The Basic Metal Gallop - Intermediate Metal Rhythm Guitar Lesson

[underlyingtheory]

Do you slightly mute the string you are 'gallop picking' ?

[underlyingtheory]

Anyone can give me a clue for the riff @ 0:08?!

It's pretty cool but can't play it as well. -_-

[RabidSquirell312]

sorry, no math equations on christmas break..

[GLINDameer]

uuumm wheres the ChordS?????

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

@GLINDameer Uhhh behind you.

[GLINDameer]

couldn find them i went back n still cant!!

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

@GLINDameer Keep looking. I am sure they are there \m/

[PooplickThe]

haha I like your guitar!

[sujaka2]

lab series amp? wow you're the first one on youtube I see with one :p

[Aristotelezz]

Great lesson! Very helpful!

[metalheadSAZ]

is that a testament gibson?

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

@metalheadSAZ Just a standard that I've heavily F'd with ;) \m/

[metalheadSAZ]

@ShredGuitarAcademy yeah i noticed it on other guitars you have, is it the same thing testament used to use, or just a printing of a traditional baphomet pentagram?

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

@metalheadSAZ It's just a traditional Baphomet sticker. If you go to the gear videos playlist on my channel there are videos up describing in detail a few of my guitars including this one. I plan to eventually do a video for each \m/

[THEPOWERMETALNINJA]

I figured this out myself but I do it backwards. I do up, miss, up, down, up, miss, up, down, up... Is it worse to do it this way?

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

@THEPOWERMETALNINJA I wouldn't suggest it. But there aren't really any rules if you are getting the sound you want. I think it's generally harder to accent with up strokes and if you want the first one to pop a bit it's probably easier to do that with a downstroke ;) \m/

[metalheadSAZ]

@THEPOWERMETALNINJA downstroke attack has more, umph,

[Imminentdeception]

Fuck yea behemoth cd in the back!

[TheAulGuitarist]

You should explain all about it and then play an actual riff with it

[AColonDashSix]

cool vid bro, good instruction picked this up pretty quickly after watching.

Keep it dude.

[dr4ug4R]

nice video :D what's that white RR style guitar in the background at 0:30?

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

@dr4ug4R 1st year Carvin Ultra V. \m/

[METALWEED420]

ive been playing for years and i already know how to do this but i have no understanding of music what so ever. i cant tell you keys and such and thanks to this guy im starting to understand. Thank's man

[Dicktopus]

What strings, and what is your tune dude? 1 step down? thx

[jfkdjfd]

It's good that you're doing this, but what you said at 2:50-ish, you made it so much harder to understand something i could play. Good job man.

[Metalornothing1]

do you do lessons via skype? i am very interested.

[opethforlife]

Very great teacher, i wish you the best luck in life and after it ;)

[matyasd88]

good lesson

[metalhead252525]

Nice video and badass shirt!

[chris123chris82]

wow great video man

[999gaucho]

There is no doubt you are the best guitar teacher on youtube.

Could you do someday a string muting while soloing lesson? Thanks a lot man!

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

@999gaucho Wow. Thanks my friend. Yes I plan to cover all I can. The tough thing is time. I get paid $25-$40 an hour for private lessons & would love to do so much more here but even as a Partner now I only earn about $2-$3 a day here. I have plans to help increase that & the more I can earn here the more I can cut back on private teaching which then of course means more time to make videos. I have to earn a living first & foremost so the better I can do here the more time I can put towards it.

[valsuarez]

good job!!!

[KMDCommentaries]

I've been playing for quite about a year and can play pretty fast but as soon as I try throwing in the up pick, I get stuck and it sounds bad. I started holding my pick almost like a pencil and I found it works better and I can slightly gallop but not very consistently any tips :/ and Added, love the videos :]

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

@KMDCommentaries Be sure to see my basic video on my favorite way to hold the pick. Other than that I don't know. Angle maybe? Be sure to make sure it's on the proper angle I talk about in that video. Sounds like that might be the problem. Other than that remember Rome wasn't built in a day. Sometimes improvement takes a lot of work and a long time. Sometimes it's measured in years. \m/

[KMDCommentaries]

@ShredGuitarAcademy I watched your pick one and it helped alot, I found that I was alternating in between down up down and up down up, for some reason just down up down is easier for me, but thanks for the best rock lessons on YouTube.

[Winterdenni]

I've always played it alternating between up down up & down up down for each series of three notes, which gives the gallop an alternating rise & fall sound.

Just sounds a bit nicer to my ears, notes are identical.

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

@Winterdenni Hey if you like it that way it's all good. There are no rules. I prefer it to sound more even. If your decision is based on what you prefer to hear than it certainly can't be wrong \m/

[Klasharx3x]

thanks for the add sir, your channel is awesome!

