    The funny thing is, most beginning players will eventually get to know these individual steps. Yet when you combine them (that's the key!) you get awesome metal riffs. Thanks for pointing this out and for sharing this video.

    • @jasonstallworth

      Yes, combining them definitely gives you endless options!

    You are the man! i have been a metal head since birth in 81. You are my favorite RUclipsr guitarist, i could listen to you shred all day. I would love to jam with you one day, i am nowhere as good but love to play metal.

    That’s similar to the way that I do my songwriting. I find the chords I want to use, find a different kind of a variation of stroke patterns and then I try to find a way to create a pentatonic fill for the end of the riff every other time it comes up. Awesome video and I always love the information you give us.

    I agree with how much you've taught us recently.
    Between these lessons and your awesome Metal Riff Master course, we have been really enabled to compose.
    Hope that pinched nerve is calming down. Judging by your neck movement, it may well be.
    As always, you're awesome and I can't wait, after a little more practice to have my buddy from my twenties over and freak him out with my advancement since the hospital stay.
    Thanks @Jason!

    Luv this and have some suggestions for Part II: how about in a different metal key like E minor we see some power chord slides think Master of Puppets, scale riffs like (Metallica, Jump in the Fire) some inverted / bar power chords (Seek and Destroy style) where the root note is under the 5th, and maybe hammer ons (The Four Horsemen) sorry did not mean to have them all be Metallica, those songs were just fresh in my brain

    Hey man I just got to say you are Dynamite to me. I'm a self-taught musician I've been teaching myself now for a few years here and looking on RUclips and got books out the yin-yang but sometimes the books are tough so but you put it right out there and where I could really understand it and of course you can't go wrong with metal I was born in the mid-sixties but when I first heard kiss and I'm originally from New York I was like hooked and have been ever since and now that I'm in my 50s I'm progressing now I'm actually teaching myself how to play everything so that way I could put it together and it would be my own but I just want to thank you very much you are like the coolest I knew once you started talking I said this guy is my kind of people so thank you very much.

    I always love your videos. I've been playing guitar since '94 and I'm always trying to improve. I find it extremely difficult to "gallop" with high speed. Not sure why, they strings always catch too much on the pick. Can I ask what strings you use? Maybe I'll switch mine out and give them a try. Thanks again for sharing!

    Hi Jason. Thanks for this video! I appreciate how you break down each step bit by bit to allow us to see what you are doing and let us feel out what you are trying to get across.
    A question I have is how can a bass line be utilized in rock/metal music? Could it be like a bass line that is almost an independent lead line or a line that helps bring out the sound in everything else? Knowing just a little more would definitely help with creating bass lines that stray away from the eighth note following the root pattern that is utilized in many songs.
    Thanks!

    Another great one Jason. Question. On number 2 example it looks like you are continuing to fret on to the power cord. Are you just picking open strings in between? Which stings? Keep up the great content!

    • @jasonstallworth
      @jasonstallworth  3 года назад +2

      Dude, that’s a great question. I’ll normally pall mute that first note of the chord I just played before going to the next. And sometimes that’s an open string, like going for that A to the G. Hopefully that makes sense!

    I can do 16th notes and stuff fine but it always sounds sloppy when I try and hit more than one string. Then when I try and peddle the open E and hit the C5 and D5 it sounds like garbage.

    • @jasonstallworth

    • @SketchEtcher
      @SketchEtcher 3 года назад +1

      Thanks for the vote of confidence. Guitar is actually difficult to do well, even some of the simpler things like a single power chord require focus to keep the extra strings from ringing and all that. It definitely takes time, but I’m putting in a couple hours a day minimum, so hopefully soon it will feel like riding a bike. That’s what I want, that natural feeling like the instrument is an extension of your body, the way I feel on drums.
