Schism (Tool Cover) - Ernesto Schnack 

I can hear the words clearly that guitar is a great singer .

He really does capture every voice and every layer in a single instrument. It’s hard for people to understand what all he’s actually doing here to appreciate it as much as they should.

Hello RU-vid algorithm my old friend You’ve brought me rare gems once again

His clarity, texture and attention to detail is out of the world.

2:05 slapped it like it owes him money dayum

Maynard: Justin and Adam, you’re fired. Ernesto, you’re hired.

Many play religious music for Jesus. I always knew that Jesus plays music by Tool.

If I was walking down the street and saw you playing this I would applaud you and throw $100 in your guitar case for this, 11/10 absolute masterpiece.

im a simple man, i see ernesto schnack covering tool, i click it.

Him: plays bass line on guitar Everyone else: *wait that's illegal*

Every time I see a new Ernesto video in my subscription feed, it feels like Christmas.

This is amazing. He's playing guitar, percussion, and base at the same time... on a 6 string acoustic.

I hope that tool has heard your covers. they are the most interesting and beautiful covers I've ever heard.

And on the 7th day Jesus played schism.

As a guitar play and long time Tool fan...... wow!🤯

The way you're able to capture multiple voices of the song WITH the dynamic elements is pretty insane, nice job man.

Wow... Just discovered you, Ernesto. I can't even dream playing a single full Tool song on my guitar, and here you are, playing all my favourites, drum, bass, guitar and melody at the same time... Incredible talent!!!! Are you sure you're human?

Schism" I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them fall away. Mildewed and smoldering. Fundamental differing. Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so We cannot seem to reach an end crippling our communication. I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them tumble down No fault, none to blame, it doesn't mean I don't desire to Point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over. To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication The poetry that comes from the squaring off between, And the circling is worth it. Finding beauty in the dissonance. There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away. Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing. Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication. Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion between supposed lovers, between supposed brothers, I know the pieces fit [8x]

when I googled Schism on acoustic I didn't expect anything so right on. Well done!! Set that D18 on fire!!!!

"how can i learn to play just like you man?" this question always comes to my mind every time i watch any of his videos.

One of my all time favorite Tool songs, brilliantly done by this master.

The best Tool covers I've seen so far

Your amazing! My new favorite channel on RU-vid

Just amazing, I've been playing guitar for more than two decades. I find all tool songs to be a very difficult guitar piece to play all the way through. Here this guy comes along and plays it flawlessly but also throws in the bass line drums and vocal sounds. Just outstanding🙏

You, my good sir, are a major distraction. I can't just listen to your epic guitar playing, watching you shred is equally mesmerising! Keep up the awesome work!

Can you do ‘Wings For Marie?’ You’re so talented

I can't stop being amazed a your skills. Ever since I started playing guitar a few years ago I've learned to appreciate guitarists so much more. Thank you for all the Tool and A Perfect Circle covers!

This is AMAZING 😍 I heard the lyrics in my mind✌️

Im so speechless..just dont know what to say..omg..ur the best among of the best 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏..standing ovation for u sir...love Tool

Glad to see/hear more tool from you, this is amazing

I LOVE this!!! I would totally buy his album of tool covers if he released it...

It's always a treat to listen to these covers. I appreciate the detail and effort in combining the different elements of each song, and then portraying them all with just one guitar. Very special and very relaxing... I love your work!

I feel compelled to clap at the end of every one of his performances, anyone else?

OMG! Fantastic work mate! And 2nd part give me chills!

It gives me goosebumps and a total music trip. Thanks for the months that you had spent on bringing this beautiful piece of music to all of us.

Dude this is one of those covers that was well organized with so much flow. The guitar speaks. Truly amazing sir

Great work! You deserve a standing ovation! This song is already difficult to understand while listening its riffs are hypnotizing but you never hesitated! great adaptation for 1 guitar!

I still can't comprehend how you can finger pick and tap and so smoothly

Ernesto and his guitar speak from themselves... Hands down my friend!

Without a doubt, the best acoustic cover that exists. Absolutely fantastic job.

He’s got good tone taste bro. He loves his Martin you can tell.

