[raulsolis72]

[2010METALFAN]

dude its not that big of a fuking shocker. every one fucks up

[gbrennie]

he actually does forget how to play it if you watch the full tutorial, there's two parts i think this is on the second one ;)

[isaacwukk]

you just...paused the audio or something...lulz

[SeGaSaTuRn1994]

i have a question why does he allways wear that little band around his fingers? iv allso seen kirk from metallica do the same some1 plz tell me? is it to keep the fingers together and not move

[Prskati]

@SeGaSaTuRn1994 U seen Tenacious D? It's quite much the same thing, except in irl it's a little band around the fingers.

[MrGH3Man4]

@SeGaSaTuRn1994 Probably to stop the back part of the hand (Closest to the pinkie finger) rubbing against the guitar strings which Causes the guitarist's hand to bleed if the band or Tape (in Kirk's case) is not there

[Metala7xfan2489]

He probably forgot after playing with stone sour so much lol

[RafaelFrusciantef]

TELECASTER \../

[XoDWeaver]

Sounds line psychosocial to me.

[CaiMahon]

Quite Clearly edited. Why would you even bother? :L

[txlastrebel]

Slapnuts suck

[HeadacheVillain]

Well its obvious that its fake.

[wolfthing11]

The uploader overdubbed his audio over this.

[UnilyjZadrot]

@wolfthing11 nope. This is real

[supern00b25]

@UnilyjZadrot Nope, it's fake.

[UnilyjZadrot]

@supern00b25 You should see the whole video /watch?v=9SMhluyGh5Y

Starting from 1:30. He fucks up both rythm and solo part. But he still kick ass thou

[UnilyjZadrot]

[Demonboy121]

[gabrieljlemay]

Fake.

[MrGrizmint]

FOR ALL THE IDIOTS SAYING THIS IS FAKE. IT IS NOT FAKE. I THOUGHT IT WAS FAKE TOO BECAUSE ITS SO BAD BUT WATCH /watch?v=9SMhluyGh5Y&feature=r­elated AND SKIP TO 1:38 AND YOU WILL SEE THAT IT IS INDEED NOT FAKE. ALL YOU SAYING IT IS FAKE ARE IN DENIAL... THERE IS NO NEED FOR THAT SINCE JIM ROOT IS A FUCKING MONSTER ON GUITAR. NOTHING FAKE ABOUT THAT.

[metalheadgod73]

sorry he did play it... but not like that!!

[metalheadgod73]

i got the dvd from the lesson and he doesn't play psychosocial as far as I can remember

its a french guitar dvd

[METAL420weed]

[galking371]

[jasbaer1995]

[jamesbaruc]

he must have lost the Pick Of Destiny!

[Captainfluffcake666]

Jim is British?

[jordannw2010]

which masks he again?

[MrMarkcastro]

@jordannw2010 the smile with the zipper, the tall and skinny one

[Danzairox]

hey does anyone know what he has round his strumming fingers?

[TheFadingLife]

DUBBED

[MrGrizmint]

@TheFadingLife thats what i thought at first too.. but sadly it isnt. hes still awesome, probably just needed a lil more warm up. his "crappy" playing is like way better than most peoples peak playing

[MalcicFilm]

In case you guys didn't know, this is FAKE AS HELL. I have that DVD and it's not like that.

[MrGrizmint]

@MalcicFilm i would watch that DVD again because thats exactly how it is... lol

[04GUITARPLAYER04]

@MalcicFilm IT AINT FAKE LOOK UP THE INTERVIEW!

[yair3k]

@MalcicFilm men whats the dvd name il appreciate it 

[emodudee]

@MalcicFilm Erm it is on the dvd you dumb fuck, its everywhere on youtube including the official channel....

[Blitzbok]

@MalcicFilm It may as well be real for what the actual song is worth.

[marcellatorreXX]

@MalcicFilm He is jim without mask, stupid.

[MA4VA]

@MalcicFilm it's not fake .. :)

[Borrisbeaner]

@MalcicFilm sorry to say this but it isn't fake, I also have the dvd and this is what he played, only this video obviously has worse video and audio quality.

[brenhampsten]

what does he have wrapped around his fingers? is it some sort of thing that keeps from dropping your pick?

[rocksock00444]

@brenhampsten Its probably a hair tie. I always keep mine wrapped around my fingers just an easy way to hold them if youre male.

[A1v5p9]

Все мы люди и всем нам свойственно что-нибудь да забывать)

[Blackenedin92]

if you cant tell its dubbed then thats sad

[XxSharkBatexX]

Before I Forget... oops, too late!

[aidyspady999]

omg its andy serkis

[twistedpsychoful1]

DUDE SLIPKNOT IS BETTER!!!

[rulonramirez]

He only plays telecasters and yeah he has so many songs to remember being in slipknot and stone sour

[kraxic]

@otm3094 SSSSLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY­EEEEEEERRRRRRRR!!!!!!

