im simple man i saw dimebag , i clicked it

1:29 Got some Criminally Insane by Slayer over it

triplet is basically a foundation for any hardcore breakdown, henceforth breakdowns sound "brutal" gallops are what you hear from Barracuda by Heart, the rest is adding kick gallop to drums (especially thrash beat), and then it's history

I know you get this a lot probably and I'm not enrolled in your course, but I cannot thank you enough for always uploading content for free thats easy to digest. I appreciate it a whole lot.

Mike one thing that I like the most about your channel aside from the content itself is that not only do you not ram your classes down our throats, but you do plug your product without making the entire video an ad for it, and don't just tease us with some lazy guitar work to get us us to sign up. Like those garbage workout "secret to this and that" videos everywhere. I appreciate that.

For anyone who wants to see this concept taken to its extreme, check out Frank Zappa's "The Black Page".

@4:15 'Revolution Is My Name'

Mike I really appreciate all the videos during these crazy times

It’s so cool that you put so much time in videoes theese days🤘thanks Mike!

It was a very cool, lesson. I'm a player of 20years arsbut I'm guilty of not pickin my guitar uo for the past two years, but I plugged in my Ibanez ergodyne and got into the galloping vid last week, an it felt good. An now this today epic, very old school an I love it, thank u! More like this please to keep our spirits alive 🎸

Up @ 3am with a broken sleep schedule and the best person uploads good night so far

I’ve always struggled with what a triplet is compared to a gallop and 8ths and 16ths etc. Thanks, this was really helpful!

Love your videos Mike! Keep it going

You're a fantastic teacher! Nice playing!

ur vids help me so much. Thank you for existing

Dimebag on thumbnail = instant like

This is the most helpful guitar channel on KZfaq

Amazing lesson you r excellent make some more videos in this kind of topic ..

Brilliant lesson! You explained it in 6 minutes!!!

good lessons as always

The teaching style was very good👏🏻💪💪

Great lesson 👍

love your videos!

Very useful, good job.

Its like the chugs on Revolution is my name by pantera in the main riff

This was great!

Mike, a couple of songs to explore these technique are Train kept a rollin" ( fairly routine) and Dissident aggressor. Priest also uses variations on gallops and triplets on sad wings, these two techniques are huge parts of the priest "classic" sound from the 70s..

Its cool,easy to understand

Bloody Brilliant!

4:16 yes, and that pantera riff is live in a hole (as well as some others)

Hey Mike i just wanted to ask you if you can make a video on figuring out chords behind the solo. What i mean by that is that every time i listen to a solo it's just straight up impossible for me to figure out the chords for some reason and I'm sure i'm not the only one who's having trouble with this. If you have any tips for this please make a video on this subject. Thank you in advance and keep making awesome content.

Another great lesson

This is so intense!

Notiflications Gang

Down strokes killed it! Glad you stuck with it! Challenge accepted! Hahaha

Awesome lesson! Thx \m/

I can’t believe how much you look like John Cusack!!! It’s unbelievable!! Haha.

Great vid, well explained. James Hetfield seemed to like his quarter note triplets. Half of Fight Fire with Fire is just quarter note triplets. You should do a video on dotted eighth notes. We need more dotted eights in metal.

I think it's easier to just count the down strokes when you get to the higher tempos

Gracias!!!!!!!🎸🎸🎸

I like your lessons very much! Lately on I have returned to think of playing the guitar - I have 9 electric guitars (solid body). Anyway I haven't played the guitar for at least 12-15 years..unfortunately. I can say it is very tough to return to the guitar for so long period of time of not playing. I started play the guitar in 1993, by having been a great fan of Nirvana and some classic rock metal bands like Metallica, ACDC, or Guns and Roses. Currently I am trying to figure out what kind od guitar should I use now. Maybe the question sounds strange when you have so many guitars. However, for years of not playing, and only occasionally touching the instrument up to an hour a month, my hands weaned away from playing the instrument - they are flaccid like cotton wool or heavy to move like a stone. So I noticed that now the instrument is as foreign to me as a rifle for a person who does not like the army ... How does it look from the scale of the guitar neck, its radius, and also the length of the neck scale. I don't have long fingers, they are rather equal with my inner part of hands. Are guitars like Gibson Les Paul or Gibson SG better for people who don't have fingers as long as Steve Vai? There are also Jackson Dinky instruments that have a slightly shorter scale. I noticed that you often use these guitars interchangeably, if you could do an episode of your guitars and why and what you like to play them. I have been wondering about this lately. I don't force myself to buy super fast racing guitars in the style of Ibanez S. Although they are very good, they do not really appeal to me in terms of playing - they are difficult to master, and often have a very flat fingerboard angle, and wide intervals between frets. Maybe some tips about this problem versus the skills of guitarists ...

When he was demonstrating quarter eight and sixteenth notes in line with the drums, that could be a sick metal intro to a song

1:27 so awesome!!!!

So basically it is Revolution Is My Name by Pantera. Should've said that from the start, Mike!

Nice video

your quarter note triplet example just made me realize that Alannah Myles' - Black Velvet is actually quite heavy haha

I feel like I only know how to play the rhythm correctly because I already know how the songs I'm learning are supposed to go, I have no idea how to actually count it correctly (I should have learned when I was taking piano lessons, but I was a kid then and didn't pay attention, oops...)

