They joined because they were done searching and ready to play the style of music they actually want to play.

I’m already recording the kind of metal I’ve always wanted to play.

ā€œJason is hands down the best at making it easy and understandable!
I’m 41 and had years of playing what I’d call mediocre guitar, always outside my favorite genre.

I finally decided to dive into metal, but didn’t know where to start. After searching YouTube, I found Jason. He makes everything easy to understand.

The lessons aren’t ā€˜easy,’ but they work, and my picking and fingering have improved so much that I’m already recording the kind of metal I’ve always wanted to play.ā€

Real progress from real guitarists inside the Jason Stallworth Guitar Academy.

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 

Why Guitarists Who've Tried Everything Else Finally Make Real Progress Here

  • Every lesson connects to the next: no more random riffs that go nowhere
  • No theory overload: just practical metal guitar you can use immediately
  • Real fundamentals that build speed, control, and confidence naturally
  • Play theĀ musicĀ you actually love: classicĀ heavy metal, thrash metal, death metal
  • Develop your own sound and style, not a copy of someone else's
  • Go at your own pace with no deadlines and no pressure

Real Guitarists. Real Progress.

Guitarists around the world are improving their playing through the Academy. Here’s what a few of them had to say:

ā€œYour lessons helped me finally improve on electric guitar.ā€

I’ve played guitar for many years, mostly acoustic, and bought my first electric in 2019.
I love metal and I’m really glad I found Jason on YouTube — his lessons helped me make real progress.
— Csaba Szabo

ā€œJason’s lessons help me find my style.ā€

I love combining Maiden and Metallica influences, and Jason’s approach helped me finally make it my own.
His courses opened new ways to hear and play metal.
— Kent L.

ā€œTaken my guitar playing to another level!ā€

FAQ

Still got a few questions? Here are the ones I hear most — let's get them answered.

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.
