I've been using a pick for years, but I'm now transitioning to playing with my fingers, and it's been quite challenging (arm fatigue), especially when tackling fast songs like those by Iron Maiden. This video has been incredibly helpful, and I'm committed to practicing extensively with it. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure ! Thank YOU ;)
Super well explained. And you must be the best english speaking Frenchman I’ve ever heard !
Cheers mate 🤩
Ouai, carrément :p
J'avoue t'as un British accent de malade! Tu as vécu combien d'années en Uk ?
Aucune ;) Merci beaucoup !
For some reason i cant play this style with 2 fingers, but learning lot about using index, middle and ring finger from Billy Sheehan helped me a lot. Chapter 12c ;) Great tutorial.
thirteen years of school, four years of university, yet I have never seen such simple and straightforward teaching. Probably you hear this a lot, you are a brilliant teacher. Thanks a lot.
Thank you very much ;) Nice to read this. Take care mate!
This has been the most informative lector on how to actually perform the gallop like Steve Harris. I’ve watched a lot of other channels which cover his style and other technical aspects but none of them actually describe how to physically perform the gallop. Thank you for your video it was extremely informative.
My pleasure ! And thanks a lot for this compliment ;)
Fantastic breakdown and explanation of Steve's technique. This is the best lesson I've seen on the gallop. I've always played this style with three fingers, but I understand the difference in sound now. Slowing building up two finger speed.
Thank you Didier!
Brilliant info and easy to understand, after years of using the pickup, I am now working on anchored wrist- floating thumb
Yeah 12a is defintely something I do. Physically it is easier to alternate the 1 from index and middle each gallop. Glad to be aware of it a bit more now. Great video, thank you.
Probably the single best bass lesson in existence. I violated Common mistake #1 for years (it was how I was taught, unfortunately). Worse than paying for bad info was the frustration led to my giving up on the bass. Many years later I happened across this video and started back up ...the bad habit woke back up with a vengeance as if some demon fighting exorcism. It took a while but I learned the correct way...better late than never. A million thanks!
Hey Greg, my pleasure you got it right eventually ! Just let me (us) know how it is going.
Thanks for the compliments ;)
DG
Steve Harris is the reason I have the speed I do. His technique is a good hand exercise.
Cheers !
Cool video. The Gallup was one of the first things I learned on the bass. I also lead with my middle finger and don't anchor my thumb. Learned that from watching live after death in the eighties over and over haha
I mean, the lesson per se is a masterpiece and when you mention the common errors AND the fingernail I just started clapping and yelling "we need more teachers like him damn it!"
Thank you so much Didier for sharing this pure gold lessons
Thank YOU ! My pleasure ;)
Wonderful analysis, great vid. Thank you for this!
I, by ear, found the sound of Steve. With playing very hard. I then got the string and fret sound. Playing run to the hills. I actively played hard. Ofcourse, now, I understand, his strings are extremely low, and thick. So. That means, he plays VERY VERY light.
Love your videos and bass skills. Played live after death ad nauseum and drove my parents nuts. I used to play along to the tape for hours on end. Keep up the good work and cheers from USA
Mate am I glad I found this, breaking down the mystery of this legendary bassist's technique. Steve has been an inspiration for me taking the bass back up after many years off, always loved his sound now I just have to practice, practice, practice. Thank you
My pleasure ;)
Lol this is beyond helpful. I will have to put a lot of time and work into what you shared. Thanks please keep em coming!!
Super vidéo 🤘🏻 très utile pour la progression merci mR
Excellente démonstration et explication au top
Thanks for the video! Your way of explaining the Steve Harris method or approach was great! I look forward to seeing more of your work. I'm actually a guitarist but I have messed around on bass for years. Due to my background in lead guitar, bass players often joked that I played bass like a guitar player. I see what they meant now. Lol
Didier thank you,that was great,I'll stay tuned
Ill bet Steve never ever even thought about it that much
Maybe, he just learned bass from scratch and it's why he actually created his own style.
I play bass 14 years and your instructions are really good. I can gallop but due to the nature of my genre prefences I gallop faster and more comfortably with two fingers
Wonderful tutorial. Thank you, man!!
