up the good quality on your channel.

[@Mikerisms]

Voez Thanks ☺ I've heard a fair bit of Covet and I do quite like a lot of it. It's just a style of playing I've never done before, it's probably a good entry point to that style though so I may just give it a go 😀

[@earl-larsen]

amazing!

[@zakkgwynn489]

what are the chords in the chorus and that second chord u play as the intro??

[@SpritoftheStairwell]

Love your covers man!

[@Mikerisms]

Arktek Thanks ☺

[@SherKhan0122]

Will pay for tabs

[@docko23]

So consistent with great content. So glad I found your channel. Have you ever considered streaming on twitch or a streaming site and just jamming or working out covers?

[@Mikerisms]

ImKob603 Thanks dude! I can't say I have really, maybe I'll look into it in the future ☺

[@ihyp5071]

my god i really dont expect this, dgd now cs dayum

[@circavivs3742]

man pls im not ready for circa...you're insane.

[@Mikerisms]

circa vivs Haha, sorry, add this to your Watch Later playlist, save it until you're prepared 😆

[@Anthony9813911]

This is amazing! Also is there any purpose to adding that foam at the top of the neck?

[@cursemudgeon]

It helps to keep the strings from ringing out during palm mutes mostly.

[@Mikerisms]

Anthony9813911 Thanks dude! Yeah, it stops the strings from resonating behind the nut when I'm playing. It's only subtle but it can be very noticeable once you know it's there!

[@JordanEliasShanbrom]

add more circa survive please I'll like each one if you do. like start with On Letting Go and move to Blue Sky Noise.

[@erickdoza]

Do sianvar, stolas, or coheed & cambria next! 😎 keep up the good work man!

[@Mikerisms]

erickdoza Aaaah, Coheed! I definitely need to do some Coheed 😁

[@erickdoza]

Mikerisms any song will suffice! But preferably, a favor house Atlantic or welcome home lol

[@JasZxon]

the best

[@peckerwood5546]

Good one, I'm pals with Sir Anthony Green, love Circa. Can I request house of leaves lol

[@LetsGoInStyle]

thank you so much, this is awesome! More juturna in the future??

[@Mikerisms]

LetsGoInStyle Thanks dude! Yeah, I love that album, it's incredible!

[@wingnut123]

A throwback from the Juturna album, love this song. Can you post tabs?

[@Mikerisms]

wingnut123 This was an unexpected cover I did quickly last night so i didn't tab it out! I'll try and get it tabbed out soon though and I'll add them in the description ☺

[@supremepantalones9947]

WE WANT MORE CIRCA

[@kevinhjelm4963]

MOAR CIRCA!

[@reanyory]

Hey man, what happened to your cover of the difference between medicine and poison is in the dose?

[@Palentir]

How are you hitting the 5-0-3? Im picking them individually. I see you not strumming

[@TheDarkngrim]

It's on Standard D?

[@anthonyk0420]

Dude you're so fucking awesome thanks for this

[@Mikerisms]

Thanks man ☺

[@danishtourangbam8265]

0 dislikes damn straight.😊

[@misstrKevin]

Hey Mike while we're on the subject, do you listen to in fear and faith?

[@Mikerisms]

misstrKevin I love their first album, and Imperial wasn't too bad either. I didn't much like their stuff after that though. That Symphonies thing they did wasn't good! I'm up for doing some Your World On Fire definitely 😁

[@misstrKevin]

Mikerisms Yeah after their screamer Cody left it got a little weird 😕 that a such a good song though I'll be on the lookout!

[@bermudezk12345]

can you do a rundown of your set up?

[@Mikerisms]

Keith Bermudez Yes, I did one a while ago but I feel it's time for an updated, perhaps more in depth rig video. I'll try and get it done soon 😊

[@hovsepkrim2781]

if i do patreon can i get the tab for this please?

[@t-ross4890]

you missed the opportunity to do a "name that tune" with this!

[@Mikerisms]

Well this stemmed from a comment in my last Name That Tune so i went with it, haha!

[@cesarrenderos3023]

I know this is old but i would love a tutorial on it (or I'll have to stare at your hands)

[@diasakbar]

tuning bro?

[@paulerxx]

I wish you had tabs for every song you cover :/

[@ihyp5071]

do issues pls

[@Mrkywes1]

o.O what amp do you use ?

