Acoustic Finger Picking Lesson in E Minor

I've got something different and unique for you today but I really think that you'll enjoy this lesson!
You and I are going to do some finger-picking on acoustic in this video.
I'm going to share my finger-picking technique with you (and a little secret that you can use at the end!).
And you'll learn two really cool progressions to play on your acoustic.
Keep it Metal,
Jason

Variety is the spice of life! You’re a talented dude, I always get a take away from your video’s. I need acoustic practice too........👍🏻

[@jasonstallworth]

Than you, more acoustic is coming!

[@allboutthemojo]

Nice you even managed get the " counting crows " as your backup band 😄

[@jasonstallworth]

lol…yeah they were definitely backing me up today!

[@sean4586]

Great video. I know this wasn't your plan but the different C chord shape was so cool. It is so similar sounding but super simple to go from C,D,G or any combo. Thanks

[@jasonstallworth]

It does make the transition between those chords smoother!

[@doublepanthers3088]

Runs to the other room where the guitars live to try this out. Thank you, Jason. I would welcome any and all acoustic videos you should feel inspired to share with us. Enjoy your day.

[@jasonstallworth]

lol…yeah dude it’s like we need a guitar hanging in every room!

[@stormrider8286]

Well I finally got the course looking forward to tonight working on improving my chops

[@jasonstallworth]

Awesome to hear that and thank you for the support!

[@gaspode2005]

Nice one. Yes, I would be interested in more acoustic stuff Jason, it all helps to widen the knowledge base

[@jasonstallworth]

Cool man, definitely more coming!!

[@NoCoverCharge]

Your always welcome to come down to Bradenton and have acoustic jam ... it would be a good one

[@jasonstallworth]

Yeah dude, it'd be cool to get down there...haven't been out there in a while!

[@klew5988]

More acoustic lessons!! Thanks man

[@jasonstallworth]

Thank you, I’d like to put one out about once a month!

[@57truckz]

Thanks for this awesome lesson, it sounds beautiful and I will surely be trying to learn this one.

[@jasonstallworth]

Yeah dude definitely give this a try!!

[@stephanm.7402]

Great outdoor atmosphere - relaxing fingerpicking

[@jasonstallworth]

This is our little paradise! Now I'm about to grill some food and have a couple of IPAs! Hope you're having a great weekend!

[@stephanm.7402]

@@jasonstallworth great, thank you, have fun

[@paunique4045]

really chill video dude,i would love to see more videos like this ,very cool patern and the best thing is that u can apply it to every chord. Ty for the vid,u are awsome!

[@jasonstallworth]

I’ll definitely look at doing all acoustic style video once a month!

[@markw4105]

Love the poolside setting on this, and like another comment said, will take any and all acoustic lessons you want to give us. Hmmm, I'm getting a course idea here lol. Thanks for all you show us, and that you really slow it down see we can see what you are doing is awesome 😎 take care Jason!!

[@jasonstallworth]

Oh I’ve definitely thought of an acoustic course! That probably won’t be until 2022 but it’s definitely part of the plan!

[@markw4105]

@@jasonstallworth Sweet!! I was hoping so! 😎

[@scsreaper]

1st. So Florida.(as am I) 2nd, gorgeous sound on that one. 3rd, I absolutely love Cadd9. Play it frequently. 4th, I tend to finger style thumb, first and second. This was awesome!

[@jasonstallworth]

Yeah dude we’re in the Tampa area. I’ve always loved that C chord!

[@Black-Sheep-Society-xx]

Very talented. Great mix up! Thanks for this!

[@jasonstallworth]

[@jeremiahalexander5513]

Love the acoustic videos.

[@jasonstallworth]

🙏

[@patowen530]

Thank you, now I'll get the acoustic guitar out more often. Before the video started I waited then skipped the commercial, when I saw the pool I thought there was another commercial ha ha.

[@jasonstallworth]

Lol...funny thing is we just had it redone last year...man, that was expensive!

