    Here we have one of the classic metal songs and solos of all time in "Living After Midnight" by Judas Priest. The songs comes from the bands 1980 release British Steel. It was catchy commercial sounding songs like this and "Breaking the Law" that helped the band break through to a bigger audience. But the mighty Priest has always kept their metal attitude and swagger no matter what.
    In this short solo by guitarist Glenn Tipton we see him playing in E major of all things with some super bluesy sounding licks out of the major pentatonic scale...but it's not all happy and major as that is not the Priest way. Glenn mixes in the minor third from the minor pentatonic scale to give it a tougher sound. Since the chords are all power chords you can go major or minor but Glenn did both! As metal solos go this one is pretty easy, but there is still some gooding bending and phrasing ideas to work on here for everybody.
    Head over to Patreon to grab the backing track and Guitar Pro/PDF TAB for this solo.
    Rock on!

    Very nice Nick! It’s such a cool solo and pretty simple, but you must be very precise with bending and vibrato to play it spot on. A great one for anyone starting out to work on those important skills. Great job! 👏🏻

    would love to see you do some riff lessons from Judas Priest, newer albums, like firepower, angel retribution, and Redeemer souls, even their latest invincible shield is really awesome, I love the classics, but I really would love to learn some stuff from their newer albums,in my opinion Richie Faulkner and Andy sneap have breathe new life into the band. No disrespect to Glenn or KK at all.

      @@NickLaytonGuitar hey nick that’s awesome. Glad to hear it, as a diehard fan I really wish they would play more of the “newer” songs live, especially from the last 4 to 5 albums. I love the classics but in my opinion they’re starting to get a little bit like kiss and stick to playing the same old same old setlist I understand it’s easier for Rob and the other three older members to remember to play those but now that they have Richie and Andy, I think you should expand the set list and add some more of the songs from the last 4 to 5 albums, instead of only playing one song from each
