Greetings everyone, finally I can provide y'all with some new content on here!

Many of you have asked where I've gone or whether I've quit YouTube altogether. First of all, I haven't! I still want to make videos and I still love playing guitar. Also, I try to reply to most of your comments and questions! This community is awesome and I love being a part of it! 😄

But the hard reality is that YouTube is not my job and I don't make money from most of my YouTube videos (except via Patreon and my/our own songs). That's why YouTube will always remain a hobby and hobbies should stay fun. When I make videos, I really want to aim for precise tabs and it should be a fun process for me. Last year, I really ran against a wall with Third Eye since I couldn't really figure out key parts in the song which was more frustrating than fun and I obviously couldn't provide the quality y'all know from this channel. And after that, I somehow just froze and nothing happened here. I'm really sorry for that.

This is why I'll be focusing on more comfortable songs for me to finish up for the time being. But maybe I'll tackle more daunting songs again in the future!

I don't know how frequent I will post from here on, but I sure as hell want to create more content on here! 🤘

I’d take quality over quantity when it comes to tool tabs any day of the week

[DenisBencic]

Fuck yeah! The official TOOL guitar covers channel is alive! :)

[Kai..-]

Literally learnt this yesterday through multiple average videos and scrambling to find live footage. i can’t believe you post this now out of all times. i’ll be relearning it later today!

[RandomVideoGuy]

The king has returned to his TOOL obsessed subjects!

[thorcaird]

You're the best at this Max, glad you're still there ! Take your time, I think we all apreciate what you have to offer, even though we will have to be patient ! =)

[jeramies]

So glad you’re back Max. I have learned several TOOL songs from these videos in the past few months and this is such a welcome surprise. Thanks for all the work you do.

[Mothman]

HE HAS RETURNED! I forgot how beautiful this Gibson is 😍

[rickpritchett]

Welcome back! Thanks for the latest submission. It's great as always.

Lastly, never a need to apologize. There's no way the lot of us pay you enough relative to the value your videos provde to us. Keep doing them as long as you enjoy it and no more, no less.

[lordoth]

Awesome! Welcome back. I always self taught myself this and just discovered I've been playing it wrong all these years. Thank you

[Redastrasz]

YES DUDE, you're alive! I've learned guitar because of you, I studied all of your Tool videos and have moved onto Gojira now. I'm so happy you're back!

[kinshukruparelia]

Let’s Tool was the reason I picked up a guitar, and I’m learning stinkfist, I was so sad thinking, well, I started late and probably wasn’t gonna see anymore of you, but this is AMAZING NEWSSS!!

[hamradiotube]

Oh dang, you went ahead and got yourself a Gibson! Very nice, congratulations.

[T-Bore]

Tooles Cover! Schön wieder was von dir zu sehen und zu hören. Mach dich nicht verrückt, Rückschläge gehören dazu und Pausen müssen sein 💚

[frgt]

Max, ich wollte dir einfach nochmal "persönlich" sagen: Danke! Danke danke danke für deine unfassbare Arbeit! Ich bin seitdem ich 13 bin Tool fan und gitarrist, hab mein spielen die letzten Jahre sehr vernachlässigt aber navhdem ich deine Videos gefunden habe hast du mich wieder zum üben inspiriert! Ich versuche jeden Tag mit deinen Songs zu üben!

Ich habe mir sogar - sozusagen als Zeichen der Dankbarkeit für dich und für die Jungs von tool - auch auf den linken unterarm den goldenen schnitt mit "spiral out, keep going" tätowieren lassen. Mach weiter so!

[AlexPSage]

Well I'll be damn...Mom, get the camera! It's Max!!

[Jamtron]

One of the first tool songs I learned and one that gives you a clear insight into AJ's techniques of extended power chords, tremolo picking on higher notes, unison bends, and of course phyrigian riffs. Excellent video!

[benkoch]

Welcome back Max!! We've missed ya!

[Aenimaniac]

So good to see you again! Welcome back and thank you for all your work! 🤘

[jaimeurbano]

Just got a guitar and tried to learn some TOOL songs and stumbled on this. Thank you for posting this at the moment of my curiosity
