Lateralus - Tool Cover

[RightinTwo94]

Wow man, you've probably been asked this before but could you tab this? It's amazing!

[BartmanS4]

Great Job! This really makes me appreciate Adam Jones as a guitarist more. I think he tends to get overlooked somewhat. Of course with Tools rhythm section it not that surprising.

[namzop]

Dude, that was awesome, but that mistake at 3:32 messed you bad. I sang the whole way through that shit!

[supremebeing87]

Beautiful.

[MechanixRage]

Sweet!

[TokioGuitar]

tabs

[arsenalgunner01]

Woaaaaaaaah! That's an amazing cover! :D

[Bazgann]

dude u got my guitar ;D

[rdaidsicoghoelafd]

cool cover

[Heinousness]

wish you sang the whole song, even if you had to whisper. this was badass man

[TokioGuitar]

Yea ur intro is way better 

[GuitarKylePlays]

Dude.. you're really someone to look up to. And I bet if Mr. Jones watched this, he'd be like: *Face palm* "Why didn't I write it like that??"

[Techiesguy1234]

please make a lesson on how to play this! great job on the cover:)

[AimlessAbyss]

Very nice, dude! I love that it's an acoustic interpretation, not just the regular electric guitar tabs.

[chanoom]

Hey man. Been watching this and messing around with my acoustic bass. Would be cool to maybe do a duo vid kinda thing. Nice work. Peace!

[pastorofmuppets17]

que pasa ramon?

[GuitarKylePlays]

MY GOD MAN! There's something large and horrible coming out of your ear!

Haha, kidding. Love the cover, best acoustic Tool cover I've heard.

[0506thekid]

[FrozenDX]

[utubetool]

HOLY SHIT THATS BADASS

[ZiAnticipateZ]

frigging awesome cover! I'm nowhere close to your skills but I'm trying...

P.s. Same guitar :D

[JohnieFL]

I thought you were going to sing. but i really enjoyed it anyway :)

[JohnieFL]

I'm gonna comment at the start saying i'm very excited to hear this as it's probably my favourite tool song, and then get back to you at the end. but you're playing is already excellent

[sockenfrank]

great.

[RJmacpot720]

1337 haxor

Badass with doin the vocal melody during the first part of that verse shit. Thanks.

[TenDollarMic77]

thank you very much... there is a youtuber named benjaminjammin who recorded his part with mine in the background, its even better than just mine, you should check it out

[T00Lology100]

That was really good dude. I guess you really like the middle and ending vocals, you really got into that, sick man

[antibanez]

[ginmei]

[7bird66]

[911TOOL]

[TheBlizzard90210]

Pro.

[Justacoustic79]

[cjmcallister89]

very cool cover man

[poopnockr]

really nice job man

[elite128]

beautiful man, got goosebumps in the beginning and a lil teary

[psystar420]

thank you!

[okandrew42903]

3:05-3:18 My favorite part. Awesome job man.

[theishjort]

if you toke theses rings off it would be more than perfect now its perfek 5 stars:P

[lilmommax]

freakin awesome!!!

[fireballjrb]

sounds like this just make me wish tool would do a MTV unplugged lol. it would be so diferent, but for sure amazing! this guy here is AMAZING! i love how he took such a great song and made it acoustic and his own, now thats talent! bet Tool would be proud...

[bubbagibbs24]

well as for mikeodo down here....Improvision is creativity. if maynard heard you spew such ignorance he would unravel your weak, faith-based reality. I would take it upon myself to explain the dynamics of this song but I am afraid I would not do it justice, and you would probably walk away with the same superficial understanding that you obviously had while posting your comment.

...and to the gut who just played that shit... it rocked. im gonna watch it again. keep it up bro. ride the spiral

[poobustank]

as i watch this i just think to myself "yes! yes! Dont stop rockin'!"

[mikeodotopsp]

i just went back and read everyones comments lol sorry for mine being so harsh it didnt sound "shitty" I just dont like that much impravision. like i said more difficult doesnt always sound better.

[mikeodotopsp]

more difficult doesnt always sound better. nobody ever seemed to understand that. he really made my favorite tool song sound shitty. you cant really impravise in tool songs anyways because theyre all so intra-kit. they just sound awsome the way they were made back in the studio in the hands of ..T.o~o.L..

[poobustank]

uhhh... yeah, anyway....

