TOOL - Sober (Guitar Cover with Play Along Tabs)

[@MaxNiessl]

Greetings everyone, finally I can provide y'all with some new content on here! Many of you have asked where I've gone or whether I've quit KZbin altogether. First of all, I haven't! I still want to make videos and I still love playing guitar. Also, I try to reply to most of your comments and questions! This community is awesome and I love being a part of it! 😄 But the hard reality is that KZbin is not my job and I don't make money from most of my KZbin videos (except via Patreon and my/our own songs). That's why KZbin will always remain a hobby and hobbies should stay fun. When I make videos, I really want to aim for precise tabs and it should be a fun process for me. Last year, I really ran against a wall with Third Eye since I couldn't really figure out key parts in the song which was more frustrating than fun and I obviously couldn't provide the quality y'all know from this channel. And after that, I somehow just froze and nothing happened here. I'm really sorry for that. This is why I'll be focusing on more comfortable songs for me to finish up for the time being. But maybe I'll tackle more daunting songs again in the future! I don't know how frequent I will post from here on, but I sure as hell want to create more content on here! 🤘

[@moutine]

Man I really appreciate the way you care about your channel. Its always fun to watch with or without the tabs so feel free to make content the way it makes it enjoyable for you !

[@MaxNiessl]

@@moutine Thank you so much! Will do :)

[@Rizsmook]

Welcome back! Good to have you on your guitar again. Any hope for us to hear a new Atonian tune soon?:D

[@MaxNiessl]

@@Rizsmook Thanks! Currently, we're not really working on anything, but who knows what the future may bring!

[@SMACKDOWN111]

Which part of Third Eye was the most frustrating? Id assume its the early solo with the weird guitar noodling in the background?

[@catsmokingavape8269]

I’d take quality over quantity when it comes to tool tabs any day of the week

[@DaGhost141]

Comeback of the year!

[@DenisBencic]

Fuck yeah! The official TOOL guitar covers channel is alive! :)

[@Kai..-]

Literally learnt this yesterday through multiple average videos and scrambling to find live footage. i can’t believe you post this now out of all times. i’ll be relearning it later today!

[@MaxNiessl]

Haha that’s awesome! :D

[@T-Bore]

Tooles Cover! Schön wieder was von dir zu sehen und zu hören. Mach dich nicht verrückt, Rückschläge gehören dazu und Pausen müssen sein 💚

[@MaxNiessl]

Danke dir! ❤️ Ja, mich freut es auch mal wieder was produziert zu haben, auch wenn es ewig her ist. Beste Grüße :)

[@RandomVideoGuy02]

The king has returned to his TOOL obsessed subjects!

[@farouttband2024]

HE FINALLY MADE SOBER!!!!

[@thorcaird]

You're the best at this Max, glad you're still there ! Take your time, I think we all apreciate what you have to offer, even though we will have to be patient ! =)

[@MaxNiessl]

@@thorcaird Thank you so much for understanding! :)

[@hamradiotube]

Oh dang, you went ahead and got yourself a Gibson! Very nice, congratulations.

[@MaxNiessl]

[@AlexPSage]

Well I'll be damn...Mom, get the camera! It's Max!!

[@MaxNiessl]

@@AlexPSage Hell yeah! :D

[@Tanks.With.Teeth.Malloy]

Prob one of the best in terms of mimicking the tone of Adam. So good….just so so good.

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you! 🤘🏼

[@kinshukruparelia2206]

Let’s Goooooo!! Tool was the reason I picked up a guitar, and I’m learning stinkfist, I was so sad thinking, well, I started late and probably wasn’t gonna see anymore of you, but this is AMAZING NEWSSS!!

[@MaxNiessl]

Awesome! Have fun learning then :)

[@mikalemadden1762]

He's alive! 😭😭😭 yaaaay!

[@rickpritchett4113]

Welcome back! Thanks for the latest submission. It's great as always. Lastly, never a need to apologize. There's no way the lot of us pay you enough relative to the value your videos provde to us. Keep doing them as long as you enjoy it and no more, no less.

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you so much! :)

[@jaimeurbano3653]

Just got a guitar and tried to learn some TOOL songs and stumbled on this. Thank you for posting this at the moment of my curiosity

[@MaxNiessl]

Perfect! Have fun :)

[@川上優樹-t9p]

こんにちは。 動画アップ待っていました。MaxNiesslさんの動画はTAB譜が見やすくてとても良い練習になります。また新しい動画を楽しみにしています。

[@jeramies]

So glad you’re back Max. I have learned several TOOL songs from these videos in the past few months and this is such a welcome surprise. Thanks for all the work you do.

[@MaxNiessl]

That’s so awesome! Always glad to here this! Have fun :)

[@Redastrasz]

YES DUDE, you're alive! I've learned guitar because of you, I studied all of your Tool videos and have moved onto Gojira now. I'm so happy you're back!

[@MaxNiessl]

That’s awesome! 🤘🏼

[@lordoth]

Awesome! Welcome back. I always self taught myself this and just discovered I've been playing it wrong all these years. Thank you

[@Sparksnorthern]

Looks like I found your channel at the right time, Max. Sound great 🤘

[@MaxNiessl]

@@Sparksnorthern You did! Welcome aboard :)

[@frgt10]

Max, ich wollte dir einfach nochmal "persönlich" sagen: Danke! Danke danke danke für deine unfassbare Arbeit! Ich bin seitdem ich 13 bin Tool fan und gitarrist, hab mein spielen die letzten Jahre sehr vernachlässigt aber navhdem ich deine Videos gefunden habe hast du mich wieder zum üben inspiriert! Ich versuche jeden Tag mit deinen Songs zu üben! Ich habe mir sogar - sozusagen als Zeichen der Dankbarkeit für dich und für die Jungs von tool - auch auf den linken unterarm den goldenen schnitt mit "spiral out, keep going" tätowieren lassen. Mach weiter so!

[@MaxNiessl]

@@frgt10 Hey, ein Tattoobuddy! 😎 Danke dir für die lieben Worte! Freut mich sehr, dass dir meine Videos so viel geben 🤘🏼 Viel Spaß beim Üben und liebe Grüße! 😄

[@dopeyquasar4007]

the GOAT returns, hope for more tabs to come 🤘

[@Jamtron88]

One of the first tool songs I learned and one that gives you a clear insight into AJ's techniques of extended power chords, tremolo picking on higher notes, unison bends, and of course phyrigian riffs. Excellent video!

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you! :)

[@paulm6341]

Absolutely killer ! So good you’re back !! 🔥🎸🤘

[@ghostreveries]

HES BACK ‼‼

[@mattsal2070]

Sooo good to see you, I’ve missed you sooo much, glad to see you back! If you’re ever looking to tackle some new songs, anything by the band Wheel would be amazing. You did a great cover of Vultures by them and I’d love to see more!

[@AlexPSage]

I just wanna say, what a cool thing to see you back. I know, you got life and work and other activities outside of KZbin of course, but man! It's cool to see another video from you man. Funny how I've been getting back into guitar after almost a year of not doing anything, looked up your Orestes video and a few days later you posted this BANGER VIDEO! Hope all is well Max, you take it easy ✌🏼🤘🏼

[@MaxNiessl]

That’s so cool, Alex! It feels really good knowing that my videos are helping and mean something. All the best to you and your guitar journey! :)
