Y'all get the course. I did and I'm impressed. He's putting together great content! If you were born and raised when metal and hard rock was born, you lived in the greatest time to be young musically! Truth!
Man... I’m an 80’s metal junkie having grown up in that period. Jason is my favorite RUclipsr these days!!! Keep these 80s lessons coming.. I eat this s#*t up!!!
Dude, there's is something seriously magical about our era, from music to movies and many other things! And thank you for the kind words and support! I really appreciate that!
I have spent tons of money trying to learn guitar. It is soooo much easier to learn when you are also playing riffs that sound like something you love. This is why the way of teaching you are doing is working for so many people. Please keep it up and love the hard rock riff video as well.
Brother, this is so awesome to hear and I'm humbled and honored to have folks like you on here getting results and seeing progress! That's what it's all about, and we just have an absolutely cool community of guitarists on here!!
That's why I bought Jason's guitar courses. He isn't basically telling us we dont have to be his drone clones. My journey to learning has been way different because I had to learn with my RIFFing hand being semi disabled and other guitarists I try learning from just don't get that I couldn't practice like them, I more so can now but the holier than thou know it all attitudes made me stop asking them questions. “A good teacher can never be fixed in a routine. Each moment requires a sensitive mind that is constantly changing and constantly adapting. A teacher must never impose his student to fit his favorite pattern. A good teacher protects his pupils from his own influence. A teacher is never a giver of truth; he is a guide, a pointer to the truth that each student must find for himself. I am not teaching you anything, I just help you to explore yourself.”-Bruce Lee
After many years of just power chords you explained something to this hair metal nut that no-one could clearly explain to him. My guitar playing skills expanded tremendously. Thanks
80's metal riffs are so kick ass , since I was a teenager in the 80's , my playing is pretty much exclusively metal from that era , Jason , you are the best teacher on you tube for this kick ass style , I've learned some killer ideas from your videos , keep rockin and keep the metal riffs coming !
Thank You Man! I've watched many of your lessons in a few days time. And I'm already getting better everyday when just doing things in a way you say they should be done!
Thank you, it's awesome to hear that! Oh, and you may have this, but if not, make sure you grab my practice guide that I give to all of my subscribers here: www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
You're like the movie Rocky when I watch that I want to workout when I watch you I want to go rock out keep it up brother I like The Beginner's stuff because I'm a beginner in heavy metal
You are absolutely amazing dude. You are an incredible guitar player ! Thankyou for all the tutorials, can't wait to try this one out. Love 80's metal. 🤘🏻 Keep it metal Jason 🤘🏻
Dude love the lessons I was just watching and you mentioned skipping strings.just befor that I was man got skip a string then you stop and go over that thx man.long time guitar owner but never stuck to it with all that is going on I am now thx
I am no metal head but this video put a big smile on my face. You make that guitar and amp make some decent, PROPER DECENT sounds. Gonna check out your tutorial uploads this weekend. Thanks!!
Awesome to hear that!! And I try to cover some other styles as well that can help guitarists, in general! I also have a practice guide that I giveaway to all of my subs, so feel free to grab that here if you don't have if already: www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
Another good idea can be to sometimes focus on the picking hand only, when practicing. Choose 2-3 boring chords or something, and try to play different rhythm patterns, grooves with your picking hand (pedal notes, alternate picking, string skipping, or even experiment with pauses/stops).
You're welcome and really glad this helped!! Also, you probably already know about this but I am giving away a free practice guide to all of my subs here: www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
I'm with you!! Lynch just had this way of making every note its own ecosystem, if that makes sense! Oh, dude, you probably already have this but if not, make sure you grab the practice guide that I'm giving all of my subs: www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/

Wow, man. Way to validate what I've been doing for 30 years! I rarely learn new songs, so I don't rip somebody else off. I instead, write stuff that kind of sounds like EVH, or Poison, or TNT, etc. What you did in this video is EXACTLY what I do every time I get bored with my own playing. I move common chord structures around the neck, and make them an arpeggio. Sometimes, they sound best as arpeggiated chords. Other times, they make cool diminished or sustained chords I knew nothing about. "What if I omit this string from a chord? What if I add an open string? What if it sounds terrible as a full chord, but I arpeggiate it?" I really think this is the kind of shit that made great guitarists great. Not that I'm great, but I think it's a correct mindset in order to be unique. This video made me subscribe. All the best to you, and thanks!
