    My first guitar was Micks signature mtm1in black. I still have it, also have Jim's signature as well. If it wasn't for Slipknot, I wouldn't have ever been inspired to play guitar.

    Since "The Gray Chapter" (IMO, of course), Mick is one of the most underrated guitarists and I think he can do more and better things if he wanted to. Also great guitar, great guitar tone and of course, great video!

    This cheapest thing is practice down picking all day and everyday because you definitely need that right hand!!!! , he has used VHT pitbulls, Rivera knucklehead or his KR7 (usually you can find one under 1,500), he has used v30,T75, and most recently K100 speakers this is before obviously joining eminence. Seymour Duncan emty blackouts obviously mahogany body, maple neck, and ebony fretboards on the guitars. Hes definitely one of my all time favorite guitarist 🤘🤘

    Tone sounded pretty spot on. Good thing with Mick is that he has a version of his signature that is made overseas that's only around 900 bucks and you still get his signature Blackout pick ups with it. So that combined with a solid computer and the omega plug in you can have his tone for under 2 grand. I'm actually going the route of getting myself a plug in along with a new desktop computer to run it. What kind of studio monitors are you using with your computer?

    The best I can do is a JB Humbucker in the bridge position of my Charvel San Dimas, a Fender Tube Amp, and a limited pedal board. I'm going to have to check with the wife on our budget and buy a second San Dimas (in Specific Ocean of course) and get some EMGs installed...you'll have to talk to her if she mentions something about our daughter's college fund. On a serious note...you are one of my favorite guitar channels...I wish I was already playing when I was your age (I started playing at 41).
