"7empest" from Tool's "Fear Inoculum" album (2019).
pff.. what song.. Although it's not my favourite from Fear Inoculum, I can happily announce that this is one of the most difficult and draining songs I've ever played in my life. That riff in the middle doesn't feel logical and goes on for 4-5 minutes... I zoned at some point which is why I missed the 8-8-10-10 transition at some point. But yeah, what song... Culling Voices next I think. Oh by the way, you can count those long notes (10:25) like 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-½. Sure you could count to 10 and a half, but 7 usually fucks up the counting in my head.
Some important information that nobody is going to read.
Tuning : D-A-D-G
Artist : Tool
Bassist : Justin Chancellor
Album : Fear Inoculum (2019)
Song : 7EMPEST
Bass : Warwick GPS Corvette 5A Ash

Alternate title: "Man tries to play the same odd-timed bassline for nearly 5 minutes without going crazy"
yeah I lost it like 20 times, doesn't help that I wanna hum to the nice guitar riffs in the back XD
Tool teaches you patience
The patient
Been struggling to figure out the time signature of that section for months. I figured it was 21/8 time but there is something very elusive about the groove... The way you have it written out makes it make more sense.. Such a cool riff for being only four notes!
It's those two 12's
Imagine how long Justin played that groove so Adam could write a 6 min solo 🤘😎🤘
Poor guy..
Hahaha it’s def a sick riff, but playing it forever with no fills or any changes gets old fast... but that’s why we play bass right!? Just groove in a pocket so the guitarist can shine
y'all bassists are the glue that holds us guitarists together, haha 🤘
Lol Justin wrote the solo I’m pretty sure
@@MIXTAB1 I kinda don't get the no fills thing though. It doesn't fit with Tool's normal style. Some slight variations would make a world of difference for that sequence. Instead it just feels kind of...traditional?
These vids have made me realize just how creative of a player Justin is
I love how meticulous you are with the rhythm, the timing, the music, the roots, the 5ths, you know what you are doing in Drop D... your tabs are better and more accurate and awesome than any website, you are the greatest source of Tool/Bass music outside of JC.
Thank you so much!
@@LeoBassCovers2 YO I SAW YOU WRING YOUR RIGHT HAND IN PAIN AT THE END!!! I FEEL YOUR PAIN.... ALL THOSE 16th NOTES ON THE D HAHAHAH (nailed it tho)
Was so glad it was over haha, what song..
I feel i must say, tooltabs.net are pretty spot on for Tool and have been for a long time. They put a lot of effort into it. idk if they have the new stuff tho. Having said that, LeoBassCovers DEFINITELY deserves his props, i think he is equally as spot on, plus he has the new stuff :)
He knows the flat 6th well too
I bet the one thumbs down is from Chancellor himself, you missed half a note somewhere.
Great cover
Must be him..
Justin is a merciless god
You are a legend dude. I only play bass for about 3 years now, so I guess I still am a newbie, but I can't figure out how to play Pneuma! Really weird rythm. Love the álbum and your videos, keep them coming
Thanks you very much! I will cover Pneuma.
Man, I started my journey with bass 8 years ago, got brain-destroyed by Justin, learned these lead bass lines. But only 1 month ago I learned The Grudge. I have never tough in the past, that I will be able to understand this song. This band is constantly giving something some good things to musicians.
I've been playing guitar for years and recently picked up a Bass. To be fair it's not that complicated, the hard part is, like you said, the timing.
This and Pneuma are my favorites
This one's a LOT of people's favorite song of the new album. Definitely a throwback to their older sound! Nice job Leo!
Thanks as always! I think it's either 7empest or Invincible for most people.
@@LeoBassCovers2 I would agree
Some of the riffs in this song were written during their early days and finally used in this, that's why it feels throwback
It's my favorite song on the album. Trying to learn it right now. Pretty fun to play!
