JIM ROOT Gear Rundown! - 2024 Slipknot Self Titled 25th Anniversary Tour - Is That A Quad Cortex?!

[@wolfhorsky]

Such a cool interview. Jim has so great down-to-earth, practical approach. He and His tech have some serious bromance. So cool.

[@0retree337]

Jim root + Slaughter to prevail is gonna be amazing 👏

[@MrCMHUDDY]

Great interview... Jim clearly enjoyed this. Thank you, what a treat! :)

[@GLASSJAKE]

This is such an excellent interview. Hands down one of my favorite players. Shout out to Brad as well! Amazing work as Jim's right hand man. Also, loved his work when he played with PTW 🤘

[@cpeplinski]

His new approach on 7s is spot on.

[@awf_stone41]

I love these two men so much. The most real guitar talking dudes out there. And the fact jim always keeps the younger, more beginner or "normal" player in mind. He's a real one

[@GudlaugurMusic]

Dagan is on it man 🤘

[@maryelizabeth2581]

Thank you so much for this! Jim is one of my favorites & it's not just because of his guitar playing. He's so down to earth, humble, and kind.

[@anahowana]

Love this content. Jim and his tech are brothers in guitars. It's cool they have a blast doing what they like to do. Cheers from Morocco. PS: yep I have seen the video where he said he will stick with tube amps but being the purist he is with golden ears it even shows that the cortex is really decent

[@stephengraham1661]

Loving the content! Jim root and John 5 are the reason I got a Tele

[@LuisJimenez-pb3ge]

Same!

[@danielarruda7413]

Same

[@emmanuelescobar2287]

Its always great to see new Brad Clifford content, i dont even play guitar but i admire what a professional he is. Anyone else hear Sid's kid crying in the background?

[@charogenaro7024]

That Japanese DK2M is killer! very underrated guitars.

[@UnEmploymentDude]

I just felt my DK2M's value go up a dollar =)

[@L0-C01]

This is aweseome. What a sweet channel. Glad i found this!

[@WholeLottaBulldog]

Man, great interview. Well done 👏

[@kevin339]

I'm a fan of Jim Root's guitar playing for nearly 20 years and own 4 of his signatures. This interviewer asked so many tremendous questions that I was curious about myself. Bravo and thank you for this content. And thanks Jim and Brad for being amazing as always

[@danielserrano343]

Awesome stuff, very professional insights from Jim and his tech, I love to see how practical and efficient they are, getting the job done, and letting the bullsh1t out.

[@richarde3378]

Awesome interview, Dagan!

[@Womb2DaTomb]

Wicked video. I went to the Manchester show it was amazing. Cool Christmas treat!

[@jeradswartz5609]

Jim root is such a cool dude such a dope guitar player too.

[@Razrback]

best video you ever did i actually mowed his lawn in Jacksonville

[@Hermitsuccubus]

That’s such a good claim to fame! Love it!

[@BigBadOsiris]

that is an insane flex!

[@ughitstom]

i think if jim root did a 7 string model i'd need to change my pants 10 times over

[@AwareWolfOnWheels]

Why would ge have a signature guitar that he can't play himself? 😅

[@ughitstom]

@@AwareWolfOnWheelshe just said he plays 7 strings what do you mean

[@jasonmankowski4617]

Great video Man. Much love from Australia

[@georgealcoba3514]

Great interview Jim is so laid back!

[@LakesideLofi]

Such a sick video. Love his tech and how involved he is. 💯🎸🔥

[@naruto199797]

Dagan is such a cool interviewer, he's knowledgeable and charismatic

[@TrymYoutubeMainChannel]

will you interview Mick Thompson too ?

[@rodrigopolicarpo8377]

Wondering the same. I think Mick hasn’t done one of these since joining ESP and it should be very interesting

[@rfcanning]

probably waiting for his actual signature to come out

[@DiamondPressMusic]

@@rfcanning hopefully it gets revealed at namm 2025

[@rfcanning]

@ yeah 🤞🏻

[@MisterSeven-7]

@DiamondPressMusic Oh fuck Yes I hope its ESP horizon black mat just beautiful (I don't hide from you that I dream of having a prototype) 🤘🏽🤞🏽

[@rikosimmo]

Dude gets it. Spot on take with every guitar sounding different regardless of the pickup

[@johns1159]

This was very informative. Thanks for posting!

[@neknarqo]

Jim's playing meteora live!? I fell in love with the platform after that "blindfold" video from Fender. I hope they'll start producing the original "tele-style" meteoras at some point. This guitar looked sick!

