I actually met this dude at a petrol station in Rozelle Australia when their van pulled in for cigarettes and I was at the ice cream fridge and he asked me which ice cream is popular here in Australia and I told him to try the splice. Which is what I was buying. I think he found me approachable because I was wearing the misfits t shirt.
Yeah he has a kickass beard and hair but what I noticed is that most of the time he takes off his mask he looks like a hipster especially when he has glasses or his hair in a bun
I never fully noticed that cool fucking groove during the chorus. Now it's super obvious when I listen to it. You discover something new every day with Slipknot. Reasons why Root is one of my favorite guitarists
I love how Jim even admits to doing things differently like double picking because he’s tired or giving the precise background on the reason something sounds the way it does
+Rennerp and that's the good thing about music. To each his own. If we all liked the same thing, it would be boring. I'm like Mesa, and the Peavy 5150 amp myself. Only artist I like that plays Randall currently is probably Michael Amott. Some people I don't care for are Scott Ian and Kirk Hammett. Good at what they do, just don't like their tone. But I'm a firm believer in its in the artist, not the machine. 🤘
1:27 What a splendid pie Pizza-pizza pie! Every minute, every second buy, buy, buy, buy, buy! What a splendid pie Pizza-pizza pie. Every minute every second buy, buy, buy, buy, buy.
Never ever was a Slipknot fan until now. Upon watching alot of live stuf and vids like these, These two dudes (Mick and Jim) are just bad... fuckin... ass !!!
That custom Jazz master is beautiful. Jim's the man and this tutorial was done really well. Learned it real quick. I was drawn by the chorus but the whole song is dope.
I remember that I saw Jim and Mick when I bought a number of Total Guitar magazines on a vacation trip in Spain and it had a video with a guitar lesson from both of them. They scared the shit outta me in every aspect. Today, I still think that those guys are absolute units on guitar.
Tbh, the beginning really isn't too hard. The timing can be a bit difficult but I managed to figure it out within like 2 days. And I'm a pretty trash guitarist.
Jim Root is my favourite guitarist and I do own the Jim Root signature guitar it sounds awesome and I love playing slipknot I love the tones that you can get out of it
This is the video that got me into Slipknot. Took me like a year to learn to play this one and 'All Hope is Gone" but feels amazing to play. What a complete badass.
Damn, I remember being a kid in one of the shittiest times in my life and this album came out, forever shaped me and made me a maggot till the day I fucking die

ice cream...it brings the world together...
Coolest tone, coolest rig/gear, coolest beard/hair, coolest guy, and coolest band.
What else can you ask for?
how about the coolest comment:D
Yeah he has a kickass beard and hair but what I noticed is that most of the time he takes off his mask he looks like a hipster especially when he has glasses or his hair in a bun
Some cool aid
@@sageumbra if you are lead guitarist in slipknot you can look like a hipster if you choose.
@@BigTyronie point
I love the finish on that guitar.
its beautiful
It's a wonder. No idead how much such a thing would be worth though
+Tony Zerv seeing as he is most likely signed with fender it's most likely custom
he has said it is custom
it looks just like the cover of the original evil dead dvd case. old human skin.
That Fender Body is (sic)
Adrian Zapata J A Z Z MASTER BODY AND SOUL SLIPKNOT
IKR? It made me Eyeless.
I read it That Fender boi
Jazz master
It is a Jazzmaster Sandblasted

Travino.EXE Same here man! It’s completely changed the song for me
I think the drummer is key to the band's groove.
100% fucking AGREE :0
Ive never been a fan of slipknot, good gimmick. This dude tho, fucking shreds, Im a jim root fan for sure!
Grey chapter is awesome but its hard to hear some of the subtle parts in the mix
I love how Jim even admits to doing things differently like double picking because he’s tired or giving the precise background on the reason something sounds the way it does
His hair is goals
more like beard goals
Jim and his tarantula fingers attacking that fretboard like a boss !!🤘
Can we just appreciate how smooth the picking is at 5:02
That downpicking is deadly
It's all in the beard
SnappiestGnome hehe nice
Its' f*cking amazing, lol
Just relax as much as possible
The fact he’s using his non dominant hand as his picking hand gives me hope.
What's even more insane is the fact that he plays all this live while head-banging mannnn thats freaking insane!!!
This song now looks as frantic as it sounds. Absolutely killer guys
There is no denying that this is tight.
Jim root is an absolute beast on this track some of the grooviest slipknot riffs it’s an underrated song
Honestly the best song on this album
I love how Jim performs this song so positively
One of the most underrated comments I've ever read 🤣
Its hard to beat Jim"s tone!!!!
damn straight
His tone is not to my liking, hes a good player but Orange amps sound like shit compared to Diezels and Randalls

