How to Play (and Write) Metal Riffs with Melodies
Вставка

- You voted for this on last week's video, and 'riffs with melodies' won by a long shot!!
And I was relieved that you guys chose melodies because that's my personal favorite.
You can play the most complicated riff or lead in the world but nothing captivatess me like an awesome melody.

***Here's the metal songwriting course I talked about: metalmastermind...
The important thing to remember in this video is you don't have to learn every single note or the exact way that I play these progressions.
Instead, focus on playing the actual progression. Play those chords over and over and you will naturally start to get ideas on what else to play with it.
It's all about YOU creating YOUR own riffs! And riffs with melodies!
Keep it Metal,
Jason

I really love (and appreciate) that you talk to those who are at the beginning of their metal guitar journey :)
🙏 🤘
who doesn't like to build on a great melodic rhythm, great stuff jason
Yes, those builds and melodies are what moves us from the inside out...heart-piercing!!!
Great lesson in more than one thing. I totally get what you’re saying about letting your playing being your own. You know as well as I do when you get a good riff and are in the groove it’s hard to play it the same exact way again.
That’s true!! Once you’ve got something you’ve gotta play over and over so that it’s engrained and part of you!!
That riff reminded me of the band Asia for some reason. Good lesson.
Love their and that old rock and roll vibe!
Thanks for the video. I got your beginners metal course and i love it. Great how you teach the concepts and encourage making up your own style in the process. Jason your an excellent teacher . Keep it up. Hopefully I will get to the masters riff course.
So great tot hear that and thank you for supporting my courses!
I was looking for some beginner tutorials for electric guitar on here and I saw a thumbnail of a dude wearing a Nightwish t-shirt. Instant click! So yea, I watched your video (and learnt something) thanks to your T-Shirt :)
Awesome, and yeah Nightwish is definitely one of my favorite bands!
I love the first riff. It reminded me of the melody of Run to the Hills by Iron Maiden.
🤘
Good stuff Jason! Glad to see that you like to encourage your students to internalize the concepts and come up with their own stuff. 🍻
I just feel that’s the best way to learn and push yourself forward much faster!
It’s funny because the “cool E” power chord can also be an inverted C Major, which is why it’s such a smooth transition because F’s 5th is a C
Awesome way to look at it!
I loved this type of video man!!! These kind of videos inspire me to make better riffs! Thanks man!
So awesome to hear that! 🤘
again best advice ever PLAY IT UR WAY
That’s always the best way! 🤘
Good class for Swedish Mello-Death music too. I will try this new grim-dark chord.
Oh man, I love some Swedish anything metal!!!
Great Lesson, Jason! Thanks!!!
🙏🏻🤘
Great lesson! Always learn something new watching your vids! 🤘
🤘
Love these lessions,...=) Thank´s Jason Wish ya ´ a happy new year, 2022 gonna be awesome! =)
🙏🏻🤘
Thanks for the video Jason🤟Can you make some atmospheric black metal videos in the future,please?I’m sure it’d be very inspirational.🎸🎼🤟
That's definitely something I'm interested in...I'd need to listen to more of that so if you can throw me a name or two of a band, I'd appreciate it. I do like Cradle of Filth as they're more melodic
@@jasonstallworth My favorite Black Metal band is Darkthrone. They have tons of albums (over 16) with some better than others. Good albums to start with are: Soulside Journey, A Blaze in the Northern Sky, Total Death, Old Star, Plaguewielder, Arctic Thunder, and their latest album Eternal Hails.
They aren't total purists, though. They mix it up with lots of Rock and Thrash elements and seem to be having lots of fun.
@@jasonstallworth The Black Metal act Burzum might cause you a lot of headaches in the comment section, so you might want to steer clear of that, even though Burzum is very crucial to the historical Black Metal Creative and Historical Timeline.
@@voronOsphere I’ll check these out
Thanks ! That was great and so informative 🤘
🙏🏻🤘
Awesome stuff !!!
🙏🏻🤘
You are definitely helping me to get more motivated!!! Thank you!!! Would you have advice about when jamming with band just throwing things together, What to listen for that other members might be playing? And how to work on something good that you hear with your own ear that you think just clicks. We are a very new garage band a bunch of 40 year olds that haven’t played in a band since high school. Any advice for a new band of 40 year olds would be wonderful thank you in advance.
Dude, it's inspiring that you're starting a band in your 40s...in our older age (I'm 46), we know more of what we want and what we're willing to tolerate, and not! And we're more focused and driven! The best thing is ti make sure you're aligned with folks that have the same values and vision. If you have that, the process will be more seamless.
What drum program do you use or do you write/program your own drums? I use Cakewalk and have only messed with the drum program that comes with it. It's very minimal and lacks drum beats I want. I just don't have time to do drums and write for guitar, piano and strings.
For these videos, EZ Drummer but I have the Metal Machine and Death Metal packs and just pull in loops. I don’t program anything.
For albums, I hire a real drummer.
I know what's on my 6am guitar lesson tommorrow!!
Nice! 🤘
That guitar 🎸 is way cool 😎 bro 🤘🏻
🤘
Like myself who throws iron for years, you and i have the sane thick hands n fingers…any advice for beginners playing as its a bitch hitting frets…guessing its reps n touch over time right? 💪🏼
Dude, you may like the Ibanez RG guitars with the Wizard necks because those fingerboards are a bit wider and the neck isn't as thick. I've noticed some guitars play better in my hands for those reasons!
@@jasonstallworth thanks brother! Yea i have the hetfield esp iron cross and its VERY thin oddly..not wide at all….thanks again!💪🏼👍
Cool lesson! What I also like about your channel is with all the subscribers you have… you’ll still respond to your comments!
Thank you, I try!!
Augmented E Power chord...seems to be moving towards Death Metal.
Wait, entire song Easy Living by WASP is written similarly in Diminished power chords...if I am correct.
Dave Mustaine does this all the time.
Your advice is very correct not to mimic.
Dude, I never really listened to WASP but yeah, Mustaine does this a bit!!
Sorry to bug ya big man,unrelated to this video but im keen to start recording im piss poor but i have and electric and a practice amp and headphones and a laptop.Whats a good easy interface or gadget what do i need to buy hardware wise for cheap,and which software is easy for a newb.i dont want to ask the guitar shop guys theyl ric roll me 4 sure

How to mute the E string after 2 strums ... I play it and it keeps vibrating 😂😭
That's a mix of using your palm is some cases and other cases using your fretting fingers to mute those strings. Usually a quick mute is all it takes. It's a technique that is learned over time with much practice.
@@jasonstallworth Do you have any video for learning ? Am still on riff one these days
I see a different room, did the wife lock you up in the cellar ?😎
😂 not yet!
