- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- 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 Jambi. Done and done was the answer, we love TooL here at Axe and hope you enjoy this lesson. Technically speaking Jambi is no harder than any other Adam Jones composition BUT rhythmically it is much more complicated. Especially the Polyrhythm section after the solo. 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!

I learned only two things from this video. 1) guitars were not made to fly across rooms and 2) I have wrists like an old lady
Hey, axeofcreation, just wanted to say thanks for all the time and effort you put into your tutorials and lessons. I realize how much is involved in each video lesson and, personally, I am grateful for people such as you that just want to share their knowledge/experience with others. You are appreciated. I don't care what the haters say. lol
yea i agree hey i have spent so much time watching these vids aye. thanks!
1st lick is wrong. No triple chug. He uses a pull through technique. Check ben ellers vid. He shows the lick in detail.
Never realized how djenty the opening riff is. You can tell Jones like Meshuggah
Francis Ducharme they said that Meshuggah was an influence on the album 10.000 days
@@danieldemetrio6474 can confirm
@Yellow73mm I use Ernie Ball strings. The pickups are stock in the Agile (I couldn't tell you what they are specifically) and the Schecter has DiMarzio, X2N (bridge) and PAF7.
I'm a bassist myself, and I could never figure out the moving chug breakdown prior to the solo before this video. So thanks for that. Also you are an excellent teacher.
My dogs name is Jambi 😊
the triplet works best if you pull off the D string and land your finger on the a string also pulling off but not playing it. So pull off D and A string when doing the triplets
That's how I play it. I picked it up video for clarity.
Thanks for the video I was able to learn it 😀😀😀
+Mikey Medina I was lost until this comment. Thanks.
Stephen Peek anyone can play nirvana
Stephen Peek as anyone can play tool as well
Solo starts at 8:20 if you want that
Exactly why I came
@atomiicx Awesome! Thanks for the excellent feedback!
I have been playing and practicing this riff incorrectly for like the last 5 years xD. I was doing 4p3 0 6p5 0 etc etc for the opening. I was about to start singing the notes, so I could ingrain it in my head better before I came to this. Thanks. I had no idea this riff was this genius, the main riff, I mean, the one that starts the crowd up. One of the best metal riffs of all time, I think. Thanks again.
Very thorough video. I couldn't get my head around how he was doing the triplets - I thought I just physically couldn't move my hand fast enough but I can do it now. Subbed.
Hadrian Hughes Thank you and welcome!
Thank you for posting all your Tool videos. It took me a week alone to get that opening riff(Jambi). Your Vicarious lesson is about the best teaching video i've watched. The captions really help. Keep it up. Adam Jones rules!!
@edge9in Thanks! Glad the video helped out.
Adam’s pull through is actually easier to do than this technique because all you’re doing is literally “pulling through” the fret and hitting all the notes. It’s also good for strengthening the skin of your first finger
Playing Invincible = concrete callous on index
Jones slurs everything. I mix both. Play however and whatever feels not only comfortable but sounds good to your ears
@Ponskippa awesome!! Thanks a lot.
Thx from Catania, Sicily...
I believe it does. It really emphasizes the speed of the song and rounds out the explanation of the different parts
Try this-Insane Mode- Drive 12(o'clock)- Bass 11- Mid12- Treble 1- Ch. Vol 3. Hope that helps. You'll probably have to alter it slightly depending on the tone of your guitar.
Your.. Póster... Its fucking awesome
@DJ330k That's probably the next one I'm going to do. A lot of people have asked for it plus it's really fun to play!
@09mcmahon I can totally understand that. That was my main concern with playing along. Though I felt with Jambi it was necessary since there are so many changing patterns and chugs
thank you DERS for teaching me one of the greatest songs known t man kind!!!
@77TOOLarmy haha, thanks man! I've had a couple inquiries about Jimmy so I might do that one. Both Jimmy and Pushit are a couple of my fav all time Tool tracks.
Thanks for the helpful advise Ryan I appreciate it!
amazing/ simply amazing guitar teacher you are axe
@CaptainGalacticMusic Much appreciated!
