Just wanted to say.. thank you for all of your lessons! It's exactly what I was looking for! I am a late in life starter.. started at 52.. and have been playing for 2 years...there are times I felt like giving up.. because I thought I wasn't very good..and would never be able to do things like this... No one else really teaches this.. or shows you things like this.. I am grateful to have found this.. thank you..and keep doing what your doing to help us beginner to intermediate players who want to play metal!
Bro this is Rico, trying to get back to practicing. Dealing with a torn left bicep from just lifting a half empty storage bin, not even 20 pounds. Raised over my head and I was on a ladder to get it on a storage rack. I heard a pop. Makes it worst I’m left handed. Besides practicing I used to be a bodybuilder in the 80s when I lived in Europe. Had to redesign my back routine by utilizing a hammer style grip, this puts less stress. Also reduce the weight and rest between sets. Did not want to bore you but you are really cool and very humble. Even through I’m 60 and served served my country for over 40 years, became successful despite being raised from New York without a mom. My dadis my biggest inspiration. I mentored hundreds over my career did some cool and sometimes insane jobs for the military still look to the younger folks like yourself for inspiration. Keep up the good work. I read your book great job. I hope this year you achieve your goal of 100k subscribers, you worked your butt off to provide excellent content and I will pass the word to my friends about your channel. Once again did not meant for this to be long but you need to be recognized for your milestones. God bless Rico.
Brother, I appreciate your comment and it's awesome to know you've impacted so many lives. That's what it's all about. Also great to hear you're still lifting. It's in our blood and it's something we'll always do.
I bought Jason's metal rhythm coarse it helped me alot ,he was born to be a teacher I don't there's anybody better on TH-cam personally then Jason as a teacher .Thank you for all you do.
Hey Jason I started playing a few months ago and I gotta say watching you recently has helped me to play the metal music I always wanted to play as a very beginner and now I have the confidence to start my band
I've been playing or learning guitar for the past 41 years. By 1986 I had my chops and was in my prime. I finished the 80s in a thrash band doing Slayer, Metallica, Exodus covers and originals. Grunge came and I was 21. The demand was for a whole other style of guitar. It made me lazy. By 2000 I fell into the new metal thing and was playing 7 strung guitars and focusing on playing dark down tuned guitar. Had a head injury and that put a stop to my playing. I forgot most of what I used to know. As I heald I used guitar as a coping technique and as therapy, but I was frustrated because it was as if I started all over again and barely knew any of the things I used to know. Lead playing has alluded me since I picked the guitar back up 5 years ago. This video in so.e way unlocked my memory and seemed so familiar to me. Now I'm starting to put the pieces back together with your teachings here. Thank you for this vid. Just what I needed.
Yeah, I wasn't a fan of that whole grunge era! And dude, that's awesome to hear this video helped you! Also grab my free practice guide with tabs if you don't have it yet: www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
@@jasonstallworth Doing it. I have an audition tonight so I've been playing since 8 oclock this morning getting loose. I really loved the grunge era. Mostly Alice in Chains. Jerry sure can pump out the sledge. I became a huge fan of the Pixies and Nirvana really spoke to me in a big way at the soul level. I got to cover so many great 90s songs. A lot of the bands around my area who covered grunge tunes were always looking for a metal guitar player. It was a lot of fun and I picked up a few Fenders and Gibsons along the way that I will not selll.
Hi , Im going to say Thank you!!!! I’m 44 now , I always wanted to play guitar, I’m big fun of all kind of metal music , I start so many time and give up, but I had not really good teachers, face to face, but here on that video it’s so simple, English it’s not my first language, I’m Polish , but I understand you more than anyone else ! Thank you So much for your hard work here to help people like me , , Thank you Jason
Thing is, when I first started out back in 2015, I just went directly to fingericking techniques. Now in 2021, I'm getting started with the plectrum because I really really want to play metal. TY for making such important videos for a noob like me, Jason Sir!
I've played for the guitar for 30 years or more and I've been soloing for the last 13 years and I've always played rock It's kind of stuck in my head since growing up during the beginning of rock and roll around 60s 70s. However recently I've started really getting into metal and I'm actually pretty good at some of the scales but I need some help. Nice to see your older guy like me It gives me hope to shred!
@@Mikestheking thank you brother and welcome to the channel! I just posted a new riff lesson today: 3 Death-Thrash Metal Riffs to Practice Every Day (for Alternate Picking) th-cam.com/video/uElUqBEYkQ4/w-d-xo.html
@jasonstallworth Thank you bro I'm going to check you out for sure I realized that shredding's actually a little easier than it looks It's pretty awesome though.
