“I’m not used to playing blindfolded”
*is still 10X better than me*
Same lmao
and 1000x better than me!
And 1000000000x better than me
This made me laugh far too hard 😭
Same! Jim Root is crazy good.
Jim Root- "I'd play this live"!
Fender-🤑🤑
Matthew Howard Fender: Get this man his Jazzmaster signature.
True
@@christopherchuauhang4829 he already has a jazzmaster signature
@@MrSFblack "get this man *his* jazzmaster signature"
Are you able to read?
He actually bought one, not the one from this video.
So nobody noticed that he played Liar's Funeral 1 year before its release ? I find that amazing
yeah and he really played the Meteora live.
Yes! I noticed that too. So cool
He is probably the most underrated guitarist in metal history he is badass at it
@@slipknotandghostlovechild 100 percent
up there with wes borland
Picha mama
Nobody in slipknot is underrated lol
@@herps4life33 I mean I feel like he is over shadowed a lot he definitely isn’t underrated but he’s doesn’t get his credit
"Like a weird Jazzmaster with a Tele setup." Yep.. he nailed it.
Mason Jones only a Master Fender shredder would know
@@pickletarts8196 nah lol, feeling the body shape and hardware is easy, I hardly play fenders and even I would've been able to tell you the same
Mikkel Scott - Guttural Slug/Septic Congestion yup, it’s complimentary to the finesse that is ‘Jim Root’.
Symbolically, Artistically.. Quintessential Root :)
Mikkel Scott - Guttural Slug/Septic Congestion are you actually in guttural slug?
@@Bedroomrips Yeah man
“I dig it can I have it?”
-Jim Root
lol ya like he had to buy one
"Ya know?"
-Jim Root
@@jonesjones94 he got the one from this video and put emg singlecoils in 😂
@icon I was literally gonna comment and be like "featuring Zacky Vengeance"
Finally saw him playing it in a vid from the current tour. Well it's all black now, but it's the same model guitar.
Seeing him play little jazzy scales was such a beautiful thing for a metal guitarist
The more I hear Jim play, the more I think he is massively under utilized in Slipknot. Does he have any other projects he is involved with?
That's what happens with greatness. When you are a great guitar player, you adapt to all environments. He can go from a bluesy jazz style to nu metal
Stone Sour, but
A) He left
B) Pretty sure Stone Sour is done
Slipknot is full of cool, interesting riffs (like the main riff in "Left Behind"), Jim adds a lot of groove into the music like the second verse riff in "All out Life" and they even bust out some crazy solo's when the song has room for it. That's the good thing about Slipknot, they chose when to unleash the guitar solo's instead of forcing them into everything.
@@stupidthefish1979 why is stonesour done?
@@clips1071 Idk I just read that in an interview Corey said “Yeah we’re not really gonna be making music together anymore”
*blindfolded jim: "huh.. single coil.... tele style bridge? jazz master?... feels like a strat headstock maybe 70's..."
*blindfolded me: "huh...... seems to have a neck.... and some strings.... man what am i holding"
Must be bass tbh
Definitely a bass drum
Man... This saxophone really feels strange
This comment made me genuinely laugh lol
"Is this my huntsman horn?"
I would scrape my ass through 5 miles of glass to hear a Jim Root blues album.
i would llove to see jim root and mark Morton make a blues album together
I would scrape my ass through 5 miles of glass to see you scrape your ass through 5 miles of glass to hear a Jim Root blues album.
@@labagaia LMFAO
Hahahaha
I would scrape my ass thru 5 miles of glass to have a quarter of the talent Jim has.
I like the way the man said "sir" when he handed James the guitar.
"I'm not used to playing blindfolded so bear with me"
I can't play that good even when I'm looking at the fretboard
Ull get it soon it only took me 6 months and now i csn hit most notes without looking
What about noe
So the riff he’s playing at 1:53 is “A Liar’s Funeral” 8 months of this being up and had no idea that was a riff from the upcoming album😂
@CRPK not really. He said in an interview and had song and songs demoed out for this album years back. This is only 8 months ago.
Slipknot: *intense sweating*
Me too
Sounds like shit.
@@soulfare333 cope
1:38 "Holy... what?? Ok..."
is probably the greatest single endorsement for any product I've ever heard ever
Like
lol
Brilliant
“Dude, I’m digging the black inlays on it”
The riff playing in the background makes it even more epic.
"I would play this live"
translation with smirk on face - I want this guitar
No, Jim, I do not know what you mean; but I love hearing you talk about it.
brother...
1:50 ‘A Liars Funeral’ from the new Slipknot Album ‘We Are Not Your Kind’
Yup just realized lol
Yep, Nice one Jim. hahaha
I came back here to comment this.
What a sneaky Jester
I wonder if it was already the song at the time, or just a riff they turned into one.