@@LeoBassCovers2 I like 7empest
that groove that starts at 3:48 is one of the best riffs justin has ever written
The hand shake and the end shows how tough this is. Legendary skills mate.
Thanks man :)
I love how the best tool songs to me are kind of Justin and Danny vs Adam vs maynard. If that makes sense? I just think the drummer and bass have such a deep musical connection.
Drums are full rhythm and bass is a hybrid instrument sharing the responsibilities of rhythm and also melody, there is definitely overlap within the two instruments for sure, I've played both two and they both feel like I just described.
I love how you slided so cleanly into the open 0 riff at 8:49. So clean and amazing!
CANT WAIT FOR PNEUMA AND INVINCIBLE(esp that chill bassline with delay at 2:12... haha you know)
Fantastic job. I'm not a bassist, but I love your videos showing what is "under the hood" w Justin's work.
Thank you :)
3:50 - 8:50
Genius bass composition...
holy shit what a marathon. with that damned 13/8 ... plays tricks on your brain. I can groove it and then I lose it and then I get it and then I lose it.. . This is why I love Justin. (also Leo)
It really is.. 10 minutes of intense focus.
Fear Innoculum is my favorite Tool album. I think their songwriting has improved. The skill in structuring long songs and keeping them interesting....phenomenal.
Absolutely love fear inoculum, although I do feel they were at their best at lateralus. Just my opinion anyway
Tool is not to be messed with on the Bass indeed! Really awesome interpretation and accuracy!
Hi
@@LordSesshomaru584 Why hello there.
@@LordSesshomaru584 Greetings, Doomer.
@@CC-ks3tj Hi
I love the bass foreshadowing for adams guitar riffs so much its like 3 or4 times where Justin starts playing adams riffs before he does...so super smooth :O
But when they finally play the same riff together, it always sounds like the heaviest thing on earth..
This is clearly Adam's song
That bass sound amazing
You have an exceptional ear for music.
Thank you :)
When you shook your hand out at the end!!😂 I was doing the same thing
the shake of your right wrist at the very end! awesome endurance my man to play that, well done!
Thank you!
And I thought some Metallica songs where a workout!! Can't wait to see this performed live!
i find it so hard to find that 4/4 - 13/8 part rhythm but holy crap its satisfying when i do
That is a torturous endurance test of alternate picking as noted by the hand shake out at the end 😂 Another job well done sir. Glad you’re still putting vids out and the music people haven’t wacked you yet
Great job as always! It's a toss up between this song and Invincible for my favourite song in the album, though all of them are great. Keep it up!
Thanks as always. They're all great indeed..
Have you seen them live this tour yet? Invicible was my favourite song live... but the whole album is great, can't choose a song
I have! Descending was soooo heavy live...
Toss between Pneuma, Descending, Culling Voices, and this for me...
Damn the whole album is amazing
It sure is!
Fantastic job as always, Leo.
For those that are saying Justin's bass doesn't 'stand out' here (or anywhere in the album), what the fuck does that even mean? I'd rather have the bassist hold down the foundation of the song and anchor everything in place, in service of the intended feel and sound of the track, instead of having him compete with the others and end up with everyone overshadowing everyone else.
We're not dealing with a funk band here. 😂
Amen.
World record of writing a song of 15 min. in such a short time, and be able to record a video playing.
Wow man great job, you killed it!
Seems like Justin really embraced the backbone/glue with this song, enforcing both adam and danny at different times, and keep the core of the song while they go ham.
Thanks! Really does look like it, although I don't mind at all.
Exquisite mate. Just fabulous. You just picked that shit up in 48 hours. Sick man.
My Favorite song from the Album .Awesome cover thank you
To put this together so quickly from the album drop date is amazing! Always loved the bass riffs of Tool for their off timing, so fun to play!
Amazing cover and badass song!!!
LOVE IT! You are the master, I am but a mere apprentice. My play-by-ear skills are limited so I am ever grateful for these.
