GET MY "TOOL" BASS TONE PRESET:   / lowenduniversity  

➡ Find me another band that can COMPLETELY transform you into their world in minutes better than ‪@TOOLmusic‬ can. I'll wait. "The Pot" from Tool's 2006 album "10,000 Days" is a perfect commercial rock song, but is also the complete anthesis of a commercial rock song at the same time. This band balances the art of obscurity and avantgarde composition styles while delivering it in such a way that immediately grabs anybody who listens. In this video, I listen to the studio version of "The Pot" and dig deep under the surface to figure out why it has the effect it has on listeners, tips on playing the iconic bass intro, Tool's unique composition style, how they fluidly code switch between each instrument, tips on dialing in Justin's magnificent tone, and much more. This song has INSANE replay value, and never gets old to me...
