For anybody struggling with this, it’s all about your muscles in your picking arm. The more you practice the gallop rhythm, no mater how may it may sound, the more you practice and the more you will build the muscles in your arm, the better, more constant, and the faster you gallops will get.
You should be using wrist not arm, or you will burn out
Can feel my forearm tension as my pick is trying to spin away from the strings lol
thank you for the advice
trooper is literally the reason i’m here
Same here, did a search for Iron Maiden gallup and saw a bunch of videos, and picked Steve! Of course.
@@asdf9890 Same here - i have been trying to get to grips with this song in the quarantine.
I am here for Raining Blood 😁😁

Nothing negative towards you Steve you rock
Thanks Bob!
You are the reason why I didn't drop my guitar. Thank you very much. Very inspiring as always.
Easily explained. Fantastic
Awesome! So glad the video was helpful!
Thank you, Steve! Excellent video.
THANX FOR ALL YOUR LESSONS STEVE YOUR A GODSEND.
Another great lesson. Thank you Steve!
"Don't try to play it fast"
Thanks, I really needed to hear that. I learned Leper Messiah by Metallica and the gallop behind the solo is killing my hand.
Best explanation of this concept ever, thx Steve!
Thank you Steve.
Steve is one bad dude! Great teacher. Need you in Tenn.
Awesome Steve! One of my favorite Iron Maiden songs in the beggining!
your the man steve
"stay positive" - great advise Steve
awesome lesson...awesome teacher and MOST AWESOME guitarist!
All i can give u well wishes and thank you love u Steve
Good lesson
Thanks Steve. I have been Galloping all day. Comes in handy.
Steve, you are the best guitar instructor on CZcams! You explain things in a simple to understand way, giving all the import information without confusing the less inclined. Great, positive attitude!
Nice. I was trying to learn "Baracuda" and could never really get that part right 100% but this will be very helpful!
I really like the way you teach guitar, I got recommended one of your videos and subscribed to your channel immediately.
Now I've watched three of them and have learned a lot. The way you teach I can understand the lesson much easier than other lesson videos.
Thanks, you're my favorite guitar teacher I've found on CZcams!
Steve is the most encouraging professor I've ever had :)
Great lessons thank you!
Thanks so much, was learning the trooper so was exactly what I was looking for!
You are a guitar god amongst men! Thank you for the great lesson
You are very welcome
Steve love your.channel. You are very relatable and easy on the ears. You get your point across very well!
So glad I found your channel:)
Your upbeat and down to.earth
Another brilliant bit to improve playing the guitar Steve.
Recently got myself the "PGFL" and I'm absolutely amazed by your teaching. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Great lesson, you make it look sooo easy
Amazing teacher!
Always love your vids Steve.
Thank you! You are amazing🎸🎸🎸
Thank you, Rod!
I like your positive teaching attitude. I have owned the guitar for 18 years, but only now I practice "really" play it. Good that I found your teaching channel. Thanks! Playing this exercise quick and accurate is not so easy.
THIS really is such an excellent lesson. I would teach that your fretting hand is like "colors" and your picking hand is like your paint brush. There are a million different kinds of brushes and a million different ways to use them. Dynamics , also, which is difficult to teach on a video.
Very helpful for learning iron maiden. Thanks!
Great teacher!
Thanks for the easy to understand explanation
DAMN! I thought every chug was supposed to be going down and I was like 'nooo, I don't have that speed'. 😂
You are the best!
You rock Steve your my favourite
Thanks for the Support and Exploration. I tried to practice a lot ! For me it' s very Frustrating to practice !
Great 👍 lesson 👍
Very helpful !!! 🎸
I have never seen anyone explain this technique so clearly! I always force the down strokes to get the sound, and never considered playing sixteenth notes to achieve it..the hardest part is annunciating them like the song Murmaider by Dethklok..it's not a "Gallup" and sounds more like a quick triplet or 32nd notes all on beat one..great video thank you sir!
Thanks man!!!!
Excellent demonstration & explanation Steve! Thank you 👍🏽👍🏽.
Thanks David!
It sounds so awesome!!!
Thanks for the kind words, Sherlan! :-)

You are so cool bro, It's so relaxing learning the electric guitar, trying to get the gallop down
Wow never saw that way ur great teacher
hi Steve, thanks cool exersize, always good explanation :-)
Thanks, I can play the gallop rhythm easily on bass with my fingers but I was having a hard time getting the same feel on guitar with a pick. I'll work on it now that I understand what I was doing wrong.
I’ve watched several videos on the gallop - none really nailed the Maiden gallop. Found this, and what’s the first thing you play? THE Iron Maiden gallop - The Trooper. It really gets that ‘Charge of the Light Brigade’ vibe. Thank you, you nailed it.
Was doing it all along just didn't know what it was lol. Thanks for the great explanation as usual !
Simply the best guitar teacher.
Thanks for the kind words! :-)

I have been playing for 30+ years and in many bar bands. But I have never been able to master the "Gallop" over the years. Thanks for this video....maybe it isn't too late to learn..lol.
Hey thanks for commenting. Never to late to learn new things. So glad the lesson was helpful and any questions feel free to ask anytime!
Ok Mr Stine, you need to move to central TX (anywhere within 60 miles of Ft Hood will be fine) so that i can take lessons :). I have been fiddling with playing guitar since i was a kiddo in the early 80's and now that I'm older and can actually buy some of the stuff I could never have as a kid, I really want to learn to play. Its so hard to find a good instructor that has a plan on how he/she wants to teach in a fairly organized manor. Always love your videos,, and ya really seem to have a way of helping people wrap their head around what ya are trying to teach and that's a rare thing nowadays.....
You are an incredibly good teacher! I shall practise this endlessly, starting today.
Thanks for the kind words, Sebastian! And thanks for watching!. :-)

