Guitar tone like this is to die for.

[@gamerboyzeke]

3rd World Gamer its the motherfucking tele its is awesome

[@GabrielTheGuitarist]

@@gamerboyzeke false. those are just EMGs. they sound the same in anything. 90% of your tone is your amp/effects and mostly, the speakers/enclosure. this is proven science.

[@machine1066]

Check out rammsteins tone

[@Alphaaussiegaming]

GabrielTheGuitarist it’s starting to become a meme that emgs make tome sound good well yea they do but it’s what emgs are known for the thick active sound while pickups like Seymour Duncan are known for the jb and 59 which is aimed at more rock/blues yea they made the blackouts and active pickups but when I Seymour Duncan I think of those and that genre saying emgs sound the same in anything is like saying the modern channel of a dual rectifier sounds like a vox ac30 it’s completely false I put some in my Ibanez and sounds nothing like a bands tone even if I use bias for the “tone” yea bias captures the tone of the album but it will still be different tone doesn’t start with pickups it starts with u and your play style hard picking soft picking down picking alt picking that sort of stuff I’ve play many pickups in many different guitars and none of the emgs I played sounded the same for me every pickup designed by any company is made for a reason not just to sound similar on lower cost type thing I get what your saying but it’s not true my friend

[@thesadsquatch]

@@Alphaaussiegaming yes, emgs sound good, but there are other pickups that sound good. Fishman sounds amazing. You mentioned SD blackouts, Mick Thompson uses those in his sigs. Also, that's one long run-on sentence.

[@jesn8770]

Your tone sounds more like Slipknot than Slipknot

[@MijuOFFICIAL_]

True

[@travisbennett3332]

You really gon flex on us with a jim root tele

[@avidcracksmoker]

shicken yea

[@shaggysodazed7025]

2:34-3:00 is such a beauty, well played

[@experimentality1856]

I thought it turned original omg

[@emperorvitiate1844]

i love that part

[@ienvy_l1xm199]

Shaggy SoDazed not 2:34 - 3:00 It’s the whole song

[@-Batou-]

Nice, but I prefer the (original) tapping version (available on Jim's master class video). This completely changed my way to approach this section !

[@andremouraajr]

@@emperorvitiate1844 me too

[@MosiuRC]

It was good to hear only your guitar. Still very impresive

[@AntonKhoff]

Thanks a lot

[@BigBoss-nn2hg]

+Anton Khoff Always fun watching you play man. I cant remember if you've already done Slipknot - If Rain Is What You Want, but if you havent, could you possibly do it?

[@ScottScott12345]

+BigBoss 1225 He's done it.

[@ashtonwilkins363]

I like that Tele, that thing is awesome.

[@MetalHeadAZ]

i love that guitar too

[@Pixelman16]

+James Wilkins I love guitars too

[@maddog788]

+Ashton Wilkins it even kicks my JEM77P's Ass. pretty sick guitar.

[@somerandomarmydude]

+Ashton Wilkins It's the Jim Root Signature Model.

[@ulyssessait]

normal tele wont give u the same warm tone... it need this jim root! hell yeah

[@AndrewWilson1991]

Love how simple yet aggressive Slipknot riffs are, also thanks for the quick demo on the sound matching within Bias

[@djake1743]

You are one of the few people that actually play the opening riff right! Awesome cover man!

[@FierceDeityAndrew]

That tone is so spot on. Amazing job!!!

[@user-qf5rg1yh9p]

めっちゃかっこいいです！！！ very cool !!!

[@bigrigmuhammad3676]

One of the best guitars I've ever seen. Great work by the way.

[@michaelwaters6461]

Killed the tone! Spot on! Great cover 🤘🏻

[@manospitsis]

Holy "tone"! Of the best covers of this song! Awesome

[@iovoslaviovchev7979]

Great sound! Amazing playing as always!

[@chasing_dragons]

Absolute perfection. You have it sir, great talent. Keep playing. Happy holidays.

[@ssmechanical1]

Sounds great,I really dig your sound. Thanks again I always look forward to your vids.

[@oliverneale]

Excellent as always

[@coletricklejr.7083]

Loved the old Korn tone for two decades, and love your covers, but damn this sound is just as authentic as it gets! 👍

[@remnantcrusade]

Great playing, tone, and video!

[@Krosofert]

Man what a awesome tone!