54 seconds in Dude You are a Freaking Mad Man. I've been around Mike Gross, Mark Day, George Lynch and a few others and You are the BEST. Your attitude and style will lead millions I'll get the Word out on You Jason Stallworth. I'll be sticking around for a while ok back to the video
I've just gotten back on the axe after 5 or so years after my wife and kids got me a real nice fender, played in bands everything for 12 years before that This guy is legit Great pick up old habits and deffentaly picked up new ones keep it alive brother and thank you 🤜🤛
I just wanted to say thank you I played rhythm all throughout the 80s played in bands I thought I would never learn lead. Iam finally starting to get it I really like the way you teach. Thanks again
FINALLY someone who is able to explain simply but also slow down techniques and show how it’s done Thankyou Jason I’ve been playing for some time and have been wondering for a long time how a galloping triplet was done Due to it’s sound I figured it was more complicated than it actually is In an older video you put my mind to rest I rarely subscribe to guitar players because I find most are brilliant players but can’t really explain what they are doing So in saying that you definitely have my subscription
Awesome to hear that and thank you for the sub!! Also, if you don’t have it already, be sure to get my free practice guide that I give to all my subs here: www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
Nice advise! That's the best learner lead video I've seen. I'm 47 and played since I was 11. Always just wrote riffs and know the blues scales but this is a nice intro to metal lead. Thanks, bud!
I really appreciate your approach to teaching. Emphasis on technique over speed, building good habits, and making sure that we all build our own style 👍
ThanX brother. I recently found your page & it hits dead center. Right on time with what I want & need to do. Learn some leads. After years and years being in a rhythm rut, admittedly loving much of it, rhythm playing is a lot of fun. I'd love to be able to find myself and express it with my music. Up until now, much of it just did not click. I am self taught, and I just I the last 2 years picked up guitar again after a 20 year hiatus while I was being dad. Gotta say, the modern era of learning is WAY better than when I started in the 80s reading tab. Anyways, I just wanted to say thanX for taking the time to share some insights with us guitar prospectors. Gonna share your page with my group of all beginner players.
You Sir totally show great sincerity when you speak of making it your own . You truly are genuine in wanting to help others become the musician they are seeking to become . Hell of a job !
@@jasonstallworth No problem. I get excited and want to support all I can someone who puts there heart into following there passion full time. Thank you for putting out a high quality product that's helping all of us!!
Awesome and really glad this helped! Also, if you don’t have it already, be sure to get my free practice guide that I give to all my subs here: www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
10x Jason. You are great. I love your attitude, and you're direct and very practical approach. I' recommend every guitar player to watch your videos. Many thanks, long may you ride
Dude I can totally get improved watching you! I'm 2 years in, feel stuck , yr video pulls me right back on track. What's yr background, cause in my opinion you're the best.
I'm so glad you chose this topic, Jason. While tone comes 98% from the players fingers, the personality and signature sound comes from the embellishments like slide, vibrato and ultimately the bends. One will always recognize a hero's signature from these traits. Randy Rhodes, Zakk Wylde, Steve Vai, Satriani, and my personal favorite, Carlos Santana. Great topic, brother.
I really like the fact you stress developing your own style so much! While I manage to get the hang of favourite riffs, I hardly can do the more intricate or fast leads and kind of gave up on lead. But your video made me realise I should find what fits me in lead as I have done for rythm playing! I like mellow melodic licks but also aggressive riffs. Marrying those styles without sounding cheesy is a challenge 😂
Thank you, brother! Yeah, I like to try to simplify things. Too many teachers focus on showing off and wanting their students to see how amazing they are. But teaching isn't about you - it's about what works and resonates with your students
Thank you! and thanks for the sub! Also, if you don’t have it already, be sure to get my free practice guide that I give to all my subs here: www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
I wish i had this video like 6 years ago or so, my guitar skills would have been way better and different, still very very useful and well explained, I love your passion, it makes it much easier for me to concentrate on what you're trying to teach us.
Awesome man and thank you for the support! And if you don't have it yet, grab my free practice guide (video and tabs): www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
Excelent as always Jason. This is very valuable for a guitarrist like me, who has always struggled and got frustrated. Thank you so much. Blessings. By the way, I bought your Masterpeace CD. Is awesome. Love it.
@@jasonstallworth Although I can't solo (yet) I love the way you mix melodic solos with shredding. Personally, I like melodic solos better. But the way you mix them is beautiful.
@@joshuasanchez7270 if I had to choose one, it would always be melodic. Constant shred gets boring after about 20 seconds and everyone is playing the same sweep arpeggios these days!
