Tool - Schism (guitar cover + tab)

Another amazing song from the Lateralus album. It's surprisingly easy to play, yet all the little variations and rhythms can be hard to remember. It is a song about a split and communication breakdown, which is also reflected in the time signatures (5/8 vs 7/8). Note that the whole album is extremely low gain. Enjoy and make the pieces fit!
Too fast? Just slow down the playback speed to 0.75, 0.5 or 0.25!
LYRICS
I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing
Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lover's souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
We cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication
I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame, it doesn't mean I don't desire
To point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over
To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication
The poetry that comes from the squaring off between
And the circling is worth it
Finding beauty in the dissonance
There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow and strengthen our communication
cold silence has
A tendency to
Atrophy any
Sense of compassion
Between supposed lovers
Between supposed lovers
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit

The tabs are so off time but otherwise good cover!

[@PachevchenkoAirleus]

yes time off

[@bighomes2286]

Off tempo lol

[@jefffabio7902]

Why are the tabs so far off

[@Excellerator420]

Tool has varying time signatures in most their songs the notes are accurate but he'd have to go in adjust all the timings and hope youtubes shitty compression doesnt mess with video/audio latency.

[@jimmym9947]

Because it's Songsterr

[@homer7504]

@@jimmym9947 what does that mean?

[@SpiralOutGuitar]

Sorry for that, working to improve that in future videos. Most tool songs have slight 1-2 bpm tempo changes, which makes the tab speed hard to edit.

[@ReeferSmoker]

@@homer7504 Songsterr is a website that has instrument tablature and a built in MIDI player to play the tabs in rough times, its pretty inaccurate and most tabs are slightly off

Is this in drop D?

[@SpiralOutGuitar]

Yes, as all Tool songs I know of

[@shakvras]

@@SpiralOutGuitar At the very beggining the tabs says "Normal Tuning" in the strings but, once I play your video with the guitar, didn´t match! haha Thanks for this vid... now I have another perspective to play it!

[@nathanspaulding7380]

Parabol/Parabola is the only tool song(s) not in drop D. They use baritone BEDGBE

[@zsrm4578]

the whammy its on 1octave - to 1 octave +?

[@SpiralOutGuitar]

Hi, the guitar is not using any whammy. The bass whammy is one octave up & delay I think.

[@zsrm4578]

@@SpiralOutGuitar thanks man! Great job 🤘

[@heavykrogan]

LmL

[@sequoiakanies2202]

These tabs don’t line up at all. Well played but that kinda defeats the purpose of the video

[@connorgamer96]

Tabs are off time

[@xerfxpec5154]

Pretty good but the tab is terrible.