[LourencoFerreira]

Hey dude ,

Congratulations for all your videos , they are really helpfull ! :)

Could you play tell the name of the song that starts at 0:08 ?

Thanks for the atencion , Keep it metal /,,/

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

@LourencoFerreira It's from a song called "Ringing The Bells Of The Apocalypse" by one of the bands I'm in Anatolian Wisdom. It should be on our next album. \m/

[LourencoFerreira]

@ShredGuitarAcademy Thanks dude /,,/

[elkocherado]

Hey thanks for that. I was always playing triplets. Cant wait to get home and try it out. Cheers

[Jakster840]

THAT, sir, is a beautiful instrument.

[aanaqvi2]

Thumbs up if you came to this video because of troubles with learning Battery.

[jonburchfield2008]

badass sigil of baphomet on the guitar haha

[miaoudzilla]

hi, i read your comments but i don't get it.

a gallop is just rapid triplets....no?

(real question)

[xMyNameIsMike]

Your handwriting is as sloppy as mine :D

[rabbitohsbestfan]

plz learn the dethklok intro then teach us all :P

[kakan147]

I thought you needed a metal horse to metal gallop, but i assume you have one.

[YoNiggerMobile]

Can't fathom the difference between this and the 1 and 3 Gallop

same picking pattern... except the accent on the beat

speed is a bit different

or am I wrong?

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

@YoNiggerMobile I can't fathom that you can't fathom the difference;) This is just groups of 3 over and over 3,3,3,3,3, etc. The 1 and 3 is alternating 1,3,1,3,1,3,1,3 etc. \m/

[YoNiggerMobile]

@ShredGuitarAcademy oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­h... me is stupid! =D

BTW you rule man!!! Great lessons! Thank you for your work!

[1904812]

for me it will be helpful. thx

[Nilephan666]

Emperor. \m/

[bigglue69]

thank goodness finally explains the gallop correctly!

please keep up the good work

burner_anyway

[xXxBuLLeTxXx1]

glad you sent me a message...that slap guitar solo thing you did on the other video was crazy haha

[nazisucksass]

EMPEROR FTW!

[XIIdmb53IIX]

howd you get the scream at the end of the 3rd riff at thebeginning?

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

@XIIdmb53IIX It's an artificial harmonic. I'll be putting together a lesson on that soon. \m/

[XIIdmb53IIX]

@ShredGuitarAcademy kay, thank you very much

by the way, you have great lessons.

[Arariusomg]

@ShredGuitarAcademy More specifically a pinch harmonic yuh?

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

@Arariusomg Yes \m/

[docoftheworld]

What is the song at the end of this video?!?!?!!??

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

@docoftheworld All the music at the end of the videos are clips from a demo of the solo album I'm working on. \m/

[docoftheworld]

@ShredGuitarAcademy I can tell its going to be a masterpiece, last seconds that gives this little solo are AMAZING ... I wish you could upload that piece ... RESPECT

[dimeowns100]

This guy sounds like bobbycripsy!

[xstevie666]

"There's a common misconception that it's a triplet". YES! Thank you. At last somebody said it. I was somewhat surprised to here it from a guitarist instead of a drummer though :).

[themainproblem]

So this is the technique that Heart used in the song Barricuda? It sounds like it.

[MKvsdctester2]

Is in that a reverse gallope you are showing?

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

@MKvsdctester2 I'm not sure what you mean? Do you mean Because it starts on the & and not the 1?

[MKvsdctester2]

@ShredGuitarAcademy To my knowledge the gallope is (down up down)

The reverse gallope is (down down up)

[1971SuperLead]

What was the first metal song to feature this technic?

And don't say the theme song for Bonanza because it wasn't metal.

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

@1971SuperLead Aww I don't know. It probably depends on what your definition of metal is. I'd say the most famous early song would be Barracuda by Heart. But I think Maiden is the band that made the gallop famous.

[1971SuperLead]

So this is what I've been doing for 35 years. Now I know what I'm doing. Thank you.

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

@1971SuperLead If I didn't have to teach this stuff I probably wouldn't know the theory behind it either. \m/

[devero501]

love the pentagram on ur guitar and ur arm man \m/

[BeyondEvil308]

I have problems sometimes when i gallop on the ADBG strings. I end up hitting the string above or below them. is this a common problem, should i control my picking better?

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

@BeyondEvil308 Nothing I'm sure more practice can't fix \m/

[TurkeyJizzle]

Ah shit... marching band flash backs. Very thorough though :D

[earthman202]

a lot of maiden songs use galloping so this helped me out a lot in learning them :)

shanks

[muizzizz]

very nice lesson, man. helped a lot. thanks (:

[tenken1981]

Metalocalypse - The Lost Vikings :p

[DiamondAudio4Life]
