TOOL - Stinkfist (Guitar Cover with Play Along Tabs)

[@MaxNiessl]

A tune I haven't learned until now. That's the Tool I love dearly! Been absent for a while since I'm finishing my first song recording ever (!!!). Hopefully it'll be finished and released by the end of the decade. I'm very excited to share this with you, has been a lot of fun to compose! I suppose this will be the last cover this year so I wish you all happy holidays and a good start into the new year! If the community post function works properly again, I'll keep you up to date of what is going on. As a little holiday gift, the guitar only version will be available to every patron regardless of the payed amount. Cheers :)

[@micahboswell6672]

I did not know you were working on some original content!? Where would I be able to stay in the loop on this? The channel I assume?

[@MaxNiessl]

@@micahboswell6672 Yes, exactly! When it's finished it will be posted here and distributed to streaming services. I don't think you will miss out on anything as long as you're subscribed here :)

[@samgarbo]

Max Niessl this is my favorite tool song but I like playing the live version better

[@mrc404]

bless us with your original work

[@tyreetravis7560]

Fantastic work my friend. As usual.

[@dimetilldeath]

This album has the sickest guitar tone in existence

[@mihai9857]

True, I love the tone in AEnima so much!

[@Illumignostic]

Nope. It got better when he added the Diezels. This is just Boogies , mostly.

[@godsfavouritecreation8246]

Yes, just listen Third Eye

[@ryukan250]

Kyuss "Sky Valley", Deftones "White Pony", Tesseract "Altered State" Gojira "Art of Dying", Isis "Panopticon" would be contenders

[@dan62273]

I would say Fear Inoculum has the sickest guitar tone in existence

[@dushan3572]

Bless your soul for these! Adam is deceptively complex...younger me had no idea. If you want to sound like the song, you need to know the nuances.

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you :)

[@TheQuentinSK8]

First Tool song that I really grew attached to, can’t wait to use this and learn it properly, excellent job my guy

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you :)

[@midhon]

4:05 one the best and emotional riff I ever heard, it like melts my heart ❤️

[@anonaconn]

So simple but so effective. The chorus riff is one of my all time favourite riffs, and even though it’s the same riff the last time it comes in it just hits differently, so much more power in it.

[@fathernojoy2706]

The TONE brother that TONE....amazing another good one son.

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you :)

[@lifewithcl9806]

Dude these are insanely awesome. I love going from the actual song to these covers

[@MaxNiessl]

Glad to hear that, dude!

[@CameronWinters]

Love the fake feedback. And you ❤️

[@MaxNiessl]

The feedback may be fake, but our love is real

[@johnathanpatrickdrake6609]

Much love

[@bendykirby4828]

The TeeTee is strong with this one.

[@PaulisInclusion]

I’ve probably watched this video over 20 times learning everything and now I got it. Thx man. And the intro to this song is one of favorites. When that riff kicks in it always gets me lol.

[@MaxNiessl]

That's great to hear, man! Keep it up \m/

[@bnycsi8660]

Dude thank you so much for doing this on all Tool songs....i have picked up my guitar to play again because of you doing this......now if i can only find someone to do Candiria songs like this i would be the happiest person on the planet

[@Vicarious1631]

I looked at the guitar you owned and thought “huh the price ain’t that bad”, but when I looked at the amp on the other hand, oh boy I’m broke 😂, keep up the good work yo, I’d love to see more videos like this.

[@MaxNiessl]

Haha thanks man, will do! I've been playing with a Line 6 Spider IV for about 10 years, so I decided to treat myself with the Kemper and the other studio equipment. This rack has been one of the best decisions I've made :)

[@ElectricMahatama]

Thats 2 grande

[@whinniethepimp]

Best tutorial video of this song I have found so far. The tabs do nothing but help that much more. You did really well. Thank you for this.

[@karmapolice911]

A true classic! I know how to play this one but you nailed all the fancy variations and the "coin scrapes", well done as always!

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you :)

[@cassiuscarter2832]

4:32 why do i want to listen to this on repeat haha so rad

[@infinimetrical]

This was a cool interpretation. Thank you. Gives me different angles on it.

[@MaxNiessl]

Thanks, glad it helps :)

[@lieutenant-llama6950]

This one rustles my jimmies.

[@MaxNiessl]

Haha :D

[@jayrodkc1]

Max, thank you for making these videos, they are an awesome gift to the Tool-loving aspiring guitarist community.

[@ericstapars442]

Love it !! Love how he plays it live even more. Awesome little touches here and there. Especially in the 2nd verse.

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you! Yes, I love how they've expanded on the track :)

[@jacob3233]

Wow this is perfect, always grateful to see new tool covers, and always such flawless playing!

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you so much! :)

[@Destructionater]

If I get a guitar this has to be one of my first to learn, since this is my GOAT Tool song

[@77headcreeps]

New Max video day is a good day. Love the coin scrapes 👍🏼

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you, brother! :)

[@dictent3343]

Those effects are spot on! It's a crime you don't have more subscribers, seriously. Hope you do a Rosetta Stoned cover some day! Keep it up!