Ya I dont think many people are signed with Randall but they put out quality amps man.
Or his hair!

Shit, man 😂👌
Pepperoni and green peppers, mushrooms, olives, chives
lmao i'm not the only one who thought about it
Did somebody say porkie pies
Damn, I hope the guys from SOAD don't sue them
Never ever was a Slipknot fan until now. Upon watching alot of live stuf and vids like these, These two dudes (Mick and Jim) are just bad... fuckin... ass !!!
I'm glad
Like ur mom
Its like watching him tame a beast. Damn
Kane Jones
S
Kane Jones oh yeeeeeeessssssss......
You can see the Boredom on his face . Man is beyond talented
Nice cover keep it up and you'll make a pretty good band
Jim root is rythym guitarist for slipknot since 97
@@morganroy8605 woosh
@@vinnytheevyllpopcorn8291 Also lead guitar lol
There’s no lead or rhythm guitarist. Jim and Mic both main, all the parts.
this guy can be in more than 1; I guess he'll can be in 2 bands, 'cause of his sour riffs.
Not a huge Slipknot fan, but this is awesome. Great tutorial. Really like his axe too.
I could watch Jim play guitar all day, my favorite guitarist.
Reminds me of Walk. Two notes and a bend. The simplest riffs are the coolest sometimes!
I am loving these instrumentals versions.
left-handed but kicks ass on a right handed guitar, absolutely amazing!
JIM ROOT THE BEST GUITARRIST OF THE WOLRD
"WORLD" SORRY
That custom Jazz master is beautiful. Jim's the man and this tutorial was done really well. Learned it real quick. I was drawn by the chorus but the whole song is dope.
sweet to hear the instrumental!
You know what I'll just say it, im more jealous of Jim's beard growing abilities than his guitar abilities, won't lie
needs to drop his beard routine
Jesus Christ I could watch you play all day, just a guitar samurai!!! I love you Jim🤘🏾🖤🤘🏾
Not a real big slipknot fan but, I am a big Jim root fan!! The man can play!!!!!!
I remember that I saw Jim and Mick when I bought a number of Total Guitar magazines on a vacation trip in Spain and it had a video with a guitar lesson from both of them. They scared the shit outta me in every aspect. Today, I still think that those guys are absolute units on guitar.
Jesus every fucking song is an encyclopedia of riffs! How they put them all together is brilliance.
3:50 - 4:15 Downpicking part
One of the best riffs they ever made!
This song was so fun to learn, i NEEEED more of these playthroughs 😤
I hope next album has more of Sid's scratching and DnB sounds.
Pls
No never !!!
Yea just like the ending of Sarcastrophe, that's epic!
God please NO
Mo I mean it would be pretty cool to hear more disc scratching involvement like back in the original album
I hate how simple he makes it look 🔥🔥
At 3:47, man! on the original when your blasting it in your vehicle.
Heavy as fuck, smooth as silk!
Steve C I know, and his part is fantastic too...oh I thought you meant his beard lmao
Jim Root always adds a touch of class
damn you jim, how can a guy be so handsome but so intimidating
Killer guitar sound. It's nice to hear stuff that's not so easy to make out in the mix.
Thanks for the lesson!
He should make a solo album. Really solid guitarist.
True but he said that he was nothing without Slipknot, if he had to quit the band he probably would stop doing what he's doing sadly. :/
Isso é um god da guitarra ❤❤🤘🤘🤘❤❤ ele e o Mick ❤🤘 vida longa ao slipkinot ❤❤❤❤
his guitar looks made out if beef jerky
*of, sorry.
Sean Serenade HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! XDDDD
Sean Serenade agreed. I was going to say human flesh.
Yeaah because the song needs to sound beefy. Duh.
I love how he steadily became lead with mick since 'AHiG'
That pre chorus is fucking lethal 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's brilliant to rediscover Slipknot songs in this way 😍
Never really been into the tribal scene but I’ve always really liked Jim’s sleeve
Me: searches how to play song
Me: watches video
Also me: logs out and flops face into pillow in defeat XD
random channel lol
Don't worry,he was just raised by a guitar dad and normal mother,non of us are that lucky
Tbh, the beginning really isn't too hard. The timing can be a bit difficult but I managed to figure it out within like 2 days. And I'm a pretty trash guitarist.
Jim at least had a dad who was a musician.
Steve vai had no one who was a musician, he learned it all by himself.
It's just about practice
I don't even have a guitar. But I wish I had one
He looks like Santa Clause's cooler younger brother
I WANT THAT GUITAR
It's a jazzmaster custom version made by Fender, especially for Jim, so I don't think you can buy exactly the same guitar
@@clipsvariados46_xt17 there has been talk of them doing a limited run of it. Jim said ot himself
If you haven't already, check out Jim's guest solo on John5's second album. Really great stuff.
Jim Root is my favourite guitarist and I do own the Jim Root signature guitar it sounds awesome and I love playing slipknot I love the tones that you can get out of it
This is the video that got me into Slipknot. Took me like a year to learn to play this one and 'All Hope is Gone" but feels amazing to play. What a complete badass.
The down picking speed is mind blowing
I love it! Always said it sounds like bees buzzing!
The only cover n lesson that we can have confident at
Drums so heavy..good job Jay weinberg👍
Bro this guitar....so beautiful
Such an amazing song! Thank you Jim :)
Screw like where is the LOVE button????
God he's so fucking cool when he plays...
That verse kill my hands man!!!!
I'm a big fan of your work. Wait for you here in Brazil.
I love Jim Root one my favorite guitar players of all time
Wow that sand blasted jazzmaster!!!! Wow I love it
JUST BOUGHT THE DIGITAL SOUND AND STORY: JIM ROOT LAST NIGHT!!!!! FUCKING GREAT!!! I WAS UP FROM 3-9am WATCHING THIS! ITS GREAT
Jim is living the life, such a nice career, beautiful hair and beard and stache and everything else
Now i dont have to search for right tabs anymore. Thx Jim. I fucking love you btw. No homo.
I love these videos. I love Jim! My friends used to call me Jim Root all the time haha
Pretty cool exclusive UG :) keep it up!

