Become the Metal Guitarist You're Meant to Be

Jason has helped thousands of guitar players go from beginner to intermediate — and even advanced — by making consistent progress while developing their own signature style of playing

Conquer Your Fretboard & Play Riffs 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.

Over the years, I’ve helped thousands of metal guitar players overcome struggles like:

• Feeling stuck no matter how much you practice

• Wasting hours on the same techniques with no real progress

• Frustration trying to play complex riffs, licks, or weird timing

• Getting lost on the fretboard every time you try to solo

• Watching endless YouTube videos but never truly connecting

I know what it’s like to feel like you’re just not meant to be a great guitarist. It’s easy to settle.

But I’m here to tell you—you have what it takes to become the metal guitarist you were meant to be.

Here's a Quick Peak Inside the Jason Stallworth Guitar Academy

👉 This course sets the foundation for everything else you’ll do in metal guitar.

Lead Guitar Apprentice

Whether you're starting from scratch or want to break through that lead guitar wall, this course helps you build the freedom and skill to express yourself on the fretboard.

Metal Riff Master

This is where you take your rhythm chops to the next level.

Metal Riff Master teaches you how to play (and write) powerful metal riffs by combining core techniques in new and creative ways. Every riff is original to this course—no recycled licks or fluff.

Inspired by legendary bands like Testament, Metallica, Slayer, Judas Priest, Queensrÿche, Dokken, and Whitesnake, you’ll build a wide vocabulary of riff styles while sharpening your rhythm playing.

This course is your launchpad to becoming a true riff machine—and building your own metal guitar style along the way.

Melodic Shredder

If you're already playing solos and know the basics, Melodic Shredder is your path to becoming a next-level lead guitarist.

Every solo and lick in this course is original—and they pull inspiration from masters of melody and speed like Joe Satriani, Kirk Hammett, Alex Skolnick, Eddie Van Halen, Nita Strauss, and Marty Friedman.

This isn’t about speed for speed’s sake. You’ll learn to combine feel, phrasing, and technique into guitar solos that actually say something.

• Learn solos in multiple metal sub-genres and keys

• Master melodic phrasing while building up shred-level technique

• Break out of scale boxes and start playing with confidence across the fretboard
