"Fear Inoculum" from Tool's "Fear Inoculum" album (2019).
I wasn't actually going to cover anything from Fear Inoculum, but it seems like Tool unbanned every Tool video on KZbin. So yeah, here we are. Anyway, this will be in the comment section as well, but I've left the intro swells out. Most people will skip the swells anyway. So why did I? My volume knob makes this really annoying cracking sound when I do a swell, so the intro is just not going to happen with this bass. I had to record the swells at 3:07 so many times because of the cracking sound. But the intro is basically what I play at 3:10.
Delay settings : 335Ms, 1.5 Recirc.
Some important information that nobody is going to read.
Tuning : D-A-D-G
Artist : Tool
Bassist : Justin Chancellor
Album : Fear Inoculum (2019)
Song : FEAR INOCULUM
Bass : Warwick GPS Corvette 5A Ash

Thats tpol my friend

[@willwalter363]

I’ve watched every tool cover you’ve made and now can play at least 15 tool songs. Best covers out there.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thank you so much!

[@seldomme14]

When I was first getting into TOOL and watching live videos of them, I always wondered why Adam and Justin were so stationary. It's obvious now from watching your videos the sheer amount of concentration they have to put into what they're playing everytime they play! Damn I love the complexity of their music. Great job my friend !!

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Exactly :) Well, Justin moves quite a lot, but Adam really is the definition of stationary I guess. I think it fits Tool though. Very serious musicians. Thank you!

[@First.Take.Jake.]

Yeah, I also think it's because they want to draw more attention to the music - that's part of TOOL's philosophy - when you focus on the teller of the tale, rather than the tale itself, you lose some meaning. Same principle here I think. Still hanging out for when TOOL comes to Australia next. Spiral out!

[@ravelitschimo]

man, so quickly. I wish I would have your ears.

[@blackdog5186]

4:38 this is where it gets funky 🕺🏿

[@haydenhuffman7976]

The effect a chorus pedal can have on a song is astonishing. One of the reasons I love Right in Two besides the harmonics. I love this song, thank you for covering it!

[@seb5542]

I know right. Even if it's only on a bit it's such a difference.

[@kandem01]

Is it not a delay pedal and a chorus?

[@Nameonly67]

I don't have a chorus so I just throw in a extra 0 between the 2s and 5s lol it sounds aight 😂

[@moesaurenman4734]

again showing why you are the man! so talented your gifts to the community are greatly appreciated

[@yigitcengil2465]

You are grossly underrated as always.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thanks as always man!

[@grungyasscinema]

You're quick. Is this the first cover of this song on KZbin? That'd be pretty dope.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

I think it's like the 8th cover or something, but it's definitely the first tabbed bass cover.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Yes, I skipped the intro with the volume swells. Why? My volume knob makes this really annoying cracking sound when I do a swell, so the intro is just not going to happen with this bass. The intro is the exact same as what I play at 3:10. EDIT : MediaFire has banned me from uploading the tab for this song. That's why there are no links to the tabs I guess..

[@georgiykireev9678]

I want to ask one question - do you edit the track in any way while deciphering it? There are sections here that would be a huge pain to tab out without altering the mix

[@stevenvalenti3722]

Great playing Leo. I just discovered your channel. You are really great at remembering all those songs. I wish I could play that good. But I can't remember hard songs. I can't wait for the new tool album. I love them. It's been a helluva long wait for a new album.😂

[@TristanTheGamer01]

But, it's just Adam doing it

[@stangel123]

The potentiometer's track is dusty. To solve the problem, you have to put isopropylic alcohol inside the hole in the back of the potentiometer, roll the knob some times and it'll get clean. Easy job.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Adam does the lower part, Justin counters with the higher swells.

[@sebfaucher8508]

the sound of your bass ... awesome

[@jell-ohammer2476]

14 YEARS WE HAVE WAITED Great job as always! Awesome to finally see new Tool content on this channel. Really like Fear Inoculum so far, hoping the rest of the songs are as good.

Hope so too! This song is amazing.

[@srayondatta4399]

Not even a week since their release...and you are showing up as always, my man!!! Great to hear from you. Much love❤❤

[@mattlawson714]

I feel like a “Tool” commenting again, but I appreciate the fact that you added a little bit more treble on your bass so those of us on laptops can hear it. That’s exceedingly rare. Tool likes to hide those slinky lines in the midrange, to really mess with you, but you brought it to the front in just the right way without obscuring the underlying pulse, tone, and other tracks.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

I think the real difficult part is actually moving bass to the front if you're playing on top of a track. Glad to hear about the treble though!

[@wolframheldmaier727]

You dare to listen to it on the notebook? Shame on you. Always use adequate headphones to listen to BASS!

[@Massachamp08]

one thing I do is turn the treble on my bass amp all the way up when I play, the way it should be

[@felooosailing957]

Awesome song, worth the wait. Great that we didn't have to wait for a great cover yo show us all how it's done, congratulations.

[@juanschwartz2597]

The call and response between Adam and Justin finally clicked for me..Holy shit.

Thank you Leo for all the time and effort you put into your videos. I can’t tell you how excited I am for the ‘Fear Inoculum album & I cant wait to learn this on my bass

[@timothethomann576]

YEEEEEEEEEEES, YOU'RE BACK !!! Thank you so much !

[@kimfaucher007]

I guess the most difficult thing to achieve with these hypnotic repeating riff is consistency with the picking hand and staying in time with the odd time signatures... Great job man!

[@tetsusiega2]

Kim Faucher I’ve always said, unlike most bands, the difficulty of Tool’s work is mostly in the Right hand, not the Left.

[@jobvanderdoelen6512]

Thank you very much :) I'm glad to hear that.

Your covers are awesome! Thank you! I've come across live vids of Justin playing the opening riff exclusively on the 2nd and 3rd strings (rather than jumping down to the 4th for the higher notes) but man...you always seem to nail everything.

Playing Tool fingerstyle is very fun, lots of interesting challenges.

[@danielhansen6991]

Quinn Minnehan totally fun and challenging, I've always played bass with my fingers, for me it's easier than using a pick, I'm not used to playing with a pick.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Same here. I would've covered all these songs without a pick if it wasn't for the tons of comments like "You're supposed to play it with a pick!!"

[@kostaslazaridis1699]

[@mattlawson714]

I so needed this. I understood the guitar part fine, but the bass was elusive to me, especially when Adam comes in with that 11/8 groove. I thought for sure Justin was in a way different time signature, like 6/8 or 9/8 or something, I respect how much easier this is in 11/16, yet still sounding more complicated. This song grows on me every day.... now who's gonna cover this on drums?!?! Because that would be insane.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

We can only hope that Johnkew decides to do a drum cover of Fear Inoculum since he's just too damn good.