[@Mikerisms]

Lucas Bacelar I use a Laney IRT Studio dude, beast of an amp 😀

[@AttackCityMedia]

Tuning?

[@richardaraiza7324]

Would love a tutorial

[@RoyBelmont]

why couldnt you tab this... i love this cover though!

[@Mikerisms]

Roy Belmont It was a last minute quick cover I did late one night and didn't tab it as I went along! I'll tab it out and add the tab when I'm done man 😀

[@RoyBelmont]

ye boi! that explains it! you are one of the few channels that interacts with its subs and i love it!

[@Mikerisms]

Roy Belmont Thanks man 😀 There's not much point in a comments sections if it's not to interact, I don't get it when KZbinrs ignore everything their subscribers say, weirdos! 😁

[@TheGnat27]

Any chance of ever doing anything by trophy scars?

[@Mikerisms]

Every chance of doing everything by Trophy Scars!!! In fact, I'll do some right now! My absolute favourite band in the universe ever by the way!

[@TheGnat27]

That's awesome!!! If you ever did Botanicas or Anna Lucia off of Bad Luck, I would be so so so grateful!!!

[@Mikerisms]

TheGnat27 I think I'll find it hard to do just one song, I always find it hard to listen to just one, I end up listening to the whole album!

[@TheGnat27]

Mikerisms I'm guessing you've checked out their new single?

[@Mikerisms]

TheGnat27 Yep, I love it! Can't wait for a new album!

[@lemonheadma5k]

You should do some King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizzard!

[@Mikerisms]

Mylo Paradox Man I hate that band! sorry 😂

[@lemonheadma5k]

Mikerisms holy Shit really?! Have you listened to Robot Stop?

[@Mikerisms]

Mylo Paradox I have just now... It's not for me man. I get it, I appreciate why so many people like them but it doesn't really connect with me. I have a pupil who loves them so I've come across and worked out quite a bit of their stuff in the past. I'm always up for listening to more, if you can suggest some that may change my mind I'm all ears ☺

[@gsharpenmydjencil]

Do you have any original content?

[@davidpottinger9511]

Robust Tyler Garbanzo yeah man, look through his channel. He has a number of them, and they're pretty awesome!

[@Mikerisms]

Robust Tyler Garbanzo Hey man. I have a few yeah, nothing recent though; They're all old things from years ago. I'm constantly working on new bits and bobs but nothing is finished yet!

[@unborn]

tabs?

[@pauluga3384]

Can you give me all of your guitars please?

[@nathanschambers6984]

Where's the tabs or tutorial at homie??

[@Mikerisms]

Nathan Schambers Currently somewhere in my brain... I'll try and recover them one day soon!

[@nathanschambers6984]

Mikerisms For sure man! I haven't put enough time into ear training, so I like having the tabs especially when it's my favorite band.

[@spadoynkal]

Mike, if you find in in that heart of yours.. I've been told how it's non existant, could you play the difference between? haha. PROVE THEM WRONG

[@Mikerisms]

Mikee Hardison That, my friend, is some fine psychological manipulation you've done there... however it appears to have worked... I will prove them wrong!

[@carlalmonte4454]

hahahaha, you covered this song because of that comment from your last 'name that tune' Edit: I didn't even see your reply to that comment saying you were gonna cover this song until now lol

[@Mikerisms]

Carl Almonte Haha, I did, the guy has commented Act Appalled on my last few Name That Tune vids. So I did it for him, haha!

[@carlalmonte4454]

Mikerisms Ur a good samartin indeed for doing so. From this cover and the description it's apparent you deeply enjoy this song as well lol Keep up on the good content!

[@JustGresh]

Now I know how to get you to play a song I want. Lol.

[@Societyman123]

lol this song must have been cake for you

[@Mikerisms]

Sparky2po It was a last minute video and it really didn't take long but man it's such a great song! It's not all about challenging yourself, it's about connecting and feeling what you're playing, and boy does this song bring the feelz 😀

[@Societyman123]

circa survive definitely does that haha

[@NebakinezaOG]

You play this so wrong lol

[@Ubi-o]

How the hell did you learn that mess? And how did they come up with these weird riffs. Holy crap man.
