How To Solo Like Adam Jones

Incredible video as always. Lucky to have you around to help teach Jones's methods.

Way to go !!

Love all the theory tie-ins and explainers!

What gauge (and brand) of strings do you usually use to play Drop D?

I've been playing forever and somehow missed what unison bends were lol. Always wondered how that sound came to be 😅 Thanks much! Always on the lookout for new legato patterns too

Okay, but that guitar tone is majestic, like wow. Sounds like it's echoing through hills of gold marble.

Thanks for the mini lesson on unison bends. Those are neat!

What strings do you use?

Definitely don't think Jones gets enough credit for his playing because he's not a "shreader" bit neither is David Gilmore who has some of the most beautiful bending in rock music. Like you say Greg, the tension in TOOLS music is the beauty and much of it is in Jones fingers.

I love you for this, man. Thank you.

Your tone sounds really good in this vid, new gear? Amp, mic, pedals? Seriously it sounds so much more full than it typically does. Awesome vid!

Does Adam put his wah before, or after, his dirt pedals?

Adam Jones is so fuckin' good

Thank you man!!! I always love these vids

Very nice, Greg! Hey, are you playing in any bands again around San Diego? Cheers.

This is really good content right here. Thanks bro, GREAT stuff :)

That tone is absurdly perfect. What are your settings here?

His playing is very atmospheric and recognizable. Great video

Was not aware of any solos.....but you left something on your chin😂

Hey man great videos. Can you do something that shows what you mean when when you talk about outlining chords? Like some ideas around structures and rhythms would be awesome

멋지십니다~!! thanksdocthanksdocthanksdoc

Great job, as usual. Thanks for all you do, your the best!

You’ve just opened up a new world to so many people. Thank you

Awesome video man, you're like the Tool master

Good job bro. Adams solos are fantastic. Best metal solos and so recognizable

Great job, I can relate to your style of teaching. I know you’re trying to fit in as much information as possible in a short period of time.

I'm just a noodler but like Jones stuff and yours, but for a simpleton like myself, i do not have or will not buy anymore pedals than the ones i have. Reverb, Delay, Chorus, and a Rev G3. How can i dial in Jones's tone and yours for that matter as best i can. Suggestions appreciated.

The more i watch this man work on tool specially adam jones every detail work he does in song, it just grow my respect for him. ❤️

Very cool and helpfull!

man thats what ive always said, adam doesnt play these huge scales. hes really genius using like 5 notes. he gets like 3 completely different sounds from those notes

My favorite phrase someone described adam jones:
"Adam is a rhythm guitarist playing lead guitar"
Which in my mind makes sense and is awsome

yuck too much reverb

My god man that tone is fuckin nasty, when you held that last note in vicarious I had to rewind like 6 times. 🤘🏻

great videos man, I honestly appreciate you so much. Also, that guitar...custom?

Also, you use Nolly to get your TOOL tones?

Running those 4ths power chords up the octave is essentially the verse from No Quarter.

The type of soloing that Adam does makes up for a WAY better live sound. Nothing sounds mushed together or rushed and you can clearly hear every note. I’ve been to tons of shows and tool hands down has the best live sound. I’ve taken many friends to shows and they say the big difference is when seeing tool even if you don’t know the song, it’s still very cool and amazing to watch. Whereas you can’t say that when watching some bands. For instance when seeing someone like korn or lamb of god live, if you don’t know the song they’re playing it’s hard to enjoy and pickup on what’s going on.

Awesome lessons 🤘

Dang, those abalone inlays are gorgeous.

Hello guys, I wanted to ask if someone can tell me the best way to set my amp for this sound. which effects are used here

great stuff, glad I found you

What model of Kiesel guitar is he playing? It’s beautiful. Anyone know?

Great lesson🤘🏻😎

Adam Jones style and melodic structure is amazing. And your playing and teaching is very helpful and amazing as well!

Really😂😂

This is the most important video on the internet.
A similar lesson on Justin would be a god send, dude!

I picked up a 79' Silverburst back in October... I love that guitar and see why Adam adores them.

Who's Kurt Hammett?

Man! I wish you were still making videos. Like your lessons