That pull off lick is badass! I was playing it all wrong. This is the first time I saw/heard about that type of pull off method. now I hear it in other tool songs as well. Thanks for that!!
dude!!! thanks for the lesson, this is a really great riff.
@Toolminion1 It's your basic "scooped" EQ setting. Boost the Mids a little more than usual.
Very cool! Thanks for letting me know! Your words inspire me.
Great fucking tone man, great job on the lesson
Will you teach us rosetta stoned ?
You make great tutorials man. Just started a tool cover band and your videos are helping so much with all the subtleties in their songs. Thanks dude!
@IllusionaryMind8 I've seen people play it that way. For me personally I like pulling off (on the low string) and upstroking the A string. Bottom line is whichever is most comfortable for you and more importantly which ever way allows you to express the riff in the best sounding way.
@metalmanky306 Thank you so much! I hope you find the other videos just as helpful.
@steveo2440 In that guitar, the pickups are stock. Effects wise I don't use much. Hint of chorus/reverb/delay. Especially on the rhythm presets. When I kick in the lead sounds those effects are much more present.
but this lesson is still awesome and the only video that correctly taught me how to play jambi so thank you very much!!!!
@eccoboy I've seen people play a dead note instead of an open A but I like the way the open A sounds. Really resembles a (drum) triplet tom roll. I hear it when I play. Lines up right with a tom hit. Unless thats what I'm hearing. Either way I dig it. Theres always another way to play everything!
Just using my Peavey Head. I usually keep effects to a minimum besides lead tones which usually include delay and reverb. Maybe a touch of chorus and/or wah pedal
I was struggling with this song for a while but with this lesson so much easier...thanks!!
excellent lesson....will definitely be watching more of your videos
The rhytm of this song kills me but your video helped a lot. Thanks, man!
@bebeard17 Understandable. It's quick and muted. Try just pulling off to it with a good mute. You might prefer that way.
@axeofcreation Yeah I wrote that comment just before you explained that there's the triplet on the less palm-muted part right after the one I meant and it started to make sense again.
You encourage me to PRACTICE guitar, didn't do that in years. Thanks
@TheDobligator downpick the pull off then upstroke the A string. Once the rhythm gets tight you can slur the entire thing.
do a lesson for wings parts 1 and 2
@AcidSh33tz You have good taste! Thank man!
It depends. The songs you mentioned are all difficult for various reasons. Length or variation play a big part. Rosetta can be hard because certain sections are quick or the the solo is tough to count (feel) against the drums.
@Bassmastasnake33 As I've said, Jones plays it by rolling is hand through the pull off as you said BUT I like the way attacking the A string sounds. Play however you see fit!
Until you learn how to play the song, it really doesn't matter what amp or pedal he is using. That "awesome tone" you hear is him knowing what the hell he is doing with his fingers. Stop worrying about what gear he is using. Worry about learning how to play guitar, and you will sound good. Practice enough, and you. An make a shitty solid state amp and a $50 distortion pedal sound like James Hetfield. But if you suck, you can play on Hetfield's rig and it will sound like a crappy guitar player making noise
amen
Manly and Loving It On fucking point.
Manly and Loving It give this man a medal
@tsyrlb Thanks for adding in and I'm glad you dig my videos. No disrespect but just saying its wrong doesn't clarify anything. If you feel it's wrong, then enlighten everyone with what specifically is wrong. Saying something "sounds wrong" is a waste of breathe.
Really good lesson, helped a lot more than the tab. Thanks!
lovin the Agile
You sir are a legend!
The Peavey was an Amp Modeler, which is what I meant. I was using the Diezel Amp Model.
@petecarvalho I don't have one. I thought I mentioned that in the video...
You can vaguely imitate one with an envelope filter and auto wah.
thank you man i always needed help learning this song
@Buckhummerable Sometimes. I'll either use a Wah or add on a Auto-Wah effect. I do this because I don't own a talk box.
this is one of the best Tool song.....idk if this is the exact right way to do the intro, but anyway, i liked this tutorial...
If it's muddy lower your bass. Make sure you didn't miss understand me. The bass should be around the 12 0'clock position not maxed out or turned up to 12. Same with the others
@sahilius usually about a day, depending on song.
