gallop pedal power riff — F
A repeated pedal-tone power chord riff on F: the root keeps coming back, with a single neighbouring chord (C5) breaking the repetition every two bars. The most direct riff shape, built for tight palm muting.
Tips
Practice just the root chord in steady eighth notes first before bringing in the second chord: picking-hand steadiness matters more than speed here.
