Nothing better than learning your riffs and then playing it 1000 times in different patterns. It's crazy how one idea can cause so many more awesome riffs.

[@jasonstallworth]

Awesome man, that’s exactly what I want to happen! 🤘

[@Tmogangsta714]

Slayer is my favorite band seen them every year that they toured in my area since 1989. So of course I love this lesson

[@jasonstallworth]

They have some really cool riffs!

[@SicSemperTyrannis74]

You ever get in the pit? I jumped in several times at different shows when the aggression just pulled me in...definitely got my ass kicked n I'm a big dude lol

[@VortexArcade]

Standard Tuning! I was looking at beginning of video thinking you're downtuned with a floating trem, a bigger pain in the butt than learning the riff! This is great, thanks!

[@jasonstallworth]

Yeah, you'll rarely see me downtuning (I have a couple videos where I experimented a little) but I typically stay in standard tuning, even with my 7 string guitar

[@mikerauter1859]

Bro!!! I've bugged you (politely!) for years to paly a Slayer riff or two during a livestream!! This has MADE MY DAY! SLAYER rules forever and has the most recognizable 'evil' thrash riffing style of all!

[@jasonstallworth]

I was hoping this would do the trick for you dude! Man, a lot of their songs have these elements and this gives them that distinct sound!

[@mikerauter1859]

@@jasonstallworth absolutely a killer lesson on their style and note selection - you are the man. Thankyou so much Jason

[@andyhamilton7639]

Great little riff lesson learned it in five minutes and then morphed it into my own ,also loving the metal riff master course has definitely made learning metal guitar much easier than any other teacher I have studied under

[@jasonstallworth]

Thank you for getting my course! 🙏 🤘

[@craiglatour-pn4jy]

I'm going to practice this later! Killer riff..

Since I started watching your videos which I don't remember when I started but it's been awhile however though with all of your videos you shared. I have wrote 2 or 3 songs with little techniques you have shown and your riffs you have shared I changed the key to some then I changed up the rhythm and next thing I know it's something completely different and made a song out of it. The biggest fact that seems to be a common theme in a lot of your videos that I agree with 110 percent is make it your own style and build off of it. Your videos have made me expand in ways I never thought I would or help me to get to certain goals faster. Music is something that is weird in its own way too. 3 people can play the same 3 chords for example d,c,g the most common ones and everyone has a different rhythm they make for it. I'm getting a bit side tracked a bit but keep up the videos. I always enjoy the guitar chat

[@jasonstallworth]

Thank you and really glad to know my videos are helping! 🤘

[@Hicks-g1m]

That sounds awesome Jason Slayer Rocks I'll try this out. Thanks 👍🤘

[@jasonstallworth]

They have some really cool and catchy riffs and are some of my favorites!

[@AtomsLab]

You're such a good teacher, how didn't I find you sooner?! Thanks for all you do ☺️

[@damonmosshart5678]

Rock on man... Helped me come up with some sinister riffs. You've showed me a lot. Long Live Heavy Metal!!!

[@georgemobley4841]

Great lesson Jason. So much can be done with this. Thanks man.

[@jasonstallworth]

🙏🤘

[@SicSemperTyrannis74]

That ABSOLUTELY sounded just like a Slayer riff. Jeff and Kerry made so many bone crushing progressions (some very unorthodox) that definitely leave a musical fingerprint. Awesome job man 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼

[@jasonstallworth]

They really did make some killer riffs!

[@SicSemperTyrannis74]

@@jasonstallworth Yessir they did and you have that sound down bro lol. Sounded great! Thanks for the video

[@flexwilley]

All your videos, riffs, your way of explaining everything is pure gold! I’ve learned so much from you. Just wanted to say thank you and keep the videos coming. 🤘

[@jasonstallworth]

🙏🏻🤘

[@TheUlesifah701]

Dig your channel Jason! I’m a old metal fan but I don’t play much of it on guitar until recently, your channel has helped me gain some insight and the way you explain and approach things is cool and down to earth like I’m listening to a buddy. Thanks bro ! 😎🤘🏼

[@jasonstallworth]

Thank you brother and glad to have you here

[@jambam5906]

You have seriously helped me so much getting back into guitar, I love the way you explain everything, it’s perfect for me

[@jasonstallworth]

So great to hear this dude! 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/

[@nigelbelton4748]

Simple to follow, well explained riffs such as this, even I can master on my cheap beginner guitar. And once mastered, it motivates me to experiment and create additional notes and sounds. Love this uncomplicated type of lesson. Thank you Jason.

