Paul D’Amour wrote the baselines for Aenima and undertow albums. I love Justin too. You kind of see the progression they made since Justin joined. But I have to give Paul his props. The entire undertow and Aenima album bass is still recognizable. Sober for example. However, tool is my favorite band of all time and I really enjoyed this video! You did a amazing job! 😁

I just kinda want to say thanks to Mr. Axe of creation. Tool has been one of my favorite bands for about a year now and I picked up guitar two summers ago. (Summer before freshman year of high school. Im a sophomore now). Im self taught which has been both a blessing and a curse. Your Tool lessons have really helped me to understand their music and improve my skills. Keep up the great work man!

You can say "It's 1 of their best tracks" about so many Tool songs. The bass riff in Tempest when Adam Jones is soloing has got to be one of the "best" riffs also. Simple, yet so effective. It's a perfect foundation (at least to my ear).

Dude, do it! I'm a guitar tech, and I've got guys in their 60's who just started playing after retiring because they always wanted to and never found the time. They only wish they started sooner. So what if it takes a couple years to get some Tool riffs down? Those years are gonna go by either way.

Forty Six & Two is literally my favorite Justice Chancellor bass line next to Schsim and The Pot. Mainly because they’re the most fun to play. I still think all of the others are right up there. Ik, the most over rated songs or w.e., but they’re damn fun to play despite how simple they are. Maybe it’s because they’re the first songs I learned years ago, idk, but they’re my go to warm up songs and how I can tell if my bass is out of tune or not.

I'm turning my basses into High-Fives because there is no room for a dedicated low B string in my music unless I am getting it through the flick of a Double Stop Lever on a HipShot Bass Extender. It'll be interesting what I can do melodically, adding that high C, under the inspiring influences of Justin Chancellor's beautiful bass lines.

Nice vid brother. If you get a chance to watch the Ernie Ball String Theory with JT of TOOL you’ll see him playing 46 and 2.... they cut away but you hear him put that 7th fret F in there when he’s playing. And likewise I’ve seen bass players put it in there and also leave it out. I leave the interpretation to the individual I guess. Again nice vid. I’ll have to check out more of them.

In my opinion, Prison Sex is the best bass heavy song Tool has, but it is not a Justin Chancellor song, despite them playing it almost every single show till...I think the last time they played it was 2001, and that upsets me lol. That's my favorite song. Not their best song, but my personal favorite. All the songs you included are great, but Prison Sex's bassline just, ah man, there's just something about it.
