Welcome to the Rock gallop #1 lesson!
Gallop is a specific rhythm playing type that is based on a one 8th note and two 16th notes groups in loop. Probably it's the Iron Maiden band, that made gallop so famous within guitar players. In this lesson we will use several examples of gallop, including both - backing guitar and solo guitar mode. There is an additional guitar track which purpose is to fill the space in the song once main guitar plays on a higher positions. It also boosts the climax by adding harmonies to solo lines.
