Matt Cam dont forget triplets and polyrythims
slayerBO2EPC And dead notes
Pull off technique too
You are the savior for all of us hopeless, Tool obsessed guitar players looking to take a step up in our playing. Just by watching and learning from your videos and studying Adam Jones' playing, I've finally made it past that hump of being considered an "almost intermediate player"
My playing has gotten MUCH better in the past few months since I've gotten deep into the world of Tool's music. Thank you for being the stepping stone that got me over that annoying hump in my playing career
That's awesome, thank you for sharing!
@@allboutthemojo Same situation here been working on the intro to Vicarious for a while now. How's your progress going?
@@allboutthemojo I made sure to really crack down on thre triplets and can do them almost decently lol. Same here except no one cna agree on the tabs so i just went for the easier ome.
@@allboutthemojo Look at the part where Adam does he breakdown and the 2x3. www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/tool-vicarious-tab-s56870t0 there are versions where people think it was an extended powerchord or only one 3 and 5. I that makes sense.
@@travisbennett3332 thanks for songster. Didn't know about that.
According to me the first chorus line 54 is not 100 percent accurate. It's a power chord shape like Greg shows in the lesson. Sounds better that way.
And the first set of triplets is not how I play it. I play 0 3 5. 0 3 5. 0 3 5. Not 0 3 5 , 3 5 like the tab shows
Netflix: "Are you still watching?"
Me: 9:41
ok
"I'll put a dollar bet there would be one of those riffs on the next album" - HAHA. You called it since they're everywhere on FI. Thank you for the lesson. You're awesome.
These videos are relaxing to watch and learn! Keep up the TOOL/Adam Jones!!
Triad full lesson coming up!! Can't wait!
I like the call the pull of thing he does "Jambi triplets". I find myself using it a lot in my own playing lmao, it just sounds so good.
Jambi riff on invincible. You called it! Cool vid bud 🤘🏼
With respect to that totally awesome riff that Adam does for about 10 seconds or so in Schism, Adam (to me) seems to never overplay his guitar. Rather, Jones choses to exercise some rather extreme discretion so that we will appreciate the fact that that riff is in there however, we can never get sick of it because he just allows us to get a small taste of it. It's *not* like his other riffs suck in the rest of the song so I feel perfectly content waiting for it to come near the end of the song. Adam is such a phenomenally tasteful musician, guitarist, & artist.
Great video.....Jones really does art with his simple yet complex playing....
"The odd times are just a part of tool and you can't get away from it." But why would you want to? Lol that's why I've learned so much tool, overall pretty simple riffs but the timing and progressive changes to the riffs are addicting to me. Makes you feel badass when you nail it. Love the videos man I've watched you for years, thanks for all the musical knowledge my bruhthah
Much appreciated!
I can relate to that so much, i used to play alot of metal, fast picking and playing, but there's nothing cooler than playing songs like rosetta stoned from A to Z and nailing all the timing stuff, especially when the riffs are quiite simple but more rythm focused, i love it !
Frooky yeah I love Rosetta stoned. That one takes a good bit of stamina too lol. That badass riff at the very end gets me moist on the tip haha
Great stuff. Just getting into this type of music after a long, long layoff from guitar. Love the tool tutorials. Perfect circle as well. I heard someone (probably me) compare them to Black Sabbath in structure. Adam Jones is very efficient, and he does quite a lot with just a few notes. Very similar to Iommi’s style. Keep up the great work. I’m totally hooked.
Yes. Thank you!
This is fascinating, although he uses a nomenclature unknown to me. Makes me appreciate Adam even more now and I learned about the Phrygian Mode as well. Their music has always struck a chord with me that I never could quite understand. It's elemental.
I know exactly what you mean! You connect to the music like no other band before and for some reason, it's easy to grasp something called "Phrygian Mode" because you truly love the concept of being able to see something so complex at a granular level.
At least that happened to me when I saw Tool last January and felt that too. Haven't listened to anything else since, really. And I've since totally changed from poorly playing a couple Incubus or Dave Matthews songs every couple weeks or months, on acoustic only, to now spending a couple hours every day hoping soon I'll be able to play the Jambi riff or those absurdly intimidating hammer triplets.
2:05 reminds me of Spoonman?
Also in Drop D.
Alex grey on the wall
Why? He's a better plastic artist than Alex Grey.
That Jambi-riff was also on Hooker and Eulogy, very cool technique. Your old AJ video was a huge inspiration for me, dead notes sounded absolutely awesome on that one, haha
It's kind of there. The precision of the "jambi" riff isn't in those examples.
Those examples are less apparent in those riffs, but once you learn to play them with that technique, you finally get the ah ha moment.
adam jones is the man..
Triad?? Probably the best instrumental song by Tool. Please do next 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It should be January's lesson.
Would be nice if you include the solo in the end. I've listen to it, Adam usually plays it live. It's super cool. Anyway can't wait for the lesson.
This was a great Lesson man. Your videos are miles better than they used to be and keep getting better. keep it going :)
You may not know this if you're not a drummer but the 16th triplet tom roll was a big thing in Bonham's playing. Since all of Tool are huge LZ fans, it may comes directly from Bonham
Makes sense. Now I'm going to listen for that, thanks!