[@rockysullivan4097]

Perfect tone, really great

[@MissManizer]

Dang thats sick! Keep it up, love watching these vids

[@AleLGB]

2:10 - 2:34 Can't stop listening

[@shanlunatic5201]

Dude you're on god level...SICK!!!!

[@RyanGates4960]

Never knew a telecaster could get this kind of tone! This is awesome!

[@tedkaparelos487]

it has active pickups

[@Cleavatr0n]

Well it is the same Tele that Jim Root (Slipknot's rhythm guitarist) uses lol... Not to mention its a mahogany body, and has active pickups (EMG 81/60 setup).

[@tedkaparelos487]

I think theyre actually the seymour duncan blackouts, as those are the ones on his signature, but im not sure.

[@tedkaparelos487]

nope, theyre not

[@Cleavatr0n]

Ted Kaparelos Those are on Mick Thomson's, Jim uses EMG's.

[@invurmusic926]

great playing and awesome guitar!!

[@Joe.Howard11]

Really good tone on this one! Really like the album!

[@AntonKhoff]

Thanks man!

[@DavidFunable]

***** когда в майнкрафт перестанешь играть

[@punk2200]

***** лол,рок гитара :D

[@KoRnn69]

I like how he focuses more on tone rather than being super technical. To me that’s better than being able to play every single little part of a song.

[@dmitryfoobar42]

I'm 22 and started to learn to play the guitar only certain months ago. But I don't have enough time because of my work and etc. Almost crying when see such videos understanding that wasted so many years and won't be able to play with such skill and clear sound..

[@Vigilante311]

Are you still playing?

[@johnsguitarmusicanddemos]

Yeah, I like how you played having it being only your guitar. Another great cover!

[@arunrun7012]

2:34 amazing man, you definitely could get into Slipknot easily.

[@Mavvyd96]

Your wife must be lucky to have married a great musician.

[@TragicMaster]

youre not a musician if you only do covers

[@Mavvyd96]

TragicMaster That's pure bullshit.

[@ZoWings]

+TragicMaster Jim Root, Brad Delson and much other musicians said that if u are able to play covers, you are much better guitarist than a guy that knows all music's history

[@Yellowjacket307]

TragicMaster How? What if he writes his own songs? Who are you to judge him and tell him what he is and isn't.

[@dg8878]

Robert Claar just that one person in the KZbin comments section

[@lokomotor09]

"Академичность" исполнения просто поражает, как всегда прекрасно!

[@SsamirD]

Very clea, perfect effects, nice picking, Loved it

[@unassumingpotato1666]

Is it weird to think that this song is 11 years old?

[@unassumingpotato1666]

I want to be a kid again :(

[@alyssamanthey899]

I was about the same age when i started listening to Slipknot ^-^

[@farizkimaulana1657]

great cover , very simple chords \m/

[@littleregina8822]

Wow! Looks/sounds like the real guitarist of Slipknot is playing.

[@benadamson8958]

Little Regina there is 2 guitarists of slipknot in this song

[@Jk-zv6tz]

@@benadamson8958 He's playing Jim's parts. So OP was more than likely referring "guitarist" as a singular because or this. But keep correcting people needlessly on KZbin

holy shit that's amazing

holy crap finally someone who plays the intro right XD another nice cover man. oh and do u know how the boss ac3 performes when tuned down to like dropB / C#standard as im wanting to do a vermilion pt 2 cover butdont know how good the acoustic sims out there are.

[@brennolima2938]

mano se toca muito, ja até aprendi a tocar essa musica do slip

[@rapmonster3915]

I like your guitar cover of slipknot HELL YEAH! Nice

[@zackystuperbee4679]

nice guitar

[@sydaball9882]

I just learn this song by watching Anton. Most of the KZbin instructors go way to slow a pace and that makes it confusing for me, I need to learn at the speed of the song and move it along. And the tabs for this song online are missing lots of parts or are different from what Anton is playing. This is much more accurate and you can watch him while playing along and go back at your own leisure

[@Giantstx]

Great cover! That is the least likely guitar I would expect anyone to use playing this song though!

[@denkmemes402]

Congrats on 23,000 subs, dude!

Nice brother

[@ole-christian1651]

SO CLOSE TO 100k subs!!

[@lNuminousl]

In the main riff rather than using a slide, I bend on the 7th fret. Cool seeing different ways of playing

[@repairize]

I must say your guitar sounds a bit better.... i like it c: good work!

[@somebish4743]

nice cover 👍

[@pellyell]

so freaking refreshing to hear and see it being played the right way, flawless
