For years, I've never been satisfied with my chord selection for the whip portion of Slipknot. After much thought, I finally came up with an approach I like.
In the chart below, column A shows the chords Jerry is soloing over. One option is to play the same chords as shows in column B. Another option is to play off the 3rd & 5th notes of the chord using power chords (1st & 5th chord notes, omitting the 3rd note), shown in columns C & D.
You can mix & match the chords by choosing any chord from any column.
I choose to play all power chords shown in column F. Column G shows the root string of each chord.
The first (4) chords create an ascending/descending motion. The remainder of the chords create descending motion. This motion parallels what Phil often plays.
Once again, you can mix & match chords from columns B-D, and play them anywhere on the fretboard. Use what you like and make it your own.
