@@modev4163 Hello there. Well, I'm still playing and it really became my passion. Couldn't think of a life without guitar now. Thanks for asking brother. But one thing still holds me back. My speed level...
Jason your stuff has really helped this 60 year old Metalhead retiree, self teaching guitar for 3 yrs now something I always wanted to do! Love Metallica, Overkill, Diamond Head, Megadeth, Judas Priest, UFO (Schenker), etc mainly thrash! I am also from Tampa (Riverview) and plan on visiting Replay Guitar Exchange ASAP! Keep it Metal Mr. Stallworth!
Oh dude, I love all of those bands you mentioned and really glad to hear this video is helping you! Yeah, definitely swing by Replay...those are some great folks and they have a ton of guitars and gear!
The triplets in the first riff are not really triplets, but straight 16ths, although we're not nitpicking here, we're alternate picking ... I'll get my coat! The rest is bull's eye for metal playing and the riffs are fun to play and not just dry exercises so Jason is da man! :D
@@jasonstallworth hello Jason, thanks a lor for thos awesome videos and Tipps.. They help me getting a better metal player and guitar player in general ofc.. I wanted to check out those links but the first link is to something else, i guess its wrong, could you maybe update that link to the right one? Thanks alot!!! Id even consider buying the full course at some point but id like to check out the free practice tabs you mentioned
I usually play punk riffs and power chords, but have been trying to incorporate metal into my music. Been watching a few of your vids each day and after a week i’m already seeing improvement!! You teach better than any of the guitar teachers Ive had in the past. Keep it up man i love ur content!!
Thank you and I'm really glad this helps!!! Oh, dude, you may already have this but if not, make sure to grab my practice guide that I give my subs here: www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
Hello Jason Sir, I've been practising your gallop technique for five days now and I'm starting to sound so much better. Will start on these riffs from today onwards!
You rock man tytytytytytytyty weeks lessons in 1 session i am lucky you are HERE FOR YOUR FANS !!! THIS IS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS OF LESSONS YOU FUKN ROCK
Dude this is awesome. I started off playing 6 string guitar as a kid during the first wave of thrash but have only really played bass in stoner rock bands for the last 10 years or so going back to playing guitar in a thrash project is one hell of a shock to the system! I'm really glad I found these video lessons to help me relearn it all! You've saved me a ton of time 🤘🤘
Thank you for watching, dude, and really glad this helped! I actually have a free practice guide if you wanna download that: www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
Your channel is brilliant. I'm very happy I discovered it. Great free lessons. Thanks a lot brother. I've subscribed and i'll suggest your channel to my friends. You should write a thrash/death method. You're a good teacher. All the best
FANTASTIC MATE !!! you seem to be a rather patient ,caring man... You aren't drilling new players or intimidating to young folks... I've played thrash, from its inception... You give em something tangible... Basic stuff THAT SOUNDS GREAT... This I believe to be, particularly with thrash metal is what puts young people off - As we use maximum or near max gain/distortion- it creates a lot of noise...which over time,you learn to "manage" through damping and muting on and off, back and forth,up and down... And you aren't pumping heads with the rather intense,at times, pretty advanced jargon commonly used by THRASHEADS 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ ... I am humbled by your "casual, laidback " delivery , descriptives, plus the showing- again in a "steady" manner of the fingerings on the fretboard, and again particularly for THRASH, the all mighty picking and palm muting..... LOVE YOUR WORK MY GOOD MAN...In ending my blurb of cognitive dross - IF YOU ARE A BEGINNER..INTO METAL, ESPECIALLY THRASH OR EVEN MORE EXTREME FORMS OF METAL- BUY AN ELECTRIC GTR AND A SMALL COMBO WITH BUILT IN GAIN/DISTORTION ETC... TOO MANY PEOPLE, AND I CAN'T BLAME EM, WANT,OR THINK YOU MUST START ON AN ACOUSTIC AND"WORK UP" TO AN ELECTRIC...AND LEARN HEAPS OF CHORDS (YOU'LL NEVER USE 90%OF EM, LEARN THEM LATER) ACOUSTIC GUITARS PUT MASSIVE STRAIN ON YOUR FRETTING HAND DUE TO THE STRAIGHT UP AWKWARD ANGLES...AND THE BODIES ARE THICK- THE LAST THING YOU NEED FOR METAL... ELECTRIC GUITARS are half the thickness,have cutaways specially for ease of access to the high end of the fretboard, for leads more so... AND LISTEN TO THIS GOOD MAN.... nothing worse than teachers who are hyper, talking off topic, throwing techniques at you like a ninja star..... AHOY 🎸🎸🎸🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🦘🦘🦘 and THRASH HARD🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I've been playing metal/thrash metal guitar since the early 80s and have played in bands where I've had to learn a lot of covers. All the techniques you show here wrangle the genre down to basics. Well done. I got inspiration out of this enough to start finishing some songs my drummer and I have had on the shelf.
