JIM ROOT ON DESIGNING HIS NEW SIGNATURE JAZZMASTER

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Hey all. Mail is slow due to Philadlephia's problems atm, so my content has slowed the last two days. Merely trying to put out something for you all to enjoy. Thanks

[@blacktoothfox677]

Well, its the first I've ever seen of this channel, so it earned at least one new subscription from the UK! \11/ Stay healthy man

[@xanderraymondcharles]

@@blacktoothfox677 well hey thank you so much!

[@Excellerator420]

After all this time watching I just noticed your channel icon. Hooah! Keep up the good work man. We'll get back to normal soon enough hopefully. Untill then the thought of all the music being made behind close doors atm has me excited for what the festivals we'll be like when we're back up and running. It's going to be concert heaven when shits back up.

[@smbmxdirt3427]

Your videos are dope. Always enjoy them. I'm a die hard Jackson fan but I'm hoping to get one of Jim's guitars in the not to distant future. 🤟😎

[@watcherzero000]

Never really paid attention to how tall Jim is until you were standing next to him think I heard he is 6.6 tall.

[@kingzuna8007]

I love the fact that Jim even as a professional guitarist isnt afraid to admit that he’s still learning on guitar and there’s still things that he doesn’t know about this instrument even though he’s played it for years. He’s a great guitarist and it’s still plenty of technical techniques that he doesn’t know yet but that definitely didn’t hinder his success at all, that’s motivating. Plus the guys just incredibly humble

[@Brett_Shannahan]

fr i mean even the greatest drummer of all time neil peart kept learning from a teacher even in his later years. It’s really just a matter of respecting how vast knowledge there is to learn on instruments or anything in that matter

[@mfconstructor]

I’m almost sure I have seen this one already, but I’m re watching it

[@mondragon9282]

Jim is so damn cool!! Awesome you got to spend the time with him and get to check out his rig and guitars!!

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Hey thanks so much

[@abhi.velaga]

man this is way better and more genuine that most premier guitar rundowns. the fact that jim actually knew who you were, reached out to you, and actually wanted to chat with you, not just letting you talk to his tech, really makes a big difference from being told by a manager that there's a journalist there to talk to or something. also he offered to let you pay his rig! must have been an amazing day

[@sillykanji]

Man you are living the dream. I will absolutely buy every signature he releases.

[@grenade.turtle]

Well do you have them all yet?

[@ricksanchezito8972]

He seems so down to earth.

[@rickycompton2610]

Love this video Jim Root is the man such a wonderful human being he’s a guitar player who should get mor praise than he does thank you Ray for this video you rock man

[@guitar_mileage]

Love this video!! Awesome rig rundown! Beautiful guitars! Congratulations for getting that opportunity to hang with Jim that day!!🤘🎸🎛

[@Rigley911]

Jim Root is just an awesome human being.

[@jasonsapp792]

Jim is such a laid back none typical rock star.. comes across very approachable

[@donniex8799]

Dude, I loved the rundown you did with Jim. Jim & Mick were a huge influence on my guitar playing.

[@SlimJimJoey]

Just here to post how I won his signature Jazzmaster in a Frët12 giveaway a few years ago. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@bloxbrodoesvideos5463]

Lucky!

[@sillykanji]

Awww dangit man! Congratulations!

[@SlimJimJoey]

[@agustiniancaggiano5282]

I still can't believe this happened to you, man. Is Amazing

[@demodeiowa]

great interview. this was amazing. awesome video man

[@_AVF]

I'm sure I've said it before Ray, but you're a natural in an interview setting. This was great!

[@blacktoothfox677]

I love how the majority of proper metal players disdain the custom-shop flummery and go for off-the-shelf stuff... Like Tom Araya passing up an ESP custom-shop bass in favour of the LTD one, and our man Jim here. My attitude is rooted (pun intended) in this philosophy. FX, for example. 1) if you cant do it with BOSS, you cant do it 2) Why WOULDN'T you do it with a pedal you can get in any shop in the world, rather than have your tone dependant on some obscure boutique pricey nonsense? Love Jim Root, love his music, his attitude. And this is a great channel; SUBBED

[@PhillipGolden-o7o]

Also, Matt Heafy of Trivium has all of his signatures with Epiphone.

