Recording this again was actually not as easy as I thought. Memorizing when to slide and when not to is annoying as hell :D I'm very proud of the tone I got here so I added my _isolated guitar track_ in the zip-file for this one. The synced guitar tab (gp, gp5, pdf) is in the description for you to grab. I've redone this tab with much love, paying attention to every last note here. If you find some mistakes, feel more than welcome to comment. I'll add the corrections in the description where other details are already noted :)

Max = WARRIOR Me = STRUGGLING Much love dude, wonderful job.

The first time I heard 11:58 on the record I almost cried...bringing that intro riff back in during the crescendo is just magnificent

That's the most beautiful Epiphone LP I have ever seen.

That tone is MAGESTIC

No need to hide your face Adam Jones....you've already have absolutely killed it!!

The guitar in this song is just other-worldly. Lots of people say that for Tool as a whole, but i really can't compare this to anything else that i've listened to, not even another Tool song. I've been replaying the first third of the song for hours now, i can't get enough of this psychedelic, progressive riff.

The riff at 9:45 never fails to get me headbobbing and smiling..

I sitll remember the first time I listened through this album. It had been a long 13 year wait for new Tool. This song quickly became my favorite. When I heard the intro riff resurface in the outro at 11:58 I had tears in my eyes. Still gets me to this day.

It’s people like you that get me so excited about Tool. The community around them is dedicated and when the new record landed I came straight to KZfaq for stuff like this

Been waiting for this from you. I appreciate a straight up play through with tabs instead of 30 minutes explaining how to play the opening riff.

I can't imagine the amount of work that went into scoring/tabbing this with all the changing tempos and bizarre rhythms going about. Great work dude, this is my go-to channel for Tool tabs.

9:45 favorite part of the song

I still play pieces of this everyday so I never have to relearn this monster. Thank you Max.

7:50 The pull-thru returns! I like things that are nice, and fitting names for guitar techniques are nice. Thanks Uncle Ben! Silky playthrough dude, you killed it.

I literally can't find anyone better at doing tool covers with such efficiency. I'm really amazed!

That was phenomenal. That riff is so challenging to play correctly it teaches you to place your fingers in very odd positions but whatever works to fret these notes. Beautiful thank you for this masterpiece

Great job. And I really love the stuff Adam Jones came up with for the new album. Hearing it played so clearly makes it obvious what a great guitarist he is.

This song has been so hard for me to turn my attention to…not because I don’t like it of course, but because it was such a hard hitting emotional song. Kinda like 10,000 Days, it was almost the main “chore” of the album to sit through, like confronting mortality face to face.

That breakdown!! So simple, yet so badass!!

Absolutely nailed it man. Very clean signature pull-off triplets of Adam's as well!

This is absolutely perfect! Video quality, production, backing track volume, your tone, the tabs, all of it... perfect. You’ve set the bar very high for others to create tutorial videos. Thank you!

That part at 3:55 when you split into 2 people and the lower one plays that melodic interlude... total toolgasm! One of my favorite parts of the record. And Max, you are... a... god! High priest, no less!

Such an incredible song and a joy to play! Adam’s chugging is such an endurance test... at least for me lol. Very good playing bud!

fantastic. Perfect playing, that guitar and that TONE. Gah.

Just when I was getting ready to give the album a break... This came up in my KZfaq feed. 🤘🎧😁

I love how the tempo keeps climbing throughout the composition!

This song was much much easier than I thought. Learned it before I watched this though. You hit it spot on.

You are Invincible. Thank you so much for the dedication.

My favorite part of this song is at 11:01 , it has so much power in it and it all comes together.

You even get all the little embellishments correct that I completely missed. Thanks mate!

Dude, you fucking NAILED it. There were times during the intro that I had to ask myself, “is he muting the audio of him playing and just edited the original track over the video to show how to play it….or is he just nailing it THAT solidly?” Answer: you just nailed it that solidly!!

Even some one who is so stoically focused on getting this cover right in one take couldn't resist head banding to the nastiest drop on the album at 9:45! Cover is amazing dude ill definitely be checking out the others!

As a beginner guitarrist I love you

The best tutorial I've ever seen... of the best song I've heard in this century... from the best album since the dark side of the moon.

Mate, this is my favourite song, and because of you, I can now play it. Thank you, so much.

This is fantastic! I’m not really a “Tool fan” but I bought their new album as a stop gap till Opeths new album came out... and this is my favourite track by miles 👌🏻 very impressive 🙌🏻

I actually feel way more comfortable (and it feels more natural) to play pull offs in the main riff, even if if it s not on the recording. I ll keep doing those just for myself. And thanks for the video, this was the best source on the internet to learn the song

You inspired me to take my guitar again and learn this song!

I think this is my favorite song on the album. Great job and thank you!

The more i work with your videos, the more i realize what an enormous amount of work you put in writing these tabs so precisely. Thanks a lot !

this guitar tone is incredibly hard to replicate

Just spent a good solid hour and a half or so sitting down with this sitting down with my guitar and playing it over and over again and I allllllllmost got it, just not quite. I'm getting it tho!!!👍🏻👍🏻🤘🏼🤘🏼I'm learning the entire album in order and I literally couldn't have gotten this far without your videos man. Thanks a lot!!!

Nailed every note man, awesome job

Forgot I was listening to a cover for a few minutes there, good job guy.

Awesome job! Your Epi is beautiful and so was the tone! I enjoyed watching the low D pull offs. A trick/ technique I've yet to master. Tabs are great, keep the vids coming!

Nailed it. And the ending is much clearer now that it's the studio version. I'll admit the liver ending was pretty frustrating to follow. Thanks!