Very nice didier, cool class! 👍
I'd like to thank Mr. Gerome for breaking my 10 year plateau! Just Watching just a of few of his very informative and very well explained videos, especially this gallop like Harris video!Thank you brother! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
You're welcome, my pleasure to share simply what I learned the hard way...
;-)
As always, a great video- a fantastic deconstruction of Steve Harris’ technique- excellent work!
Cheers 😎
I just found your channel - awesome! I have played guitar for many years but decided to expand into bass (my very first bass will arrive tomorrow); I see that your videos will be a great way to learn. Up the Irons!
Cheers mate ! My pleasure to help ;)
DG
Amazing, informative video. Thank you! I did gallop with alternating fingers so far. Will try to change that!
I'm glad I could help.
Cheers mate ;)
Dg
Maestro... Well done!
Great video!
It´s a great analisys, and very illustrative tutorial, thanks so much!!!
My pleasure ;)
Great lesson thank you!
Just found this video. Thank you was great ☺
Amazing content and perfectly presented. Not too long not too short not too serious and not too funny.
Perfect 🤙🍀🥳
Hey Lasse, thanks a lot for your kind review ;)
Et j'adore la photo de profil... la mère su...pé...rieure.... elle est costaud hein ? ;)
Just come across your channel. You have a wonderful talent both at playing and teaching. Love it!
Cheers mate! ;)
Well explained and beautifully shown. Thank you
Cheers mate 😁😁
Absolutely fantastic video! Thank you.
Cheers ;)
Brilliant Didier
Brilliantly done!
Cheers.
DG
Fantastique!! I’m just finishing off my blue Steve Harris bass.
Your tutorials and covers are brilliant and will be my main source as I learn to better my bass playing :)
Cheers mate! ;)
Really great tips. Thank you!
My pleasure ;)
Excellente démonstration et explications mercis pour les sous titres Patrick
Merci à vous ;)
DG
Thank you so much for the great lesson! I will practice this technique.
My pleasure ;)
Excellent video...love your very informative and detailed videos regarding Steve's particular techniques....I'm currently retraining myself to use 2 fingers instead of 3....definitely takes some practice...especially after using 3 fingers for 12 yrs and a pick prior to then.
This guy deserves 10x the views he is getting. terrific theory and explanation. Nice Work ! Cest Manafique
Cheers mate ;)
I like the explanation but what I love more is how, without explanation Steve just loved to play it that way because it ruled
Wow a lot to think about for such a "simple" technique! The advice of the wrist impressed me a lot, which I usually rely my thumb on the pickup when I'm play the e-string. The Steve Harris gallop is a matter of love/hate to me: which is a very cool rithmic thing but is also a bit boring to listen to for too much time. Thanks for this interesting tutorial and "even if I am Italian", I just wanna thank you Didier! Merci pour ton canal et grazie mille!
Merci à toi 🤓
Steve Harris - what a legend!
What an incredible explanation! Thank you very much.
My pleasure ;)
Best video on Harris ever! Thanks a ton
Cheers ;)
Great tips....I have a looong way to go as a year 1 bassist, but this gives me something to strive for! Cheers mate! And UP THE IRONS \m/
Cheers mate. But do not correlate time with achievement. With enough commitment and practice WITH FUN, even @ year one you can make it ! Keep it up mate 😁 check my tutorials on this subject.

Salut bravo et merci pour tes lumières , fan de Steve Harris je me lance à bosser les parties de basse de mon groupe préféré, et tes covers et conseils vont bien m'aider!!!
Super! Merci ;)
Excellent piece of work! Theory and practice both covered. :D
Thanks a lot ;)
This is so cool. As a beginner Player i practise the Intro of Running Free at the Moment. Sounds pretty good so far. My Teacher is doing Modes with me in the Lessons but this is where the Fun starts.
Thanks 👍
Very very good!!!
That was a Very informative vidio.
I've been trying to mimick Steve since I
first found this band. I have to change.
I like his interveiw where he says,
" I dont know what im playing half the time"
I guess he meens I just have Fun?
Thanks.
That's what made his success: he plays with guts and want to share. Full stop!