[burnndogg]

hard on the ring finger gotta toughen it up lol

[burnndogg]

tank you, thank you, thank you, thank you this is the shit there is a god

[Newman12341]

i cant belive im typing this but ur intro is probably better than the original...acoustic wise...

[GuitarKylePlays]

@Newman12341 In general, not acoustic wise.

[AdamLovesSophie]

wow man that was intense

[pwalejandronm]

ta hiper wna pana, pero le jue mal en un toq al inicio de la rola, pero nadie es perfecto!!

[trauma71982]

these videos are awesome great covers man

oh yeah and if all you people want tabs just watch and listen its not hard to figure out by watching him play and listen to parts of song and match them up with how he sounds easy as pie

[gabbyvieyra]

i know that you said to watch but i cant figure them out can you give me them?

[TenDollarMic77]

which part do you want to know?

[nedak]

god I wish you had tabs. lol

[purefites]

dude, could you possibly make some Tabs?

[drrojas]

YEAH I AGREEEE!!!! WE NNED SOME TABS BRO!!! this is too good.

[gulrezm]

cmooooon man dont worry about your woman in the next room fuckin YELL THAT SHIT. REACHIN OUT TO EMBRANCE THE RANDOM

[TenDollarMic77]

ha ha ha thats what i was worrying about, she was already bitching cause it was 2 in the morning! thats funny

[GuitarKylePlays]

@TenDollarMic77 Women shouldn't bitch when it comes to Tool.

[gulrezm]

holy shit that is tight

[Cadbury102]

Man that's fantastic!!

[stinkfister4]

that was amazing!!!! thats a really cool pick

[Hectorenzo]

really good :) im starting to play with the guitar acoustic ... some1 can help how to play tool stuff? from lower lvl ...msg me

[TenDollarMic77]

let me know how i can help

[Hectorenzo]

i need simplest tabulature for tools songs like lateralus

[breakinknucklesruler]

best acoustic tool cover ive heard so far cool shit

[RubberBandit1015]

good shit

[BagpipeHustler]

wow, i really dig your stuff. that's amazing. keep it up, i mean that.

[Texasredfish5114]

nice! 4 stars..

[joen25]

freaking awesome

[liljoe085]

i wouldnt say i entirly agree with h3llb3ast beneeth me tbh, i think you do a great cover man, i suscribed to your vids just there, keep it up

[h3llb3ast]

man, it sounds like you have someone in the next room that you dont want to have hear you singing. Go all out on that shit, the lack of power in the vocals for a tool cover will definatly destroy it. I'm not bashing, but giving constructive critisism.

[Kotakai]

I watched this a long time ago and didn't really get to finish the whole thing so here I'm back again. Amazing cover, I've played guitar for quite some time and I'm a defender of ya, do you have any music of your own that you've recorded??

[kazumawarren]

amazinng

[holley69]

i have those isolation head phones. they are killer.

[holley69]

and you are the reason why tool fans have a bad rep. Awesome cover, bad ass man.

[yushu11]

damn, this a kickass version of an already kickass song, awesome job dude, damn creative

[stinkf1st]

gregnar, hes putting in the drumline, thats why it sounds diff. Listen to the song bud.

[BLDMLN1007]

this guys bettern you, believe it bro.

[weeno310]

he's fucking awesome peeps..

the song is so fun to play and is especially fun to improvise..

suuuuure you can be accurate and play the song as it is on the cd, but where's the skill in that? who wants to keep seeing the same thing over and over on youtube.. it's all about being original and adding your own touch.. props to TenDollarMic77, awesome vid!

[btmzx]

I love playing this song acoustically. It's awesome. And this is certainly amazing. 5*

[PootyG]

the people criticizing him don't even know how to play guitar

[w04xam]

until you post a video of urself playing laterlaus any better on guitar, shut the fawk up ^^

[iwbtssothy]

great!!!

[ppthakral45]

awesome!!

[melliebourgeois109]

i cant believe what people are rating him . omg. do you even listen to tool !?

[lateralusgmod]

right he sucked

[Ilisity]

yeah , but maybe we're rating his skilled guitaring and not comparing him to tool

[melliebourgeois109]

yeahh.. never thought of that. lol

[xrtgx22]

that was amazing. :']

[lilbuns777]

wow.wow.wow.wow.