I'm truly enjoying this subscription! Exploring Drop D tunes and riffs has been an extreme pleasure...😊
Thank you...!!!
I started off trying to emulate Adam Jones' style and this helped me break into unusual time signatures. And though I had written some stuff before like this -- because I was new to the instrument -- I was unaware that even some of my early riffs were not in 4/4 time. Eventually, I got very comfortable writing stuff outside of the 4/4 box and now, I have developed a style that is completely unique to me. I like my style but I just wish I was better at tying together and filling things in between my many riffs so as to complete a song.
Thanks for all your videos, really informative and easy to comprehend 🤘
Triad full lesson. Hell yeah!
You make it look so easy, awesome!
Wow dude, thank you. I'm awful with music theory and the fucking letters, sheet music etc. But I get it on a practical level just from teaching myself the sounds and how to play them. I saw TOOL live last night and it inspired me to pick up one of my guitars for the first time in years. Adam makes it sound complicated and different but you made me immediately see what he's doing and how to get that sound. Fantastic video.
That Jambi riff always sounded to me like it was inspired by Meshuggah
For sure.
Yes, it become even more obvious to me when I watched the Jambi lesson here
As I recall, Jones actually mentioned being inspired by Meshuggah around the time of 10,000 Days since the bands toured together before that.
Why?
Actually i don't think it is even though he is a big fan of Meshuggah, it was more likely that it fit with the classical music approach to the album & it was said that Jambi is influenced by the iambic pentameter & it was probably just a riff he was messing around with & thought this would work for this track, i know that is definitely the case with the talkbox solo, he said he was waiting to put a talkbox solo on a song & when the song was being developed he said "it has to be in this one!"
Thank you. Brother. !.
Great lesson! Thank you! Been watching your videos for years now, and used some of your earlier videos to learn Guitar
One of your best lessons thus far! \m/
Love this video! Well done!
Top work great concept
New tool album about to drop very soon. Heard it here first.
Probably in August now
fucking genius adam jones !!! so cool guitarist!
Great stuff. Just getting into this type of music after a long, long layoff from guitar. Love the tool instructional. Perfect circle as well. I heard someone (probably me) compare them to Black Sabbath. Adam Jones is very efficient, and he does quite a lot with just a few notes. Keep up the great work. I’m totally hooked.
Could you possibly do a video on Justin Chancellor's bass tone?
Great lessons mate - be great if you could also do a lesson on his soloing techniques....
Hell Yeah! Great lesson!
14:18 Haha! Invincible and 7empest lol! You win the bet!
P.s. Do you mind sharing a shot of that Line 6 preset or sharing the preset itself? I am having a very hard time getting a tone at least somewhat similar to the Jones 7ones.
I'd like to know too, I bought a spider valve and it always sounds like shit, cant tell if it came broken from new or it just doesn't like active EMG pickups.
If there was one of these for Justin Chancellor.....holy crap that would be amazing
That would require me to put in my homework. Challenge accepted. 2018 at some point....
Haha, take your time... Can't wait for whenever it comes :)
Did this happen?
Ya..... did this happen?
axeofcreation still going to do it?
This is awesome. Thanks for doing this!
Top 10 DROP B guitar riffs.
nice post. thanks.
He also uses palm mute a lot, like Schism for example.
Great vid! :)
Great video, simple and concised instruction, love that u updated the AJG lesson. Keep it up i am subscribing.
Much appreciated
Good call on the “Jambi” riff being on the next album! I hope you got that dollar!
We need an updated vid now with some Fear Inoc techniques! 🤘🤘🤘
Awesome! Thank you
Great video
Thank you.
Subbed! This is good stuff...
The Outro to Schism...yeah, it IS really hella cool. But playing that on bass is actually messed up, so I am kind of glad it's only there for that short amount of time :'-D
ty. this was helpful
Great tone my man.
your awesome
Adam is my definition of innovative guitar player. He's not super tecnical but his riffs are so strange and something they don't even make sense. Of course it's just my opinion but i hope to see more guitarist like him in the future
really cool, thanks!
late to this video but a long time Tool fan and a big fan of adams work. I truthfully think he would have ben a great drummer and he plays the guitar like a set of drums at times using the higher f# a# d# strings almost like snares during his muting dead notes to keep the odd time signature going.
Best lesson!!!!’ Ty
Awesome!
Love the update!
I remember a long time ago in the pre-Bias era, you posted two Tool presets for the Pod HD. I actually found some software to convert them for my Pod HD500X (100% compatible, by the way. Pretty crappy of them to make the file types unique).
Those are still my two go-to patches. You put love into those presets, and they sound shockingly better than anything on that board; stock or custom. It taught me a lot about how to get a decent tone out of that device.
Have you published any Bias/Bias FX presets? I think this channel exposed me to Positive Grid as well. There are no words that sufficiently convey my gratitude.
Excellent! I don't have any Bias presets uploaded. I've been using Helix for a little bit now, really dig it.
14:18 (Jambi style)
Invincible: "You called?"
