Vicarious - Tool - Guitar

[88theMole]

nice but...why the solo?!

[dylantscott]

Thanks for the video!

[james1327]

very nice.

[gawd0r]

Excellent cover, mate!

[TheBendyCam]

Good cover, except the part where you played the bass solo.

[TheMrjohhnyonthespot]

man, that ibanez sounds pretty awesome man. I have never liked these guitars myself, but yours sounds real good. Well played ,and you do a good job of replicating the album sounds. Posted a vid trying to do the same, let me know what ya think.

[keggerous]

hey ig ot the same guitar dude. just traded in my les paul and got this ibanez. the only problem witht he whole guitar seems to be the first fret. its way harder to push down then i remeber on my gibson. what bout urs? u notice any problems? maybe its my locking nut or something. i should bring it in

[Jaermal]

Nice!! You, Sir, are badass!! =D

[BaritonGuitar]

@lateralusgmod : so Adam Jones only plays one guitar? In all the songs? Hard to believe.

[MariusCOB]

@BaritonGuitar : no but he has 3 of the same silverburst les pauls

[itreanor]

what guitar u using ?

[bamatoolhead]

@itreanor its a custom made ibanez. i bought it used. whoever had it made did a damn good job though. its a sweet guitar. thanks man.

[dragosandrei]

what the fuck are you talking tool plays in Drop D it isnt low!!!

[bamatoolhead]

@dragosandrei - i was just joking man. you would think i realize that being that i can play a few Tool songs...

[nicklikesmen]

Daaaamn this is cool, I find 4:15 to be excruciating

[thISxTHplacE]

that's sick dude. good work.

[lateralusgmod]

um no. Tool Songs are mainly all in Drop D. and adam does not have a 7 string. he has a 6 string gibson les paul silverburst custom 1995

[sharkster1990]

yall are fucking retarded....its mostly bass but there is guitar in there

[ninjacobra]

Great man!

[S2KoK4RIVIAo]

ur really gettin into around 1:30 lol its all good Tool is jus a FUCKIN AWESOME BAND LIKE THAT!!!! Tool FTW

[Karikato]

great job!

4:40  damn

[crazydman1]

hey yungnome stop hating, this was valuable to me I PLAY GUITAR and just heard this song, watched this video and got a great head start on learning it, thats more than I imagine you can do....Thanks bamatoolhead

[kevintheonly96]

what tuning is it in?

[NoaTheEvil]

@kevintheonly96 It's drop D. Hope it helped, but you probably alredy know, it's been three months since you posted the comment.

[parasiticlittletick]

thats a bass solo

[CarsonHabit]

its bass and guitar. it really really is. promise. the bass is in front of the mix, but the guitar is in there, and he's playing it right.

[TheBigfan69]

yungnome@ if he started a band and they played vicarious they wood probablly get sued by tool for stealing their music.....he wanted to play vicarious, not music that he wrote

[no1nos88]

thats a fucking BASS SOLO!

not a guitar one!

[yungnome]

i dont understand why everyone posts videos of themselves playing guitar along with a cd, and people actually watch this? whats so "cool" about that? i think its pretty gay, start a fuckin band and contribute to music, other than playing along with a cd, and call it a "cover", then upload it. what is the world coming to?

[crazydman1]

your an idiot

[ImaPirate83]

@yungnome i don't understand why people take other band's music and put video to it, and people actually watch this? i think it's pretty gay, make your own videos and contribute to videology, other than making a video for another band, and call it a "music video", then upload it. what is the world coming to?

go kill yourself.

[weirdy17]

damn this is mighty fine work

[jaydh78]

its about time they make a tool guitar hero, beatles is good for tripping but tool is good too

[TheVictimsX]

NOOOOOOOOOOO

let them be the great musicians they are and not fully sell out

[jaydh78]

you've convinced me, it kinda pisses me off when everyone likes something and they know nothing about them. Like Tool Posers lol

[TheVictimsX]

lols yeah

i mean everyone has a breaking point. i think neversoft scratched tool's surface with the 3 songs they put on world tour

[flash1228]

that owned

[gregspace2]

pretty damn good bama!

[BloodCr0ss]

To get Drop D Tuning, play this until they sound the same as you tune the E string down.

when they sound the same then the E string is now a D. and there you have Drop D tuning.

