This 80s metal riff is in the key of A minor you'll be playing a lot of the higher D and G strings. This is going to bring out some different vibes in your guitar playing and the overall feel of the riff.
Oh, and we have my guest Gunnar playing the initial riff. And hang around for some 'guitar talk' at the end of the video!

Love the riff. Reminds me of Dokken Dream Warriors. 🤘🏼

[@jasonstallworth]

Awesome song and awesome movie (Nightmare of Elm Street III)

[@scottmatthews9924]

Sounds like intro to Somebody Save Me from Cinderella

[@jasonstallworth]

That hit me as soon as I finished the video!

[@MagnusBerglind]

I've been watching some videos from you on creating 80's riffs and I think it's really gonna help with my songwriting. Good content, thanks!

[@jasonstallworth]

Dude, you're welcome!! Oh, and for songwriting, we (Metal Mastermind) recently released an intense metal songwriting course here: metalmastermind.com/metal-songwriters-forge/

[@jargomcmuffin1234]

Thanks so much for this. i primarily play in A minor on a 7 string to drop A. this helps a lot.

[@jasonstallworth]

🤘

[@joshualawn8721]

80s metal is probably my main focus in metal. Everything from Crue, to Metal Church, Slayer etc. I like this riff.

[@jasonstallworth]

Love all of that stuff dude!

[@Uncle_Sam21]

Hands down most underrated guitar channel on KZbin keep it up man

[@jasonstallworth]

[@1000BrokenKeys]

really cool riff , thanks !

[@jasonstallworth]

You're welcome!

[@hwy2hell161]

Awesome riff, sounds sounds like something from the band Accept 🤘

[@jasonstallworth]

Old school metal!

[@2charliegotguns2]

Cool Riff Jason! Btw this maybe too late but maybe see if you can get them to put on some reinforced strings, d'addario and ernieball do some, Theyre designed for floating tremolos and you'll have less string snaps in the future if you use them.

[@jasonstallworth]

Thanks dude...I'm a long-time user of Elixirs and that might be the 2nd time an Elixir has ever broken on me, which is crazy. I do think this guitar got banged around a little during shipping so it should be alright once I have I have it setup. I've tried other strings (most all of them) and always reverted back to Elixirs.

[@Francob78]

i like how the pick ups sound on the sauerkraut shredder, sounds really 80's however i cant stand the angle of the fretboard compared to the angle of the neck pick up

[@jasonstallworth]

Dude I’m not a big fan of angled pickups either. I mainly use the bridge pickup on the Shroedder. The neck pickup does sound good for clean tones though.

[@pedropeu5194]

Cool! Why DON'T you bring more bass metal riffs?

[@jasonstallworth]

I’ll be putting some more of that out there soon! I actually have a playlist for bass under my playlists section on the home page of my channel!