Jim has always had the personality of that cool guitar teacher who does classes from a guitar store. Ausome stuff.
Funny you say that, Mick was a guitar teacher and guitar maintenance man at ‘Ye old guitar shop’ in Iowa, to my knowledge up until just a few years ago. May still be doing it even.
Hi bart
I heard somewhere that he taught the dude from bad wolves I dunno if that is true or not maybe it was mick
@@creepymcpeepers pretty sure it wouldve been jim. Mick ain't a social guy. He hides out when not workin.
@@wardenandriuk9448 yea i agree with you it probably was Jim because Micks wife Stacy said that Mick overall doesn’t like people so
That look on jimmy boys face when he was gonna walk away with the guitar was just so wholesome
Fun Fact: he played one of their tracks, A Liar’s Funeral off of We Are Not Your Kind a whole year before the album at 1:50. He had been holding the riff since Subliminal Versus and couldn’t find a song to fit it on until last year
Fun fact: He's the tallest slipknot member at 6'6.
Wait is he taller then mick?
Yep. Micks 6’4
When it comes to the neck though...
Are you sure he is a "member"? Did Corey confirm?
@@przemoc19225004 hahaha
You know when dogs look like their owners? This guitar looks like Jim Root.
So true. That damn thing screams Jim Root.
I've actually seen some owners look like their dogs over time, especially the Pug and bulldog owners.
You know what? I see it.
Or is it Jim Root who looks like the guitar?
It's strange how true this statement is..
Anyone notice Jim’s mask in the back?
Nice catch, watched this video a number of times and never noticed it.
Um... i dont think you’re a die hard fan if you dont see that
SpartaN_ FN ..... dammit, I’m turning in my maggot membership. I gotta get my head in the game.
There ya go.... thats some loyalty right there
Shit...nice catch
I want his solo album.. any style he want!! But the world needs an album from his hands! 🤘👏
Jim Root meteora sig. Make it happen
i was thinking the same thing
DO IT
Oh, they will.
That's what I said! Glad to see someone agrees with me.
@Matt Malone Jim can NEVER have too many signatures from Fender.
1:49 jim jim jim jim jim rooooot
Lmao
Whats the bet its actually a rift on the new album?
What riff is this song from
@@keitherikson7147 ikr I want to know too
@@keitherikson7147 There's a Gojira song with a similar riff, especially at 1:56 . First thing i thought of.
All I can say after watching this a million times and loving every second of it, I want a record with Jim Root playing clean and low gain tones. His clean playing IMO is severely underrated.
Jim is such a unique guitar player. He is very well versed in multiple styles of music yet he plays in a band that if someone didnt know would blow their mind hehe. He is awesome!!!
“I’m not used to playing blindfolded”..starts playing the guitar insanely
playing guitar is about muscle memory
d34d_z3r0_2 okay captain shreddington
@BaldUglyMonkey "Are you serious?"
As you say it sarcastically.
Checks your channel.
Finds no videos of you doing any better.
In short, stfu unless you can do better.
@@Jk-zv6tz you completely missed the point of his response lmao
@@mr.chocolatehazelnutspread8317 Except I didn't. Keep laughing out loud to yourself you mong.
My goal in life is to know close to 10% of the things Jim Root thinks I know
Jim: you know?
me: I don't but okay
This is the comment I came here for.
If he can understand this goal, he can understand the things you think you know, but you don't
Best comment
@@fockinmemes2917 lmao
He's just so adorable I can't with him
what a beautiful human being jim is
"you know" -Jim Root
Gilang Fresandy friggin iconic
Jim "you know" Root
"you know"- every american.
why do people have to point this out on every video someone says "ya know" a lot. Then its the only damn thing I hear. I'll even start counting them.. My girlfriend says I say it a lot tho too so whatever I guess.. ya know...
Take a look at an interview with Claudio Sanchez lmao
I'm not gunna lie, Jim really rocks that long hair huge beard!
Not anymore, rather unfortunately.
Check out Jim in 2008 with the long black hair 👌🏻
Love it when he incorporated it into his mask
Looks gay af
@Umbrella Corporation what looks for someone gay looks for someone else manly and vice versa
If you've never seen Slipknot live, do yourself a favor and do it. See that band. After being a fan for decades I finally got to see them this year and I couldn't believe how tight and clear their sound was. They are amazing.
I love that he's so in love with a guitar.
That's a musician.
I have to admit, Jim has style.
yuri brito fantastic guitarist
He’s the most hipster metal guitarist I’ve ever seen
Signature coming in 3...2...1....
Black or White with Humbuckers, will sound amazing!
I love Jim, for someone in Slipknot, he's such a mellow and relaxing guy. Amazing guitarist!
Kept wondering if he ended up getting one of these and saw him playing one at a show yesterday it was cool.
