I really like that you don't waste 10 minutes telling us what you're going to do and begging for likes and subscriptions, great lesson. 🤘

I saw this video a while ago without any gallop practice, couldn’t even touch the middle speed and the 185 bpm seemed impossible. I just finished the video all the way through and all it takes it consistent practice. One piece of advice that helped me was practice until you can’t keep up, then restart and barely speed up the video and keep doing that until you can’t keep up with anything. You’ll get lots of practice with different bpms and you’ll master this before you know it. You got this

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

[jacobwells]

Fantastic warm up for me there, cheers Steve

[thalesdus]

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

[loveIsraelnow]

you make the gallop sound great and simple, thank you for the video

[bigmoneychris]

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

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

[njsteere]

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

[BetterThanMerch]

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...

[jackiehonda]

Ah. Just as I needed. Excellent video, thank you, Steve!

[WhoDaFoksThatGuy]

That went from “I can do this” to “Well… I suck at rhythm” real quick!😂

[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 YouTube content in addition to the covers

[Skibalicious]

this is my favorite video of anything on youtube! thx

[TheLoneBelisarius]

Dude this has been so helpful, really appreciate it!

I've been training on this video for 2 weeks now! TIPS FOR ALL GUYS LIKE ME:
- Don't play the same note as him! Instead, play 7 of the E string. This way you'll hear what you're doing better
- Practice this video every day and increase the reading speed gradually

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.

[andreitulvan]

1:17 medium begins (for practicing purposes)

[brendanhayward]

Awesome vid bro. Rocks out without even practicing to it

[MikaTarkela]

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