  • his fingers move so fucking smooth

  • you gotta love that guitar

  • If that's warming up, what can he do when he's warmed up?

  • Snake movement right there \m/

  • Please help me find the full lesson. I remember a longer video here on youtube but I cant find it anymore. He did the blister exist riff, then a chromatic exercise and then I remember he talked about modes and stuff.

    What episode is that? so I can watch the full lesson by Jim unless this is it..

    Any help would be nice

  • "hey, here is Jim from Slipknot"

    James Root

  • where can i find the complete lesson?!

  • Wow, he's really blazing there -_-

  • Fap tv :D

  • Chromatic scales are awsome if you know how to use them! pretty cool

  • @XxOnto86xX O.O!!!!! I've heard that before!!! What are they man???????

  • I find it pretty awesome how he uses Fender guitars, even though he's not playing country, blues, or jazz rofl.

  • @TurkeyTuck Yeah.... I'm a total metal head as well and I still use Fenders. Obviously they suck so bad for metal, but the Telecaster body is just.. so.. damn.. sexy.. ugh.. and Jim Root has active pickups in his so its practically not even a Fender anymore XD damn i wish I had a metal telecaster like him <_<

  • @Bludhoundz8

    Actually, in a way, they could be considered better. In a sense, Jackson guitars are pretty much fenders, since Jackson is owned by Fender.

    Along with that being said, guitars are all made the same way, so there isn't such a thing as a bad metal guitar, or a good metal guitar.

  • @TurkeyTuck Jackson is owned by Fender? I never knew that. I dunno, as much as I'd like a Tele, I feel that Fender guitars are way overrpriced. Much like Gibson. And Squier doesn't make any tele's with the wood or pickups I like, so it looks like I'm never gonna get a Tele. It sucks!... wish they had a custom shop, but those tend to be more expensive than anything.

  • @Bludhoundz8

    You'd be surprised to find out what's owned by what in guitar companies. Funny thing is, Ibanez is a Spanish name, and the company is owned by Japanese people.

    Same with Schecter, a German name, owned by Japanese people. ESP/Ltd is also owned by the same person who owns Schecter. So pretty much when you buy an ESP/Ltd, you're buying a Schecter rofl. (I think Schecter is a bit better when it comes to 7 string guitars though)

  • @TurkeyTuck Yeah, and Dean guitars own DBZ guitars, I believe.

  • @Bludhoundz8

    DBZ and Dean are both two separate companies.

    By the way, active pickups aren't really a metal thing, a lot of bass players use them just to get a louder output because of how low tuned a bass is. As a matter of fact, they don't contribute at all to tone at all really, if anything, they worsen tone hahaha.

  • fuck all haters, slipknot is a great band with 2 awesome guitarist, and a great singer.

    everybody who sais "slipknot suck.." is just mad, becouse they play awesome guitar, and the lyrics are great and then had sense (not only "motherfucker....jeah fuck...). please think a bit

  • dont like slipknot, but this is a very good exercise!! best thing to do in front of the tv, helps alot. btw, i noticed that the slipknot guys all have awesome signature instruments (instruments, not amplifiers!).

  • 0:18 Mario!!

  • I hate Slipknot.

  • @Sephiroth78941 i hate your brain

  • @KalmahanCZ I hate your life. Now go cut your jugular.

  • @Sephiroth78941 i hate your mother, morron

  • @KalmahanCZ It's spelled moron. If you're gonna insult me do it right.

  • Slipknot isn't great, but Jim's picking is clean :-)

  • that is the most impressive thing ive ever seen him do. his music makes millions of dollars. and the most impressive thing ive seen him do is a warm up. that is just fucking terrible.

  • lol, this is a wicked old Kirk Hammett warm-up from Guitar magazine in the 90's. just thought i'd throw that out there...

  • There really is no reason for any argument about anything, I'm nit preaching, just makes sense if you don't like this music why in the hell are you listening to it. Go and listen to what you do like and leave us alone. And have a great life. Looking for a fight on line is just immature and stupid. And ignorant, just ignorant.