I met him once.. he is a fuxking legend..

Dude! Your tatoo explains everything :D

My favorite song off the album

Mastered the art of the "triplet" AJ pulloff... NOICE

Incredibly impressive man. Absolutely nailed it on the tone!

the Fibonacci Sequence tattoo is dedication!

You've single handedly renewed my love for guitar. I've been practicing this song and followed along to your video probably a hundred times and I'm 99% there. The section at around 7:30 with the up/down picking pattern is too fast for me but I'll get it one day soon!

damn you nailed this one also tone and perfect notes. I'm going through all your tool videos tool always seemed so hard but you make it look so easy with lots and lots of practices! Wish I would of had this available to me 45+ years ago when we had to learn songs on a turn table and keep picking up the arm to figure out what we just heard! I would of been a much better player now. Thank you so much for putting these together for us! love your technique such a clean player!

Super fun to play and I realized the killer tone is due to a Diezel amp! My favorite! As always killed every particular aspect of the music, legit you are the best transcriptionist I have ever seen

That "Mhmmm" part at 9:45 is tasty as hell. I bet you had to hold back a bit there.

Been learning this recently, I'm just an average bedroom guitar player. It's not a difficult song technically speaking, but to try and memorise the different patterns and more to the point, where to play them, is so difficult 😆 I guess that's what makes Tool what they are though....great cover, really appreciate the work!

Feel the sting feel the time bearing down is such a brutal lyric

Very impressive! Not only the attention to detail, but also your command of the whole range of dynamics in this song, brilliant! Also nice to see the intro riff without pulloff as on the record.

Watching these play throughs with tabs is so much easier than sitting through a tutorial. Thank you.

Perfect tone! Clockwork playing!💪👍

My limited human brain cannot understand the timing on the riffs at the end of this song. All sounds so perfectly chaotic. Great cover!

Great cover, this is arguably Tool's hardest guitar track imo

Bro you deserve the OG 79 silverburst. Props man 🤘

Intro C from 0:55 to 1:03 is my most favorite part of the entire intro. Such a beautiful transition.

Stellar job! The way you tabbed it out and animated it throughout the video is very impressive. 5 thumbs up!

Well now I know what I'm doing today! Thanks dude🤘🏻

Max, you're a machine with how you churn these presentations out! Another wonderful job! You have a great ear there Max! :)

The master has returned!!!! Yess!!!!

Top-notch cover in a very professionally produced video. Thanks!

Your tone is other-wordly

This is God-level effort. THANK YOU DUDE! :)

Every time I hear “…where I end” line my allergy kicks in 😂 And when it goes back to the main riff right after drone solo at the end… this is an orgasm! Thank you so much, I’ll do my best at the event I’m preparing this for!

You did it again Max! Well done. Great work. You're a great asset to all of us Tool fans. This is probably my favourite song from the new album.

fuck yeah dude you got that Adam Jones groove, most people cant pull off his rhythms. I grew up and only learned Tool songs shit helped me tremendously with playing any groove . he plays very organic there sound is very alive with timings and shit.... Kudos man! best so far from any cover videos, they just play the notes and nah you cant do that with Tool. you gotta feel that shit.

Damn you! I'm still using my passion for too to finally learn figuring out songs for myself. This one has really some parts breaking my head, though 🤣 - now you come along and make it harder not to cheat!

Thank you for putting this out - - - deaf as a post here and I was having difficulty separating the bass from guitar...got it nailed now and can't stop playing it...this song is like crack for my guitar. Awesome work!

Listened to this song so many times I was not planning to stay, just check if your cover is good or not. I stayed. It was great to listen and watch. Looked, sounded great :)

Man thats insane that you can play it that perfect >. SO JEALOUS

I am giggling with amazement! You are such a smooth player! I really love this song and Pneuma too! Hell...the whole album! But I am interested in learning this song. Thankyou :)

Makes me feel good that I wasn't off at all on working this one out. Your tone is so very much on point. Great cover.

Best cover I’ve now seen of this amazing song!! Wicked cover man 🤘🤘

This was absolutely incredible. Thank you for making this!!!

That’s awesome! I play it this way to - all picking - and the crazy part is Adam sweeps down the drop D and A strings on all the riffs. Very well done man! 🤘

I would love to see you do the whole tool catalog. I love what you have put out so far your my go to when learning songs from tool. Love you post the tabs as well makes it easier for me to learn.

Flawless as always. The tone from the last cover already was pretty good but this is as close as it gets!

This song is the most fire song ever made.

It's been 9 months I've been playing after over a decade thank you brother thank you. a lot. Beaituful Epiphone by the way

dude the TONE man... !

Amazing work again Max! Thank you so much for these!

The inverted or variation on the main riff at 1:39 is what gets me. Can’t decide on picking pattern. Very impressive cover.

best tool cover on youtube

I just realized you are the guy that covered CHANGE by Karnivool, damn you are freaking good!!

Max this is incredible as every one of your videos has been! Thanks for all your hard work, it helps people like me so very much! Beautiful LP too! I am just blown away with the Epiphone LP tributes tone, quality and price! Thanks again!

Dude, is that bit at 7:03 actually done with a bass? It sounds crazy.

Great tone, great production, great playing and I feel confident the tab is quite accurate. Good job.

I love how well you cover these songs. I love your guitar and its tone. I love how you provide play-along tabs. I love Tool. I love.... you, Max. Yup. Facts are facts America. But the duration of that pull-through bit has my index finger turning an interesting shade of purple. I thought Jambi was a pull-through nightmare but...damn you Adam Jones!

A flawless cover AND tabs? Subbed

Tool is like dame we need him for our future band member
