Richie Faulkner's "do whatever you prefer" attitude is so nice and brings a humble kick to a community that likes to nitpick over technique and precision. This guy is what rock and roll is about and is keeping its spirit alive and well.

25:15 ironic, playing riffs written in the year he was born, and playing in a band formed one whole decade before he was born, But still a good replacement to K.K. tho, no offense.
I love the fact that Richie took the time to show an entire downstroke version of Painkiller using the "Hetfield Right Hand" and then the traditional up-down picking style. He was really able to demonstrate the subtle yet different groove of the riff when played using the techniques. Richie had massive shoes to fill, and he was able to fill them quite well in his stylish white loafers.
Actually, the version Richie plays is not really a traditionnal up-down pattern. With a classic up-down pattern, the pick would sometimes attack the A string with an up stroke, which isn't ideal for this specific riff. Richie always plays the A string with a down stroke, which means he has to break the alternate picking pattern at some point. The actual pattern he plays is : down (A string) - up (E string) - down (E string), and you repeat this pattern with a down stroke on the A string, so 2 consecutives down strokes. It's a very cool picking pattern that can be used on a lot of metal tunes that have challenging down picking only parts : Number of the Beast, Blackened, and of course Master of Puppets etc. It's a good compromise when you don't have the speed to play fast down picks parts, it will sound way closer to the real thing than playing strict alternate picking.
@@MrDoneboy During a concert last September he was rushed off stage and under went 10 hours of surgery having 5 different mechanical parts put in his chest. So glad he's still with us!
Well check out his KILLER "supergroup" debut album with Elegant Weapons from a few months ago. Thank me later. Trust me. It is like Priest/Maiden and Whitesnake had a badass kid.. If you loved "Firepower" you'll love Elegant Weapons. It's one of the best metal/hard rock/bluesy /sometimes thrashy releases of the year to my ears. 🤘
not only is richie a gem of a player, he also seems like a guy that is quite humble . i believe had he not come along priest would have folded.....love his up/down rythym playing
I was in the room for this session, I can testify Richie was incredibly patient, generous and articulate with his knowledge both on and off camera. His charisma and talent didn't hurt either ; )
I love Richie's relaxed approach. Talking about different E chords..."There's no rhyme or reason to it". Or different interlude riffs, saying "You can do it this way, or this way. Whichever you prefer". I'm so used to watching videos where guitarists harp on ridiculous technicalities! This guy just plays what sounds good, and he plays it WELL.
Aside from learning ridiculous riffs, I learned that this guy is a genuine class act. Very real, humble, and he gave you real good insight into the guitar in a very articulate way! Thank you!
@TheMetalGuy852 Respectfully disagree regarding the live performance. I was front row for that tour with DP. I never saw Rob lip syncing screams but I would not have been offended otherwise. Of all people he gets a pass from me. He is no spring chicken however his talent and passion remains top notch IMO. BTW it is not 1983 anymore unfortunately. I know I definitively am not what I used to be either. Just my $..02. Take care and stay safe .
Just saw Judas Priest in LA last Tuesday night and Richie was INCREDIBLE! I instantly because a huge fan. This guy can shred like the best. What a performer!
Love this. Its amazing to see how ahead of the time Priest's compositions were - still relevant and rocking today. I imagine Richie grew up listening to the band - and he fits in like he's been with them the whole time.
Can you imagine how Richie must've felt while auditioning for JP? And then how he felt when they told him, "you've got the gig mate!"😮 One of his favorite bands of all time! I bet that man's feet didn't touch the ground for months! That had to be so surreal. God bless his heart!🙏❤ He's quite literally a walking, talking miracle!🙏
If Richie released only Firepower under the Judas Priest flag it would be enough to enther the musical Valhalla. Firepower is an amazing record. Especially Rising from Ruins and Spectre.
want to hear on of the greatest sounds ever on earth kids?? here it is, a Gibson Les Paul into a Marshall 800, no effects, nothing. yesss. And a shout out to Richie, one of my fav guitarists today, down2earth, couldnt think of a better better to take the reigns for Priest.
@@Tashkis If anything, he is using an attenuator to take the voltage down and get more dirt, but you might want to mess with a chorus pedal, you are not sure of the effect if you hear it here.
@@axeman10001 Priest plays everything with a slight chorus on. In this case I really think I do hear a slight chorus on the open chords, it's not very clear but just the fact that Richie always uses it on all the time makes it a pretty good guess I think :)
@@Tashkis No I agree its a good theory, but Live Ritchie uses ENGL amps, not Marshall, 2 his board choice is more reminiscent of what zakk wylde would use, which is like rotovibe and wah. But in this you can see the cable running towards the amps with no pedals in the chain, but to get the overdrive the unit on top of the one marshall head lookes to be a voltage regulator which allows for more gain out of a cranked marshall head. andthing stereo wise to get that full chorus sound may be the mics and how they are eq'd, but the rig itself has no chorus for this.
@@axeman10001 yeah, you probably get the attenuator part right and that's a good catch :) but the chorus doesn't have to be in front of you, it can be sitting next to a cab somewhere and out of sight, cause I can't see the same exact cable, it's a long ass spool :D Zakk and Richie leave it on and not even on the pedal board.
INCREDIBLE guitar lesson! Loads of details, viewpoints on playing etc. You don't usually encounter this kind of intricacy in lessons from the pros. Truly: a masterclass! I'm very thankful for GibsonTV for sharing and Richie for taking the time to share his guitar heart with us.
What an excellent masterclass broken down into a 'simpler' phrasing. Richie is truly a brilliant and humble guitarist, and you can see he has true love for the Priest and the creators of these riffs which he emulates. A great watch.
He’s a great teacher which is certainly not common when asking band members to demonstrate their stuff. He did an excellent job, and even broke this down enough to explain it to non-guitarists too, such explaining pinch harmonics. Awesome! Now… back to playing Painkiller.
Richie is a class act, and a great guitar player. All the credit he gives to the Priest legacy, and not much to his own contribution, which is quite substantial by now. Cool cat, and these riffs are all soooo good...Thx Richie, keep it up man!
I like the insight he gives about the in between "guitar noises". Some of that is what differentiates someone who can play technically well and someone who gives the song a groove or a jive that brings it to life. Good stuff. Thanks Richie.
What's not to love about Mr. Faulkner! Awesome and down to earth guy! So killer that he took us through all the great Priests songs!! Also really refreshing to hear him say, things don't have to be so precise! Helps hacks like me!!! LOL!
I love how, even though K.K. Downing and the rest of Priest are in an estranged relationship, Richie still affords K.K. the due respect and credit for all that he contributed to Priest. Richie is a fantastic musician and human being, and is as much a part of Judas Priest as Glenn and Ken. I would love to see him play along K.K. on a tour.
I've been a Priest fan since I saw them live in 1978. Seeing Richie break down these riffs is awesome. Keep up the great work Mr. Faulkner, you're a fabulous player and guitar teacher!
This video made me remember how much I love the song heading out to the highway. He started playing that riff and I literally got chills all over my body! I've been listening to that doggone tune for 35 years and it can still do that. Priest has written some really amazing music!
I have learned more in this 40 minute lesson than I would have learned by watching hours and hours of RUclipsrs who call themselves "teachers" or "masters" and they probably never played live in their entire lives. THANK YOU RICHIE, and, of course, thank you Gibson.
@@dardobartoli Why would Maiden riffs be "kids stuff" but JP apparently aren't? It's not like it's that difficult to get either by ear. Riffs are easier to mimic by ear for the most part than solos. I did my own version of electric eye by listening to the record and I came up with something I think sounds better than the "official" way they play it.
Hahahaha... "Songster". What a lame resource to learn anything on guitar. Get a guitar book that's written by instructors, not some dweeb on the internet. You dweeb.
@@damone70 hahaha....just listen to the VINYL , if not it ain't worth playing anyway. Books , internet, etc create braindead clones. It's ok to take a quick look only.
Cheers Rich! This was such a fun, laid back lesson of some of the all time classics from 'Priest. Glad he chose these riffs to teach because they're some of my favs for sure 😎
I love how Richie said Glenn plays it wrong😁. This is a top shelf and unexpected video. I can appreciate the direction this channel is going right now.
Superb. Richie is deserving of all the plaudits, he's real talent & he invigorated Priest when they really needed it. Some of the greatest riffs in metal laid bare. Great stuff. That Firepower riff is sick. 🤘
@Jonathan Evola That's true, I forgot about that. I wish they would have him in the Artist Series on the Gibson website. I mean it's great that he has a signature series Epiphone but a signature Gibson says more i think .
Saw this guy with Priest, Thin Lizzy featuring Vivian Campbell, and BLS and he stole the friggin show even sharing the stage with 2 legendary guitar gods. Im a huge fan Ritchie is the real deal
I enjoyed his ending about the fun and enjoyment of the riffs it’s not always about complexity, things I try to practice in my riff writing. Also nice to know that I’m playing heading out to the highway they way he does. Great stuff.