Thanks for your great videos, always helpful and inspiring. I follow you with much attention, despite my serious problems with all is not 4/4... but I don't give up!
Thank you!
dat massive sound!
fucking spot on tone
dude... you are a beast!!!! I want to get started with guitar... where do I even begin?
He also likes to jump almost randomly across the low D and A string (Jambi & The Grudge)
Anybody notice the tab on Lateralas isn't quite what hes playing? And the 7/8 section is grouped 3+1+3 in the sheet music, I thought 7/8 was 3+2+2?
He won the dollar bet for the Jambi style riff
14:18
Looks we all owe you a dollar.
Great video thank you. I'm currently possessed with Tool and Jones. Your sound is very close to his are you using the Diesel amp or pedal?
Hell yeah... i love tool and im a bassist so justin is next 2018 ^^
awesome as always :)
Last. Very nice
Great tips. I already do all of these things. This video just made me realize where it comes from! Do you have any personal music projects?
I will be releasing some tracks in 2018. You can find my project from several years ago hiding in the beginning of my uploads
Great but looked on your site and can't find the tabs. Are the no longer available?
i am surprised that this well rounded journeyman hasn't seen fit to mention Mr. Jones's extension of his range by melding his playing's phrasing with the feedback generated by the magnetic fields thrown out in his 'sweet spot'.
Mr. Jones takes his skills to another level and dimension by exhibiting the evolution of his seminal use of invisible interactions with textured magnetism to manipulate the feedback in a way that artistically counterpoints itself while providing a new layer to the groove to build off; self-counterpointing all the way if he wants.
Brilliant !!
And that skill has got steadily better over the years, if you're interested in my opinion.
i'm out. Thanks for reading this.
P. S. - yeah, i know - - the same effect can be approximated through the intonation of the strings and even by scalloping a fret or three. Perhaps Mr. Jones uses a mélange of the three, impresario that he is. Just saying. Thanx for reading this.
Love your lessons man, and your insight into Jones's style. Could you put a link down for your setting on the Line 6 Helix, I just got mine and I love it but cant quite dial in his tone as well as you have. Thanx Greg!
Yes, I'll share it on my site and patreon!
Any chance you’ve got a Helix patch for Tool sounds on CustomTone? You’re videos and tones are excellent!
How are you doing the muting on this? Awesome videos! Thanks!
Muting comes from both hands, depending on what's being played. One of the unspoken aspects of guitar playing.
Great video! What’s the Kiesel model you’re playing if you don’t mind my asking? She’s a beaut!
woah woah woah............ Just wait there.... what was that intro riff at 11 seconds? really cool dude, sounded like an S.T.P. riff thrown in a mosh pit...
What about his chug rithyms ?
What model kiesel is that man?
I have to wonder why does Jones play everything all the way up the the guitar rather than just playing the higher power chords on the A string, I think the sound difference is negligeble and it seems like unnecessary movement. Just his style I guess.
It's slightly thicker sounding. Tony iommi does this as well
Huh? That's not how drop D works haha
This is easy:
Start bending
Drop D
Silverburst
Diesel amp
Alternate picking
Hi Greg, it's always a pleasure to work on Tool song thanks to your videos. Please try to record a new version of the pot ;)
A question to Adam Jones fans, I will grab in few days a Navigator Les Paul Custom, that has been upgraded (or maybe downgraded) with a SH8 Invader. I plan to change the pickups in the spirit of Adam Jones tone, what pickups would be the most appropriate? I am currently thinking about a BKP Holydiver set, but if you have other set that may fit I am all ear.
I used to have an LP copy that I put Seymour Duncan JB and 59, the set Jones uses and it was spot on. Though, I would think your amp has more to do with that then the pickups.
I thought he used a Duncan Distortion?
No one can play like Adam Jones....
What amp sim are you using ?
Helix
Adam Jones, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, and Tom Morello. Nuff said
So we'll get another do over in two years when 4K is the in thing then? :)
Love the videos, been a long time fan and have learned so much cool stuff from your channel... but the new intro man, it's good it's nice n short, but it's doesn't sound good at all IMO, it's gotta go... Keep up the fantastic work!
Noted. Much appreciated.
Sorry if that might have sounded harsh, I just know you got it in you ;) Still one of my favorite youtubers!
Yes, ''okay''
Subd! Good content, keep it cumming!
That's Mr. Jones to you.
Another great lesson! I use phrygian a lot myself. I really hope Tool branches off from their styles in the new album. I think it's time for some tempo changes during the song, key changes, tuning. Personally, I want something different.
Toxic Potato True. Those simple concepts can still be achieved with the style changes I aforementioned.
Thuroughly enjoyed this video! Subbing for more Tool content!
Welcome! There is a ton of it (Tool content) to go through.
@@axeofcreation I realized after commenting when this video was posted. So hell yeah I didn't have to wait lol. Loving the Tool vids bro. Mad props! And thanks for the reply fellow Tooligan!!!
"The next album" lol
Ha!
Lmao i died.
everyone owes this guy a dollar
Adam jones uses d phrygian im pretty sure
At times, yes.
16th
I appreciate the idea, but a lot of those transcriptions are very wrong. A lot missing.
