I'm playing this in the key of C sharp minor (in standard tuning). This makes things interesting if you're not used to playing in this key.
Also, be sure to hang around for our usual Guitar Chat at the end.
Keep it Metal,
Jason

Love that move at 0:30 from the C# minor to the C# sus.

[@jasonstallworth]

It’s those subtle and sometimes simple notes that can make a big difference in the riffs!

[@markw4105]

The way you went about teaching this lesson was just spot on. Great video! As someone that needed to hear it, thanks for the talk at the end. Heavy decisions ahead. Hearing a different perspective was what I needed. 🤘

[@jasonstallworth]

Glad this lesson (and the chat) helped!

Dude I was afraid it sounded too ‘poppy’ but it just kinda came out that way and ended up being a fun tune to play

[@siennagarcia1459]

The main riff sounds like Anthrax "antisocial"

[@jasonstallworth]

🤘🤘🤘

[@Ben_the_Ignorant]

That sounds like classic eighties riffage.
