Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Sometimes you need to break away from the typical metal tones and play some clean guitar tones.
In this video, I'm showing you some ways you can play dark, clean metal riffs in the key of E minor!
Learning these clean riffs will help you expand more as a guitar player!
Oh, and I also do some 'Tone Talk' at the end, so hang around for this!

Id like to hear a lesson on combining riffs ideas and molding rythems together for building songs.
Definitely a great idea for a future (soon) video!
I concur!
Take it easy dear Jason, your videos are awesome from the begining till the last second, cheers from Buenos Aires
🙏🤘
When you said you weren't going to play the Metallica song it gave me Napster flashbacks LOL
Lol!!! Yeah I'm not getting in trouble today!
What Ibanez RG model are you doing the demo with, Jason?! I'd like to find one on the used market!! By the way, great videos!!
This is an older RG1570. Here’s where I changed pickups but quickly put the stock ones back in: ua-cam.com/video/DRBU7IJWTqM/v-deo.htmlsi=tnS5P6KXv7436eIU
Jason by all means, Share away! I appreciate all your knowledge you share..... I would appreciate some more BASS stuff too..... KEEP IT METAL!
Dude, yes I do need to put more bass stuff out there. I DO have a complete guide for recording metal bass on the Metal Mastermind channel that I co-own, so definitely check that out: ua-cam.com/video/ZaBEh4XFGAM/v-deo.html
Enjoying your lessons! And tone/gear talk is definitely appreciated, as we dial in our sound its helps to know that stuff. Thank you!
Glad to hear that and thanks for watching to that point of the video!
What other pedals are you using, distortion, overdrive etc
@@Neomuth I have a MXR noise gate and classic distortion pedal
Thanks for this.it’s appreciated.wish you could get a tighter shot on finger placement for the visual learners...like myself.lol. Take care
Yeah dude it's tough to get that. I guess I need to get a small camera to clip on the neck for that.
I"M on module one it's pretty Good playing with h drums now and learning new rifs I havenet got them all yet and i'm still on module 1. I will keep rocking!
Thank you for getting my course and glad you're enjoying it!
Awesome clean tone riff. It reminds me of Wasting Love by Iron Maiden, or Is This Love by Whitesnake.
🤘
Wow, thats amazing sounds :-) Its very great.
Thank you very much :-)
🤘
Just starting metal. You are a great teacher. Thank you so much.
Thank you🤘
Oh, and if you don't have my free practice guide, you can grab that here: www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
Cool as Jason don't fancy joining a British heavy metal band with me do yuh. Lol
I do love some British metal!
jason nice vid very well explained and easy to follow like most because of covid i have had some time well went out and got my george lynch kamikazee andstarted playing again 35year break so your vids and ones like it are a big help on my new journey in music thanks and god bless
Dude, that's once nice guitar you have! Really glad these vids help and glad to hear you're back in the game!
I'm always playing around with corrds/Riffs like that! 👍
🤘
Thanks dude ! Channel suscribed and got the 10 licks guide 🤘🤘🤘
Thank you for the sub and hope you like the guide
The REAL question here is: what the HELL kinda bridge is that, bro?
That’s the Ibanez Edge Pro tremolo
Like the raw video better 👍👊
@@chadjones4236 🤘
Learned some things. Like your presentation style. Thanks!
Awesome to hear that!
It's melancholic dark, but not evil dark
Definitely melancholic!
Great lesson Jason! the only thing that kind of confused me was referencing string numbers. I thought the high E string was the first string and the low E string would be the 6th string. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I confuse myself, sometimes dude! I call the low E the larger one because it's the low note.
I surely got totally confused with that and couldn't follow up even though it sounded so good.
I have been playing that exact same riff for years.
🤘
😎👍💯🎸 Totally Awesome!!!
🙏 🤘
Dude, thank you. I’m 46 and just learning. Most of the beginner stuff out there is cornball. I don’t want to learn how to play Simple Minds dammit, I want to play some cool shit. And you definitely help me do that. You are great at helping explain things and showing how to play what’s in my head.
Dude it’s so great to hear that because that’s my goal…to breakdown the style of riffs and licks that are usable in a way that it’s easier to to understand and follow!