This seems relatively straightforward as far as Tool basslines go but my God this track is so good - I must learn it.
The king of bass. Youre a huge motivation for me :)
You are the man, Leo!
This song is so sick and you did a fantastic job, dude! That tone!!!
Thanks a lot man!
I was 700th like. Power of 7's, baby!
Awesome dude...you nailed it and you make it look easy
Just fantastic dude. Great wirk on this. Always a treat to watch your videos. I learn so much
Thank you so much!
Dude your videos are great! I'm a huge fan of Tool and a learning guitarist... your videos are definitely helping me! Thank you!
No problem man! Keep having fun :)
This man should have more subs. So talented!
Thank you so much!
@@LeoBassCovers2 np!
Dude, this is really awesome !!!
Jesus man, you deserve a medal for going through this prog insanity without fucking up, absolutely insane!
Nailed it like a boss!!
You are the real MVP. Your TOOL videos are the best tabs/tutorials around. Thanks.
Thank you!
@@LeoBassCovers2 No, no, thank you.
Impeccable
Awesome job!
Wonderful cover 👍
Dude how the f*** do you get material down so fast?
Bass 'bot
If you constantly train your ears to play by ear and study the fretboard while figuring things out by ear, these songs are no problem, the time signatures and riff structures are what are difficult to nail perfectly. Play by ear way more dude you'll thank yourself for it in the long run. You'll be able to play other instruments more easily as a result !
damn that was lightning fast..bass cover in 1 day or less lol..you are the man.. thank you sir...
Brilliant dude just feckin brilliant
This is awesome!
You did it again Leo 🤯
AND HE"S BACK!!! Sweet!!
My goodness..... quick as a pick. Great work.
Thank you :)
fantastic bass riff i
Thanks so very much my dude!
Awesome job Man!!
Thank you!
Dude the information you mentioned down there are the most information I like to read. I am learning this song and dude this is really challenging. I came here to cheat a bit. Guilty as charged :-)
Holy cow, you’re quick with the upload
Thanks so much. Now that I SEE IT. I believe I can. Play it!!
You got this!!
You Maniac! You already mastered this one! 😳 As always, killer cover for a killer song ! 7empest sounds like Undertow + 10 000 days under steroids 💪
It really does!
Never a dull moment with TOOL, great job !!!!!!
Bedankt Rik!
Te amo tio Leo❣🔥
I don't know why, but that ending gets me emotional every time
Well Done!!!
Insane!
Excuse me while I pick up my jaw off the floor... AGAIN. 👏👏👏
You're sick my brother 😅 Seriously, you're amazing, great job... Greetings from Caracas, Venezuela.
Thank you, Marcos!
Dude you and Davie 504 are my favorite bassists for sure.
Never fail. You are the f#cking man!
👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻Thank you sir!!!
Tool is my absolute favorite band to Jam along with. I'm glad I found your channel dude! 23 year bass vet here. Put it down for quite a few of the recent years. Had to sell most of my stuff like 8 years ago :( Some thing spurred me a couple weeks ago to get my setup back and make a comeback. Spector Euro5-lx Translucent Black Stain Matte. Sexiest bass I've ever seen in my life and its mine. Svt3 and my old rare ampeg 4x8 cab(No way I was going to sell that). 8" bass speaks are punchy AF. Sry for my rant..just wanted to tell another badass bassist about my shit. HAHA! Cant wait to use your channel to nail some stuff. SUBBED
Thanks man! I don't know a lot about the technical stuff behind basses and amps, but that does sound pretty impressive. And that is one sexy bass..
Well played dude. Much respect. Do you mind sharing your pedal and amp setup please. thanks so much for posting this video.
Good song. Not even in my top 10 favorite bass lines. Feels meh for almost 15 minutes.
Thanks for pumping this out so quick. Your cover videos are the best I see online.
