Wolf & Bear - GreyBlood - Cover By Mike Smith

[@DrEnword]

you've officially mastered the art of guitar covers... it's insane... And honestly, I don't think there's a Blue Swan guitarist who can match your technical ability! keep it up!

[@Mikerisms]

BigElephant Haha, thanks a lot dude 😀

[@joshtsavo1023]

Mikerisms will. but you're pretty damn awesome too

[@DrEnword]

Josh Tsavo idk man, Will even says himself that he's not a shredder. Granted he has better compositional skills than Mikerisms, but in pure agility he's beat. He's been playing guitar longer than Will anyways :)

[@s13brian]

Please don't stop making videos anytime soon. All your covers are perfect.

[@Mikerisms]

s13brian I don't plan on it! Thanks 😁

[@pnirse]

The riff on that first verse is something special

[@The053199]

The last minute of this song from 3:00-4:00 is literally the best thing I've ever heard All these years later and I still never get tired of it 😭💯

[@danielsatur4158]

Closure in Moscow vibes, hell yeah.

[@heyitsyoon]

1:53 the accidental harmonic was actually pretty sick.

[@44fan182]

You need to contact Will Swan ASAP. Your skills are up there dude and play throughs are flawless, super passionate too. Keep making vids man!!

[@aarondethrage]

Nothing makes me want to practice quite like a Mike video.

[@Mikerisms]

Aaron Dethrage Haha, thanks dude 😀

[@CooperDrums]

Just started listening to these guys today and they are so good! Awesome job as usual dude!

[@noelsnotes]

You are a lifesaver. I was so disappointed when I found these guys but couldn't find any tabs on ultimate guitar.

[@adamnixon2886]

Best covers on youtube Hands down. Mike even gets me to enjoy songs I usually dislike (not this one). Thanks so much brother!

[@danspitalnik]

Finally! Been waiting for new music from them for ages. Thanks for alerting me to it, and well played, as always.

[@Mikerisms]

Daniel Spitalnik Thanks man. Yeah, me too! They're finishing the album at the moment, to be released in a few months hopefully 😀

[@Danny-uy1zz]

Youre the man. Didn't think I'd find any tabs for these guys but you're on it

[@AHeroOfTime]

Adding them to my music pool~~~

[@docko23]

You continue to impress and motivate me to be a better guitar player. Just purely incredible. I'll hope one day to be as good as you, keep up the great work!

[@AllanHathaway]

Lol does anyone remember those DGD vocal covers done by those scarykids15 kids? Well one of them is the vocalist of this band. I just found that out.

[@joshtsavo1023]

goddamnit this is better then I thought it would be. nailed it bro

[@kye521]

It never stops surprising me how fast you do this man, great cover!

[@Mikerisms]

kye521 haha, thanks man!

[@2thuggg]

Dude i was seriously thinking in my head when i first saw the music video "mike needs to, for sure, do a cover of this song!!!" And i look, you already did!!!! Im going to see wolf and bear live in ft. Worth on thursday! Ill have a beer in your honor!!! Haha cheers!

[@Mikerisms]

2thuggg Of course, how could I not cover this type of genius!? Excellent, say hey to them from me 😀 Tell Joshua he should play this song my way cos it's easier in this tuning? haha!

[@themikehypothesis]

so you and I must have like the exact same musical tastes. every time I find a cool new song or band you already have a jammin cover ready for me to enjoy. keep on rockin sir! Cheers!!!

[@DaltonGoesSlow]

Never heard of them but clicked for the thumb nail I knew it had to be good

[@Mikerisms]

Dalton McCabe Get on them dude, they're incredible. Can't wait for the album 😁

[@niceguyns3521]

Beautiful cover man 👌🏻

[@Hambone1389]

Rad cover. Never heard of this band, but I dig it.

[@georgthesecond]

I've learned of them because Tim of DGD is also playing bass for them right now.

[@Hambone1389]

George K. Oh, yeah? That's cool. Seems like anything that the DGD guys do is really good stuff.

[@joshtsavo1023]

hey man, can you check the guitar pro tab, during the tap bit at the end I think there is a note off, I think I figured it out but want to be sure. thanks man, awesome song to jam with

[@HshSlngngSlshr1]

Please make tutorials of some Wolf & Bear!

[@KillAllTheSpiders]

This clean vocalist has got to be my favorite non-DGD singer. I was really just hoping the band would continue to put out songs on par with Sight and Different Fires; this single's got me really hyped for a full album/EP.

[@joshtsavo1023]

Austin Nelson I agree, second favorite to Tilian for me

[@johnnykooks4096]

Austin Nelson what about Andrew wells?

[@KillAllTheSpiders]

John Kuchler I like his lyrics; his voice is pretty good too. Stays away from some of the generic screamer sounds that I don't like :)

[@johnnykooks4096]

Austin Nelson I was referring to his clean vocals. The screams are done by the guitarist for eidola, Matt Dommer.

[@KillAllTheSpiders]

John Kuchler Oh, I see. Really wish Spotify would cover lineups and works of bands on a larger scale than what the current app features. I suppose that'll teach me for commenting on a band I haven't looked over on wikipedia.

[@TheAlejo0119]

Where can I find the song? I can only find your cover and Tim's. Awesome job as always!!

[@Mikerisms]

alejandro jimenez I don't think it's public on KZbin yet. I got it from a link on the singer's Facebook page. Check them out on Facebook and you'll find it.

