- I realized a lot of people can't figure out the triplet trick on Jambi (it took me some time to figure it out myself) so I did this video to help out. Let me know if there's any questions.
You're hearing a Fender Telecaster with a Kinman pickup through a George El cable into an Elmwood Modena amp.

Am I the only who thinks the rhythms in this song are super Meshuggah. It might just be that those triplets remind me of the herta rhythm in "Bleed". Love both bands.
ah! finally a good jambi's intro. well played :)
I agree with your approach to the triplet. Sounds spot and is easy to place once you learn to roll with it. Your picking hand is the time keeper. Keep the on pace an let your fretting hand do the rest. Thank you for making a video specifically talking about that triplet!
No problemo Anthony. Really glad you found is helpful :)
FINALLY!!! I have been trying to get this part for so long and it always sounded wrong down to my soul! Couple that with the fact that you're using a tele and it sounds fantastic which just makes it that much better. Thank you very much for this.
brokin6 Glad it helped you. This damned riff baked my noodle quite a bit too until I figured it out and I was like aaaaaaaaaaaah! THAT's how it's done haha :)
yup that's the way. I watched him do it tons of times till I figured it out. brilliantly simple.
such a cool trick so well explained - thanks!!!!
Glad you liked it :)
SLAPPAH DA BASS MON!!
Thanks for the vid, I knew I was missing something there. Much appreciated.
Damn dude, this really helped! Got in down in a couple of minutes!
Glad it helped :)
I play it exactly the way you play it and I always thought I was wrong. I just BS'd it cause everyone else on youtube plays it different but my way (also your way) sounds correct.
I have no idea actually. I'm not particularly a big Tool fan. I play this song when I teach at the LA Music Academy as a part of their rock curriculum and I just couldn't figure out how the hell he did it. So once I had it figured out I wanted to pass the secret on haha :)
Thank you so much! I was looking forward to play this riff correctly!
Absolutely nailed it 👌
Thank you!
Had no idea it was played this way, but it sounds great. I'll give it a try
I know what I did wrong! I pressed the D too hard, so my triplet sounded out of rythm. I just needed to lightly touch it and it worked! Thanks :)
You are amazing! Thank you for this video!
I'm using an Elmwood Stinger for this. Think the eq was around 12 o clock all around or something like that. It's not a particularly high gain amp but it has great attack and definition which is why I like it a lot :) The rest is just a telecaster and my hands.
thank you John!
SLAPIN DA BASS MAN!!! LOL
great cover helped me alot thanks alot
beautiful explanation thanks man
Glad you found it useful :)
I really haven't tweaked the eq at all. I'm using an Elmwood Stinger and I think the eq was about 12 o clock all around or something like that. It's not a particularly high gain amp but it has great attack and definition which is why I like it a lot :) The rest is just a telecaster and my hands. A good word of advice is to use less distortion. When you roll that off you get much more attack. What kind of amp are you using?
I figured the world needs to know :D
Nice nuno tribute at the end
Hi, great vid! Helped me out loads! I was wondering, on what other songs does AJ use this technique?
great buddy, you nailed it! just a little question...what´s your EQ? i just can´t get the right tone.....
Nice!
When i do it, it sounds like shit, how do i stop the big E from ringing out and muddying everything up? I can get the definition in the triplet just fine it's just that I don't know how to shut up the big E
+courgeonaute Your right hand is the path and the truth :)
+courgeonaute This is correct.
Palm mute everything.
i´m using a small amplifier (60w) and a Aria Strat with a Dimarzio Megadrive in the bridge...
what about rest of the parts ? after that one part is really difficult and i still dont understand how it goes
What do you mean? As a general rule. Every time you hear a triplet he's doing that same trick.
Play it on the 3rd fret. Then proceeds all up and down the neck , lol great instruction
:)
great sound mate, mind if I ask what your amp is and settings are??? :)
Is that a scalloped fretboard '52 reissue? Never seen one with a scalloped board. Great playing.
That was perfect way to explain it ! But I still can't get it right
maaaannnnnn!!!!!!
what is the first hit that comes up on 'how to play Jambi'? Mr. John Huldt! :D
ACCURATE
THANKS
Glad you found it helpful.
John Huldt yeah gonna do a tribute tomorrow and this saved me!!! Cheers mate
Is that a scalloped fretboard?
trying it on a classic guitar lol the trick is pretty impossible but on electric it works like a charm
why did you cut it? it was going so well
I got scared.
nice axe. so shiny.
adam jones is insane, this aint easy at all
Yeah it takes a little getting used to but once you get it, it's not too bad :)
Cheers for the tip with that start riff.
I love how good guitar players make it look so easy,I Suck
my god look at the scalloping
fucksake ive been trying to do this technique all with the right hand with limited success hahaha, goddamn carpal tunnel for nothing
Haha that would require Meshuggah like levels of picking hand dexterity. Turns out, it's actually really easy.
0:43 when you try to speak another language
lol
its hard
