Thnk you Fender!
More James root pleace
I want to see more from Jim
I'm surprised the volume knob doesn't go up to 11
Nice spinal tap reference
Or 15 like Eddie
Aside from being absolute metal heads, each member of the band is actually insanely gifted music wise. They don't just smash shit and headbag. They're super skilled artists
This guy’s the most gifted in the facial hair department for sure.
Fender Jim Root Signature Beard.
XDDDDDDD
nice
+Gerber Bernstein best comment in a long while haha
Fender Jim root signature you know?
Limited edition, but you can't find it anywhere.
"It's a TONE MONSTER!". What a dude.
You forgot the "you know"
❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤😍
james IS a SHRED monster, h
@@trevorturner104 I feel like slipknot doesn’t get the credit they deserve for how much thought gets put into their sound. I think that some people see the band as just very noisy and abrasive but in reality there’s a lot of dept and thought that goes into that “noise” that they create. It really is a method to the madness and it takes talent to pull it off
So weird to hear a slipknot guitarist playing blues licks through a clean fender amp.
+Teun Music Productions They play the CRAP that the masses of sheep will pay for because the sheep don't understand what good music is. That about wraps it up.
BlackLocustMusic ehh, what are you talkin' about and what has that to do with my comment?
+Teun Music Productions Metal is based upon blues just ask black sabbath, pantera and slipknot they have said that many times before
iamananimal42 Yeah, that makes sense, I think, but it was still weird for me, knowing slipknot with clips and heavy music and stuff, but thanks bro
plus jim root never uses anything other than fender, just listen to the band stone sour which has the singer from slipknot and jim, its more of a rock band
I met Jim when he was touring with stone sour at the Hardrock casino in Hollywood Fl..
Jim was cool, I asked him how the ladies treating him, he chuckled and he signed my stuff we took a pic I shook his hand thank him for coming down and wished him A great show and it was.. Real cool guy.. Thanks Jim.
myownruin187 did you stroke his beard? If so... I'm jealous
g berry lol wtf
'Im, in Slipknot, mkay!?' 2:13
sassy james
James "Sass" Root
Sassy Root
Root sass
Jimithy Sass Root
You can tell he absolutely LOVES guitars. One of the best players I have seen. Inspired me to learn how to play. Love you Jim!
That beard is fucking mighty.
Weeaboo Trashski Nooooo
"you know" - Jim Root
+Jake Gambino you know?
+DarkestofTimes you know
You know?
And Zakk Wylde, And Gus G
And many other guitarists
and billie joe armstrong
ZZ Knot
😂😂😂😂😂💯👏
Thats new
You fucking win, sir.
***** oh !!
Rosa Dowe I'm seeing comments like this everywhere. What is this?
What a dude. I love hearing musicians with passion like this talk about their instruments.
In 20 years, his transformation into Billy Gibbons will be complete.
Hipster is not a stage in metamorphosis towards Billy Gibson, neither is being in slipknot
no one can become like Billy Gibbons. mortals cannot become God
Just needs a les Paul lmao
James now looks and sounds like the guy from Mythbusters...
Lol
+NEVer_change1 its the mustache
+NEVer_change1 So your saying Jamie Hyneman is a guitarist for a metal band?
hahahaha
RainField0730 I could picture Jamie in a metal band
I like his playing far better then Micks. I love Mick, but Jim is a monster at jazz and it's insane to hear Jim play, he's a master.
Allen Mueth hence the jazzmaster lol
Well they dont have the same roles, so you cant really compare them.
I bet you didnt even hear Micks playing
Black widow with John 5
Mick is a metal machine and Jim is kinda like a jazzy player
Love the way jim vibratos. Its so relaxed and fits in well. Not drug out and over exaggerated all the time.
This guitar is my favorite guitar y' know, I have 2 bands y' know, This guitar has nice specs y' know. lol xD
You gotta love Jim Root! Nice guy.
You gotta love Jim Root, y' know
He probably says that cause he’s from the Midwest ya know ?
"Bend it up into happiness" - I love that description of high fret bending :D
Jim root: "I am Root"
The Euro Ricer lol. Best comment
I wish he'd do more videos of him playing things other than Stone Sour and Slipknot.. I love to hear pros playing the things that inspire them instead of just their band's music all the time.