I’ve definitely considered myself to be a rhythm player. These lessons are very useful and just the right pace. I know that with consistent practice I can become a great lead player too! Also I dig your pizza shirt. I gotta get myself one ✌️
@@jasonstallworth dude I'd love to get some tabs or a DVD..I get so much spam on my email I lose it..yea some of those alternate picks running the fretboard I'd love to have in my toolbox..I do like the style of shredding but also the emphasis on the songs ya play..makes big difference on how others hear ya..ints not about running the fretboard..it's about what's needed for the song
@@jasonstallworth Ever since I was in the 8th grade and heard AC/DC for the first time, and shorty after that the mighty Van Halen - I've always dreamed of making those sounds come out of a guitar... but as one of those "can't dance, can't sing, can't tap my foot to the beat" kind of guys - never thought it would be possible. But, lessons like this one - after mastering them - make me feel like I am EVH himself!!! So dang fun. I really appreciate what you do Mr. Jason, and I love your positive vibe and "you do you" mantra... just what I need, cause I sure as heck can't do anyone else!
@@ramaynard77 Man, that's what it's all about...bringing out the best version of yourself and allowing that to come through your playing! It's true freedom!
Thank you for this lesson…….simply amazing……..also, i see pizzapacman …..’back the way you came’……thats a cool album name….let’s have some fun everyone.add a song title to this album…. Album title: back the way you came Song 1: you can’t enter here……. Song 2:
I actually include 160 backing tracks and 80 riffs (more are coming) in my metal guitar course. You can read about it and see if it's for you here: www.jasonstallworth.com/courses/
Jason im watching alot of crap and so far you are my favorite. So your prob going to see alot me watching your stuff over and over im doing your bendy thingi just dont seem like it sounds the same anyway this is w2haqt im working with. Ibanez 6 string got5 a marshall peddal the jack hammer with a peavey bass amp and frankly there is too many knobs any advice you give me i will take to heart im fricking 51 years old i sing do keraoki usually by myself cause i bought the equipment living trailor court and have all concert equiped... vodka singing and guitar not allways in that order🤘🤝
hello there!! im writing from Argentina, i ve started to play a year ago, im 47, do u think it s to late for me? by the way, i wanted to say your way to explain things its just easy for me to understand !! thank u!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
I think I was using Positive Grid's BIAS Amp 2 but I have a complete post of my tones for amp sims and real amps here: www.jasonstallworth.com/metal-tones-virtual-and-real-amp-settings/
I am playing faster at alternate picking, and I can do it pretty fast on all 5 strings quite well, but I find alternating picking on the thin E string harder. Especially as I keep hittng my volume control. I very often play in Em, but Dm is only 2 frets up. I try to playing in different keys, but I get lost in other keys, even though I know the shapes
Hey Jason, do you have a designated course for just doing beginner lead lessons that come in different modules, starting from first course and so on, please let me know because that would be something I would be interested in, I play mostly rhythm metal but I want to try to expand my playing but it is hard for me, thanks brother, let me know
I'm definitely going to be creating something specific for lead playing and it will start with beginner concepts and go into intermediate stages. I'm going to be starting that soon!
Thank you, brother! I don't do lessons but I do have guitar courses. This is my course that goes over the fundamentals of metal: www.jasonstallworth.com/courses/

Dude, I'm so glad this was helpful! Yeah, so much goes into your personal style and that's where our focus should be!
If tone was 98% from the fingers there would be no market for different amps, pedals and pickups.
I really like the fact you stress developing your own style so much! While I manage to get the hang of favourite riffs, I hardly can do the more intricate or fast leads and kind of gave up on lead. But your video made me realise I should find what fits me in lead as I have done for rythm playing! I like mellow melodic licks but also aggressive riffs.

Man, developing your own style (to me) is the most important thing you can do as a musician! 🤘

@@jasonstallworth Although I can't solo (yet) I love the way you mix melodic solos with shredding. Personally, I like melodic solos better. But the way you mix them is beautiful.
@@joshuasanchez7270 if I had to choose one, it would always be melodic. Constant shred gets boring after about 20 seconds and everyone is playing the same sweep arpeggios these days!
Jason is the ultimate bruh!
🙏 🤘
Can I just say I love who you are my man ty
I appreciate that!
Great lesson! 🤘
🙏🏻🤘
Thank you very much for your videos , I like how you teach . I just started learning how to play guitar and this helps alot!
Awesome I'm glad to hear that!
I also have a beginner's metal guitar course that may help you even further here: www.jasonstallworth.com/courses/
Great lessons. Keep up the good work.
🤘
Thank you!
🙏🤘
I’ve definitely considered myself to be a rhythm player. These lessons are very useful and just the right pace. I know that with consistent practice I can become a great lead player too! Also I dig your pizza shirt. I gotta get myself one ✌️
My wife has a shirt with the smaller slice! 🍕 She got that as an anniversary gift for us years ago
As always great lesson.
🤘
Amazing as always Jason!!! Great video 💪😃
🙏 🤘
@@jasonstallworth 💪😃
Excellent video. I used to play (mostly rhythm) and have since gotten back to playing. This will help me immensely! Love the tone and sustain!

