Tool 'Vicarious' Transcription

[TKenrick]

Here's a transcription of Justin Chancellor's part on 'Vicarious' from Tool's [i]10,000 Days[/i]



Not much going on in terms of harmony (which is why I haven't included chord symbols) but there are plenty of interesting rhythmic ideas. The verse/bridge grooves also serve as a good exercise in playing in 5/4 that isn't Take Five.

There are a few bits that proved problematic when it came to writing down the part. Rather than write the intro in 10/4 I've divided it into bars of 6 and 4 for (slightly) easier reading, and the chorus is written in 6/4 although the drums imply 12/8.

As always, questions/comments/corrections/requests are more than welcome.

Really interesting. Thanks. Didn't know the song, but reading the transcription along with the video was useful.
