yeah, sure, but thats cause they both do only as much as their passionate about. Mick maybe the better player, Jim is a song write and mic is not abig part of the writing. .
@@jonathancollins9057 yeah, which brings the dudes point home. Mick is the far superior guitarist. but you know what make a great actor. When you watch them and and think t your self "this is an act". Apprecience and perception is everyting. its all have that is truly our own and without it it means your dead. so look at thins like not having the knowledge. cause 99% of the rest of word wont see what you see. so see it how they see it. cause then you wouldmt need tp try and correct the guy and say other way around or prove you heard jim talkin interviews. You'd just know that mick is beyond a fucking sick awesome player. I mean, you didnt even correct the guy. you broke on small pedanitc bs. caues whether jim has said how techinical he is or not, ive seen the interviews too, i play guitar for fun but engeener for work, you cant tell me that he is not technical. whether he can lable it or not does does not necisarry to be a technical player.
I've been playing for a few years but I focused a lot on Metallica. I've recently started looking at slipknot and I'm having way more fun. The heavier tunings and insane riffs are so (sic)
exactly. Jim comes from Stone Sour and has a lot of jazz-ish experience, you can see it whenever he picks up a guitar and just noodles, same with his live improvs. Mick comes from death metal and used to play a BC Rich lmao, he’s very robotic and tight. everything he does is going right to his next move, no relaxation. it’s why slipknot feels so unique.
@@vexedpixels I think that's what gives slipknot it's intensity while still having this elegance with it's riffs and melodies, yin and yang to each other 😆🤘
One of the greatest guitar duos in metal. More than 20 years already and It's kinda unique given little known about their relationship. I would love to see any footage of them talking to each other apart from guitar stuffs
I get the feeling there's stuff about Jim that Mick disagrees with. I was watching a video showing their live rigs and guitars. Mick commented something about there's no need to have a million guitars like some people do and when Jim was showing his rig he mentioned that he uses a million guitars. Corey said that the members of Slipknot for the most part just put up with each other. Whenever they see each other in public they basically ignore one another.
@@-M_- afaik they've discribed their relationship as being professional colleagues who know their ways and strenghts on a professional level. Jim has said that they 'just know' how to each of them would write, or what part of a song would fit them the best and who should write what part etc. but they don't hang out or have a deeper friendship beyond their work. that said, there's no animosity or whatever. they're just not 'friends' outside of slipknot. but i think jim said that he finds mick as the easiest to work with, in the band. you also gotta think of the dynamics and their different personalities. mick is a very strict, very technical and protocol driven guy. whereas jim is from a family of hippies and he's a bit more relaxed and spontaneous with everything. jim is also mostly self taught whereas mick once even taught guitar to students in des moines. think of jamie hyneman and adam savage.
@@apple_with_a_human_butt pretty accurate except Mick has mellowed out since Paul Gray died. He kinda lost that chip on his shoulder. I think because he doesn’t have to put up with the drugs.
@@apple_with_a_human_butt I thought that Jim said in an interview that the band is a brotherhood and they would kill for each others, despite not seeing each others much?
Not only picking styles, they both have a totally different playing style, use totally different gear set up but yet manage to make them work perfectly together
Yes, they have different picking techniques: Mick has great attack, Jim has weak attack. It’s hilarious that people in comments hypothesize how unique they are, while only difference is: strong guitarist vs. weak, illustrative example.
@@Alex19II you have no idea what you're talking about. Jim has a more effeciant picking style, allowing him to play incredibly fast solos and other leads. Mick has more attack because he's a rhythm based guitarist, and the mix requires a heavier attack on the rhythm front. You're obviously not a guitar player and if you are, you're just jealous that Jim is infinitely better than you will ever be.
When you play riffs, you HAVE to attack normally. Not flabbily rub a pick around the string. He also anchors fingers of right hand to guitar body and sometimes attacks near neck pickup. It’s all mistakes leading to his signature lame sound. But power of Mick saves and masks everything.
any guitarist who is not deaf and is capable of playing a "simple" riff clearly and with articulation would say that Jim is weak and sloppy "guitarist". I can not realise how it is possible that a lot of guys here in comments can not hear this. The only explanation is that they are even worse "guitarists" than Jim. And Mick is really great.
No matter what video I watch, Jim looks like he always playing the same damn thing he hits all these notes with his left hand always in that 4 finger together position floating above the fret board, I can never tell what he's playing.
Mick makes it seem so effortless. Both of them are flawless guitarists. Mastering perfect alternate picking like jim root does is hard (in my experience) and micks down picking is on point with that of james hetfield.
It's so interesting watching two people playing guitar side by side, playing the same song. It's so weird watching two people play the exact same thing but playing it differently
From like :45 - 1:00, Mick is looking at the drummer(?) like "You better not mess this up" to his head nod in approval, that or Mick is just getting into the song (which is more likely).
They both look at the drummer just to make sure they stay in time with the drummer and enter at the right moments. They don't know the drummer so they're not sure he or she can stay in time like Jay does.
I love how Jim actually teaches us haha and mick shows how its suppose to look when mastered lol (Jim does it slower for us to see more clearly and mick shows how its suppose to look like going faster)
don't really get your point. the only album jim didn't take part in writing was slipknot. but since then he was heavily involved in writing vol.3. and grey chapter and wanyk are mostly his writing.
I absolutely LOVE watching these 2 play! They compliment each other so well! I love how different each of their styles are too! Jim's playing all laid back like he's playing in his backyard for fun. Mick is all mechanical like he's on stage. If either of these 2 were ever to leave The Knot, that'd be the only time I'd ever stop listening to them
I own the Jim Root Jazzmaster V4 and its pretty much the same. The body is probably the biggest of all my guitars and on jim it looks like regular size.
When I saw the thumbnail, at first I thought it was an older video, like the one from the Vol. 3 era which I used to watch 14 years ago, where they show how to play The Nameless and The Blister Exists. That's probably because their masks and uniforms are almost the same here as then.
Wow, this video is just so remarkable. You can see the difference between them in their guitar playing skills, it’s so obvious. Very good sound for judging imperfections, that are not on the studio records. Go to guitar school!!
I started learning to play the E- Guitar about a month ago and even have a teacher at a music school. Im just a the beginning of my journey but seeing this is just like: Wow 😵 Really nice that Jim and Mike take their time to go through this
Hats off to the guy aggressively playing the slippers in the background.