[@bishjb]

Enjoyed that

[@ConfusedCentaur-ip5eg]

It's weird seeing someone interview jim that is the same size as him usually he makes everyone look tiny, but dagan is like 6 5

[@Chugg.Norris]

Especially when the inerviewer is wearing his wifes stilettos.

[@nimitz1739]

Well, he was just sitting down.

[@lacedlilly]

​@nimitz1739 Brad is tall, too, and he and Dagan looked about the same height.

[@nimitz1739]

@ Jim is taller than Brad tho. But you’re right, they are all tall dudes.

[@davidhannahmusic]

Loved this interview!

[@sheercerebralpower]

Also got a QC to mirror my live Diezel Rig…. It works really well, greatly improves the cost ratio and sounds really good. Had the Kemper before, which I found a bit anaemic in comparison to my amp set up. The Quad does the amp thing really well.

[@Lemordison92]

The number 4 of the knot ladies and gentlemen a very underrated skilful guitar player and a humble down to earth human being to to talk. Suberb work.

[@MayberryMafioso]

Not sure how I stumbled on this channel but, great!

[@arrell]

Brad sounds like a very astute guitar tech.

[@Chugg.Norris]

Thats what your mom said

[@Smurfidy]

He’s the man. It’s cool to see him get what he deserves, also. I remember seeing him tour with circa survive like 6-8, maybe 10 years ago… cool to see someone grow in the industry ! These 2 guys are dialed !! Bud definitely knows his stuff !

[@ughitstom]

the V is insane

[@Boomheyyou]

I love my quad cortex. It’s a beast.

[@socialclubmusic_]

Im not finished with the video yet but i want to say i hope you got to play Jims OG tele!! that guitar shaped many of our childhoods and formed part of the sound of slipknot we all love!

[@thecappy]

Great stuff! That custom shop Jackson is sweet. EDKH fuzz! 😆

[@balmain2496]

Love this. Jim is so effortlessly cool and Brad is a tech gem. They make for a great duo. Also, will we ever see a USA jazzmaster with the new inlays neck? 🔥🔥

[@DoxxyThrash]

41:05 the good ol ear trick lol..works everytime for the digital

[@LuisJimenez-pb3ge]

Yet home guitarist will still swear their “tubes”sound better.

[@INVERTEDBUKAKI]

I have never listened to them. I kind of stopped listening to newer metal in the 00 when radio died. They're theater looks great and I just love this guys axes. He has similar tastes and seems like a cool dude.

[@CALUMFUSCO]

Jim Root is my favourite guitarist, not 1 person that’s more of an idol to me, I ordered some new Jim Root strings yesterday, tell him next time you see him Dagan😂😂

[@ericsmith6633]

That’s what happened to me with 7 string. Once I played it, I wrote songs like crazy and it made guitar fun again. Now I play them mainly. And ya all the slipknot songs in Drop A you can play on a 7 easily. I hope they start using 7s

[@EonSlumber]

No need

[@slates1969]

Love Jim , awesome player and cool dude 😎😎

[@jacobarmstrong5308]

Wish there was more parts with Jim, seems like a cool guy.

[@paulyrighini9036]

I have one of the ‘pedal that we won’t show’. It’s actually pretty sick

[@thegavincourtney]

what pedal is it?

[@AHNDRX]

New Jim interview I’m here

[@SatanSplainer]

Jim Root is the coolest guitar player!

[@andresilva8444]

More of this, Dagan.

[@ThtsDirty]

Xander mentioned raaaahhhh

[@willieriffs3946]

hey man could u tell me the exact timestamp in the video where jim talks about xander?

[@Kirisute69Gomen]

I love the take on guitars with chips having personality. My own friend got more mad than me when I chipped my guitar once when I dinged it off the corner. Just said "what? Adds character"

[@namtsur]

I saw them in London on the 20th, absolutely unreal

[@nomad100hd]

White is my favorite guitar color as well.

[@BlazonStone]

Mine too I think I have 12 white guitars xD

[@Colin.W]

@@BlazonStonethey are eye catching. I was always for black and depending on the model, still am at times but the way a white guitar look, ages and works well with black or nickel hardware..

[@gitaramaulanasyamsudin6028]

thanks brad

[@magicallunn]

Let’s goooooo! 🔥

[@didtoknan8128]

Hearing Jim referencing that old trick that Muse did for a TV Show makes my day !

[@andrewpappas9311]

What did they do?

