ADAM JONES (MUSICIAN) STYLE OF PLAY
Adam Jones is known for not predominantly using one particular guitar playing technique, but rather for combining many techniques such as ‘the alternating use of power chords, scratching noise, playing arpeggios, out-of-time rhythm patterns and a silent minimalism’.
In Lateralus and 10,000 Days, he made heavy use of triplets. Other techniques used to expand his band’s sound repertoire require forms of instrumental experimentation and applications of non-instrumental experimentation as well, such as his use of an Epilady as a pick on Ænima and Lateralus albums for example; continuing in this direction in Tool’s song, ‘Jambi’, Jones uses a talk box. In the song ‘Third Eye’, he uses a guitar slide for the opening.
It has two synths listed below in its effects section. Live, Jones can be seen with a great pedal board full of effects, including a DOD FX-40B Equalizer (EQ) pedal, Boss BF-2 Flanger, Boss DD-3 Digital Delay, MXR Micro Amp, Dunlop BB535 and two Bosses Master switch / power pedals among a few others.
