Descending - TOOL | Solo Acoustic Guitar Cover 

Tabs now available! ernestoschnack.com/tabs/

First he died for our sins, now he's killing us with his guitar.

the boss: "are you watching youTube at work?!" me: "i'm on a Schnack break!"

I need an Adam Jones reaction video to this

My guitar is watching this when I'm not at home

Descending, like my self-esteem as a guitarist Edit: Jeez guyz, it's a joke not a dick, don't take it so hard :p

Oh we're about to travel to a whole other plane of existence listening to this rendition. HERE GOES NOTHING.

The only 10+ minute tracks that fly by faster than Tool songs are your renditions of Tool songs. By the way, good choice using the looper this time, even though it breaks from your trademark "playing every instrument at once" style. Another outstanding Fear Inoculum arrangement!

Some people come into existence and make the universe a more beautiful place. And then Ernesto comes along and plays into existence a whole new universe.

This isn't just a tool cover this is one of the most amazing things a human being has ever done

I dont understand what I've just witnessed. Human with 3 brains! Genius!

Ernesto looks like how I feel when I listen to epic music

How is this even possible? I can't even wrap my brain around this. This dude is on another level.

I used to dream of an acoustic Tool concert -> dream realized.

5:05 The fact that the raw emotion behind "STAY. ALIVE." comes through almost harder than in the original track absolutely blows my mind.

This is an instant share. I suggest it to the others so Ernesto gets his well-deserved check mark and a plaque for 100 000 subs.

I've been looking for this guy ever since I randomly found him doing a tool song. he is the most gifted musician I have seen in a long time

Incredible. You do not get enough recognition for your talent

Man, you did such a good job here. I could hear Maynard singing while you played. Thank you for this. Your talent is exceptional.

WTF!! I just had an "Eargasm!" Who is this guy & why aren't they erecting him a statue or something?? This dude is so talented!! I'm totally blown away!! Ernesto,you my friend have a new fan!! Unbelievable?? Mas,por favor??

Ok, no more work today, i have to listen this for the next 5 hours at least. Thank you so much.

I don’t usually comment, but the fact that you perfectly executed the slide solo without a slide absolutely blew my mind. Just Wow too your skills sir.

That may be the most badass thing I've ever witnessed.

I lost my mom at the end of 2019. Are last talk was a bad argument. I found her dead the next day. This album did its best to heal me through those months that bled into Covid. I was only sober a year and half. Hell it almost broke me. I started smoking pot again lol but no no more heroin or cocaine. This is amazing Much love and respect from Cleveland

This is one of my favorite songs ever, and you've managed to elevate it to a whole other level. I wish I could be as good a guitarist as you. Hats off to you, sir.

Wow! Just wow! I never thought of Tool as being an unplugged band, but this proves I was wrong. This is probably as close as we'll get to an MTV Unplugged performance. Bravo!

This man really feels the music.

Now it's 7empest or nothing! The final boss of TOOL

I don’t make a lot of comments on videos but this one required one. This is such a fantastic rendition of this song great great job.

Discovering all these acoustic Tool & A Perfect Circle covers has made my day! These are awesome!

To play it flawlessly is next level to say the least, but to have arranged it yourself, literally sets you apart from all other human guitarists. Well done, sir. You are a master. But are you human?

Sounded good on my phone... but then i put on my headphones.. HOLY.... whole different experience. 10/10 would recommend. I will have to go back and watch/listen to your other vids this way.

Nearly 20 year Tool fan here, and I have to say, I am absolutely hooked and bewildered by your covers. Truly impressive, and I wanted to thank you for the time, thoughtfulness, and commitment you put into your craft. I'll subscribe, excited to see what you do next.

Good Lord! I'm still trying to fathom the hand to mind coordination for the polyrhythmic patterns in this song. Also the rotary tape delay effect in the beginning was so surreal. Unbelievable performance overall. 🤘🏼

Gotta come clean - I honestly enjoy your Fear Inoculum covers more than I enjoy Fear Inoculum. You knock these out of the park.

Goooosebumps. This man really knows how to work an acoustic like I've never seen done before

My god, I almost cried during the last two and a half minutes... Thank you so much.

You realize the impossible, this is very faithful to the original with a lot of emotions. Thanks Ernesto.

So tastefully done .it does justice to tool.

This is transcendental. My god Ernesto, you have left me completely awestruck.

So much emotion from one instrument

So many voices out of one instrument, amazing!

Anyone who stops by Ernesto and walks away without subscribing, will never be able to appreciate good music.

This is what true mastery of guitar looks like, so much improvisation and not just a pure replication of the accepted tabs and most importantly it all flows perfectly, exceptional timings.

