3:43 if you can get the shapes down his talking about here, then you’ll eventually be able to kill it all over the board. Three note per string scale will open you up to a new way of playing. It’s awesome. He breaks this down a lot better in his DVDs. This vid is the hardest one to keep up with. I’ve been practicing this type of playing every day for over a year now. Root is truly the man, if you pay attention you’ll learn a lot!
Jim's an unbelievably good guitarist. Will someone tell me what the flying fuck is on his pick hand? Is that like a magic band that keeps your fingers together so you can shred better? I've never seen such a thing!
It's really cool that he showed off both the studio version and the live version of what he played in "Before I Forget"! Most people would probably just pick one (usually the one that's on the album) and just leave it at that.
Phenomenal guitar player! Him and Seven both have incredible skill! Slipknot has some of the tastiest thrilling fast metal licks. I enjoyed this anything by these musicians is great to see broken down and explained
Revive Me I have the Ray Gun No no no Jim I remember has only recorded guitar on 2 songs from the self titled album all the other ones were done by Mick and Josh Brainard who was later replaced by Jim.
Kane Jones Gehenna isnt a very popular song but you can search tabs on google and look for a page called songster, is really easy to learn it that way (unless you do it by ear)
I know people say he looks the way he does because of drugs, but all things considered, he seems to be there, like, alert, aware, and conscious, and I mean, in all reality, again, all things considered, he actually looks pretty nice. Really glad he quit with the drugs though.
He reminds me of Guitarists like Dimebag and Munky when he trying to explain like man idk what scale im playing it just clicks like his theory is self taught when you play long enough it just becomes second nature and he makes it fun to learn not its in this key this mode this scale shit not everything is perfect
Thank you for this. ♥️♥️♥️Pretty sure this is my favorite thing. This humble, baby-faced genius is so amazing to watch, laughing and playing here - and then he turns into that scary-intense, zipper-mouthed, sexy, evil jester guitar beast... Damn. I *like* it. A lot. Corey Taylor is a tremendous talent but also the world’s biggest dumbass for EVER letting him go. Sheesh. 🙄 Jim ... let’s get in *touch* ... 💋🎸♥️😁❗️
In my younger days, I had an early 70's tele. Plugged it into my Marshall and almost went deaf with the feedback. Twangy as heck. No EMG's back then. Good work man!
@@daniyalaftab974 same, it's pop or rap here. I only know a single person and that's a guy I met from an Instagram group chat. Metal isn't all that popular here lol
"well luckily I have my B guitar at hand here" holy shit, man! I have two electric guitars! My first, that I don't use, and my baritone........ I tune that from C# down to A😂😂😂

6:05
This melodic guitar always gives me a nostalgic feeling. It doesn’t remind me of anything, it just makes me feel nostalgic.
omfg yes
same
part of it reminds me of the songs i heard on sims 2
I felt that too, and just realized it sounds very similar to Hypnotize from SOAD.
Reminds me of titanic and over the hedge
"i dont know how to play guitar"- jim root
proceeds to start shredding**
will teada on a tele
"I cant remember the solo"
Plays it to perfection
Shane Santora ya kno
Shane Santora ya know man? Ya know
@@Twice_Marvel nice name!
James 'you know' root
Kinda
LMAO I remember watching that one interview and he kept on saying "ya know"
More like James “basically” Root.
@@sharinglungs3226 😂😂😂
Yeah Joey does that too.
He actually looks younger with the beard
Less drugs nowadays
True 👍
I’m a newer fan. And its so odd to see him without a beard.
I love his solo in pyschosocial
I always thought that was Mick lol
@@MusicLover-zq1eh it's both
It's actually Mick I guess
@@54356776 why tho
First is mick then jim.. Jim plays the melodic part of it
Duality is a really fun song to play on guitar. I play it for a quick warm up and it really gets me in the mood to play for hours
Am I the only one that can watch Jim play guitar all day
Sydney Lorenz no youre not
I could too - he acts like it’s so easy to do... mesmerizing 🎸👁👁
I would but my wife, kids and boss would be pissed.
Hell no.
Я только могу смотреть как джои и грает весь день но Джим тоже не плохо играет
Jim root will be proud to see his fan James root
Jim's hair during this period was magnificent.
7:19 those harmonics at the end of that run are just beautiful and sick at the same time, fucking awesome
Basically you know.
tgchan Just like Paul 😂
James root is Jim's twin brother and occasionally fills in for jim when he doesn't feel like playing.
13:47 am i the only one smiling like a kid opening christmas presents when he finally plays the verses riff ?
that melodic part in before i forget reminds me of the intro to SOAD Hypnotize

