Very well explained, bud. I think you're the only guy for whom I would watch a 30 minute lesson. It's also just nice to listen to you explaining stuff. Keep up the good work :)

I love the irony of the name of this track. Descending. Yet the song ascends throughout its duration. Just a brilliantly written piece.

2:32... will never get old.... goosebumps everytime - Adam KILLED IT. THE MAN IS A WIZARD

[dmc]

Amazing work sir! The last 5 minutes of Descending are just dirty, I love it.

[zdwolfe]

Thanks for making this, it helped me learn the song a lot faster than with just tabs.

[billscheid]

One of the only channels I turn off ad-block and refresh for - because that is the very least I can do for a 30 minute guitar lesson! Nice work as always!

[Gazmie]

Have the choice of different playback speeds is a god send! Your teaching is great. I can happily watch you teach for hours!

[brousseb]

Great video, as a relative beginner, you're my go to for Tool songs. This was my 10th song I've learned from you. Tool is so fun to play.

[rtrwing]

There is nobody else I would want to learn Tool songs from.

[Jeff-ikzj]

Your channel is amazing and super underrated! Can't wait for 7empest

Descending is my favorite track on Fear. I love the album. Its stunning, stunning, stunning. But this song is perfection. I'm not a musician, so it's so awesome to see how this masterpiece is played.

So happy you covered those last two chords! Not that I don't love the rest of the song but that little part at the end always spoke to me and yet I've seen people post covers not playing it. Good to finally know the theory behind it.

[LucasZeb]

I dont play guitar or know anything about playing it, but this was still entertaining to watch!

[jakehkign]

Wow, you're the first person on youtube I think to include the variation at 8:58. NIce work

[guiguijhjhbj]

Bro Ive been watching your videos for the past 2years learning by memorization, but over the last 2months actually taking the time to learn the guitar this is a whole new experience, you are a great teacher and who else is teaching others to learn songs like this? Not many dude, you're blessing love your energy💯🙌

[hasanmir]

I hope you get loads of likes for this because the amount of work you put into this 30 minute video really deserves it.

I can’t thank you enough for all your TOOL lessons. I’m nearly two years into playing/learning guitar and you make it so understandable with all your knowledge and ability to translate. Thanks for being here and sharing your Skills and craftsmanship.

[oldsmobile]

youre the best guitar teacher on the internet dude. Ive seen so many of your videos over the years and you've been very helpful in helping me play better. Thank you. Keep inspiring man!

[austinburdick]

You broke down the last part of the solo perfectly. I’ve been struggling for like two weeks now. Trying this as soon as I get home. 😂

2:36 at the end of the riff before it repeats I don't play the open 4th string at all. I put on a tape delay with the mix turned down and those pull offs sound killer.