  • where can I find the complete lesson?

  • i'm waiting for a Jim Root signature Strat to be delivererd and I can't wait. Simple answer is that if you don't like it don't get yourself all upset looking and listening. What other people do is their business, go and listen to what ever you like and be positive about it, don't waste your time giving other people who aren't exactly like you a hard time, get a life, and enjoy it. :})>

  • Someday I'll get a charvel guitar just like that

  • @flamejocky the sad thing about it is that to most there fans...it is

  • Ey guys...

    could you stop to discuss about "why slipknot sucks" and "That slipknot sucks" and that all bands of this genre sucks?

    And would better listen to this fuckin great guitar player??

    Jim is so fuckin awesome. I love Jim <3

  • Wow

  • Comment removed

  • it kinda sounds like mario when he goes back up the frets.

  • Could anyone please tell me WHY (not "that") Slipknot suck?

    For all those kiddos : I repeat , please tell my WHY dont you like slipknot. And use facts and arguments. ("Because they suck" doesnt count!) Admit it. 90% of the slipknot haters do only hate them because they want to act cool in front of others. only like 10% of you guys do have a real reason to hate them.

  • @NeverGodGFX Because it sounds like a broken distortion blunder in my fucking ear? That good enough?

    Now I'm going back to my Sacred Reich, and Nuclear Assault Videos. Fuck this shit.

  • @363Magi a lot of metal bands sound like that. infact most of this genre do. So why is Slipknot the only one of them sucking? well nvm. i will never get haters points of view.

  • он сам-то ничего не умеет,чему ему учить других?

  • @sigurdblueface Извини, братан, я хотел бы ответить на ваш вопрос (или пытаются), но к сожалению, русский не переводить очень чисто и Google является сука об этом.

  • he warms up with that? -.-

  • @luiehiy That's what I fucking thought! :|

  • just...horrible

  • You know the person with highest rated comment on this vid is right.

    But one question, why people respond to his comment when they see it's 1 year ago?

  • It looks like his fingers are sliding o.o

  • What the hell is the point of this? LOL

  • @iOGarou It is just an exercise he uses to warm-up. That's the point.

  • @iOGarou what the hell is the point of your comment?

  • The point of my comment is to tease this for how useless this is.

  • Looks so easy...

  • easy jajajaja

  • @karibonito not really

  • he is a good guitar player but im surprised how heavy slipknot is because jim uses a tele and strat....

  • @xXxmetalhead666xx EMG pickups, thick strings..

  • Sounds great though

  • It's just the Spider Walk. That's basic stuff, man, I'm disappointed.

  • The Excersize sounds like Jordan: Buckethead

  • that exersise sounds like some old video game

  • @blackjacket123 haha sounds like a old doom game

  • wat guitar is that

  • its a charvel watch the before i forget video. its the same guitar

  • charvel san dimas.

  • Well, that must make your mom happy. She was able to stop paying the bum at the corner quarters to lick her asshole when she popped you out.

  • No it was a few years later.

  • lolololololol

  • or u can fuck urself,

  • i dont like that sound

  • deagla....fuckin posser pokemon

  • @cartifilus here's the thing, please for the love of god, go and kill yourself. there is no need for another pop loving, video trolling ass licker in this world

  • he is not wearing the mask ??

  • not in this vid

  • Yeah. I can piss over anything I feel like too. That doesn't make me any better than anyone else, if anything, it only makes me more of a douchebag. So stick all your "better opinions" up your ass. Because nobody here is taking you seriously.

  • can you do it.....if so please post a video!!! pussy.

  • being a maggot is a way of life (kinda)

  • @SlipknoTMaggoT118 I guess not anymore since Paul Gray is rotting in a hole in the ground lol

  • @SarcasticDouche15 good point i stopped listening to them and went back to korn my childhood band i got into the nine after i listened to duality and ive been a korn fan since before i even heard of slipknot

  • @SarcasticDouche15 fucking asshole!

