Thank you sir. You rule!!!

[@barrettwissell9708]

This channel kicks ass! That intro lick earned a sub and share. Keep at it, this channel definitely has the potential to become a solid candidate for mid tier ( 250-600k subs, it's honestly insanely hard to push pass that without loads of backing cash from ads and algorithms funds 😅). Regardless, your channel has helped us. Thanks, brother. Brutal.

Hey bro! Beginer guitarist here. Loving these heavy riffs. Thought at first I'd like tabs with it But this way forces me to listen close and write it out myself. Learning much more this way like you said. Training my ears like never before. Thank you. ROCK ON!🖤🤘

Dad Metal 😂 I’ll never understand these terms…and a Les Paul is a “Lawyer Guitar”. They just don’t want us to enjoy great things. Good lesson.

I am looking for a good Progressive Metal guitar lesson. Aaron Marshall does some lessons but I haven't seen actual writing lessons. I probably need to buy some tab or sheet music of a song to really break it down to understand the writing.

[@jasonstallworth]

The techniques are all the same. Downstrokes, palm muting, alternate picking, etc. It's more so the type of progressions. I'd point you towards Dream Theater for that.

[@timrobinson9192]

My palm muting never works well (I can’t hear the punch of the E string). Can playing to fast have that effect?

where do you find these power chords as a chart for ref

[@jasonstallworth]

I actually include a chart in my course here (as well as tabs and complete back tracks): www.jasonstallworth.com/courses/

[@rev.jimjonesandthekool-aid4488]

Standard tunning?

[@jasonstallworth]

I'm always in standard

[@shash-onemanband6140]

For an instrumental guitarist like me, verse part does not always come into picture. Yes, my Lead guitar could play something similar as lyric written on screen. That's the only catch for me, otherwise I am going to play it with less distortion and low tempo to be more melodic as well. Cheers!

[@jasonstallworth]

That's a great method to get those melodies

[@shash-onemanband6140]

@@jasonstallworth In addition, the melody rhymes with the lyric.

man that first lick I struggled and found it easier the hammer onto the D string then do another strum

I keep forgetting to play the open strings man this is going to take a while. But I almost got pinch harmonics going! :) not pulled a decent one yet but got some squealing happening

[@marshalfrancis3353]

confusing explanation sometimes, but i got the hang of it. maybe include tabs on screen or go slower at some points. you start a sentence to explain what's played and mid-sentence you go with another tip instead of giving the correct order of the notes..

[@jasonstallworth]

Thanks for the feedback. More important that learning these riffs note for note are the concepts. And applying those concepts to write your own riffs. And also learning to use your ears more and not rely on tabs and details. But try to listen and then play the riff how you interpret it. Hopefully that makes sense

[@marshalfrancis3353]

@@jasonstallworth yep it does. That's what I had to do anyhow, because sometimes I got confused. I'm trying to learn the methods and concepts behind it but therefore I need to know how to play it correctly so I can make sense of it. Thanks for the reply

[@ladc8960]

🎯 🐂

[@ladc8960]

🔥Your favorite, 10 heavy progressions?

[@jasonstallworth]

@@ladc8960 Most of the 10 would probably be a mix of Metallica's earlier songs, several songs on Judas Priest's Painkiller album, and much of Nightwish progressions because they're so melodic!

[@NitroModelsAndComics]

Forefathers Metallica? I think not

[@jasonstallworth]

Whether you like them or not, they had a substantial impact of thrash metal music

[@jesse75]

Pounding on the e string is not classic heavy metal.

[@jasonstallworth]

Right. It's not. That's why there are other riffs within the lesson and throughout my channel

[@jesse75]

@@jasonstallworth meaning no disrespect. I couldn't stomach watching the rest of the video. Consider me a heavy metal conasior. I go way back. I was 10 when I first heard Iron Butterfly. Watched closely the growth of heavy metal.

@@jasonstallworth if you are curious about my guitar playing I only put one thing up on utube. " Ronnie James Dio Tribute Funeral March". If you search that on utube you can see me playing. I also am a sound mixer, sound reinforcement designer. And I paint custom guitars. I imagined Dio being carried in a casket and lowered in the grave and saying goodbye.
