7empest (Tool) - Bass Cover (With Tabs) by Leo Düzey

"7empest" from Tool's "Fear Inoculum" album (2019).
pff.. what song.. Although it's not my favourite from Fear Inoculum, I can happily announce that this is one of the most difficult and draining songs I've ever played in my life. That riff in the middle doesn't feel logical and goes on for 4-5 minutes... I zoned at some point which is why I missed the 8-8-10-10 transition at some point. But yeah, what song... Culling Voices next I think. Oh by the way, you can count those long notes (10:25) like 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-½. Sure you could count to 10 and a half, but 7 usually fucks up the counting in my head.

Some important information that nobody is going to read.
Tuning : D-A-D-G
Artist : Tool
Bassist : Justin Chancellor

Alternate title: "Man tries to play the same odd-timed bassline for nearly 5 minutes without going crazy"

[MIXTAB]

Imagine how long Justin played that groove so Adam could write a 6 min solo 🤘😎🤘

[maxarceneaux]

These vids have made me realize just how creative of a player Justin is

[chdoc]

I love how meticulous you are with the rhythm, the timing, the music, the roots, the 5ths, you know what you are doing in Drop D... your tabs are better and more accurate and awesome than any website, you are the greatest source of Tool/Bass music outside of JC.

[grimgr]

that groove that starts at 3:48 is one of the best riffs justin has ever written

[MrRafabro]

You are a legend dude. I only play bass for about 3 years now, so I guess I still am a newbie, but I can't figure out how to play Pneuma! Really weird rythm. Love the álbum and your videos, keep them coming

[lowend]

This one's a LOT of people's favorite song of the new album. Definitely a throwback to their older sound! Nice job Leo!

[zachariahbunton]

The hand shake and the end shows how tough this is. Legendary skills mate.

[eddominates]

holy shit what a marathon. with that damned 13/8 ... plays tricks on your brain. I can groove it and then I lose it and then I get it and then I lose it.. . This is why I love Justin. (also Leo)

[Painball]

I love the bass foreshadowing for adams guitar riffs so much its like 3 or4 times where Justin starts playing adams riffs before he does...so super smooth :O

[Apopheniomind]

3:50 - 8:50
Genius bass composition...

[MrBassistfromhell]

I bet the one thumbs down is from Chancellor himself, you missed half a note somewhere.

Great cover

[connorgamer]

I love how you slided so cleanly into the open 0 riff at 8:49. So clean and amazing!

[knogface]

I love how the best tool songs to me are kind of Justin and Danny vs Adam vs maynard. If that makes sense? I just think the drummer and bass have such a deep musical connection.

[brentcrude]

Fantastic job as always, Leo.
For those that are saying Justin's bass doesn't 'stand out' here (or anywhere in the album), what the fuck does that even mean? I'd rather have the bassist hold down the foundation of the song and anchor everything in place, in service of the intended feel and sound of the track, instead of having him compete with the others and end up with everyone overshadowing everyone else.
We're not dealing with a funk band here. 😂

[katchaw]

Glad I’m not the only one who plays while rocking my body back and forth like a maniac so I don’t loose rhythm

[Multiabuse]

Fantastic job. I'm not a bassist, but I love your videos showing what is "under the hood" w Justin's work.

[ernestoruedachavez]

Fear Innoculum is my favorite Tool album. I think their songwriting has improved. The skill in structuring long songs and keeping them interesting....phenomenal.

[chdoc]

CANT WAIT FOR PNEUMA AND INVINCIBLE(esp that chill bassline with delay at 2:12... haha you know)

[RCSmiths]

Tool is not to be messed with on the Bass indeed! Really awesome interpretation and accuracy!
