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!

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

[@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

[@darktoadone5068]

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

[@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.

[@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]

🤘✌️

[@davidstock2713]

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

[@rockdog2843]

DUDE!! WOW!!

[@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.

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.

[@craigharrison5406]

yep this dude is undeniably a shredmeister

[@danijkgers7216]

Great song broh

[@metalvocalistwanted]

Sick.

[@marekvodicka]

I think he has great jams

[@MrBIOSkunk]

lick master!

[@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.

[@godopitbul715]

Fantastic!!!

[@newty72]

Speedy recovery Sir..

[@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.

[@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..

Funny how all guitars, no matter what they are, all sound better with a bit of wah.

Holy shit kiddos this is literally the first take improv to a track he's never heard. It's hardly gonna be inspired. Functional is really all you could expect. I doubt Paul Gilbert could have done it better.

[@BTGLEE]

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.

[@futurekarlos5256]

Dalton Killen It's the Dunlop Crybaby from Hell - Dimebag Darrell's signature wah

[@myworstenemy680]

Great playing. I know people will rip me for this, but I don't like his tone. Maybe it's the wah or room acoustics, but he sounds nasally. Never played the 57/66. Is that the way they sound? If so, sorry if I offended anyone.

[@SLAMSTERDAMN]

They usually sound 'richer', there might be a ceramic version & a alnico perhaps? Gotta see their website. I suspect a pre-BS tone was dialed for a Classic cut.

[@LONEWOLF-um6tp]

MyworstEnemy Yeah it almost sounds like he's playing on a cheap amp.

[@MegaWumba]

I used to have these same pickups and yes they are very nasally sounding same with the x series

[@shauntracy1276]

If you want to be a better guitarist you have to make up chords bend them and play the 5 on 2 A Dorian pattern and use chords and the 5 on twelve pattern back and forth to change scales smoothly and use more abstract guitar chords in your solos and f# Dorian is what I call 5 on 2 to get better at your skill, because better is always better. you can make up chords by just moving your fingers around or combing chord patterns part of each like the index middle fingers for the G and pinky ring for the D bar chord on fret 2, 3 and 4 and bend them for the F3 Dorian scale etc.

[@bradhiggason1051]

Shaun Tracy finally someone who knows their shit here

[@Mike-vu7em]

anybody know what kind of strings or what picks he uses. I'm curious

[@jerryIB100]

Alright whoever can answer this would be doing me a great favor. where the hell is the battery compartment in this guitar? cause these are active pickups and i can't seem to find a place for the battery besides under my pick guard which is totally inefficient. someone help please :/

[@SLAMSTERDAMN]

Aloha; it's either wrapped & stuffed into the control cavity, or a tech routs such for the batt(s), . I used to cram (2) 9v into this LP.

[@jamesoconnor1368]

+Jerry Abillama What SLAMSTERDAM said. Though if you're worried about cables getting jogged, just tape the battery in place in the cavity

[@jerryIB100]

+SLAMSTERDAMN to be quite frank the problem is more where it would fit inside the control cavity cause if you look a flying V its like a tele. you access the electronics from under the pick guard and i for one cannot understand where he put the battery cause it doesn't fit its too big. the only solution is to route another path for the battery but i want to do that as a last resort.

[@SLAMSTERDAMN]

EMG has a stompbox like power supply on their website.

[@user-pi2xl4jw3e]

am i the only one who came here halfway expecting to hear some cypress hill? yeah?

[@dr.j5642]

I agree Richie is the closest thing we have to Randy today. The style is extremely reminiscent. Obviously the Schenker influence is a reason why, but there's more Randy in there imo with all the aggression you hear. A recycled RR style is better than anything out there imho...
