Richie Faulkner is probably the most fan friendly guitarist there is - and he's so down to earth and personable
Slash too
I'd like to see a nice-off between him and Paul Gilbert.
His personal channel is GREAT, if you haven't already checked him out

Thank you dude!!
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 never get tired of listening to Ritchie. Glad he is in Priest
I'm only at the beginning but painkiller played slow is an absolutely Iommic! Kinda Windstein-esk too (Crowbar) Badass
@@42069TV yea, he ain’t KK but nobody can match Ritchie either..
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.
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.
Same
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.
Stylish white loafers. Made me chuckle. haha
On the record, was it downpicked or alternat?
Judas sounds better with Richie
Faulkner is cool, love his passion.
his paula is the burner
שומר. תמונהת. פרופיל. אנק
Richie Faulkner is insanely talented and Uber Cool watching live when he comes out in his shades rocking the Flying V !!
@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 .
Not sure you know how sound travels. That's okay though. Educate your ear.
Get well soon Richie, we miss you and your phenomenal playing.
What happened to Richie?
Aortal fracture most probably whatever I heard
@@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. 🤘
Probably the best replacement to happen in rock/metal history.
You know he’s a great guy when he’s teaching his fans how to play these amazing songs
Eddie Van Halen did what??
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 ; )
@@biglovinpanda that is good to know I like his understated UK humor and the fact that his father-in-law is George Lynch's is kind of cool haha
“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 ?
Me too...playing his Signature Epiphone...killer guitar! But that Les Paul...oh baby! 😎🎸🤘🐦
PRIEST GUITARISTS.....K.K. DOWNING.........GLEN TIPTON..........RICHIE??????????
@@ralphdeep9029 you are so right. lol
@@ralphdeep9029 yeeeeesss, all this kids think that richie is the legend
A monster player. Holy smokes what a talent.
His tone is just perfect. His playing fits Priest so well. Constantly in awe if Faulkner. Amazing choice by Priest.
Richie was born to carry on the Priest legacy. He is as much Priest as KK and Glenn.
simon freeman dare I say he could also easily slip in for Adrian or Dave as well. Guy is super talented.
They picked a blonde guitarist and dressed him like KK.
@@petersideris6216 I havent heard him do Maiden stuff, but he seems comfortable with all the stuff Ive seen him play.
simon freeman search for a video Richie Faulkner Powerslave Solos.
@@simonfreeman6790 Richie used to play in the band of Lauren Harris, the daughter of Steve Harris, and they did Iron Maiden covers.
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!
Thanks for watching
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
God bless you my rocker friend ! Jesus saves!
Jeez, Songster has EVERY NOTE WRONG on Electric Eye...EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
I knew my ears weren't lying, thanks, Richie!
I couldn't agree more, looked at it today! EVERY NOTE is indeed wrong
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.
Still sounded good.
@@BlueTitan7 I started out listening to cassettes, learning by ear to develop it, and looking at guitar magazines back in the day
NUFF SAID. Marshall. Les Paul, Richie. Priest!
But not the Marshall live.. Uses Engl's...
Angel Black Worldwide and Epihone!
@@angelblackworldwide5763 I can live with that.
thank you, benjamin rimm
Wish it was a DSL100HR and EMG's tho
SOOOOOOOO unbelievably CRUNCHY!!!!
BIG guitar player,HD playing,heart,passion..nice guy..Judas,excellent choice
Wow he’s actually a really good teacher
U can't help but like Richie...
43 minutes of 4k footage of one of the coolest guitar players of all time teaching fucking cool riffs. I will take it.
we had the opportunity to meet Richie, most importantly he is a great guitarist, but above all a very nice person. Greetings from Poland !
I was literally trying to learn Electric Eye two days ago, and the next day we have The Falcon teaching it! What sorcery is this.
I would love to see Jerry Cantrell on one of the next epdisodes.
Update: Yess they did it!
Isn't Jerry Cantrell best know for playing G&Ls?
@@digoutyourMUSEsoul He's signed with Gibson now and has a signature SG
@@digoutyourMUSEsoul ua-cam.com/video/g3ZJkN5NHcY/v-deo.html
Man seriously! He posted he recorded an “Icons” video. Been waiting.
@Richard Skipper He is also my favorite guitar player! I hope we can see him in one of the next episodes.
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.
British guitar players started the Metal music that will never die keep on ROCKIN Mr Faulkner.
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.
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.
Also, I was surprised he doesn't know the difference between a power chord and a bar chord. Was that a joke?
Not one mention of 'music theory' thank god.
It's all about sound, man.
@@zeldamage001 yeah that one was definetly an inside joke
Get better Richie. I hope you recover from your heart attack. Prayers all around.
@KEN5423 when I wrote this I did not have the information. Nobody had the information. He had what's called AAA. Abdominal aortic aneurysm.
richie's playing is so money, cannot get enough of that tone!!
Ritchie Faulkner is The Best Modern Metal Guitarist and A great Fit For Judas Priest Such A Badass 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
This is probably the best video on the internet
It's the second best video on the internet behind Dreamer Deceiver live at the Ol' Grey Whistle
The guy suffered an aortic dissection, and still finished playing Painkiller before going to the hospital. He survived something that kills most people before they even reach the hospital. And he's back at it, making people believe in Rock n' Roll. 🤘
That's pretty damn metal!!!!
THE ALMIGHTY FLAWLESS FAULKNER🔥
Most viewed "riff lords" in the series.the guys a class act..
He’s been with Priest almost 10 years. Everybody acting like he joined last month 😂. Richie is a beast.
Great guitarist, great humble young man!
Get well soon, Richie & we’ll see you in Nashville ♥️
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!🙏
You can you see how much Richie just loves playing the guitar, his enthusiasm is infectious.