Also, I think too probably have this already but if not, grab my free practice guide that I give to my subs here (great daily patterns you can go through): www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
My guitar teacher when I was 14 started me in E minor.
It’s a great place to start when you’re into rock and metal!
That Metallica song reminded me of fade to black
You can do so much with those notes (Sanitarium and One are also based on those notes)
Hey Meathead! I bought your book. I don't read. But I'll support your algorithm in life! Lol!!! 🤘🤪
Lol...thank you, brother!! It's an easy read, btw!
@@jasonstallworth 🤘😂 I am looking forward to it! Hope your day is awesome.
Thanks 😊
Great lesson. As a beginner, matches perfect with my skill and made the guitar actually sing. Any chance to have some kind of tab for this. Cheers from Ireland!
Thank you. I don't think I ever made tabs but I do offer tabs and backing tracks in my course: metalmastermind.com/metal-riff-master/
@@jasonstallworth I was asking because at 6:32 I think instead of 2-4-0 is actually 3-4-0. If Im wrong, please escuse me, I'm still a noob :). Planning to purchase your beginner course in comming weeks for sure. 🤘😈🤘
This is pretty similar to a song I'm currently working on, except I'm using a capo on mine.
🤘
Love it, arch enemy t shirt brother 🤘
Yeah dude, this band is awesome! I had the honor of seeing them live in Orlando in 2017
Except a few small parts here and there, I don't know how to play any covers from anyone. I learn by playing my own way which is why I love how you teach, I don't have to be your clone. I do study tabs and watch how something is played for inspiration and another thing I do is "mental practice" I do this in martial arts and for me it translates well to guitar. I grew up on the Rocky series and Mickey had that saying "You see yourself doing right and you do right" . I am working on redoing two songs from Rocky BTW, Elton John's Measure of a man and Frank Stallone's Take you back. Anyways great video bro. SKAL 🤘🤘
Dude, I'm a HUGE Rocky fan in every way possible! I think you'll also love the video I'm about to release on how to play by ear, without tabs!! (uploading it now!)
@@jasonstallworth You'll love this, my sons name is Apollo and yes he is named after Apollo Creed 😁 We're watching 3 right now. Nice. I'm on the lookout for it.
You are having Delay on...correct?
Yeah, I like a little chorus and delay for the cleans (and reverb, but did not have reverb here)
Tim from Pittsburgh here,,,Jason,, great video,,,thanks 🙏
Dude, one of my closest friends is from there! 🙏🏻🤘
I used to sing for metal band seance,,,,from Tarentum pa just outside of Pittsburgh,,, Jason stallworth Pittsburgh chapter,,,like the sound of that?
For those interested, even Jason, there’s a video that features
“Dark Chords” by Fretjam. It’s pretty cool!!
I'll also be covering some other keys on this soon.
kinda random but whats the guitar at 0:15 ?
That's an Ibanez Prestige RG1570 but if you're asking about the one in the corner, that's the LTD D-5 bass.
I like tone talks. Keep it clean lol.
I was hoping you guys would like that...I'll keep bringing it!
Great lesson thank you 🙏 😊
🙏 🤘
Learning this tonight thanks bud
Awesome to hear that 🤘
Love the I’m not going to play covers comment!! Lol 😂 I agree 100%
Yeah dude, it's always best to come up with your own riffs!
We on the same page ! I’ve had so many “conversations “ with fellow players about covers over the years . Ya it’s all fine and dandy shows you got sum talent but to create is the real power!!
Exactly. I find it difficult to learn covers for some reason,but wen I slip in my own notes hear and there,it starts clicking in my head. I love love love making my own music.
I love arpeggiating the chords from the main rhythm or chorus. You can use them as an intro, during an interlude, or an outro. Very versatile! A little distorted harmonized lead with it and you have metal magic!🤘
Yeah they do sound cool with a touch of gain!
any tips on how to get fat fingers to not touch the string next to whatever one i'm pushing on? haha thanks
I think having a wider fretboard with more space between frets helps. Ibanez wizard necks are great!