[aidster77]

@otm3904 slipknot

[robinBjordison]

@otm3904 you know.....there is no BETTER! you can't say: SlipKnoT is better than KoRn, or KoRn is better!

you should find your favorite bands and you should not think about who's better! Period

[rob61091]

Good to see slipknot still sounds like they play through tin cans....



[lokboxx]

At least he remembers "Before I Forget"

[blowpipe92]

@lokboxx

LOL!!!!!

[MrBREEBAH]

thats such a beast tone...

I WANT IT

[m1ghtym1g1t86]

that sounds so good i just peaked

[MatthewUrsaki]

Why is he playing that with a Tele?

[Spedly]

@MatthewUrsaki Because its his signature guitar, for fuck sakes

[MatthewUrsaki]

@Spedly

Oh sorry, did I offend you? I was just wondering. I know nothing about Skipknot. I am just used to seeing Metal Guitarist use ESPs, Ibanez, something more suiting.

[Spedly]

@MatthewUrsaki haha offend me? No. He used to use Jacksons, PRS, etc and now has the signature tele. It has EMG's, which is a huge part of lots of metal players tones

[MatthewUrsaki]

@Spedly

Oh, It does have EMG's. How did I miss that? I got EMG's too actually. On my ESP LTD MH-1000 Deluxe/.

[Spedly]

@MatthewUrsaki Nice guitar, bro. I love ESP's. I like EMG's as well, but have never realy had a guitar that I could swap the pickups for them. I play PRS so theres no way Im changin the pickups in those

[Ndanny111]

LOL what a legend!

[uarkdrummer]

I just think he was stoned as fuck probably lol

[MasterdeBater44]

HES MY NEIGHBOR

[archibald0dickworth]

@MasterdeBater44 you serious?

[MasterdeBater44]

@archibald0dickworth you dead serious, he lives one street behind e in florida

[archibald0dickworth]

@MasterdeBater44 thats cool man :D

[funofsk8ing]

he's a great player, the only thing he had trouble with were the pinch harmonics, thats why he kept repeating, and it is tough to do pinch harmonics in frickin drop A tuning...

[bagelisdelish]

thats because of all the drugs. i only hope that one day i can be so high that i fuck up my own song.

[andresortiza7x]

Fucking terrible.

[Gustavo34254]

It´s james not jim

[prosteeze]

wait.....NU METAL ON A TELECASTER!!! how.

[musicain5]

@prosteeze agressive pickups

[maggotKaje]

he's high that's why he f***ed up.

[AaronOkelly]

@maggotKaje ohh good thing you coverd up that bad word incase any children are waching!

[maggotKaje]

@AaronOkelly i didn't. A certain software in my PC does it automatically. Oh and I just turned it off! FUCK YOU!!!

[AaronOkelly]

@maggotKaje JAYYSUS! language! looks like youre software thingymobob is working....

[ibanezman04]

fucking dick, he should be burned for doing that to a telecaster

[toolshopmarathon]

Why does this look fake to me/

[paddymoep]

"Hey guys, let's be more heavier, lately i think people are calling us " everything but metal "!

Yeah right! ..but, how to be heavier..??

TUNING MORE STEPS DOWN

*heavy*"

[IanTheDinosaur]

Do you want a little guitar with that distortion?

[Severynce]

Anybody have any idea what amp he's using..?

[DarkAssassin2259]

...that's jim root? awesome :3

[Anight7mareX]

......he just muted parts of the video. You guys are gullible as shit.

[slipknot666guitar]

@Anight7mareX and your dumb as shit he did actually forget it search up james root master class part 2

[Anight7mareX]

@slipknot666guitar

Nice grammar, Slipknot666. One slipknot video was bad enough.

[slipknot666guitar]

@Anight7mareX dont fucking watch it then if your just going to complain about it

[TheFishHasAIDS]

awesome guitar



[AVFC0711]

how can you tell the difference. all he has to do is pm the low b or whatever its tuned to, and pick random pinch harmonics or ho's and shit

[GuitarFretMan]

I like his technique because I have a similar one,but these pinch harmonics...Awww,my poor ears...

[aws55]

For the record...Joey wrote the guitar parts to this.

[dylanRejected]

and no effort...... LENGEND!!

[BigAlbinoDonky]

Of course this guy can't play his own songs, they were written by the record company's writers to appeal to angsty nu-metal loving teens. Nice guitar tone though.

[cars812]

@BigAlbinoDonky oh really?

[minoux02]

@BigAlbinoDonky wasnt it the illuminati?

[xvigil75]

@BigAlbinoDonky if you knew anything about slipknot you would know this is not the case

[TheLeonSG]

i bet he has the tabs in his mask

[TheAndrewBassist]

@TheLeonSG LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[icedood3000]

what is that around his fingers?

[Guimaraes2812]

This Guitar is Awsome!

