The WEEKLY RIFF: JIM ROOT & SARCASTROPHE from THE SOUND AND THE STORY

Clean octave intros, single-string riffing and trills, speedy tremolo picking, Drop A heaviness, oh my! Jim Root takes us into his garage to show us all how it’s done. FRET12 presents a video play-through of Slipknot’s smashingly-heavy “Sarcastrophe.“ (ProTip: if you want to nail that clean tone, you’ll need an EHX Holy Grail reverb, a Maxon Rotary Phaser and MXR Carbon Copy delay.)
