Dance Gavin Dance - Midnight Crusade - Cover (With TAB)

They had to go and release this at like 1 am while I was asleep, so I know I'm a little late to the party!
This gives me high hopes for the new album =)
Here's the links to my TAB:

So, you learned a new song, created tabs for it, filmed yourself playing it (with 2 separate guitar tracks), edited the whole thing together, and still had it out within like 12hrs of the song's release. That's impressive

[@Mikerisms]

Adam Mahar Thanks! It would've been a lot quicker had it not been 1am when it was released and I wasn't in bed, it's like they did it on purpose so I had to wait until morning 😂

[@dgdbeep]

Wonder when mike is gonna cover thi.. oh...okay

[@LaynaLeea]

see mike, i used to think i was a dedicated DGD fan.. then i found your channel.

[@FlamingZander]

Its been 13 hours, what took you so long? (Sarcasm of course, great job dude)

[@Mikerisms]

FlamingZander My wife nearly woke me up at 1am when the song dropped... she didn't, I blame her! 😂

[@johnhowetv]

You're a god.

[@alleycatdevil]

John Howe hey I don’t know if you’re allowed to answer but are you making the video for Son of Robot?

[@svenstofferson]

Tillian found a very good home. Their first CD with them was a little rough but the potential on it was huge and it has been exciting hearing the band become more homogenous and able to incorporate everyone's different styles. Very very excited to hear the rest of the album and I am hoping for some sweet matt and jon heavy songs:)

[@Mikerisms]

svenstofferson Absolutely, every new thing they do further hones their sound. This is absolutely what dgd are all about nowadays and I love it!

[@ilocosmetro]

I'm here trying to learn the sitar song from Courage the Cowardly Dog on guitar, and here you are covering DGD's latest song to the note!

[@jordylaforge3522]

That should tell you something about the difficulty level of dance gavin dance songs. Also, courage is the bomb, keep playing! (create your own shit though, don't be a statistic)

[@ilocosmetro]

Jordy LaForge Was learning Muriel's song by ear, had to mess around with the tuning, but I learned it. Also, about creating my own stuff, I just gotta find the time between that and school

[@Crarshall]

hey I have no experience playing guitar so i'm not sure what you mean by this but it seems pretty complex to my ears :x

[@anthonymorales5815]

Aidan I’m not sure what he means either. Some of their songs are fairly difficult lol. But this one isnt

[@ripTDog]

Jordy LaForge anyone can cover a song or trace a drawing. It's not necessarily complex but the song structure is everything and doesn't matter how "complex" you think a song is musically. That's not even half the battle.

[@Nanokeeps]

I'm happy that there's finally a guitar player on YT that plays Swancore style music! Have my like per usual. Lol

[@SallyDrumz]

Let's start a DGD cover band pls

[@Mikerisms]

SallyDrumz Lets coose a song from the new album when it arrives and well get on it. Maybe get Josh Ford or Andy Cizek in on the job too 😀

[@SallyDrumz]

Mikerisms I'm in dude! That'd be sweet!

[@chrism4886]

HOW EVEN! TABS TOO? YOU SPOIL US 😭

[@EduardoJimenez-fd4ty]

UIVREAL Ghost he really does 😭😭

[@geoff3610]

I feel like you're an honorary member of dgd and that if ever they need a backup guitarist because will is out, then they should call you.

[@durranborn9465]

ugh....first underoath starts a nosedive and now my favorite band releases this. I'm gonna be honest mike, i think your skills are a bit lacking in this demonstration as well...i mean i've seen your skill before and JUST KIDDING THIS IS AMAZING OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS I CANT EVEN WOW HOLY YOU ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED THIS WHAT AN AMAZING SONG DGD IS A WELL OILED MACHINE BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@evanoliver604]

It wouldn’t be a new DGD song without Mike transcoding it for us mere mortals. I bow to you sir.

[@stevenlitton7507]

hahaha the end was my favorite!! it made my baby say "wooohoo" thanks for sharing. can't believe you nailed tjis over night and uploaded. amazingg

[@maad1312]

I LOVE YOU !!!! This was so Fast! BRAVO!

