I think it actually IS the definition of 'impressive as fuck'. I mean, I watched my 1SG quick draw his 9mm and shoot an Iraqi guy right through the hand at 25+ yards because he was holding what looked like a pistol (was a flashlight)...and I thought that was impressive as fuck!
Glad to hear it. I put a lot of effort into staying as faithful to the melody as possible, so when people get the urge to sing along that means I'm doing something right :)
Ernesto, man, there's truth in your work. Your cover's fantastic, but what I enjoy most is watching you play. It's easy to see how the song moves through you.
Even if you’re not a Tool fan... how the hell does this not have atleast 10mil views??? This is incredible. As is everything I’ve seen of Ernesto’s, but this... my God... this is a masterpiece. And “masterpiece” is a sub-par description. Cheers Sir, you’re awesome.
I'm not a tool fan and I mean that with no disrespect, I'm not especially familiar with their work or the genre. This is the first time I've heard Lateralus played, and I can say in my humble opinion Ernesto is a musical genius.
Still one of my favourites this version of the song DOESN'T MiSS A BEAT.......absolute perfection.......which is NOT an easy thing to acquire when playing a tool song.....as I'm sure many ppl including myself know..... I've been a tool fan for many many years.......since I was 16years old. I'm now 42. still my favourite band of all time. To me, this is just as good as the actual song. Love your work brother. Well earnt title of the BEST TOOL song & player I've ever seen/heard. " (Just my opinion ppls)" Ppls-Please don't hate on me- send your hate to where it's needed.....your local gym....or police station
Okay, wow. You know that feeling when you find something you didn't know you were searching for but always kind of hoped existed? I feel like the universe just gave me a great gift. All of these covers are amazing. Thank you so much for this!
Been watching this several times over the past years and, somehow, I still can't hold back a tear or two, I don't know why. I can't imagine how much hard work is behind Ernesto's covers, but what amazes me the most is the passion he transmits. Much respect, Ernesto. Thanks for your work.
I don't get it. How you can play all 4 parts, with an accuracy that lets me sing along and allows my head to hit the changes right when I expect them. One guy, one guitar, one shot. You are phenomenal.
His strap blends in so well with his shirt it looks like the guitar is just floating in front of him. And if it was, that is the only thing that could make this more amazing.
Parabola I gave u a thumbs up just for your name!!! And yaaaaasss to the new album!! But this guy here is amazing! I’m a true TOOL fan, so it takes a lot to impress me as far as covers go. This is phenomenal ....
I like how in between the parts where you transition from both hands on the neck to strumming you simply play a single tap on the body of the guitar. Simple yet effective.
That is one of the most amazing things I've ever heard. I can't tell you how impressed I am. I never listen to Tool covers because in the past I've felt they just shouldn't be touched. But you. Wow! You are awesome! Keep it up.
Just my own biased category. When a band has such an incredibly unique sound, typically people just butcher them. Making a song sound worse and not enhance it. Pink Floyd and Tool are in that category for me. To me some select bands ARE different from other bands because they are not generic. What? I'm passionate! Let me have my biases... :-P
Your can see just how intensely the music comes from some special place deep inside you, and translates itself through your whole body and out your finger tips. There is NOTHING more powerful to me than music, except for love, and it's clear you love the music. Absolutely awesome.
