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
They both hit this switch and let all the feedback through at once. Im like 900000% sure it summons fucking demons when they do that. BAD FUCKING VIBES ON ACID lmao. Baddd. But in the best way possible
Not being able to play the actual riffs, god damn this whole DMCA takedown stuff happening. It's the same with Rick Beato's channel, which is also educational. But the good news is: TooL are NOT blockers and they appreciate educative content about their work and promote it on Facebook and other social media channels. So TooL really are - again - the good guys.
@@caseyjones7404 dude rick beato is awesome. What did he do to you? There's no way he could have said or done something to offend you in his videos. All his content is wholesome musical knowledge... I'm so confused lol
I went to a Tool concert where the road crew was tuning up and getting everything ready for the show after the starting act was done...They brought out a mid-sized duffle bag and just left it on stage. For about 15 minutes, nothing happened. The lights went out, the band came on stage, started playing and son of a bitch if Maynard didn't pop out of that bag and start killing it!!
One of friends told me about similar experience: he saw in skies somehing that moved very fast. As he explained: "I only started to theorize "is it UFO or what?" as it suddenly approached me and .. I felt like it exploded inside my brain and those damned aliens started theirs intergalactic congress about problems of Universe!" Be cautious with such stuff, bro I would not say that's outright bad but it could be dangerous
Although he's been coming out of the shadows more this tour. Seems like he was bored playing the greatest hits for over a decade. Nice to see him actually interacting with his Tool brothers again.
@Matthew Andrews yea. That's really the reason. He's always suffered from terrible stage fright. I can attest to it, and I've only sung in front of dozens of people. He's sung in front of tens of thousands. I can't imagine...
Thanks for your musician analysis; Adams guitar work always made me appreciate his sonic creativity rather than conventional standards of mastery like scales and speed shredding.
Sadly I don't want a U.S. made guitar. A Burny or the like is good. I have a 70s l.p. standard cherry burst lawsuit era but a white or black special looks so nice! TRUMP is making the U.S. look way less like leaders.
Hey Dreamtree this guys an IDIOT, everything is trumps fault to people like this, Leave the U.S.then see how good you have anywhere else. you would come begging to get back in. go live in Mexico wont last a week.
@@deasename5839 Since gibson started to think people should pay that much for a guitar that is more poorly made every year that passes, Tokai its my new standard
the thing i really love about Tool is how unique every single member sounds. most bands might have a distinctive sound, but it's typically with one or two instruments (vocals not included, since every single band's vocals are different) like certain guitar tones or drum techniques. but Tool is one of those bands that is so easily identifiable, like, even if they didn't invent a certain sound, anytime you hear it, you automatically think of Tool. not even with just guitar, because the drums and bass also have a very distinct sound, like the huge sounding drums with complex patterns, or that clicky and fuzzy, but also dirty sounding bass. even Maynard has his own Tool sound, like, despite being in A Perfect Circle and Puscifer, he sounds different in Tool, i don't really know how to explain it. i know Tool fans have a reputation for sounding pretentious, but i truly mean it when i say they're such a unique, one of a kind band.
Hey everyone, thanks for watching. If you like what I'm doing can you do me a favor and share your favorite AoG video on your social media of choice? Hell even Myspace. haha. Thanks in advance, I'm off to work on the next lesson now. -Mike
Hey Mike keep up the good work man. I've been learning guitar for over 30 years now, as players it never ends. I send a lot of young players your way. best of luck
@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!
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.
Thank God someone identified the percussive nature of Adam Jones's playing style. I said that to someone recently and they looked at me like I was insane. Great video on Jones techniques. Adam Jones is personally my favorite guitarist and I've studied his techniques for years and this is all spot on. excellent video!
Josh S Adam once said in like a Revolver interview that he uses a drumming rhythm that I think Danny taught him for Ænema that he referred to as ‘pass the goddamn butter.’ So you’re absolutely not wrong.
This is so compact with knowledge, I keep coming back to it every few months and walk away with something new and cool every time. So appreciated, thanks a ton!
Jacob Bretz, same here man. Adam Jones is by far my favorite guitarist ever. And I agree, awesome guy here... love his way of explaining and just seems like a really cool, nice dude.