Dude is around 6' 7", with a 3 foot beard.
Phil Hughes he’s a unit
6'6, 1 foot beard. He's a complete unit.
Who's he think he is Paul Bunyan.
6' 8" or 6' 7"? I heard hecs taller than mick.
@@ibnufasya6408 he is, mick is 6’4
What beautiful tone and playing.
In a strange turn of events I ended up with one of Jim's former studio guitars (now an "extended borrow" by the friend who sold it to me), and it's cool to see how it's set up exactly per his usual specs. I believe mine was from his earlier days with SK, and it's a completely customized Warmoth Strat (former USA 50s reissue Strat) built to his specs, but with aftermarket S-S-H (before he went with EMGs). Heaviest guitar I've ever played, but the way it resonates... it trembles in your hands like something alive. Never felt a guitar like that. Love the compound radius Warmoth Pro maple neck.
I had listened to Slipknot once in a while but didn't know names or anything. More of a blues hack. Learned that the guitar belonged to Jim some time after I bought it -- so for the novelty, I found vids of him on TH-cam and watched him play -- love his versatility, and it makes the instrument all the more special. Seems like a cool guy. Very talented.
Is there some way I can see a photo of this? Either way that's cool.
As much as I dislike Slipknot and the music they make, it's downright stupid to deny that they're all, especially Root, incredibly talented musicians. This guy's great.
***** Yes, banging on trash cans requires "incredible talent"!
revolutionday1 Yes because he's clearly banging trash cans in this video, right? Because what two members of the band do sometimes means thats what all the members of the band do. Hur Dur.
***** I know what you mean. BTW, the percussions look more like beer kegs than trash cans.
Of course he is and Mick too
+revolutionday1 stfu they make great music that's wayyy better than the processed pop shit you listen to
Lol, the people hating probably wish they could grow a monster of a fucking beard that Jim Root has
***** that mustache is pretty fuckin magnificent too
Albin Hovde my b i read it wrong i guess. just people always talking shit on vids and it's like if u don't like it dont comment just go something else...my b
His beard needs shaved. Come at me with the hate replies bitches.
Sup Dewd BONG! #inflammatorycommentfail
How long would one have to wait to be able to cultivate a beard like that lol
I appreciate his sound/tone, and i also respect his taste in guitars. When it comes to metal you either play a superstrat with humbuckers (ESP MII, IBANEZ...) or a radical shape like the ones offered by Jackson, BCRich, Dean...Root went with a non conventional rout: Fender! I give him credit for making models like jazzmaster and telecaster cool and convenient for metal.
And not just him, don't forget John 5 and Dave Murray of Iron maiden.
And having owned Ibanez guitars and BC Rich guitars I can tell you why players go back to fender, they feel comfortable, a BC Rich Warlock looks cool but plays like hell because of it being pointy all over.
Fenders have been there from the very first time heavy metal came about. I mean "Born to be Wild" was recorded using a telecaster.
RastaSaiyaman
Yes my friend i agree with you. I remember that i saw pictures of some very brutal death metal bands rocking it with fender strats (Deicide, Nile)
Jim root is an amazingly rounded player. That noodling was cool. Bet he can hold his own in any style, I wanna hear a instrumental solo album.
now we need a jim root jaguar, a jim root mustang, a jim root duosonic, a jim root acoustasonic telecaster, a jim root starcaster....
Deacon Blues I would pay for a Jim Root Starcaster, maybe a Coronado to? I also want a acoustic tele for the meme value.
Got my first Jazzmaster the other week, the TVL one and I can concur that it is the most comfortable guitar I have ever played. I tried to fight that I didn't like it as much as the Strat or Tele but they are just awesome! It's all i'm grabbing out of my collection since I got it. Wish there were dot inlays on this one though!
Beautiful guitar. Ive played this and it's pure quality on every level
I am so happyy, that Jim decided to share his love to his shovel. Thank you!
Hes so down to earth.
Hes one of my favorite guitar heros.
Honestly I love the specs he has for his guitars except I'd put a tone knob on there. I love the classic shapes of Fenders but I love the sort of modern appointments he adds to his guitars. To me a shape of a guitar should not dictate how it sounds forever. Cool that he played it clean too
Here's a drinking game, take a shot of tequila for every time Jim Root says y'know in these videos, you'll end up in ER, but its a laugh.
jazzmasters are so special. standing up and holding one is one of the most balanced experiences ever from an instrument
That's a sweet guitar. Jim is a beast of a guitarist. I like the simplicity - volume knob, selector switch, done... Oh, and two active pickups of course.
