Tool Forty Six & 2 Guitar Lesson 

Its amazing how tool can take one riff and play it a hundred different ways and make such a good song

Never heard of this band.. I'll have to check them out.

I'm a beginner and learned 46 & 2 because of this video lesson in about 3-4 hours. I definitely need to keep practicing to make it a lot smoother, but it sounds decent or at least my wife and kids didn't laugh hysterically at me like some other tunes I've worked on. Thanks for the lesson!

You're amazing, bro. Not only do you give a tutorial on how to execute songs by one of the most unique bands at all time, said songs are known pantydropping machines. Axe, you are the wingman gotham deserves!

My steering wheel HATES the outro to this song lol

Thanks! You don't have to play it like Jones. However you can express the music is the most important. As long as the notes are the correct pitch!

this was an amazing lesson. i love how you breakdown the little intricacies for extra flavor. you are quick where you need to be, and slower at the perfect time. awesome tutorial, subbed.

There’s something terribly satisfying, even cathartic, that comes as a result of seeing/hearing the soundtrack of my youth dissected in a scholastic manner. Truly, thank you from a longtime, die-hard Tool fan and bass player. Keep up the amazing content. +1 sub. Good on ya, dude.

I've been playing for 5 years and always come back to this video to remind me how important tone is , thanks man

Thanks so much for the lessons. These are by far some of the best on RU-vid.

great lesson man! super detailed, easily understood, I like how you call out strings and fret location -- thank you so much.

Dude, absolutely top notch content as always. Your lessons are outstanding. Thank you.

Hey man, great job. Best instruction I've come across so far. This one saved me so much time to get this song down.

Your playing is very smooth, and you have the tone nailed... this coming from a drummer, great lesson!

Thank you ! You're videos are pushing me to practice guitar more and more. You're awesome :)

Hey man. Just wanted to thank you for the Tool guitar lessons. I just picked up guitar after about an 18 year hiatus and I was always better at learning seeing someone play. Now my buddies are long gone but at least RU-vid can give someone like me a little face to face time thanks to you. You are a natural player and teacher. Keep up the awesome work bro! Thanks again.

Oh men, I love your Videos so much! Thank you for all the Tool Videos. Thank you so much!

Honestly man.... This series of lessons has totally diverted my musical journey. Thanks.

Thanks for your hard work and posts. I appreciate them.

i just started watching these videos, this weekend. I find it very interesting, to break down a song to it bits and pieces. I don't play guitar(i sing while i drive truck) but still i love it. thanks sir.

I found your channel only recently and am now subscribed. Thank you for doing what you do! The tutorials are incredible!

thanks Axe for all your Tool lesson videos. Started playing guitar a few months ago (last time I played as a kid) and your lessons really kept me motivated. this was the first song by tool that i learned (not perfectly of course). Videos really help because of timing and technique. And it is very hard to find good tabs for tool and you tabs are the best I have seen. (btw. on some tabs like 46 and two and Pot - there are places where you forgot to add number of repeats on some lines). keep up the good work and thanks for all your effort, youre a great teacher and I really enjoy watching you perform. Greetings from Croatia.

i love how you don't say play this a certain way or its wrong, but instead you say to play it how you feel you play it best.. that's awesome man. Great tutorial by the way

Nicely done. Appreciate the post. So much talent on RU-vid it's just crazy.

Thanx man. This is the third Tool song I'm learning from you and and so far your advice and teaching is right on! Tool's songs are relatively simple but playing them properly with the right rhythm and precision is the hard part.

You are the best at giving lessons on tool songs, this video may be one of the older ones, but adam jones plays it quite differently.

At last ! I've been waiting for this one for so long ! Thanks !

I'm so excited you did this one! Thanks!

thanks man, that was great. Had a lot of fun learning this song

Finally these are back! and with reassurance that all Tool songs will be done!

Sir! you are one of a kind youtuber. Really wish there were more people like you :). Keep the awesome Tool lessons coming.

Yay, another Tool guitar lesson! You are the only one that can teach Tool correctly. Thanks!

I have literally only left 2 or 3 comments in my life on YT. I also have only subbed one or 2 people. Your lesson was amazing, your playing and tone was amazing. And I thank you, that was great.

this is my favorite guitar channel and its my go-to channel for all things Drop D

Best tool lessons ever love ur instructions

Sir, I've played classical for many years and have only recently attempted to use a pick. Your breakdowns and explanations are wonderfully elegant. Thank you for some excellent lessons!

Thanks for this video and all the resources on your site. Best video guitar lessons I've found.

Thanks for the lesson dude! Helped me re learn this track after years and years! I’ve uploaded my guitar cover! I kinda play it my own way but you really helped with the cross rhythm section!

