Hello and welcome to my idea on how TOOL’s “Reflection” is played. If you didn’t
 know, Reflection is track 11. 
Now the instruments played in this song are the drums(Awesome Danny Carey), Then
 comes Bass played by British Bad Ass Justin chancellor, then comes the synthesizer
 played I don’t know( I think Maynard  [the singer] played it but I’m not sure),
 then comes the instrument that sounds a lot like a horn but it could be the 
guitarist doing something weird with the guitar. After that comes one of the most
 greatest guitarist/artist that ever lived, Adam Jones. And after a while you’ll 
hear the serene vocals of Bitchin’ Maynard James Keenan. Here’s how I think the song 
goes:
Tuning: DADGBE
B=BEND ½ STEP	b= bend ¼ step	PM= palm mute	H=hammer-on	P= pull-off
NH= natural harmonics	 PH= pinch harmonics	SW*=swell	/ or=slide	v=vibrato
X+++++=pick scrape	(0)=ghost note	tr=trill
*You probably need an FX pre amp for this.

I think he plays with the synthesizer on this part

Wait until the synthesizer  has done its little routine 4x, and then play Fig.1 4x

Quiet end -do not pick-. repeat until track 12, "Triad".Use Reverb and a lil' delay.
Note: don't mute any note here!! Also just to make it easier, Mute the 4th string 
with your pick hand so you can hold it as a barre chord.
