TOOL - Intension / Right In Two (Guitar Cover with Play Along Tabs)

[@MaxNiessl]

As you all know, what you hear is what you see here. It usually takes up to 5 hours of recording until I have that one take that I'm gonna use for the video. Not to flex or anything, but this was the *first frickin' take* . Hope you enjoyed! 🤘

[@bendykirby4828]

>first take I can already hear Vinnie Paul’s voice in the back of my head

[@AlexPSage]

Just when I though I wouldn't bother learning Intension, this man right here....changed my mind 🤣😂 Awesome work once again man 😎🤘🏼

[@MR_MIRTH]

When you get all the equipment, third eye is gonna be fun.

[@MaxNiessl]

@@AlexPSage Yep, there isn't much happening guitar-wise, but it ties in perfectly :)

[@AlexPSage]

@@MaxNiessl Why of course it does.... Tool knew what they were doing 😎 Another 10,000 Days song will be learned 👍🏼 Keep up the awesome work like you know how 🤘🏼

[@SpaceSanctum]

These may not get a ton of views but trust me, those of us who know really appreciate these videos

[@MaxNiessl]

Thanks! 🤘

[@triggerhappy77707]

Can confirm, so far 85% of the songs I have tried learning are from Max. Certainly an inspiration and a great resource, especially for starting my journey with guitars!

[@Brosephus]

Yes for real its like hearing the song for the first time.

[@mattmatthews1398]

Right In Two has one of the most climactic, energetic riffs I've heard from all of Tool.

Because of you Max people that want to learn tool on guitar can learn the songs the right way and play along to them to help learn faster thank you man for what you do for the TOOL ARMY we appreciate it seriously!

The natural harmonics at 9:02 is awesome! TooL will always be my favorite band, the melodies they play in their songs are masterpieces of musical art from their instruments.💯💯💯

[@First.Take.Jake.]

Loved how you were just re-tuning at 3:17, honestly reminds me of me haha

The breakdown at 3:29 is just the greatest break down ever

[@deadohiosky1701]

These songs are truly fine wine, only get better with age

[@turtlegoo9604]

Oh my god I’m normally not the biggest fan of intension, love right in two, but now I love both of them, holy shit this is a good cover

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you, 🐢!

[@dimetilldeath]

3:57 The note on the 5th fret on the D string was played so in sync that you can not distinguish it from the original. Once in a lifetime note.

[@ShaakTisElectricKoolAid]

I've been wanting to learn this on the harp. Thank you for making this. Now I know what Adam Jones is actually doing.

[@MaxNiessl]

Go for it! 🤘

[@larry3483]

I don’t even have an electric guitar but I love to watch Max play

[@trolologuy02]

Pick one up and start playing man, it’s truly rewarding

[@bendykirby4828]

Funny story: When I first listened to Intension, I (somehow) thought that intro guitar line was a reversed audio track instead of just volume swells. After seeing this video, I was curious as to how it would’ve sounded like if that was the case, and if it had another “secret” riff when played backwards (like the Blackened intro). So I went and reversed the clip, and surprisingly, it sounded pretty bad.

[@MaxNiessl]

Haha me too! I just sounds so inversed. But we don't have any evidence that Adam is playing it like that. He plays it on keys live :)

[@bendykirby4828]

@@MaxNiessl Wait really? I don’t know why that’s funny but it is.

[@JeandIrlande22]

Love the primate at the beginning. Very symbolic.

[@rjb10101]

Right in Two is quite the masterpiece.

[@AngeloTonin]

Wow I can believe it both Intension and right in two Just hit differences and the Baseline is absolutely insane I love it so much so keep it up the work man.

[@a_teopequeno6665]

I love right in two with all my heart and soul, it's for me, the best masterpiece of music i never heard in all my short life man. That song change my all perspective of my self and all things and concepts in general. I will keep sayin' it, it's the best song i ever heard.

[@jasonmyers3847]

Someone get this guy an Adam Jones Les Paul! He deserves one.

[@wilhelmrogue1]

If i could play as good as you there would definitely be some “flexin”... rock on sir, great job!

[@nervosuu]

Me yesterday: I wish Max had Right in Two... Max:

[@santapoca]

I was having a really bad day and this was just the reminder I needed to look forward. Also, I always thought the pull-off at 11:23 was some massive chord. It's still the heaviest single sound on the two songs xD amazing

[@MaxNiessl]

Glad to improve your day a bit, Ramon! These times can be tough, hang in there :) This definitely is the heaviest sound on 10.000 days lol 😂

[@relevantbrother8964]

This wall of guitar sound brings a whole different dimension ..love it!

[@navedalam9333]

It takes special talent to make someone realise they were missing essential elements of song they have been listening for years. You did that. Thanks to you, i now know about certain nuances which didn't ever register on my mind. You sir, are a true music Jedi. Thank you and spiral out!

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying my content :)

[@anuman99ful]

I couln't miss this one. Mashing up Intension and Right in Two in one video is simply great, amazing sound bud (as always). Needless to say, really on point cover, sounds as if you had just turned the volume of the guitar track in the originals up!

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you, bud! Glad you enjoyed the video 🤘 those songs really have to be played together ;)

[@eLeCtRoXaLLeCs]

You can't have right in two without intension, just like you can't have parabola without parabol

[@hammer37745]

That transition was spot on as always, another amazing cover🤙🙏

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you!

[@Drummuz]

Man ! i just playing back to my guitar since 10 years with the goal to learn every tool song, after i found your channel, you give me all the knowledge and the motivation, It's an amazing work you do here and i thank you from every adams jones/tool fan.

[@DocMarbh]

Right in Two starts at 7:19. Great video, Max. Gotta admire how you make it look so easy! Definitely my fav song off 10,000 Days. So when are we getting Reflection? :D

[@MaxNiessl]

Thanks, Stephen! Glad you dig it 🤘 Well well well, don't know about that yet. But I can guarantee you that it will be done :)

[@MaxNiessl]

Go ahead, man! 🤘

[@johncarter88]

I have been trying to learn these songs by ear and peak at a semi-correct tab found on some sites for years. Taking time now to truly apply myself to learning Tool songs. You're definitely going to help me with that process. Thanks for your work on these videos. It is a big deal for those of us who find this a therapeutic experience.

[@flyingnimbus369]

🙌Hands down man. Riff from 13 34 to 13 43 tapping the 12th fret on lower d while plucking the open d (the higher one) at the same time. Today I'm convinced. Adam Jones is a genius.

[@FPrimeHD1618]

I absolutely love your videos. My best friend and I use to spend so much time back in day when the albums came out figuring out these songs. It's so cool to see how you go about decomposing everything and I've learned so much about their songs from you and Cameron Winters! Keep up the amazing work!

Damn man, right in two is my fav tool song. When I saw you uploaded a cover I didn't want to hear it on the flight and set an alarm for the evening to hear it right before I sleep. I ended up staying up way longer than I actually planned and missed the alarm. Some minutes ago I got a push up from your new cover and I was like 'Fuck.. I forgot about something'. This cover is truly magnificent to say the least. I really got lost in it and still am kinda speechless. You're awesome man, these words don't do it justice.

Not only are all the nuances there (Adam makes it seem so damn easy) but with such a long piece (even if you didn't give Intension/Right in Two the Eon Blue Apocalypse/The Patient, Parabol/Parabola treatment it would have been) and it is more than enough of a challenge. Great stuff :)
