This is a lot harder than it looks. How you manage to play that bassline and the vocal line at the same time is beyond me. My hat's off to you, good sir.
Yep - he makes it look easy. I ended up getting the tabs a few years ago...still working on it. To articulate some of the parts it's even harder than Antoine Dufour and Andy Mckee level songs.
Wait is this the ASMR guy? 😂 it would make sense because I've watched your relax with death video countless times and I know you mention some bad ass bands
Discovered this guy a week ago and still can't stop watching. Honestly, mind blowing! Pure talent and dedication. Love your work Ernesto and great choice of songs.
Just slapping the strings with my thumb. I'm not really using that much force, there's a certain sweet spot where it sounds really punchy. Though sometimes I get a little carried away when I get really into it...
My nine year old son is learning guitar, Early days yet, but just so you know, you are a huge inspiration to him. He loves this and your take on Lateralus for the varying techniques you use and the way you combine actions to create what he calls filled-up- sounds. Thank you!
Ernesto dude, Tool is a big ol thick layered beast of a band and you bit off a ton with that axe of yours. Well muthaf**kin done sir. I will definitely buy your music.
Transposing this amazing song into something not only recognizable on a 6 string but damn good is one hell of an achievement. I’ve seen TooL 6 times and every time was absolutely incredible. And if you happen to be a musician it makes their shows that much more insane. So..so damn good.
This was inspirational. It reminded me how much it means to love something enough to want all of it to be perfect and to work until you achieve beyond what you thought was possible. It sparked a fire in me. Thank you.
Yes, but he nailed the entire song not just a simple guitar slap. If you've ever tried playing this song you will know there are many parts of this that are very impressive that he makes look easy.
I hadn't played guitar in YEARS, and your Game of Thrones theme cover inspired me to pick it up again. Since then I've expanded my creative skills by learning how to compose electronic music using Caustic and learned more theory than I had learned in the quarter century prior. literally inspirational music. thank you.
This just showed up on my youtube feed.. and OMG I'm glad it did.. This is probably now my favorite cover of the song.. (previously the Aaron O' Keefe music school cover).
You're phenomenal man! I've been a big fan of Tool for years, and this is the best cover I've ever heard! I've listened to this about 20 times in the last few days. haha. Thank you for putting this out!
ERNESTOOOOOO!!!!! I lost much passion for playing and it may sound silly but I am super charged and inspired right now. This should have 85 million likes but this generation unfortunately would rather pursue American Idol than put in work. Thanks for posting this.
holy crap man, listening laying in bed at 12:27 am on my phone...when it got to the tremelo picking part I yelled out loud "holy shit!!!" that was a journey got goosebumps amazing
This made me cry. Tears are, quite literally, flowing down my cheeks right now. This is one of my all-time favorite songs and your acoustic genius has hit me very hard in 'the feels'. From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely thank you, Ernesto.
try amphetamine, its like espresso, just more disturbing and pushing and u wont be able to remind a simple phonenumber if u try it after 3 days without sleep, i dont even know who i wanted to call, but this cover is great
first found your right in two cover. this is obviously also great. had to support and bought your band camp set. really digging worldbuilder so far and appreciating the sweet skills. thank you carry on.
This is what brought your music to my life.. . my jaw dropped.. Tears started rolling as i was singing and i was just in aww of the talent.. Emotion you give and that i gave while i sang along.. Many levels to your style of playing.. Countless.. priceless... Man..
Holy shit, that was freaking amazing! I could have sworn there was another guitar off screen until I looked and saw you playing multiple lines at the same time. I'm just blown away, that was a reeeeeeally impressive display of skill, thanks for sharing!
Playing Adam's part is one thing. Playing the vocal notes along with it is a different level. I have no clue how you pull that off man. Absolutely mindblowing.
This is a lot harder than it looks. How you manage to play that bassline and the vocal line at the same time is beyond me. My hat's off to you, good sir.
Practice...more n more, its amazing when you nail it in the end!
Yep - he makes it look easy. I ended up getting the tabs a few years ago...still working on it. To articulate some of the parts it's even harder than Antoine Dufour and Andy Mckee level songs.
It looks hard
spectrumofreality you aren’t watching close enough. You can tell he’s obviously playing both if you just pay attention.
@@spectrumofreality You need to look closer. lol
You're an amazing person. Love how you make that guitar sing just like MJK.
Whoah. That was awesome.
Did not expect to see your comment here :D
Wait is this the ASMR guy? 😂 it would make sense because I've watched your relax with death video countless times and I know you mention some bad ass bands
Ephemeral rift
Yeah, I added a bit of flanger to the sound, tried to keep it subtle though.
You are absolutely incredible.
It worked!
You are so good dude I CRI OMG !! Fantastic!
This sounds heavenly bro
He literally embodies the meaning of this song. He’s evolved in order to make a masterpiece.
Well said.
Holy shit this is one of the most impressive things i have ever seen.
Agreed. It may actually take me quite some time to lift my jaw up off the floor.
I'm watching this in xmas and I never felt Jesus so alive like now! Ty
When the guitar stops being an instrument and starts becoming an extension of your body.
No. Extension of the conscious mind.

