Watching this made me realize that Tool acoustic set is a thing I never knew I needed.

The schism interlude is my favorite piece of music of all time. It's so beautiful.

Tool is amazing Be present Be in the moment

I've seen Tool and A Perfect Circle a few times. The no phones thing has been standard for years. I love the idea of living in the moment and enjoying the performance you paid for instead of worrying about taking a video. Some of the best live performances I've ever been to.

That 12 string is beautiful, and the fact that its Irish made makes me want it even more. "how can one man stop an entire room from taking their phones out?" Respect.

I saw Tool for the first time in November - Maynard said the exact same thing to the crowd in Toronto. I couldn't have been more psyched that they followed through with making people put their phones away. Thanks for the content!

Tool is the only reason I play guitar. I've seen them live twice, once in an arena and another outside at a festival, and they put on the most amazing live experiences you could ever imagine. Seen plenty of amazing creative performances but none of them top a tool show. Can only dream that they get to play a venue like the las vegas sphere one day cause they'd be the best concerts of all time

I saw them here in Knoxville last year, were freaking awesome, they pick different songs to play at each concert and different ones to let you film at each concert. Its like getting a unique performance every time. Pretty damn awesome

At the Jack White concert , everybody had to put their cell phone in a special pouch that locked the phone inside . At the end of the concert on the way out you got your phone unlocked et gave back the pouch . It was kind of cool a concert without all the light from phones screens .

My dad purchased his rolls Royce of guitars. A left handed Emerald in green. It was the Cherry on top of his collection. Unfortunately he passed away about 3 months after it arrived. Beautiful instrument

I’m in awe of Tool AND the sound of the Emerald acoustics! Wow!

honestly...GOOSEBUMPS watching you play tool. wow. brilliant work

Best live bands I ever saw: Muse (2010) and Incubus (2002, 2004, 2009, 2019). Great concerts I’ll never forget

“Not about the guitar tone” every Adam jones fan just shuttered

These guitars sound amazing and I do love Tool. Great video here.

Thanks for sharing that experience! Always wanted to see them in concert...

At Jack Whites concerts in Berlin ,Germany you had to lock up your phone in a little bag they provide - if you are leaving the actual concert hall, they unlock it - lock it up again if you go in. It really made the whole concert experience better . Great move by Jack White + he always releases great video and photos after the concert , so you still got your memories. I think Tool made a great move

Saw Tool and I clicked immediately

Tool is a bucket list band ,so glad my family and I got to see them . That twelve is amazing!!

I went to the Birmingham show. This is the fourth time I've seen them and.... they never EVER let you down.

Awesome video Tyler! Love to see your passion for TOOL since they're my favorite band!

Great video. The acoustics (and your versions of the songs) sound great!

Love it... It is a trip and always amazing.... My favorites band and favorite show

Sweet! Tool rocks and so do you Tyler. Thanks for another awesome video.

Nearly forgot to leave a like because I was enjoying this so much. Thank you for your content. You sound great and you're obviously healing well from those idiots. Big hug.

I love Tool. I'm a devout Maynard fan. I first learned of them from Sober. I was a singer in a band. I spent a decade training myself to sound like all my hero's. Maynard, Vedder, Cornell, Staley, and Jim Morrison. I used to do a perfect Maynard James Keenan. My guitar players played the songs, I sang them. I learned guitar late in life after I lost my voice for two years at age 42. I've never sang the same since. I used to be a perfect clone of all my hero's. I was a monster. But even Maynard can't sing like he could when he was 25 anymore. I really appreciate this video. I had no idea you were a Tool fan. I've watched hundreds of your video's over the years. Those new guitars you have sound amazing as all hell.

Those emeralds are gorgeous. Look and sound fantastic!

Keep up the good work Tyler been a fan for a while now👍😁

You have to see them until they quit playing over and over again. I’m so stoked as a major Tall fan to see you recognize the power.

I was able to see them here in Biloxi MS. Amazing show.

Cool guitars and what a great glimpse into a Tool show. Thanks and God Bless.

Those sounds that come out of those guitars are incredible. Very haunting. Very Tool

I was so pumped to see them last year. They finished the set with forty six & 2. What a concert.

i saw them for the first time last friday. had a blast. spent too much on merch. the last song was incredible live and seeing the stadium light up like the night sky with 21,000 cell phone screens was amazing in its own respect. what an incredible show

Attended in Charlotte. Epic. My first tool show. Looking forward to the next one!!!!!

