I love how chill he is about the whole thing just like "oh yeah when the solo kicks in it's something like..." *monumental guitar shredding* "Yeah just that"
I honestly had no idea that’s hiw that section of Before I forget was played, must’ve been like the only slipknot song (pre-Vol. 5) that I haven’t tried to learn lol that’s pretty nifty
Their music is too aggressiv and heavy for most. Guess thats the reason. But then, i dont care about others opinion, so the whole rating stuff is pretty pointless in my eyes.
Jim root said in a interview how he doesn’t really remember how to play solos exactly how they made it in the studio, and only plays it by ear and from what he can remember
Jim's nicer than Mick, and that makes him just that much more awesome. Dont get me wrong, Mick is a freaking amazing guitarist, but he just scares the shit outta me. Jim is somebody you could probably chill with all day and have fun. :)
That's probably one of the main reasons why Mick went with a hockey like mask. He basically said "I think I pretty much nailed it by getting across as who I am" Plus, he's a tall dude, I wouldn't fuck with him
@TheSoadisthebest Its a hairband, some people like it around their fingers because it keeps them closer or something some weird reasons probably, makes no difference atall if you have it on or not lol..
@TheSoadisthebest Not sure what jim is wearing but Kirk wears tape around his palm because the big wrinkles or lines in his hads get caught in the strings when he strums sometimes and they start to bust open and bleed. so he wears tape to cover those lines and fix the problem when he plays.
@falco1407 I use to had the same problem, so i took a rubber band and start playin and doing everything with it... i don't use it now, but when i play my fingers stay together for themselves xd, it really helped.
@SoadAddict91 yeah its really weird that you would never guess that people who like this music can be much sweeter and nicer than the ones who like rap, pop etc.
@nickanflor puts , cara tenha conhecimento antes de falar , você quer ofender um grande guitarrista como o Jim , só porque ele não tocou superbem nesse video? se você leu o Titulo do video é Jim Root Plays DEAD MEMORIES and PSYCHOSOCIAL solo , ou seja ele não ta ai pra tocar o melhor solo do Mundo apenas pra tocar 2 excelentes musicas de uma magnífica banda que é o Slipknot, mas eu aposto que se ele quisesse ele tocaria um solo muito bom aponto de lhe agradar
I love how chill he is about the whole thing just like "oh yeah when the solo kicks in it's something like..."
*monumental guitar shredding*
"Yeah just that"
Practice practice practice
@@guitaristchris durr
he's so used to playing in front of big crowds which makes him able to play to a single cameraman in his sleep
he looks like a homeless wizard 💀
@@youarethebluestlight a homeless guitar wizard pretty rad
Jim is so magicly empowered and badass he can make his tele change colors in miliseconds!!!
True
holy shit i didnt even notice😂, prolly cause the colors just inverted
@@bigzaddyballsthe first one is set to drop B and the other is set to drop A
when he plays his fingers seem to gracefully glide over the strings and use no efoort whatsoever....thats so cool!
I guess it comes naturally after playing for decades
He's left handed
is it me or at the end of the dead memories solo he started playing before i forgets chorus and little bridge part tap thing
Yes he does
whoever took this from the video didnt edit it out
exactly
I honestly had no idea that’s hiw that section of Before I forget was played, must’ve been like the only slipknot song (pre-Vol. 5) that I haven’t tried to learn lol that’s pretty nifty
He did
Did his finger even move 😳 insane
its legato. It actually looks like he is picking very fast, but he actually is only picking 1 time.
"we did not"
-fingers
His left hand is so crazy because he's left-handed playing right-handed guitar so his strongest hand is the fretting one
Jim Root is living proof no matter what model of guitar you have at the end of the day
its still just a shape of wood.
I'm 12, and this is soooooo deep
at the middle he also played a part of "before i forget"
From 0:03 to 0:09 its a KILLER black metal riff!!