I think a good way to clarify triplets is this: 3 triplets will occupy the space of one beat. For example, in 4/4 time, a group of triplets will occupy the same amount of time as one quarter note (1 beat, for a max total of 12 triplets, if all of them played in line with all quarter notes in a measure of 4 beats). Just remember, the definition of triplets is just that - a group of 3. They will always be in 3, as they always have to be together in order to be called "TRIPLEts"! :) A great example of this is Kirk's solo early on in For Whom The Bell Tolls. Tap your foot and whistle that solo he does - and you'll see that each group of triplets occupies one beat, and each measure contains 12 triplets.

Quarter note triplets, aka super triplets, are amazing for big chugging riffs in drop Q tuning for me, personally.

Nice video,thanks. I do all these but never knew what they are 🤣

3 fun tips for Groovy Riffage: 1. Play to drum tracks that feature a "Train" beat. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/brd9epqI0dOxpqM.html You can hear the kick drum keeping a nice pulse while the snare is being extra rhythmic Pantera's music was very much rooted in the "Southern Groove" and not Strict 4/4 time. If you feel that your playing lacks "groove" then ditch strict 4/4 time and start jamming to Train Beats...time your riffs and triplets to the snare instead of the kick for extra "groove" 2. Start your groovy riffs with an upstroke. The intro to Cowboys From Hell is waaaaay easier to play if you alternate pick beginning with an upstroke. That may sound counter-intuitive to people that associate Metal with down picking but trust me...there are some very interesting benefits to grooving with upstrokes too. 3. Play your Triplets between beats. Gojira is another band that has a great sense of groove. One of their grooviest songs is Stranded. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fLSUdsJksbiWcX0.html The triplets fall between the kick and snare giving the song a completely different feel versus linking everything directly to the drums. Placing triplets in spots that lack drums keeps the music both interesting and energetic.

Great lesson, man! What is that contraption on your bridge? Is that a tremolo?

Clicked because I saw Mr. Bag there. Getcha pull!!!!!!!!!

A way to count 16th note triplets is “biddilly diddilly”. It sounds funny but it rolls off the tongue even at much higher tempos and it helps you keep time very well. Learned this from Jake Lizzio

The-Art-Of-Thrash

Gold 👍

Hell yeah

Check out Iced Earth's Traveling in Stygian for some serious 16th note triplet gallops (?)... who know's what its called, but it sounds sick!

correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe the machine gun riff in One by Metallica is made of sixteenth note triplets (1 trip-let + trip-let DA, 3 trip-let + trip-let DA), thats how i'd count it at least, but i might be wrong

1:10 This is rock 'n' roll!

Could you do a drum technique video of Gar Samuelson?

cool!

2:50 Am I the only one who heard Don’t Tread On Me.

Damn I need some theory lessons

Nice

Please a tremolo picking tutorial

What gibson sg is that it sounds very good

Yay. I learned the intro to shimmy by system of a down

Gallop = 2 sixteenth notes and an eighth note in the space of a quarter note beat. Triplet = 3 notes in the normal space of a 2-note beat. How I learned to count triplets is 1-2-3 2-2-3 3-2-3 4-2-3. The fast part of One by Metallica sounds like 16th note triplets

I find the "1-trip-let + trip-let" counting very hard because it won't be countable when getting even remotely fast. Instead, I'm using the tip from the guy of SpectreSoundStudios (I think that's the name) and count "bib-a-lee did-a-lee" per beat. You don't get the "1 2 3 4" count in but that's what foot tapping/moving your head along is for.

Could you go over delay triplets and. how to use it its always confused me...can you have one repeat as slapback or does it need to be 3 repeats feel never understood it

You need to play John Cusack in the remake of Say Anything

5:38 Sounds like Jambi by Tool.

Have a listen to UFOs Lights out off the Strangers in the Night live album for a gallop rhythm

Pantera's Revolution is my name is in triplets right ? Also Cemetery Gates juuuust before the solo ther's a short triplet I think, correct me if I'm wrong

Im trying to figure out the count for the machine gun riff part for metallicas one. If anyone has any input it would help alot thanks!

I love you

Min 4:00 the best riff

Here's something fun: do an eight note and follow it up with three sixteenth note triplets. You basically get triplet gallops.

What kind of bridge if that?

So what is the actual time assignments to the notes in a gallop rhythm? Say for instance, the Heart song Barracuda?

You should learn gojira-backbone that is almost all gallops and it will destroy your wrists lol

The sixteenth note triplets you demonstrated come off as sextuplets. Is the only difference the accent in this case?

Is timing and rhythm as difficult for others as it is me? Maybe my brain just refuses to cooperate. I really have to think about it when I play.

1/4 Note Trips are Soooo Cool, Every Time...and they make your Drummer Happy! I play 4-String Bass exclusively now, so when guitarist lock in with me & drummer, the performance makes the audience Get Off Their Bottoms. Undergarments Come Off & Fly at Us. Make Sure Your Mom isn’t in the Crowd, First.

and i still stuck at Gallop

9th!

Gallops are basically what a drummer woould call hertas?

I was taught to count 1-la-li-2-la-li-

1:29 THRASH🤘

32nds and 64ths??

what kind of bridge is at that SG?

Triplet Trouble?

Drop D triplets: Just a Bullet Away - Metallica

5:43 take a few notes out and you end up with psycho holliday or fucking hostile

Mike I may be wrong but it seems to me that you're playing sextuplets rather than 16th note triplets. What am I missing?

I think the Metallica fan in you insisted on down picking those 16th notes.

The 16th note triplets remind me so much of a riff from Pull the Plug by Death! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lcqlm8uHxpPIm2w.html

Quarter note triplets in 4/4 are actually based on 16ths. This video demonstrates them as quarter notes in 12/8. Neither is more correct than the other. Shoulda shown the difference.
