Richie Faulkner performs "Low Rider" on EMGtv

Judas Priest guitarist Richie Faulkner came back to the EMGtv studio to play over Andy James’ original track, "Low Rider" (provided by Jam Track Central). Richie came in having never heard the track before and gave this performance in one take. Richie’s guitar is loaded with the EMG 57/66 humbucker set running through a Dunlop Wah and chorus pedal.

Those mirror shades kill and the way he wields and plays the guitar. I love richie from all my heart. Priest forever!

[@typicalaussie7574]

ahh yes preist forever so -_-

[@stevenwalsh5343]

just pure class Faulkner is without a doubt one of the greatest guitarist in metal today

[@MrMustard2U]

NO WAY...

[@jeriko5692]

agreed

[@brianmjones6792]

Ritchie Faulkner has been a true inspiration for me a not only a Judas Priest fan, but a guitar player. I love his style and technique. I have also seen him in many interviews and he is a classy stand up guy. Class all the way, as he knows how good he has it and didn’t forget where he came from .🤘🤘RF

[@cliffs8525]

🤘✌️

[@forstr2002]

The fact that Rickie never heard the backing track before, I'd say he nailed it...

[@darktoadone5068]

Judas Priest did their homework on this guy for sure, he's a great musician.

[@vladzubac5360]

from time to time just coming back to see master Faulkner rip those Pickups...they sound so 80s with his playing...glad to see EMG reviews which are not only chuggy metal tuned in drop A

[@veenanitai]

first class performance with so much precision and emotion. Pure metal without sacrificing the melody. great!

[@Snibborwocky]

Richie is quickly becoming a guitar God... \m/ \m/

[@yabo2424]

Andy James is a guitar god. I love Richie's playing , but Andy James smokes him !!!

[@aleroda]

Jeez. Mr Ritchie Falkner is surely out of this planet. Must have seen this video a thousand times. Really awesome skills and what a groovy vibe! Omg.

[@markroberts314]

I think I’ve just added to my list of my guitar greats!! F’king hell!!!!

[@Shafferhead]

The first time i saw this guy was when he played with Lauren Harris. I remember thinking "that guitarist was killer", that was 9 years ago. Now hes with priest and ive seen him once more and guess what. He still rips :)

[@allmassa]

Really impressive!!! Richie is a talent!

[@SoMyungJung]

1 take raw improv... can't get any better than this Richie rips \m/

[@jeleopard]

So Myung Jung Any person with basic audio experience can make any solo sound like 1 take. See: any record ever. Now, not to say some aren't one take, but the point is to make it impossible to tell if it is or isn't.

[@SoMyungJung]

Of course they can... I'm a recording engineer and there's a point where you can tell when its fake and when is not. In this case, I don't think that's the case where they fake it.

[@SLAMSTERDAMN]

+jeleopard ; RF is KNOWN for just letting his ears rip it on the fly. Yes, he's THAT GOOD.

[@jeleopard]

SLAMSTERDAMN That really doesn't mean much but aight.

[@SLAMSTERDAMN]

Fair enough. \m/

[@kennyken7278]

I really admire players who aren't too dependent on the whammy bar and string dampeners..so pure...Looks like this dude belongs to the school of Marty Friedman and Alex Skolnik....but his playing is Michael Schenker with a lil bit of Paul Gilbert no doubt...You can tell this is an impromptu playing, but his fingers are so damn automatic,not many people can do that! the mark of a great guitar player

[@shadowalk5141]

Kenny Ken Agreed. Glad I'm not the only here who's all for the fixed bridge shredders!

[@kennyken7278]

Yeah, I fucking hate guitar players who wank the whammy bar too much, it's a lazy way create a ''resting point'' in your solos,totally uncreative, repetitive and boring (cough Satriani cough) while fixed bridge players have no choice but to hit those notes all the time, Marty Friedman uses these resting points cleverly in all of his solos, that's why I really admire his playing...A whammy bar can be a useful creative tool as long as there is a musical value on top of it...but if you only use it as a tension/stress reliever or a helpline to buy time (ie harmonics-divebomb-harmonics-pull etc), then fuck....You belong to the school of Kerry King

[@SLAMSTERDAMN]

+Kenny Ken All you cats SAID IT! I mostly keep the bars to help W/ tuning stability, I yank on .10's pretty hard. Still going back to The stopended well soon over a Dean V.