Huge TOOL fan. This is mind boggling. Amazing work.
He’s playing rhythm and lead at the same time , freaking amazing!!!😳😳😀👍
And bass.
Man, I've just listened to this 8 times (again) with headphones and eyes closed. It just takes me to another place. Just an outstanding instrumental
I could listen to you play all day Ernesto! I absolutely LOVE your tool covers! Beautiful sounds!

Awesome! Glad to hear it :-)
this sound much harder than many guitar players wannabes with full distorsion on electric guitar... majestic work dude
Lux Signifer wow this comparison was lousy :D
+Lux Signifer he is running effects through an amp..... Just saying
you didnt get the point...
Randall Martin you didnt get the point... (damn youtube coments system)
+Lux Signifer can't be a comment cuz it doesn't have a point.
Thought he was going to do the drum solo as well for a second there! :D Incredible cover. Only one I've seen do it justice!
48 people weren’t held enough as children.
That was epic bro.
Funny, because 46 & 2 lol

78 folks need to take a long walk off a short pier. Ernesto, brother, you have been slaying these Tool and SOAD covers! Hella talent!
Homeschooling during Lockdown just got a whole lot better 🤟 your Amazing. Thankyou from Australia
As a fellow parent, that means a lot!
Blows me away that people can "play" vocals and rhythm at the same time. Amazing!
You really nailed the last part of the song where you slap the guitar. Bravo.
Yes, but he nailed the entire song not just a simple guitar slap. If you've ever tried playing this song you will know there are many parts of this that are very impressive that he makes look easy.
The man is using no words and one guitar, yet I hear two guitars and the lyrics.
I wasnt able to fully grasp the intense full life version of awesomeness I just witnessed..I must watch it again

It's funny you say that because I hear Kala's voice throughout this song. This guy's great but it's my #2
Glad I'm not the only one. I can hear Kala's voice, stepping through Ernesto's shadow on the wall behind him. 👀
I've practised this for years and yet this guy plays like it is as easy as breathing. Impressed but envious.
Quite honestly, the most awesome acoustic cover i have ever seen!
Talent I can’t even relate to. You sir, are amazing.

This is transcendent guitar playing. Like a meditation. SO MAGNETIZING.
Man, I've watched this countless times. I still enjoy it everytime. I would subscribe million times if only I could.

i love how you include the vocal melodies and play poly-rhythms man you are indeed the MAN!!!
brought tears in my eyes

were you on molly?

