So many great guitar players over the years. Every once in a while there is a special one with a unique sound and style. Jason did that. He's not only amazing but if you close your eyes and listen, you know it's him. Hard to do....

Truth. Their are some players you just know who they are. He's one of the newer greats. Quick but with feel.

Jason Hook is one KICK ASS metal guitarist! Absolutely love your tone and your very casual way of sharing your skills and knowledge. Fan Boy Forever

Not really a 5FDP fan, but I always thought Jason was an excellent guitarist, and Loved his solos. He should be better known than he is. He's great!

I could watch and listen to Jason all day long. An amazing musician. 😁I hope Flat Black will be everything that he wants it to be!! Definitely my favorite new band!

Man this guy's picking is fkn clean and exact. I started listening to 5FDP in the gym for lifting and really became a fan of Jason's playing. I will follow his career for sure. Need's another solo album for sure.....

Right! Not even just clean and exact but also rhythmic as HELL! 90% of his stuff you can’t help but bob your head to🤘🏾

Ivan! are you watching??? Free lessons from one hell of a guitarist!!

I dig your sense of rhythm

GREAT lesson. Jason is able to teach without coming across as pretentious. Thanks for sharing, Jason.

I'm not a 5fdp fan, however I'm a fan of Jason. Dude is so fluid and clean and precise. very underrated player and I love watching videos of just him to hear his genius.

The best advice I’ve ever heard came from this master, he said ‘’ your never good enough, always practice, again and again and again, like the whole saying practice makes perfect ‘’ but the way he said it was way better than me, but it only mean anyone’s can play like him ....... if you practice enough. 👍👍👍👍

Probably the Baddest Ass Guitarist Walking bro 💯 Just found this I'm appreciative you are doing this. Talk about leveling tf Up! Thnx Brother Modern Southern Rock Rebellion

I find it to be awesome, that he takes time out of his day to do this for everyone who wants to learn. Just another reason to stay a fan of FFDP.. Thanks for your time Jason.

4:17 I feel that. I’ve been playing drums for almost 8 years now and whenever I try to slow down a fill or a groove it just jams my brain like you said 😂

I wanna Play like the guitar like you.

I love 5 FDP and I love your solo guitar parts in every song ! Your awesome!!!!💖💖💖

Man that tone is just crushing.... luv it.

its the end of the first lick that makes it so awesome…nice work

I am A FFDP fan, And in my opinion, Jason Hook is one of the best guitarist out there in modern hard rock. Great video, man.. Hope to see more.

Joshua -- see Jason in the 2016 documentary Hired Gun. It is a killer look back through history at session players, players that moved from band to band, and their contributions to the music we love. Jason, was in Mandy Moore's band, as a hired gun. Everything was going great, but then her handlers decided she was going to do movies, and everything came to a halt for her band, which were all hired guns for her. AND THEN, Jason was picked to play for Hillary Duff. Crazy right? 2 music acts that were not what you would think for him. Well, touring with Hillary was great, and Jason had an awesome paying gig. Well, Hillary's team sent out an email saying that she was taking her career in a new direction....movies. It happened again! A little before this time, Jason had become friends with Jeremy Spencer of Death Punch. Death Punch was having issues with their guitar player, and Jeremy asked Jason to come down and play. And well, the rest is history :) Great documentary: Hired Gun.

One of the best guitarists in modern rock/metal era. Awesome licks. And i like you aren't good in slowing licks down 'cause it proofs you play it just as you feel :) many players lack this ability :) thank you for super cool music :)

Wonderful!!!!

I like watching his right hand when hes soloing. The way his thumb is moving, seems to me must be imparting something extra to his pick action. Rather unique.

never listen to this guy till today..good hands..definantly not a slacker..spent his time practicing for sure.. first lick is jake e lee..second lick is paul gilbert..3rd lick is joey taffolla...the last stretch lick is basically gilbert meets jake e lee

In that shred riff he played a little piece from the solo on the song American Capitalist single, he just put in a little throwback

Thanks jason you fucking rock brother..

awesome

Thanks hook

Badass!

wow great! thumb up

Dude your gunna be beyond stoked on my new patented guitar and bass neck. I prototyped it and am finishing up my sponsor vid demo with 20 1 min riffs. It allows you to get sounds never heard or were capable on any guitar ever built!! It's hard to play. For 6 or 4 string so it's not a big ass neck. My uncle Gary Lucas gram nom with Joan Osborne. Jeff Buckley ( grace / mojo pin) Chris Cornell Ect. look forward to gettin you a proto! I'll send the vid

Jason you should a solo album, 5FDP is getting old and your amazing!

angryheb1 he has one called Safety Dunce

that last lick is played on only the first two strings (looks & sounds like more) and uses only the pinky, middle and index finger on the 19th, 15th and 12th frets. He incorporates that little double upstroke/mini-sweep (mentioned in the first lick) to speed it up. A lot easier to play on my Les Paul (shorter scale) than my strat.

wrong all 6 are played friend

Damn! That right hand is fucking insane!

So much easier to learn today with the people who wrote the song showing you how to play it. Still it would be great to have an app where you could zoom in and slow down the finger changes. Back in the day all we has was a shitty record player you could slow down to 16 RPM so it was an octave lower and to learn the part you had to keep putting the needle back. Very good ear training though. 5FDP, one of the great metal bands out there today. A cut above.

That riff at 7:05 is sic!!!

From Mandy Moore to five finger death punch doesn't matter what you play as long as you do it well and he he certainly does

When can we get an acoustic lesson?

Lesson for the solo from the pride pls ;)

The chorus demonstration sounds and looks like it's in E positions. I hear a little of shifts from E to B and G.

He is actually very different. 1. Syn uses a schecter with a Seymour Duncan invader and sustainiac. He also sweeps alot. If you heard Jason in 5FDP he doesn't really sweep. And syn plays in drop D, C#, and standard. Jason plays in baritone tuning which is B standard. So that is quite a bit lower than syn. Granted both are superb guitarists. They both differ in tones.
