Thanks to Fret12, an axe-wielding maggot can learn to play Slipknot's new album, .5: The Gray Chapter, in its entirety.

Of course, having entire albums tabbed out is nothing new, but learning the song from the artists themselves is. Jim Root was the latest to be featured in Fret12's video series, The Sound and the Story, which was released back on April 8.

In addition to the lessons, you also get a glimpse at the band's songwriting process along with live footage from Knotfest and an interview with vocalist Corey Taylor.
