yeah Maynard posted it on his personal facebook page

[@dakotamax2]

The acoustic guitar has such a range of expressive voices, this guy seems to know where all of them have been hiding. Wow, just... wow.

[@HiFiAwardTour]

Dude... is this real life?

[@Urb4n0Ninj4]

Well. I guess anyone else who tries to upload a cover of Lateralus on an Acoustic should just not bother anymore. Holy shit this is incredible.

[@simpleanswer8954]

Greetings from the future. Tell that to this guy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKqncml5ibukndk

[@AimTVSydney]

Sam at his best, why this didn't get a million views i don't know!!

[@ffmatheus]

totally agree! his best performance ever and best cover of Tool song on a acoustic guitar!

[@w1ndex]

Well, sometimes good things come to those who wait, I just now discovered this tonight and added to it's view count, so there ya go. =)

[@asar.6560]

Gosh, Sam, can you teach me?

[@natashametlikovic989]

AimTVSydney only halfway there ;D

[@toddwebb2862]

+Kikuchyo I do like this cover. My favorite tool and acoustic cover is ginarae18's cover of jimmy. Goosebumps every time.

[@AvocAtoTaco]

I looooooooove Tool. They are my favourite band of all time... And this cover is phenomenal. Well done!

[@rikiwakwak]

Why hasnt this guy been in everybodys ear by now? Why in the Blue Fuck, am i just now finding this guy? Where can i buy everything he has ever recorded? Does anybody want to buy my guitar? I no longer need it. Needless to say, thumbed up. Subbed. Well f'n done yougn fella.

[@Guitarmon8]

Seriously... WTF... This is absolutely amazing. Speechless. I can't even begin to imagine how much concentration and skill is required to play this.

[@DanGartman]

This is.. by FAR.. one of the best, if not THE best Tool cover I have ever witnessed!

[@gayleareheart8969]

This guy rocks!!! I may be a 58 yr. old woman, however, I grew up w/ROCK. Thumbs up! :D

[@rikiwakwak]

+Gayle Areheart HOTTTT! ; )

[@Satandidit]

I wish I could hit the like button a million times. I've listened to this song 5 times and it still is as epic as it was the first time. Thanks Sam for working so hard, and doing what you do. It's very much appreciated.

[@wherepostrockdwells]

Well, now I am sure that it takes a 'Godlike' being to cover one of the songs from the GODS! This is an out of the world piece of music mate :-)

[@garyh35]

Not only does he capture the feel and chords of the song, he has this whole other thing going on in his head that comes out as a groove beat that reinterpreted the whole song. Hands down, freaking amazing

[@h8bone]

Absolutely love these versions of great songs

[@donut1800]

Best tool cover I've ever heard.

[@DharmaMidget]

One of my favorite songs, done beautifully. Absolutely amazing technique.

[@rafaelalmeida2182]

this guys is a BEAST!

[@Aldragor101]

LOVE your work Sam. Everything you do is amazing. Even when people comment about your voice, to me its just comedic contrast. You put so much character into your vocals and your guitar work is, well, that speaks for itself. Keep it up, man!

[@DragAmiot]

This song demonstrates your talent so well. It's amazing to see such a master at work

[@DharmaMidget]

Absolutely amazing! Beautiful performance of one of my favorite songs.

[@dionmax0]

Without a doubt, one of the most impressing performances I've EVER seen. Your focus and control of percussion and melody at unusual tempos is astonishing to say the least. Congratulations, the hard work really payed up. We need more musicians like you to get exposure instead of whatever new bland tune they pump out on the mass media and repeat to exhaustion. The best of lucks

[@Brendan085]

This is amazing.....what talent! I usually skip around to different parts of cover videos but this I watched in full. Just amazing man keep it up!

[@oliverjones86]

Amazing... this guy does the voice, the guitar, the bass and the drum at the same time, on a SINGLE instrument...

[@hugoalbertovillagran313]

Just Awesome ..this kind of skills and dedication make that great song always be so fresh interpretated... Thanks Sam and Thanks AimTVSydney to support this talent....regards

[@nicolofantato5623]

Man, this is absolutely one of the best interpretation ever! Keep going. Support and sharing from Italy. Cheers, dude!

[@FlameBlue9016]

This body of work still holds up 9yrs later.

[@helenabeat8592]

My jaw was on the floor throughout the entire video! Some INSANE skills he's got!

[@Pez2176]

One of the most Extraordinary Tool covers I've ever heard....and by ONE person, alone. W0W! You, Sir- are the man. ;)

[@guto956]

you nailed the entire song in one instrument, you're a genius

[@J_CtheEngineer]

This is my favorite song by Tool, and one of my favorite Rock songs ever. Thank you!

[@tarnationsauce2]

This one is my favorite so far. Also my favorite tool song to watch Live.

[@danielgockerell]

Most crunchy. I give it 46&2 thumbs up

[@Temporal72]

I would see this shit 10.000 times

[@theqgene826]

Dudes amazing. He’s got that stinkfist

[@drummerpablo1]

Truly an extraordinary rendition. That you even had the audacity to attempt such a complex song this way is worth commending, but you really blew me (and everyone) away. This must have taken you so long to put together! The only way this could've been better would've been if you did the 5:6 polyrhythm, but that much complexity is not something anyone would expect. You play through the 3:4 polyrhythm jam out really well even though it's literally impossible without more people. Very impressive!

[@egicoc]

This must be one of the best cover of lateralus that I ever heard. Just great man! Keep doing!