Devils Island by Megadeth is one those good songs for practicing gallop too!
Gonna work on this. A good example in classic rock is Barracuda by Heart.
yes Steve, I would LOVE a lesson on this one! :D
Wow!!! That was great, just keep the hand moving, duh! Thanx a lot , Steve and I will stay positive!
I'm sure you hear a lot of gratuitous platitudes but let me say, with heart felt honesty, you are truly a gifted musician and teacher.
Lmaoo “gratuitous platitudes”
I love that you went from hardcore death image to warm gentle smile in .0001 second. LOL I was laughing so hard I had to replay because I couldn't hear you over my own chuckling.
Always found these So easy to play...it just made sense, with No training or lessons.
Nice video, what i was looking for.. missing the number 2 up stroke is a pain.. seems like something so simple but, not so eazy..
Hi! Do you have a patreon? I would like to donate a little to you. Learned so much from your free youtube videos. Cheers!
Thanks Steve.. Great One.. actually I planned to stay on the sofa as I am ill currently... but during watching this...the "I have to grab my guitar and try it"-effect started immediately....so now in my basement bar and give it try...
right - this happens to me a lot too....
Arguably the best gallop player on the planet is Jon schaffer from iced earth. Examples off night of the stormrider album
That's a beautiful Jem you got there.
feel the metal gallop!!!
Ha!
Best gallop lesson right here. 2 month player. Couldn’t solve. Watched. Went super slow. Onto Flight of Icarus. Woke up my cat. 🤘🏼
Glad the video helped, Craig! And hey, cats sleep 12 or more hours a day, so he or she probably needed to wake up anyway, ha ha. :-)

Shit you didnt break a sweat in that intro, smooth
The Metallica gallop sounds so heavy I can never quite nail that, it always sounds like a fast Maiden gallop, the thrash gallop sounds like there two notes instead of three.🎸
Steve, I could use some help on something I'm experiencing with this gallop thing, maybe others have too. I accidentally learned this by doing the first into notes to the theme song for "King of the Hill". I then found it again today with the main rhythm in "One Headlight" by the wallflowers. BOTH use this gallop but unfortunately (I think?) I've accomplished this gallop song in a different way than you're describing and it comes easy to me but it might be wrong and I can't ditch it now. :( Essentially what's happening is I play Down, Up, Down Then because my pick is already down, I play Up Down Up. It's like paradiddle in drumming. I'm playing triplets but the starting position alternates. I can do this quick enough to play along with either of those songs but, is this a problem, the way I'm accomplishing it? I don't want to burn in a bad habit. I can't seem to do either of the methods you just instructed, at least I can't do them with any kind of speed or consistent repetition. What are your thoughts?
I kind of learned it the same way years ago. And that theme song is by my favorite band, The Refreshments. They're now known as Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers. Give them a listen, if you get a chance!
Hello Steve, I am an intermediate guitarist and i am just beginning to get this rhythm down. My problem is that i keep accidentally hitting the string on the upstroke in which im not supposed to play which prevents me from playing the rhythm properly unless i play it very slow. What would you recommend i do to stop this habit and move on to greater speeds with my galloping?
been playing guitar and bass for 22 years now... for the life of me i can't do this (even when going slow). It seems I need to unlearn my 'unhealthy' practices and start to work on pick control.
U are a very good teacher.most can drop dead .
A really cool effort though it takes some time to develop that solid rhythm
Hi steve! Please play "Every little thing she does is magic" - POLICE
Hy steve
IMO Run to the Hills and Disposable Hereos are the best gallops
Hey thanks for commenting and sharing. Great choices!
I can play the Hardwired pretty nice, but the problem I have is that I flex my bicep on my strumming hand too much, as much as I can actually. I am not sure how to rid of it.
Hi Steve, how would you play sixteenth sextuplets and sixteenth note triplets? Like for example sixteenth note pairs (each group has 4 sixteenth notes) grouped together under a single triplet header and also how would you play a group of sixteenth notes with the 6 written above them in guitar tab? That confuses the heck out of me in guitar tab.
Renaissance Man sextuplets and sixteenth note triplets are the same. Six notes per beat. Hope that helps.
Technique wise, how do you skip the down/up strokes? Thats what I'm struggling with.
I am not 100% sure, but I think he mentioned tht he makes pause at that point, but I guess other method would beto keep that down up down up steady rythm and just skip one wire stroke. That way your tempo should be more stable.
So...gallops are created by missing strokes? Here I am, thinking that you have to play them as fast as needed to make it SOUND as if you're missing/changing the beats...Thank you for the great lessons!
Thanks for watching! :-)
Just a heads-up, the special offer for Steve’s brand new course Guitar Improvisation ends tonight: guitarzoom.com/improvisation/promo/

Barracuda intro!
Could play this also with all upstrokes or downstrokes, which makes the alternate picking seem easy. The other option is to also do the picking with the fretting hand. Playing the right handed guitar is so limiting, and playing the mirror image changes ideas and timing.
It's very Hard for me to practice although I play about 30 years guitar !
Hi. Thanks for commenting. Consistency and practice are really the key to progressing. The more time you spend with the guitar, the faster you'll notice your progress. I know time is always an issue...but finding some time to practice will also keep you motivated. Keep up the good work. All the best! 🙂
ah, i see you already know the song i came for
still 2 Days .....my First Metallica LIVE ;-))))
A mix of 8th note and 16th notes
When I do it it hurts my shoulder
