- Опубликовано: 27 июн 2011
- 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 Vicarious. Done and done was the answer, we love TooL here at Axe and hope you enjoy this lesson. Technically speaking Vicarious is no harder than any other Adam Jones composition BUT variation wise it can get a taxing on the memory with all the slight variations and fills that are thrown in. 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!

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.
this song is so badass.. still makes me well up a bit near the end. lyrics are amazing too
GAY
Scottyin AUS Fuck you
Yo we got the same name lol
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
That's what it's all about! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Same bro! The real AOC changed my life 🤘🏼
Great lesson, perfect pace, and the recap at the end is brilliant. Thanks a million for sharing your skills for us TOOL/Adam Jones fans.
man everytime I forget the tabs to a song I come back to your tutorials and everytime I'm amazed, we are so f-ing lucky to have you!
WOW! I sit around watching videos of covers and "learn to play"'s all day while looking up tabs and what not to learn how to play songs. Usually I have to take a little from everywhere to get the sound from the song, but this is by far the best guitar teaching video I have seen, and Ive seen thousands. Thank you for your time to put this up. I love Tool and I love this song, been trying to get it just right for awhile and your video explained it perfectly.
Too good bro too good ! loved the way you broke the parts up explained them individually and then put everything together in the end! perfect !!!
Thank you for putting out this vid. I figured out all the parts of the intro riff, but I didn't exactly know the pattern and how many time I needed to do certain parts. This helped a lot.
I've struggled learning full Tool songs because of all the variations and always found it tough getting it right. These videos have helped me nail these songs and faster than I ever thought I could. So 11 years later, thank you for these amazing videos 🙏
Thanks dude, awesome video. Never appreciated how awesome the guitar was in the chorus until watching this video, always overlooked in favour of riff 2 and didn't really notice because of the singing. Amazing.
Ridiculously awesome! Jones would be proud.
I know you uploaded this and a lot of your other lessons years ago, but I just wanted to say thank you so much for these video lessons. I haven't actually had to use any in a long time, but I remember any time I was figuring out how to play a tool song, and I would be struggling with figuring out a certain part, I would look for a tab first and quickly realize that it was completely wrong, then I would just look up "how to play (song title)" and look for you in the thumbnail and I could always count on you to actually know the correct way to play the part, and all I had to do was just watch you play it at a really slow tempo a few times, and then I'd have the part down in seconds. so thank you for making these lesson videos. I would even use them sometimes to make sure I was playing parts of songs I'd figured out on my own correctly when it was hard to tell if I was actually playing it right or I was just playing something that was close enough to sound right. I was just playing this song and remembered your videos so I wanted to say thanks.
Thanks alot ! This is my favorite tool song and I had forgotten how to play it but its all coming back to me thanks to you ! Keep playing and teaching youre amazing at both!
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.
Some of the best guitar teaching I've seen on youtube, love your work.
Man - you are a God...SO useful. One of the very best lessons I've seen on RUclips. Great playing. Thanks +++ for taking the time to do this for all us Tool fans.
Cheers,
Steve
Thanks, i watch this video every single day. Awesome! He makes it sound simple... I'll get there. Tool "Vicarious" is the best song ever !
Awesome job, very clear, and shown the full song at the end was brilliant 🤘🤘🤘
@crimsonakd Thank you so much!! So glad I can help. Let me know if you have questions.
It's just so fucking long and complicated and has these odd time signatures all over the place. Its harder than eruption omg I love it
Amazing video. I just discovered this video yesterday and now you have taught me to play my all time favorite songs on guitar in under a day, thanks a million.
@anidemolimacnauj Lesson transcriptions can be found on my site axeofcreation(dot)com. Once you log in there will be a download link under the description.
it's harder than it sounds.
The whole song or the opening riff?
i'd say it sounds harder than it is to play
as a beginner i find the opening eassy and the rest impossible
im intermediate so i just keep forgetting which part comes next which is odd because i’ve listened to vicarious at least 4000 times. I just get dumb when i play
tbh its pretty easy until about half way through for me. only been playing 6 months.