Love your videos, Tool is one of the best! That 12 string sounds and looks amazing!

I LOVE my own 12 string guitars, but I must say, that Emerald sounds unbelievable! Keep that thing close to you forever!!

Flew to Paris last May to see them perform live and the situation was the same: there were discaimers everywhere tellin' you to not use your phone or other cameras. Even the security was very, very active and stopped everyone was trying to pickup their phone from their pocket. I liked it a lot. Finally a concert where people Watch the show and not the screen of their phone. Finally a concert where you are not forced to see all these harms holding thousands of phones. Finally a concert where you only have to enjoy the show

Great playing - and both those guitars sound fantastic!

Amazing job and amazing sounding guitars.

Love this, Tyler.

I love your thing man. You are incredible.

I’m going to see them in L.A. on Thursday with my dad… so stoked!!!

Man the guitar sounds soo good. Cool your scar is heeling good. Best

Those guitars are very nice, I'll have to check them out, thanks.

awesome tyler. i saw them in philly this past november! they were awesome. they finished with 46 and 2.

Saw them a few months ago. Absolutely one of the best shows I've ever seen. It's maybe a silly thing, but I love that they didn't mess around with a planned encore; they gave an incredible show, and then it's done.

Hello brother Tyler! Always a pleasure seeing your video and it is my escape from reality in a brief moment.

Man, respect to Tool. I'm someone who likes to record the first couple of seconds of each song so I can go back and re-experience the set in the order that they played it in. I always put my phone away after the first few second and really exist in the here and now. More people should just exist in the here and now. There is a happy medium to be had.

Going to the 2.14 show in LA, this video was a great primer. Thanks Tyler!

Seen them twice, front row both times and it’s the best show I’ve ever paid for. So worth the money.

Those guitars are amazing. I’ve been eyeing one for a while now. KDH introduced me to them.

Those acoustics sound beautiful!

I saw this tour in moline, illinois it was the same thing with the phones. They didnt play the classics i wanted to here most they played at other shows in the tour. Adam jones let his guitar sit there forever on the first song blasting sound without it even in his hands 🙌

What a great video. Covering 2 very cool things; Tool and very unique guitars...

I've been part of the Tool Army since '95. Tool IS the best band ever created. Even if we have to wait 15 years between albums. It gives us enough time to appreciate the latest album.

You got a new sub... Been a tool fan for 30 years.. and about the same length of time as a guitar player..seen tool 14 times and they never disappoint.

Not often your content gives me real goosebumps… this sure did.

That rendition of Schism is true. So awesome to see live

Been lovin" my Emerald Virtuo!

A Perfect Circle, Tool, and Puscifer (in that order) are my favorite bands. They're similar but their own. Their songs speak to me in so many ways. I got to see A Perfect Circle at the play the eMotive album in concert at the Marquee Theater in Tempe, AZ years ago and it was the first and only concert I've been to. It was the most amazing thing I've ever gotten to experience and I've been wanting to see Tool live ever since! You pretty much nailed these man. Definitely did them justice. The only one I was hoping you'd include was the intro of Right In Two, my favorite Tool song!

I got to see them in Portland this past October! It was awesome and they played Rosetta stoned!!!

My daughter got me and her tickets to the Birmingham Alabama show in February and it was amazing. I kept my phone in my pocket the entire show but my daughter did record lateralus at the end. I know I wouldn't have had no where near the experience if I was looking through my phone. Tool Army 4Life btw it was my daughter first tool concert and she loved it, she was sad cause they didn't play her fav song which is the pot but she had a blast anyways. Going to see puscifer and apc soon.

My boy you can hear the magic!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I've got my tickets for June! That ending gave me shivers. I really hope we get something similar.

Tool have been doing this forever. I remember my first gig was Tool, Wembley Arena back in the early 2000’s and there was clear signage saying not to use your phones or flash photography.

I just got my first acoustic electric and it's been tuned in DROP D almost the entire time! I didn't even know when i clicked this video so I'm very excited to learn this stuff. It's such a fun tuning to learn on. Another song to check out is MIST by John Butler! It's quite fun and leaves room for improvisation if you like. He also uses a 12 string a lot so I'm sure you'll have fun with his music (though it takes a lot of work to get to his level) Thanks for sharing this! I have a whole new respect for Tool

Glad I got to see Tool before the age of the smartphone. 8/5/2001 Eugene, OR . Would have loved to see them on Aenima tour though. That was peak for me.

