    He was a great guitar teacher! I took lessons from him years ago at Ye Olde Guitar shop in Des Moines. He got me into doing sweep arpeggios. I learned a lot just from watching his playing technique. Precise and brutal! Really cool guy too. I wish I could have taken lessons from him longer. A few months after I started lessons he had to leave to record on Slipknot's first major label release. He came back and we continued lessons for a few weeks. After that he had to leave for Ozzfest and I think he's been pretty busy since then :)

      I know the comment is six years old (Jesus time flies...) but I'm saying this more as motivation rather than insult and it isn't directed to you only but to everyone who reads.
      Being from Des Moines in ye olden days these guys were probably very isolated, I know that was the case with Mick, who sat in his room and played guitar 6 hours every day, Prince also shared the same tale, Prince's room mates see him practicing guitar leads at 6pm, come home from partying at 11pm he is still on that same chair practicing guitar leads as if he hadn't moved an inch.
      What I'm trying to say is, the words talent/talented have been truly skewed, it's a simplification and I completely understand you didn't mean any disrespect, but to me it does come of disrespectful.
      I hate when people call me talented, or "rhythmically gifted" I didn't know jack shit about holding a groove, hell I didn't understand it 5 months in... I can go on but I don't want to sound egotistical it's not my goal here.
      Imagine if today you put in the work, imagine if this guy played guitar at least an hour in 2 days these last 6 years, he would be a MACHINE today. So reader, your life is in your hands, everything you hear and see in the human realm is achievable by YOU, it's on YOU how bad you want it. Fuck the "grind", it's livin' and breathin' it mothafucka!
      I hope I helped someone, this doesn't even have to be guitar related. I'm ready to crush my local scene and show them what hard work sounds like. Good luck to yall!!!

      Mick is a huge Death Metal guy. So were Joey and Paul, they all played in Death Metal/Grind bands before the Knot. There’s a reason the older records sound so damn brutal.
      Now on his guitar skills, yes. He is deceptively good, he is a learned player and his downpicking is ridiculous. He motivated me to practice it religiously.

The world doesn't revolve around you. They are the ones with recognized names. They are the ones with recognized looks. They are the ones that play for huge crowds. Just saying.

    I don't really like Slipknot that much anymore but they were the band that got me into really heavy stuff so I still respect them. Mick Thompson obviously has a lot of skill just like Jimmy.

    Great shit, I love that Mick was a guitar instructor for years before making it with Slipknot. He really fits a lot of good advice into this video that doesn't necessarily apply to just Surfacing but any music you might be working on.

    Mick and james are so huge! make the guitars look like toys. I think they are quite underrated, Im glad these videos exist so we can see how they are without the band.

    If you don’t play guitar. There is no possible way to wrap your mind around how talented Mick is. FOR A MAN WITH HUGE HANDS AND LONG FINGERS TO MOVE THAT FAST ON A NECK THAT SMALL AND NEVER MISS A NOTE IS TRULY FING AMAZING. NO DOUBT. MICK YOU ARE BADASS. BUT IT DOESN’T COME OVERNIGHT ITS A LONG TIME TO GET TO THIS LEVEL. I LOVE IT.

      @@jimknight7666 There are such guitarists, as Tosin Abasi, or Tim Henson, and I'm pretty sure, that there are even better ones, whom we don't know about. So, I don't think, that saying "he's not best" is an offence. Remember, "if you're think you're best at something - there is a Chinese guy, that can do this even better".

    I remember going home 14, only using schools internet to watch Jim root and mick Thompson guitar lesson during lunch (I had no internet lol), not even eat till I got home and practicing HOURS with pure enjoyment because I felt cool playing slipknot songs and actually learning them : D... I’m glad I grew up with talented ass guitarists like mick and Jim because to this day they inspire me and I’m proud of myself : D.. I like to play more like Jim as time went on and just practice silky legato stuff over variations of major scales, like he does.