I would buy an album of just Jim playing anything he could think of. His talent is far greater than what slipknot needs
He made .5 so there's that
I agree
Jim’s got great hair
He always did😂
And he cut it again..
Beautiful hair indeed
@@RickGrimesS5 sad
Ikr
This is one of my favorite videos on RUclips I've come back to watch it many times. Jim's such a wholesome dude I love seeing him geek out over guitars
Man, rockstars have the best manners you can find in music industry, seriously!
1.6 millions of people came for that magnificent beard & hair combo 💯👌
His height makes him more unique
1.9 million now
Why does Jesus sound like Jim from slipknot?
XneverstopfightingX don’t say that. Jesus is John Petrucci.
Metal Jesus*
Because they are one in the same.
He plays for our sins
Jim Root doesn't even look Middle Eastern 😂
Idk why but I like when he says “kinda art decko-y kinda vibe” 😂
I’ve come back to this video probably over 100 times just to watch Jim play. Dude is my hero!
I could watch him play random riffs all day long. "Ya know?"
You're Right I am right. Its not random its from a liars funeral
@@foreheadlogan5507 News to me, but I'll allow it.
Vibe
I dont know what is more majestic, his beard or the guitar
slorr55 beard.
The mustache
It can be both.
His hair!
The beard.
He is amazing! Also cool that his Slipknot mask is next to the Amp in the background.
Jim: "I'm not used to playing blindfolded, bear with me."
He says as he plays that bad boy like nothing...and is awesome 💛💛💛
I got really excited seeing this video...hit that play button so fast lol.
I just wanted to say how cool it was to hear him playing without distortion
There's many songs on The Gray Chapter for that.
I’m glad they choose Jim instead of anyone else cause no one has seen his face in like years lol
Jim is more than toe years younger tegen Dave groll
@@miekejilisen670 can you try that again, but not in ancient Kandarian, please?
@@zeoalexo klaatu, barada, nikto!
@@tubbyduck5317 "I got it already! I know your damn words!"
@@zeoalexo what was it again? Necktie, nectarine, noodle...
Every sound of his voice brings me to a 70's usa i dont know why.
James looks like he’s about to RAID a Saxon village, looking like a Viking lol
Single Coils.. WEIRD
*metal brain can't compute*
Yeah they're real popular here in China a lot of guitarists are starting to use single coils for metal
Single coils are great to learn metal on. Make it heavy with tight playing and dynamics. Then put that on humbuckers and it becomes super heavy.
@Reclusive Sloth no one said you did
It worked for Jake E. Lee
He plays metal but definitely doesn't have a metal brain.
Jim is evolving into Gandalf.
Just need that grey beard. And then the white
Now he can play guitar without touching it... I won't even be surprised
Slipknot's Electric Wizard
@@Artaxerxes. its starting ro grey a lil already
Metal gandolf >:D
Jim is the coolest. Like a good friend next door.
love that he plays "a liar's funeral" from wanyk so basically we got a leak of it without realising
2:51 JIM ROOT METEORA SIGNATURE SERIES FOR HEAVY METAL'S SAKE, COME ON GUUUYS, HIS FACE'S SCREAMING FOR ONEEE, GET IIIIT
I love Jim. My favorite guitar player. No he's not the world's best guitar player. Not even close. But he's a great dude and he shoves every ounce of feeling, heart and emotion he has into the strings when he plays. I've seen him live so many times and every time, every song is different than it was every other time and he has never once seemed to just be going through the motions. He's reinventing the song every time he plays it based upon who he is in that moment. He always sets a positive example. He's a role model I wouldn't mind my kids aspiring to one day be. Love him so much. One of my heroes for sure.
Jim is unique, that's why he's so fucking awesome! And yes, he's one of the greatest today! Top 5, i would say!
Jim is mij fucking gitiur player the best idd the world
There is no best guitar player of all time imo. Everyone's good at something. Everyone excels at something that even the best may not. There's def good universal techniques. But personally, if I ever heard just Jim Root... I'd be satisfied.
It’s good that a fully fledged metal head guitarist uses a fender. U rarely see fender in metal. There needs to be more!!!
I could listen to him play for hours, just messing around and playing whatever, and never get bored
I'd pay to see him live in a setup like this playing for hours, trying out things, playing what's on his mind, speaking his mind. That would be the most chill thing ever.
1:50 liars funeral from the we are not your kind album
So he teased " a liars funeral" this long ago. I love it lol
I heard it quite some time but Jim Root playing really clean "romantic" stuff is always awesome. This guy has just an impressive feeling for natural guitar sound.
So when is Jim joining ZZ Top?
😂
I saw the thumbnail n thought it was teenwolf 😂
Little known fact. His uncle co-founded zz top but he left the band a year after. A lot of people don't know that.
666th like
Good one 😂
The more I see it, the more I like it.