[dartminator]

What you guys think about this: Jim Root fucks up in Guitar Hero style at 0:07!!! So that makes this fuck up fucking awesome!!

[TheJeako]

i have the exact same guitar :O

[Enkaged]

what kind of fender is that i kinda want one =o

[TheMetalhead804]

@Enkaged Its he's signature model.

[Enkaged]

@TheMetalhead804 thanks mon. i think ill just frankenstein my bullet strat. i wanna be unique ha =p

[EddieEdge777]

@Enkaged Telecaster. 

[reignofrock]

He's allowed to forget. With all the Slipknot, Stone Sour and songs he just likes to play it's a lot to remember. I used to know a couple hundred songs. I'm lucky if I remember 50 of them. Look at bands like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, they're always having to relearn their own songs. Hence why they usually play them differently because they pretty much tab their own songs by ear.

[gnrcr]

@reignofrock Fuck him, if Dream Theater can remember they're whole catalog, how come he can't remember the most fucking commercial song ever ???

[jackfknsparrow]

@gnrcr cos he not self indulgent and up his own ass like dream theater.

[gnrcr]

@jackfknsparrow That has nothing to do with how they remember their catalog.

[01Niky34]

hes the man!!!!

[xalavan]

Awwww he's so cute :D

[richardxx9011]

I like how in the discription it says he forgot a song he wrote himself like he was talking a crap about him... first i dont think anyone should talk shit if they dont play because only someone that plays and writes there own shit do forget too sometimes after awhile... yeah like someones going to fuckin remember all of like the 90 songs they wrote.. i almost have a cd done and still forget atleast part of one of the song after not playing for awhile...

[AnnaramaTV]

They got so fuckin many songs, it'sonly human to forget some!

[88fanforlife]

hey pinched harmonics can be a bitch sometimes

[TheTrenchface]

lol oh my god i love jim root!!!!!!!!!!!!! he is so amazing love that tone

[TheApezzman]

he must be smokin some goood shit =P

[DateBayoh]

Nice error  :D

[bobgile]

He had his guitar strings lightened

[woody280486]

it looks like he's barely putting any pressure on the strings when he plays... I don't mean to sound guitar nooby, but how's he doin that? I'm new to guitar and one prob I have is pressing too hard on the strings....

[RadioNothing]

@woody280486 he has his action really low and probably has lighter strings, making them more loose. After you play for a few years, you start to get like that. But still, dont press hard on the strings-- it gets you into a bad habit.

[ERIC141520]

lol maybe he was just tired or high.

[furr0ci0us]

Dear Lord... I hope that top rated comment is sarcasm.  That was so freaking sloppy.

[RIPGLITCH]

that's such a sick tone! really clear and tight

[rbeforme]

I fail to see how that sucked in any way.

[ragggggy38]

Don't worry about sucking at pinch harmonics kids, Jim Root cant even hit 'em! haha

[mysteriousDSF]

"he wrote himself" - from where do you know it was Jim who wrote this riff?

[M0NsTer20010]

i wish he played like this in psychosocial

[richardxx9011]

@M0NsTer20010 What do you mean...?

[kungfudragon99]

his voice just here reminds me of dimebag :D

[Boneworks94]

Even though he fucked it up, it was still fucking awesome..

[20CentFish]

wow that some voice that jim root has

[filmcoolstuff]

Wouldn't it have been funny if he had forgotten Before I Forget.

[DashtheHedgeh0g]

thats not Jim thats Mick isnt it Jim's hair is shorter

[holydecay1313]

@DashtheHedgeh0g nope. it's Jim

[sunnysideuplife]

@DashtheHedgeh0g its jim, mick doesnt use telecaster

[joelykidda]

As good as it gets, that was shit

[MyFenderOwnsYours]

He is BETTER than Mick Thomson by MANY levels. Look at the live performances how sloppy Mick is compared to his clean sound.

[ViciousDave4Life]

@MyFenderOwnsYours Mick does bass guitar, much more simple than main chorus guitar. Jim Root does main guitar rhythm.

[MyFenderOwnsYours]

@ViciousDave4Life Mick doesn't do bass guitar, he's supposed to be lead guitarist, even though Jim seems to be playing (and improvising) more leads and in a more effective way. Paul gray was the one who played bass guitar.

[Bludhoundz8]

@MyFenderOwnsYours I agree. Jim is the creative mastermind behind the guitars in both Slipknot and Stone Sour. Mick is a fast shredder, but thats all he has going for him.

[MyFenderOwnsYours]

@Bludhoundz8 Still, "fast" but sloppy. I think he (and slipknot in general) should stop playing their songs much faster than they are at studio versions. He screws up when he goes to play a lead.

[Bludhoundz8]

@MyFenderOwnsYours I think it has to do with his memory. Jim Root often times forgets things, more than most people. But that doesn't seem to be an issue anymore, so they should slow down a bit. But tell that to their drummer, lol...