[@iduncanw]

Guitar followed by BBQ and beers sounds like a perfect Sunday afternoon 🎸🍖🍻 Acoustic can certainly be relaxing. I've tried playing the intro to Metallica "Nothing Else Matters" but it just wasn't sounding right. I had no knowledge of fingerstyle and this guitar instructor introduced me to using the thumb with fingers 2, 3 and 4. Works really well for this song. Although I'm still trying to improve some parts, it definitely sounds better than before, particularly when you play the chords. Do you sometimes play with other finger combinations?

[@jasonstallworth]

I do…I also sometimes play with the classical style where your thumb is for the first 3 strings and 3 fingers for the other 3. I can’t say that I’m a classical guitarist by any means but that style is cool to use at times.

[@wo0dy62]

Guitar playing of all types keeps it interesting and great practice. Sooo many ways to play and so little time. Love it keep it coming Jason!! Rock on !!

[@jasonstallworth]

Yeah dude, we love it all! It's good to change things up sometimes.

[@christineslinger7820]

Yes, more acoustic guitar video's please. Maybe something like strumming patterns?

[@jasonstallworth]

Thank you for the support, as always!! Call 'em out!

[@zabby7382]

Can you please do a video, where you explain how to make a mystic Black Metal intro, or how to sound mysterious in general??

[@jasonstallworth]

Dude it's funny you mention that. My song 'Final Reign' on my last album Masterpeace has one of those types of intros. I may do a video on that soon. Here's the song: music.kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4bUnpZ3eKuHn8k&feature=share

[@zabby7382]

@@jasonstallworth Thx dude, I will quick study that and make a Video mysleft to take away your viewers Kappa. No, I am as far not as good as you, meanwhile I wait for the Video and watch other videos from you. Stay Metal

Nice

The pleasures that us Floridians have, dude!!

[@TheWieleslaw]

Awesome video, just as the fact that you're a one-man-army. I totally dig that attitude and I think I'm going to learn mixing and adding all the instruments by myself. When you know what you want to create and there are so many lazy/careless/indecisive musicians working with you it's a tiring fu*king thing. Cheers to you for sharing all your knowledge with us 🤘

[@jasonstallworth]

Thank you for the kind words! Yeah, definitely dive into mixing! I actually co-own the Metal Mastermind channel where we go deep into music production and mixing. Here's the latest mixing guitars video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH2sdGduj6llbMk

@@jasonstallworth Thank you 👍

[@mattsmith2192]

Really cool idea for intro like anastasia from slash. Also pinch harmonics vid helped cheer bro 🤘

[@jasonstallworth]

Glad you saw that one dude!!

[@Gamer_z.o.m.b.i.e]

So beautiful ❤️

[@jasonstallworth]

Thank you…I’ll be doing another acoustic video soon!

[@toxicmartoc]

I use a slightly different method, thumb for E'A'D and index,middle and ring fingers for G'B'E respectively. Either way it sounds great

[@jasonstallworth]

That's a great tactic. You definitely want to use what feel most natural and comfortable for you!

[@Francob78]

I love fingerstyle, it sounds great but can be challenging especially the more advanced tunes… i started with the chord progression from a song called landslide by fleetwood mac. This sounds superchill on a sunny day……By all means dont limit yourself to just 1 style

[@jasonstallworth]

Dude I love some Fleetwood Mac! My wife and I do Go Your Own Way for my acoustic gigs!

[@Francob78]

@@jasonstallworth love it, do you know landslide? its a real joy musically....fleetwood mac is growing up material

[@whiskeymike8010]

Very nice guitar!!! Only acoustic or electric as well? What are you recording audio and video with? Great Lesson!!

[@jasonstallworth]

This has a pickup and EQ and all that (I use it to play my acoustic cover gigs with!). I'm using my iPhone 11 for video but with the Rode VideoMic NTG. That helps block some of the surrounding noise

Do you have any Travis Picking Lessons. Songs by John Prime?

[@jasonstallworth]

I’ve never heard of him. My channel is mostly geared towards metal but also like to add some acoustic now and then (I also play live acoustic solo shows)
