Allan W. 6-4-20 #6 (Gallops, Reverse Gallops, Inversions and Power Chords)

4/30/2024

0 Comments

This was given to a student to work on going back and forth between gallop and reverse gallop strumming patterns. This also works on playing some chord inversions along with standard power chords.

The first two bars going back and forth between a gallop then reverse gallop. The next two bars go back and forth between a reverse gallop then gallop.

The count for this is

1-na2en-3-na4en-
1-na2en-3-na4en-
1en-2-na3en-4-na

This was given to a student so they could have examples of chords not commonly used in metal music, but still sound good. These chords can add new sounds to your music instead of always relying on typical power chords (aka: 5th chords).

The rhythm for this chord progression is a standard gallop.

Mikehell 12-14-20 #1 (Difficult Rhythmic Picking - Three Different Gallops in One)

2/4/2024

0 Comments

 
Picture
This was given to a student to work on challenging rhythmic picking to improve playing metal riffs. This riff consists of the three gallop rhythms I teach students; the drunken gallop, regular gallop, and reverse gallop.

This riff is laid out in a 4/4 time signature, but the rhythm starts over again after three beats, essentially giving the rhythm a 3/4 time signature. A new note is played each new bar, fitting with the 4/4 time signature, while the rhythmic pattern changes every three beats, fitting in a 3/4 time signature.

This is basically a polymeter, where we have both a 4/4 AND a 3/4 time signature happening at the same time.

Counting this riff as a 4/4 time signature would go like this:

1e-a2-na3en-4e-a
1-na2en-3e-a4-na
1en-2e-a3-na4en-

To make playing this easier, I always count it like a 3/4 time signature, while paying attention to when I need to change notes.

Simply count the entire riff like this:

​1e-a2-na3en-
