By Jason Stallworth - metal guitarist, solo artist, and trusted by over 113,000 YouTube subscribers
Join 800+ guitarists already inside the Academy.
They joined because they were done searching and ready to play the style of music they actually want to play.
Iām already recording the kind of metal Iāve always wanted to play.
āJason is hands down the best at making it easy and understandable!
Iām 41 and had years of playing what Iād call mediocre guitar, always outside my favorite genre.
I finally decided to dive into metal, but didnāt know where to start. After searching YouTube, I found Jason. He makes everything easy to understand.
The lessons arenāt āeasy,ā but they work, and my picking and fingering have improved so much that Iām already recording the kind of metal Iāve always wanted to play.ā

The Gap Between Where You Are and Where You Want to Be Isn't a Talent Problem
If you've spent years watching guitarists on YouTube, learning riffs here and there, but still feel like something's missing, you're not alone.
I've been helping metal guitarists close that gap since 2010. And the answer is almost never more riffs or more theory. It's structure, direction, and the freedom to develop your own style.
With the right path:
- Tighten your riffs and rhythms
- Build speed and control without tension
- Connect everything you've learned into real songs
- Own the fretboard when it's time to solo or write
You already have what it takes. I'll help you bring it out.Ā

- No theory overload: just practical metal guitar you can use immediately

Real Guitarists. Real Progress.
Guitarists around the world are improving their playing through the Academy. Hereās what a few of them had to say:
āYour lessons helped me finally improve on electric guitar.ā
Iāve played guitar for many years, mostly acoustic, and bought my first electric in 2019.
I love metal and Iām really glad I found Jason on YouTube ā his lessons helped me make real progress.
ā Csaba Szabo
āJasonās lessons help me find my style.ā
I love combining Maiden and Metallica influences, and Jasonās approach helped me finally make it my own.
His courses opened new ways to hear and play metal.

FAQ
Still got a few questions? Here are the ones I hear most ā let's get them answered.
Iāve tried YouTube lessons before. How is this different?
What if Iām not good enough yet?
How much time do I need each week?
What if I join and itās not for me?
I've bought courses before that didn't work for me. What makes this different?
Some members say it better than I ever could!
"I'm loving the hell out of your course. For 10 fking years I've been looking for a course like yours. I've been all over the internet, including Lick Library, Truefire, Jam Track Central, etc. I'm not saying they are bad. They don't have a true learning path like your course. I love it and I'm learning.Ā
The advice you gave about not trying to be like other players is exactly what I needed to hear. I've wasted time and money on the other websites. They may be for some players but I can't connect with them.Ā
Keep doing whatever you're doing. It truly is a unique guitar learning course."

Metal guitar isn't just something that you do.
It's part of who YOU are.
The guitarists who look back with regret aren't the ones who tried and failed. They're the ones who kept putting it off.