@12:15 I've been playing 46 & 2 with a funk groove for years. Nice to see I'm not the only one who can feel that.

They did this at the Winnipeg show as well ! And when I saw Jack White in 2018 he told everyone before the concert no phones and they had a special bag you had to put your phone in during the show that they had to unlock at the end of the night. He said they hired camera men so the audience doesn’t need to be. I actually kinda love that some bands are doing this. It completely changed the show and you have everyone engaged in the concert and then it’s also cool to see during the “lighter” moments it’s not just a bunch of phone lights but it’s actually people pulling out lighters.

Just saw them on the 10th, and it was the greatest concert I've ever been to. Not having my phone out until the end was kinda crazy. I really slipped into a trance, and it was an amazing experience! Hearing them live was just incredible!!!!

Saw them a couple of weeks ago, and trust me when I say. The best concert I have been too and very very intimate when you pay full attention to them

I'm going to see them in June, can't wait

Great12 string! Love that tone.

Woa what a beautiful guitar!

I saw them back in 02 down in Providence RI. I can't imagine them playing a venue that small now.

Those guitars are astonishingly beautiful. And Schism sounds amazing on them.

Saw them during the first wave of Fear Inoculum tour with this no photography policy and it was the greatest thing for the show. I could actually just be in the moment and thrash out the whole time like when I was in my teens. Top 5 live shows ever for me 🤘

Great Vid TY !!! Tool is great

I wish I could see Tool live before I die. So far every opportunity has been sold out instantly

it was the same phone routine at the Dallas show on friday. it's awesome not having tons of phones up the whole time. such a great show! really cool hearing these riffs on acoustics and a 12 string 🤘

Yeah, just saw them in Atlanta. What a show! This band is a force, still! I dig these Emerald guitars.

Just saw tool a couple months ago in Calgary and they did the same thing with the phones. That show was hands down the best concert I've ever seen, those dudes still crush it and it's unbelievable that they are all around 60 years old.

Tool fans do what they are told, I’m one of them.

I once went to a Tool concert in St. Paul and then the next night, drove to Madison and saw them again. It was a special 2 days for sure. Cool video dude.

Greatest band that ever was.

Me: I've spent enough money on guitar things recently. I really need to slow down and be satisfied with what I have. Tyler: Listen to this carbon fiber 12-string. Me: Dammit Tyler.

Those guitars sounded AMAZING through my studio monitors, nice recording!!

I saw Tool back in November with some friends I play in a band with and we heard the same thing about not having our phones out until the very last song, but he did make an exception when they brought Alex Lifeson out to join them for Jambi (which neither of us were expecting, since two of my friend and I are huge Rush fans and Jambi was our singer’s favourite Tool song) but it was still an awesome show since we were also sitting beside someone who had been following Tool since the very beginning of their career and had a lot of cool stories as well

First time I had the privilege was Lollapalooza in 1997. At one one point my brother and I look back from the front barrier and it literally looked like an ocean of bodies churning like waves. From that moment on I try to get to any show when they play nearby. Every show has been an amazing experience.

The band that just keeps giving.

Have to say, I love your version of this song. I listened to the original a lot, yet I always love a well-done acoustic cover. So.. 👌

As someone who went to see them in concert on the 10th of Jan. I can confirm that performance with the "diamond dust" was incredible, legit had my eyes watering.

Their live show is exceptional!

I was at the Austin show last week and thought this was the coolest thing. Having everyone in the moment being present together.

We love tooooolllll!!!!!!!!!!

Put the phone down, open your eyes and ears… amazing what you’ll see and hear.

First time I heard of no phones at a show was The Raconteurs about 2 or 3 years ago. When we walked in the venue, the staff put our phones in clear plastic cases; like the ones that stores used to put GameBoy or Nintendo games in. When you went to leave the staff would unlock the case.

Totally agree, Tool are incredible live! Lateralus absolutely went off when they came to New Zealand in Feb(?) 2020 🤩

I saw them for the first time back in September at louder than life and it was amazing, it sound just like on the record and the visuals were amazing