Something atmospheric
Yea sounds good
Edit: Dead Memories intro sounds like Enter Sandman intro but a better version
@@unrandomcualquiera...1122 😂
1:00 What happend there? His fingers are moving so fast that you can't even tell they are moving
Just hammer-ons and pull-offs baby
@@stoplookingatmeplease1230 no it’s almost all picked usually
so buttery smooth🤤
i remember in 2011 when this video was in every side of youtube. well im here again..
and its so good...
Proof it doesn't have to be hard to play to sound killer!!
Damn after 11 years, I'm just watching this 🙄☺️😁😂
At 0:17 that part of the solo sounds badass
Yes!
not too dissimilar to what Death was doing in the 90s
Someone please tell me why Jim and Mick are underrated?
People think them as of ”just” nu metal guitar players
Their music is too aggressiv and heavy for most. Guess thats the reason. But then, i dont care about others opinion, so the whole rating stuff is pretty pointless in my eyes.
They do yngwie malmsteen songs and licks as warm ups, they’re great:)
Because they suck. Oh wait
Jim Root will make a great teacher!
The Psychosocial bit sounds like Before I Forget
00:31 I like how Before i forget comes out of no where.
Jim looks younger now in 2021 than in 2009. Dont do drugs kids
I think he was off drugs in 09
Looks like excessive alcohol consum, one of the worst drugs, next to stuff like antidepressants or painkillers.
He looks more youthful in the recent fender demos
when he is soloing i see ,fingers flying aroud some strings xD
As a carpenter i cant find such sentence funny, sounds like a nightmare for me.
Giving off massive Ywingwie vibes
Except Jim’s a nice guy as opposed to Yngwie
Great finger work Jim. Psychosocial is my favourite Slipknot song of all time!!
The psychosocial solo is a bit off 😂
jim never plays a solo the same twice. compare the live solos to the album
He records solos on the spot then improvs when they perform.
i love how he just accidentally starts playing before i forget
wow, he changed really fast :O
Jim Root is very similar to actor Costas Mandylor (Mark Hoffman in Saw)
That is one heavy sounding tele
love his signature tele
'Gibson Flying V' the best of all really cool, I love you james s2
Didn't knew Andy Serkis could play guitar
The emgs in that is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen in my life
jim root is EPIC
Woah! Andy Serkis plays good
god knows what he played from 0:50
etherlords88 Psychosocial
Jim root said in a interview how he doesn’t really remember how to play solos exactly how they made it in the studio, and only plays it by ear and from what he can remember
That’s why In lives and interviews a lot of the solos he plays are a bit off
Eu sou fã do som q esse cara faz , ele me faz querer aprender a tocar guitarra
MOSCOW197
eu toco guitarra a muito tempo mas eu só queria saber a metade do q ele sabe! JIM ROOT toc muito!
0:32 before i forget '-'
Before I Forget, My Favourite Rhythm.
i love his telecaster
I love you JIM
his hair is so fucking awesome.
Jim Root and Yngwie has a lot of similarity. First the looks then the voice then their presence.
And the insane speed from his legatto
Only that Jim Root can do songs that sound kinda different from each other instead of playing scales at the very speed of light
Oh, and Jim's real nice too 😁
Jim Roots apavora!
Brasil da um joinha!
jim for ever
when he playing quick is sounds like an old 80's game=D
Jim is a fucking god.
WOOOO THE SOLO! Alright! :D LOVE YOU JAMES!!
0:40 before i forget ?
I was going to comment that.
oooh so thats how you play that tapping part in before i forget that part has confused me so much when learning the song because of certain tabs
It's more insane than his skills that in this footage jim looks like 50yo :P
he is younger now ;D
amazing metal fender
thats amazing
It's a hair band that he usually uses to hold his hair in a pony tail.