@@jasonstallworth You are most welcome. Tried a couple songs out today. Impressed the guys. Your lesson helped me make riffs simpler and to the point. Less busy. Less is more so to speak.
Dude this is perfect. I am a beginner guitar player. I have trouble finding new easy/beginner metal songs. These low learning curve riffs are exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!
Nice videos man! Could you make a tutorial about blackened thrash ( ex: Deathhammer, Hellish Crossfire, early Destruction) where you'd explain what scales and intervals they use and how to sound like that ?
Wow, this is a great! I'm still just a beginner but this vid is very easy to follow. You have a great personality and and awesome way of teaching. I'm almost 60 y.o. now but still a metal head at heart! Rock on brother !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah man, we're always gonna metalheads at heart and glad you found this video! Oh, and if you don't have my free practice guide, you can grab that here: www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
Thank you! I do include the complete tabs to over 80 riff lessons (and downloadable backing tracks) in my metal guitar course here: www.jasonstallworth.com/courses/
Thanks for the help man. Been listening to heavier music and wanted something to help me learn heavier rhythms. Thanks for providing something cool to practice!
@@jasonstallworth I like that shirt, I might have to get one of those. Especially where I live in Southern California, it is mostly just R&B and rap people. They have never even heard of one single Heavy Metal band or care to listen to one. It's a very low intellect, homeless, drugged out area. At least when I jam on my guitar, I am seen as either a Guitar God or a noise maker. There's no competition, literally. 🤘
Happy to have you hear! I also have a beginner's metal guitar course if that's something you're interested in (this has helped many of my subscribers): www.jasonstallworth.com/courses/
Riff #2 will Define my true character as a guitar player. It's a skull crusher for any Thrash Metal fan. From being rejected from a best friend I have the next big thing and it's thrash metal and it's my partner in my life 🤘🔥⚡
I practice every day for a few hours. I have serious hard callous on my left finger tips. They roll off the strings as I'm playing or get hung up. I took a block of wood and put sand paper 600 grit to sand down my callouss it works to a degree... Enough to jam without rolling off the strings lol. 🤘
This is so amazing. I've had the most fun playing a guitar in years watching your stuff, and these riffs are awesome! With practice, i actually now sound like i can play! Total legend, and i can't thank you enough for the inspiration.
Brother I love your videos. Thanks for sharing, seriously!! I've wanted to play for so long and was just always discouraged and broke 😂 Very late start, but I love a challenge and I have the thunder flowing through me dude, just gotta let it flow! 🤘🤘
Awesome to hear that! 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/
Omg! I'm so grateful for your videos! Me and my husband are learing a lots thanks to you and now our 6 year old son wants to learn so he can play his favorite metal songs 🖤
Hey Jason just subscribed, I am a metal player and have been looking for some great tutorials that actually break them down like you do, I think I found it, killer man, thanks🤘
Jason Stallworth watched it on the train home, soon as I got back I plugged in and 45 mins later I’d nailed them all. Like I said man, you made it easy to pick it up unlike a lot of tutorials on here. Gonna check out your band I’ll let you know if you got a new fan...🤘🏼🏴
@@dougbryant5417 Dude, that's awesome! And yeah man, here's the playlist for lyric videos from my latest album (and check the links in the video description to listen on Spotify, iTunes, etc): th-cam.com/play/PLUj6Esz5qJKKpvLzCNpGPVvh45TEeq_D4.html
Hey Jason, I'm loving the learning from you bro', I must say that I personally picked up on a 'Kill em All" vibe at the start of this one, I may be alone on this, but I was playing really slow at first and found myself hearing the patterns to a lot of old school thrash... Guess you can't hide inspiration and who wants to, personally I find that it only takes a slight variation in cadence's, perhaps key too! Damn I am so glad I found your channel mate, I've been practicing at least three times a day, hour and a half a piece, dude you've answered all the greenhorn questions I'd have been to proud to ask when I was younger, something to be said for being older man, I'm learning in proportion to the amount of effort I put in, which I didn't achieve when I was a youngin'... Cheers again mate.