@@brendongrindlay-whieldon8618 I’ve got those pickups in the case! Not sure what I’m gonna do with them
Thanks! Love your sound. Been listening to you on Spotify...EXCELLENT!!!

Dude kirk Hammett and dimebag was myfave..but my later yrs I'm into david gilmour style m.but I'd love to learn th9se techniques..I'd live it..
Love some Gilmour, too!
@@jasonstallworth dude I'd love to get some tabs or a DVD..I get so much spam on my email I lose it..yea some of those alternate picks running the fretboard I'd love to have in my toolbox..I do like the style of shredding but also the emphasis on the songs ya play..makes big difference on how others hear ya..ints not about running the fretboard..it's about what's needed for the song
KEEP DOIN THESE BRO 😆!
🤘
Hey Jason do you have more lessons like this one for beginner lead that comes after this one
Just saw your other comment!
Well, that was fun!
Great to hear that dude!
@@jasonstallworth Ever since I was in the 8th grade and heard AC/DC for the first time, and shorty after that the mighty Van Halen - I've always dreamed of making those sounds come out of a guitar... but as one of those "can't dance, can't sing, can't tap my foot to the beat" kind of guys - never thought it would be possible. But, lessons like this one - after mastering them - make me feel like I am EVH himself!!! So dang fun. I really appreciate what you do Mr. Jason, and I love your positive vibe and "you do you" mantra... just what I need, cause I sure as heck can't do anyone else!
@@ramaynard77 Man, that's what it's all about...bringing out the best version of yourself and allowing that to come through your playing! It's true freedom!
Shreddier than my breakfast cereal dude! Some great advice here 🤘
🤘🤘🤘
Thank you for this lesson…….simply amazing……..also, i see pizzapacman …..’back the way you came’……thats a cool album name….let’s have some fun everyone.add a song title to this album….
Album title: back the way you came
Song 1: you can’t enter here…….
Song 2:
Oh, I do like that…back the way you came!!
Do you have any tips for tapping techniques?
Yes! Watch this video: th-cam.com/video/Oo-EWIG59lM/w-d-xo.html
what 'bout sliding in (or out)., hammer ons 'n pull offs (while vibratin'), breaking strings while bending an octave... 8)
This is for beginners, so we're just covering some basics. I have plenty of tutorials on the other stuff (check my playlist for lead guitar)
@@jasonstallworth Whoaaa! That was a brief response! I was just sayin', i didn't mean no disrespect. P.S. - thanks for the "circle" lesson.
Also.. what amp do you use with your Ibanez? The tone is 👍
I've got a blog post going over my tones and setting here: www.jasonstallworth.com/metal-tones-virtual-and-real-amp-settings/
Great video lesson. Thank you. Can you recommend where I can get good backing tracks to play along with ?
I actually include 160 backing tracks and 80 riffs (more are coming) in my metal guitar course. You can read about it and see if it's for you here: www.jasonstallworth.com/courses/
Great thanks
Jason im watching alot of crap and so far you are my favorite. So your prob going to see alot me watching your stuff over and over im doing your bendy thingi just dont seem like it sounds the same anyway this is w2haqt im working with. Ibanez 6 string got5 a marshall peddal the jack hammer with a peavey bass amp and frankly there is too many knobs any advice you give me i will take to heart im fricking 51 years old i sing do keraoki usually by myself cause i bought the equipment living trailor court and have all concert equiped... vodka singing and guitar not allways in that order🤘🤝

Great video. What are your amp settings to get that amazing tone?
I think I was using Positive Grid's BIAS Amp 2 but I have a complete post of my tones for amp sims and real amps here: www.jasonstallworth.com/metal-tones-virtual-and-real-amp-settings/
Thanks Jason! Love your lessons.
I am playing faster at alternate picking, and I can do it pretty fast on all 5 strings quite well, but I find alternating picking on the thin E string harder. Especially as I keep hittng my volume control. I very often play in Em, but Dm is only 2 frets up. I try to playing in different keys, but I get lost in other keys, even though I know the shapes
Yeah that can be tough because it's a longer reach
What effects do you use and what amp
Just some delay for leads
Hey Jason, do you have a designated course for just doing beginner lead lessons that come in different modules, starting from first course and so on, please let me know because that would be something I would be interested in, I play mostly rhythm metal but I want to try to expand my playing but it is hard for me, thanks brother, let me know
I'm definitely going to be creating something specific for lead playing and it will start with beginner concepts and go into intermediate stages. I'm going to be starting that soon!
@@jasonstallworth cool Jason thanks
more dream theater! lol - jk you rock dude. made me decide to pick up guitar again. u do zoom lessons?>,
Thank you, brother! I don't do lessons but I do have guitar courses. This is my course that goes over the fundamentals of metal: www.jasonstallworth.com/courses/
