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!

  • Whoa I play that quite differently, such that all of the triplets are pull-offs on the D string. For instance, the commonly used F triplet would go F-E-D or 3p2p0. When you play your way it sounds really good but I can't get it to sound right. Any suggestions?

  • @TheDobligator downpick the pull off then upstroke the A string. Once the rhythm gets tight you can slur the entire thing.

  • I'm sure Adam uses the roll technique where the A string is rolled over to emit the note.

  • @KangarooBeStoned ok...and that means what? Again, if you like the muted note then awesome. I prefer the muted open string. Really emphasizes the "roll" sound. Play what sounds and feels best to you not how Jones or anyone else plays it. It's so minute in the grand scheme of things. Not like your changing the harmony

  • this answered a bunch of questions. it's crazy how picky people can get on this video though

  • @luvisacigarette8 Never ceased to be amazed. Thanks!!

see all