You nailed it with the effort comment, dude! At the end of the day, it's all about how much we put in! Even though I've played consistently over the years, I wasted most of my 20s so I can relate. I certainly could have taken music more seriously back then. Making up for all of that now x10 (and have been for quite some time...I'm an older dude now!)
This is great! I learned that first thing off and experimented on it for like half an hour. I grew up a punk so the fast strumming and power chords are never a big deal, but those thrash riffs are taking me to a whole new level of guitarist. Thanks brotherman. I love your videos
Good stuff. This is exactly the kind of exercises I need. What drives me is the desire to play metal/thrash-metal/etc and this is the perfect type of exercise to keep me interested cuz I’m learning what I want to learn (unlike practicing open triads and strumming 😩).
Awesome and 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/
Thanks for this mate! Came across your beginner metal techniques yesterday & then saw this one this morning.. just been jamming out on that first riff for the last hour or so.. damn, triplets are fun! Thanks again, this is exactly what I needed! \m/
Can I use tritones in thrash I noticed on the e minor pentatonic there are 3 tritones on the 6 th and 12 th fret on the e bass string, also on open e and a sharp on a string. Though not using plectrum using my fingers, developing a technique for up and down strokes. Using guitar rig 6 Rammstein preset, with metal super strat washburn x40.
There is no guitar tabs for these Riffs I know just looked What the Hell Brother now I am going to have to watch the Video to write down these Riffs your teaching us next time Brother please provide Guitar Tabs for the Riffs your teaching us.
Hi Jason , you lessons are awesome brother , I m learning so much since I started watching your lessons mate , I’m a thrash metal fan and I have just started learning guitar at the age of 50 . Please keep posting great lessons buddy . Greetings from Australia. Thank you Jason

Hi man love your content, do you by any chance do 1 to 1 lessons for beginners over zoom? Also I'm relatively new to guitar (played on and off over the years) , bought a decent guitar but I find the tone to be very muddy, when playing thrash type riffs and hitting single notes on the A string it's hard to make it out, could that be a guitar set up issue?
Thank you dude! I haven't been doing one-on-one lessons but I did just release a metal guitar course for beginners here: www.jasonstallworth.com/courses/
Thank you, Starla, I appreciate that! I'm working on a new metal rhythm course now and hope to have it out early March, so make sure you're on my email so you'll get notified (I'm giving away a free practice guide as well): www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/

This lesson was actually refreshing. I learned something new without torturing myself trying to learn the spider walk or memorizing scales that I don't know how to use. Thanks.
Dude that’s what it’s all about...walking away with something you can actually use and glad this video helped!
i do something similar to spider but going down with the 2nd and 4th instead of reaching up
instead of a full spider you could just reach up with the 2nd finger and fret the root of the power chord
Foreal
Practice the spider walk and watch your playing get better

🤘🙏🏻
Great lesson bud. Very well explained plus your riff are sweet.
Thank you dude!
Jason Stallworth watched it on the train home, soon as I got back I plugged in and 45 mins later I’d nailed them all.
Like I said man, you made it easy to pick it up unlike a lot of tutorials on here.