[@joshtsavo1023]

This has given me such high hopes for the album, was leaning towards HTS and they release this and restore my faith that no one tops DGD in my book. So goddamn groovy!

[@rachellynn9838]

Super amazing as always, Mike! Stoked for the album. Their singles are always a bit more pop-ish, simple and generic. I'm sure once we get to the full album it'll be the weird and funky DGD that we all know and love! :)

[@Mikerisms]

Rachel Lynn Thanks 😀 I'm looking forward to seeing what weird funky stuff they have in store. I still love these poppy anthems though!

[@bradmuehlenbein]

420th like, never been more proud. Great work can’t wait for more!

[@CS-ys3ew]

This song gives me chills- and you’ve replicated it flawlessly. Thank you so much. These covers/tutorials have taught me three of their songs and I can’t even tell you how how much these have inspired me to practice

[@stevenlitton7507]

the happiness in you!! is the happiness in me when I heard this last night for the first time. and when I was driving for and hour with my one year old singing along to dgd. I had chills the entire time, it felt euphoric. hadn't had it in a while, years actually. I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling it -alexa mess

[@leftsideofhere2484]

I thought to myself "could this dude's energy be any more infectious" then boom two of him bahaha

[@emersonkerin7046]

Dance gavin dance is one of my top favorite bands and you nailed this. Awesome.

[@buda559TV]

They’re Back!!!

[@alejandrojjimenezquintero2957]

I just love how on some videos ppl are now leaving comments like: “mike is already covering it” xD what a god

[@animeaddict1372]

When I first heard it yesterday, all I could think was “Man, I can’t wait for Mike’s cover video!” Excellent job, man!

[@Mikerisms]

Lucas1372 Thanks dude 😊

[@mraudiss]

You’re late mike. This is not ok.

[@Mikerisms]

Cody Audiss I can only apologise for my tardiness. I am so deeply sorry. It won't happen again. ☹

[@mraudiss]

Mikerisms you seem sorry, I couldn’t ever stay mad😊

[@TheDIOWSubZero]

The last part gets me every time 🤘🏻

[@justinecunanan]

I knew you’d be on this right away. Nice, man!

[@aaronwong9709]

Man not only did you provide tabs, but I had the pleasure of watching you fucking have a blast! LOVE IT!!!!!!

[@lvlridesnikes]

Crazy when my favorite band releases new music and I get almost just as excited cause I know your cover is coming immediately after!!! Great work dude!!!

[@Mikerisms]

lvlridesnikes Haha, thanks 😀

[@Shockwave224]

This made my day! Perfect tone, perfect playing, perfect everything. Amazing work! :)

I KNEW YOU'D DO THIS RIGHT AWAY, this is incredible, and i appreciate your videos!

[@melvinguimond1559]

they're always well done is what i meant lol

[@CristianKirk]

Amazing Mike, as always. I loved that you did both guitars separately instead of mixing them up in one guitar part.

[@CharlieViking95]

This cover is even more saucy than the bridge section in this song. Fucking swell job!

[@squierandjackson]

Absolutely amazing as usual, Mike. Looking forward to seeing you cover the album in a week. 😭💪💪

[@Mikerisms]

squierandjackson Thanks man! I'll do my best. I might try for a song a day or something 😂

[@houseatlantic8973]

Dude i just found your channel about a week ago and my gawd I'm so happy I found you!!! Great job man!! ❤

[@hotseat1233]

So hyped for this album.

[@caseyfoster3933]

Love it! I think I'm going to try learning this one as my intro to DGD. Thanks for the tab Mike!

[@Mikerisms]

Michael Cowan Good choice man, it's not too difficult at all, a great introduction to playing the Swan style ☺

[@oceanconner5125]

Can't wait for the more covers from the new dgd album

[@mishamigo22]

[@dropyvisuals4355]

[@the__siience8693]

[@kraigsaycon4193]

Kraig Saycon Thanks a lot dude 😀

[@kraigsaycon4193]

You're the reason why i practice and train more on guitar hope to meet you someday.