  • I love how every time the term Slipknot pops up, people decide to castrate each other. It makes me wonder if anyone will ever be able to produce a decent argument about the band, or at least make a point. To those who hate Slipknot, good for you. Just don't go into every fucking Slipknot video looking for a fight like you think you've got the biggest dick this side of the west. And to those who love Slipknot. Good for you, but their a band, not a suicide cult. They're not your way of life.

  • agreed. totally agreed.

  • Lol. So people killing each other of an imaginary entity like God is fine, but Slipknot is a no-no? xD

  • So your saying I SHOULD contemplate killing aunt Methusela because she called Slipknot "STUPID musical none-such"? It's the exact same thing. Killing for anything is a "no-no" as you put it. It's pointless, and words could solve the problem just as well. If someone walks up to you and ridicules your favorite, you don't have to shiv him with a tire iron. You could present an opposite argument. It's as simple as that.

  • No, I'm saying you could at least think about it..

    xD

    Though I would agree with you in an all perfect world wherein everybody is nice to each other and we all accept each others differences... You're being too naïve, or rather said, you're acting naïve. You don't look so stupid as to think people will actually reason with each other when they know they can't win with reason, or words.

    So they use threat and violence, and it works 99% out of all the time.

    Love the optimism, though, dude. ;]

  • The majority of people I know pretty much solve all their problems without the use of violence. I'm sorry, but if people really think that most things can be solved with violence, then they're the naive one. As a matter of fact, the majority of the time, violence makes things worse. Then again, I do agree that peace can't solve every problem, but it can solve plenty more than violence, in my opinion. Anyway, thank you for the interesting conversation, though. I think we agree to disagree

    XD.

  • Well, to be honest. Iraq, Iran, Amerika, Russia, Germany and pretty much any country would be hypocritical to agree with you. I agree, they can; But that doesn't mean they will. And well, I salute you for having good friends ;] .

    Yep, we totally do. Have a nice life. xD

  • my head hurts XD

  • while presenting an opposite argument is the more logical and nicer thing to do, i've personally found that usually the people who ridicule anything won't listen to another argument and will basically have an attitude that says, "my opinion matters and yours doesn't stfu"

  • @flamejocky fuckin preach!!!!!!

  • if you play guitar you will understand that this playing comes from a pro level, very clean sound no noises and stuff, hands close to the fretboard instead of flying around, thumbs up!

  • if he played it faster than what he did, the sound of the awesomest sound i ever heard would make me want to scream, wake my neighbors, and headbang to metal. they are all awesome.

  • what is slipknot then? xD

  • dont compare shitty brokencyde to slipknot faggot

  • how the fuck is it rap rock? i mean i love slipknot but i also am a fan of bc13

    but just bcuz they have a dj and shit doesnt mean there rap

  • Remember children. there isn't such a thing as a shitty genre. Only shitty music and genres you don't like. Just because one genre contains a lot of shitty music or dumbass fans doesn't mean it all sucks.

    Just a major part. So yeah. Slipknot does has some rap influences, but there's nothing wrong with that. Now if corey taylor started singing "yeah yeah momma ahh ahh" i'd slap the bitch. But right now, im very okay with it. Hope I added some perspective.

  • I agree... if he started going.... yo you n!g3r bi-atch... i got my pimps and hos... i wouldnt listen to slipknot any more.....

  • @jinzu33

    Slipknot fucking suck

  • @LostTheGameXD And you're a wannabee Anon. Crawl back to the shitty facebook page you came from.

  • @jinzu33

    "wannabee anon" LOL

    Doesnt change the fact slipknot are fucking terrible

  • @jinzu33 dude they were shit right after IOWA honestly slipknot is for little kids who are just getting into metal everone grows out of these kinds of bands

  • @BODOMSKATER666 Give it a rest, and don't be so fast to judge and generalize people. I could say the same about your youtube name containing '666' but we'd both see that's just a childish thing to do, no? Looking down on people doesn't make you any better. It just makes you more of an asshole.

