Brandon T. 8-9-19 #1 (Palm-Muted Single Note/String Alternate Picking)

7/10/2024

Picture
This was given to a student to work on downward pick slanting, or upward escape motion. Basically, your up strokes go up and away from the guitar so you can more easily change strings after performing an up stroke.

Playing in a palm-muted position helps achieve this downward picking slant or upward escape motion.

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-

Brandon T. 5-17-19 #2 (Palm-Muted Drunken Gallop)

I like to call this rhythm pattern a "Drunken Gallop". 

A regular gallop typically consists of one 8th note, then two 16th notes.

A reverse gallop typically consists of two 16th notes, then one 8th note.

The drunken gallop goes one 16th note, one 8th note, then another 16th note.

The count for this is 1e_a2e_a3e_a4e_a

The rhythm for this is

1_na2_na3_na4_na
1en_2en_3en_4en_

Here is a fairly simple chord progression and common metal guitar strumming pattern. Although it may be simple and straightforward, getting this up to and beyond 180 BPM will prove to be quite challenging for most people. How fast can YOU get this?

The count for this rhythm is 1en_2en_3en_4en_
