Tool - Lateralus Guitar Cover + Tab

Tool - Lateralus (guitar cover / playthrough)

Apologies if this video is not perfect, I know the tabs are slightly out of timing at some points (really hard to edit with the in-song tempo changes) and my playing is also not perfect.

Nothing on my channel is monetized!

Don't overthink the time signatures, just feel the rhythm and keep going!

Too fast? Slow down the video speed!

Lyrics:
Black then white are all I see
In my infancy.
Red and yellow then came to be,
Reaching out to me,
Lets me see.

As below, so above and beyond,
I imagine drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over-thinking, over-analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

Black then white are all I see
In my infancy.
Red and yellow then came to be,
Reaching out to me.
Lets me see

There is so much more
And beckons me
To look through to these
Infinite possibilities.

As below, so above and beyond,
I imagine drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over-thinking, over-analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, leaving opportunities behind.

Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

I embrace my desire to
I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected
Enough to step aside and weep like a widow
To feel inspired, to fathom the power,
To witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
To swing on the spiral, to swing on the spiral,

To swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground
I lose myself between the sounds
And open wide to suck it in.
I feel it move across my skin.

I'm reaching up and reaching out.
I'm reaching for the random or whatever will bewilder me.
Whatever will bewilder me.

And following our will and wind
We may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end
And may just go where no one's been.

Spiral out. Keep going. [4x]

this cover is amazing but especially at the end.... that riff is literally legendary, so much power behind it, fucking insane dude keep it up

[billxx]

Thank you so much for this video. I toy around with the guitar a little mainly to develop an interest for my son who has Autism I heard Lateralus come on xm radio today and I always loved that opening part. I was thinking what a cool little jam that first part would be on acoustic. I don't know how to read notes and I simply assumed it would be ridiculously difficult. However the way you show the tabs and play along is perfect. I started watching your video an hr or so ago and I'm starting to see how easy that first part is to pick up for a beginner. I am definitely a subscriber now. Thanks from Connecticut!

Hell yeah man! Killed it! I stopped playing about two years ago when my dad died. But I found a bunch of tool recorded on vinyl that were his and started listening to them again, then fear inoculum came out and I fell in love with that album. Thankfully I started playing guitar again! I’m trying to learning all the tool songs now! Thinking about getting a new Gibson too! Rock on bro!

[NickolaiVolkov]

Beginner here, aiming on getting down the intro in an attempt to learn the very basics. One of my favorite intros to any song...ever, so at least it's a fun one! Keep going... Also, it was fun to watch this in its entirety and attempt to make sense as to what's being played, when and how. I'll be re-watching this one for sure as the months march on.

[AIrobut]

I dont think ive seen someone include tablature before, brilliant.

[Kevin-jukb]

You just earned my subscription. Rock on brother. I play so much Tool on my guitar i am constantly searching vids. This one is so clean. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that silver burst.

[dheethbar]

As a musician who hasn't played guitar, I really enjoyed this and following along in the sheet music to keep my mind in time. Thanks, dude 🤙

[MerelyPassingThrough]

Thanks for this! Would be nice if the tab were synced to the track, but I understand the difficulty since they don't record to a click. Still very valuable for learning the song.

[dabblemusic]

Managed to play this all the way through today, thank you my friend.

[prophet]

The power when you play the chorus riff 🥴🥴🤩🤩

[sayosstv]

That hammer on at 2:16 gets me everytime

[harissamim]

Bro how did you get the pinch so perfectly in the solo!?? I’ve never heard anyone do that so fucking cleanly. Mind blowing.

[daitonmarshall]

Always loved tool and this video means a lot, thanks

[vincentp.]

That little thing you do at 1:50 sounds badass, how do you do it

[tucorazon]

[ApCommunityRock]

[CJGuitarClips]

[ReynerVillalobosFernandez]

Maestro, el video de mis sueños, ahora a por la guitarra y el ampli

[guisolovijovas]

Hey dude insane cover, could u help me understand better the solo part that uses the Wah Wah pedal, like I'm planning to do a cover and this part is kinda tricky for me

[Vercingetorix]

Great cover! Are you using pedals for echo and distortion? Or is the amp?