[ThenextJohnnyCrack]

Greetings brother.. started learning your awesome version of this tune. Kinda stuck at 01:45sec .. when the vocals come in ( "black then white are...." ) .. Noticed you were playing around the 10th and 12th fret of the A string. please help me with that bit bro when you get a chance (01:45 - 02:10), thank you

[TenDollarMic77]

it is on the 10 and 12, all you have to do is listen to maynards voice, and match the notes, its not hard, just watch my hands, and keep droning the dropped d in between notes... let me know if that helps

[ihserik]

good god, that was mind blowing...so good

[thedeadserv]

aren't you the dood who made that over the internet cover with another dood. then again maybe he used your video on his... lol... make a search for "lateralus" its a dood sitting on a chair in front of a PC (you see him and the PC sideways).

good work here. go over my profile and check my version.

[bigshroom714]

he sucks at playing it but i love tool

[BlankProduction]

that was phenomenal. i don't know what else to say. i saw them live exactly one week ago and i don't know what was more impressive: your rendition of this song or theirs. keep this stuff up. seriously...

[thedannyarmstrong]

My favorite band... one of my favorite songs by Tool and of all time... Ffreaking kickass cover... What else can I say? It's awesome!

-Danny

[assdsw]

i've been watching a lot of your videos and they're really good. I think this is the best. I've been trying to figure out how you play this. You should have like a lesson on it or something. haha. but nevertheless, bad ass dude.

[assdsw]

this is really fucking good man. i really can't say more. i like what you did with it. I thought some of your interpretations of the song were better actually.

[fluxio]

cool, makes me fly

[allnewcliche]

I think that's the first time I've listened to the full version of Lateralus. (I have a short attention span.) Great stuff.

[paddywhack69]

Tool is great in that its heavy but also melodic and well written enough to be played acoustically and sound like it was written for the acoustic.

[Reaper441]

Dude, this was truly an awesome cover of the song bro.

Great job man.

[jamie101robbins]

Acoustic?

[Jaysecter]

This stuff sounds so damn good! Excellent sound!

[Ezechiel91]

Ohmygod, you're giving me the shivers! Ah serious goosebumps, u rock!

[TenDollarMic77]

thanx man... good to feel appreciated!!

[herbnut462]

Absolutely Fantastic. You have a great deal of talent to complement your good taste in music :)

A buddy of mine did Jambi once on Acoustic + Singing ...it was amazing. I keep bugging him to play it again so I could hear it. Hint?

[ThenextJohnnyCrack]

wicked playing man...big fan of urs....was wondering if u had lateralus tabbed out for the accoustic version u play ?

[TenDollarMic77]

not yet, but if you can play, Jambi, and are familiar with hou to do rakes, you should have no problem ! ask if you have any questions i can help with!

[ekesone]

chingon!!1

[al9er1]

and the singing, nice!

[al9er1]

amazing, u ahve every detail down, good job!

[driveutwo]

dude i play bass and you kick ass nice job great playing emotion and the singing gives it that extra edge keep it up nice all around keep rocking!!

[SireGreat]

I think you should really try to let all the notes ring in the intro there, it would make a huge difference IMO.

[TenDollarMic77]

ill try it! i m going to post it again

[ebluecum]

great man.. disappointed though not to hear that solo in the middle..

[TenDollarMic77]

i dont wanna let youdown... ill post it again...

[Aranman16]

I like your stuff, man...just don't always like the extra flash you throw in.

I'm working on an acoustic version of No Quarter as we speak...I'd like to see your take on that, with all the extra notes you love to add in. It could be interesting.

[TenDollarMic77]

thanks, with the acoustic, its almost nessary to throw a little pinoche, and at times, yes a but much, but it is a lot of power to try to harness!!!, never really cared for their No Quarter, its good, i just am a led zep fan also, and appreciate their take on it, but i will give it a whirl>>>

[benblu]

watching n posting - like the spanish 123's i'm hearing @ the beginning - really nice cover-TOOL rocks - good palm muting and the lyrical singing of the guitar - really nice - acoustic on tool is hard enough to say much less do - good job!

[TenDollarMic77]

thanks, it was the first time i tried it, anything you'd like to hear?

[lethaltube]

can u send tab ?

[lateralus12345]

r u groing a pinch there little buddie??? I know i am and good job as always, i absolutly enjoy listening to ure vids. Keep em coming.

[TenDollarMic77]

right on my brotha! jambi???

[thepot23]

ohhh first to comment..well..same old..purely amazing

[TenDollarMic77]

thanks brotha! first time like that, i think you can tell!!lol
