TOOL's (Adam Jones') 22 Greatest Guitar Techniques!

[@marki7661]

Not gonna lie, pretty jealous! One technique I’ve always loved that Adam uses that u didn’t show, is picking between the bridge and saddles, for that eerie sitar like quality. As he uses in “third eye” although it’s another one that can only be done on a guitar with a LP style bridge/saddle setup...try it using your “extended drop D chord shape, mainly on strings 2, 3 and 4...u’ll hear it

[@SuperDouginator]

You don’t cover unless you are a very good musician.....

[@fatih6097]

​@teargazed if I remember correctly, Paul wanted to go back to guitar, so he had to leave the band. and so, Justin is TOOL's bassist since Aenima ( second album, 1996). today, TOOL's members are irreplaceable in the way of maintaining their "new" sound. I mean, it is quite obvious how grungy "Undertow" and "Opiate" sounds. Since Aenima, it did change to a new direction. if you replaced one of them, same might happen, leading to the loss of what is known as "TOOL" nowadays. P.S: I really am curious about what might could have been with Paul!

[@mobeus84]

We covered tool and it made us a draw in kc. The issue is doing a full cover band. We just threw one in per show. But done right it's amazing. We not only confuse our fans but we get them in that vulnerable space. Big for us.

"I'm gonna teach you riffs in the style of tool, not the exact tool riffs, theres alot of reasons for that nowadays" Hearing you say that really makes me wish that KZbin didn't copyright people for doing their own cover of another artist song. I mean, it's not like you're downloading a song illegally, you listening to a song made by someone else taking their own shot and take at the song.

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Amen brother.

[@KrazyIndeed]

You can not mass produce, and make money, off of another persons work without their permission...If KZbinr's weren't getting paid, it wouldn't be such an issue. As they are earning profits using someone else's work, it gets put into copyright territory. A cover band in a dive bar will not have the troubles with copyright unless they actually put out an album and try to sell it. People paying to see a cover band is not the same as that cover band putting out an album available to the public, for profit. KZbinrs are not here to help you out of the kindness of their heart. They are here to make money (Bitcoin, PayPal, Patreon, etc.).That puts them squarely into copyright violations.

[@srhatfield]

@@KrazyIndeed music instruction is covered under fair use laws, so copyright only applies when you are KZbin and being completely inept at your job

Existing copyright laws only apply to 20 or more seconds of recorded material that get transmitted over public airwaves. AKA radio. KZbin applies this without discretion because they are not a public utility.

[@tp3821]

Adam also uses a volume pedal for those “swells”. I’m starting to think that if he wants to go for a cleaner type sound he just uses the volume pedal to lower the volume but stay on whatever channel he’s on. New songs like Invincible where it starts off quiet and then progressively gets louder, same with Descending.

Oh yeah, he never changes channel, he just plays with the volume, it's pretty known. He is the probably the greatest dynamic player out there.

Well, the process of creating is always longer than the process of recreating.

[@rogerfurer2273]

On feedback: try changing the distance from the speaker. There is a physical relationship between the length of the string, the harmonic, and the distance from the speaker. You can change from say a second harmonic (string length divided by 2) to a third harmonic (string length divided by 3) by moving the guitar towards the speaker by that length difference. Appropriate EQ helps.

[@chefmike8888]

I’ve watched an interview with Maynard and was asked why he stands where he does. I also thought it was because he’s not the band but an equal member. So to sort of stop some from getting the ‘singer is the important one’ thought, they have an open mind. Maynard actually stated that believe it or not, standing in front of Danny’s drums can be damaging to one’s hearing. He started doing that during rehearsals and quickly realized that standing where he does gives him a much clearer representation of what the band is playing than what stage monitors do. So now he hears the band as they are and saves his hearing at the same time. It’s a win win. And of course the added benefit of showcasing the whole band as the frontman as it should be.

Great video. I too share the obsession. What strikes me so much about Adam Jones style of playing is it's so basic and elementary. It's not about crazy fast solos or how many notes you can cram into a measure he uses basic beginner ideas to make these sounds. Furthermore I find that Danny Carey is the eddy van Halen of the band. While Justin often carries the melody that Maynard's voice follows with and Adam while he's the guitarist he is more a combination of what a traditional bass player and drummers role would be in the band. It's so unique.