Not sure you know how sound travels. That's okay though. Educate your ear.
we had the opportunity to meet Richie, most importantly he is a great guitarist, but above all a very nice person. Greetings from Poland !
His tone is crushing. Love his playing he's got the style I like
U can't help but like Richie...
I have become a big fan of Richie over the last few years. He's so talented but also so down to earth as a musician. All talent, no ego.
Richie has gotta be one of the best new rock guitar players going I'm super happy Gibson has been featuring him a lot more lately.
I like him too, but "new"? Dude is 40.
Still I can’t think of many “new” rock guitarists aside from him even worth talking about
There are always great guitar players. Seek and ye shall find.
Just saw Judas Priest in LA last Tuesday night and Richie was INCREDIBLE! I instantly because a huge fan. This guy can shred like the best. What a performer!
I saw Judas Priest the first time in 1984 at the Montreal forum, I was 18 dude. 7th row, I still have a guitar pick that I got in the face 😁
You can you see how much Richie just loves playing the guitar, his enthusiasm is infectious.
Mr. Faulkner, I've never seen a rock legend be so forthcoming and approachable in an instruction video. You have my respect, sir.
“What did you do today”
“Oh, I had a guitar lesson with the Priest guitarist’
What a great guy, brilliant video, and that Les Paul 😍
Love that when those old Customs turn yellow. What is that , a '72 ?

Love this. Its amazing to see how ahead of the time Priest's compositions were - still relevant and rocking today. I imagine Richie grew up listening to the band - and he fits in like he's been with them the whole time.
Richie was born to carry on the Priest legacy. He is as much Priest as KK and Glenn.

They picked a blonde guitarist and dressed him like KK.

Excellent thanks for showing these superb riffs, nice to see your having pleasure playing with Judas Priest.