[@didtoknan8128]

@@andrewpappas9311 They couldn't play live on the show so they switched instruments. The drummer was faking vocals and bass, the bassist the guitar and synth, and the guitarist/singer was behind the drums.

[@andrewpappas9311]

@@didtoknan8128 I see, that's fun

[@Tehstroyer]

@didtoknan8128 Iron Maiden did it too back in the day, on some German TV show. Never seen the Muse version, but I'll look it up. I'm curious if anyone has any other cool examples.

[@erased84]

Do play guitar? No. Do I understand all of the technical details they talked about? No. Did I watch the whole thing? Yes, because Jim is my favorite member of Slipknot because he seems like such a nice dude. He’s definitely the coolest member of Slipknot imo. ④🤘🏻

[@CarlosDuarte-tm2yt]

JIM = GOAT

[@hangingdeadguy1]

great interview

[@juanrodriguez-ze6rb]

aahhhhh that meteora its so cool

[@k5elevencinc0]

Welcome to the 7 String Family!!

[@andrewbecker3700]

Not a big Fender products fan, but really enjoy the modding spirit his guitar tech uses. I'm currently brainstorming for ideas on a Jazzmaster style with P90's and hipshot string through body. There's been some new models recently with block inlays on a maple fretboard. The neck off a Sterling Cutlass CT50 plus. Bolted to a blasted swamp ash body. Like LTD has currently in production, would be the shiznit. I'm bet'n if a knockoff specialist brand like Firefly built a model with those features. Including the ball end stainless steel frets. They could sell them for $399 no problem. Peace!

[@gregxedge]

Brad ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@TheFloridaBikeVlogger]

had me at Jim Root

[@James-kj9hw]

What a Christmas present

[@Opossum141]

Im sorry but jim root is the best guitarist of 1995 to now. Not just on skill but on the love

[@mmrseed]

So refreshing to watch a rig rundown done proper and not have to turn off because of John Bohlinger

[@LeftHandRiffs]

Jim is by far one of the coolest dudes in metal. Not just cause of the Slipknot thing, just the human side of him. Realizing that he can still rip stuff on a 7 as a 6😂. He is a killer dude and player. The reason why he is one of my top players.

[@NBTKDA]

Tone Questing™️

[@haus05]

i was really looking forward to seeing dagan play that white tele

[@mikeomaly]

Let's freaking geaux!

[@Auto-Tech-Matt]

Does anyone else hear a baby crying at 42:50 ?

[@Hermitsuccubus]

10 points if you can say who’s grandkid that is 😂

[@PlasmaStrider]

I think that’s Sid’s baby 😂

[@millermonsterair]

41:00 yeah, so, recently, i had to admit to myself that i actually like the Zoom G6 multi-effects. i was very much an amp only kinda person, but after messing with the Zoom G6 for a few months, i HAD to finally admit that i actually like it a good bit. im able to get consistent tones, day in and day out, and can even make more patches too, so i mean, i had to admit that i liked it.

[@ashleyjackson8538]

Slipknot is a machine of show !

[@SlimeyGuitarStrings]

Jim is such a cool guy. I'm a little disappointed not to see that red and black sandblasted Jazzmaster. That is such a cool guitar. All Jim's guitars are cool. But that one is sooo cool.

[@ahmadakbarsyah8959]

Yes we want passive pickup jim root sig🤘

[@Megadave185]

nice to see someone who jim doesn’t completely tower over😂😂

[@rollsroystroyston6829]

Awesome

[@lowend8989]

I don’t know if someone’s already asked this, but I would be interested in knowing what guitar is used for Scissors live? What string gauge? For some reason there’s always a mention of ”drop B, except for one song” but no further mention of it 🙃

[@dukeviking]

LOVE the back and forth tech and Jim interviews. Ha: @39:35 (Jeff gets a shout out 😂)

[@johnowilliams3699]

that was cool

[@Mr.Goldbar]

It would be sick to see Jim and Mick use 7 strings for the drop A songs!

[@bozojazz]

7 strings?! That’s a whole additional string. Wild.

[@luciopcamp5367]

never clicked so fast on a video

[@Bahomar]

super interesting, thanks

[@TheAndrefbcastro]

it would be great to have his presets on cortex cloud

[@Boomheyyou]

And I also like my tube amp too

[@stjintje]

[@user-rs7tv5lq5v]

was hoping to hear about what the do for the F# alternate tuning for scissors

[@shredenvain7]

That is my exact reasoning for playing a 7 string tuned to drop A.

I enjoy Bogner amps a lot.