@MetalEngulfer yes. all transcriptions can be found on my site axeofcreation/com
The climax riffs at the end are so bad ass. Great job!
yeah, transcriptions are on my site axeofcreation/com. once you log in there will be a link under the video description
Excellent video for intermediate and advanced players. Nice, quick and clear walk through without any time consuming chitchat.
This is an amazing video! Having the sections in text on screen are a real help. Subscribed as you've got some other good videos, keep up the good work!
@axeofcreation thank you for showing respect and go for the check. i like your videos cause explaination is really needed rather than only showing stuff to realize whats going on there. btw im drummer but thanks to you i can play this song on guitar now and i like it much :)
Excellent lesson! I was struggling to find the patterns in it, thank you for the great explanation
Thank you so much for the Tool tutorials!! I'm a beginner, but thanks to you, I have a couple of Tool songs in the works.
@Pedro Aguilar link to the tabs is in the description
You can find the tab on my site axeofcreation/com. There will be a link in the video description (once your logged in). Thanks so much!
Thanks for the lesson. It was fun watching you play the whole thing straight through. It helps understand the parts better than just looking at the tabs.
LOL I remember being just a fledgling with my new SG soming to your videos my first year playing in 2013....Getting frustrated..I thought you moved too fast but really I just didn't know the basics of guitar yet. Fast forward 7 years later. I've learned how to shred scales up and down the neck and compose my own riffs. Now going though your videos is the perfect pace. Thanks for helping me learn my favorite songs!
You are very professional and I love learning from your videos! It would take me so much longer to learn these things by ear, it saves a lot of time when you got gigs on the calendar and tool songs to learn :) \m/
Love this song and it sounds hard, but when I picked up the guitar and saw this lesson I could´nt bealive that it was this easy to learn! Thank you!
Awesome breakdown!! I've been trying to pick out this song for so long, this really helps! Nicely done video sir!
I never realized how many different sections this song had, well done.
Axe of Creation has to be the best guitar tutorial on you tube, thanks for being precise!
Man your tone is awesome, best tool covers by far🤘🤘
@Allitnils Thanks a lot. Certain songs are more difficult to retain than others. This one has a lot of variation and parts so it took a little bit longer than usual.
perfect, as always! and once again, Thank You!
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.
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.
i love justinguitar !
Hey there are plenty of videos on amps and effects. Hopefully by now you've found them.
I think Vicarious is a GREAT song. It's very fun to listen to. The riff is very catchy. Yet, from your explanation, I realize there are many little detail that I don't realize it's there. And this is ONLY the guitar part. I don't know about bass and drum part. I bet it will be as complex as the guitar part. Thank you for this video lesson.
Amazing lesson. Everthing is explained :D great job man!!!
@Ikerus0 thanks a lot! I appreciate it. I'm glad my videos can help.
This guy is fucking straight up awesome. The way you break it down, and the clarity of your playing. I'm really impressed overall with the style/format and skill of your videos, by far the best out there on RUclips. Scoverstreet does good covers to incase someone calls me out >
Dude you are the boss! Loved your video! You're an incredible musician
Thank you so much. I finally got around to learning this one after Invincible...which is a monster of memorization.
@PeachesAndSkeet The coolest concept they implement in that song is the main riff and how the meter changes 9-8-7. The different polymeter and swing feel in the breakdown can be tricky if your unfamiliar with it. Thanks!
my new hero! thank you for all these videos
The intro is really frustrating at first but golly when you get it down it is the most fun riff in the WORLD! :D Thanks so much friend!
dude you sound is awesome don't stop making these video ,your a hell of a guitar instructor you are making a lot of these kids happy, you just have to read there post and you know , im not a kid im 54 year old i own a PRS guitar, but i love the tool sound!! , good luck guy and keep the videos coming! =)
It's comfortable. Sounds good. Well built. Had some minor intonation issues but never corrected them. Definitely worth the investment
@koker0 Great! I've received a lot of requests for The Pot so I will most likely add that. Thanks!
Just to send you a note of thanks all the way from Scotland - your lessons are excellent ;-)
thank you for all the tool videos bro love you
If Tool were to ever need a replacement guitarist, I'd be pretty stoked if they chose you. You're killer at guitar man, you taught and covered this song perfectly.
wow one of the best lessons i ve seen on youtube !!
