TOOL - Vicarious (Guitar Cover with Play Along Tabs)

Guitar cover of "Vicarious" by TOOL with on-screen tabs - learned mainly by ear, some live performances and some other covers.
Hope you enjoy the video! Please post your suggestions! :)

This song is another one I've been playing for quite a long time. It's always funny going back and discovering stuff you've played wrong. Have fun! :)

- USEFUL INFORMATION -

Tuning: Drop D (D A D G B E)

Trent Kraemer told me about an isolated guitar track I didn't know about, so here are some corrections (that are also updated in the tab):

37 (1:42): The 7 bend is actually a 7h8 and reappears in the last chorus
96 (4:16): The 7 is actually a hammer-on from 5h7. From 104 (4:38): it's just a single note again
146 (6:27): Ends on an 17th extended power chord
161 (7:08): It actually ends with 0h3h5h0

Your style of lessons/play through is my favorite method of learning songs. I hate learning chunks at a time. Much rather get a full play through in real time with the tabs and just pause when needed.

Again just absolutely perfect, seems there’s nothing you can’t do

[fluntimes]

That song is one of the all-time greats in my opinion. Thanks for the tab. Vicarious is a challenge even after the Dream Theater stuff I've learned.

[elliepses]

My favourite Tool song to play uploaded on my birthday by my favourite cover channel. It couldn't be any better.

[sharadmohip]

To me this is one of the greatest intro riff ever written ... love Adam effect and layers ...Adam has so much big riffs it’s countless

[johantitulaer]

This has been my favourite song from the moment I heard it and it's simply one of the most fun songs to play in my opinion. Be it on the guitar, bass or drums. Can't wait to perform this live :D

[hockeylvr]

I’ve had troubles with learning this song for a long time but after I stumbled onto your video I finally managed to get it down, thanks for the videos man I plan on refining and learning so much tool with your excellent covers

[armanpgrigorian]

Probably my favorite tool song, great to see the tabs with the video!

[Kornholic]

1:49 I knew Adam Jones did that Jambi technique in Vicarious, too! Nice job, as always. It's a surprisingly tricky song to play. The intro melody is sick when it comes around the second time with dual melodies. Might re-learn this soon thanks to you and your tabs!

[ErnieBallJMeister]

I cannot believe Max managed to work out two guitar parts at 2:07, I'm actually amazed!

[bgirlangelboty]

Thank you for your dedication and effort to do this for us. I touched a guitar about 10 years after the last time and started practicing some tool songs. Looking through tabs an videos everything seemed a bit off. And then I found your channel, and all my problems were solved... You sir are a man of commitment and sheer fucking will. Again THANK YOU

[lieutenant-llama]

You have to be some kind of mad man to figure out what's happening at the 2:06 mark. Nice job as always.

[natesoby]

Awesome! Would love to see Reflection by Tool! With disposition and triad if you’re feeling frisky!

[WheelBite_]

Max, really nice playing! you’re a superhero when it comes to guitar tabs!

[juliencarnevale]

Simply fantastic! #1 source for accurate TOOL riffs!! Keep it up man 👍

[underfeed]

damn...i just sat and watched it first. Amazing, well done again!!

[Tannzrz]

I don't play guitar, but I'll be damned if you didn't go above-and-beyond with the production of this video. Exquisite work my friend.

[tomperri]

Amazing, man. Thanks for doing this. Making my quarantined day just a slight bit better. That tone, jesus...you nailed it.

[LeakyBucketHandle]

Best tool learning videos out there, period. Thank you for your work good sir.
