TOOL - Jimmy (Guitar Cover with Play Along Tabs)

[@deferdfive0928]

Definitely an underrated gem in their discography, that main riff is really fun to play too

[@thecoconutgum]

I know right?

[@fiscalcpiano]

Definitely underrated! what a good song - so colorful

[@kawafanatic]

Absolutely. I have been hooked on this song for the last 2 weeks like crazy. Listening to it over and over and over again. This is why nothing comes close to Tool, at least for me. You can be mesmerized by any of their songs at any given point in time and just get lost in it. I have been a fan for 20 years and never looked back once I found them. I wish for everybody to find something in their life, be it music or anything else, to give them the feeling I and many people around the globe have while listening toTool. A journey indeed.

[@danielyarnell1995]

A whole Tool discography eventually on this channel, would be so amazing. These have been the most accurate tabs I’ve seen

[@genkimonkeygaming3027]

This channel and TOOL alone have completely reignited my love for guitar. So thankful for TOOL and amazing fans like Max.

[@d.j.9305]

I’ve been learning to play guitar for a couple years now & I’ve gotta say you’ve got the best video production on tabs I’ve seen yet! And of TOOL songs of all things (bless you) lol. Grateful for these man, thank you!

Hey Max. You're the best cover (with tabs) content creator. Can you do more of The Ocean?

[@optipwr40]

Great video and playing Max! Do you emulate your pedals with the kemper as well? Is it a preset with them on and preset with them off etc? or do you have control to toggle the pedals during the preset? Just curious :)

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you! I have presets for different gain settings, but the pedals are seperate stomps in the Kemper that I’m toggling if needed :)

[@spaceboyo9676]

I don’t know if you still do Karnivool covers but I’ve yet to see one of Illumine and I know you’d do it justice if you were interested. If not, you make great videos and keep up the good work dude :)

[@dizz_317]

Please do THIRD EYE….album or salival version. Would love to hear your take on the effects and tone knob changes throughout the song….it would complete the Aenima album too…thanks

[@Brankas]

I love how accurate your tabs always are. I Doubt he uses fuzz though. Maybe on the album, but live he only rolls off the tone knob.

[@MaxNiessl]

Thanks! Yeah you’re right, I just thought it sounded better since I’m not using his special “dual amp setup” :)

[@Brankas]

@@MaxNiessl Yeah ofc! It sounds very nice. Its not everyone who can crank a VH4 and a Plexi at home to record a song without hearing loss 🥴. Just pointed it out so no one starts looking for a fuzz to get his tone ahah. Great playing as usual. You're everyone's "go to" for learning Tool songs properly. Thanks Max

[@synnarc]

On point!

[@ryanrollins9570]

Overall great stuff. The Chorus C section at 1:12 is just slightly incorrect, like barely. The bended notes have an alternating pattern. First time it's two quick full bends and then the second time it's one slow full bend and hold with vibrato. Tabbed out it would be something like: A|-:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: D|-:--0-10-12-10-12(b^14r12b^14)---0-10-12-10-12(b^14~)--: May seem nitpicky but these are the little details that make this band what they are. Thanks for making these though, it's tough making complete tabs, hope my correction/suggestion formats alright as a comment lol

[@Chili.512]

You should definitely do Rishloo - Feathergun in the Garden of the Sun. It's challenging but so fun to play once you get it down.

[@Drummuz]

Oh yeah !!!!

[@dalethomas1853]

dude you gotta stop my tool set is 4 hours long already😂jk amazing work

[@cameronunderwood2717]

Love the video bro, I do have a question tho. Do I pick the sliding notes? For example after you hit the open d and slide from 3 to 12 do I strum when I fret the 3? New player so I’m trying to figure out tabs lmao

[@MaxNiessl]

Thanks! I do pick them, but only once I’ve fretted the 12th fret :)

[@cameronunderwood2717]

@@MaxNiessl thank you for the response! So hit the open d and just fret on the 3 and slide to 12 and pick?

yo how do you feel about your les paul, just ordered an gibson les paul standard 60s and feeling nervous about it lmao. Considering all the bad rep gibson has had about their qc and such.

[@MaxNiessl]

I’m personally very happy with the guitar. Coming from my previous guitars, the quality is astounding. In my experience most guitars above the 1.200$ mark are very well made. I would say though, that anything above 1.200$ is more of a cosmetic defined price tag and won’t alter the sound much. At least that is my experience. Also, single bodied guitars are prone to break if not handled with care - no matter the price tag. Hope that gives you comfort and have fun with your guitar! 🤘🏼