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you! Very likely :)

[@ggstarwizzrd]

Keep spiraling those Tool tabs mate!

[@trentkraemer7109]

That double 5th power chord sounds so nice

[@frostyshake3314]

Thanks so much for your channel, i just got a guitar and amp after 12 years of not playing and learned this song thanks to you.

[@MaxNiessl]

That's awesome Aaron! Have fun! 🤘

[@catsven1973]

First sight .. already subscribed ! Thanks man !! For this great videos of the best 90´s rock band ever !

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you, welcome aboard! :)

[@rexfordhazelton7601]

Well done. Included all the little nuances too!

[@radiolocke]

I’ve always played the d note from the verse and intro on the open string rather then the fifth fret of the a string. Makes more sense considering the chorus is definitely open when it becomes a chord? A minor point considering it’s the same note. I can’t say I’ve noticed how Adam plays it live.

[@MaxNiessl]

Adam plays it on the fifth fret, but it's entirely up to you how you want to play it :)

[@radiolocke]

Fair enough.

[@GuyFawkes187]

The thing is the open D String sounds way brighter than if you play it on the 5th fret of the A string

[@savagewakolee2116]

I didn't wanna be "THAT GUY" and point that out, but I guess really either way works I play it a tiny bit different though but sounds the same-ish 😆 good job bro!

[@royals1833]

Dude, just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work. I'm new to playing and I literally use your videos to learn the songs. It's extrremely helpful so again, thanks for what you do man... Can't wait til I can play them like this.

[@MaxNiessl]

That’s awesome bud, thank you! Have fun learning 🙌🏼

[@Nekedladies]

You've had this video up for 4 years at this point. Had KZbin playing in the background while working and this happened to play. Sounded like every other time I've heard Stinkfist, but I had to take immediate pause to see what I was hearing, because the opening pick scrape sounded just a little bit off, but cool as hell! I never heard that rise in pitch and it sounded way too clean. But I love what you did with that scrape! Great cover, my man!

[@latinlover00011]

LOVE this part 3:30 - 4:06

[@iateuranium-235forbreakfas7]

My favourite, it’s so simple but emotional

[@MrBadimon]

Omg nice! Liebe den track 😍 und mit deinen amps noch n geiler bissl alternativer Sound

[@MaxNiessl]

Meeeercn 😘

[@T-Bore]

Ist mal wieder spitze geworden, Max!

[@MaxNiessl]

Danke dir, Tibor! :)

[@mateuszzz7256]

MR MAX IS ABSOLUTE GENIUS! I love you man.... and I beg you for Lateralus cover as a track, profounding!!!!

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you! I'd love to do that. The holy trinity is definitely a must for me to cover sometime, but I'd almost count Lateralus into that :D

[@mateuszzz7256]

Max Niessl if i only could ask Adam Jones what he feels during playing Lateralus... he doesnt look impressed or overacted and I’m curious what would you say about it after cover in the future..

[@Dillamusic90]

You are helping me so much to learn this tool songs!! Thanks so much!!

[@rhr7588]

Until today on youtube I never saw a perfect guitar cover like yours, you played in a extraordinary way! You impressed me a lot my friend! My most sincere congratulations for your work!

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you so much, Kasei! Glad you enjoyed :)

[@flowerqirl_]

Man, how do you only have 7k subscribers? This is insane! Never would've thought to use a coin for those parts. Thank you so much for your play along tabs for Descending and 7empest, too. I wouldn't have figured those out without them

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you so much! I'm very grateful for everyone of you, it's truly fascinating that almost seven thousand people enjoy what I do. So glad my videos are helping you, bud :)

Klassiker! Schön gespielt 🤘

Danke, Simon! 🤘

[@englishiowa]

Finally nice to see how those squeals are done! Only critique is I’ve seen in live videos a bit more going on in the verses. But good stuff all around!

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you! I used the current live performances as a reference. Maybe he played it a bit different back then :)

[@englishiowa]

Max Niessl Did you just call me old?!?!? 😂

[@MaxNiessl]

@@englishiowa 😂

[@marki7661]

Nope, he’s one of the only people out there playing the verses right, or pretty damn close. I think what you are seeing on other videos is that most people play more than is really going on, they don’t realize some of the audible notes are a delay repeat thats driving the verses, and they try and play those notes.

[@lorenzocapomaccio6535]

Again... Really great job man!

[@MaxNiessl]

Thanks! :)

Another great one Max. I play that almost the exact same way. I do the solo part a little different. Learned from tabs Guitar world put out back when this album was released. I'm sure yours is prob more better :)

Haha thank you :)

[@joshadams8761]

Thanks for the solo! Other coverers don’t even attempt it.

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you! Will definitely do sometime :)

[@nipulkradmsinatagras8293]

*Solid 10/10!!!!*

[@NobodyNewsNetwork]

The opening is a volume swell into feedback with a flanger and delay not a pick scrape.

[@thejohngates2012]

Noob here, what's a flanger?

[@NobodyNewsNetwork]

@John Gates It's the sound of the Aenima album. That quivering and oscillating you hear from the guitar is a Boss BF2 flanger. It's a modulation pedal.

yes!
