Jason Mays

Hey, I’m Jason—a music journalist of sorts for the past few years and a lifelong gear nerd. At my core, I’m deeply passionate about helping people make music and exploring the wonderfully obsessive corners of the guitar universe. My work has appeared in Guitar.com, Guitar World, and The Fretboard Journal, where I’ve had the privilege of turning gear nerdery into something (hopefully) useful and engaging.

When I’m not writing or disappearing down yet another Jazzmaster rabbit hole, you’ll usually find me performing with my band Young Mountain or creating content for the YouTube channels PlayJason and Working Class Music—where offsets, ambient textures, and the occasional bit of tasteful chaos tend to live.