After at least 52 times hearing your version of this ( A masterpiece in it's own right. ) at about the 7 minute mark I always find myself saying " With my feet upon the ground I lose myself between the sounds, and open wide to suck it in and feel it move across my skin. I'm reaching up and reaching out I'm reaching for the random or whatever will bewilder me whatever will bewilder me. And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been, we'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been. Spiral out! Keep going. "
Well uhhh... goddamn. It’s even better when you’re a fan and know what he is doing and why, and how he is matching parts of the song so well.. with one fucking instrument. Awesome man.
Oh my god. How am I just now finding this?! All I can say is wow. I'm speechless. You're really inspiring, man. I've never seen anything like this. You have complete mastery of your instrument. I'm gonna shut up now. Subbed.
I randomly clicked on the 46&2 (wtf) cover, then saw Right in Two (jesus christ), and now Lateralus (holy fuck). game over for me. I'll be in the corner over there, for 5-7 days, with weed, headphones and a repeat button, spiralling out. see y'all next week
This man is someone to pay attention to. I have played the guitar and most stringed instruments since I was five years old. including the piano, bass, viola, stand up bass, and chello. I am now 37. he has accomplished what ive been searching for for quite some time. he can use the guitar as a second language. I will learn his style and use it to influence my own technique as should all musicians
You have just rekindled my love of music and playing guitar after a very long time away. For that I will forever be grateful. You Sir are amazing. You make me want to be better, thankyou.
How the fk is it that there so many no talent fake famous people in the world, and yet genius like this goes largely unrecognized. Fkin' brilliant! You gained a fan here my friend!
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been. We'll ride the spiral to the end. We may just go where no one's been. Thank you Ernesto, sir.
When Jimi sang: I am standing next to a mountain....he was talking about Ernesto's soul....But even Jimi could not cut it down with the edge of his hand. Nothing could contain the soul of Ernesto - ....whoa.
Looking through your other posts Jebus, one has to say that you appear to be typically American, racist and above all stupid. May I be so bold as to enquire whether or not I am correct in that assumption ? There is no offence intended in your direction by the way Jebus, I only ask out of pure interest. If I am correct, apologies for being cheeky, if I am incorrect, apologies for jumping to conclusions. I look forward to your reply.
Steven Stinson I wouldn't call "Lateralus" hard rock. It's definitely less shreddy than typical metal and lacks the usually-defining fast tempos (depending on the subgenre of metal in question), but its funky time signatures and overall more classical-music-like nontraditional structure put it pretty squarely in the realm of metal rather than rock. There's quite a lot of more contemplative metal out there with these prog flavors rather than heavier ones (although Tool and Porcupine Tree definitely make most of the best of it.)
Emerald Bixby Why care about genre? You're wasting time that you could be listening to music on trying to pin a label. Labels ruin things, music included.
I can't even figure out how to play 'Wayfaring Stranger' in DADGAD tuning, and then I see this and realize that all hope is lost for me. Thank god I can at least watch this and enjoy it. Thanks and keep up the awesome work! Hope you and yours are safe and healthy.
My wife doesn’t like Tool. But she absolutely loves these versions of their songs. She’s an idiot on the first point. Definitely not the second. Great stuff sir.
Its rumored that this man is a jester who crossed a time portal created by Tool in order to learn this song for his king. The king had asked him to play him the best song ever created, else his life would be taken. The mans life, rather being saved, was granted immortality under the condition that he must play Lateralus continuously until he reaches the end of the spiral. To this day, he has been riding the spiral, and he has indeed gone where no one's been. Keep going, guy. Keep going.

