Richie Faulkner performs "Low Rider" on EMGtv

[@anttihirvi9371]

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 -_-

[@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]

🤘✌️

[@stevenwalsh5343]

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

[@MrMustard2U]

NO WAY...

[@jeriko5692]

agreed

[@darktoadone5068]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@forstr2002]

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

[@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/

[@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 !!!

[@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!

[@Hamshrocks]

Incredible guitar solo. Mr. Richie you inspire me.

[@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!

[@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]

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

[@NavidKhan84]

Ritchie is too good! Like a soulful Zakk...Love his tone and phrasing

[@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!

[@davidstock2713]

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

[@MetalHayd]

All praise the all mighty guitar legend

[@CARETAKER89able]

Such a nice V!

[@Jester_Kang]

Wow. So badass

[@Scrappalino]

God, I love the color on that 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.

[@MikeUIibarri]

One take "Richie". Legitimate. Savage.

[@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.

[@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..

+Janine Louvel i play this set and YES, very awesome pickups!

yea boi!

[@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.