Thank you very much! :)
Oh you little ripper! Thanks again mate. I know what I’m doing tonight!
Great job dude! Keep rocking the great tunes! You're awesome! :)
I noticed another way of writing the 4/4 part with combination of the 13/8 at 3:47
would be 21/8 since they are all eighth notes.
Thanks! I guess it is yeah. Both versions would make sense. Truth is, nobody is counting in this part anyway since it's so chaotic.
@@LeoBassCovers2 yeah true that! Haha lol Keep it up!
Playing D everywhere mustn't be that hard, it's the rhythm which takes you for a ride. Always the rhythms. A tempest must be just that.
Your videos are an absolute god send, I am definitely gonna contribute once them taxes hit cause dude....your videos have absolutely changed my approach and taught me so much! Legendary videos and I can't thank ya enough
Thank you so much man! I'm really glad to hear this.. :)
@@LeoBassCovers2 One more question: Do you play any tool using fingers or is it always pick? I've tried both (more of a finger style guy myself) and wondering if you had any tips on how to approach the trickier rhythms. Thanks again for the great vids, your flying whales cover is next!
I'm also more of a fingerstyle guy and I play most Tool songs without a pick in my own time. There's only one song that Justin played without a pick which is 10,000 Days pt2. I tried playing this song without a pick but it's very difficult. The faster parts are just very fast for 2 fingers. The three finger technique can be useful for it, but I find this song difficult even with using this technique. Lots of practice hm..
@@LeoBassCovers2 yeah man, i have only been playing since september so the 3 finger is quite a tricky one for me haha. Practice it is then! Appreciate ya brother!
Oh damn, that's quite a difficult to learn if you only just started.. Good luck!
You make it look so easy 😆
3:51 that rhythm is so hard to follow... But it's amazing.
Totally agree. My air bass skills are no match.
The hardest part of that riff is not losing track of what fucking measure you're in. It lasts longer than most songs. Such a good anchor in that section. I didn't even really noticed the length, when I first heard the song. Only until I saw it when the tab mapped it out. Rhythm beast.
It's not too hard if you have some counting skills. I got it down easy because I am musically inclined.
@@gredangeo I like playing that part
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 I’m getting some new strings!!!!! Sick mate.
You’re a master.
I’ve been hearing a bunch of praise for 7empest as the ultimate Tool song and haven’t heard the light yet. But your cover makes it clear it’s one of Justin’s great pieces and it’s amazing to see the interplay puzzle pieces, so I really appreciate what you’re bringing to the experience and I don’t even play bass. For me, the song begins at 3:50.
I'm so stoked I paid for my new bass today it's on it's way in the mail this will be the first song I'm going to learn. I bought a 4string musicman ray4.
Have fun!
Great choice!! That's my bass and honestly for the price it's such a beautiful instrument.
Eating lunch at work and trying to count t 4 then count to '6 and' then back to 4. Good job
cok iyi ..tebrix
F*cking knap neef!! Mindblowing👍🤘
Bedankt man!
Al that’s missing is Justin’s head bob! Very nice.
Do you feel like this is the Danny and Adam show? Maynard has less presence and less grit (but much more technique) and Justin.... doesn't seem to really have a standout moment in the album? Descending intro I guess but idk. There isn't a schism or 46 & 2 or a Rosetta Stoned breakdown moment. Overall the album is just fantastic anyway, but I just kinda feel like Justin is just THERE and not a PRESENCE like normal.
Hmmm, not sure about that. Bass shouldn't stand out that much in my opinion. That being said, his bass is really quite loud and punchy in Pneuma, Descending, Invincible and this one. So yeah, i don't know really. Whatever it is, I don't mind. And I think Maynard did a great job.
