I can only do medium but I’ll keep at it. Thanks for the exercises!

[@jacobwells3538]

Fantastic warm up for me there, cheers Steve

[@ShadowMantraSteve]

You're welcome 🤘

[@thalesdus9078]

Finally found a good exercise for galloping. Thanks man and keep up the good work!🤘🏻

[@ShadowMantraSteve]

You're welcome!

[@parksoo-kim6908]

2 bar gallop really gets the head bobbing

[@al6377]

1:52 is the exact same gallop pattern as In Flames - Trigger.. thanks a lot for that, I struggled for a long time to learn this

[@bigmoneychris9627]

Finally got it through the whole way, thanks for this amazing exercise it really works.

[@ShadowMantraSteve]

Glad it's helped!

[@HereForTheMusic-h5o]

Nearly got it. Had to spend a lot of time changing everything about how I was playing. How I hold my pick, how to play without anchoring, how to pick with my wrist instead of my elbow, how to pick without forcing it and trying too hard...

[@ThatEvilProduction]

Anymore advice

[@slingshotcrazy]

Just wanted to say that this is awesome and, despite having a long way to go to hit the 185bpm gallops consistently, I’ve saved this as a favourite video as I’m determined to be able to gallop consistently on the bottom string which is currently tuned to D and sounds awesome!!! Thanks so much for this video!!!!!

[@Skibalicious]

this is my favorite video of anything on youtube! thx

[@TheLoneBelisarius]

Dude this has been so helpful, really appreciate it!

[@GunterSchnitzel]

Dude thank you for this. Putting these to practice from now on. I’d love to see more technique videos from you! I’m sure anything that you practice a lot like this would make for some great KZbin content in addition to the covers

[@ShadowMantraSteve]

More to come for sure 🤘

[@satchrules101]

Thanks for this lesson! Was wondering how do you keep track in ur mind of each variation?

[@BrianAz]

Im late to the party and brand new to guitar. I just subscribed and send thanks and appreciation as the first part of your video, the 140 BPM 1/8 note gallops are just the exercise I need and I can follow along. It will be a LONG time before I can step it up but when you go to the 1/16 notes watching your picking got a little more challenging, but I got it (visually). The step up to 185 BPM was impossible to see your picking but I am guessing that by the time you master the exercise and reach the 185 BPM you should be able to figure it out. THanks!

[@ShadowMantraSteve]

Glad it's helpful! Enjoy learning guitar 🤘

[@baceinyoface]

and 3 years later i'm coming back to finally learn this the right way 😂😅

[@admiralrng6506]

2:50 raining blood?

[@Keeping-It-Real-55]

Super impressive!!! This is a PITA. Crazy going into all the galloping styles back to back. I'm working on 1/8 1/8 triplet four horsemen

[@pinx5976]

feel free to make more rhythm-part-demos for us....;)

[@zlecram]

Well, today 16/06/2024, after 15 days of literally giving blood from fingers, im able to play at "stage 2" haha. I´m a 41 years old and learning to play. Thank you for the best video of how to fking gallop without bullshit. Expect me to reply in a couple of years when I´ll be able do reach stage3 hehehe.

[@dubski.2k]

Fantastic! Would love to see more exercise/lessons!

[@ShadowMantraSteve]

[@MikaTarkela]

I've always thought that the Reverse Gallop was the actual gallop, hahah! Thanks for the exericises, will definitely use them!

Some tricky stuff on there, good luck!

[@HereForTheMusic-h5o]

@@ShadowMantraSteve There really is! Gallop picking is super hard at 220bpm and as much as I try I can't help incorporating my elbow.

[@ShadowMantraSteve]

I use my elbow a bit for fast gallops too

[@saifaddinright5036]

I watch and subscribe

[@ThatEvilProduction]

level 1 = not bad level 2 = (140 bpm) wtf it took me a couple days but i finally got the first part of medium down. my brain was like wtf. it's literally just getting used to hand doing the picking instead of writst. look at the guy in the video for example, he's using mostly hand muscles to gallop pick

[@stephenchaulker5521]

2:50-3:00 the Fast Constant Gallop is the ''Battery'' Gallop it sounds like??

[@shadownation992]

Nice... Tool part until 2.20 😅🤘

[@fishing50when70]

This is kind of like a speed burst exercise, but at a lower degree

[@yashpandirkar4814]

What Gauge should use, I am using 9 ,and my string is moving too much at fast speed,making me unable to play 😰

[@ShadowMantraSteve]

I tend to use 10s for E standard, 11s for D standard and 12s for C Standard

[@yashpandirkar4814]

@@ShadowMantraSteve ok I will try 10s

[@andyano6081]

@@yashpandirkar4814 you can always use a heavier pick since it will be stronger at catching the string w/in control

[@jakemerrick7756]

What I wanna know is does the technique change when doing this on the A string?

[@vergil2067]

Should be the same on every string.

Whats the name of your outro

[@ShadowMantraSteve]

It's just a small outro hook I wrote for my channel. It doesn't have a name at the moment.

[@richardjones2811]

Thought they are 2 eighth notes and a sixteenth?

[@micheldolores5924]

Or you can just practice blood of the scribe by lamb of god (only down picking w gallop), it will give you a bionic arm.

[@Reject101Personal]

Could even get 2 exercises in at 140 bpm hahaha

This video is an equinophobe’s nightmare

[@whitewalker608]

Hey, one question. Isn't your notation incorrect for triplets? Your notation is basically "n" skipped from 16th notes "1 e n a". What you're playing sounds like triplets.

[@ShadowMantraSteve]

There aren't any triplets in the exercise. It's quite common to get gallops and triplets mixed up. Gallops are typically two 16th notes and an 8th note or two 32nd notes and a 16th note. The longer note can come before or after the two shorter notes. Triplets are 3 notes with equal duration played over the space of 2 notes. Normally notated with the number 3 above or underneath

[@whitewalker608]

@@ShadowMantraSteve Yeah! But to me, it sounded like all the notes were of the same length. Were you able to tell the difference? I didn't hear the gap between 8th and 16th note. That's why I got confused whether you're playing triplets or gallops.
