What’s the one thing Richie Faulkner of Judas Priest wants every guitarist to know? The answer might actually shock you!
In this clip from our episode of Artist Greenroom with Richie Faulkner, Dinesh at Gibson Gear Guide sits down with Richie Faulkner and asks him what the one piece of advice he has for any guitarist out there. The Judas Priest guitarist certainly doesn’t disappoint, stripping it back to all that really matters—especially for anyone who is a live musician, or thinking about becoming a live musician as part of their guitar journey.
"Make mistakes", - Richie says.
Forget modes, theory, and overthinking—Richie reveals why none of that matters if you’re not putting in the hours and learning through doing. His story proves that experience beats perfection, and that chasing what feels right is the key to finding your sound.
Whether you’re just starting out or questioning your next step, this is the clip to remind you why playing guitar is about heart, your attitude and the love of playing.
And as Richie says - “You don’t have to be great to do, but you have to do, to be great.” Wise words from such an incredible guitarist!
