- This special edition of the Axe of Creation is in response to many subscribers, whom after watching my Adam Jones lesson; wanted to know what I knew about TooL's The Pot. Done and done was the answer, we love TooL here at Axe and hope you enjoy this lesson. Technically speaking The Pot is no harder than any other Adam Jones composition BUT it can be a little tricky, especially when performing in a live situation. Let this be a lesson to all you Axers out there, I encourage anyone and everyone to send in inquiries about lesson topics and songs. I will always get to everyone's request as soon as humanly possible. Thank you and keep em' comin, so we can stay slayin!

glad to see that i get recommended video after this "how to grow lettuce indoors" (i think youtube is up to something)
Its mind blowing how simple yet difficult Adam Jones playing style is. Definitely a one of a kind guitarist. Its even more mind blowing how you've mastered his style. Best videos on youtube! Im watching them everyday, I've learned an insane amount of knowledge. Im all self taught so Ive had no real proper music training. Thanks again, long live the AXE!!
+Mediocre Guitar Covers Much appreciated! His playing is very straightforward yet subtle, dynamic, and full of variation...which makes it difficult to replicate.
+axeofcreation He's definitely a master of variation.
TOTALLY AGREE! Its all in his rhythm aswell. Jones's Rhythm is magical! Id take rhythm over fret wanking anytime. Another master is Carpenter from Deftones. Just brilliant, elegant and yet so simple. LESS IS MORE!
+axeofcreation im practicing this on an acoustic, because im saving money to buy an electric guitar, an amp and a gadget. is that okay? btw. i mastered 3 tool songs now, i learned from your channel. thank you so much.
Couldn't agree more. Love these lessons.
I consider the pot one of the best songs I've ever heard. It's fired up my blood every time I hear it.
This really helps to learn this to blind people or almost blind like me. Mayby I play this on my guitar exam :)
The main riff sounds so f***** heavy! This will be the next song I´ll learn, good teaching btw, keep em coming x)
Been watching your Tool videos. I love the fact that you say "either way is correct, its the same note". I can't stand in other videos where they say "this is the correct way because its how such and such plays it". Or the comments that follow stating how "You're playing it wrong", when its the same just a different position. It's music people. It's meant to be expressed creatively and yes even the artist that created it will play if differently. My favorite guitarist never played the same song the same each night let alone the solo as recorded.
Right on! Finally, somebody else who gets it.
The section played at 6:32 has a different chord between each power chord change. The G & B strings are fretted at the second fret to give the open chord a different sound. So you would strum open 2x then fret GB 2x, 2nd fret power chord 2x then go back to GB 2x, 3rd power 2x then GB 2x, 5th power chord. You can hear the variation in the song and if you watch live footage you will see that he is fretting the G & B strings for that part.
Adam Jones is an amazing composer, so much complexity! Great playing dude!
Brilliant lesson man. The go-to guy when it comes to Tool riffs. It's almost as if getting lessons from the man Adam Jones himself! Thank you

