Beginner To Advanced Gallop Rhythms
Learn the technique and theory behind this essential metal rhythm guitar skill. This comprehensive video will be your guide from traditional gallop and reverse gallop rhythms into more advanced concepts. Featuring song examples for each rhythm you’ll be able to internalize each one and start churning out rapid fire and precise riffage in no time!
Tuning Notes:
For the first part of the video I play all riffs in standard tuning. Low to High: E A D G B E
For the advanced rhythms starting at about the ten minute mark I’m in Drop D tuning. Detune the Low E string to D. So low to high is now D A D G B E.
*Further notes:
‘Raining Blood’ is played by Slayer half a step down. From low to high: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb. I kept it in standard for this video for ease of demonstration.
‘Blooddrunk’ by Children of Bodom is performed on the album in Drop C. So drop the low E to a D and then drop all strings another whole step. So if you want to play to the album it would be from low to high: C G C F A D. I kept it in drop D for this video for ease of demonstration.
‘Ashes of the Wake’ is performed on the album in Drop D.

Excellent lesson. A lot of people seem to mix up triplets and gallops. Great breakdown to clarify. Loved the inclusion of the advanced section with the combined triplet gallops. I'm pretty sure that Carcass and Suffocation have used that variation quite a bit.

@TimHolman Жыл бұрын

Thank a lot! Yeah, you're right. 'Infecting the Crypts' is a Suffocation tune that I know offhand uses the gallop inside the triplet.

Hey everyone, just wanted to leave another note about tuning. I play all riffs for the gallop and reverse gallop in standard. The advanced portion where the gallop is within the triplet is all played in Drop D to coincide with song examples. I used these two tunings for ease of demonstration. This makes it easy to focus on the rhythm and avoids the need to retune for virtually every riff. Thanks for watching!

Hey Tim, ive found you around 2 months ago, and all the metallica songs u covered ( especially from killem all since im into this album currently ) are perfect, you explain really well, ur tone and sound ( not overbearing distortion ) are also perfect. You’re a legend really thank you so much for these, you take your time to explain every section and it’s just a fun way to learn them ( plus ur very accurate in the transcriptions ) rather than struggling to just follow a tab without a reference to see how they’re actually played/what fingers they’re using and all. In conclusion thank u lol just wanted to write this paragraph to apreciate ya!🤘🏼

Thanks Tim. These videos are a godsend! I've been consistently using your downstroke practice plan since September 2022 and it's increased my downstroke speed incredibly. I can't wait to start getting the same improvements to my gallop rhythms. Don't forget the Metallica vids! Am I Evil and Blitzkrieg would be nice to finish up the Elektra release of Kill Em' All.

Right on! Glad to hear that the routine is working. I'm redoing my lesson on Breadfan because I'm thoroughly unhappy with the first vid I did on it. Then I'm going to do Helpless because a lot of requests have come in for that one. Then I'm planning on Am I Evil and Blitzkrieg.

Best lesson I have seen thus far. They all call the gallop a triplet. So it seems I have been practicing a triplet ( down up down) + 1 down stroke. So whats that a reverse gallop with 4 notes? Been tripping up a bit with this one. I like the way you have the music and tab to see. As I actually can read music. The first thing I learned actually.

Barracuda riff was stolen from Nazareth's "This Flight Tonight" a song written by Joni Mitchel. The Four Horsemen riff was written by Dave Mustaine. but you probably already knew these things. 🙂 I enjoy these improv lessons. It's fun to practice these gallop rhythms and understand them better.

In all these rhythm tutorials I never see a reference to Jon Schaffer from Iced Earth, who I would consider to be the right hand master for classic metal.

Great lesson. I started galloping starting with up down up. I find it easier to power chord right after. Do you agree or should I just stick to the standard down up down?

@TimHolman Жыл бұрын

I would recommend practicing all the rhythms with the picking that I'm showing. Massively superior ability will result anytime you need to slow down and build a new habit into your playing.

Ya know the tabs are wrong on Blooddrunk by children of bodom? Your tabs show the 0 on the A string but you're doing gallops on the e string (in drop d)