This is truly amazing as always man. Tool is my fav band of all time and your videos are just ridiculously great man lol. Can't wait to see what's next!!

This is truly remarkable. Words cannot do justice in explaining how amazing this was. Great job

Thanks for sharing! Your Tool covers give me chills.

Ernesto!!! You make the guitar sing!!! Beautiful, and brutal. Thank you.

I definitely shit my pants when I saw this in my sub box.

Nailed the ending Ernesto! Teaching myself the right in two cover you did. A long road ahead!

One of the greatest piece of playing I have seen. Really makes you appreciate the song alot more. Tool has a very unique atmosphere to it, alien like and I have the lyrics I know all there. So cool

This is beautiful

Fuck yess a new Tool cover! Sounds awesome dude :D

This is soo narly, I literally cried. Absolutely beautiful!!!

I heard every vocal note in my head while he played this. Bravo.. take my subscription.

Who the hell can possibly “thumb down” this??! Awesome job brother!

I can feel like his guitar is singing and living on its own.

Ernesto makes it all look so easy. I guess that shows he practices a lot. 👌🏻🤘🏻

this is beyond excellent. freaking incredible. the level of mastery here cannot be overstated.

this just gave me a friggin eargasm...

Fucking nice, great job Ernesto!

Absolutely beautiful

Wow, beautiful! Your playing had me captivated. Loved your cover of this Tool song.

Nice crispy Martin.i know the pieces fit.killa bro😎

Awesome. Just curious, have you ever listened to any Animals as Leaders?

absolutely insane, it gives you the same feels of the original. that voice line is on spot. great job!

Thank you for doing the work you're doing. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us

Please tell me there will be a tab coming out for this. Great job, you nailed it.

This guy must have 58 ex-girlfriends.

I'm in pure amazement... this is guitar playing goals to the max!!!

masterpiece, wow thats amazing

I'm just here to see if all the pieces fit... Lol had to.

I'm not a big fan of Tool, but this video alone made me subscribe. Awesome work! 🔥🤟🏼🔥

Goosebumps dude!!! Every single one, a memory!

So sick. Keep em coming!

CAN YOU PLEASE RELEASE THE TABS

So many ppl here because the algorithm & the new album. I'm just here because Maynard and this man are my sanity! 🤘🖤

Seriously, this was by far the most awesome acoustic cover of a song of all time!

Wow! Just wow!

i wish i could give this more than 1 thumb up

Great cover ! Is it a Tool artwork on your T-shirt ? I don't recognize it.

Just pure awesomeness!

Bro seriously this blows my mind you are incredible

Just wondering whether someone of Tool actually contacted you to compliment your amazing covers ? What you are doing with one acoustic guitar is phenomenal.

let me get them tabs! lol

Cant wait for these tabs!

Brilliantly executed, wasn't expecting this song to sound so good on an acoustic guitar!

Most importantly, Is that a MESHUGGAH T-Shirt?

better than adam sandler guy

Absolutely amazing job bro. You captured the genius of Adam's playing and did it with style and talent. Thanks for your hard work.

Constantly amazing!

Can someone be kind enough to explain why his guitar always sounds out of tune? Is that the sound he's going for? Am I missing something here?

I use to play like that , but i injured my knee 😂👍

this song made me a Tool fan and this is the best cover I've heard... amazing job!

Ernesto you never cease to amaze

I would pay 2500 in rent every month just to be your neighbor

Some level of autism must be needed to play tool in acoustic so masterfully... New subscriber... You're a Beast!

so good! a real artist. The amount of effort that must have been put into this, I can't even comprehend.

Kmac's acoustic cover is better.

apparently one Justin Beiber fan was here , who couldn't understand anything gave a thumb down and left

RU-vid decided I needed to hear this, and I'm not disappointed! I don't think I've heard a better translation of an entire song played on a single instrument before. You managed to capture everything from the vocals to the drums, and you did it all on an acoustic guitar! You have some incredible talent!

You absolutely smashed it out the park!! Awesome job

You really captured the echos and effects of all the instruments in this song remarkably!!!! Impressive!!!
