i think he was just "talking" about a song called "those shoes" .. specifically by the eagles. not a track in the track listing.but who knows.
also i think the "my band" thing is either an inside joke to the band ... as it is agreed its the complete opposite amongst them .. or .. its actually totally true .. as adam does all the videos and production. who knows. cant make any conclusions till i have seen a scan or hold the mag in my hands.

God I love the anticipation... Its gonna make it that much better

after Looking at the little preview cover they have at the Guitar World website it looks like we will be getting the tab for 'Vicarious'.

someone quit being a bitch and scan it

i highly doubt there is anything to scan...

why do people think we'll believe anything they say without proof

we're christians

because we are all sheep

christmas

I have a subscription and I didn't get it yet. But I did get my Bass Guitar mag today :)

SpiralOutKeepGoing, I would love for that to be "Vicarious" I could play the guitar parts before I ever heard the song. I don't think they would do that though. That issue was fut together 3-4 months ago and I doubt they would send the single to GW for fear it would leak.

You can't play it without having heard the song with tab, unless you get notation too lol.

Its no secret that Tool doesn't enjoy interviews. I wouldn't doubt that Adam was fucking with the questions a little bit.

just because no-one has posted it,

(unless they have, because I'm too lazy to scroll back.)

Also, i tried to blow it up in Photoshop to read what the tabs were, but it's too low of quality.

Uh......yea you can LOL. They give you the rhythm with the tab and the beats per minute. Not saying it will sound exactly like the song since you don't have the vocals, drums or effects. But you HAVE the guitr and bass with rhythm notation.

What i put was word for word transcription of what was in the interview (there is a lot more, about influences, how adam is an emotional kind of guy and how his nephew joe's marching band played some tool songs. no april fools joke, no screwing with people, just letting people read something that isn't technically out yet (except for the people who subscribe to it). i put up what i found the most interesting, and i'm sure you'll get a scan or....BUY THE FUCKING THING... and read the rest of it.

I kind of figured it wouldn't be believed by some, but eh... that's how this place runs.

And about "those shoes". maybe it's an error and it's supposed to say [the (album name by the eagles) track], and Adam was complementing that song. It does kind of sound like he's talking about something he did though...

it's actually for schism.

I thought they did Schism already?

EDIT: According to their site I am correct in saying that they did Schism already. Issue#Guitar World 2001-11 Schism Tool http://www.guitarworld.com/tab_datab...e=&artist=tool

you sound like you have a lot of experience playing music. oh no wait...you're an iiidddiot.

"LOL I CAN TOO PLAY THE GUITAR WITH JUST THE TAB NEVER HAVING HEARD THE SONG"

No, you can't.

Wow! LOLLOL! You're actually retarded! And Yes, I am a music teacher. And I read music quite well.

And YOU CAN"T EVEN READ ENGLISH!!!!!! LOLLOLLOLLOLL Reread my posts.


Actually, I shouldn't laugh. I feel sorry for you.

You're a music teacher and you type/act like this? I pity your students.

And KJM - you're an idiot.

But that list has Aenima in two issues as well. Also they have some song called "lateral I s" tabbed out... wonder what that is?

doesn't mean they can't do it again, although it would of been nice if they did something else, like parabola...

the whole thing doesn't feel like it should be a cover; the only TOOL thing i've found in it is that interview with a set up to it, and a schism tab. but i guess adam isn't one to give walk-throughs on how to play ten seconds of five different songs...

I type and act like that if I'm dealing with idiots. Yes.

And no, I wouldn't talk like that to a student.

BTW, what do you do for a living?

your a music teacher? thats killer

Yea you could totally play the riffs, but they may/probably will be a little off because guitarworld tab/notation isnt ever 100% accurate. And i dont think the song is vicarious because the issue is offically released before the single is supposed to be. But who knows, maybe the single will be out this week :O

No you're not. You can not just play music by reading tab. Sorry not going to happen.

Putting little spaces between notes doesn't tell anything. You can barely read anything about the notes you're playing. You may be a music teacher (you're not but OK we'll pretend) but that doesn't mean you're a good music teacher.

Can I help you spoon?

I also thought the concept of a music teacher thinking a music degree (which is of course what you need to be a real music teacher) holds something in an arena of tabs where theory goes out the window.

Well, the first tabbed song is something by Tool. However, I can't quite make out the song name, it looks like it could be "Vicarious" though.

Huh? I'm guessing you don't play guitar.

Guitar World's tabs do not look like some internet posting, like..

It's the same as a music sheet, but with tab for guitar players, you have the notation and eveything... maybe even better than straight music, because they often have effects etc listed, too. Sure you couldn't get the feel of it w/o the song.

You should be fired. You cannot tell how a song should be played from just tabs. Alright, show me how your supposed to write note lengths and speeds in tabs. How do you show quarter notes? Eigths? Sixteenths? Yeah, don't act all high and mighty, you stupid asshole.

Do you even know how to read sheet music? Tabs do not tell you even some of the most fundamental aspects of how a song is played.

ok seriously, do you people even play guitar? go to your local magazine store and pick up a guitar mag, look at what a tab looks like before returning to this thread.

Here's an example of a haff-way decent tab. It's the same as sheet music, with the tab for guitar players...

(OMG it's got like NOTATION, NO WAYZ)

http://www.hostmypic.info/uploads/7452d665c5.jpg

You can say whatever you want. You can NOT use tab to sit down and play a song you've never heard.

There's a reason you'll never go to a recital and see a page of tab pulled out. "My guitar magazine has tablature and it is therefor totally legitimate". What kind of argument is that?

You either don't, can't, or never have read real music before--or you don't get what's being said.

You actually don't know what the fuck you're talking about at all. Magazines like Guitar World put out the guitar tabs accompanied with the actual musical notes written out a la the piano or any other instrument. You see the actual notes being played, the time signature, the length of the note (quarter, eigth, etc.), the scale, the tempo...pretty much everything. If you know your shit, you can play any song without having heard it before. Not hard. Quit continuing to defend an argument that is actually false.

either scan it or you are full of shit.

Right they give you the music. What an idiot. If I weren't so lazy, I would make a riff and some chord progressions and tab them for you to record. And hilarity would ensue over how poorly you played them compared to how they were actually written to be played.

I really hate to submit to this battle of wits......but unfortunately the GUITAR SAVEY MUSICIANS are right..........

The classic struggle between rock guitarists and 'real musicians" eh?

:D

This thread is awesome!

BTW, nobody said playing the tab without hearing the song would make it sound like Adam Jones or a carbon copy of the recording. I actually touched on that earlier in this thread BEFORE all this stupid bickering started.

You CAN get darn close to it though.

There is no "battle of wits." There is no "wit" involved in arguing for a factually false argument like KJM is. It's stupid.

If you handed me the sheet music & tabs to vicarious, I could play the whole guitar part the song in under half an hour and have a pretty damn good idea of what the tune sounds like musically. Fact.

Guitar World does not use the same tab notation that everyone else uses. They post tab that has rhythm information intact. The rhythm information in Guitar World is noted almost exactly like sheet music, but there is a number on the note being played and the lines represent the strings (like in regular tab) rather than the lines representing a point of reference in a given point in the musical range (ie- treble clef or bass clef). It is not the same as regular tab. Thus with this, you could get a decent sounding version of the thing running before hearing it. Provided you don't suck at guitar.

Provided you can read rhythm notation as well.

Show me a one that doesn't?