This guy plays in a band that was already a legend even before he was born. Let that sink in.
His tone is crushing. Love his playing he's got the style I like
This video is Gold! Wish more bands would do this...Tony Iommi where are you
More episodes coming soon!
💓 "..and on the seventh day, Iommi created metal" ✝️
Yeah, before they die. These videos set the record straight.
@Spiral Architect facts though...
@Spiral Architect no...realistic.
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.
Yes... except Chorus and Overdrive :D But that's ok, nothing bad in adding some effects for a little color ;)
@@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.
I have been a fan of Priest for over 40 years and Richie Faulkner to me re-energised Priest and took them forward.
Definitely agree. Like todays Priest much more than todays Maiden. Yep it is that serious
Thanks, Aragorn. Loved you since that time you saved Middle-Earth
He teaches well.
Agreed. Quite the opposite of a YJM lesson
"Funny when you break down your own stuff, Stuff you never knew"
Dudes pretty welk grounded. Humble man you can tell. He,d make a great guitar teacher.
Mr. Faulkner, I've never seen a rock legend be so forthcoming and approachable in an instruction video. You have my respect, sir.
Thank you Richie! You proved what I was right. 95% of the players play the verse riff of Electric Eye wrong...
Thank you Richie for keeping Priest alive!
Richie is the Mr Rogers of metal. So chill and down to earth.
JP definitely did the right thing hiring this guy, a solid solid guitarist!!!
You won't find a better video anywhere that shows why a Les Paul into a Marshall is THE rock and roll tone. Richie plays with so much attack, love it.
What a rockstar. Rocking a pair of white gucci loafers and shredding on his Gibsons, this guy is the MVP
How the fuck do you know they're Gucci?
@@elonmust7470 I can smell the quality leather and the fuck-off attitude of Gucci through my screen. Dead giveaway.
theodore Dow-man he’s gay
No frills, all skill
@@firdaus125 Unlikely, but what if he was? We didn't give a toss when Rob came out. Guess you're the loser in the argument you tried to start. x :-)
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 😁
I love Ritchie! Listening to priest for years and he’s a great addition.
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.
😂 Richie is a great guitar teacher i learned a lot already ! 👍😭😂😉
I'm so glad this guy can carry on for K.K, they really hit the one out of the park with Richie, guy's just a fantastic guitarist live and on record.
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.
Just some Sweet Judas Riff Head Banging.
That little thumb trick on painkiller is awesome ! I’ve always loved JP.
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.
Ritchie is a solid player without an ego - great traits of a teacher. Excellent video!
What a great teacher! Thank you!
Richie has truly become the Defender of the Faith.
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.
I love this guy. Can't imagine Dave Murray sitting down going thru Maiden riffs. This man is a true down to earth legend!!
No need for DM to do that, they're kids stuff.
@@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.
Ritchie is a absolute legend ,total respect 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
I love how Ritchie says Glen I plays painkiller wrong when Glen wrote it lol!
Wow How generous, 40 min of Rock Glory Thx Gibson & Ritchie !!!!
Nothing better than an LP into a JCM800.
You got that right. I have the 20 watt studio vintage, classic and the 20 watt jubilee.
I prefer JCM 900!
Judas Priest was my first concert... Duluth Minnesota, i hitchhiked with my buddy, during a blizzard from Marble Minnesota,, near Grand Rapids.. it was just short of 100 miles to Duluth .. it was January 1983 or 84. Screaming for vengeance tour... luckily we got a ride from others heading to the concert...got a ride back .... crazy
Painkiller just gets better, and better with age.
That was 43.06 minutes well spent. More from this man please.
This is the best Gibson TV video you guys have produced Thank you
Is Iommi a joke to you!
@@Les537 Black Sabbath rules
@@Les537 I have not watched the Iommi video yet. Does he show you how to play Black sabbath songs?
That signature Epiphone V is absolutely gorgeous.
What a delightful chap.
Richie is the riffiest riff that ever riffed a riff🤘🔥🤘
Does my heart good to see him on his Epiphone. Awesome dude on an awesome guitar!
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 😎
How is he not an endorsed artist? He's a bloody international treasure.
@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 .
That has got to be one of the most beautifully aged Les Paul's I've ever seen
Best Comment Award...
I wonder what year it is? It definitely looks 70's, Norlin era. 🤔
@@R3TR0R4V3 1974 LP Custom
Yellowed White Norlin Customs are super badass, especially if you find a heavy one
Sweet, thanks for the date confirmation. I have a '74 Les Paul Signature, Goldtop, semi-hollowbody.. But that's a whole different ballgame, guitar wise. Unlike a lot of people, I love Norlin era Gibson's.
Love his playing, and love that Les Paul Custom.
As a Priest fan for close to 45 years I never knew much about Faulkner. After watching this video all I can say is he is one hell of a guitar player!
What a great guy he is!
I saw this guy in 2018 in a concert here in Brazil and man... Amazing performance! A trully showman with lots of technique.
Electric Eye, my favorite and one of the best ..Richie is the best ever!
I'm not a guitarist.
To me, it's deeply fascinating to watch the little box he's playing in...
Just three or four frets...
That's all he needs to show excellent, timeless metal 🤘
Thanks Richie, always enjoy your connection with the fans. Feels like I'm just sitting around the coffee table and jamming with you. So cool.
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.
"...when I heard it -as a boy!" Dreams do come true... Keep on rockin'!
I’ve listened to your music for years. You’re bad ass! Feel better bro🤟🏻
He is my one of my TOP 10 GUITARIST OF ALL TIME!
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!
Very good opportunity for this period, the original guitarist of the legend heavy metal band teaches for free in youtube.
Last 30 years, when I first played Judas Priest songs, I never hope this teaching can be happened.
He's got some bad-ass tone. Hell of a player too.
