This dude is a genius when it comes to guitar. He created a style and has expanded on it for years. I love how he is not only creating tapping riffs but now it sounds like he is harmonizing with them. So creative. I can’t wait for their new album!!!
@@mitchellchurch3385 they don't they have two guitarist for the harmonies ad one claverist ! Mike tap to recreate this typeof sound you can hear on the isis records
> be me > record the cover > upload it to youtube > 2 days later > they upload a riff rundown with Mr Sullivan playing the actual riff > facepalm at the small fails and diffs on mine Man, i think it's the second time this happens to me with RC. Anyway, big time props to their writing and music arrangement, tracking, mixing, mastering and live performance! One of my beloved bands since their early work! Can't wait to listen to this release!!
I love hearing new Russian Circles material. These riffs are pretty genial. I miss his Gibson Les Paul Customs though. I think they looked much cooler and maybe sounded better. He also used an SG and even a Lucille when I saw him live, they sounded amazing
@@Nate-tq8wu yes, i remember when he did that thing on reverb. He had an incident and hurt his back. This newer les paup style guitar must be lighter for him while retaining a les paul style
hello Mike... scale minor,fight with flat and major. can't hear the note, so ... the loop is a "unheard able" " --------------- = --------------> " #MusicTheory #RussianCircles
Holy shit. 3 strings tuned to B?! Their approach to writing music is extremely unique and different. Nice breath of fresh air in a time of shitty mainstream music.
i hate the fact he can tap like that using his middle and ring finger so he still can hold his pick. When I play harper lewis I'm only ready for the tapping part if i drop my pick ^^
"Sounds cool, doesn't it? You're wrong, it doesn't sound cool."
Hahah.

Check out Don Caballero and Hella if you've never heard them...
actually, ISIS (the band) created. it and Russian circle pushed it further, check them out !
@@TheGuizmo11 yes I’m a big Isis fan but I don’t know if they tap the way that Mike does.

that is a very beautiful intro
and it shows true creativity
man Mike owns so many Guitars
loved this very rare looking one
Educational Guitar Video. 👏
"Sounds cool, doesn't it?" Yes it does, Mike! "You're wrong, it doesn't sound cool." Oh...

Gibson's quality SUCKS!
That's just 1reason why he quit playing
them.
@@matthewpaluch777 yes they must suck pretty bad if he basically only used Gibsons for 20 years
@@TheSecondNature I think he sold some of his beautifull Gibson and stopped playing them because of the weight.

Does anybody know what finish is in that Nik Huber Orca? Maybe a Tobacco Burst?
It's copper. Like a layer of actual copper.
Is he using an effect to get that tone or just distortion? It has sort of a flange sound to me which I notice every time I hear the song
It's just harmony you are hearing maybe?
Mike is glowing in the video. And so am I.
hello Mike...
scale minor,fight with flat and major.
can't hear the note, so ...
the loop is a "unheard able"

What's the guitar and amp/ cab make?
Rick Sanchez Nike Huber Custom Orca

Nik Hubert Orca
Wish your mics weren’t over saturated here so we could here this amazing riff even better!
So unique and cool
So. Sick.
Sounds like something you'd hear right out of an 80s Nintendo game.
What's the tuning for this song?
Watch the vid, he tells you
BBEABE
why is the video doing a weird motion blur thing
because someone dosed you with acid and it's only just starting to kick in
Wow.
💜💜💜💜💜💜
is it just me or his tuneomatic on the wrong way around?
Screwheads point towards the neck, seems to be correct.
What makes you think it's wrong?
i hate the fact he can tap like that using his middle and ring finger so he still can hold his pick. When I play harper lewis I'm only ready for the tapping part if i drop my pick ^^
Hide it with your two smaller fingers. Make a pocket, that's what I do.
This guy sucks.
Just kidding. He’s awesome.
Anyone else think it was Ola Englund in the thumbnail?
No.
Stay out of my life.