All this guy need is a mask and he'll be a slipknot member..great cover (lol)
He is

My favorite guitarist
I can't stop watching!!! this like my 100th time
Have to add this to my playlist before I forget
i love that guitar so much, it always makes me think of the necronomicon :}
I find solace in putting this on and jamming along with Jim on guitar. fun song.
Damn, I remember being a kid in one of the shittiest times in my life and this album came out, forever shaped me and made me a maggot till the day I fucking die
Some real talent right there .. This dude just has it great job Jim, and that guitar though ..
This was really amazing
miusc❤
jim makes the band melodic
Love this guitar !
One of the very best guitar players you'll never know. \m/
Whatever
awesome guitar!
I'd say at least once a week I search online for that guitar to see if one has surfaced. One day!!! JR!!!
Anyone else notice that Jim plays the riff the wrong way at 1:10? The face he makes is hilarious 😂
Dude jim is a frickin god
He is a god damn MACHINE!!
JIM ROOT=THE BEST,,,THE BEAST..
that guitar is breathtaking
Still some of the best rythems ever!!! Damn it man..........
jeeez, his right hand is everywhere. definitely not a typical shredder!
one my favorite ritm guitar song...
jim has my favorite on stage head bang
Mais algum Br aprendendo com o mestre Jim?
awesome tone and riff :)
Im not huge slipknot fan but I do like Jim Root. He’s a master of his craft and has good taste in gear. Just an all-round likeable guy.
That riff throughout the intro reminds me of something deftones would put together
I can't believe you just said that. That's what I was thinking for the longest time. I just couldn't put my foot on it
