[jasvenegas3]

@anus5080 the amp is a Orange Rockerverb

[anus5080]

[diegosetubal23]

Jim Root is a Myth '--'

[renegade1996]

[itunanswered123]

[ttdu2414]

[soidz666]

It look´s so easy

[KingButtCheekz]

such a fucking champion xD <3

[Zam0rak41]

[KingButtCheekz]

@Zam0rak41 EMG's brothah :D lol all ya need for a heavy as fuck sound. and this is his signature tele :P

[Derekbasscovers]

@Zam0rak41 It's his signature model, he has strats as well. Just get you one of them, and an orange amp.

[liquidocelot666]

The verse riff of duality is the better riff I've Ever play with bass

[TheVdog12]

He has the sniffles

[Mario113645]

Jim Root XD

[BruckiHimself]

love his sound...fuuuuck



[ScearyField]

Quelqu'un sait-il dans quel numéro de Guitar Part se trouve les tablatures des exemples et le reste du DVD?

[U2bono95]

i love the intro of duality

[Blackard91]

LOL how stoned can u be to forget ur own solo :D

Slipknot Forever ! :D

[silvr47]

it scares me at 6:08 because jims hand looks like a weird spider ._.

[gustavoramoscl]

if i can play these i can play anything i want

[abc10thousands]

can soneone tell me why is jim always wear a black rubberband on his right palm?

[AuriianeMuse]

C'est Sulfur de SlipKnoT!! Et pas Suffer de Stone Sour!!! --'

[nperkins5]

i love how humorous (spellcheck?) he his

[Sweyn99]

@nperkins5 spell check? you spelled it fine man. :)

[TOMdavies95]

@Sweyn99 We spell it 'humourous' over here in the UK. Kind of like 'color' and 'colour' etc...

[caquinhocoments]

I wish he was my father *-*

[abc10thousands]

@caquinhocoments me too!

[sac1420]

@caquinhocoments hahahahahaha xD!!!

[MrSatanochio]

@caquinhocoments He`s an awesome guy. But dude... how would you feel if your kid would say that about some man ? Be serious...

[irishsoldier747]

ALL IVE GOT IS INSANE!!

[bildrijuli]

awful tone

[MrCORN1BREAD]

@bildrijuli may be aweful to you, but good to everyone else

[04GUITARPLAYER04]

@MrCORN1BREAD hey it ok he or maybe she still doesn't know what REAL music is

[MrCORN1BREAD]

@04GUITARPLAYER04 that was so creative withe the he or she comment. the tone in this video is different than his others. also, mick is better than jim

[MrCORN1BREAD]

@04GUITARPLAYER04 if you think slipknot isnt real music (which it is to lots of people) then dont watch their videos, thats pretty easy for someone even like you to understand.

[04GUITARPLAYER04]

@MrCORN1BREAD what slipknot is like my fav band.....jerk

[04GUITARPLAYER04]

@MrCORN1BREAD and mick better than jim? really? jim is the main guitar player in slipknot and in stone sour. mick is the rhythm guitar player in slipknot. if you dont believe me look up interviews with mick he even says he wants his RHYTHM tone to be big he also mentions that he is the rhythm player too. and jim really has better solos than mick will ever make and yeah sure mick is fast but not as dynamic as jim.but they are booth really good

[MrCORN1BREAD]

@04GUITARPLAYER04 i never said mick was better than jim, i dont know where you got that from, and both of them have really big/fat rhythm sounds. and yes, theyre both really good players. I never paid attention to who was lead and who was rhythm, i just listen to their music.

[marilynknotborgir]

3:45 rofl

[XJAPANhideLOVE]

かっこよすぎる　最強にcooooooooooool

[TheJman555ify]

Who else noticed how he says essentially A LOT???

[Qminoo]

did you see his how he made his happy face when he started playing verse riff for Duality? you can say he's loving it :D

[XSuperSnipesX69]

his laugh at 0:44 its funny

[XSuperSnipesX69]

how come my strings dont do that whammy sound when i bend them like at 0:48

[MartyFriedmanRulez66]

@XSuperSnipesX69 pinch/artificial harmonic I don't know the science behind it but that's the effect you get ask your guitar teacher about them, or look them up online, usually done quite subtly with the thumb but I'm a retard and do them with my pinky

[fbforlife23]

@XSuperSnipesX69 its called a pinch harmonic (squelies) it wont make that sound unless you do that

.

[YourMentalBreakdown]

@XSuperSnipesX69 Like everyone else said, pinched/artificial harmonic. Basically when you pick the note, you want your thumb to sort of hit the string right after the pick, but try not to actually stop the note itself. It's a pain in the ass to get the hang of, haha xD

[drummingdude47]

He makes me wanna play guitar. Im a drummer

[90alexandros]

5:27 the subtitles say suffer

[Deerfarmer96]

wtf, just new songs...

[christopherperez1]

5:12 this should be a song verse

[christopherperez1]

can sum1 please explain 2 me wtf tat black band is on his fingers ???

[MartyFriedmanRulez66]

@christopherperez1 a hair elastic to hold his hair in a pony tail, I do the same thing lol

[y000ut]

Not Suffer by stone sour but Sulfur by slipknot !!!