Jim appears to be a down to earth guy. Very cool video!

[@guitarliano9533]

I’ll rewatch my friend. Great job getting the interview dude 🤘🤘🤘

[@flyboymcgee8059]

Ray, great work man. I know this is a geek out moment for you but you deserve it for your super positive attitude. Enjoy

[@gholmes4917]

Really good interview.

[@Jstall7543]

Stay Metal Ray! 🤘🏼

[@ForTheRecordwithScottyD]

I just got one of these a week ago, they're absolutely unreal.

[@scottyd2262]

@Scotty D cool name bro !

[@scottyd2262]

I bought his white Tele in 2011... One of my favorite guitars 4 sure

[@sillykanji]

@@scottyd2262 Bought the white tele a few months back. Favorite by far.

You can do it now bro....

[@EXSENTRIX]

This is Amazing! 🤘🏼

[@thunder8585]

I wish he would put the red and black jazzmaster up for sale as a signature. That thing is so beautiful that the first time I saw it, I immediately checked to see if I could buy one lol

[@gregleatherman3786]

I ordered one last week. They say it should be ready in 4 weeks. I can’t wait!

[@mikabass]

I loved his black guitars. and his sandblasted red/black jazzmaster was iconic. i pair it up there with HI=ADS silverburst ibanez from his 98 run of family values

[@thorpenator9148]

My squier Jim Root Telecaster is awesome. It has a black winter Duncan that I installed...and locking Tuners.

[@SomeJustice19k]

This is still really awesome man!

[@RobKingRC]

Cool video Ray, Jim's a cool dude that really loves his gear..

[@qt_sir]

I think I’ve watched this video 6 times now.

[@roosterj2599]

EMG Retroactive hot 70s pickups are amazing! They're not the Jim Root sig pickups, but close enough. Best of both worlds.

[@abbylester5215]

You can tell his arms aching holding that mic 😂

[@SaberToothGary]

Jim and I have same birthday... when my band playes Des Moines, I always tell the crowd that him and I are cousins. Yes, I am a jackass. Have a great day, everybody!

[@bloxbrodoesvideos5463]

Lol

[@cahyopramono3458]

I love you jim root😊😊🤘🤘🤘🤘❤❤❤❤

[@ChrisPuckett]

I want a white one with a Floyd. Jim is super humble 🤘🏻

[@TheGreatFodiniGaming]

Wasn't this in your video where you got to play his gear?

[@lukeabrahamsen-collins808]

That’s what I was thinking

[@dylanriner]

Do you have any news about the sandblasted jazzmasters? Ive been dying to get my hands on one. I even got a black jazzmaster while I’m waiting 😅

[@bassman0079]

The sandblasted jazzmasters can’t be bought I think

[@dylanriner]

@@bassman0079 at least not yet, Jim was in talks with fender in doing a limited run. I just reached out to Fender though and they said there’s no update yet. I just really want to see it happen!

Makes me feel better that one of my favorite guitar players is also not as well versed on learning guitar and music theory,

Don't care for slipknot too much...they got big when I was in middle school and every metal punk or scenster and there cat loved slipknot so me think I was all punk wasn't about to jump on a bandwagon...that being said I have his mim tele and holy friggin shit. My neighbor/family friend has a usa tele which hasn't ever been played and I was shocked to find the quality on the mim tele seemed just as good. This was my 1st opinion but I took it to my luthier(lol he's old af) and he said the same thing. He also told me buying a usa strat is so dumb. Just get a mim and take it to som1 like him.

[@spacefx1340]

Not a fan of his guitars, the guitar size for shorter people is to big imo.
