Man I really miss Jim in Stone Sour. I really love how these two play off of eachother, sounded so good. But i'm glad to atleast see him in Slipknot still.
@@StalkerStiv it's not hardrock lmao. some of the stuff influenced by stone sour might be more on the hardrock side, but slipknot is still metal. if you tell me the chapeltown rag, the dying song, unsainted, birth of the cruel, killpop, the burden, custer, warranty- the list goes on and on; are all hardrock, then you know nothing about music
@@MBCMSPR yes your`re right but guitars are not what they used to be. now they are plastic. The last guitars with a metal sound were in 2008. In the new album, the guitars also became metal
@@StalkerStiv I agree. But you rarely see Fender guitars used in metal lol. I’ve just never really been a fan of them other than cleans sound great through those single coils.
You know your good when it looks so easy.Josh and Jim played off each other like Jim and Mick. There's no i have to do my require guitar solo on every song.I love Slipknot and Stone Sour. Many band members left and than returned. Never say Never.
I wish Jim was still in this group...The lineup w/ him and Josh (and Corey as a vocalist) PURE musical GOLD...It's hard to find people to play with as it is, but RRREEEAAALLLY hard to find that special chemistry that gives ya goose bumps and makes you a better player/composer/relights that fire of loving music, etc. etc...which is what I ALWAYS saw w/ Stone Sour (in general AND LIVE) I mean just like this his song, Gone Sovereign, Absolute Zero, etc etc.. (and they are both GREAT guys.. I feel fortunate I was able to speak w/ Jim for about 5 minutes or so after a show and Josh for at least 30 or am hour...just awesome...they just LOVE/LOVED playing and being w/ their fans...) ....and no offense to the current members, I don't know the whole story, there is no way I could, which should be an obvious thing, lol, but yeah... great stuff!!)
Actually you're luckier than me, because you live in the US, so you have a lot more chances to go to one of their concerts. This year Stone Sour came to Chile for the first time and I was lucky enough to be able to see them twice in a week. I'm sure you'll enjoy like I did when you see them ;)
You can have a fretless guitar that still have the actually frets on them, you just can't feel them because they are built into the neck of the guitar. I asked because of the kind of slides he does, and the way he plays.
@SLIPKNOT666MAGGOT9 totally true. You can't forget the person who put the solo in the first Stone Sour song on the first album... Get Inside...his solo is really good.
@Dualfrozen He has been learning some "secret' techniques of playing for doing those amazing solos! like this one and the one on come what(ever) may and for audio secrecy he's done even more research on those techniques (or some other techniques im not sure, he always finds something new, barely known!)
it makes sense, when u get good enough, u want your dominate hand to be doing the most work. for example sweeping on a right handed guitar requires precision with the left more then the right ;)
Stone sour - Jim = Downgrade one. Stone sour are now my second favourite band behind slipknot. Contradictory as that may sound. What the heck was Stone Sour thinking, SS without Jim. Like taking milk out of shake and calling it ice cream man. That crap, shocked at Corey agreeing with the choice. They'll regret it soon I think. I mean, just listen to him play. How can they beat that?!
@@kevin339 I think you’re overreacting. Sure it’s a different style but *unlistenable?* Besides, I believe Jim has gone on record saying he’s happy he doesn’t play with SS anymore
at the end of the chorus when jim slides down the neck with the high notes like he does live with slipknot in some songs, how does he do that cuz i cant do that like he can?
Its just thing of a practice approach. My friend does everything left handed and he plays right handed guitar cause his older brother was first one to buy guitar and he had to play that learn on that guitar.
I'm also left-handed and I play right-handed guitar - not really a big deal :) It's just a matter of choice - in the beginning I didn't even think about learning to play a 'lefty' guitar but a lot of left-handed people decide to learn it this way :)
I love how James always throws his own shit in songs, love to watch him play live.
SAME!!
He always freestyle every song. Is best in the world
They're both great but Jims guitar playing is so fucking amazing, one of my favorite guitarists in heavy music.
yeah,Jim's improvising is so melodic and clean,I love it !