1:00 Jim playing by alternate picking
*Looks at Mick's intense downstroke picking*
Jim: I should do that too :D
woah you really caught him in the act there lol never wouldve seen that
It's just the wrist action, Mick keeps his tighter, they both play the same if you look closely, double downing wouldn't match with alternate
And Mick goes to alternate picking shortly after :)
yeah, sure, but thats cause they both do only as much as their passionate about. Mick maybe the better player, Jim is a song write and mic is not abig part of the writing.
.
@@derrickbillups5770Micks not a big part of the writing? ROFL what in the actual fuck are you talking about. Most of their riffs are Mick's..........

it's just training

@@RiffGrimez yes but he's alternate picking which makes it much more faster to play
Jim: "I'm a technical player that has practiced for years and at this point, it's effortless."

@@DocGehrman I totally agree with your statement. Jim doesn't always get the recognition that he deserves with his shredding skills!
What? Mick is the #1 guitar in the band, always has been. Everyone knows this...lol

The way their hands are synchronized is sooo satisfying to watch
I really appreciate these guys take the time to show their fans how to play their songs. Really speaks volumes about the kind of people they are.
They are paid to do this …
I just love how mick is like that death metal dude and jim looks like a chill modern metalcore or good uncle everyone loves and they both do the same
Mick tries to teach us as he plays the song 2 times faster
No matter what video I watch, Jim looks like he always playing the same damn thing he hits all these notes with his left hand always in that 4 finger together position floating above the fret board, I can never tell what he's playing.
Big hands, long fingers + efficient. I've noticed it too. He hardly has to move at all to reach the strings.
Jim is ambidextrous surprisingly
Oddly satisfying to see them side by side and so synchronised on hand and head movements. Loved it
God, mick's right hand is absolutely on fire, so agressive.
4:52 their eyes said: Don't you dare go wrong now
Mick makes it seem so effortless. Both of them are flawless guitarists. Mastering perfect alternate picking like jim root does is hard (in my experience) and micks down picking is on point with that of james hetfield.

Cos jim doesn’t know theory and mick was a guitar teacher apparently so…

This is one of the only aspects I like about slipknot left.

I absolutly love the sound of the guitar without distorsion blended in the distorted one with the mic close to the guitar, you can hear the pick
It's so much fun playing along to this video (my timings a bit off but it's a great song to play)
Whenever it’s for a foreign tv show or a channel it’s always amazing

Poor drummer. They give him rather intense looks like if they are not sure if he will be able to play the part right.
I wonder though, Is it Jay drumming or someone else at this point.
something about seeing their hands in sync . idk man love these guys, always been my biggest inspo and always will be