@@jasonstallworth thank you brother
Mega fan Jason. Your videos are really inspiring and you seem like a very down-to-earth guy. Keep up the awesome work!! 🎸🤘🏼🎶
Thank you for the kind words, brother!
Greetings! Great Video!!! Keep rocking!!!!!
🤘
Great Video, Thanks
You're welcome and glad this helped!
Great video thanks j ✌️
🤘
Where have you been? Perfect!
Thanks dude. I've actually been on YT since 2010!! Seems like yesterday! lol
Only down picks Jason?
Yes! Sorry, I didn't mention that. You could alternate pick these, I guess. But I think it may flow better with downstrokes.
Flags you for def leppard lol
Lol...and man, I could've kept playing that song because I absolutely love it!
Awesome good stuff!
🙏🤘
That first clean riff definitely got a queensriech sound to it
Love the older Queensryche
@@jasonstallworth yes Sir. Chris DeGarmo is awesome!
im buyin that effin mug
It's right here on my shop! jasonstallworthshop.com/collections/drinkware/products/keep-it-metal-dragon-mug
My favorite kind of playing 😎
Yeah, the cleans can arguably be more difficult to play. Distortion covers up a lot!
Great Lesson... You are Giving Me Good Ideas!
Really cool to hear that, and that's my main goal - to help give everyone more ideas to work with! You can do so much with these riffs.
You are an amazing teacher
Thank you!
Thank you for another killer video Jason!!! You really inspire me and make me want to grab my guitar and become a better player! I just bought my first ESP LTD DELUXE M1000 (purple natural burst) I love it!! And I enjoy the tone talk at end of video! You are the man!!!🍻🍻🍻🤘😁🤘🍻🍻🍻
Is it from the korea factory? Those are compareble to a custom usa
You're gonna love that guitar! And thanks for watching to that point in the video!
Yes made in Korea. Ordered it from zZounds last Sunday and got delivered Monday and never took out of box til Wednesday and I absolutely love it!! Feels sounds and plays awesome!! How are the ones that are made in Japan? Also was just wondering what picks do you recommend?
You are welcome! Dont have to thank me though I enjoy watching to the end🤘👽🤘THANK YOU!!
@@steveh3755 Honestly, there's not a substantial difference in quality between the Korean and Japanese guitars. Both are excellent. But if I had to do it over again, I would've probably just gotten an LTD 7 string (Korean) instead of the ESP E-II Horizon that I have. Would've saved about a grand.
@@jasonstallworth hey thats cool! Thanks man!!
Awesome stuff Jason. I stopped playing in 89 when I decided it was time to go fly. After flying jets and 10 year break from the guitar, I picked it back up. Been jamming since!
Been enjoying your lessons as it brings back the cleaners of 80s metal!
That’s awesome to hear dude!! Of corse, flying was probably like a dream come true! I remember being fascinated by F14 Tomcats (thanks to Top Gun) and I had the GI Joe Tomcat and several model planes.
Oh, if you don’t have my free practice guide, pick that up here: www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
very nice ,i like it !
🙏 🤘
Yes love tone talks
🤘
That C key you’re using sounds like Here by Castlebeat. Lol. It’s cool though
Thank you (I don't think I've ever heard Castlebeat)
@@jasonstallworth yeah? It’s not metal but more slow cruiser type of music. Good if you’re in love. or lonely lol?
@@undertow6966 lol...yeah sometimes mood music works for both!! And I do greatly appreciate a lot of non-metal music as well!
Love the tone talks! Glad to hear that you have to keep things simple! That's how my head works as well.
Yeah dude, I try not to make things more complex than they need to be!
Top notch sir 👌
🙏 🤘
Awesome lesson
🙏🏻🤘
I’m no beginner, but I still found this lesson inspiring ☝🏻🙂🤘🏼
Great to hear! Yeah, the notes are fairly simple and all, and man, we can always learn so much by going back to the basics at times. I have to revisit them often!
Show us show us
🤘
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
🤘🤘
Very clean
🤘
like it
🤘
Thanks!!!!!!
🤘
No tiene audio
It works just fine
Great Video, I tried playing around with these and played accidentally some of my favourite metal riffs :D
Nice, yeah these types of riffs run into a lotta great songs!