Fantastic video, the way you're able to morph all of these riffs and still show all of these techniques tells me you're a pretty damn good artist yourself. It took me a while to really appreciate how unique Adam's (and Justin's) Guitar styles really are. You've captured this perfectly.
This was one of the best guitar vids I’ve ever watched. Tool is incredible. Thank you for explaining these techniques that, I’m sure a lot of us, have grown to love.
Yeah, thanks a lot for this! I am loving Tool since years and for many guitar parts I did not understand how to produce the specific sounds. You're lifting all the cool secrets, very inspiring to implement that ideas into own songs.
"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 RUclips 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.
You can not mass produce, and make money, off of another persons work without their permission...If RUclipsr'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. RUclipsrs 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.

thanks for always making such comprehensive videos!! i'm still kind of a beginner, been playing a bit over a year, and there's so much that your youtube helps with!!
@Idea Headed Ya I do the exact same thing. Most times I just noddle around on my guitar instead of actual practicing but hey I suppose it's better than not playing at all.
Awesome video! It just shows the true genius of Adam Jones, using simple techniques in creative ways to create a new universe of sonic possibilities. Great lesson!
I've been using this video to teach myself the techniques and style Adam has, which is what made me pick up a guitar a few months back, and I just want to thank you, man. This video is perfect. You're a very good teacher.
That is one beautiful Gibson. I love your videos man. The platform of showing how the greats do their thing is fricken cool. Especially because you are playing it right. Keep it up.
This is an awesome video man, This gave me so many ideas for riffs and cool affects that I never thought of before. I instantly went to my guitar and came up with some pretty cool stuff
This is crazy. I've started to listen to Tool recently again after a bit of a break and then finally news comes out that the new album is coming out. Then I tuned to drop D last week for the first time (6 months into seriously learning to play) and was loving the thick sound. I was looking up your greatest technique videos for Adam Jones last night and it didn't exist. But I wake up today and see you just posted it. Crazy coincidences.
It’s awesome to see a video focusing on the mechanics and techniques rather than how to cover the exact songs. For someone who knows all the covers, but wants to write their own riffs with a tool-style influence, this really helps!
That open D trick must have got stuck in my head and I subconsciously brought it out because I've been doing that thing on my bass and guitar and it sounds so great. Thanks for these videos
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.
This video is fucking awesome! Thanks for taking the time to do this 🙂 Opeth is another great band (Lots of great riffs, emotional chord progressions and folky fingerpicking goodness)
I couldn't get enough of this! I haven't watched them live so most of the things he does seemed like black magic to me. As a total novice, I really had no idea what he was doing. Thanks for piercing the veil!
"Great video!" It's crazy how for awhile I would think "It would take me forever to learn some of these TOOL tunes." How you comfortably show these techniques Adam does makes it SO possible bro. Excellent,, my TOOL jamming is sounding good. Thanks!!!!! \,,/
Being out of guitar for a decade looking for some inspiration... This helps as Tool and Korn were certainly my inspirations and this video has all the content I was looking for when I dropped out. Thank you very much
I love Adam's stuff. He's such a cool guitar player and gives a really cool atmosphere to Tool. I'd love if you could do one of these artist's series on Matt Bellamy from Muse.
Fun feedback trick I've done is fuzz, wah, and chorus. The sound just circulates in a unique way, and the slightest movements changed the controlled chaos. Very fun
Brilliant video Mike. As a music lover of rock guitar you always know what you like but as a beginner guitarist you have no idea how those artists produce those sounds. So thank you so much for sharing techniques I can practice to make my own sound in the School of Adam Jones.
A lot of people like to bag on STP as derivative or copycats. I suppose that's true of their first album, but they really bloomed into their own thing and the Deleo brothers were both pretty great. Just too bad that Scott couldn't coexist with them and his problems.
@Luke Robinett Agree with you on Purple, disagree on Core. It was a solid debut, but that's all; there wasn't really anything that made it stand out from the rest of the pack.
