Guitar Lesson (Slipknot's Mick Thomson and James Root)

[DOitHAAAARD]

They are another men in their masks!

[ViniSilva666]

it's me or 3:11 jim's stealing a guitar lol

[sl1pkn0t1100]

jim is sooo much better than mick!

[jmannunez]

they might seem all tough but ive seen the other side of these guys. nice dudes! the lead singer is in Stone sour and he does more of the softer music there.

[zombieslovebacon]

@jmannunez everyone knows that though, lol

[TheRaevin]

Even his tattoos are scared by Mick, they ran off.

[TheJason1025]

when mick doesnt speak , he is like a demon

but when he starts talking he cant stop

[JDK0316191]

It's fucked up because THIS VIDEO was the one and ONLY time I EVER saw that Gray warlock.

[MrRockismypassion]

Mick : sounds like fucking shit! DOG SHIT!

Interviewer: ...

[comawhite151]

Does anyone know how to play the riff Mick Thompson is doing @ 4:15??

[JDK0316191]

@comawhite151 I think if you can't play that riff, and you're a guitarist, you should kill yourself. Preferably beating your own head in with your guitar.

[pokealong1227]

@JDK0316191 you're an idiot, everybody believe it or not is a novice at one point or another, whos to say hes not that good yet

[haggistheman1525]

@JDK0316191 Dude that's the shittiest thing to say to anybody... suck a dick man...

[JDK0316191]

@haggistheman1525 No. Kill yourself, dickhead.

[zombieslovebacon]

@JDK0316191 i dont think that if you cant play a certain riff you have to kill yourself, to be honest everyone starts somewhere, stop giving a show, youre probably not even that good, lol, everyone has their difficulties and that goes with some riffs as well, it only takes practice, dont go tell that to someone who cant play a guitar riff, seriously.

[JDK0316191]

@zombieslovebacon Haha, this guy.

[zombieslovebacon]

@JDK0316191 maybe he just cant do pinch harmonics, dont go saying that too somboody, that fucking low man

[mrkillua25]

where can i learn this 3:44 ?

[SPYDDET]

@mrkillua25 i can teach it to you, i know how to play it

[mrkillua25]

@SPYDDET

really? i'll be very grateful if you teach me

[SPYDDET]

@mrkillua25 sure

[koukouroukou12345]

3:10 best part :D

[augusrockhouse23]

Tony Iommi just walked behind Mick!!!

[amantedelaspichangas]

[roxstar157]

56 PEOPLE ARE BLIND

[TheOzzfest95]

[SzamanBruno]

3:12 HAHAHA! XD

[SOAD9787]

3:12 james fucking buying another gutar lol

[DimebagHetfield696]

3:12 James: 'Yeah I'll take this one... But I'm not paying for it... Oh and the one strapped to me... Um I already had that one when I came in... *shifty*'

[slipknotgogeta]

ha he pauzed and then breethed n sed beetles n stones

[TheDevilmar]

JAMES IS THE BEST

[reddemon242]

how do you make your guitar scream like that :o

[Xx6kanedy9xX]

@reddemon242 pinch harmonics... look it up

[wwemattlord1]

I Love This Guy!

[mURDErfAceD402]

I think its funny that James just casually walks in the backround at 3:12 !!!

[peeps2i]

hungarian scale rulz im hungarien most people dont even know were we are :D

[slayerownzu]

Mick Thompson is GOD!!!

[lickthebubble]

lol jim is like doodle la doodlie do....and stealing guitars 3:11 lol

[rainbow4124]

jim root and mic are badass on the guitar

[facuborges10]

They are awesome but so stupid look at when they answers, they say : aaahm o.O blahblahblah and this is weird but they are still awesome sorry for bad eng

[SotoA25]

I don't know why people say that Slipknot sucks. Each of the are very good at what they do. Maybe we have to understand that they don't play like Iron Maiden (Melodic) or Dream Theater (Progressive). They play what they play... they are Slipknot. Also, when there's 3 or 4 in the band, there's more chance to shine individually. But when there's 9, it's less individual influence on a 5 minute song.

[Nirvanalove1]

LOL it's not enough for jim to have just one guitar so he takes TWO LMAO XD

[jbertsvs]

nice guitar mick

[slipknotking1994]

look like jim stealin at 311

[Xx6kanedy9xX]

even if u dislike slipknot (or another band) you should at least have respect for the people in it. i mean look at mick and jim, it took them years to get where they are now, and they can do things on a guitar that most people cant :)

[varulv234]

@Xx6kanedy9xX Playing fast is a matter of metronome practice. Most ambitious Metal guitarists with 3-4 years or even less could propably do what they do, some better.

[Xx6kanedy9xX]

@varulv234 yeah, but you gotta understand that they dont show there full potential in songs.you've probably noticed that its just a little bit more difficult to play a guitar in front of someone than it is if you were alone. i mean, just look how easily he plays that shit lol.

and altho he is not the best guitarist of all time, i still have respect for what he can do :D

[varulv234]

@Xx6kanedy9xX Yeah, i mean, if you play for a year or two, you can sit in your room and play a few Death Metal songs, but can you do a whole set standing up and banging your head? I propably couldn't. Well, depends on the songs, of course.

[Xx6kanedy9xX]

@varulv234 definitely, i can play few songs pretty decently, but when i try to do crazy shit like headband and play at the same time, its so much harder and i end up failing big time haha.