[@LPtests]

OMG! you're fast! hahaha this is perfect! :)

[@daniebelle22]

Only mike can literally, genuinely have no dislikes on a vid

[@Mikerisms]

Daniel Belle Spoke too soon, it's like there's a bot that works its way round KZbin plopping a dislike on every single video! Or was it you?! 😂

[@Kai_Imber]

What’s with DGD’s odd fingers? I can barely reach some of the strings.

[@memoire-30jm09]

That's math rock for ya, some complicated stuff. 😂

[@andrewstickelman7702]

You’re the best!!! So excited to learn this one!!

[@garrygory5566]

Omg so good

[@mrcras7257]

You are an inspiration to us all

[@PokeSteven]

Mike you're a fucken mate! Thanks for sharing the tab man! ❤️

[@rarefeline]

Nailed it, dude.

[@anthonyprieto1768]

Hmmm that was quick! You're on fire mate!

[@TheMsjill0000]

[@jacobfrye6540]

[@Reviewdudeinc]

Amazing video bro as always

[@EndReaching]

This is amazing, dad

[@theapathetichispanic3621]

[@thatalykat]

I’ve never hit the subscribe button so fast. You are amazing my dude!

[@Mikerisms]

thatgirlharley _ Thanks a lot 😁

[@marcoa.corral9724]

Omfg your so quick yesss!

[@realoddone2517]

LITERALLY HOW ARE YOU SO FAST! It takes me a few days just to memorize lyrics haha

[@alejandromatamoros5779]

Awesome sound!

[@kye521]

I picked a good day to be off work, oh boy! Absolutely nailed it dude!

[@Mikerisms]

kye521 Thanks man. I expect a flawless rendition from you next week!

[@kye521]

Mikerisms haha, I wouldn't count on it! I find it really awkwardly phrased, even by DGD's standards.

[@Mikerisms]

kye521 Yeah the whole entirely offbeat verse part is awkward to get timed right. Took me a while!

[@asentientkyle-3932]

Dance Gavin Dance, with tabs? You, sir, have earned a subscriber.

[@Mikerisms]

ASentientKyle - Well thanks 😀

[@asentientkyle-3932]

Mikerisms I was originally waiting for tutorials of death of a strawberry or Carl barker or NASA, but new Dance Gavin Dance with tabs works too :)

[@Mikerisms]

ASentientKyle - Haha, thanks! They're all on my list, there's just a million of them so I'll definitely get to them one day 😀

[@asentientkyle-3932]

Mikerisms I bet, haha. I can't quite play this stuff yet but I hope to one day. Your tutorials are super helpful and I was trying to work out your cover of Carl barker but I had some trouble. Anyways, thanks in advance.

[@woof132]

mike i've got a tune i was hoping you could possibly cover. the band is Oranges. the song is "Part II Glem Lerner". pretty sure you're going to love it. it's a great tune thats really gone under the radar. thanks!

[@jdmfan4134]

Ducking hell, man. I love you.

[@TunnelPigsCodeRed]

Theres one chord in the tabs that i find very hard to hit in the intro the way you played it in the video (3rd chord of the intro, when you add the 6 on the high e). You play it using the base of you index finger. however for those of us with less coordinated fingers, if you can play the B on the low E with your thumb, then you can use the index finger to add the six. Great job btw on the tabs!

[@Mikerisms]

Absolutely, Thumb is probably most people's go to fingering for that chord. I seem to find barring one finger across a couple of frets suits my hand better. Good call dude =)

[@danspitalnik]

Nicely done.

[@StadiumArcadium1234]

Thanks so much for the tab, you're a honestly a fucking legend

[@aaronbopst8764]

Great song and great cover.

[@glassarrows09]

amazing ear. i would love to see you cover something like Concrete Kitten from Aviations.

[@ty_chaa]

Any chance you'll do a tutorial on the lead part? Kinda confusing to me

[@CustomAnthemsMusicProductions]

Great playing...love it!

[@Mikerisms]

customAnthems Music Productions Thanks ☺