[@14AspenDrive]

You guys are the definition of why the guitar community sucks

[@flavy1000]

The only player I could see up to now, that uses Marty´s strange right hand position and techinque =)A real improviser!! Love it!

[@Hamshrocks]

Incredible guitar solo. Mr. Richie you inspire me.

[@kevinabernathy5894]

Hell, Yeah! Old school shred. I'm sportin' wood. Richie's fearless with his riffage. He just cuts loose and melts faces. Me likey!

[@scotthughes4964]

the randy roahds of our time he's flawless

[@ednorton1853]

What ? are you serious..? Paaaleeeze. Tell ya what listen to this again, then directly after listen to Zakk's version and the difference in clarity is like nigh and day. I like Richie but to say he is a RR is a huge stretch .

[@gregarmstrong9334]

Listen and weep bitches lol!!!!!

[@CHOPERUS23]

It was pretty bad ass!

[@kyatzz]

Something about his playing just sounds very geniune. I can't quite put my finger on it but it's nice to listen to.

[@davidstock2713]

Fixed bridge limits Richie's actual capabilities, he's extraordinary with floyd, rising is stellar. Increases variety. Combined within pedal assortment, stellar variations.

[@MaxGiudice]

[@markrockledge8450]

Hey Richie Great Playing! The 57 Flying "V" was designed in 1957, but wasn't released until 1982. Technically the 1958 Gibson Flying "V" was the 1st. Flying "V" Guitar on the Market in 1958.

[@humbuck]

Such a nice V!

[@densealloy]

4:36 he does that a few times on these tracks. I thought it was legato until here. It is 1/16th note gallops which is where the pick attack is coming through and the slight pause between patterns. I think it sounds BA. Also, take note Hammett, this how a wah should be used. I'm becoming a Ritchie fan since his work with Priest is confining and derivative, for obvious reasons.

[@vincegedeon6583]

MY FACE IS MELTING! THIS GUY IS THE WOW FACTOR!

[@danijkgers7216]

Great song broh

[@rayray40]

Amazing.

[@AtuOma]

this tone, so "Paul Gilbert's Get out of my yard" tone

[@OperationEndGame]

I can definitely hear Michael Schenker influence in him....

[@Ionych13]

but Zakk Wylde - much more. all the sound almost

[@conradfincher8876]

@@Ionych13 not at all,he is much more stackato than zakk he also plays much slower

[@ronmulla325]

Absolutely!!!!!!

[@Appytail]

​@@conradfincher8876... Slower than Zakk, but more acurate ... Zakk play harder, but he turns circle. To me, Zakk is musicaly redundant. Seems to me Faulkner share more ressemblances with Randy Rhoads than Zakk. Also, I don't hear Schenker at all. To my humble opinion, I place Faulkner above both Zakk and Schenker just because I prefer to hear Faulkner.

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

Definitely Schenker and Randy Rhoads influences.

[@SWED510]

Richie is great but Zakk has that rustic feel I like. Both are amazing in their own way.

[@Scrappalino]

God, I love the color on that V.

[@justinfantastic4882]

better rounded guitarist than zakk.. huh ever heard Z play this track lol...Zakk can play anything Richie can, but Rich cant touch Zakk... from British metal to Southern metal dont forget whose doing the influencing and who is being influenced... anytime someone put's the term "honestly" in front of something look out lol..

I'd like to see all the haters who put this down just come into the studio and solo over this track in one take like Richie did. You couldn't do it, so shut the f**k up. Always negativity abounds. If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all.

[@crazybadcuber]

Did you just tell everybody to shut the fuck up, and then right after it say there's always negativity, and that if they have nothing good to say, say nothing at all? How is telling people to shut the fuck up not negative? How is that something good to say? Also, why do you think you're entitled to censor anybody who criticizes it? Fuck, if only positive opinions were allowed at all times nothing would ever get a bad review. You're a fucking idiot.
