UG AMA: Ask Slipknot Guitarist Jim Root Anything!


The UG AMA train keeps a-chuggin' with yet another neat session, this time around with Slipknot guitarist Jim Root.

Also known as the No. 4, Jim is a proud owner of signature Fender Telecaster and Stratocaster guitars. And if that wasn't enough, Fender introduced a signature Jim Root Jazzmaster at last year's NAMM convention.

He's been a member of the 'Knot fold since 1999 and has performed on each of the band's albums, although his performance on the group's self-titled debut was limited to two tracks.

Root was also a member of Stone Sour until 2014, performing on each of their five studio efforts.

Other interesting details include the fact that Jim has been in a relationship with Lacuna Coil singer Cristina Scabbia since 2004.

And now you can ask him anything! All you have to do is post your question in the comments section and wait for the community to share its thoughts by upvoting or downvoting your suggestion. Additionally, make sure to rate other people's suggestions as well.

Please keep the questions primarily focused on music and guitars.

We'll round up the questions soon and share the top ideas with Mr. Root himself.
