when he plays his fingers seem to gracefully glide over the strings and use no efoort whatsoever....thats so cool!

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"

His left hand is so crazy because he's left-handed playing right-handed guitar so his strongest hand is the fretting one

at the middle he also played a part of "before i forget"

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.

Great finger work Jim. Psychosocial is my favourite Slipknot song of all time!!

'Gibson Flying V' the best of all really cool, I love you james s2

Jim Root will make a great teacher!

amazing metal fender

cool video

when he playing quick is sounds like an old 80's game=D

his hair is so fucking awesome.

Nice 👍👍

He is so fucking awesome...

I love you JIM

Hell yeah

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

OH MY FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOD !

@slipknot66636 its originally a hair tie, but t keeps his fingers close, so it helps he's awesome technique :D

It's a hair band that he usually uses to hold his hair in a pony tail.

@slipknot66636 its a thing thats is conected to the pick

Jim Root is very similar to actor Costas Mandylor (Mark Hoffman in Saw)

@JoRaN9610 It's a hair tie, he puts it around his fingers when it's not in his hair.

@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.

@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.

@JoRaN9610 haha.. actually i don't mind what he's wearing. But i just didn't know what he is using it for :)

Definitely shreds like him too.

@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.

@owner12 so basically no telecaster is a telecaster because they all have different specs such as pickups and body woods

He's a god...

manda muto bem !! BRASIL MANDA JOINHA

james is the best :)

T-T algún día algún día seré como el

@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..

@embi10 nah man, i think its one of these straps you can put around your hand and it helps you pick better :P

esse cara e o cara meu porra eu queria ser aprendis desse cara ?james roots me ensina vio !

@slipknot66636 dont know what its called but its to keep his fingers together

@slipknot66636 it's a rope, he is actually lefty, so their fingers are moving constantly without that kind of rope

He's so fucking good

@slipknotlovers89 it looks that way because his finger movements on the fretboard are smaller.

he has some fucking awesome hair.

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

@germanygal123 It's called harmony. It sounds wrong because the other guitar part isn't being played.

Ah yes my favorite slipknot solo Example no 11

@embi10 helps grip the pick better

Before he forgets

@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.

@TheMikeakers Yuppp.

The Solo of Dead Memories and solo of Psychosocial

@slipknot66636 its just a pick with like a big ring that holds ur pick for shows...

@TheGreenTalent they do it because when their picking really fast it splits their palms open

Jim needs to solo more with Stone Sour, I don't hear that many solos there. His Slipknot solos are very impressive, though.

@lronmaidenRgods Yes he is. Do you have something else to say ?
