Richie Faulkner Guitar Solo (EPITAPH DVD) - Judas Priest

[@MrManalishi]

"Ladies & Gentleman, on the Heavy Metal guitar..."

[@tonypoore440]

That's how you introduce your new guitarist! Rob showing some love and respect for Ritchie. Class act.

[@jujuanimal1995]

So coooool

[@sablyptical]

Mr. Richie…Faulkner!!

[@singularismo]

True hero

[@r0man0ZzzZ]

F*ck Richie is the Heavy Metal Guitar

[@sandblastedsk1n]

Extremely underrated guitarist. He's what new metal guitarists need to be like! So much energy soul with that straight up rock and roll vibe.

[@aimfuldrifter]

That's true. Check out Joel Hoekstra from Whitesnake :) He's replacing Doug Aldrich.

[@zenarrrow]

Word

[@roccohitch7316]

I liked him instantly. 100% Agree with u.

[@Stevo_Drums]

How is he underrated? He’s in Judas Priest

[@sandblastedsk1n]

@@Stevo_Drums You do realise this comment is 7 years old right? This is when he was quite new to the scene, and damn well doing a great job at the start.

[@iluvkochikame]

This guy is a combo of Randy Rhoads, Dave Murray and Michael Schenker. You can literally hear his influences.

[@HiredGoonage]

And Zakk Wylde.

[@aimfuldrifter]

And I can hear some fast picking Paul Gilbert in it too! Incredible guy.

[@omaati]

And Doug Aldrich

[@tylerdees4850]

And,zakk wylde.

[@tunguyenanh4981]

that riff tho. Amazing

[@daveellcey]

The Best Most Creative Lead Guitar Solo .....Since Eddie Van Halen! You Rock Richie!!!

[@veenanitai]

Richie is not underrated guitarist, in fact he is very much appreciated guitarist. He enjoys his time with Judas priest and shouldn't be compared to K K Downing as he is unique and one of his kind. His skills are incredible and he learned that through his own hard work. Richie you are awesome, very talented musician

[@mrhyde2484]

I saw Priest a couple months ago and I remember thinking it's to bad KK isn't with them. I couldn't keep my eyes of this Faulkner kid. So energetic and appreciative to be part of Priest. It was cool watching Glen sit back and give the kid the spotlight. I came away really impressed.

[@159Bronze]

mrhyde2484 Kid? He's almost 40 lol

[@FierceMusicGroup]

Mummyxmas

[@picassoboy52]

change was inevitable....things change and people come and go....you cant stop it....but no way KK could play like this

[@antoinevannoote1018]

I don't care of which is better between KK and Faulkner, they are both amazing, just different. KK was a killing machine, but Ritchie gots his own style, and he's really an incredible guitarist.

[@VutecVision]

I'm 55 years old, and I feel I was born just at the right time to experience some fantastic music... Rock being the best!

[@inthere]

I envy you!

[@SRT140]

This is the best guitar solo I've ever heard with so much consistency

[@metalioncovers]

that's for damn sure. i love how robs says after the solo "lady's and gentlemen, on the HEAVY METAL GUITARRRR, RICHIE FAULKNER!

[@rbagel55]

Jesus-somebody better pour some water on that guitar,I think the fretboar d is on fire

[@RICCARDOREARDON]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO.. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MR.RICHIE FAULKER.. HE IS SO,SO INCREDIBLY UNDERRATED.. I LOVE HIS GIBSON LES PAUL CUSTOM...

[@morejake0391]

He reminds me so much of Randy Rhoads.

[@StueyDoo]

A lot of people's new favorite guitarist

[@richgagnon513]

The guy is a total beast of a player. Melodic, fast, great tone... the total package.

[@callummorgan3059]

Those licks from 01:00 onwards are just pure perfection

[@brazillianmetalhead]

Man, this guy is outstanding!

[@profilen5181]

that was so 80's I love it

[@mdguthro]

yes i totally agree, came to the comments section to see if someone else appreciated it as well

[@Fabianorocknwood]

Pure heavy metal!

[@SRT140]

0:31 always gives me mad chills

[@raultejedor]

Closest I´ve heard to Randy Rhoads since he died.

[@tomclancy9574]

Check out alexi lahi solos he also passed away sadly.

[@preciousmetals7114]

Huh? not even close

[@rrguitar1]

He is s great player. Articulate and understands that he does not need to over saturate his tone. Really nice licks in there. A great fit for this great band. How anyone can think otherwise is beyond me.

[@brianmjones6792]

People forger that K.K? Left Judas Priest.

[@JimiiBee]

I love what he plays from 1:00 onwards, sounds like it could be an amazing riff aswell. I must learn it

[@aimfuldrifter]

I think it's something similar to irish scale. Did you learn it? :)

[@gabrielsimunec1678]

I heard this solo now...Gotta learn lick at 1:00

[@lajjvo]

Check my other post. Simple tab is now online again ;)

[@gabrielsimunec1678]

lajjvo where did you post it?