Dave Mustaine and Jim Root is best guitarSSSS xDDD
Man I really miss Jim in Stone Sour. I really love how these two play off of eachother, sounded so good. But i'm glad to atleast see him in Slipknot still.
ye but Slip now just hard rock, not metal
@@StalkerStivbruh what
@@MBCMSPR Slipknot used to be metal, now it's rock. in the album 2014 and subsequent ones, the guitars became plastic
@@StalkerStiv it's not hardrock lmao. some of the stuff influenced by stone sour might be more on the hardrock side, but slipknot is still metal. if you tell me the chapeltown rag, the dying song, unsainted, birth of the cruel, killpop, the burden, custer, warranty- the list goes on and on; are all hardrock, then you know nothing about music
@@MBCMSPR yes your`re right but guitars are not what they used to be. now they are plastic. The last guitars with a metal sound were in 2008. In the new album, the guitars also became metal
I never would of even thought about playing a Fender for this type of music til Mr. Root came along. That is one Fender I want.
Now with all the plugins and pedals available you can play any guitar for any genre
its not about a guitar. its about how talanted player
@@StalkerStiv I agree. But you rarely see Fender guitars used in metal lol. I’ve just never really been a fan of them other than cleans sound great through those single coils.
Left: Trying to hard. Right: Just another day.
Perfect! Haha
você aqui lucas, já te vi no canal do hayashii
Jim's a much bigger guy at 6'6" with larger hands. He probably could play an 8 string similar to Tosin Abasi. Genetics is a factor.
Well... What he plays in Slipknot is 10x harder than this, so I'm sure it's no problem for him :P
evadesc yeah,hes middle finger is so long hes showing it to you constantly during hes plays :D :P
jim harmonic's....so perfect
1:15 he is like " Nice job kid u.u " lml
😂
its clear to see which one plays text book stuff and which one plays with feel
Lol so wrong. Both are great. Just cuz you see Jim playin octaves doesn’t make him a feel
Player
It all boils down to practice
Poor you. Josh here played the difficult melodic part which Jim obviously could not do.
@@westpapua8941 man, you’re wrong, Jim is a great guitar player, he can do what josh did without making any effort
@@westpapua8941 See the solos that he do in Slipknot
There is a buch of things that Jim is playing that are actually not featured in the studio version of the song.
The guy is a beast!
the smile in the end is priceless
Never heard this song... watched this... fell in love with it :D
very underrated song
josh rands picking style is incredible
paul blaze from a beginners standpoint, yes.
Jim is the BEST _ I love u JIM! Brazil loves u! : )
Brazukas ! lml
Really like Jim’s sliding on them octave parts - really different
Jim is best in the world. He always have cool ideas for any song
I love Jim's playing style,such great feel!
Josh and Jim are a great duo. Love both their styles. Josh wrote some of the baddest riffs for SS.
You know your good when it looks so easy.Josh and Jim played off each other like Jim and Mick. There's no i have to do my require guitar solo on every song.I love Slipknot and Stone Sour. Many band members left and than returned. Never say Never.

240p we meet again.
I just want to be Jim Root's guitar...is that too much for a girl to ask
that smile in the end tells everything
jim root the GOD of guitar playing
can't get enough of this
1:26 jim have a gift to you
Addson Camara 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
this is why i love James... pure talent
Love how Jim "freestyles" lmao
Solid and very under-rated guitar players. Josh's solos are weird and unique.
Gorgeous
still love this
Awesome guitar performance from this great band♥..., thanx!
Amazed by Jim's solo... how "simple" but how appropriate!!
Man.. they are just Fukin Amazing ._.
Bad-ass!!.. Jim makes it look so easy
The bally guy.
Is he getting lessons off Jim?
+Andro345 Nope, Stone Sour guitarist.
you didnt get the joke xD
r/wooooosh
yeah yeah yeah Mr.Root...he´s just the best
Jamtastic.
I love videos like this.
You should do it, I'm gonna see them again in 2 days!!!
Waw james root 😍😍😍
I see alooot of comments about a guy who's made quite the excellent living from his ability to play the guitar from people who won't be remembered.
Banana hands , Jimmy Root
James root is fucking awesome, i want to play guitar like him
13 years later, how's it going now?
Dueling f'ing banjos. 7 thumbs up.
This riff sounds like Soundgarden. Cool!! Stone Sour reminds Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Grunge.
badass man!
