In this excerpt from our Richie Faulkner Tone Masterclass, watch as Richie discusses how he stepped into the legendary line-up of Judas Priest and was asked some questions he wasn’t expecting!
In this revealing interview, Richie shares the unexpected and laid-back nature of his audition process, which, of course, tested his musical skills, but, more importantly, his ability to mesh with the iconic band.
Plus, we hear how Glenn Tipton subtly tested him without Richie realizing it while he was “getting his sound.”
From borrowing train fare from his mother to meeting with the band’s iconic members like Glenn Tipton and Rob Halford, Richie’s story is one all guitarists should listen to, as you never know when a crucial coffee break could turn into a life-changing moment.
Discover how Richie’s approach to the guitar audition, without the presence of an audience but under the keen ear of Glenn from the stairs, led to the realization that the search for a guitarist was finally over.
Listen to Richie’s advice for guitarists when joining an established band, his respect for Judas Priest’s legacy, and how he was encouraged to bring his own unique flare to the audition while still respecting the sound of Judas Priest and KK Downing before him.
Hear directly from Richie about the challenges and expectations of replicating classic solos, creating his own interpretations, and the importance of ‘the hang’-fitting in with the band’s culture off-stage.
Whether you’re a fan of Judas Priest, an aspiring musician, or just love a good rock ’n’ roll story, this video is a must-watch!