I've liked it from day one because I'm a fan of crazy-shaped guitars - Gibson Explorer & Flying V, Carvin V220, Jackson Warrior & Rhaods, etc. - in general.
It's way nicer on film than it looked in the original pictures. I'd definitely get one if they end up making it more affordable/with different pickups
I wasn’t a fan at first, but it’s grown on me rather quickly.
This. So much... Like the first days I was like "ugh what an ugly design, who would buy that crap". But now I started to like it a lot, wtf.
Chris Pile lol I just commented that as well. I've got to the point I really like it now. If they do a MIM player version under $800 I think I would get one. I would want a different color though.
One of my favorite guitarist and slipknot member.
I love those weird arpeggios he's playing. I never knew he was that good!
2:20 raw version of SLIPKNOT-UNSAINTED main riff.
Just set it on 1,5 speed
Cool that we heard it before just didn’t realize lol
I mean its kinda like the unsainted riff. Theres some stuff missing.
Wow that’s a nice catch actually I didn’t catch thst
When you leave it on 1.5 speed he sounds like he just snorted 5 kilos of coke.
Максим Шабалин Nop,it's walk from pantera
It's Liar's funeral actually
Confirmed: you'll see Jim play a lot with this guitar on the next Slipknot tour
*_cannot_* _wait_ to see him shred on 'Sulfur' with the Meteora..
And you'll also witness him smashing his old stratocaster to the ground on the stage
It would be cool if he made a signature model with it
I don't think you can get Slipknot tone with a single coil . It's too thin and noisy
@@PeterVenkman_666 Finowa did alot of Slipknot cover with a strat with single coils. Sounds great tbh.
he looks like our big lovely old uncle that we want to give him this guitar on xmas. Also enjoy this video cuz looks like it’s the only “liar’s funeral” live thing we will see
I've never seen Jim root in such a calmed mood
The Sound and the Story maybe
I feel Jim always comes off chill and cool.
Channel Tee imagine him and Mark Morton from Lamb of God collaborations they got the same chill personality in interviews and playing
Marcus Aschenbrenner would be awesome!
I didnt noticed his mask until half of the video!
I didnt notice his mask until I read your comment
Same here
looks like a .3 version of .5. Maybe thats the direction they'll be going with their masks
WHAAAAAAAAT SAW IT NOW WHAAAT
Where's the mask?
Bring this back!
Jim with the mask: Totally metal vibes!
Jim without the mask: Ouh, he's very suit in jazz music. Maybe indie music.
"Oh"
-Jim Root, 2018
Lmao
Jim long hair is super cool
Metallica's James grew his moustache back.
Seeing Jim Root with this long-ass hair made my life.
Yep, and Hetfield is probably growing his hair back too
Why Is Jim's hair always so amazing!? Lol!
I'm in love with this guitar
I love how when he finishes guessing and takes his blindfold off, the first thing he does is down tune it 😂
Liar's funeral being played at 1:53 the funny thing is i watched this video before maybe an hour before listening to liar's funeral.
1:50 "A Liars Funeral" one of the greatest songs ever created by Slipknot ♥♥♥♥
The riff is juicy..i love it
I like how he plays the song Liar’s funeral at the end of the video before anyone knew it would be on the next album.
The way he flips his hair, its beautiful 😍
Only a girl would notice that 😂
He is so beautiful 🤭
He is so hot ❤
Would love to hear a full blues/ jazz number from Jim. Man is skilled
Jim Root: “It’s like a tele bridge with a jazz-master body and a strat headstock.”
Me: “ It’s very sturdy; it appears to be made of some sort wood; it has about 4 legs; and it can hold my weight pretty well.”
Director: *Face-palms. “Son, are you talking about the chair? You’re supposed to be talking a about the guitar...”
Ok that was pretty damn funny 😂
I know nothing about guitars but I still enjoyed watching this
I’ve always seen Jim Root as a traditional metal player. You know, the technical stuff we’re used to listening from slipknot, which is great!
But I keep forgetting this guy has some very powerful musical knowledge when it come to guitar playing, man.
Technical stuff from slipknot?
he's that friend that you used to do bong hits with in your younger days and would listen to for hours.
I don't know how many times I watched this... Still entertained!
He's actually so well-spoken
Sandblasted meteora - yes please !
With EMGs and an ebony fretboard.
Oooooohhhh that would look sic!!
Love when my dad talks about when he went to school with Jim and how everything in Jim’s life was music based
Your dad must be so cool to be around and hear stories like that
i love his improv so much
Bring this back
I seriously can’t wait until Jim Root makes this guitar in a flat black or white and makes it a signature and it’s up for sale. This guitar is rad!
EyevanRomVlogs Or black AND white...
This in black with ebony fretboard!!!!!!
white with black pickguard
