    But, I'm loving knowing how to play these songs (properly-thanks to you) for the first time ever.

  • @axeofcreation
    @axeofcreation  11 лет назад +3

    6/8 has a different 'feel'. It's a compound meter, so it has two accented beats (1 and 4). Think two beats divided by 3. It sways, 123 456. 6/4 is more of a straight feel.

  • @axeofcreation
    @axeofcreation  11 лет назад +9

    It's cool. If you like to play the 6th fret and make it sound good then awesome. I know we're bending the note (5th fret) so theoretically you could start on 6. Personally I don't like that sound. The dissonance you mention comes from bending the 5th fret into that sound, as least when I play it. Be careful, there are a lot of Tool fanboys who will crucify you because Jones plays it from the 5th fret. But not me, more power to you.

    @Greg-ik3mf 6 лет назад +1

    Great vid! I haven't read all of the comments - please pardon me if this has been mentioned - but at 21:10 when you go through (my favorite) bit, it comes back from the 12th fret to 6-6-9-6-7, I don't think that's correct. I've never played this song on the guitar personally, but it sounds like he's actually playing the 9th fret note on the higher string below in a chord; the same (and especially) when you do it the the fourth time on the lower strings. I can definitely hear the sustain of a chord and not moving between frets on the same string. I just thought that I'd mention it because it was the reason I looked for this video. Anyway, thanks! Great work!

    I really like the way you teach AJ’s parts and technique. You routinely say “however you see fit,” which is really about feel, which is really key to how he plays. Getting dogmatic about most of Tool’s music will ruin the feel and effect. Pushit breathes. Thank you for doing this-really enjoyed it.

You can literally feel Adam's guitar playing slap you in the face. And I love the anger in the song. I don't think you've done a lesson on it yet? Just some food for thought. You've got the best Tool lessons on RUclips, by far. Props.

    I'm gonna get it? Itd be much easier for me to play an electric instead of an acoustic.. But
    The extra effort i have to put into learning on the acoustic,, will help me in the end.. the hard part for me is the 5th fret 2nrd fret stretch.. my fingers are too short.
    I'm getting it tho
    Thanks for the help buddy.

    Appreciate you going through these songs. I don't have the patience to show people how to play anything. I mean after taking the time figuring songs out I declare victory and hate the song for at least 6 months or more. LOL
    The most satisfying song I ever figured out was Under The Bridge by the RHCP and it took me a lot of rewinding the cassette tape to get down and when I did I celebrated like a MMA fighter; which scared the shit out of my toddler niece.
    RUclips would have saved me a ton of time, but I still like to frustrate myself from time to time by listening to a song over and over again.

    VGS guitar, never heard of it but it sounds good. What is the black band thing around the nut/first fret, a capo or something??? What happened to the Agile? You mentioned in the lesson listening to the song with headphones, I'm searching for a good set of headphones for my amp. Can you recommend any that are particularly good for maintaining a clean tone when plugged into an amp at high volume with heavily distorted guitar? All the ones I test out either buzz alot or give alot of feedback. Cheers dude, and another top notch TOOL lesson.

    • @avedic
      @avedic 6 лет назад

      Not sure which riff/section you're talking about....but are you referring to the breakdown part, after the 2nd chorus, where the guitar plays the main intro riff(with that 10/9 pull-off) while the bass underneath is going A - Ab - F - G? Or are you referring to the quiet/subtle breakdown/bridge where both the guitar and bass (and samples) play all sorts of interesting ideas? Either way...your comment gives credit to how brilliant this song really is. Think about it...while this video is fucking killer...it has nothing to do with the bass, or drums, or vocals, or samples/sound effects, or the production or mixing or mastering....or the actual _performance_ itself...or the timbre and tonality of every part of every instrument...or the arrangement...or the goddamn songwriting itself that even lead to the creation of this piece of music. And it's just one song...on one album.
      It's yet another reason why, despite having a pretty eclectic and diverse musical interest...I always gravitate to Tool, not for any one reason...but because every fucking aspect of what they do...is perfect. The 4(and 5 counting Paul) of them, plus their partners in recording, somehow are able to create sonic and creative masterpieces. It's a beautiful thing to be privileged to hear. Tool really help remind me of why music is so fascinating. I love music theory...and learn all that I can...but, at the end of the day, the ONLY thing that matters is _how it sounds to human ears/minds._ All the stuff that leads up to that is fascinating...but what's especially interesting and utterly mysterious is the creative act itself...making something utterly novel. Tool excel at that...and it's why I've spent hundreds of hours pondering how they created what they did....in order to learn and apply it to my own work.
      Anyway...I just realized my comment is absurdly long and rambling. I admit, I finally acquired some very nice greenery after being out for some time...and I'm definitely "in the zone." So...over and out, gonna go play some guitar for a good 2 hours. Good night fellow humans. Shit, I am high. o_O