[ScottScott12345]

As I'm not a guitar player... what does 'shapes' mean?

In simple terms :).

[Tiago615]

@ScottScott12345 its basically padrons that repeat in different frets or strings

[kornsepable]

YEEEAA SE LA RIFA

[GermanJimRoot]

why is at 1:22 the fingerboard maple an not ebony? :o

[Derekbasscovers]

@GermanJimRoot he just did it for looks, black body with ebony neck, white body with maple neck.

[GermanJimRoot]

@Derekbasscovers i mean his fingerboard not his neck ..

[Derekbasscovers]

@GermanJimRoot same answer

[SouthEastPunkRock]

he's having hangover?

[i0like0water]

LOL, anyone notice the smile on his face as he starts of duality (right at the begginig) hes like "Hell yea!" xD

[SuperRadioactiveGirl]

I could watch him play guitar for ever...

[Stirfrygoblin]

Mick should've beat the shit out of him for forgetting that solo lol

[WayneWiblin]

Until today I never tried B tuning let alone A but this is really really low for me. Feels like the A (E) string is just been put on the guitar. Also what impresses me is the harmonic in duality is played on the low string...really amazes me he can make those strings do the harmonic so high

[Hallman88]

@WayneWiblin its actually really easy to get that harmonic with the guitar tuned down so low. the lower you tune the easier i think it is to do pinched harmonics. I pretty much can get those harmonics when i play duality or psychosocial.

[Daver869]

somehow, Jim looks like he could be Yngwie Malmsteen's son!

[blindness7]

@IwonYou121 yep ;)

[pudgieluv]

Pfff... I could do that with my feet :), It's sickening how easy he makes the solo look.

[zombieslovebacon]

whats that thing around his fingers?

[stefanosmetal]

@zombieslovebacon  hairtie

[zombieslovebacon]

@stefanosmetal oh lol

[TieFan121461]

During the Sulfur tutorial he looks like hes barely touching the strings!!!!! :O such mastery :O

[tnastylax25]

I love jim!!! I love the slipknot sound. And its awesome that he makes up the solos on stage. They put on a hell of a show.

[Pantera4Ever1]

I Kinda Want a Steroided Telecaster Like That

[1R1SHxSN1P3R]

its not sulfer @ jeffhendrickx its duality

[animevatar]

@1R1SHxSN1P3R Dude WTF are you talking about hes talking about Sulfur at 5:28 not duality, duality is at the begining

[SatyrX09]

Jim looks young when he's wearing his mask lol

[GorbyTyns]

Cool men)

[cejason]

jim says slow, maybe to him! to me its still like micks slow aka FUCKING CHCUK NORRIS FAST

[daxazzbg]

i love john too :D:D:D:D

[drummingdude47]

his guitar sound freaking amazing. love that tone

[MetalMakesMeEargasm]

That fucking overdrive is addictive, I love hearing him play!

[blindness7]

This not the best guitarist but he is fucking funny !!!

[rockgodfather]

Yea

[yekshemesh4alig]

That second Sulfur riff he plays (with the fast hammer-ons and pull-offs) is classic Slipknot awesomeness!

[soberanoc1]

jim é o melhor meu idolo,great guitarist

[DiegoxXLol]

5:25 to 5:27 the power of metal changes his guitar xDD

[DiegoxXLol]

@DiegoxXLol sorry 5:23 to 5:28 xD

[dem0aikido]

hes sweet :p

[thepacci1]

1:45 FAIL ! :D hahah :Z

[Gerbilsftw]

WANT that guitar :I

[MartyCeha]

I can see Jim learned to play guitar the exact same way I am learning it now. I know nothing about music theory, If I need to I'm able to perform some alternate picking, but I avoid it when I can, I am very lazy on learning techniques and therefore I can't even solo properly although I sometimes create something that sounds really cool. fuck yeah, in 20 years I'll be like him

[dimdim51]

8 guys prefer Mick Thompson

[DGENERATE07]

its actually better not to play the same thing twice and play how you're feeling at that moment, go listen to the man that is john frusciante, just saying....

[m913623]

HE STILL ROCK WHEN HE MESSED UP XD [SIC]

[Mistik91]

terrible tone....



[vassilli19910666]

anyone actually know what mode he's in or the shapes he's using..couse i cant get it from "umm something like that"..."that was close"...the dude cant' play the same thing twice lol....

[AeroRogue]

haha some of his fans probably can play better than him lol.

[xInsidious]

Is he using a pedal?

[TheRedSandwitch]

anyone else realize they spelt example wrong to each song? :L

[MCchuckers]

whats with the rubber band

[carlotrixx]

that rock

[46825915]

James é foda, sem mais...

[jensi18]

James Root's thoughts: "How the fuck am I supposed to remember every song I've been a part of?" James Root's words: "Hahaha, something like that.."

[nocneil12345]

he can't play his own songs...weak^^

[Zachriah1]

@nocneil12345 Shut up, we all make mistakes so haha. That's what makes us human.

[chaostftk]

if slipknot used floyd rose, then psychosocial would sound awesome!

