During the intro to this song, Mr. Chancellor has said that he uses
the tone knob on his bass to get the wah-like sweep effect that is
heard.  What you must do is hammer-on and pull-off the notes with
your left hand while controlling the tone knob with your right hand.
However, if you have an active EQ on your bass, or the above
technique is too difficult, you can use a wah pedal and play with your

Tool, The Patient.

hey, this song is by Tool off of their new cd
Lateralus.  it's a really good song I might add.
Adam Jones plays it on a Gibson Les Paul, so that's
where you hear the smoothness of it's sound.  well,
anyway, here's the tab.  this is just the verse and
the chorus.  I don't know the bridge.  sorry.it's not
that hard to learn.

Intro/verse (not the song before it, just what's
played on track 3)  all of this is palm muted.