It usually takes me two or three takes. But that's after practicing enough that I feel ready to play it live.
You're amazing buddy been 👀 you for years. Do pneuma
U are a god among insects
You're an amazing musician, as I'm sure you know!
You're an absolutely amazing musician. I have a feeling you can also shred some killer flemenco and Spanish type guitar runs and licks.
Incredible arrangement
That is actually legitimately impressive as fuck
I think it actually IS the definition of 'impressive as fuck'. I mean, I watched my 1SG quick draw his 9mm and shoot an Iraqi guy right through the hand at 25+ yards because he was holding what looked like a pistol (was a flashlight)...and I thought that was impressive as fuck!

Yes just yes
Didn’t know you were a tool fan Owen. Awesome
I always find the best videos 30 minutes after I should have gone to bed

+bbvibrabb brilliant comment, its 215am, ive drank a pint and a half of vodka, i need to be asleep, but no....
+bbvibrabb should been in bed hours ago but i decided to listen to a tool song..
Olivier more like e hours
Dude! You played 2 guitars lyrics and drums all while your guitar just floated in mid air by itself lol
rudeboymon lol magic
@Mor Hilai lol you can see it better near the end when he's really into it
This guy is mad good. but if you thought this was impressive, watch this. ruclips.net/video/rpgdHpbQuDE/видео.html
not to mention at some parts he was strumming the vocal notes as well, dude is crazy good
EvakCorleone I’m telling, you have to watch the video I posted
Glad to hear it. I put a lot of effort into staying as faithful to the melody as possible, so when people get the urge to sing along that means I'm doing something right :)
It’s like this dude was stranded on an island for 10 years with the complete TOOL catalog and his guitar. Amazing work my friend✌🏼
Would suck to break a string though...
@@olebehnam-esmailian5765 God himself would've sent the spare strings
hahahahha totally!!!
Honestly, I really couldn't think of a better way to be stranded on an island.
That would be bliss!!!!
When Jesus plays Lateralus, we listen. Speechless. That is all.
ahahhahahah
When Jesus listens to Lateralus, this is the version he likes to here.
He died for those riffs lol
Amen
Bendito sea.
Literally the cover of all covers.
I would pay money to watch you do an entire concerts worth of Tool covers. You are Tool Jesus. Officially.
he does on his livestreams on certain Sundays! And its free!
@@texasaquatics1771wow! does this still happen?!
Coming across this video 7 years late, but: beautiful.
Thank you.
9 years here and not a moment too soon, wondrous!
11 years for me. no more lost time from here on out!
Ernesto, man, there's truth in your work. Your cover's fantastic, but what I enjoy most is watching you play. It's easy to see how the song moves through you.
Thanks man, that really means a lot.
Drums+Bass+Vocal(notes)+Guitar at the same time? Dude, you're a god to me.
After Tool members of course. You're the fifth god to me, lol
+Ali Engin Haha, thanks!
Should be the only God In existence

It's probably too technical for the average pop fan that gives likes to Katy Perry Roar
The algorithm on RUclips must be all fk up.💯
Me: what guitar level are you?
Ernesto: completed it mate.