[varulv234]

@Xx6kanedy9xX Just gotta practice playing relaxed :)

[bbtucci]

jim passing by at 3:11

looks funny

haha

[MeFeige]

@bbtucci He looks like a masked thief haha

[mbillyg101]

Mick is very underrated he is a legendary guitarist which is prbly why he is the lead...

[belinock]

Jim Root is a great guitarist,

slipknot arent my favourite but i have to say the riffs they come up with are fantastic.

[helldera1]

loko.......

[Metal66671]

I think there's more to mick in his guitar playing skills then meets the eye. I wouldn't know though Im a drummer

[ThePokemonJD]

mick and jim are so a good duo!!! it takes a long time to play like them

[vampslayerace]

I'm not a huge slipknot fan anymore, but you can't deny that Mick Thompson and Jim Root have some serious talent.

[manning543]

[SoadAddict91]

[pengapop12]

[TheDarkKnot95]

[fredmikal]

He is playing a BC Rich Warlock, I guess that it is his earlier signature model....

[demonns8]

[clintony3000]

[demonns8]

@clintony3000 I hate Slipcock now they fucking blow now that I come to realize it. I've moved on to better bands, look at how old that comment is.

[Crypted7]

3:11 3:13 surprise!

[BlackMetalDisciple]

its not a warlock.

its a custom coated revenge i believe.

[Threedaysgraace13]

I dont know the tab, but I'm about 90% sure that he is in drop B

[mickdasic]

if its a drop b then its not a DEtuned riff its on C# standard and its E|-0-0-0--1-0-0--0--3-0- the last pinch is the 3 fret A string bend!

[Threedaysgraace13]

W/e I said I was 90% sure that it was Drop B. I wasnt being cocky, I was just trying to be friendly..And I dont need to be corrected...And why would he not be in Drop B? THats the tuning ALL of their songs are in along with Drop A...

[mickdasic]

so am i, im sorry for the way of using my language i wanted to reply actually to the one you replied to but i know its a C# standards cuz he plays a power chord with 3 fingers at 5:07 and i tried playing it and its sounds right in C# but its could just be a B standard

[Threedaysgraace13]

Its cool, sorry I was in a shitty mood when I typed that reply message. But yeah your probably right.

[azrial4421]

his pitch harmonics are perfect and look effortless

[BexiiBaybie]

I love it how james just walks casualy in the background behind mick =)

[ncor10]

What brand Jame's guitar????

[motorheadaregods]

[ncor10]

[ValterSalvador]

[Xxstarry10xX]

3:11 Jim stealing guitars.

[s500i93]

looks like Mick's hand is damaged sometimes when he plays

[jrfps]

at 4:18 that slow riff is from which song/abum?

[StarscreamAyllantu]

It seems that is not a song...

But i have seen Mick doing that same riff in various concerts, live in the Disasterpieces DVD you can see it too...

[TaylorMaggot]

that is no song its an invented riff

[Glarvis]

Not a song.

[shawnhatesy0u]

lol 3:11 Jim stealing guitars in the background

[cannibalonXthedead]

haha lol

[Xxstarry10xX]

lol i like that haha it's funny

[jls0439]

thats more of a shawn/clown thing to do lol

[jrfps]

it´s funny lol

[PsychoKid999]

slipknot had solos in every album their producer edited them out so there were no solos in the first albums but they did have solos

[123123guille123123]

are they going to saparate?

[6metal6wont6die]

no, they sed in their interviews that they'll probs bn around for few more years

they dont think theyll disband

there 2 gud 4 that XD

[larzyyy]

i fucking hate slipknot

but both these fellas are good at playing

but if mick thinks his guitar sucks why doesnt he get a new one:L

and that other fellas guitar looks fucking gay

but i spose theirs nothing wrong with the band

just coreys vocals suck

[kutlijer]

mick's sweep picking arpeggio + shred tips killed them all it was the best

[Jacksonguitarjoe]

Lol you just see Jim walking past at 3: 09 with some guitars in his hands - looks like he's just stealing them xD

[Steve128967]

Their solos are pretty skillz, actually...

I think Mick's "slow, crushing riff" would sound better if it was chorded for a blast of sound, personally. Or maybe its just because its in an amp not a speaker system.

[MyEverConstantSmile]

Why don't they play songs this awesome in Slipknot?

[TheBeardOfSpock]

The producers dont allow it.. Theyre bound to a contract that says it has to maintain as mainstream and easy-listenable as possible.. Recently some producer dude allowed them to have solo's on their new album though.. Fucking laughable

This band is absolute shit, and if you like them btw, then burn yourself and slap your mother for not aborting you.

[MyEverConstantSmile]

Hey I got an idea, get of a fucking band you hate's video, fuck yourself, and don't tell me how to live my goddamn life.

[TheBeardOfSpock]

Hey I got an idea too: stay put, shut the fuck up and then visit your mother (unless you still live with her) and slap her to death and rape her corpse. Pay your sister a visit next, fucking rapist.

Start up the fucking incinerator.

[MyEverConstantSmile]

Hey that was a nice list of actions that have no actual point. "Shut the fuck up"? Oh, really? Who accused who here? Exactly. Now stop watching Slipknot videos if you hate them so much. There's nothing more logical than that.

[TheBeardOfSpock]

Would you like to taste my toes?

[MyEverConstantSmile]

Jesus Christ... quit humoring yourself. Get of the fucking video right now man. I swear, if this wasn't the fucking internet, I'd bust your ass so hard. Your a fucking poser and a loser.

[Buckwizzle17]

dude if you dont like slipknot then why are you watching one of thier videos dumbass idiot
