Having a slight bit lighter of an attack is just a by product of being a developed lead player. If you dig in too much with your pick on tremolo or sweep picking you end up accidentally getting stuck on strings. Same with riffs. Too much attack can really hurt your sound. It also helps with dynamics in your picking. By having a default light approach you can add just a tiny bit more aggression to the picking to add a little more energy to a section to make it stand out more. Jim’s no stranger to picking aggressively but he’s also a great example of never doing more or less than needed to serve the song. Just some tips that may help you out with your playing

There is something that comes from the combination of Jim's personality, the way he plays guitar and talks and describes what he is playing, and the design of his artist model Fender's that makes me want to run out to the nearest Guitar Center as fast as possible and play guitars even when I know I can't afford a guitar. Thank God there are at least a few heavy metal and really successful entertainers in general who are down to earth personalities like Jim.

So ok for people trying to cover this song: They play it differently live than on the CD. So the parts shown here are obviously the correct live parts for guitar 2. The guitar 1 parts are different. Unfortunately there is no 1 tab available that is 100% correct, mainly because Slipknot plays this song differently live as Jim is explaining himself on this vid. Just listen to the cd version and then compare with the live version and you will hear clear differences with Jim's parts.
