    Brad was one of the first local metal guitarists that I remember seeing back in the EARLY 90's in Orange county New York when I was just 17. A great guy who was a big part of my support corner 10 years ago when I had cancer. Glad to see him doing what he loves and I admit, I dig the fact that I get the bragging rights to say that I remember seeing him playing in smokey clubs back in the day before he was on the big stages he's on now. Rock on brother 🤘

    When it comes to teaching how to play guitar Jason is in a league of his own. Its always crystal clear, no question marks and i actually learn something from every video he puts out, anyone that can teach a talentless player like me something is nothing less than a genious

    I play almost every day after work just to jam and see what I can play. Still in my first year of playing guitar but I enjoy it way to much to ever stop playing. Guitar rocks!

    I agree with Brad when he is talking about jamming with a drummer around 4:00. What happens for me is I might come up with a riff and then show it to my band and my drummer might do a fill or swing the beat causing me to adapt the riff and maybe evolve the song. Jamming with others is a really good way to write your own stuff. Also just sitting down and playing is good too for stuff to come out! Cool video

    • @jasonstallworth

      Man, I miss playing with a drummer! My bands back in the 90s had some great drummers and I played on worship teams for decades with live drums. There's a magic that happens.

    Do you ever let yourself rip when you play wineries 😄. How the hell di you hold back? I gotta hear your metal voice. I'm a 60 year old solo dude, and I once in a while, I'll let loose my rock voice. I love the reaction from the crowd. Some dig it, others....