DG
This video was bloody incredible, now i understand the theory of it and it all makes sense
Thanks, I'm glad I could be of help. Don't hesitate to share it away ;)
Wish i found your channel earlier your tutorials are awesome! Keep it up.
Cheers mate ;)
You are a genius my friend. Thank you.
Thank YOU :)
These are awesome man. You're playing and technique are incredible Didier.
Cheers mate ;)
You bass looks fantastic!
Cool Video 😎
Wonderfull video
In regards to 3-finger galloping technique: @11:09 "... your bassline would lack authenticity."
I agree this technique may not accentuate the note division the same way Harris' technique does.
However the quote can be taken out of context.
One thing is certain Steve Harris utillises two fingers unlike Billy Sheehan and Alex Webster of Cannibal Corpse.
Alex uses 3 fingers for both galloping and straight 16th note pulse.
Absolutely amazing, especially for someone with no skill.
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
la technique de Mister Steve est ahurissante ,c'est un monstre ce mec ...allez je m'y remet ...
super tuto
Merci beaucoup et sage décision que de "t'y remettre" ;)
DG
Excellent tutorial Didier. Your English is excellent.
Cheers ;)
Awesome job
Cheers ;)
I don’t play a lot of Maiden stuff, but when I do I usually cheat and do the 3 finger gallop. Can I play along? Yes. But it never sounds like Steve. Thanks to your vid (and Covid 19 keeping me inside all day), I am now able to do the 2 finger method with the correct accented subdivisions. Sounds like Steve!! Now just need to get up to speed. Thanks!
My pleasure ;)
let's try it. Thanks a lot.
très fou, le grand Harris doit être très fier. excellence, et vitesse, technique.
Merci ;)
merci pour tous les détails
Avec plaisir 🤩
Now I want to see a video focused on Steve Harris live onstage in closeups. To see the legend doing all these things subconsciously.
You Sir are a genius.
Cheers ;)
Merci Didier!
Time to re-visit my 3-finger technique - I play Losfer, Trooper and NOtB in one of my bands and have never really invested the time to get the speed from two fingers for the gallop. So I use 3 but you're 100% right that the feel is wrong!
My pleasure ;)
I do the same and I always feel guilty when I play it for people because I know it's wrong. Most people don't seem to be able to tell though... or maybe they're just too nice
I will admit I'm a gutiar player that played bass in a metal band just to make money, and Iron Maiden was the only band that I had to cheat and use a pick on. Like Number of the Beast, and the Trooper .
@@Pnic1193 I feel like at least 95% of people (including musicians) won't ever hear it or detect it. But I feel like I'm lying to myself by playing with 3 fingers... That's me though, and it still sounds pretty amazing, but I'm gonna work to get that technique up to par, if only for myself and a few other people!
number of the beast has no triplets though. the other two sure .. but most of NoTB is strait 8th notes.
OMG you sound exactly like Steve! I'm typing this just 15 second into the video. I'm astounded! ok, back to watching the video...
Cheers mate ;)
Didier GÉRÔME lol met him once, "Cheers mate" appears to be the slogan xD
Very helpful thank you,
I've got lots of work to do.....
My pleasure ;)
We all do!
Thanks Mate.
I definitely use economy/alternate plucking (2 fingers) to achieve the gallop. Seems far less of strain to myself tbh, once you get used to it! Just my preference to achieve the same result
Really very good video! Since I do not speak French, I will be waiting for another video in English. :)
Thank you. Browse my playlist "English Videos" and you'll find other interesting things.
DG
Fantastic! Merci!
Thanks ;)
Awesome
Excellent tuto, j ai aimé le premier theorie, les doigts 1,3,,4 et le chapitre 12 common mistake, j ai beaucoup de boulot maintenant et réapprendre la technique adéquate, un gros merci Didier et j ai fait des recherche pour la basse de steve Harris bleu 2012, ca va etre difficille a trouver mais je demeure confiant, bonne journer et a plus, Alain (Québec)
Bonjour Alain, merci beaucoup et bonne chance pour trouver la perle rare ;)
@ tu sais, j'étais comme toi a la chercher absolument. car elle fait tout de meme moins fan absolu, mais j'ai quand même craqué pour l olympic white et finalement je regrette pas. ca reste une tres bonne précision. Et tu la trouves a prix raisonnable, bien moins chère que la bleue en occasion
Thanks for the tips. I
My pleasure 🤗
Hello Didier, un réel plaisir de découvrir ta page. J'ai découvert un Bruce Dickinson chauve qui joue du Steve Harris ;) ... Enjoy et big up from Switzerland !
