my favorite thing about covers on youtube is comments lol. there is always a retard asking for tabs, as lazy as they are for using tabs they somehow cant go on google and type in a song name with guitar tab written after it. its always funny when people say your playing the song wrong cause thats not the same position the original guitar player uses. same notes DUR. the cover was terrible though,i felt like my ear is an infant and Micheal Jackson resurrected and raped it.practice before you pos
I'm sorry, but that just wasn't very good. I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, the melody was there in some parts, but the execution was all wrong. I applaude you for trying, Tool can be a beast, Adam is from another world for sure, but this cover was not even close.
well of course it's not close thats why it's a "cover" and i'm not adam so of course it's gonna be different this is NOT how he plays it at all this is how "I" play it and if you would of read the description, I've taken alot of ways to play it and mixed it into one and I put the lil intro thing
you are a moron ghostface13, have you never heard of artistic interpretation, its often time much more difficult than copying exactly. besides if we wanted to hear it exactly the way it was originally played we would listen to tools version since it already exists....
hmm..well thats interesting way to play it...needs a little more power..you know... you need to hit higher register on that high intro note....but you know...sounds cool! :)
this is pretty good effort i thought. obviously its not tool, which i think some of these peopel below can't quite grasp, that you arn't adam from tool and that only he knows how to play his own song properly. but i quite enjoyed it even though i am a massive tool fan =P
but, you tricked me! i was looking for someone to help me get the bass to sound right. all tabs and that i've looked at all look good but having trouble playing it in a way that sounds like the record. as said b4: rock on!
Bands like Staind don't deserve to cover Tool songs. And Rioth87, I agree that people should appreciate good music more, but leave it to the songqriters. chexmix, I respect that you took the time to learn this song, but that's something you just keep to yourself. Good try
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Actually it was too danged tinny.. and Aaron Lewis is a douche. He did not do sober justice. No one can do Tool real justice. Sorry but get a new hobby, maybe try doing staind covers.. wait.. Staind only does covers.. yea.. sorry.. well stay away from tool covers.
Awesome! Thnx for a great opportunity to learn a great song! Love your interpretation on how to play it, and its much better then what I managed alone. Don't mind the idiots who clearly can't appreciate good music, and who talk trash. You rock on mate, and keep posting new vids it u ever find the time to tab out other cool songs.
To badmonkey91 i think your always gonna be out numbered on this one! You say ->
"""sing it..or atleast get a singer(Noone comes to "I play guitar covers alone gigs,"""
The thing you'll notice about most tool songs (actualy the thing you havnt noticed!) is that you CAN listen to just the guitar! I would go to a one man gig just playing acoustic versions of tool songs (WITHOUT A SINGER!!!!) btw chexmix222 nice one man!!!
badmonkey91...I want you to try and make a video like this. I have seen what artists on youtube like SCOverstreet and chexmix222 are capable of. Their videos are amazing. See if yours is any people post these because they can, and they deserve to be recognized. you should not even be posting if you have nothing to really comment about except your personal beliefs.
to badmonkey91...well if you must know this is a site where you can put videos of anything from blowing a balloon up to microwaving a kids toy and there pointless but this video has merit it shows how "I" play this song acoustic in which others can use this to play at they're gig and if you would read the description you'll learn I have a singer and posted a link where you can find the tabs I've written; I was gonna remove your comment but I want others to see what a jackass you are
to badmonkey91...hey bloke nevermind what is the point of chemix posting his video on youtube (a site to post random videos on)...why did you bother to write your whiny life story about how you hate it? you must be one lonely sad person
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Sorry but I have to be the voice of reason.
Why did you post this, or even, why did you bother to make this video? Past the "GUITARS R KOOL" attitude, this has no point other than that you want people to post "UR SO COOL". Not to pointlessly be harsh, but if you want to accomplish something instead of wasting time write your own music, and sing it..or atleast get a singer(Noone comes to "I play guitar covers alone" gigs, and frankly people feel bad for those)
maybe u get your brain going before starting to judge other ppl on youtube.
chexmix actually did a cool cover of the song AND posted the tabs for it for other people to learn it. if you don't want to pay some respect then at least shut up, and post your crappy comments on your own videos!
You don't have a "voice of reason" whatsoever. All you have is snobbery. You sure as hell shouldn't be trying to take credit for 'other poeple's thoughts' or value in someone eles's 'accompishments' . . period . . with a dot.
Not to say that someone else won't come along and bad mouth this guy's video, but this is clearly YOUR opinion . . and your opinion only. And as far as I'm concerned, your comment was a waste of time.
Ok, Ok... We understand that you have to be "Voice Of Reason" to think you are special, but he is not trying to get Oh your so cool postes he probably showing he can play guitar man...come on...And you had to say I play guitar gigs and shit like that..Are you trying to get man you are so cool shit also? man your being the one whos wanting attintion..I though he did a good cover and hes a great guitar player..!
lol not sure it was just a $300 guitar but its fun to play :) and that sound is from my power mixer it has a lil reverb in it; so it dose sound like a 12 string
ohh thats pretty cool, and hey i got my acoustic for free lol, i need a new one though.
oh and i finally realized why i thought the strings were so close lol, at that angle the edge of the fretboard looks like another string lol. hah i need to look closer before i open my mouth :x
hey bro i really think this virsion of "sober" is a master pieace all in it's own. i never seen anyone play quit as good as you do bro. you can really jam out. i was wondering if you knew how to play "wings for maria" from the "10,000 days" album.
Its a cheap ass Ibanez lol acoustic/electric for bout 300 bucks its the new 07 model which has the on-board tuner which its cool; it was a package deal with a gig pack and case i did some small mods like loosened the neck and changed and lowered the bridge and put silk on steel strings (i find sound the best)
really, thats pretty sweet. I Need a new acoustic realy bad, my other one broke, but that one was really cheap, like $100 at guitar center, but it worked for me (for a while, like 3 years)
Thanks; um I was gonna try and write the tabs but i never really tab a song out; its mainly just alot of different versons off of ultimate guitar site I've added the lil intro which is the "breakdown" part in the song added some soft harrmonics and a I play the 2nd verse a lil different but i'll try to tab it out
well I found the tabs for the eletric guitar a while ago, then recently aaron lewis played it acoustic so I tab the way he plays it and then i've added the lil intro thingy and made some other stuff up and came up with this btw I play this with a friend of mine and it sounds better :)
Dig it bro. Keep it up. I liked the timing....
