Undertow, Sober, and 46&2 are top contenders for me.. please include bass for any Tool lesson!

Luke

Invincible!!! Great dynamics in the beginning and like all Tool songs the distorted riffs are heavy AF.

James Contos

I think either Lateralus because of the crazy times and dynamics of that song, or (probably an unpopular opinion) Descending from their newest album. That song has a little of everything. Some weird and stretchy 2 note chords, clean and heavy riffs, strange cyclical soloing techniques, slide guitar, and major use of effects and wah to create walls of sonic deliciousness. There's a lot happening on that track that I think a lot of guitar players could learn a thing or two from it.

Omar Sierralta

The Patient is an amazing choice not that difficult with some sweet timings, riffs and solo. But also anything from the latest album is worth the shoot.

Jason Perry

With enough time, every single Tool song is going to be mentioned. Nice one Ben!

Lateralus. I learned it mostly by ear and with what little tab scraps were available at the time (back in the day) and still play it that way. I've seen Adam perform it live and I think I'm pretty darn close, would love to see your take on it!