New Tool cover: Lateralus.
Perfect version man!! Amazing! Really!
Thanks!
***** Thanks, I'm tapping the back of the neck with my left hand thumb.
Miister Josh Exactly. It is a metal thumb pick (more like a pick holder) but it doen't touch the neck when I tap it.
Miister Josh haha, ok I'll think about it...
Okay, wow.
You know that feeling when you find something you didn't know you were searching for but always kind of hoped existed? I feel like the universe just gave me a great gift.
All of these covers are amazing. Thank you so much for this!
Been watching this several times over the past years and, somehow, I still can't hold back a tear or two, I don't know why.
I can't imagine how much hard work is behind Ernesto's covers, but what amazes me the most is the passion he transmits.
Much respect, Ernesto. Thanks for your work.
I feel the same way. Wiping the tears away. Absolutely amazing.
Im in awe. The sheer amount of talent and multitasking... I didnt think it was possible
Incredible, you’re playing the notes that Maynard sings along with the regular guitar notes. Very impressive!
And the bass notes, and he's tapping the drum beat
I’m speechless. , Maynard needs to pick him up for his unplugged tour
The people that feel their music as they play it, play it most sincerely. You, my friend, feel it through you and it came out amazingly. Well done!
WOW! I play this the normal Adam Jones way, but this is amazing Ernesto! TOOL is proud of you. The thumbs down people are lost.
Straight talent, vocals drums and guitar , incredible sht
The best Lateralus cover I've had the pleasure to hear so far...
Um, how can anyone dislike this? Thanks to this cover I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected, once again.
Man talk about feeling the music! He didn't play that song, he channeled it.
I don't get it. How you can play all 4 parts, with an accuracy that lets me sing along and allows my head to hit the changes right when I expect them. One guy, one guitar, one shot. You are phenomenal.
That is awesome, the longer I play the more I realize there is no end to the guitar.
Ernesto Schnack, the eighth wonder of the world. Beautiful work.
His strap blends in so well with his shirt it looks like the guitar is just floating in front of him. And if it was, that is the only thing that could make this more amazing.
What gituar strap
It is levitating
NO WAY!
those chords and melody at the same time blew my mind!
Love the tapping part in the verse when u do the drums, bass and voice at the same time. Amazing!
Man this was SOOOO good I can’t believe I just discovered this 10 years later. Was legit feeling like I was listening to the original song at times.
Lateralus. Reaching out to embrace the random. Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.
All I can say is,.,. August 30 2019 new tool album!!!!!
Parabola I gave u a thumbs up just for your name!!! And yaaaaasss to the new album!! But this guy here is amazing! I’m a true TOOL fan, so it takes a lot to impress me as far as covers go. This is phenomenal ....
It can be heard now...ps: my name is from 46 and 2
2 Days away!!!
Prepare to be whelmed
So hyped rn
Whenever I feel depressed and hopeless your covers lift my spirits. Thank you.
Where im at now lol
Without a doubt one of the greatest guitarists to ever live.
I like how in between the parts where you transition from both hands on the neck to strumming you simply play a single tap on the body of the guitar. Simple yet effective.
guitar, bass, vocal leads, drums.. this isn't just a guitar cover, it's an entire band/song cover.. jedi master for sure!!
That is one of the most amazing things I've ever heard. I can't tell you how impressed I am. I never listen to Tool covers because in the past I've felt they just shouldn't be touched. But you. Wow! You are awesome! Keep it up.
Look for the cover of Sober by Jon McConnell. Blew me off my chair.
Thanks!
Just my own biased category. When a band has such an incredibly unique sound, typically people just butcher them. Making a song sound worse and not enhance it. Pink Floyd and Tool are in that category for me. To me some select bands ARE different from other bands because they are not generic.
What? I'm passionate! Let me have my biases... :-P
MeLisa Francis I feel the same about TOOL!! There are other bands that fit this "untouchable" category too, but he happens to be playing a TOOL cover.
Zachary Manning Pink Floyd is also an untouchable for me.... just don't do it! Haha ;-)
Not even a million views on the best cover of all time, this dude is absolutely amazing.
From 6:12-the end, I get goosebumps EVERY time I listen to this. Thanks again Ernesto!

Well uhhh... goddamn. It’s even better when you’re a fan and know what he is doing and why, and how he is matching parts of the song so well.. with one fucking instrument. Awesome man.
I clicked on this fully expecting to hate it. But it is F****ing awesome!
The only man who plays more notes than the whole band together and still nail it!
Absolute monster
We need a CD album of your Tool covers now.
This was undeniably the best tool cover on this whole website.
I hope MJK sees this.
This was posted 6 years ago, but I was not expecting a cover like this. Color me impressed. DAMN, SON, IMPRESSIVE!
I have no idea how 1 man makes the sounds of 4 band members collectively at the same time. 🤯
No matter what arrangement I listen of this song, I always feel empowered as hell. Great work!
I was already blown away before the first verse.... holy hell that verse!!

this song is an odyssey, and you've reminded us all of that- thank you!
I enjoy watching the song flow thru you. We can actually see it...... amazing
Your interpretations of tool's music are so moving they make me cry
Even an acoustic guitar can be used for metal. And this cover proves it. You have my respect. 😊
Man, tool has some metalish songs, but this one's definitely just hard rock. Even their guitarist doesn't like them being labelled as metal.
If you think this is cool, check out tool vicarious acoustic guitar covers.
Steven Stinson I wouldn't call "Lateralus" hard rock. It's definitely less shreddy than typical metal and lacks the usually-defining fast tempos (depending on the subgenre of metal in question), but its funky time signatures and overall more classical-music-like nontraditional structure put it pretty squarely in the realm of metal rather than rock. There's quite a lot of more contemplative metal out there with these prog flavors rather than heavier ones (although Tool and Porcupine Tree definitely make most of the best of it.)