@blindwolf343 Thank you good sir!! That part is definitely tricky but once you can hear the pattern you can pick it up pretty quickly.
Im thinking of getting this same Agile in silverburst. It sounds really good in this video.
@cheaptrades @lukitzar Sorry to disappoint you guys but try and listen a little more carefully. He's definitely not playing the intro with 3 notes. It absolutely is the pull-off motif Jones uses all the time. Watch him play it live.
Thank you very much, this was a HUGE help- took me a while to get used to the intro, but turns out I had been doing it wrong for months anyway. Very nice job!
thanks alot,very hard song ,but you broke it down really well.
simply great... a great song and a great breakdown...
AxeofCreation, Thank you again for another great video. You, as always, did an awesome job breaking it down. Thanx for the help bro
@Mr0Christian0 I was using a Peavey Vypyr head at the time. I no longer have that head.
Also, have good skills. Good playing. Just remember it's "shine on through the center" not severed as most people think. GJ!
this is, without doubt, the most comprehensive, helpful youtube lesson i've seen. thank a lot! and keep it up!
@BishopMuzoreva It's an Agile guitar, though Im not quite sure of which model.
@ajerrod Thanks so much!
@Toolminion1 It's means your boosting your Bass (lows) and Treble (highs) and reducing your Mids, thus creating a scooped sound (try and picture an inverse Bell curve). Every amp is different so the level of each will always be slightly different. This is a great starting point. What's your setup?
if you watch Adam play it he's strumming down with his left hand on the neck in the first riff. drop d. once you try it it sounds impossibly fast but is quite easy. oh keeping his fingers pressed on frett board. don't forget to mute with palm by bridge.
@Caitanyadasa108 Definitely! Thanks a lot!
Adam Jones is a rhythmic monster. Nice breakdown!
i guess others might have mentioned this but the a-string is not touched during the intro riffs. Its all bottom d-string, and you need to have the right technique to pull it off. It sort of consists of a pull-off with your left hand inbetween alternate 16th picks with your right hand, and then it will sound correct ;).
Adams technique with strumming with index finger on neck pretty original. had to watch very carefully till I picked it up
Depends on your practice. When I started it took about 6 months to be able to get through metallica, nirvana and slayer song...or a least hack my way through them. For me it took longer to find my "voice". Learn the riffs you love. Understand how to re-create them and you'll be able to make them into your own.
@legon85 thank you
bro you just fucking killed it!!!!
I believe I used the Peavey Vypyr 120 (and Diezel amp mod)...though I no longer use this amp...
@TrippyTro See comments below. Personally I like the sound of attacking the 5th string. Try this...play the first two intro passes with the dead note then open up the 5th string when the drums kick in. Play what you think sound best.
How on earth did i end back on this drivel. Im gonna learn guitar and play it right. Be back in august.
Bro it's august and tool is getting out another album. Come witness this shit !
Good job, even though I think no-one can sound like Adam Jones, except...Adam Jones.
O I see! My setup is a B-52 AT-100 all tube head thru a standard half stack marshall cab and my stompbox is a metal zone.
Hey im not a guitarist, im just a drummer but i´ve seen all your video lessons related with Tool and Adam Jones.
Nice work, and amazing sound! Congrats!
@JackCarver10 It's actually later in the song where the 2 has the triplet on it but seriously, it makes no difference lol. If you feel it there or he feels it there then kill it! There is so much (slight) variation on all his riffs.
@OutsideTheWall94 When 10k days dropped and first began to learn that's what I thought he was doing as well. Try it with the pull offs (3-0) and see how it sounds.
@JosephMCorbett Thanks. Well stay tuned, more goodness on the way!
this guy is awesome
@axeofcreation awe, i didnt see the video for the lesson, just the cover, but sorry, that covers it!!
the cover is brilliant by the way!!
Awesome. U should do a guitar collection video
you are Perfect guitarist!!!
@jomarqua Thank you very much!
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT POSTER? BEAUTIFUL.
Probably from the Alex grey online store. That man is one amazing visionary artist
OK. That really rocked. Still lost because I am not to that speed yet. But I am retired so I have all the time (sic) in the world