Great delivery of a tutorial

youre doing gods work bud thank you

great tutorial. deff coming back to learn more songs

gr8 video, easy to listen to and follow along. you know your stuff!

Awesome lesson. Just found your channel and I am very impressed. Again, just another beginner, thanks for the time you put in putting these videos together.

awesome, I'll keep an eye out :) Thanks a lot for the really helpful lessons. Few youtubers seem to get this close to the attitude and philosophy of Tool - like you said, doesn't matter where you play the notes, what matters is the music itself.

Thanks so much for your kind words.

Favorite song by Justin, Danny, Adam, and Maynard. TY so much for doing this Greg!

Great lesson dude! Thank you

@DipSet2cR thank you. I appreciate that. glad you like my lessons

Thank you so much, very helpfull video, i might be able to play this wonderful song now ;)

Bravo! Another fantastic lesson! Thanks so much!

Thank you for your Amazingly awesome lessons and your hard work.

I like to alter the main riff a lot by playing 17 \16 and 13\12 as the last four notes. Love the phrygian sound of that.

I got to say, your tutorials always have a very nice way of saying "you don't have to do it like me - but basically, this is the stuff: " a very pleasant way of being taught a song like this :)

Great lesson, it’s like a mate just showing you how to play a song, brilliant, subscribed ;)

Wow, been playing for 34 years and I have to say you're a great teacher as well as a great player! Thanks for Tool stuff! I was playing most of it right, mostly... Lol.

You're videos are great

Thanks man! You're a great teacher!

Great lesson. Still. One of the most fun to play from Tool, very active.

Thank you for the lesson. I've been wanting to lean this song for a while.

This one's gonna be tough to learn but I'll take a stab at it. Once again, for Tool lessons, YOU are the man!!

awesome lesson! thank you

Killer tone. Thanks for the lesson. Adam Jones probably has the best guitar tone I've heard.

very nicely done, sounded bang on! thanks!

You can really jam! thanks for teaching us!!

Great lesson! I like the "offset" stabs second time around too. I think of it as beat displacement.

Yes. In person or via the web. Info is on my site. Thanks

Right on! Best of luck!

It's a fretwrap. It diminishes excess string noise. It's great for recording and live.

Classic! ThanQ brotha🤘

Great lesson! I wish someone was here to do the drums.

Actually I hit "like" before starting the video. :) And I wasn't disappointed, man! Great lesson - as always! ^^

great tutorial, thanks a bunch man

No. I have one quick video of a solo from my last project (check uploads Prog Solo) and some play through demonstrations (including this song) on my website, the link is in the description. Hopefully I'll be uploading some live performances very soon!

Awesome !! Thank you .

Thanks man!

Awesome! Thanx. Ur a legend.

I'm a half ass acoustic player...and I learn so much from ur vids! your an excellent teacher. If possible give us a few APC lessons,

thank you! You are great!

ACE.... great channel,,, great vids,,,,,

Thank you for this awesome lesson !! I'm learning it and I'll probably do a cover :p

I always count the staccato ending part as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (x3) and then 1,2,3. The only part that gets me the part you talked about with the bass doing something over top. I can't keep the count in my head.

superb man, ive got the rocksmith 2014 version which is lower down the neck but i prefer this way

It's a Fretwrap by Gruv Gear. There are a lot of different options you can go with. I like theirs because it's multifunctional....as for the play through, check the response below. Thanks!

Thanks for breaking it down!

I've said it before but I'll say it again - You are one of a kind youtuber and I love that a lot!!! Not much youtube partners contact with viewers that much.

sweet! Gracias

Thanks man!! Best regards Portugal!

OutSTANDING tutorial! Can't wait to go home and wax this song

YEAHHH i was waiting for 46&2 made by YOU

This vid was very helpful

I brought that up because I've received so many comments telling me something is "wrong" because of the position or I didn't slur something and that's just silly. Play it however you can express yourself and the song best not be a copycat player.

gracias Axe ...saludos desde Mexico (:

Wow man now that I see you teaching this song, it's really similar to Right in Two from 10,000 Days... Keep those excellent lessons!

Thank you sir!

A channel with a ton of tool tutorials? You just got a new subscriber!

awesome job! :D

Well, I use 10's most of the time but right now I have 11's on there. I find it helps really thicken things up as well as help sustain. I would use at least 10's to help out the balance. 9's are a little flimsy when any detuning takes place.

I don't think it was any one person specifically that made me get them. I saw all sorts of players using them (different kinds) live and/or for recording purposes. I stumbled across Gruvgear, they're SoCal based so I went with them.

Adam is a genius

THANK YOU!!!