E|--7

A|0

[jaydh78]

or you can pluck the d string and the big E string at same time and tune down till they equal same tone. easy way to do back to e is to pluck big D and little e until they equal same tone too

[TheDickbee]

yeah he is the man and what do all the haters play with well we all there little poppy cocks hahahahahhahahahah the dickbee

[DarthSohrahg]

Very nice.

[Vincere]

kicks ass, you nailed it!

[MetalGuitarist457]

thanks that helped

[MetalGuitarist457]

whats the tuning for this song?

[bamatoolhead]

A #. its super low but all tool songs are insanely low.

[MetalGuitarist457]

can you please tell me how to tune to a#

[sampsonz]

uhh.. what??

it's drop d tuning... E B G D A D

[bamatoolhead]

dudes i was just kidding here...come on. yes they play in drop B. and adams 7 string is always tuned backwards.

[davidson2354]

its drop d tuning... they dont play in a and adam jones doesnt use a 7 string

[KirkOmelette89]

That was awesome mate. How long have you been playing?

[USAJungleGym]

Nice freakin job brother!

Mantis

[bararistheman]

line6 sux, word. Marshall/Mesa Boogie or GTFO for stacks.

[wasitthat]

yup

[iixlateralusxii]

hey, bama, what type of guitar is that (looks like a jackson...)

[bamatoolhead]

its a custom made ibanez. it had a broken neck and was completely gutted when I got it.

[thefinnman92]

yeah Ibanez all the way!!

[milestonedd]

Killer Guitar!!!

[majnjord]

Isn't 3:49 to 4:10 played by the base? (it is in Guitar Hero, and as Tool was there and helped design their songs, that should be correct, right?)

[bamatoolhead]

yea its justin, but ya know its so much more fun to jam that part..peace

[majnjord]

Woah, I got thumbs downed like hell for that XD

I did not start listening to Tool from GH, I just meant that GH should be a reliable source since especially Adam Jones was involved in the incorporation of Tool there.

And yeh, I usually jam that part too, so I know what you're saying! ;)

[jj4091]

heh so ur a tool fan from gh?

its dragon force all over again :P

[Downtomars321]

If Tool themselves thought any less of people who had heard of them through guitar hero, then they wouldn't have helped design it. So who are you to judge; tip stop being to condescending, and lose the self-importance. :D

[majnjord]

No, I'm not a Tool fan from GH, I started listening way before GH. :)

Who are you to judge or strike me down? to paraphrase Maynard's own words.

[EvilEmpir3]

Fuck you, you aren't a real Tool fan. GTFO. Go back to your Guitar Hero, you piece of shit.

[majnjord]

What part of "I started listening way before GH." did you not read?

I'm not a real Tool fan you say? Is that because I play their songs on GH, as well as on my electric guitar, and own all their published recordings and have listened to them for many years now and know all their songs by heart?

I hope you one day meet someone who'll teach you compassion, reason and general niceness.

Good luck out there! :)

[aaws95]

don't u just hate it when someone talks to you like he know everything about u?

[majnjord]

Totally. I wonder who, let's say Maynard, would select being "the best" Tool-fan, someone who play Tool on guitar hero or someone who's an asshole commenting on youtube.

[fan4familyguy451100]

i always what played that part...it sounded like guitar but i've played that song and it wasn't included in the tabs i found for guitar

[dgrossman06]

did you use a tab? can you post it if you did?

[forevermushroom]

holy shit you nailed it, your fucking awesome

bravo!

[camindavewtf]

amazing...

[panteratripp]

fucking sick dude u nailed it!

[pink3m0kid75]

I love how you always getting into the songs you play instead of just standing like a robot. Good job man, perfect.

[ToolKid21]

hey im getting a new amp, and im thinking of the traynor YCS50H amp, which has 50 watts, is that enough for a 1700 dollars amp? wat about the line 6 spider 3 HD 150 with 150 watts, or some other amp.

The main concern i and my parents have is that we dont know if 50 watts is good enough, especially for $1,700

[fkefhu2]

i have a 75 watt spyder 3 line 6 and its amazing. it cost my 500$ brand new, 1700$ for a 50 watt traynor is insane, they're great amps but go for one of line 6's new tube amps. they're friggin sick. hope this helps

[KaulanaNauka]

ouch, my spyder3 costed 99 plus tax and ship

[ibanezmon]

that amp is a peace of shit

[evilgenius911]

dude, this was awesome. sounded alot like it.

could you write down the tabs, or something that you did and send them to me if its not too much trouble?

i want to cover this for my senior talent show thing, and the tabs im using dont sound that right to me, and are different from yours.

or if anybody could help, it would be apreciated..