Merci et bienvenue alors ;)
Thank you for the "galloping with 3 fingers" example. Even if I usually play with 3 fingers, my gallops are always done with 2 fingers and all the bass players I've met didn't get why I choose to play them like that. 3 fingers galloping always sounds too sloppy to me
Cheers mate!
They do indeed! And that's why I explained clearly why one should NOT use 3 fingers to gallop.
DG
Best gallop video on YT!!!
Btw: does Mr. Harris mutes strings with the neck hand???
Great video \m/ :D
Thank you for taking the time to make this and share. I'm only a beginner really but have been trying to get my head around the Steve Harris gallop technique for a while. You have definitely given me a few things to focus and work on :)
Couple of questions please:
1) Would you say it is more the pad of the finger like slapping the pads into the strings and through like normal walking finger. Or is it more the tips brushings past? Sure I read something about him lightly brushing strings or something but he seems to hit hard???
2) What would be a good Iron Maiden song to start with that uses the gallop but maybe at a slower speed?
Also what song to progress onto at intermediate and advanced gallop?
Cheers again ;)
Thank you ;)
1) I use the pads of my fingers for the skin gets thicker and thicker. I also use the tips. But you actually have to hit them as you do when slapping with your thumb. Imagine you think there is electricity in your strings and you want to check that out, you would not touch it as you would press you fingerprint on your smartphone to turn it on, but instead you would touch it as quickly as you can to avoid being electrified. The same thing you have to do to get the right amount of feeling and natural click sound.
2) To start, just try the "slow" galloping parts in "hallowed..." and "The rime..." then try triplets like in Steve's early songs. And when gallop is a second nature to you, risk yourself on "Somewhere in time" and "Killers".
Enjoy!
DG
Excellent just found your Channel Didier
You're heartily welcome ;)
Best video on the boss
Cheers ;)
Thank you !!!
My pleasure.
@ Hello! Can you tell us more about the right hand of this technique? Maybe something is not understood? There is a desire to learn this technique!
Excellent video! Always wanted someone to break down Steve Harris technique clear and precise!👏👏👏
Cheers ;)
For anyone curious, I found a good way to gallop on the low e is to kind of float your thumb near the top left corner of your pickup instead of trying to imagine the string! (I guess this depends on what kind of pickups you have)
Hey, nice tip. And yes it depends on the pickups.
Cheers anyway !
DG
great video mate, and you are a sound geezer (as Steve might say!)
Nice compliment. Cheers mate 😉
Seriously, there are a lot of bassists on youtube playing Iron Maiden with 3 fingers & only a few with 2. I'm a drummer & Maiden fan but also a bass lover (I dabble a bit but not much). Steve has forever impressed me for the percussive feel he has. You hit the nail in the head with your description of how its done & why it works so much better the correct way. Thanks for your time & effort!
You're welcome 😁. And where are you from ?
London England
I wish I could be born there instead of this rathole of mine ;)
Bravo pour tes super vidéos Didier, pourrais-tu me conseiller un morceau "facile" de Maiden pour m'entraîner au galloping? ou en tout cas un pas trop dur? Merci! ("what would be the easiest Maiden song to begin practicing gallop?")
Thank you!!!!!!
My pleasure, mate ;)
With 2 fingers (3 with thumb...) it's really amazing...with three fingers (4 with thumb...) it's much easier! But everyone has their own technique, and that's what makes individuality...
I'm thinking of Billy Sheehan right now...turn three into four! Just for example. Or Victor Wooten...and so on.
I didn't want to minimize anything...not at all.
Hello, you're right, everyone cook their own sauce and my job was to take the best of them all ;)
Great! Can you do a Wrath child cover?
