IMO the best Tool Guitar Riff

[eapatty01]

It's my favorite at least. The first thing that stuck out when I heard this song was the guitar during the chorus. It really makes the song.

[Tape_Dispenser]

The solo is beautiful.

[Zarathustra]

Best solo adam's done in my opinion.

[Arkham Asylum]

Yeah, the guitar during the chorus definitely hooked me (not to mention it's a great song all around).

I used to listen to the guitar part at 4:57 (solo, I guess) over and over and over...

[Arkham Asylum]

What would be the best way to describe the guitar during the chorus? Maybe "zig-zag" with the up and down kinda tone to it?

Me too. Glad I'm not alone here. It's real easy and fun to play, as well.

its actually the first time i said to myself, "shit, theres a solo in this song! theres a guitar solo in a tool song!"

[mr. nikki jensen]

4 degrees is by far my favourite track on undertow

Yeah, most of Adam's solos are very distorted and almost don't sound like guitar solos. This one and the solo(s) in "Parabola" are both easy to learn and fun to play, as well as melodic and fun to listen to.

indeed
thats why i didnt quite understand it when 10k came out and everyone was like adam jones is actually playing guitar solos on this cd.
a lot of my friends raved about the jambi solo and i was like what about 4 degrees.
although the solo at the climax of third eye is my favorite, alone with his extended solo in triad, adam's always had some pretty neat little guitar solos up his sleeve.

Extremely talented and underrated guitarist, especially for his time. He's got to be one of the ten greatest from the 90s-00s era IMO.

And hes an FX wizard that did work for Jurrasic Park, Ghostbusters and a few Nightmare on Elm Street Movies!!!

Pure god-given talent that man has.

True...

His guitar style is very unorthadox, kinda like Tom Morello and Larry Lalonde...

[2and46]

Iconoclastic.

Love the song.

Under-rated.

[TEST]

Very progish for it's time...nice