[@onlyforyou101]

I feel the guitarist for the band is a fan of every time I die. I got a turtles all the way down kind of vibe at first :). Mike you're amazing. Not just your skill but your personality comes off amazing as well :) have you done variation by dgd?

[@Mikerisms]

david nunez Yeah there is a certain ETID quality to some of the riffs. Thanks a lot dude 😀 I've not but every single DGD song is on my list so it'll get done eventually!

[@oscarnavarrete4728]

Hi mike, have you thought of doing some circa survive videos? Love your videos man

[@themikehypothesis]

oscar navarrete sovereign circle would be GAS!!

[@oscarnavarrete4728]

themikehypothesis yeah dude i love the guitar work in that song

[@chrissyalexyanez7397]

The tab isn’t opening in my drop box it’s showing a error wondering if anyone else is having this issue

[@sk8125]

This is fucking sick

[@boisvert813]

Dumb question here, but what's the official name for the F chord at the beginning of the chorus (1:20)? Is that just a Fmaj7?

[@Mikerisms]

Daniel Boisvert Yeah it's an Fmajor7.

[@Chugs4Serotonin]

What amp will get me this tone, but still be able to play stuff heavier like periphery? I also wanna be able to get an ADTR tone. I was thinking EVH 5150III 50w, Orange Rockerverb 50w, PRS Archon 50w.

[@austinbartle3434]

Have you listened to Arch Echo yet mike? lots of amazing guitar work in every song.

[@Mikerisms]

Austin Bartle I have not, but I will now!

[@austinbartle3434]

Mikerisms hip dipper is a great one to start with. spark for some really nutty guitar work. it's hard to recommend a starting point because every song is just mastercrafter down to the last detail

[@alleycatdevil]

Hey Mike have you ever considered forming a band in this style? I think you are fantastic and you really could make it big

[@Mikerisms]

Piilot I have, I'd love the be in a band like this. But, alas, I have family and work and too much other stuff taking up all my time and money so it really can't happen ☹

[@AnthonySanchezAS]

Cover Armillaria Mellea next!

[@JandJandJandJandJ]

I WAS SCARED THEY DISBANDED I'M SO GLAD THEY'RE PUTTING OUT MORE GOOD SHIT

[@WDJess]

Could imagine you playing alongside tim to one of these songs lol

[@Mikerisms]

Well Dressed Jess Now that would be a beast!

[@LambdaComplexx]

Amazing cover as usual. :) How do you decide what songs to cover? I find myself wanting to learn a lot of different songs at the same time and can't seem to concentrate the effort on one song, and usually get tired of playing all together.

[@Mikerisms]

Lambda Complex Thanks dude 😀 I have an enormous list of songs to cover and there are a couple of ways I decide which to do. one is my Patrons on Patreon vote and whatever is voted for I cover, that's an easy one! Other than that it's whatever I'm feeling really, I generally don't take on more than two at a time and if I'm not feeling the song at the time then I don't do it. There's nothing worse than forcing a cover video, it just makes it uninspiring and flat. Go with the feels dude, it's all about the feels 😀

[@thetestwoodrapier]

Mikerisms plus some muppet feeds him new music to listen to that makes his fingers itchy...

[@Mikerisms]

Mark Johnson That's why I never get done anything I put on my list cos this penis here adds about 49 new songs to it each week. But I love him anyway 😘

[@thetestwoodrapier]

Mikerisms haha it's not my fault, band's just won't slow down!

[@Mikerisms]

Mark Johnson Bunch of bastards all of them! I've not even got to Eidola yet, I've done some Sikth though 😊 This year has been too damn good.

[@DerekD722]

you gotta check out the band Dwelling, if you haven't already. I definitely feel like you'll dig em. they only have 2 songs atm but just heard them tonight and I'm liking what im hearing.

[@DerekD722]

Also amazing cover as always👍

[@Mikerisms]

Derek Dorfmeyer Thanks man. Yeah I know Dwellings, they've been on my covers list for ages! I should bump them up!

[@thomaserak7]

yeh you should do an oranges track to man plsssssss

[@DerekD722]

^^ oranges would be sick too!

[@pachecomf]

Would be tight to see you play a dwellings song! As well as oranges, love those dudes

[@hootslar]

..... XoX Thank you for showing this band to me i've been looking for an artist with this sound and it's....perfect....kfja;slkdfj

[@JoeEmptySea]

full step down?

[@Mikerisms]

Josef Mark Yup, D standard 🙂

[@yungdookie6836]

you should deffinitley do a tutorial for this, your my guitar sensei 😂😂

[@BT13l174]

Could you a do a tutorial on its safe to to say you dig the backseat- dance gavin dance?

[@Maikeru305]

tutorial DX

[@johnsmith3085]

What is this amazing nonsense? *runs to purchase album*

[@Mikerisms]

John Smith I love this band! They only have 3 songs out and I've covered them all! They don't have a release date for the album yet, sometime in the Autumn I believe.

[@BADD2087]

woah woah woah Mike. They have 4 songs out don't sell them short. haha Great cover man

[@johnsmith3085]

Update: I've been obsessed with this band since you intro'd me with this video. I'm considering getting a rig to do some vocal covers.

[@Mikerisms]

BADD2087 Oh yeah I forgot about the split ep one. I need to cover that!

[@Mikerisms]

John Smith Man I've been obsessed with them for so long! I'm so excited their album is close to being released 😀 That would be excellent man, it love to see some vocal cover a of this stuff! Do you sing or scream? or both?