[@elizamt1994]

According to an interview Priest did fairly recently, one of Richie/Rob/Glenn, actually said that this exact solo in the video we're watching inspired the main riff for "Spectre" off Firepower, and I imagine that this portion of the solo is where they took the individual notes and reworked it for Spectre

[@raysmetaltracks6782]

Ah yes, this was the very first I had ever seen of Richie. I was sour grapes at first. Aint nobody going to take KK's place!! (I'm an old dude, The Priest was the band that got me into music back in the very early 80's. Okay, I guess I'll see about this Richie kid, I thought. After watching this solo of his, I was SOLD. So much style, but humble at the same time. He keeps that Priest history sacred, but also brings his own flair to the band. Safe to say I'm a huge Faulkner (or Falconer, as Rob calls him) fan.

[@elcee4556]

Fun fact. 1:02 is now the intro riff of the new song “Gates of Hell”. Richie put that riff into good use

[@torkelsvenson6411]

Yeah, I reacted to that the first time I heard it. Same with one of his solos for EMG TV from 2012 being alot like the solo in that song

[@221b-l3t]

Not exactly but it is definetly super similar, I love that song especially that opening part.

[@blackstars26]

There are an overwhelming number of people referring to Richie as a "Kid". People he is 36 and long past puberty.

[@thekout]

tho he is younger than the rest of them so yeah :/

[@majav15mg]

I’m 38, I’m still a Virgin, live with mom and play with LEGOs. So fuck you. I’m still a kid. Call Children & Family. I don’t care.

[@steveb9151]

2:33 Glenn: I feel confident passing the baton to this bloke. Carry on, my son!

[@thenovatones-music]

Richie's one of the few guys who can play a solo that's intelligent, not just a bunch of notes or sounds.

[@louiscarrollmusic-lcm5331]

You can see how he's been influenced by Zakk Wylde. The stance, the head positioning. Such an amazing guitarist, drawing from an amazing source.

[@tomclancy9574]

When i close my eyes all i hear is randy rhoads.

[@Vorticy135]

He's better than Wylde because he actually plays the notes and not pinch harmonics every 5 seconds

[@vamosrafa123]

OH MY GOT , THE GREAT FANTASTIC GHITARIST !! MR. RICHIE !

[@JayT851]

I hear some Zakk Wylde/randy rhoads influence in here.

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

He's a devoted fan and student of both their styles :)

[@billmurley1752]

Some John Sykes too for sure

[@babekazimi]

Exactly, me too

[@NIRVANA13702]

so badass

[@lefterispanos9543]

What a beast what a "FAULKING" BEAST Love your playing man

[@Ogscottyp]

I thought i was watching a Doug Aldrich solo. Dude definitely expresses his influences all in a tasteful barrage of chops and licks.

[@aimfuldrifter]

That's true.

[@gmr9701]

Mix Aldrich, Wylde, Rhoads, Murray and Smith, and you got Richie

[@aimfuldrifter]

B.A.M.F Spot on.

[@Zig-Zag-Eyes]

Ozzy should definitely make his next album with Richie on guitar. Now that would be awesome. Someone please introduce Richie and Ozzy. Watt can stay as a sound engineer. He did his shot.

[@J1Z06]

Richie rocks!!!!

[@albarosantana7050]

So articulate! Wish Richie would get more recognition.

[@TheOceanMan-xc7qp]

Richie is the absolute bomb!!!!!

[@grahamlangford4031]

We need a band with Richie and Marty Friedman as lead guitarists, Richie is unbelievably good!!

[@get1rocstartim5]

About time we get someone with some real energy. Playing his own stuff no copycat guitar. Fucking ROCK N ROLL LIVES

Working on creating some tabs for this one. Anyone else doing it and like to share their work? Only got it on paper so far and nowhere near complete. Need the part from 1:25 and onwards.Cheers. Made a quick mind map gp5 file. Nothing but tabs laid out, but a great start for y'all. This is for 1:00-1:30 part. s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=71712584516517682209

I would like to help but in a free time. I may contact you in future. Cheers!

[@lajjvo]

+LukeInside hi. be my guest. as long as you upload the New filé ;)

[@aimfuldrifter]

Where do you do those tabs? GP?

[@lajjvo]

+LukeInside Hi. Yeah, just download guitarpro and select "New tab". After that it's everyman for himself. I know very little about GP so i'm not very good at creating tabs.

[@aimfuldrifter]

lajjvo Same here :P Used this programme for a couple of years and couldn't understand some parts. For example how to create legattos and such.

[@guitarloco7021]