[Naruwyn]

great job, it's cool that you are really in the music. That's how it should be with tool

[ondeathrow6000]

Not bad...I still think that if you used a marshall amp you would never touch another peavy again....Peavy amps always get that awful whiny sound....

[sesstreets]

Just get this guy 5k dollars to buy an all tube amp and a full stack and then we'll be all set right?

[casdell]

it sounds really good bro! kudos, the only problem is that your left hand is really stiff you should try to be a little more fluid...i noticed in your vibrato, it's a little stiff...other than that, great job, the sound is great, you nailed the notes, fairly clean too...great job

[09301966]

you nailed it nice job!!! Sounds exactly like Adam Jones.

[kawasakipolaris]

awesome

[vashkch]

awesome cover man ! rock on

[spicychicken92]

this isnt really hard to pull off at all, lmao.

i like the 11 yr old version better =/

i just think its the sound of your guitar.

:D

[TOOL2001]

i mean your being somewhat of a hater....but i agree wit ya on the guitar....more high end then anything

[bi0hazard007]

Killa!!!! I must confess, at the beginning I was a little doubtful that you would be able to pull out the whole song, however, you did a great job. You lit it up. Dig it. Way to go--SweEeEttt.

[ondeathrow6000]

use a marshall amp next time....

[ALTITUDE15]

wtf......................... bro........

[Empathic75]

Oh.. and the top three vdeos in your favs are fucking groping vids? Dude.. please, just shut the fuck up and vanish.. lmao. Silly monkeys never cease to amaze me.

[evacuatecowboys]

thank you brother ...u just solved my mysteries!!! thanks!!!!

[jcoleman0]

This is my favorite song... You killed it man. Nice job man.

[chichibucity]

nice work! not 2 much of a knuckle buster but hard as hell to figure out i would imagine, didnt think in a 10000 years it was in standard, but have never played tool b4. this will be the first tool song i atempt, thanks for inspiration!

[chichibucity]

wat a muppet was fucking around wit intro then got to verse and realised it was drop d

[ondeathrow6000]

lol you think this is hard to learn? too funny...u must be quite the amatuer...take some lessons idiot!

[Empathic75]

Please post some videos of you playing ANYTHING.. we want to learn from the master.. You fucking douche. Shut up and watch or go play.. Jackass. Love ya.

[kawasakipolaris]

nice work man

[GarageDoor18]

are you using delay or reverb in the intro because i can't get it to sound right

[bamatoolhead]

I played this version without any delay or reverb. I think Adam does use a bit of delay in the intro and a couple other times throughout the song. And for the record, this is not played exactly like Adam plays it. But @ the time, I hadn't seen him play it, and I also picked it out by ear so it wouldn't be perfect. Thanks everyone for rating this the top vicarious cover. Any other requests?

[frogswallop]

Can you do Parabol/Parabola? And what Guitar are you using, it would help my current search for a decent super strat - Cheers

[nendokan]

I'm laso a budding Tool fan. OUt of the many interpretations of Vicarious, yours is the best. Fanstastic! "God dam shit the bed!"

[rosenater]

well done, bro..and i'm in a tool cover band, you do this more accurately than i do i think. I do a few different chord voicings, but yours are more true to the original. nice!

[ryos]

well done.

[KorokoMaoriBoy]

Fucking awesome!

[makiney13]

fucking amazing bro!!

[gusso56]

Mate, that was awesome. Keep up the good work. VERY IMPRESSED!

G

[viksviks1224]

i wish you had this tabbed! =P

[sgtrunner]

getchyou some effects pedals to clone closer, heh...peace, keep exploding with sound!

[fishyellis]

i play the intro a bit differently (and more simply), but i doubt i could play the song that well. definitely a nice job!

[toolkitty]

Just another sweet performance.

[dragnmastr521]

dood...that was crazy. wat gear u using?

[Babagirls]

you gave this girly chills ;-) That was so sick!! *thumbsup*

[Khyling]

Sweet..