His hair and beard combo is fucking awesome.
Who cares what he looks like or how many times per minute he says "you know", the guy is a great guitarist and nobody can deny that.
Sounds awesome. ...would have never guessed it had EMG pickups in it....such a warm and round sound.
I liked watching Jim sitting there, talking about Frender guitars, fretting nervously while talking. Legit awesome.
Awesome guitar! Slipknot is one of the bands that got me into metal and I also have an appreciation for older, more "classic" electric guitar shapes.
it's amazing how much I can hate a band's music but enjoy listening to their guitarist alone and with some clean tones
Same here the first album was good the first time I heard it after the next albums didn't care much about this band
I love watching popular musicians in an intimate setting like this playing licks on their favorite guitar, bass or drum kit.
“It will start wearing in there nice and good” best quote I’ve ever herd
Mick is dope but Jim is my favorite guitarist of slipknot. The dudes skill is just so damn technical
Amen
Ive always favored Jim as well
Mick is a rhythm guitarist not lead
No, actually....mick also plays lead.
Just think about it, why would you have a BC rich warlock as a rhythm guitar? It was built to be a lead.
I want his beard
+Ryan Taylor Yeah I'm not a beard person myself, but I wouldn't mind one like his either.
+Ryan Taylor same here
+Ryan Taylor ebay
I have his signature tele n strat, and I just ordered this jazzmaster, all of his specs are perfect for my playing, n they sound awesome
My buddy is bringing his Jim Root Jazzmaster over tomorrow and I'm going to try this guitar out. Looking forward to seeing this in person.
Well, I tried the guitar last night, and I can see why my buddy got it. That guitar is nice and a work horse. Simple but quality. The EMG pickups compliment the guitar. Great work Fender
What a fucking surprise that nearly all of the comments focus on his looks. Stay shallow, metalheads. No need to focus on the things that actually matter.
Love you finowa!
woah damn finowa and true i think he looks kinda cool
I like the look and how he sounds and looks like the other one of the mythbusters!
And who are you to tell people what actually matters? fuck you man
Agreed. To me those haters sound like a fashionista.
jim looks like a differnt person in every album
I think he may be a spy.
Damn I love his form on the neck, so proper and well trained.
I haven't seen an image of Jim for years and years. I rate he looks pretty cool! And that guitar is so damn stunning. If I had money I would definitely get it.
He looks like a great guy. Intelligent too, I must say. And man, that's a sexxy guitar.
John Petrucci vs. Jim Root.
Battle of the Beards.
Great version of a Jazzmaster, very different. A proper signature and it looks superb
This is the first time hearing his voice Jim is a great guy and guitarist
2:17 he was talking about clown and sid getting crazy in live stage xD HAHA
Man, that EMG 60 sounds nice. Who says EMGs can't do clean now?!
Way to rock Jim Root! Iowa is proud of you.
I love what he plays right in the beginning.
No one:
Jim: I'm in slipknot, okay?💅
When I turned this video on I thought what a poor looking guitar, but now after 4 minutes watching I love it. Simple and beautiful, great sounding and desirable instrument!!!
",,,,bend it up to happiness". great quote by mr root.
I dont undertand the people raging in the comments in general... why do you even put the effort in writing a comment? let me put this straight: if you dont like it, go listen to something you like! As I dont have to like Steve Winwood or blues you dont have to like Slipknot or Stone Sour! A real metal head (in my opinion) is tolerant, listens to everything he personally likes (and if its a little bit harder than something like Guns ´n´Roses), and doesnt rage in some youtube comments like a 12 year old who didnt get his new console and GTA V for christmas.
Oma30003 LOL awesome.
I think itskinda cool to look differently from the type of music you play
how is he in such and intense metal band I see him liking hippie music and classical jazz songs
He's said that he finds himself listening to Led Zeppelin and The Beatles rather than metal.
+Sergei Ivanovich Mosin and floyd
+austin cutty Fenriz from Darkthrone listens to Uriah Heep.
Metalartists listening to non-metal is nothing special.