try amphetamine, its like espresso, just more disturbing and pushing and u wont be able to remind a simple phonenumber if u try it after 3 days without sleep, i dont even know who i wanted to call, but this cover is great
Is he playing the vocal melody too?? Wtf amazed
Fucking gay! Lol!
Never seen a better chord melody. Excellent rhythm and use of alternate tuning and a dynamic performance to boot!
That was awesome, I think I saw you take on the form of a unicorn for a moment there!!
Cecilio Quintero I'm not just some guy... Ernesto, look at me, you're good..
Cecilio Quintero haha best comment...let's give them something to talk about....how about louvre, lourrve
Hairs on arms and legs standing... Whew, absolutely FANTASTIC dude!
Ernesto it's been a while since someone commented, just wanted to remind you you're phenomenal :D
He's a fucking beast my dude
Your seriously better than I ever imagined even possible for a guitar player to be!!!!
GOD MODE
it's amazing how well tool translates to acoustic guitar. loved it
Fantastic How come I'm just discovering this today ?
I saw this video for the first time around a year ago and it introduced me to Tool. Thank you for that.
first found your right in two cover. this is obviously also great. had to support and bought your band camp set. really digging worldbuilder so far and appreciating the sweet skills. thank you carry on.
Awesome, thanks for the support!
I listened to that without watching. Just listening to music. It sounds like it's played on, at least, two guitars. Amazing!
I’m just now discovering this. Look what I have been missing.
Shame on you Dana 😾
Keep watching/listening to this over and over. I bett even Adam Jones can't make Tool sound this cool on an accoustic guitar.
You play with some mega emotion, dude. Nice touch.
Wow, so gifted. Truly found myself not being able to fast forward or stop watching
How is he doing this? My brain cannot compute!
This is beyond my comprehension. Can't even imagine how much hardwork must have gone behind mastering an instrument to such an extent
holy smokes man, at 2:52 you made me spiral the Fuck out man. I know that this is an old video but still... thanks so much man that was incredible
Agreed! Best solo acoustic, covering all instruments AND vocals, that i have seen.
he do impossible things
I have tears in my eyes this is so good!
Kinda makes me want to just make my guitar into a birdhouse.
the best acoustic tool song guitar player that i saw
I thought i was a guitar player until i watched this. Holy hell.
Fecking GREAT, NOBODY has made a cover of tool that is worth anything other that you. What a gifted player you are. DO MORE!!!
Step through your shadow.
I have no words. I am glad I heard this cover.
How the fuck could anyone dislike this?
being jelly
by clicking the dislike button.
Jesus christ man. Thank you. One of the best experiences my ears have had.
Figured out the tuning:
F
U
C
K
N
O
SuttonSantiniPaulo Most Tool songs are in Drop D tuning.
True but i dont think hes playing something in open tuning to be able to play the vocal parts. Idk for sure.
Randall Martin sry i meant to say i think hes playing in some kind of open tuning for the vocal parts.
Its in Drop D
CaptainHowdy760 he said in another video, that all his tool covers are in dadgad tuning
Playing two guitar parts and vocals, incredible!
Pffft I can play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on guitar
+Quarker on one string? )))
Quarker i can't even play that/: but i can play Everlong
I nailed marrie had a little lamb. He ain't got sht on us!
Quarker
proves us
You can't even spell Mary Had a Little Lamb, how we supposed to believe you can play it? xD
i can't stop listening to this cover. thanks for getting me through the work day.
a-f.u.c.k.i.n.g-amazing . my god I just stumbled upon this. Wish I knew this earlier
I want to watch more of this guys vids... but the tears of pure joy are impairing my vision too much to see the screen clearly. #inspired
43 people can't handle the fact they will never be able to play like this
Congratulations Sir. You just won the entire internet!
*OH, MY, FUCKING, GOD* 4:10
This is what brought your music to my life.. . my jaw dropped.. Tears started rolling as i was singing and i was just in aww of the talent.. Emotion you give and that i gave while i sang along.. Many levels to your style of playing.. Countless.. priceless... Man..
is it me or does the rythm, melody sound very middle Eastern like?
Jorge Maynard like to sing notes within the natural harmonic scale which is very middle eastern, and common for rock songs for that time period
Holy shit, that was freaking amazing! I could have sworn there was another guitar off screen until I looked and saw you playing multiple lines at the same time. I'm just blown away, that was a reeeeeeally impressive display of skill, thanks for sharing!
Jesus already came to earth again... He just was taking some guitar lessons with god, just 2000 years of training xD
Steven Barahona 2000 years wouldn’t even be enough for me to up my skill to this level lol
just amazing how you manage to capture so much sound and energy of the whole band using your guitar
HOW?????
I love this, I could cry.
Fuuuuuuuuuuck me!!!
Yes. Fuck you.
Wow, brotha of the six gun.... nice. Love,love,love it.... When I play a Tool on acoustic, well... it doesn’t sound like that! Bravo! Bravo!
Amazing. Simply absolutely amazing. There's not a single critique I could give here.
Playing Adam's part is one thing. Playing the vocal notes along with it is a different level. I have no clue how you pull that off man. Absolutely mindblowing.
Creative. Inspiring. Genius. I've never heard anything quite like this. You are amazing.
This is my favourite versions, I can't get enough of this. Thanks!
my favorite tool song all time
The way you manage to play the melody and the backing track at the same time is extremely impressive. Loving it.
When you play, it looks very easy! Perfect!!!
Just found your videos today. Can't stop watching and singing along. You are phenomenal!
this is the stuff that kicks my ass back in the jam to practise
i have passed on this video many times but today i listened for the first time WOW 46 and 2 can sound good on acoustic
