I think it actually IS the definition of 'impressive as fuck'. I mean, I watched my 1SG quick draw his 9mm and shoot an Iraqi guy right through the hand at 25+ yards because he was holding what looked like a pistol (was a flashlight)...and I thought that was impressive as fuck!

Man talk about feeling the music! He didn't play that song, he channeled it.

I think what a lot of people--especially those 18 downvotes--are failing to appreciate is not just the love this guy has for the material, but that he's not just covering the guitar. He's also doing an amazing job of playing the extremely disparate drum track from the song; if you've ever heard Adam discuss Danny's beats, you would appreciate this even more, considering Danny often can play in four different time signatures at once.

Not even a million views on the best cover of all time, this dude is absolutely amazing.

I have no idea how 1 man makes the sounds of 4 band members collectively at the same time. 🤯

Lateralus. Reaching out to embrace the random. Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

His strap blends in so well with his shirt it looks like the guitar is just floating in front of him. And if it was, that is the only thing that could make this more amazing.

My wife doesn’t like Tool. But she absolutely loves these versions of their songs. She’s an idiot on the first point. Definitely not the second. Great stuff sir.

That is awesome, the longer I play the more I realize there is no end to the guitar.

Don't know whether my slack jaw is through amazement or jealousy. I play guitar for myself but I am at some bacteria level whilst you have achieved a enlightened level. Spiral out. Incredible

I don't get it. How you can play all 4 parts, with an accuracy that lets me sing along and allows my head to hit the changes right when I expect them. One guy, one guitar, one shot. You are phenomenal.

Um, how can anyone dislike this? Thanks to this cover I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected, once again.

I clicked on this fully expecting to hate it. But it is F****ing awesome!

When Jimi sang: I am standing next to a mountain....he was talking about Ernesto's soul....But even Jimi could not cut it down with the edge of his hand. Nothing could contain the soul of Ernesto - ....whoa.

After at least 52 times hearing your version of this ( A masterpiece in it's own right. ) at about the 7 minute mark I always find myself saying " With my feet upon the ground I lose myself between the sounds, and open wide to suck it in and 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. "

Ernesto Schnack, the eighth wonder of the world. Beautiful work.

WOW! I play this the normal Adam Jones way, but this is amazing Ernesto! TOOL is proud of you. The thumbs down people are lost.

Without a doubt one of the greatest guitarists to ever live.

You know it's good when I can jump into the middle of his videos and know exactly where he is in a TOOL song.

I have that exact guitar, a Martin DM. And while it is awesome, mine doesnt do that lol.

I like how in between the parts where you transition from both hands on the neck to strumming you simply play a single tap on the body of the guitar. Simple yet effective.

NO WAY! those chords and melody at the same time blew my mind!

guitar, bass, vocal leads, drums.. this isn't just a guitar cover, it's an entire band/song cover.. jedi master for sure!!

Steven Stinson I wouldn't call "Lateralus" hard rock. It's definitely less shreddy than typical metal and lacks the usually-defining fast tempos (depending on the subgenre of metal in question), but its funky time signatures and overall more classical-music-like nontraditional structure put it pretty squarely in the realm of metal rather than rock. There's quite a lot of more contemplative metal out there with these prog flavors rather than heavier ones (although Tool and Porcupine Tree definitely make most of the best of it.)

Love the tapping part in the verse when u do the drums, bass and voice at the same time. Amazing!

It's like each of the fingers on your left hand has its own brain! Amazing man. Lateralus is my all time favorite song, bravo!!

Why have I not seen this until now? This is the 6th of the Tool covers. All amazing!

How tf I see that first time after 10 years! Great job man.

Wow guitar drums and vocals all on one instrument, and with a Tool song of all things... if you asked me prior to watching this I wouldn't have thought it to be possible.

You have just rekindled my love of music and playing guitar after a very long time away. For that I will forever be grateful. You Sir are amazing. You make me want to be better, thankyou.

This man is someone to pay attention to. I have played the guitar and most stringed instruments since I was five years old. including the piano, bass, viola, stand up bass, and chello. I am now 37. he has accomplished what ive been searching for for quite some time. he can use the guitar as a second language. I will learn his style and use it to influence my own technique as should all musicians

My favorite song, but it has never brought tears to my eyes until your cover today.