I like how modest and humble he seems
I would love to play with Jim. I love how he always cracks himself up.
His laugh gave me a reason to live
The guy in the band with the mask is way better
Joey Mone they are the same person
kome iuo How dumb can you get, lmao.
Nikita Vysockii what do you mean, the guy in the video and #4 are both Jim root
Joke idiots
kome iuo *HUMOR* - you don't get it.
Jim's an unbelievably good guitarist. Will someone tell me what the flying fuck is on his pick hand? Is that like a magic band that keeps your fingers together so you can shred better? I've never seen such a thing!
+Eli Rhoades its a hair-tie
Kirk hammet does something similar to prevent being cut by strings
Ty Rivera with tape on his palm ish.
Ty Rivera Takayoshi ohmura have also those rings on his fingers.
Some player use rubber bands or tape to hold tension on their figures to help when picking really fast
It's really cool that he showed off both the studio version and the live version of what he played in "Before I Forget"! Most people would probably just pick one (usually the one that's on the album) and just leave it at that.
Did anyone else yell GO! when Jim did the Before I Forget version
Gavin Dowdy totally lmao
SAME
Absolutely my brethren!!!! GO!!!
I see the fbi all over the metal videos?!?
Howdy partner!

"Thy acknowledges"
- James Root
Yes
Best guitar player in My Books. Always will be. 🤟🏽
ya know...
Basically
Sebastian Tak essentially
Mike Spatola ya know
I remember when the first album came out and people where saying: There´s no solos in the album, this guys doesn´t know how to play guitar...
Viskovitz Actualy Jim was only on 2 songs on the self titled album all the others were by Mick and the former guitar player that Jim replaced
Dew it no, Jim was in all of them
Revive Me I have the Ray Gun No no no Jim I remember has only recorded guitar on 2 songs from the self titled album all the other ones were done by Mick and Josh Brainard who was later replaced by Jim.
You're right! The 2 songs he played were "Purity" and "Me Inside". While the other ones were played by Josh who left the group in 1999.
ARandom User Exactly
Drinking game:
take a shot everytime he says essentially
Metal Life take a shot every time he said "ya know"
Take a shot whenever he says "basically"
Basically
So what you're saying is you want me to die from alcohol poisoning
@@sweettea-ms7ex essentially yes..
Love how this guy doesnt take himself seriously
The part where he admits he doesn't play the same solo every time really hit home lol.
You know? - "James" root
Bradley Harris "y'know" -Brian Molko
Bradley Harris
You know?! - Zacky Vengeance
"You know" - Zakk Wylde
...and Corey Taylor. lol
Bradley Harris don't forget ummm every couple seconds
Bradley Harris 😂
He looks exactly like Andy Serkis in this video. Weird.
Same person. He wore a different mask in Lord of the rings.
🤣
After listening that psychosocial's solo I can't remember how the actual solo sounds 😂
x2
Organic AF!! Root, The Working Man's Guitarist!
From the soul.
He looks and sounds like he doesn't want to be there and then randomly laughs
Probably on tour and tired.
i dont think so. I dont mind being there, but he is just ashamed and nervous that he cannot recall how to play stuff :D
Insta story miatt valaki?😂❤️
Professor Snape shows you how to play slipknot songs
I love the solo in Gehenna. I'd love to see him give a lesson on that. Anybody know where i can find the video?
Kane Jones don't think its exsists
Kane Jones Gehenna isnt a very popular song but you can search tabs on google and look for a page called songster, is really easy to learn it that way (unless you do it by ear)
Utsav Chaudhury FRET12 did a video series with Jim check there
It's basically basic to basically play our songs basically 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah basically
Basically yeah
I love the way he has to play the "solo" of before i forget live.
His voice is so smooth
I know people say he looks the way he does because of drugs, but all things considered, he seems to be there, like, alert, aware, and conscious, and I mean, in all reality, again, all things considered, he actually looks pretty nice. Really glad he quit with the drugs though.
Он тогда не принимал наркотики,он тогда бухал
Im a bass player but look up to him for tecnique and tips
He reminds me of Guitarists like Dimebag and Munky when he trying to explain like man idk what scale im playing it just clicks like his theory is self taught when you play long enough it just becomes second nature and he makes it fun to learn not its in this key this mode this scale shit not everything is perfect
I love how he could remember Psycosocial, a song that HE wrote

