    To sound like Adam Jones from TOOL, it’s down to more than just the Gibson Silverburst Les Paul guitars, amps, and effects he uses. It’s more about the techniques, guitar habits, and riff construction, creating some incredibly hard-hitting yet catchy songs using some very interesting techniques and guitar tricks.
    That’s why today, Dinesh is delving into the world of TOOL guitarist Adam Jones’s guitar habits and techniques, highlighting how to get his signature sound by stepping into the mindset of this Grammy® award-winning guitarist, including everything from his Drop D tuning, his signature guitar techniques, and the ONE key thing that sets him apart from other guitarists out there.
    Watch as Dinesh runs us through the Adam Jones guitar styles and highlights five core guitar techniques he uses while playing in TOOL, including the signature drone and dissonance techniques as used on Aenima, the way Adam Jones bends his strings slowly to resolve on 10,000 Days, the slow pull-offs and the iconic pull-through technique that can be heard on Tool tracks like Invincible and Jambi, as well as the signature “Lift” technique that you’ll instantly recognize when Dinesh plays it.
    In addition, Dinesh will also show you what guitars Adam Jones plays, some of the effects you can use to get the Adam Jones sound, and what types of amplifiers you’ll want to dial in the Adam Jones guitar tone.

    • @jayl5941
      @jayl5941 2 месяца назад +15

      He’s comparing it to a $3,000 dual rec or a $4,500 Diezel so yes, comparitively it would be on a budget. You can buy a cheap helix unit and use modelers of these amps if you really want to be cheap, but of course the company that owns both Gibson and Mesa is going to recommend their stuff.

    • @marklnz
      @marklnz 2 месяца назад +9

      @@jayl5941 yeah I get that, but it shows how out of touch a company can be that they use the specific terminology "on a budget" to refer to a setup that totals up to over $3000. Call it the "smaller option" or talk about it from the point of view of lower wattage/lower volume, which he did mention. But don't try and imply that it's cheap at that price point. Disclaimer: 3k for a rig isn't a problem for me personally, and it's probably good value for that specific rig. But it's NOT a budget option.

    While you finally decided to make Epiphone models of Gibson designs with the "accurate" headstock, you should consider offering the Les Paul Custom with the two classic Sunburst options (Vintage Sunburst - my personal favourite - and Heritage Cherry - the classic Sunburst that most people normally associate with a Les Paul) Having a "proper" Vintage Sunburst Custom (with no pickguard like Adam Jones' customs) would be sweet

    • @danielbarza8600

      First of all, the 80s were awesome and the music industry is currently running on fumes. The 90s were awesome, the 70s were awesome and yes there is even great music from 2000-today. I’ve heard snippets of this guys music, and it doesn’t come close to touching my guitar heros like Page, Hendrix, Slash, Wylde, Van Halen, Hetfield, Mustaine, Perry, Rhoads, The Hawkins brothers,Jeff Martin…the list could go on for pages. That said, I haven’t heard a single Adam Jones song that moves me. That’s my right. It’s not that I’m uncool or need to do a google search. I’ve been into music for a long time. I play 5 instruments and have been going to concerts before you hit puberty. Also, a yellowed white custom beats the pants off that silver burst.
