Partial tab of my favourite Tool riff

[Jimmeny]

So, right at 7.04 in Rosetta Stoned, Danny and Justin drop this fucking ace riff that is perhaps my favourite riff they have ever done. I wanted to join in with them, and eventually I learned how to play it. But I was thinking, how the hell did they compose something like this, it seems so random that I couldnt fathom how it was possible to come up with that. So I started looking for a pattern. Without really studying it, I just tried clapping along, and spontaneously, I managed to found the underlying pattern. So I tabbed it out, for everyone to see. So here it is!

Nice work...this is indeed a great riff.

[Sanzen]

I play all the off notes on the A string. Good riff. I've tabbed out several portions of the song, but most of it still manages to foil me.
