Someone said it before on a different Tool lesson of yours, but your attitude towards teaching is great, you tell people to play it however you want, you are a musician and it's your guitar.

I’ve been playing for 3 years and within the first 6 months I tried playing this song, and could get all the way through until that VERY LAST riff at the end, last night I was finally able to conquer it. Thanks Greg for these videos, I probably wouldn’t be playing guitar today if I didn’t learn Tool from you so early in my playing

I've to thank you for this channel. I've owned a guitar for 20 years but not really played much in the past 18. I picked it up during covid and thru this channel I am by far the best I have ever been. I was terrible in high school but could play some basic chords and Doors Songs. Even though I only play Tool songs, I can play entire songs for the first time in my life ( !! ) and its awesome to pick up a new skill like this at 37. And it actually feels easy.

I've been a TOOL fan since the early 2000s and recently i picked up learning guitar. I've always wanted to but never had the guts to try it. Now after 3 months of watching youtube & justinguitar beginner courses i've found myself watching your videos. Thank you so much for these videos! i'm learning a ton and having a blast while doing it. As i'm quite new, i find it difficult to match the tones from your videos, could you perhaps make a beginner friendly video on how to use an amplifier? I've messed around with gain / treble / bass and there are hundreds of effects on this thing i have but i don't know where to start.

Excellent video! This song has so many little nuances to each part that its hard to pick up on them. I KNEW there was a reason that chorus was throwing me so bad because if it was in one time signature it shouldn't have been so difficult. The way you explained the 4/4 feel is really what made that transition from 6/8 to 4/4 to 6/8 again smooth. Great job.

It's just the way you set your delay. Keep your "feedback" below 30% and and the lower the delay setting the the more slap back or reverby your delay can become. I like to run two delays; one delay around 200-300ms and the other around 700ms with the shorter delay slightly lower in the mix (compared to the longer delay).

The opening riff is super easy to memorize when you break it up into it’s time signatures and changes. Think of the rhythm as 3/4 for the first three notes, 3/4 again for the second 3 notes, then 4/4 for the final four notes.

@chuzzman42 The perfect example is the solo for Stinkfist. I used to play it in 3rd position. I liked how raw and aggressive it sounded BUT Jones' plays it up in 14 position on the lower strings. I tend to use heavy string gauge so if I play exactly how Jones play it sounds way to low and loses it's rich vocal quality you get playing in a higher position, so I'll play it in 9th position. Sounds great. Now to say that's "wrong" because it's not where Jones plays it? No.

I've recently switched amps. I had the Peavey Vypyr 120 but I'm now using the Line 6 HD Pro. I don't mean this as a jape to your amp but I'm not a fan of Marshall amps (for metal). They've always lacked what I was looking for. That being said your using your Digitech for your distortion (or should be). Try to aim for the prototypical "scooped" sound. That should give you a good foundation for you to tweak to your liking.