@@LeoBassCovers2 I suppose that's fair. I'm just getting started on bass so maybe I'm not used to that subtlty? (dirty guitar player here). But that's why it seems strange, becuase Justin really WASN'T subtle. The album is GREAT. I just don't know what to make of Justin's parts in it. He feels much more like he's in lockstep with the bass drum than doing his own thing (or perhaps danny is matching HIM more and not doing so many polyrhythms against the bass? Either Way. I still love it and I'll be here for learning all of it as best I can with my feeble capabilties. thank you SO much for the effort you put in on these videos.
agreed, although his role as a bassist is done perfectly.
JensenDKMG85 you know invincible has a bass solo? That's definitely a standout moment....
The truth is, this album is kinda uninspired. There is not much Tool level on bass, or vocals and even guitar, despite the fact that it's more present. The only thing still just as good is the drums. People will realize that as soon as the new thing feeling wears off.
Really appreciate these videos. T00L is one of my favorites, but I've never spent much time with a pick. I've been playing for just over ten years, and I feel like I should develop a pick technique. What are some good habits/bad habits?
I hold my pick in a weird way so don't take any advice from me. But if it hurts, you should try something else. There's some really good picking technique videos on youtube though.
Holy shit dude
I love that thing Justin Chancellor does when he hits the open high D string it sounds so nasty :)
Sounds great but i count it 8 quarter notes and 5 sixteenth notes. As a drummer and that is just how I see it. What you did sounds great. Thank you
Nice cover Leo !! As usual. What do you use to get that sound almost similar to Justin Wal? I use a Warwick with the humbuckers MEC, the sound is closer but not as much as yours.
Thanks! I think most of the sound comes from the amp simulators I use which was a SVT-3PRO in this case. Also used a KHDK Abyss distortion pedal that Justin also uses.
@Morgan Detcheverry - BTW- I don’t think this song on the album is actually played with a Wal. I am 95% sure descending, pneuma, and 7empest are all being played with a HH stingray. You see him play Descending live with the stingray. It has a little more low end boom (especially when chugging those big low ads) and nice mids but not the ones that cut through hard like the wal.
TOOLbassplayer thanks !
Now that is interesting. Thanks for stopping by TOOLbassplayer!
@LeoBassCovers - Happy to stop by! Great job on the song! I just don’t have the time to crank these out in real time so thank you for doing a great job. Bass sounds great!
Incredible playing,timing and TONE!!!!
What’s your set up?
Thank you! It's all digital. Just my bass going into my audio interface (Apollo Twin Duo) and then into Cubase where I just a lot of inserts like compression, effects, EQ, master software, etc.
This song's uses of 21/8 are insane.
First of all, FANTASTIC cover! I've been learning a lot of Tool songs thanks to your vids with the powertab play-along, really takes the guess work out of it. So music theory nerds, I gotta know- Is it alternating bars of 4/4 and 13/8, or 3 bars of 7/8? I think that concept of obscuring the downbeat is called "Disguising the time", (kinda makes things sound like they're in a different time signature) Which Tool have implemented it in the past.
Because the whole, 4/4 + 13/8 is really 8+13=21/8. So I think it's like, either or either is correct. (Leading up to this album, I've heard Danny say they were "doing this one in 21 right now"...) That's why I'm just curious about if anyone could shed some light on the subject...
All true. I basically released this video 2 days after the album came out, so at the time I thought it was correct. But very quickly, people started telling me that technically, it's 21/8 or 7/8 which makes total sense :)
@@LeoBassCovers2 Fantastic! When you first posted, I was really intimidated trying to make sense of all the time signatures. But one step at a time, I'm slowly learning off of your video. So if you don't mind me asking, how did you figure out all the odd bars? I mean for making the power tab part, do you just record and an app does the work, or do you have to write it all in? I imagine just setting a tempo, or even play along would be hard to do because Tool don't record to a metronome, or click track. Baressi was talking about that, too. (for example, they would have to adjust delay times bar-by-bar just to compensate for the human performance)
So I guess simply put, how did you get the power tab to sync up? I couldn't imagine it was easy...