[rickyvangooberblat]

@chaostftk cool story bro. but no.

[din90ify]

3:45 lol!

[barata77]

Muito bom James

[BloodyDespise]

Psychosocial's solo slowed down sounds like some kind of ancient Egyptian sound.

[BloodyDespise]

0:56 Evil smile

[XxSTRlKERxX]

1:21 Instant Guitar Change :O

[BenREVengenz1]

@XxSTRlKERxX different tuning meens different guitar for jim :D

[Maggotsolider777]

ya know.....kind of thing

[coreytaylorguitar15]

Is Jim using the amp distortion or his he using a pedal?

[itBLEEDSitBREATHS]

he doesnt give a fuck... was that it? close enough fuck it its jimmy

[TieFan121461]

The verse riff for Sulfur took me FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to learn XP very hard indeed...Slipknot is really among the elite that all of metal has to offer :D

[dan2212089]

@TieFan121461 lol, Need i say more.

[UmbRa52]

3:45 Ta hahHAHAHAhaha

[yul008]

k wena su video lo maximo de la ptmr!!!

[DooMERful]

If anyone is wondering the black guitar is tuned to drop b

[shrinksta]

@DooMERful i was :P

[lala3536]

You know i noticed these people completely twisted his words cuz i like typed the stuff on the botom on google translate n the subtitles were saying that he was talking about stonesour but he really wasnt

[ScottScott12345]

3:45, his laugh makes me laugh XD.

[PapaParkNot]

"something like that" haha he's awesome

[ToxicityGuitar]

pourquoi dans les sous-titres il parle de Stone Sour??? genre la sale traduction...

[lala3536]

His laugh is contagious! i <3 him n i <3 slipknot n jim has such a good personality i just love him so much

[Timeforunleash]

Holy shit, laugh @ 3:46... wtf... xD

[bobsta3000]

@lesbianseegullmaster music should be fun, if you take it serious it becomes boring

[TheGuitarkid619]

@bobsta3000 i totally agree with u :)

[giocco5464]

at 5:26 his guitar turnes from white to black!!!

[OBSIDIANdubstep]

@giocco5464 very observant :P

[mustkillosama2]

Drop B?

[metalchickie29]

i love jim!!!!!!!! he is the best!!!!!!

[hishredda]

"somewhere in that neighborhood" i almost shit myself

[elwulfo666]

i've seen him live together with stonesour and every time corey was telling a story jim turned off the volume of his guitar and improvised something

it was a great concert and if you a see guitarist doing something like this live you know he likes what he's doing and he belongs on that fucking stage infront of you

[The12754]

the way he plays it is very different from the tab books i had like when he played before i forget that was similar but was played different does anybody no why

[KonBlues]

Chansons, hahaha. Chansons de Lise. A po polsku Sam se poliże! I lick myself.

[philipkatsotas]

where can i find the guitar at 1:24

[dmickey619]

@philipkatsotas well both those guitars are the same just a different color and a different tuning..if you want the white telecaster at 1:24 you should google "jim root signature telecaster"..but they're about $1,100..

[jeffhendrickx]

wtf?? Suffer by Stone Sour???

its Sulfur by Slipknot idiots!

[Nation609]

@jeffhendrickx what the hell.. really? people are just throwing out names with research...? I am angry of this Post Gaga/Bieber world we live in!!!

[blindness7]

@jeffhendrickx I think he mean I find the riff of sulfur when he was with stone sour.

[LaD8494]

@jeffhendrickx you are the idiot stone sour have a song named suffer ...and yes slipknot have a song named sulfur ...google it moran

[jeffhendrickx]

@LaD8494 hey retard, he says sulfur and he is playing sulfur by slipknot! and they say its suffer

moron! read and listen b4 u comment!

[heavyretard123]

I love how he doesn't know how he exactly plays the solos xD still very kickass tho im not complaining

[ikdsjOFFICIAL]

 dudes wonerful

[Scarecrow6459]

Jim and Mick are better Synester gates for sure , and I'm not sure about Dimebag. He might be, but he is heavily overated.

[fodassenaosei]

@Scarecrow6459 man stop talking about things you don't know! Dimebag heavily overated??? No one will never be as good as Dimebag!

[Scarecrow6459]

@fodassenaosei I know enough. I'v heard my share of his work, and he is very good, but people try to pretend like he is the greatest guitatist to ever walk the earth, but he's not, end of storry. I play guitar, and know he isn't THE best, but he is very good. Personally I think Jeff Waters is better, in many ways. I'm also a fan of Pantera, so I;m not just being an ideot.

[hothotcoconut]

@Scarecrow6459 Agreed Jeff Waters is better but dude u cant say that Dimebag is overrated cmon and Syn Gates is better than Jim and mick gotta face! He is probably as good as Slash and Slash is overrated!

[Scarecrow6459]

@hothotcoconut I'v heard both their work, and I think at least Mick is better, Technical and otherwise. And i'm just saying because I always hear how great Dimebag is, but he isn't to me. Maybe in Groove metal, but he isn't as good as people think. Slash is overated agreeded :P

[999m4em]

@hothotcoconut slash is very overrated i agree with you!!!