Jim's nicer than Mick, and that makes him just that much more awesome. Dont get me wrong, Mick is a freaking amazing guitarist, but he just scares the shit outta me. Jim is somebody you could probably chill with all day and have fun. :)
That's probably one of the main reasons why Mick went with a hockey like mask. He basically said "I think I pretty much nailed it by getting across as who I am" Plus, he's a tall dude, I wouldn't fuck with him
@@jaredramirez5876 i think he looks pretty friendly lol
Nah, Mick's a nice guy.
@slipknot66636 its originally a hair tie, but t keeps his fingers close, so it helps he's awesome technique :D
Ah yes my favorite slipknot solo
Example no 11
@TheSoadisthebest Its a hairband, some people like it around their fingers because it keeps them closer or something some weird reasons probably, makes no difference atall if you have it on or not lol..
🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
@TheSoadisthebest Not sure what jim is wearing but Kirk wears tape around his palm because the big wrinkles or lines in his hads get caught in the strings when he strums sometimes and they start to bust open and bleed. so he wears tape to cover those lines and fix the problem when he plays.
OH MY FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOD !
Nice 👍👍
Incredible O.O
@owner12 so basically no telecaster is a telecaster because they all have different specs such as pickups and body woods
Hell yeah
@JoRaN9610 It's a hair tie, he puts it around his fingers when it's not in his hair.
Definitely shreds like him too.
he changed his guitar very quick xD
@slipknot66636 it's a rope, he is actually lefty, so their fingers are moving constantly without that kind of rope
@CharlesC13 I think it's a hair band, he probably let his hair down from being tied back and just never took it off his fingers.
He's a god...
@germanygal123 It's called harmony. It sounds wrong because the other guitar part isn't being played.
cool video
he has some fucking awesome hair.
you rock jim!!! :)))))))
@falco1407 I use to had the same problem, so i took a rubber band and start playin and doing everything with it... i don't use it now, but when i play my fingers stay together for themselves xd, it really helped.
nice dude thats pretty sick
How the hell does Jim look so fucking old here and so young now? The man is outright fuckin' gorgeous
Then he was almost 40, an old man who looked young
0:50 Woo,the solo,right. :)) he remembered the Psychosocial solo
Dead Memories solo on a Telecaster..... now i've seen everything.
That's what it's normally played on.
wow, hes amazing :3
Crazy how fast them notes are sounding on but that right hand looks like it's barely moving 😳
it s pull of and hammer on
Because it isn’t. It’s hammer ons and pull offs
genio !! simple
el mejor de todos, slipknot por siempre
@slipknot66636 its a thing thats is conected to the pick
@slipknot66636 a hair bow
@SoadAddict91 yeah its really weird that you would never guess that people who like this music can be much sweeter and nicer than the ones who like rap, pop etc.
The Solo of Dead Memories and solo of Psychosocial
Before he forgets
@slipknot66636 dont know what its called but its to keep his fingers together
yngwie malmsteen us. version
Except Jim doesn’t shred all time and he’s a sweet guy
@slipknotlovers89 it looks that way because his finger movements on the fretboard are smaller.
@nickanflor puts , cara tenha conhecimento antes de falar , você quer ofender um grande guitarrista como o Jim , só porque ele não tocou superbem nesse video? se você leu o Titulo do video é Jim Root Plays DEAD MEMORIES and PSYCHOSOCIAL solo , ou seja ele não ta ai pra tocar o melhor solo do Mundo apenas pra tocar 2 excelentes musicas de uma magnífica banda que é o Slipknot, mas eu aposto que se ele quisesse ele tocaria um solo muito bom aponto de lhe agradar
@embi10 nah man, i think its one of these straps you can put around your hand and it helps you pick better :P
i don't know if i will sound like an idiot but whats the think on jims fingers is it like to proctect your fingers when playing the guitar
Well, it changed the way
Has Before I Forget
The dark version of Yngwie Malmesteen
Except he doesn’t know a lot of theory and he’s a sweet guy
james is the best :)
0:33 "Before i forget"?
yes !! is that inturlude part when Corey starts to sing again
@lronmaidenRgods Yes he is. Do you have something else to say ?
The thing around his hand is his headband.