That panned tremolo is nuts

This made my morning which made my day which makes the beginning of the coming weekend

MAN. who the helll disliked this?! This is incredible man, thank you so much for this!

DQMN MAN!!! We could have another Tool banda simultaneously!! Just fucking imagine a 2 stages...hours of Tool un our heads. FUCK!!! Thanx Ernesto!! Long Live for You & Tool banda!!!

Боже, как же это хорошо... не передать словами. Эрнесто, вы, безусловно, король гитарных каверов. Ну а Tool в вашем исполнении - слушать особенно приятно. Hello from Russia! That was amazing!!!

my favorite TOOL song. you crushed it. thanks for being awesome.

did not knew this beauty existed. man i love it.

Wow, just wow. Seven minutes an onwards was pure fucking magic. You continue to amaze use with your talents Ernesto!

Absolutely speechless. So beautiful. I don’t know how you do it but I hear Maynard’s voice, Justin’s bass, Danny’s drums and Adams rifts while I listen to this. You’re a magician sir.

Chills, goosebumps, tears. Just awesome sir thank you.

This man is a legend

Wow. You are amazing. The passion. The power. the precise precision, the mastery, I am in awe. Thank you for that :)

Absolutely love this song and love you rendition of it. Glad to be a patron!

I just purchased your tablature for Descending. I really enjoyed your choice of several unique overlays of different voices from Tool's ensemble, and how you implemented them on guitar. I will lean a lot from studying this music, so I thank you for your hard work, and deciding to make this publicly available.

This is unbelievably good. I'll need to listen a few hundred more times just to be sure.

Watching this makes me want to step up my skills man. Them spidy fingers are impressive .

It's been awhile since a video left me in awe.

No other greater reason to subscribe! Amazing!

Is watching this 28 times in one day too many? No. Not enough I'd say. 🤣 @ernestoschnack - you sir, have the best channel on this site. Just, thank you for sharing your talent and passion with us. Thank you.

Never clicked on anything so quick!

My dude Ernesto, fucking brilliant as ever. Brought tears to my eyes listening to your rendition.

You are a magician, my good sir. 🤘

Tool wrote this beautiful song, Ernesto paid beautiful homage. I love this music.

Thanks man awesome ,you are one of my favorite accoustic gutar players on the planet , always dig hearing your sounds ,over and over all day in the work shop your tunes are going down.

Best cover I've seen, Adam Jones and Maynard needs to see this!

I swear each of your recreations are just as good as hearing the original songs for the first time. Unbelievable!

You make listening to music such a spiritual experience.

Ernesto, I've been playing guitar for almost 35 years and I have to say. You are truly an amazing guitarist brother!

I hope Adam sees this. In any case, nothing but a tip of the hat to you kind sir 🎩

He did it again!.. So satisfying, Omg. Ernesto is a such a bliss..

My all time favorite Tool song. Thank you!

I WISH I COULD LIKE THIS MORE THAN ONCE

Just purely impressed. This is some of the craziest stuff yet man, really well done

All these Tool songs have a special place in my heart and you somehow make them sound even heavier and more pure. Less is more.

FINALLY!! Well worth the wait! A true masterpiece. Sincerely, thank you for sharing your talents with us.

It gives a tool concert video experience

I love how he plays all of the vocal harmonies too!!! Such an amazing human!!!!

Chills Spine Deep breath that moves through the center of my body

Gotta say 3.5k likes and 4 dislikes is the most insane ratio I've ever seen on a RU-vid video Amazing as always!

I'm loving the two guitars in this

No one comes close man. Thy No. 1.

Multiple layers of goose bumps… thank you.

Absolutely incredible

Push the replay button over and over again ❤️🎵🎶

This song is so underrated.. and its probably my favorite tool song. Great cover!

It is hard to describe how good this is. Brilliant performance!

I wish I’d have someone to share this to. You’re great, good sir

This is just so good. I was like "I'll listen to that again while I do some chores" and here I am completely absorbed in the experience.

so amazing to hear acoustic warmth with magnetic steel. wonderful cover thanks :)

Your timing, feel, different rhythms between thumb and fingers, post-editing FX - it's all brilliant man! Good blimmin work, dude!

The passion. As if playing to us all in a big concert hall. To get that live body shivering vibe from your playing demonstrates your total love for the instrument, the source song, yourself and us. What a spectacular joy.

9:28 goosebumps!

Two people’s souls have descended

This is my favorite song of all time 😌 this is just incredible!

In this mans soul is the reason we started playing music. Thank you for another sir.

Ernesto : "Twelve MInutes. TWELVE MINUTES!" Us: "Not nearly enough."