Gonna check out your band I’ll let you know if you got a new fan...🤘🏼🏴
@@dougbryant5417 Dude, that's awesome! And yeah man, here's the playlist for lyric videos from my latest album (and check the links in the video description to listen on Spotify, iTunes, etc): th-cam.com/play/PLUj6Esz5qJKKpvLzCNpGPVvh45TEeq_D4.html
Hey Jason, I'm loving the learning from you bro', I must say that I personally picked up on a 'Kill em All" vibe at the start of this one, I may be alone on this, but I was playing really slow at first and found myself hearing the patterns to a lot of old school thrash...
Guess you can't hide inspiration and who wants to, personally I find that it only takes a slight variation in cadence's, perhaps key too! Damn I am so glad I found your channel mate, I've been practicing at least three times a day, hour and a half a piece, dude you've answered all the greenhorn questions I'd have been to proud to ask when I was younger, something to be said for being older man, I'm learning in proportion to the amount of effort I put in, which I didn't achieve when I was a youngin'... Cheers again mate.
You nailed it with the effort comment, dude! At the end of the day, it's all about how much we put in! Even though I've played consistently over the years, I wasted most of my 20s so I can relate. I certainly could have taken music more seriously back then. Making up for all of that now x10 (and have been for quite some time...I'm an older dude now!)
Thank you for this! I finally found a metal riff practice that I actually enjoy and learn from.
Great to hear that!!! You may also like my Metal Riff Master guitar course: www.jasonstallworth.com/courses/
Because of the first riff I learned triplets and now I just play them on repeat, sounds so heavy
🤘
This is great! I learned that first thing off and experimented on it for like half an hour. I grew up a punk so the fast strumming and power chords are never a big deal, but those thrash riffs are taking me to a whole new level of guitarist. Thanks brotherman. I love your videos
Dude you're welcome! Glad you liked this one! Yeah, thrash riffs are a different world!
Good stuff. This is exactly the kind of exercises I need. What drives me is the desire to play metal/thrash-metal/etc and this is the perfect type of exercise to keep me interested cuz I’m learning what I want to learn (unlike practicing open triads and strumming 😩).
Awesome and 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/
@@jasonstallworth Cool. Just signed up for the free guide. Thanks!
Cool riffs. I didn't knew you have álbuns. Gonna see that.
Cheers from Portugal 🤘🍺🇵🇹
🙏 🤘
Thanks for this mate! Came across your beginner metal techniques yesterday & then saw this one this morning.. just been jamming out on that first riff for the last hour or so.. damn, triplets are fun! Thanks again, this is exactly what I needed! \m/
Dude, you're welcome!
Thanks for the easy to follow lessons , its difficult, being a 50 year old beginner !! Keep it metal Jason.

Can I use tritones in thrash I noticed on the e minor pentatonic there are 3 tritones on the 6 th and 12 th fret on the e bass string, also on open e and a sharp on a string.
Though not using plectrum using my fingers, developing a technique for up and down strokes.
Using guitar rig 6 Rammstein preset, with metal super strat washburn x40.
Dude there’s no right or wrong way. Try different things and see what comes out. It has to sound good to you at the end of the day
There is no guitar tabs for these Riffs I know just looked What the Hell Brother now I am going to have to watch the Video to write down these Riffs your teaching us next time Brother please provide Guitar Tabs for the Riffs your teaching us.

Hi man love your content, do you by any chance do 1 to 1 lessons for beginners over zoom? Also I'm relatively new to guitar (played on and off over the years) , bought a decent guitar but I find the tone to be very muddy, when playing thrash type riffs and hitting single notes on the A string it's hard to make it out, could that be a guitar set up issue?
Thank you dude! I haven't been doing one-on-one lessons but I did just release a metal guitar course for beginners here: www.jasonstallworth.com/courses/
Dude, love your advice. BTW, that skull i keep seeing reflected off your guitar looks pretty badass.
Ah yeah, I didn't notice that reflection until you pointed it out!
Just discovered your videos recently. I love them! You're a really good teacher . Thanks man!
Thank you, Starla, I appreciate that! I'm working on a new metal rhythm course now and hope to have it out early March, so make sure you're on my email so you'll get notified (I'm giving away a free practice guide as well): www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