+austin cutty Because being in a metal band doesn't define him or limit him to one genre of music. You'll find that life is a lot more rich if think in these terms.
+Redbeard Metalviking darkthrone and the rest of Black Metal is Shit
really got a great understanding of the tone from this video
Jim seems like such a chill guy
Damn Jim, I didn't know you played like that. I could listen to you improvise for 10 minutes
I love clean shred. Take the distortion off a lot of metal and I can dig it. Ditch the vocals toom
Not a big fan of that particular guitar, but Jim Root is dope as hell, so he gets a pass with this thing.
Edit: Actually, after watching the whole video now, that guitar makes complete sense for him. Emphasis on him though. It's not a guitar I would ever buy, even given the fact that I'm a huge fan of Root and have a lot of respect for his work.
Not a metal fan at all, but Jim Root seems like a cool dude...is there anything from his work that's not so heavy metal? Something....lighter regarding sound? If I wanted constant shredding and crazy riffs, I'd listen to Petrucci all day
Lewis Cho Some of the Stone Sour stuff has a lighter sound, check out songs like Hesitate, Through Glass, or Bother.
Totally buying this soon
He's an amazing an amazing guitarist.... an absolute legend
i love jim root's beard
you know?
whats the problem be a hipster or whatever what u call it i think he looks good nice style...
I wish they made is custom Jazzmaster with the different tone black woods and the red. Sickest guitar I’ve ever seen. Just check out some of his instrumental videos to see this beautiful piece of art.
I love his telacaster with the EMG pickups 🖤♥️🖤
His BeardyMustache is the real signature.
That is a real sexy ass guitar
His music is so soothing...
I've played just about everything out there. And there is still nothing like a fender. I prefer strats, but the tele is a beast as well. So comfortable, and clean
He looks like hipster santa haha
Haha! My thoughts exactly. Just weird seeing it from one of the best metal guitarists today.
He's so freakin adorable
i like his style i love playing jazz all day!!
Having a thick Midwestern accent myself, I went this entire video not noticing how many times this man said you know until i read the comments, this man is a legend
I got my first guitar when I was 12!! guess what...... I'M STILL 12!!!! AND I DON'T KNOW CRAP!!
Reply if you understand my pain😞
im 13 and im getting a nice mint green strat with mahogany fretboard fir my birthday
its my first guitar XD
+Jo Danielson 😂😂 nice
The first year is hard but it gets so much better when you start to become capable of writing.
its funny how many people rant about the beard and hairstyle of jim like seriously people?! there is nothing more important for you to talk about than a guys style i mean he has to walk around like that and he doesn't need your approval for that
Love Jim Root playing abilities
One of the bad ass guitar player modern days
I like the casual style, also he knows how to mold a guitar to his preference.
So, EMGs, mahogany body, no tremolo system, different contour, one volume knob... this isn't a Jazzmaster anymore. Call it a fucking Rootmaster or something, lol.
yeah its about the shape mostly
better yet the "metal master"
ZombicidalMan JAZZMASTER JAZZMASTER JAZZMASTER!!!!!!!!!!!
"JimMaster"
Jimmaster, rootmaster, jizzmas- nevermind
i don't even like slipknot but i love the way he reviews this guitar. simple and no bull shit.
This is one of the best looking guitars I've ever seen
I'm impressed. This video just gave me some much due respect for Jim Root.
My god.. is it really? I think it is. THE GOD OF ALL HIPSTERS!
Amazing.
I love how this guy turns every Fender's classic into nu-metal, Ibanez style guitar, changing every essential spect of the original instrument 🙂
very beautiful instrument
Those strings are huge. I love it.
A drink game
everytime he says y´know we drink a shot
annnd... my liver just exploded
+Peddy Irani RIP, y'know
i was enjoying this video then i saw ur comment and thats all i could hear ya know 😂😂
Aaaaannnddd. I woke up in a trash can
Why do people think he looks like a rapist? He looks like a cool hipster! I am jealous of his beard.
he looks like an english teacher
No he looks like a modern heavy metal guy
Bruce Wayne That look doesn't come from metal, regardless if there are dudes doing it. That's just flat out hipster.
Nem33 Sort of I know , but I like the new metal look actually
Please never compare one of the metal gods to a "Hipster" Fucking seriously.
I could listen to Jim talk for hours
That is a Beauty of a guitar
