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.)

If you want a deeper, behind-the-scenes look at how .5: The Gray Chapter came to be, check out our exclusive "The Sound & the Story" recording.