[@lutfisken]

Best I've heard for a long time! Magic!

[@mrgdavies]

one of the best things ive seen / heard musically for a long long time, well done Sir

[@atolmasoff]

This is absolutely mesmerizing to watch and listen to

[@giraffeapproved]

This is one of those videos you could watch over and over and always appreciate.

[@fenris748]

Absolutely incredible. What a talent.

[@swish007]

Keep coming back to this video.. This is the fourth time I've watched it this week

[@fabiomarchiotto4141]

Drums, guitar, bass and voice! All-in-one

[@McSmijens1]

Wow...I was utterly mesmerized by that performance. Just incredible, man! This goes to show that Tool brings about amazing musicianship in not just themselves, but everyone!

[@HayleeDawnify]

Listening to your covers is like getting my ears laid. I listen and watch and it brings nonstop tears of happiness. Every band that you have covered should be fucking proud. You are a guitar playing GOD!!!! Keep it up man

[@jarodalden1394]

Don't know that this could be done any better. Hats off to ya Sir.

[@ne0nicecream]

so cool, that rhythm hand is something else

[@joeyagnew3032]

Lost of Words...Speechless!!!

[@Zaven59]

Couldn't wipe the smile off of my face the entire time. Amazing.

[@confusedenormaton]

this is honestly the greatest thing I have ever seen.

[@veferbogot]

The last 30 seconds really blew my mind. Really good job.

[@AngeliqueBulosan]

Amazing! Love the song choice. Your interpretation is fabulous. Thank you for posting!

[@brianbernstein3826]

phenomenal... really really phenomenal

[@alejandrostandstill]

You are outstanding... SAM = GENIUS!

[@BrendaMachuca]

Woooooooww!!!!! I just can´t belive he is actually playing all these sonunds with only his guitar, just AWESOME!!

[@wove9]

If Tool where ever to be one-upped by anything, it would rightfully be a single human being. Taking in and combining the efforts of each member into one beautiful rendition of their song. Bravo.

[@Rustinpeace117]

This gives me goosebumps.

[@ophicermango]

2020 COVID-19 lockdown brought me here. Thank you for entertaining us all with your unearthly talent!

[@cameronbrownGabriel011235]

just fanastic skills ...never seen anything like it ..great post

[@krisfrigault219]

Absolutely mind blowing

[@jordanperry5]

Sweet! I love the vocals on top of the guitar percussion

[@SamWestphalen]

The intro song is 'Grey Pigs'. It's an original that we filmed in this shoot. It's the next video in the playlist.

[@jamespeckham5703]

Frikkin Awesome !!!! More Tool PLEASE !!!!!!!

[@ElChanguito5]

IMPRESIONANTE!!!!!! Saludos y gracias!!! desde Argentina.

[@rockervenegas1550]

This guy is a monster!! this is the type of cover I'd watch!

[@arsalsedo53]

The drums alone on this song are hard to play but my god this guy is playing both drum beat and guitar at the same time. WELL DONE!

[@kalstheman]

Amazing! What a talent!!

[@HarveyMeadowlark]

Just amazing. Bravo

[@GUTERDONE]

Please keep making more videos. You are amazing!!

[@boomer8201]

Simply..Incredible

[@laughinfrenchy]

Amazing and just so unique! Love it!

[@jobsfitzpatrick]

[@Allbrook86]

Wowowowowowow. Speechless. I listen to this cover on repeat while at work, I love everything about it...

[@TheLethalTomato]

The last 30 or so seconds were intense, loved it. Need to learn percussion for guitar

[@HappyKatanaGaming]

[@davenolan501]

Still that BEST I've ever seen !! Dude your da man

[@martyg8137]

Outstanding.

[@DanVillanuevaZ4]

[@EricvanHaren]

Amazing, you ARE the man on guitar.

[@stricken667]

I really love this kid!!! Dang that is sooooo cooool!

[@eisenberg3915]

Just Amazing.

[@MinussHuman]

Amazing cover on amazing song!!! True masterpiece. WOW!

[@fretplayer87]

Dude you deserve a lots and lots of more fame! Kudos Sam! Keep on doing good work! Best wishes from India :)

[@jbuell311]

This was very refreshing and different. Awesome job.

[@Jackal216]

This guy is incredibly talented. Trying to keep up with this dude is splitting my brain right in two LOL. Good job!

[@darkdjordje]

Just excellent!

[@wove9]

You're doing very well as a human being, phenomenal talent.

[@thomaspeters5889]

Note the classical guitar position, the left wrist kept straight to allow maximum access to the fretboard. This is a new and exciting breed of soloist that includes percussion with style still in development. Listen to the original version of the song to appreciate this young mastet and his brilliant dynamics.

[@jnkdlx]

Great Sam!!!

[@sonicdeviant]

Incredibly good!!!

[@THEgameDeity]

Beyond awesome.

[@dreamwizard2000]

I not only love his skills,but also the great insightful comments

[@scotthutchinson4930]

Go Sam love it

[@nextdsfilms]

Mind Blown

[@moesix]

I've just been floored by this

[@musicformymuse]

Mindblown.

[@vileprayer]

What an awesome cover

[@zachpak6579]

He switched it up from the other one I saw of him performing Lateralus and I must say I like this one a lot more, but they are both such amazing performances.

[@nicheadlee]

Wow, this one is the best cover you've done yet imo.... great work!

[@jaebby06]

WOW!!!! That was INSANE! definite eargasm!
