Dude, this song is ridiculously hard to play on the guitar, especially on acoustic. I've been playing almost 20 years and still can't do it. Along w/ singing, and you're voice is really good, this is a crazy, obsenely good cover of a classic Tool song. Compliments from PA!
That's blowing my mind. Guitar playing is technical already, singing is technical on its own too. Both simultaneously would require me three different brains. One for each instrument, and yet another one to not forget to breath while being so focused.
Tool is loved for so many reasons, Maynards voice being one. Aside from your guitar skills you really gave it your own touch, and tweaks. And dude it works. Thumbs up.
again and again i find myself coming back to this cover. Ive shown all my buddies and its a hit man. make a cd and send it to me haha. i cant get enough
And the award for the first guy to make an acoustic cover of Tool that was actually a worthy tribute goes to you mate. Hats off, this was great. Muted guitar sounds very cool. Now stop mucking around with all the DMB and get on the rest of the Tool catalogue - can I request Eulogy.
You told me you were gonna do a Forty Six & 2 cover! The wate was well worth it! I could listen to your stuff all day man. That has been and probably always will be my # 1 TOOL song. And you sure done it a fine justice. Thanx for another video that I can keep in my favorites. Please keep it up!
I was completely just taken by the guitar at the beginning, to the point where I forgot that you were going to sing. But as soon as the lyrics started coming out, I had to hit that like button. Great voice, great talent. Keep it up man
Dave doesn't get nearly enough credit for the musician he is. After studying him (learning his songs) I got a whole new respect for that man. Brilliant is an understatement...same can be said for Tool : )
The way you interpreted that song shows that you really understand it. You made an effort to represent all of the musically important aspects of the song rather than just playing Adam's guitar part on an acoustic and singing over it. Anyone can just hack up a song and call it an interpretation, but the way you've done this shows that you took the time to really pull it apart and get inside it. Very very nice. Great playing and singing too.
This awesome. I play guitar myself and i wouldnt even atempt to sing AND play this at the same time. And even if i could i couldnt do it as good as you did
Hey, akangell, I admire you! very! much! it is my very favorite Tool-song. But studying the guitartab... so difficult for me and my kind of lazy fingers..Now I happen to watch you, young boy, you do it so good I almost start to cry, ...you..singing and playing at the same time... bravo!!!
sounds really good..there's lots of things going on in the original version, I've never expected this migh be that interesting played only on one guitar...Well done,mate. Tool i also my favourite band!
I would LOVE IT if you posted a how to on this song or any other tool song you know. I'm just not picking up guitar and tool is my FAVORITE band, and this is my favorite song. I'm going to go check out the rest of your videos now.
It's videos like this that make me question my own abilities as a musician. While I can play this song quite well on both bass and guitar, I cannot imagine intertwining both parts. Even with the muscle memory (no pun with the song lyrics intended) I have built by playing this song many times over the years, it still seems to require a lot of my focus to keep count of the measures. I can't imagine singing the lyrics on top of playing both parts to an odd time song. Very well done, man.
This is an Excellent Acoustic version of one of my most favorite songs in the World. Very nice job man. You have to be playing that guitar with only "muscle memory" to be able to sing so well at the same time..........WOW!
you killed it man, well done.People who play guitar would know that is not an easy song to play and sing at the same time.
jade simpson Thanks! Glad you liked it! Acoustic Tool is definitely fun!

Thanks for the kind words! Glad it came out ok.
Bro you suck at guitar then 😂
Overly obsessed with this version! Such great work. I had to subscribe. I swear it sounds so pure.
Thanks! Happy you like it! :)
Most people don't have a clue the actual difficulty and talent this took to pull of. From a 20 yr musical vet....VERY WELL DONE MAN.
That's blowing my mind. Guitar playing is technical already, singing is technical on its own too. Both simultaneously would require me three different brains. One for each instrument, and yet another one to not forget to breath while being so focused.
well done mate, really...the almighty Tool is a tall mountain to climb, especially a song of this magnitude..and you def reached the summit..genius
+Justin Brock Thanks, I appreciate that. Glad you liked it!
Bravo! Great cover. Nice cat.
Thanks. He died not long ago but happy he's a part of these vids.
Fuckin killed it man! Wasn’t expecting that to be honest. Great job

This dude right here is in his bedroom with more talent than 90 percent of today's mainstream music.
Dead on timing, awesome vocals, stunning acoustic sound. Rock on!

good incorporation of the bass line with the guitar part. your vocals go well with tool songs. nice work.

I was completely just taken by the guitar at the beginning, to the point where I forgot that you were going to sing. But as soon as the lyrics started coming out, I had to hit that like button. Great voice, great talent. Keep it up man
