[DewieCox]

Tool-Aenema....could pick anything from Jones. Even his leads have amazing groove and the way he and Chancellor blur the edges of a guitarist's and a bassist's duties is incredible

Them Crooked Vultures-S/T...tons of great unison riffs and just great players all locked into a groove...Homme holding his own against a dream rhythm section

Black Crowes-Southern Harmony and Musical Companion...Rich just laying it down. If you learned his parts from this album and never bothered with other cover material, you'd have laid an amazing foundation to become an all around rock rhythm guitarist.