You are a brilliant musician...thanks so much !! this vid has really helped me alot!!! :)
beautiful axe! really diggin the opal.
great tutorial for this tune dude!! helped out alot, thanks again!
Really good lesson. I was just checking things out for later. Gotta finish holy diver kill switch version. Got the solo today after a desperate search for a decent tab. Finally found a video of them playing it zoomed in. Anyone else have trouble on that last lick before the harmony? Timing really pushed my buttons. This is definitely on my learn list, should have done it a long time ago. Finally thought of some things to learn, I was starting to feel stale. Great lesson, definitely coming back later.
Dude, you are the freakin' MAN. This is how all guitar tutorials should be. Would love to see "The Grudge."
Excellent video, thanks! You really helped me out with the timing of the second part of the chorus, saying it's in 4/4 with the progression on the upbeat. Couldn't figure it out and thus couldn't 'feel' it. But now I do!
This song is so much fun to play. Great lesson. Thank you so much!
this song is a master peace i was hesitant to play it till i seen this video. great break down. now im jamming
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.
@77TOOLarmy Thanks man! No worries though. I'm glad I can help. It's definitely in the que of videos.
Great teacher man! Thank you, was struggling with a couple nuances.
Thanks for the lesson, Im just starting back playing, and its been a while lol. Im a few months shy of 40 and Ive half ass played since I was 12 but I never got great at it, maybe not even decent, but I got a great deal on a Washburn acoustic so im gonna keep watching your vids and try to get back in the swing of things.. Ive been a Tool fan since the 90s.. The drop D was something I never tried but I do like it,, Picking up on some chevelle, learned Highlands Apparition and man this old Washburn sounds good.. So acoustic Tool, here I come lol.. great vid, love it!! Im gonna fake it til I make it lol
If you get the chance could you please do a break down of Right In Two.. ?
And caught your Jambi lesson, workin on it lol
agreed with scot marq down there...great teaching man. Very easy to follow...very efficient teaching!! thanks man!!
great job man...very helpful lesson...im lovin the sound of that Agile too...been thinkin about gettin one!!
You are a total beast bro! You're the man with the Adam Jones shit. I appreciate the lessons dude!
@venom146 No problem. Thanks a lot!
your guitar playing is very accurate and chrisp there was so much in that song i didnt think about thanks for the tips this is the next one im working on
this lesson was awesome, i tried learning that intro everywhere but yours was the best
@juankashi Excellent! I'm glad it helped!
Fun song to learn, this helped me clear up a couple parts, thanks
@PowerOfTheChestnut Thank you. Anenema is in que. I love third eye but that track is epic!
@axeofcreation I agree, while they are accurate most of the time - there are some parts of certain songs i cant get the rhythm down on. Cheers for the videos man, they're amazing!
@trash266001 For this lesson I just used my 15w Line 6 practice amp, metal setting. Don't remember what I specifically tweaked the setting to. Most likely boosted the Bass/Treble then fine tuned the Mids.
Hey man great video, the only crazy time signature changes I'm used to are a few Floyd songs, so this was tough for me but you broke it down great. Thanks alot!
Hell Yeah!! Killer Lesson , thanks for taking the time!!!!
Subscribed instantly, thanks for this incredible lesson.
Thank you and welcome!
You're welcome
8 years later. Thank you!
DUDE YOU'RE AWESOME!! HELPED ME MORE THEN I YOU'LL EVER KNOW..THANKS!
Very nice! thanks man you 've been really helpfull!
You rock, dude. Thanks for these vids.
I just realized Adam Jones comprised these riffs from the same notes as Smoke on the Water lol
Bruh it is in many songs - heavy riff from schism
Also Jambi, Rosetta Stones, The Grudge.. all over their catalogue man
the ol tried and true 0 3 5
SLAYER
Also Pneuma
Thank you so much! I love this music! greetings from Brazil.
@atomiicx Absolutely! People can get so picky over the tiniest details. I don't think they realize, as you said, all the nuances and variations that go on.
This stuff is priceless, thank you.
@clmt71 It's on my site. Once you log in a link will appear in the video description.
Bloody epic video - I love it!
Thanks for the video, really cool lesson!!