13:22 I LOVE that sound SOOO much! Its why Jimmy has to be one of if not my favorite Tool song. The slow, heavy, and eerie vibe it vives is just too good I cant listen to it without rewinding to that part a few times.
I've also discovered the strange pull-off/string-skipping technique thanks to Ben Eller, and after that playing "Jambi" became one of the funniest things to do on a guitar!
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.
I just watched you for the very first time. In 24 minutes I learned more from you than anyone, anywhere, ever. New subscriber, new fan for life. You know your s#=t. Thank you for this nugget of knowledge. Thanks for the future knowledge you will impart. 😎
I've been a dedicated Les Paul player ever since I first heard Adam Jones and my most prized possession is my 1981 Les Paul Custom, in tuxedo black of course.
Update: Adam Jones himself contacted me via Instagram and told me he approves this video. :) #starstruck!!!!
Thats fucking awesome!
Such an honor!

Absolutely love this series ever since the first one I saw on Randy Rhoads. I shared the video with all my friends who play.
Fun feedback trick I've done is fuzz, wah, and chorus. The sound just circulates in a unique way, and the slightest movements changed the controlled chaos. Very fun
Brilliant video Mike. As a music lover of rock guitar you always know what you like but as a beginner guitarist you have no idea how those artists produce those sounds. So thank you so much for sharing techniques I can practice to make my own sound in the School of Adam Jones.
Thank you Mike for all your awesome videos
Nailed it. Thanks. Rhythmic hammers and finger drags are awesome...
Your videos always inspire me to play more, great video sir
Awesome video, Adam Jones is an amazing guitarist. Also, how about a Greatest Techniques for Billy Corgan, Matt Bellamy or Alex Lifeson?
This is so awesome and inspiring!!! Great video!!
I'd like to see a video on stone temple pilots guitar style. He used lovely, unusual chords and really creative techniques.
A lot of people like to bag on STP as derivative or copycats. I suppose that's true of their first album, but they really bloomed into their own thing and the Deleo brothers were both pretty great. Just too bad that Scott couldn't coexist with them and his problems.
@Luke Robinett Agree with you on Purple, disagree on Core. It was a solid debut, but that's all; there wasn't really anything that made it stand out from the rest of the pack.
It blows my mind how much there is to practice here. Thanks for the music bro 🎵🎶🎵
Thank you! Great tipps and techniques... and great guitar sound, btw.
Wow!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and explanation. Greetings from Mexico. Amazing video.
Everyone’s talking about predicting the Fear Inoculum riff, but the lesson at 19:07 is a slower version of the riff about halfway through ‘7empest’
"Its not like he comes out and shreds and does an epic solo"
*laughs in 7empest*
Alphalax or cold and ugly, the first tool song lmao, now the solo isn’t epic it’s more hot garbage but still
@@Xakslied I was thinking the end of Bottom
That was awesome. I probably won’t learn more than 2 or 3 tool songs, but I’m going to sit down and learn all of these techniques!!
Great video with some cool technics appreciate your efforts
12:25 Adam Jones normally does the pick scrape in the opposite direction. Just a tip :) Great video!!
Excellent video Mr. Art of Guitar.
Great Video, very well done, everything explained very well, Great job!!!!!!
13:22 I LOVE that sound SOOO much! Its why Jimmy has to be one of if not my favorite Tool song. The slow, heavy, and eerie vibe it vives is just too good I cant listen to it without rewinding to that part a few times.
You mean Jambi, but I do agree that is definitely one of their best
I've also discovered the strange pull-off/string-skipping technique thanks to Ben Eller, and after that playing "Jambi" became one of the funniest things to do on a guitar!
Yeah yeah , Adam is awesome and so are you. Kudos
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.
I just watched you for the very first time. In 24 minutes I learned more from you than anyone, anywhere, ever. New subscriber, new fan for life. You know your s#=t. Thank you for this nugget of knowledge. Thanks for the future knowledge you will impart. 😎
Awesome mate! Very helpful 🤘🤘
thats badass mike i was looking for something to go along with a melody I have had for years.
I've been a dedicated Les Paul player ever since I first heard Adam Jones and my most prized possession is my 1981 Les Paul Custom, in tuxedo black of course.