[@jasonstallworth]

Yeah you can add so much to this riff and take off with it! 🤘

[@jaisor]

I was looking for some kickass chromatic practice riffs and you deliver! Feels awesome once I got it down. Might do a little riff spin off with that theme and the backing track. Thanks Jason!

[@jasonstallworth]

Awesome man, yeah you can really expand on this riff!

[@crazy.scorpio]

NICE!!! SLAYER!!!!! 🤘 Great information!

[@jasonstallworth]

[@krisfishllc]

Simple and awesome! Love it! Popped up on auto play, I turned it up, thought Slayer was on!

Awesome to hear that! 🙏🏻🤘

[@Spacedraptor]

I'm a 50 something ex death metal bass player started working on my guitar because I want to record & do justice to songs I wrote in the 90's. Discovered your channel by accident & your doing amazing work passing this stuff on & your a stellar guy. I've subbed to your channel 👍

[@jasonstallworth]

Thank you, I appreciate that and you being here. It would be awesome to get your music out there and let me know when you do!

[@kerryfromaj9032]

I’ve been tricked! This tidbit of a lesson had me making my own riffs immediately. Interesting how music can manifest in the mind, getting it out through the guitar is another story. Thanks for teaching us how to be more creative.

[@jasonstallworth]

Yeah, to me, Slayer is the master of writing killer riffs!

Sounds very cool. Fun to learn and like always explained very detailed. Thanks Jason. 👍🤟

[@jasonstallworth]

🙏🤘

[@KaaiHawaiianDeathMetal]

I think I’ve written that riff, or a very similar riff 9,652 times. I tend to shop at the Slayer riff shop unintentionally quite often. Good lesson.

[@jasonstallworth]

Yeah this style of riffing is catchy!

[@KaaiHawaiianDeathMetal]

@@jasonstallworth Slow Slayer style riffs are some of the most fun to play. This lesson just provided me with entertainment. Thanks again though for all your other free lessons and tips that you’ve thrown out. That have helped refresh my playing. Your videos have helped get me out of some way to worn out paths that I, like many guitarists follow. My rhythm playing has expanded in the couple years I’ve watched your videos

[@lucienaeon]

Really fun riff to practice! And as crazy as it sound, it makes me realize I’ve never listen a Slayer song, I must correct it today for my metal culture ^^. Thanks a lot Jason! :)

[@jasonstallworth]

You know, I didn't listen to them in my early years when I started (this was late 80s/early 90s) but I got into them just several years ago and really appreciate their work

[@gimmenames9039]

Killer lesson! Thx! Are you using an ampsim for your videos or a combo setup?

[@jasonstallworth]

Most of the time I'm using Positive Grid's BIAS FX. I have something else coming in soon that I'll be sharing though!

Nice riff Jason. What kind of pickups are on that guitar?

[@jasonstallworth]

I kept the stocks on and here's a video on that (I had switched them out at one time): kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoOlhmp_f7yHp68

[@beanieloko]

Been digging your videos man. been trying to learn guitars for years. I injured my wrist playing football when I was a kid. I'm close to your age I think. Any hand exercises recommendations for people like my self. If you could do a video for that, it would be killer.

[@jasonstallworth]

Thank you and glad this helped. I do have a video where I met Nita Strauss at a clinic in Tampa and share the exercises she presented and these really help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4SYXqWeZcqNl8U

[@ME-hr8dl]

Hi Jason - I’m soon to receive a 1980’s Charvel model 2 - can you recommend a good humbucker replacement with your kind of tone? Cheers

[@jasonstallworth]

I wouldn’t replace the pickup if it were me. Use more gain on your amp and you’ll get a similar effect

[@ME-hr8dl]

@@jasonstallworth good point thanks Jason.

[@astroedsastrophotographych4562]

Never liked slayer purely because of lyrics, they’re the opposite of positivity.

[@jasonstallworth]

I never took them seriously as far as lyrics go. I think a lot of bands wanted that shock effect

@@jasonstallworth Thanks for the honest reply. I appreciate your perspective. Your awesome btw!