80s METAL IS THE SHIT!!! MAN THIS A KILLER VIDEO!! IMMENSELY HELPFUL FOR SURE!!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! I WATCH ALL YOUR VIDEO'S FROM BEGINNING TO END MULTIPLE TIMES!!🤘
@@jasonstallworth OH YEAH!! IT IS/WAS AND WILL BE NEXT TIME I WATCH IT TOO... TOTALLY AWESOME BUD!! AND BY THE WAY AFTER MY FINGERS WARMED UP WE (my fingers and I) REALLY DIGGIN THE STRINGS!! MADE BIG DIFFERENCE!! THANK YOU MUCH!! 🤘😊🤘
@@jasonstallworth glad to be here...I've watched this channel grow from the beginning...your God given talent has taken you a long way and continues to do so 🙏💪🤘🍻
Played through the lesson with you got to the end and two hours later snapped out of my session with missing time and remember nothing but was feeling good lol. I'm thinking I should record the session if I become interested in writing. For me playing is all about losing touch with everything but the music, Ill call it audio meditation🤣 FYI George Lynch is my inspiration. Thanks Jason 🤘
this is amazing you are amazing. how did i not find you earlier (by the way i love you) i am a nineties kid even worse a bass player! even even worse a Primus bass player who taught myself how to play guitar. which has turned into what i call bulimic 80s metal ie indulgent (idon't practice enough) Ideally though it's psychadelic 80s metal is what I am aiming for my 10 album (all on spotify, yt, apple music blarf it's not exciting but also barf team android! you got me too pumped up i'm gonna buy the course now or whatever
bad news the lessons have no explanation in them on par with this video disappointed bc now i'm doubting the other courses i was gonna get. at least this is less than 1/10 the price of voiles' guitar acceleration
Hey Jason, love your videos. What do you recommend for when you've written a song, and later you realize sounds a lot like a riff off an actual song. I came up with a song i named headless horseman, back when i was in high school. I still play the song, but I've come to realise the main riff almost sounds like Powerslave (i didn't write it that way on purpose), but then i use totally different chorus, bridge, solo and outro. So how do you deal with, when writing a song, and using riff ideas (whether intentionally or not) that sound similar to other music from other bands. Thanks.
That can certainly happen more often than we want it to. One thing is play the riff in a different key (this oftentimes forces you to play it in a different way too)
Thank you!! In the lesson part, I was using the blue channel on my EVH 5150 III EL34 amp and I added a little delay to that. Now, in the intro, you heard a full mix. For that, I was using Positive Grid's BIAS Amp 2 and FX 2, the Insane 5153 amp that they have (with a little delay as well) Oh, and you may have this already but if not, make sure you download my practice guide that I give to my subs: www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
@@jasonstallworth for sure brother. I'm 51 with a spinal injury and diabetic neuropathy. Cold and rain mixed are devastating. I'm going to winter there. The salt air kept me from being sick with my sinuses and even with the rainy season, it never hurt. I'm home in the mountains of North East Tennessee. My parents are in rough shape and I've got a granddaughter here or when I went remote in my engineering position in mid 2019, I would've be right back down there man. You're a God send. You talk about church music and that's impressive. I have deep roots there and I love metal and 80s Rock. You can be saved and like to jam heavy. Your resume is exactly my focus. You're helping me so much.
@@jasonstallworth I'm serious. You seem like a cool talented guy I'd like to play with or at least sit in on a session. My playing is nowhere near yours, but I like it. I'd like to see some hard 80s Rock like Ratt style and some Crue and EVH lessons even though you focus on metal. I'd pay for courses like that as well. The episode in the captain America shirt that was almost like skynard at the start is cool. What I like most about you is you don't teach covers, but creative similarities. We need more rock as well as good Sabbath and Dio style metal that wasn't all shred, but had space and not constant guitar. Space made the jam parts pop out. The build up was key. 1000 notes a second isn't as impressive as a well put together song where the tempo varied. The song black Sabbath was simple, but that ending after the build up was impressive for a debut song, the lyrics weren't as important as the journey it leads you on if that makes sense.
I've thought about doing a course on a specific subgenre, which 80s would be it!! I am going to start the production and layout for my lead course soon!
I’m an intermediate level guitarist but I wanna start making up my own riffs and solos in the 80s glam metal style but I don’t where to begin or get into groove with my scales without them sounding like scales if anyone has any tips please respond
Oh yeah, I grew up on Whitecross and other bands in that genre like Guardian, Barren Cross, and several others. Rex is an amazing guitarists and always loved his instrumentals