me showing my friend that i can play
mik3lee98 lmao
This comment made my day hahah
literally some of the best guitar tutorials out there
Your videos have helped so much in learning Tool's songs and techniques. Thanks much and keep up the good work!
Thanks for the video. I've been playing for decades and this song, as cool as it is, was rather daunting. The way you broke it down was awesome and made it look easy. without being pretentious or using too much theory, you make this song very accessible. I don't comment much on videos, but I just wanted to let you know how instrumental you were in helping me to learn this song.
I've watched the way you play tool songs and I can tell you took some time to master their sound. It sounds great. Congratulations! I also love the time you take to do these videos. :D
LONG LIVE THE AXE!!
Adam jones is a pure genius and thank you thank you so much for making this lesson and playthrough I cant wait to start learning this song I just discovered tool btw instantly fell in love with their music thank you again sir.
So clear and very well explained. Thank you my friend. I fucking love this band!
Sweet walkthrough. You explain so well, direct, and make it real easy to learn. I love how you don’t fart around, and get right to the business. So many videos draggggggg. I already knew how to play this one, but glad I clicked on your vid to see what you did. Totally random. Props, bro.
Thanks dude! This is my favorite Tool song and its about time I learned it. This helped a lot, keep up the good work!
Beyond EXCELLENT!! You definitely have skills! Thanks for the lesson!
That last part is tricky! Then again, I have been playing for only a year lololool. Great lesson, I appreciate the time you took to do this video, thank you!
Wow! Awesome lesson. I started 10 minutes ago and I have half of the song learned. I have to figure out some riffs and practice but in a couple of hours is in my pocket. Thanks for the lesson!!
I really like the way you explain this piece! A great mix of musicality and simplicity. Loved the on screen guide during the play through. Almost immediately, I was able to play riffs that I don't believe I could have learned as easily from any other source. A great teacher for sure. Thank you so much!
I just want to thank you for this!! So happy right now
I just found your channel yesterday and it's amazing, you have a lot of things in which I'm into right now, this lesson it's great, I know it's an old video, but continue the amazing job, thanks a lot
Welcome!
Thank you so much for teaching all of us !
🤘🤘
If you have the time could you please do an updated version of this? I feel like your more recent tutorials are way more streamlined and easier to follow than the old ones. Huge fan of your work btw best Tool tutorials on UA-cam!!
Excellent presentation! and all the other Tool vids Thank you.
That is an awsome lesson. Great job as always my man!
Awesome song, awesome lesson! Glad to have found your channel man good stuff, keep 'em coming please!
Really nice!! pretty well done!! love your lessons already!!
Savage, yet so chill. Love it!!!
best guitar cover ever! dude you are amazing
I was asked to play on a Tool tribute band, this is amazingly helpful
Fantastic lesson!
Honestly this is THE BEST tutorial for this song ever! You really explain this well!
good explaining!! definitly want others video of tool from you!
I wanna know what setup you have... That amp and effects sound sick... I love it.
It's crunchy, reminds me of later Pumpkins tone e.g. everlasting gaze.. not saying a great song, but I feel like there is similarity in tone. It's raspy and rippy.
did u find it ?
Been watching this for years... just noticed it's an Agile Guitar... I have 3 :) Love em!! Great video too!
jamming 'the pot' this weekend with mates. super helpful vid, & got it all sussed now :) cheers!
It's cool! I appreciate it . Fun as hell to play
Many thanks for this lesson I was waiting for ! I will work it tonight but it seems you enlighted well the part I was blocking on.
Amazing thankyou :) love this song soooo much
thank you so much...this lesson is awesome!!!
Thank you for showing how to play a lot of TOOL's guitar-works. My right hand is quite accurate with the picking. But, my left hand needs to be reminded where to go.
Thanks a lot for your efforts! Awesomely done!cheers!
one of my favourite songs ever
Sweet! I found my request in your other videos. Nice cover too. Thanks for teaching us how to shred some Tool axe man⛏🔪🎸
terrific lesson
Excellent lesson. Thank You.
@hceely Thank you so much. Honestly, I find the most challenging thing about Tool is replicating the songs in live situations rather than being able to play the songs. Having all the effects dialed in just right along with having absolute control over your dynamics. Rosetta Stoned is definitely a challenge, especially because of it's length and like you said variation. The second half of that song is so fun to play!
Man I really appreciated your videos! Thanks!
You just filled my after noon in a useful way. Thanks
Thank you so much!
it's one thing to try and figure this out yourself and then get the tabs but to actually be shown like this is awesome, thanks dude, rockin this on my acoustic atm. btw your so unpretentious too thanks again
Thank you! You have to be logged in to download the transcriptions
I have no words, Greek, amazing performance.
@Mattigw Thanks a lot!! You should definitely be learning the music you love and want to play. No Quarter would be quite the endeavor. There is a lot to that song, lots of guitar tracks going on. One of their best tracks. It's like Zeppelin wrote it for Tool.
Flawless victory!
this lesson really helped me learn the chorus
The guitar riffs are usually D minor pentatonic and fairly easy, but together as a band is when the really magic happens with Tool. Their music is highly progressive, yet they're very subtle about it. Adam Jones doesn't playing blistering solos or sweeping arpeggios, he's contributing in a subtle way letting the other instruments to be heard instead of being selfindulgent.
mate you're a boss, cheers
took me a few days. but i learned it. you give great lessons for intermediate players
Great video man, really helped me out!
Great lesson! I would love to hear more about the theory and intervals, just as much as the time signatures and tabulature. Thanks!
thanks for this. Now I am able to play the song!
Hi. Great job on this video/song. What a great tune! Although I struggle learning this, you did a really good job of not saying too much...just what matter. Very clear and to the point. Now I just have to learn it lol
Thank you for this video!!
awesome videos man, I have not been playing that long but I've heard from most people that the first songs you should be working on are the ones you love, and lucky for me that you have showed us a few already. Still hoping you will do a 'No Quarter' video someday, I love it more and more every time I listen to it. Keep up the good work!
Awesome!
Wow,,,that was cool,,,a real metal piece,,,I am gonna have fun with this one,,,probably go on a tangent of my own,,,lol,,,thank you !
Amazing work man!!!
This is a learning vid. But I really enjoyed it.....like a lot. you nailed sounds that I did not think was possible. I thank you, and applaud.
UA-cam has made learning songs so easy thanks
Awesome 👍
Thank u so much!! 😇 Amazing lesson
thanks man, i eared the first half but your really helped with the last half thanks again. keep it up.
Perfect tutorial!!
Really great video!!!
Thank you so much, after sitting down with my guitar and replaying your video over and over for the past hour and a half.. Ive pretty much got 85% of the song down (playing it well) - i shall come back later when its not half 9 at night and learn the rest.
Bahatreen bhai!!
That is a very patient playing style. You do a great job of bringing Adam Jones to life LOL
great tone !
Just finished learning all of your Tool lessons \m/ one that I really want to play is Eulogy. Consider that it's a great song \m/
Nice lesson, this dude been playin' since before UA-cam lol definitely sick at breaking down what's going on.
I'm not sure how to take that but I love the reference!
hey man a just wont to say i love your lessons! you helped me allot . keep it going !

fun stuff...really cool to hear this.

It's cool man. I honestly have no idea the specific model (got it from a friend) but it plays nice and sound great. So for the price you can't beat it.
Heck yeah, man! Rippin it!
