5 Thrash Metal Guitar Riffs to Practice Every Day

These are thrash metal guitar riffs and techniques you should practice every day to become a better rhythm guitarist.
You’ll be practicing different techniques in each of the 5 metal riffs. And you’ll also be combining methods in each riff.

Even better, I show you how to write your own thrash metal-style riffs in these lessons. Because you’re not just learning 1 riff or the technique. You’re also learning how to go beyond and fit these riffs into songs.
Here are the times for each lesson (and thrash guitar techniques being played):
00:42 - Thrash metal riff lesson 1 - triplets, palm muting with riffs
04:36 - Thrash metal riff lesson 2 - Fast downstroke riffs
09:21 - Thrash metal riff lesson 3 - Riffs with hammer-ons and pull-offs
14:58 - Thrash metal riff lesson 4 - Alternate picking with roll-offs
20:04 - Thrash metal riff lesson 5 - Triplet chromatic riffs
22:57 - 3 ways to support me and my channel, which the links are listed above
Practicing these patterns every day will also help you with playing transitions on the guitar. Think of a verse going into a pre-chorus, then a chorus, and then maybe a bridge.
The patterns you’re playing will help you create those types of riffs that tie the different parts of a song together.
Keep it Metal,
Jason

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

[@Wejohnsn]

instead of a full spider you could just reach up with the 2nd finger and fret the root of the power chord

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.....

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.

[@jasonstallworth]

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!)

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 😩).

[@jasonstallworth]

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/

[@DRTyD]

@@jasonstallworth Cool. Just signed up for the free guide. Thanks!

[@alanmay6401]

Dude, love your advice. BTW, that skull i keep seeing reflected off your guitar looks pretty badass.

[@jasonstallworth]

Ah yeah, I didn't notice that reflection until you pointed it out!

[@QwikVidz]

Thanks

[@knoflookmetui]

I want to start learning metal guitar and you seem like a cool dude plus your riffs sound like fun! Cheers

[@jasonstallworth]

I'm glad you like the riffs!! I have a couple of things for you to check out that will help you: 1) Make sure you download my free practice guide (with tabs): kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHTSmn14aLWje5I 2) If you're ready for this, I have a complete metal rhythm guitar course with tabs and backing tracks that I just released here: metalmastermind.com/metal-riff-master/

You‘re awesome. Jason lives shredd madness on two ways. In the Gym and on the fretboard 😂

[@JadeDude1973]

Although I'm not a beginner, I kind of stopped playing music altogether about 15 years ago and just started up again, so my FINGERS think I'm a beginner LOL. Thanks for these vids.

[@jasonstallworth]

Dude, it's so cool to hear that you started back up! All that stuff will come back fast, as I'm sure you've experienced! Also, you may be interested in my Metal Riff Master course to learn some new riffs with tabs and backing tracks (it's designed to open you up to new ideas for writing your own riffs): metalmastermind.com/metal-riff-master/

Awesome!!

[@starla1574]

Just discovered your videos recently. I love them! You're a really good teacher . Thanks man!

[@jasonstallworth]

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/

[@Somuntioalt]

This lesson is helping me not only with palm mutting and alternate picking, but also with the act of picking itself which is something I wasn't doing in the best way. Really good practice and super well explained! Plus, it sounds pretty awesome! hahaha Thanks a bunch!

[@jasonstallworth]

Awesome to hear that and thanks for the comment. Oh, and if you don't have my free practice guide, you can grab that here: www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
