  • Here are 3 metal riffs to practice your downpicking. What makes these riffs more interesting is that you're also combining other metal guitar techniques and they're not all in the same key.

    You can go through this video as many times as you want and can also skip to the end to play along with the full mix.

    Practice these down picking riffs daily. Once you get them down, start to expand on them and make them your own riffs.
    You can do this by adding notes, taking away notes and simplifying the riffs, playing the riffs faster or slower, or even better, try playing these riffs on a different part of the fretboard.

      I was pretty much a blues guy for years. Until, my brothers band needed a bass player, they played metal. I was out of my element. Now im hooked.

    if I picked up anything from James Hetfield, it was downpick, downpick, always downpick if you can :D (that Misfits punk influence they had) I learned Master of Puppets with downstrokes because I couldn't do alternate picking well at the time LOL
    One guitarist at the time I joined my band was kinda lazy and it drove me nuts, he would alternate pick repeated 8th notes at moderate tempo while I'm downpicking them and wondering what was going on. I can appreciate economy of motion, but it was a little much. Oh well, he was still a good player and pity it didn't work out.
    I do love the upper note shift on power chords, too. Occasionally breaking monotony is more important than some people realize. Regarding keys, I almost never never use the open B string on my 7-strings, just like my 5-string basses. It took a while for that to occur, though, and it was from just getting comfortable playing all over the neck. I abuse the D and C a lot, though :D Great flavor to drop below E when it's right.
    Thanks for sharing!

      Thank you, Emily, I always appreciate your thoughts and insight. Yeah, having one guitar alternate picking while the other is down picking can really throw things off. There's a difference in the feel of the riff with both

    Great video as usual. Was wondering, do you use a black star 100 watt head at home. If so, can ya actually keep the volume “house friendly, and wife safe”? I’d love to get one but worried I wouldn’t be able to use it at home.

    • @jasonstallworth
      @jasonstallworth  Месяц назад +1

      Dude that amp sounds great even at low volumes. It also has a 10 watt option. And you can also run it through your interface and use their Can Rig software, so it’s studio and low volume friendly in many ways

    I really enjoy your riffs and tutorials! I would love to see some metalcore tutorials from you, especially in the style of As I Lay Dying's songs like "Shaped by Fire," "Anger and Apathy," or "Upside Down Kingdom." Additionally, it would be great to see tutorials for some Bury Tomorrow songs, such as "Abandon Us," "Gods & Machines." and "boltcutter"
    Thanks!

    Man I love the riffs but always wondered where the single note riffs come from are they part of a scale?

    • @jasonstallworth
      @jasonstallworth  Месяц назад +1

      They’re essentially part of a scale but I don’t use that approach at all. I think about what sounds cool to me. Think about what you’re hearing in your head and work on translating that to the fretboard