A lot of songs seem to happen by "accident"... Look at the intro/solo for sweet child of mine by Guns and Roses... Wasn't even supposed to be part of the song... It was just a finger exsersise... But it sounded cool and was made part of the song...
@@therayven3147 that was once nice accident from GnR!
@@jasonstallworth I know, right...
Love that song... I'm a big G n' R fan...
Your sound is incredible. I just can't get over that. I like simple too. Im just now trying to figure out how all the pedals work together, man so many. I have to confess,I'm more of a Megadeth guy than a Mettallica guy,but I love all metal. My kids laff cuz I'm so into my metal,sometimes they call me kid hehe, yea I'm a58 year old kid hehehe. But I just came across your channel and love it. You're a great teacher, and player. So,I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work putting these videos together, I know it'it's not easy. Thanks bro,you ROCK!🤘🎸🎶🎵🎼🎧
Thank you for the kind words, brother...and yeah, we're just big kids these days! lol
Jason! You Sir! were made born for Metal!
Another Killer lesson!
Thank you first off.
This lesson reminds of Jake E Lee's "Killer of Giants"
Thank you dude...yeah, that's an awesome tune!
Awesome
🤘
Had something from Fade to Sanatorium. And One other song ;), just in E Minor instead of B Minor. Also sounds like the intro of "Valley of Misery", a song that was circulating the web before St. Anger and was wrongly attributed to Metallica.
Yeah they made that chord famous!
I dare you guys to skip in the video by clicking here,there,,and you won't catch him playing.
When does he plays?
no patience for the chats.
Per the comments, this video has helped many. If it didn't help you or you didn't like it, you're free to move along.
i want to get a bass guitar but where should i get one
It really depends on your budget as to what kind (if you're on a tight budget, I always suggest getting a good quality used bass because you'll get more bang for your buck). As far as where, look up Replay Guitar Exchange in Tampa (they do online orders), call them, and tell them Jason sent you! They will hook you up with something perfect!
@@jasonstallworth thanks man
If you have a Guitar Center near you, I'd try there too...
@@therayven3147 thanks man
@@mattstarkbodybuilding9495 yeah, no problem...
By the way, love that Ibanez. I have one similar, and it's always my go to number one for serious learning. I know there are other excellent brands out there, but my Ibanez just feels more comfortable for some reason.😉
Yeah the Wizard necks are perfect!
I bought a Squire Jazzmaster this spring and decided I was going to learn guitar. Since then I've watched a ton of UA-cam videos. There's about 5 UA-camrs I can count on to break it down, show an example, play it slow, and redo it over and over. You got a good channel.
Dude, that's great to hear and thank you for supporting my channel!
Also, be sure to get my free practice guide that I give to all my subs here: www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
After hundreds of videos I have FINALLY found my guy! Please don't stop making videos buddy. Besides, I feel like Goldberg is teaching me guitar and that just tickles me to death! LoL! All jokes aside, I find your style of teaching to be exactly what I need. Thanks man. I'm a seasoned player, well, I can fake it well enough but I have just came back to the guitar after spending the last 6 years learning engineering and mixing. I forgot just how much I enjoyed the guitar and being an old man I forgot more than I care to admit but your videos are making my comeback easy and I am playing better than I ever have. Godspeed bud, I appreciate what you are doing and your personality is such that I almost feel like I am chillin with my buddy who is patiently guiding me back to the stage....one riff at a time! LoL! BTW, that open chord C and D arpeggiaded progression you use often is something I have been doing for years and I absolutely love the way it sounds. I also use a B sus and an A chord with it. Then I jump back to an E Major almost exactly like you do it on this video. Sorry about being so long winded but it's not every day you run across an instructor who is as easy to learn from as you. Seriously. Okay I'm done rambling! Peace out big guy! I'll be around picking up what you are laying down! 🤘🤘🤘😈
Awesome to hear this, and dude, I appreciate the kind words and support!