  • @BODOMSKATER666 hey, i'm alive because of these guys ok? and i'm 27! and people don't grow out of metal, they just decide to look cool and listen to it so they can say they went through a phase. once a metalhead always a metalhead

  • @BODOMSKATER666 You couldn't be more wrong :)

    I've been a fan of these guy since 1999, seen them play countless times, including download 2009. So no, its not just for kids.

    Clearly your just a pussy fanboy :)

  • @BODOMSKATER666 On some level I agree with you, that they are one of the first bands ppl here when starting out in metal, cause they were mine :) Probably cause they're fucking huge! But you know how it is in metal, the more 'unknown' the genre, the cooler it is! Slipknot are the opposite I guess, and I couldn't give a shit \m/

  • @jinzu33 ok you wanna sit here an talk shit on cory tayler he has very good voice

  • @jinzu33

    i dare you to name one crunkcore band that doesn't suck massive balls.

  • You. Are. A. Prick.

  • nob

  • Wow, that's a clever ''insult'', you wankstain.

  • Come up with an argument, please.

  • vulva

  • Wtf?

  • Never seen Mick without a mask, wow what a comment... thumbs up everyone... :)

  • @Bryan692 thumbs down.

  • a fat loser that will rock the living shit out of you!

  • It sounds kinda like the music in one of those old arcade games! I think it was Centipede or something!

  • lol same

  • he's not saying he's the best guitarist in the world! people ask, he tells, simple as that!

    the real difference between the people that are bitchin about this and him is, he is in a succesfull band making big dollars, while you sit at home being a wanna be, learning how to sweep to "three blind mice". and im not even much of a slippers fan, you just suck.

  • I like you way of thinking my friend.

  • lol pwnd

  • rofl

  • cool new slipknot solo!

  • not really

  • i use that same exercise all the time :P

  • Woopee, chromatics

  • chromatics is a good way to practise finger work

    cause there is so many variations of it

  • heh lol

  • so mario

  • Charvel san dimas?

  • sounds like the evil mario song lmao

  • @ackersbr

    LMAO

  • anyone know what model charvel that one is?

  • custom made

  • and you and 8 others could do better? infact could you do better than any one member of slipknot?

  • damn he's sexy >:)

  • he really isnt even that good at playing guitar. playing low chords is basically all the old slipknot was.

    i admit he is okay in the new album. he has some crazy shit in it.

    and i know he can probubaly do so much more crazy shit.

    but from what he shows in his songs and videos, he really isn't that great of a player compared to others.

    just stating an opinion.

  • not gunna bag u for ur comment, its valid, but what he plays fits with slipknot n there whole 'image' n shit like that. hes a little more creative in stone sour..

  • Jim is fucking awesome!

  • i say sarcasticdouche15 wins the arguement!

    i didnt finish reading your arguement coz i got fucking bored

    so.. yeah...

    jims so awesome!

  • very nice :)

  • Dude i learned how to do that same thing he demonstrated a while ago

  • 1 i didnt fucking say it in a way meaning he wasnt good. 2 dude fucking chill out im not full of shit.3. i use it to practice and warm up. chill out im not going around offending people. your the only one starting a fight. Jims one of my favorite guitarists. It took me a while to learn it. so dude quit being one of those people starting something. we all love Jim Root.

  • hes a prick, aint he.

  • Yeah. Fuck that little guitar hero queer. He probably cant even play guitar so i dont know why the hell he is fucking talking shit to everyone

  • SarcasticDouche... good name. suits you.

  • My name comes from many different things. including the fact that I'm a music remixer. dont be a prick. Go do something with your life.

    I'm in a fuckn band and youve got... what?

  • Hahahahahahahahaha!!! "I'm in a fuckin band", Whoaaaaa!!!! Everyone back off now! This kid is in a band!! You really think you're doing big things with your life because you play in some shitty band that will never make it big? It looks to me like someone is just delusional. I need to get a life yet here you are replying to my comments for no reason. Did I start talking to you? Nope! You and your crappy band will never be anything. And I'm sure your "music remixes" probably suck!

  • LMFAO! ATTA BOY!
