James Root

My hero

Who is a hero? The hero is a person who has done something great, something good for most people. Everyone thinks differently. For some people the hero is the same idol. A hero is someone that wants to be a man that does what you like. In my case there is no person who could be my hero. I have an idol, but I've never met and known a man who could be my hero. For me this is even an incentive. After all, if you do not have a hero, why not become one for others?

If you take the hero in the sense of an idol, for me this is an American rock guitar player James Root. James Donald "Jim" Root was born in October 2, 1971. He is also known by his number #4. James Root is an American musician known for being the rhythm guitarist of the heavy metal band, Slipknot, and the lead guitarist for hard rock band, Stone Sour. He was the last member to join the current line-up of Slipknot, in January, 1999. In July 2007, Fender released a Jim Root Signature Fender Telecaster guitar.

I marvel at his technique and speed of playing the guitar. He was found several times in different magazines and ceremonies, the best rhythm guitarist in the world. I strive to achieve the same result like he does. And in general he is a very happy and cheerful person.

I cannot choose the only person who could be my hero. After all, in the world there are a lot of good people who have done a lot of great and good things. And they can be awarded the title Hero.