Also, if you don't have it yet, grab my free practice guide (tabs and video) here: www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
Jason, keep up with these easy to follow tutorials! Amazing stuff, man. The way you slowly walk through the steps is perfect. Very cool. thank you very much sir! Also, as a home brewer, I've put together a recipe for a super "pine and citrus" IPA that I've name the Stallworth Hop Grind. Super tasty and only 6.3 abv. Smooth and easy drinking just like your tutorials. Thanks again man.
Dude, that’s an honor to have a IPA with my name on it!!! ABV is perfect man!!!
I'm a 66 year old man I used to play guitar when I was a teenager with a marshall amp in a Stratocaster I dabbled for a couple years trying to get in band never was any good I play flute and saxophone now that I'm 66 I got a giant recording studio with 40 guitars can't play any of them but I love your beginner heavy metal lessons you got me practicing again thank you very much I love you brother
Brother, that is so encouraging to hear!!! And dude, sounds like you have an awesome studio!
By the way, if you don't have my free practice guide, grab it here: www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
I'll also be making some enhancements to it soon, which I will send you!
Great video!!
🙏🏻🤘
Thank you for these clean metal riffs and also the tone talk. Have a 5150iii myself and will be working on some of these cleans tonight. Thanks again, and hope you'll do another metal cleans video soon.
Yeah that 5150 III has a beautiful clean sound!!
Great lesson! That was very helpful for me and I will integrate it into my practicing routine.
🙏 🤘
Ozzy Osborne. ,close my eyes forever has some more of this technique. ..thanks bud
That's one amazing tune!
perfect video jason.. i've never even known what to look up to find out what style and how to play like james hetfields clean stuff.. like the actual technique, not just how to play his riffs.. thanks man
Always loved those riffs!
Jason is so good. I love these videos. The sound and content are excellent by the way.
I struggle a little with many US based youtube videos, on a variety of subjects, due to the persons OTT style, Im English by the way, but Jason has it just right, he talks like a normal bloke, is very easy to listen to as well as being both very informative and easy to understand.
Im just a beginner in the guitar, and find this channel very inspirational.
Thank you for the kind worlds! Funny thing is most of the music I listen to is from Europe!! I don't listen to much US music unless it's the older thrash metal bands!
Amazing, sounds very good and relaxing. 🤘👍
it's always so good to watch this channel after having a crazy day at work, totally different and interesting reality 🙏😉
Thank you 🙏 🤘
Great lesson man!
Thanks brother!
Buying a guitar this week at the ripe age of 38. I love listening to metal and now I want to play metal. 🤘
Awesome to hear that!!
Great stuff... Really enjoy your channel. Keep bringing the metal lessons.
Thank you!
Tone talk is good, it helps to understand how to generate simple to complex tones. I like it.
Awesome, I like to throw those at the end of some of my lesson videos like this!
Love that you are talking tone! I'm working on shaping my own with Bias fx2 and different pedals, sometimes a mix of both, usually a mimic and drop pedal before going into Bias. Hearing your insights into tone and sharing the actual settings with us I think is big time helpful! I'm learning a ton from you! Gear and tone talk is always welcome here!
Thank you Mark, good to hear that!
It was good to see this clean stuff actually used in practice. I clicked the link to "Never Enough" and was able to see that what I was doing was kind of easier but harder at the same time. For anyone who reads this, I recomend watching this video all the way through then clink the link to the song "Never Enough".
Thanks for the comment and for watching/listening to my music!
Sounded great to me!
It's cool to switch things up and go clean now and then!
I agree, I just wish I was better at it. Lol
Keep your tone talks! I really like how they are made. I love talking about gear and how they are used in different types of music.
I’ve definitely been including tone talk is many videos lately and it is interesting to see the settings involved!
Always love the clean intro metal riffs. And I'm with you on the keep it simple or I'll go to far thing. The tone talk is always great, always tweaking my sound to try to get it right. Great job
Really glad you hung around for the Tone Talk! Yep, keeping things simple can really expand your ability to write and play more because you're not overthinking.
Great video ,always something learned here presentation is easy to digest cudos to you !
That’s encouraging to hear dude!!
anyway to get the tab from this lesson? Thanks
I don't have for this lesson but I do provide tabs in my courses: metalmastermind.com/metal-riff-master/
