"Jason is hands down the best at making it easy and understandable!"
"I am 41 years old with a lot of experience playing mediocre guitar that forced me into playing with music outside of my favorite genre. I got tired of playing with beats and synths and decided it was time to brave the world of the unknown and learn to do what I really want: Play metal.
I scoured youtube looking for someone that fit both the style, and taught in a way I could listen. Jason is hands down the best at making it easy and understandable. The playing it right isn't easy, but just in the small time since I've been doing these lessons, my picking and fingering have increased enough that I can comfortably record.
I can't thank Jason enough for giving me a path to the music I've always wanted to play."

Conquer Your Fretboard & Play Riffs You that Inspire You
Hi, I'm Jason Stallworth. I'm a full-time musician, songwriter, and have been helping guitarists reach their next level since 2010.
I've helped thousands of metal guitar players overcome these struggles:
- It seems that no matter how much you practice or how long you've been playing guitar you can't seem to breakthrough
Endless hours practicing the same basic techniques - Frustration with complex metal riffs, licks, and timing
- Feeling stuck watching YouTube videos that don't connect
- Get completely lost on the fretboard when it's time to solo
I know what it's like to feel stuck and feel like you're just not meant to be a great guitarist. It's easy to settle.
But I'm here to tell you that you have what it takes within you to become a killer metal guitar player...