[thedeadserv]

AWESOME DOOD! 5STARZ! you should go over my profile and check mine. I've got a bunch of Tool songs and shit! make sure you comment and rate! ROCK ON!

[Xtremeboarder16]

[ToolKid21]

[kukuk24]

[hyukwonkwon]

[Zimo8585]

[coreydm1969]

Fuckin' wicked! Impressive!

[sunnyelaine999]

Excellent!!! Makes me want to go get a guitar and start learning.

[Johnsturf]

You are amazing ! Nice job ! I'm just a beginner and watching that makes me want to practice more and more.

[DeathBySexy89]

WELL DONE!!!

[king198]

well played dude

[bamatoolhead]

Just posted an updated version of Vicarious. Much more accurate.

[chrisnchenell]

We saw Tool at the Beuelle Theater with 2200 of our closest friends a year ago May in their warm up tour. We just can't look at seeing them the same again. We didn't even bother to go to them on the actual tour. You are really bad ass man!! Any chance you got tab to that beginning?

[guitarfreek9]

fuck man! thats fucking amazing. how long youve been playing?

i love tool, im seeing them on june 27th.

later

[bamatoolhead]

Wow! I really appreciate the positive feedback. Saw them sat. may 26th in bham. We got Pushit! Will be in atlanta june 4th. can't wait

[gebachin]

Woooooooow...put ur pants down maaan...that was so awesome, I'm serious, U play 2 fuckin goooood

[Jayjay38]

Very, very, very, very nice job, man ! Awesome, fabulous, marvellous Tool cover. The best I've ever seen. Congratulations !

[atomicwave]

GREAT JOB! Can i please get tabs man? that was superb

[bamatoolhead]

I don't have any tabs. This one and the other Tool songs, I figured out by listening closely (over and over), and then attempt to play as accurate as I can. Would a slow tutorial be helpful? I will post a more accurate version soon. Thanks!

[757330]

Awesome...friggen awesome.

[thudunder]

awesome job man!

thats such a great song.

just one thing I noticed you did wrong:

at about 4:14 you have to do a

0h3h5 up to the lower note you were playing

listen to the track you can hear it.

good job though! 4 stars

[bamatoolhead]

Thanks dude. There definitely is no 0h3h5 @ 4:14. However the 0h3h5 is played, starting @ 4:32 on D and A, which is very audible. I will most definitely re-record this track soon, with a more accurate version. Appreciate the intrest.

[Tabasco91]

really great dude, freakin kool

[nellings6]

awesome dude, & u even tuned it into low d, unlike every1 else that does a cover.

[DurkabaJung]

great man, absolutely fantastic

[bamatoolhead]

thanks dude. I will post a more accurate version soon and also a tutorial for the intro.

[killzy]

could possibly message me the intro? I could do the entire song but can't figure out the intro. :/

[MJK3000]

Wow, that was amazing, I'm rally impressed. I wish i could play guitar like you. i need to practise more and more. For 10.ooo Days.

[Niff2]

no dude, it's a bass solo. i saw it live, twice. it's justin's bass fuzzed to hell trem picked and all played on the g string.

[bamatoolhead]

I suppose I stand corrected. I haven't seen them live on this album. My bad c4. I'm glad you liked the way I rearranged. lol Definitly not the first time I've been fooled by TOOL.

[Niff2]

hope i didn't come off as harsh or anything :P but yeah, it's kinda hard to tell if it's guitar or bass when justin has his proco RAT on.

[bamatoolhead]

Not at all. And you're right, it is hard to distinguish the bass from guitar in this particular solo.

[FChavez82]

Good job...I liked it, keep it up

[matthew691]

giday mate you wouldnt have the tabs (for the intro atleast)finding it hard to find a accurate version on the net regards matt.

[bamatoolhead]

I don't have tabs, but will try to put some together soon. I picked out these Tool songs completely by ear(note to readers: I don't claim 100% accuracy). There is actually one note I want to change in the intro which I played incorectly and I will try to repost an updated version of this song soon.

[C4Shadow]

Awesome cover..love the way you turned the bass tremelo picking solo into a guitar one lol

[Stumpasaurus]

Excellent mate, I love this song and you did a great job at covering it. Look forward to seeing more.

[rickyjb06]

That was brilliant, by far the best version of that iv seen on youtube. Looking forward to more

[JizzExplosion]

Diggin' it man, I'm gonna go check out your other vids and have a taco, very sweet