I wish he'd show us his "attempt" at Mick's solo in Psychosocial
Oh that would be interesting
That would be interesting to watch
he laugh so much then....
MR. MIRTH he was high as fuck
+Joshua Reynolds no he wasn't
High or not, I love ❤️ it
Bro he looks so different without his beard
Ati 6 évvel ezelőtti munkája... 💚💖
I’ve never seen this mask before.
Who would have thought? A Tele... Country music's favorite axe spitting volcanic ashes...
Johnny57 a Tele body with EMGs.. LUL yep definitely a country music delicacy
In my younger days, I had an early 70's tele. Plugged it into my Marshall and almost went deaf with the feedback. Twangy as heck. No EMG's back then. Good work man!
Never underestimate a Tele...
Root has the best metal style
Amikor még Ati nem tudta, hogy egyszer ő is zenész lesz :D
They say popular songs so……
Where’s at least some Iowa songs and self titled album songs?
Jim root here looks like a Pakistani aunt, trust me I live here, almost all the aunts have this hairstyle...
It took me 2 years to get here, but I finally found another Pakistani slipknot fan
@@krispinwah2784 omg me too I literally know NO Pakistanis who like Slipknot

Jeje, Jim es siempre tan simpático. Me alegra el día verlo reír. 🥺👐
shit, dude's looks so much better today I almost forgot... the new haircut gets him all the chicks i fuckin swear
He's a sympathetic guy... YA KNOW? 😁
6:05 when you hear the Before I Forget bridge riff out of context, and think you're in a New Found Glory intro...
Richi Carter facts bro! Spot on 😂😂😂
his voice is addicting
So we aren't gonna talk about his hair?
The way Jim just.... Exists.... It's pretty fucking moist.
Ki jött miután Paul megosztotta insta storyában ezt?😂
7:37 The sign I do when people laugh at me while playing guitar
damn
The cliffhanger when he first played the before I forget intro aaaahhh
You can see his iconic beard sprouting slightly
He wishes he was like Jim Root.
humble & down to earth.. i like this guy. .
Basically, you know, essentially, I Root.
Damn, Andy Serkis can play guitar.
Man seeing Jim without a beard after a long time feels weird lol..
new drinking game:
take a shot every time he says essentially or basically or ya know
Maaaaaaaaan, that's three quarters of MY vocabulary right there, do you want me to die?
His live guitar is a really interesting. Seems to add extras to the riffs
My ends.....they justifyyyy my meeeans
Jim Basically Root.
Bruh when i saw the thumbnail i was just remembering the Dead Memories riff but i completely forgot it was this song and then.... 0:41
Jim “you know” root.
"I dont know how close was that to the first time i played it "
Ist just so funny !... :)
I like root beer, but Root's beard is something beyond
4:25 that sounds like the riff from KoRns song Good God from their album Life is Peachy
Draw me like one of your french james roots.
oh,if jim uses forever the 1999 mask will be welsome
This vídeo is a treasure! 🏆🎵
Jim is a beast my he makes it look easy
James root?
That’s why I play bass. Because this shit’s hard and i’m lazy
we love Mr. Jim Root!
I love Slipknot, love Jim Root and I own 4 guitars but I refuse to keep a guitar in drop B tuning to play Slipknot songs therefore I don't play them.
COOL STORY BRAH!
Ok.
That was awesome, thanks for uploading
Jim Root is a guitar god!!!!
he looks so much better with shorter hair and his badass beard
i just cant belive it, hes kicking down a great ass solo, but at the same time he plays before i forget like a fucking noob, gosh!
Ah, my blood pressure just lowered so satisfying
Wish I was rich enough to call me guitars by what tuning they’re in.
"well luckily I have my B guitar at hand here" holy shit, man! I have two electric guitars! My first, that I don't use, and my baritone........ I tune that from C# down to A😂😂😂
