Adam Jones Tool Guitar Techniques
Dinesh Lekhraj, the talented guitarist and presenter on the channel, doesn’t just interview artists – he puts on inspiring gear demos and writes original music to illustrate various tones. His experience playing in LA bands shines through. Now, he’s taken on the role of guitar teacher, delivering the best video guide to Jones’s guitar style.
Mesa/Boogie
The video contains insider knowledge about Adam Jones Tool guitar techniques only an experienced player could provide. You’ll learn how to nail Jones’s signature palm-muted triplets—a core element of the Tool sound.
Dinesh has Jones’s signature guitar and a Mesa/Boogie amp ready, but he emphasizes that the technique is key. Even with a humbucker guitar and high gain, you’ll start to sound like Jones.
The Lift
The video also delves into other Jones staples: drone notes, dissonant chords, odd time signatures, and the essential technique called “The Lift.” Dinesh has done his research, and the original music he plays to demonstrate these elements is fantastic.
