    That riff reminded me of the band Asia for some reason. Good lesson.

    Great lesson in more than one thing. I totally get what you’re saying about letting your playing being your own. You know as well as I do when you get a good riff and are in the groove it’s hard to play it the same exact way again.

      That’s true!! Once you’ve got something you’ve gotta play over and over so that it’s engrained and part of you!!

    I love the first riff. It reminded me of the melody of Run to the Hills by Iron Maiden.

    It’s funny because the “cool E” power chord can also be an inverted C Major, which is why it’s such a smooth transition because F’s 5th is a C

      @@jasonstallworth My favorite Black Metal band is Darkthrone. They have tons of albums (over 16) with some better than others. Good albums to start with are: Soulside Journey, A Blaze in the Northern Sky, Total Death, Old Star, Plaguewielder, Arctic Thunder, and their latest album Eternal Hails.
      They aren't total purists, though. They mix it up with lots of Rock and Thrash elements and seem to be having lots of fun.

    What drum program do you use or do you write/program your own drums? I use Cakewalk and have only messed with the drum program that comes with it. It's very minimal and lacks drum beats I want. I just don't have time to do drums and write for guitar, piano and strings.

    • @jasonstallworth
      @jasonstallworth  2 года назад

      For these videos, EZ Drummer but I have the Metal Machine and Death Metal packs and just pull in loops. I don’t program anything.
      For albums, I hire a real drummer.

    You are definitely helping me to get more motivated!!! Thank you!!! Would you have advice about when jamming with band just throwing things together, What to listen for that other members might be playing? And how to work on something good that you hear with your own ear that you think just clicks. We are a very new garage band a bunch of 40 year olds that haven’t played in a band since high school. Any advice for a new band of 40 year olds would be wonderful thank you in advance.

    • @jasonstallworth
      @jasonstallworth  2 года назад +1

      Dude, it's inspiring that you're starting a band in your 40s...in our older age (I'm 46), we know more of what we want and what we're willing to tolerate, and not! And we're more focused and driven! The best thing is ti make sure you're aligned with folks that have the same values and vision. If you have that, the process will be more seamless.

      Dude, you may like the Ibanez RG guitars with the Wizard necks because those fingerboards are a bit wider and the neck isn't as thick. I've noticed some guitars play better in my hands for those reasons!

    Augmented E Power chord...seems to be moving towards Death Metal.
    Wait, entire song Easy Living by WASP is written similarly in Diminished power chords...if I am correct.
    Dave Mustaine does this all the time.
    Your advice is very correct not to mimic.

    How to mute the E string after 2 strums ... I play it and it keeps vibrating 😂😭

    • @jasonstallworth
      @jasonstallworth  2 года назад

      That's a mix of using your palm is some cases and other cases using your fretting fingers to mute those strings. Usually a quick mute is all it takes. It's a technique that is learned over time with much practice.
