  • Guitar cover of "Pneuma" by TOOL with on-screen tabs - learned by ear.
    Hope you enjoy the video! Please post your suggestions! :)
    This definitely is my favourite song from the album. The mid-section gives me chills every time. And it still does after recording this cover for about 8 god damn hours - not many songs can do that for me :D
    Either 7empest or Culling Voices will follow, depending on the time I have currently.
    And I finally got around to configure some Diezel profiles on my Kemper. It's not a Diezel VH4, but a Diezel Hagen and I love it! :D
    - USEFUL INFORMATION -
    Tuning: Drop D (D A D G B E)
    Tape Delay: 520ms
    Tabs have been updated according to the corrections listed below!
    25: This is being played on the low strings
    54: Play only 2 notes on the low D string, the rest is delay. Similar to 96
    49: You can play the C on the G string on the D string as well. Just more comfortable for me.
    271: I used a flanger for the solo guitar here.
    234: Same as 25
    257: Played on the lower D string.
    278: The solo seems to be played way higher up the fretboard.

      I always wondered why you play 3 notes all the time through at 2:12. Even on the studio version, you only hear 2 notes, it's just changing up with 3 (audible) notes every other time. So I played 2 3,2,3 etc...
      Thought it's a neat detail.

  • @alpine-man
    @alpine-man Před 4 lety +5

    The main riff is the best use of implied metric modulation I have ever heard. Danny is playing a 12/8 shuffle treating the dotted 8th note as a quarter note for the first half of the riff, making the song sound 50% slower. Then the snare hit in the second measure snaps the pulse into the "correct" tempo.
    2 tempos at the same time. Tool never ceases to amaze.

    • @alpine-man
      @alpine-man Před 4 lety +1

      Also nuts: at measure 96, Adam is playing as if the phrase is 7/4 - 5/8 - 7/4 and the downbeat is a quarter note earlier, but Danny is still playing it as 7/4 - 7/4 - 5/8 using the original downbeat. So the song not only has 2 simultaneous tempos, it has 2 simultaneous downbeats.

    I'm totally addicted to the new album it's a masterpiece.
    I think I'm a fairly good player when it comes to rock and blues. Somehow Tool tracks I shy away from because I just can't count the time signatures. This has inspired me to have a go, I'll probably just have to feel my way through but I just have a feeling 'I have to learn this!'

    Now listen here, I am (probably as everyone around here) a gigantic Tool fan and I've been waiting for the exact moment for the album to come out. As I listened it, I fell in love with all the songs, but with this one, the most. I typed in to see are there any covers yet and to be honest, a very pleasant surprise waited for me! You, my brother, are so underrated, you deserve a million times more subscribers than this, you have an enormous talent which everyone should appreciate! Well done on covering the song, I personally think it's the hardest one to play on the album. How long did it take you to learn it and how long have you been playing overall? I've been playing guitar for 2 years, and about a year ago I learned all the songs from Lateralus and 10,000 days. But this one looks so hard because of the time signatures, but I will sure do my best to try and learn it. Once more, thanks for this video and all the other ones you make, much love and respect!!!

      Holy shit, dude, thank you so much for your kind words! So sweet waking up to comments like yours :) I've been playing guitar for about 10 years now (started at 11) and my first guitar teacher introduced me to Tool with Vicarious and Lateralus. Immediately got hooked, but listened only sporadically until I was like 15. Then the obsession began, as I bought their albums one after the other. They are my constant source of peacefulness and happiness in this world :)
      Pneuma took me friday evening to tab it out, synced a click to it at Saturday morning and recorded from 1 PM to 9 PM to get that perfect take. Was a bit ill that day so I've gone through many bad takes and stages of disappointment xD It's still my favourite so! :)