Idk why but I can picture Jim eating a club sandwich and making it look damn good lol
cool you are so lucky and I moving to wisconsin next month so more of a chance to actually see concerts lol
if I ever get the chance I am definitely getting tickets
Josh has to try Jims like meh elementary shit
Slipknot`s experience is here
amazing guys;)
Yes.
Actually you're luckier than me, because you live in the US, so you have a lot more chances to go to one of their concerts. This year Stone Sour came to Chile for the first time and I was lucky enough to be able to see them twice in a week. I'm sure you'll enjoy like I did when you see them ;)
jim and mick are the reason i play guitar
me gusta :) jim root é realmente muit bom
Johnny Sins try to learn how to play guitar
Just practicing before doing the same to your mom.
I fucking love Jim!
Thanks
such talent O:
wicked!
josh rules!
Does anybody know what string gauge Jim root uses for drop B tunings ?
I REFUSE TO DIEEEEE
james is extremely fluent when he plays
R.I.P. Jim Root
Great tone and totally in sync. Are there any other videos of just these two guitarists from stone sour playing just the guitar tracks?
BRAVOOOOOO BRAVOOOOOOO BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOO
You can have a fretless guitar that still have the actually frets on them, you just can't feel them because they are built into the neck of the guitar. I asked because of the kind of slides he does, and the way he plays.
every time I see Ji Root I laugh at the EMGs in a Tele XD
I bet they are so cool live
One plays what they recorded the other plays but adds his own flavor to the song
@SLIPKNOT666MAGGOT9 totally true. You can't forget the person who put the solo in the first Stone Sour song on the first album... Get Inside...his solo is really good.
hahahah Jim Root makes me lol:) He's playing and looking at Josh RAnd instead of his own playing.. and e looks suspuches XD hahaha
@Dualfrozen He has been learning some "secret' techniques of playing for doing those amazing solos! like this one and the one on come what(ever) may and for audio secrecy he's done even more research on those techniques (or some other techniques im not sure, he always finds something new, barely known!)
I do too.
muito bommmmmmmmm poraaaa
R.I.P. Jimmy
brunowrs WUT
it makes sense, when u get good enough, u want your dominate hand to be doing the most work. for example sweeping on a right handed guitar requires precision with the left more then the right ;)
same here.
This sounds like a Command And Conquer Soundtrack.
I saw them last night, yes they are. Corey was sick as hell (fever and shit) and yet, they kicked ass.
that was fucking sweeeeeet!!!!!!! \m/
yeah, me too

Chris have you heard their new shit?
new album is pure crap man i even stopped to listen to SS, bad times
Couldn't agree more, the new album is unlistenable without Jim.
@@kevin339 I think you’re overreacting. Sure it’s a different style but *unlistenable?*
Besides, I believe Jim has gone on record saying he’s happy he doesn’t play with SS anymore
I haven’t listened to the new album yet because I don’t want to listen to it without the main guitarist Jim
everybody says, that jim is cool..he is!...but dont forget josh...he is good to!!!!
I am left handed aswel and since I played tennis with my right hand I play the guitar too :)
I second that shit doobenz.... You deserve another drink mate..!!!
Damn :D
@TheSlipknotist just look up jim root gear and there is a video of his whole rack :)
Josh Rand should get more appreciation
@Loque2g4 he found it somewhere in the internet when he was searching for acoustic music from stone sour ;)
hey guys there's another guitarist in the video who is also as great as Jim, show some respect for him too
at the end of the chorus when jim slides down the neck with the high notes like he does live with slipknot in some songs, how does he do that cuz i cant do that like he can?
Im like that too
Its just thing of a practice approach. My friend does everything left handed and he plays right handed guitar cause his older brother was first one to buy guitar and he had to play that learn on that guitar.
@sicnessrusso95 keep picking the same string very fast without your finger pressing on the note, only slighty touching the string.
@ryonafan exactly...
I know exactly how you feel...
That's how I play. My dad told me that left handed guitars are more expensive and harder to find so I learned right.
I'm also left-handed and I play right-handed guitar - not really a big deal :)
It's just a matter of choice - in the beginning I didn't even think about learning to play a 'lefty' guitar but a lot of left-handed people decide to learn it this way :)
