IMPORTANT: Hey guys, I screwed up! In section one, those first 4 notes (the bends) should be at the 21st fret, NOT the 22nd fret. My apologies for any confusion caused. While I tabbed it wrong, I played it right. I would fix the video properly, but I deleted all of the supporting files that were used in the mix, and I really don't want to start all the way over... these videos take a pretty long time to edit and pull together. Thanks for understanding, and please let me know if you have questions! :)
You played it correctly that's all that counts. I prefer to vision it instead of reading tablature myself. Remember one thing we are humans not robots. At least not quite yet.😃😲
I was 14 in 1985 when I started playing, so I learned during the Golden Age of gunslinger guitar playing and even after playing for over 30 years, this is one that I've never been able to get 100 pcnt right and you just kicked the schitt out of it. God, you really piss me off. :) Killer. One of the top 5 badass from the hair days.
Hey thanks bro, we are the same exact age. It truly was an amazing time to be learning guitar in the 80s! I remember the phrasing on this one always challenged me too and I would always improvise about 25% of it. I finally decided a few years ago to just take the time and really dissect it. Such a classic! :)
Excellent tutorial!! Thank you so much for taking time out of your life to do this. I was in a metal band in 1987 and this was one of our songs. The other guitar player and I were pretty competitive with each on the lead guitar stuff, lol. Heck, we were in our late teens and wanted all the girls to look at us, hehe. We divided our song list up for who was to play the leads. The other guitarist got the pick of this song and he did a fantastic job of it. I never got around to learning this solo, but it's always been on the ole bucket list. This is a SUPERB lesson for this solo. Again, I can't thank you enough for posting this, man.
Dave u nailed it. As an advanced player myself I haven't seen anyone give this lesson in detail like you. Just like all your other lessons especially the Van Halen lessons u my friend in my eyes n through my ears are spot on. I'm subscribing to ur channel. ROCK ON! 👊👍🎸😎
Mr Freak...you kick ass! You always have such accurate representation of the original solos and you execute them flawlessly! I like how you always teach songs without feeling like you need to teach how to play guitar like a lot of the other TH-camrs. Well done!
No worries man! The format you use we you present this stuff makes it so much easier to work through. You have developed a style of teaching that is very efficient to the learning process
HELL YEA PDX!!!!... I love this old priest stuff...and iron maiden...this stuff is so good and still stands the test of time !!!!....rock on my brother!!!
Yeahh man! awesome song, solo and tutorial! This song means a lot to me because it was 2007, i was 14 years old and i got a videogame called Guitar Hero and this was the first song i played and i never heard Heavy Metal before and it blew my mind, i'm a metalhead since then, thanks for this video man!
''more about attitude and feel, than flash'' I wouldn't discount any aspect of this solo, one of the very best of all time, the flash is in the brilliance of how this solo fit and brought so much to rock guitar playing. Best of all time of course for my buck was EVH, there were many incredible players from this era, Glenn was certainly one of them.
Well done Sire! Very well done indeed. Appreciate you sharing your impressive skills with us. Especially for nailing it as in getting it EXACTLY right. Did I forget to say Well Done?
Excellent lesson. Like how you broke it up into parts with tab. Someone requested for me to play it. I'm really close in a fast way thanks to you. Rock on
The first time I saw Judas Priest I was shocked when I saw Glenn was in his mid forties. Damn the old guy can rock! (I was 22 at the time) The Screaming for Vengeance tour was the best concert I ever saw out of 60-65 concerts I attended.
Thank you so much for another great post and content Dave! since I have picked up the guitar again after not playing for many years and decided to master it this time, you have played a pivotal role in teaching me the last techniques that I have needed to learn. Thank you so much, you rock and keep it up!
Excellent spot on tutorial! I always improvised the improvised section. And while I was close, your breakdown of it really helped me get it down note-for-note! You really should do the whole SFV album! Cuz EVERY track is a killer song! Thanks and cheers!
I’m a new to your channel man but in the past few months you’ve helped me improve my skills I really appreciate your videos and knowledge you pass on thanks 💯🔥🎸
Great job! Love the slow down and tab visuals! Can you please do lessons for the verses and choruses too ie the whole song and the rhythm guitar parts for the solo? Thx and keep it up!
Awesome. I much prefer Tipton's playing when he does the blues based stuff like this, as opposed to when he and KK started getting more into sweeping and other 80s stuff later on. Nothing wrong with that stuff, but I just prefer when they played like this.
Yeah me too! Actually I think the Vengeance album solos have just the perfect mix of blues based stuff and early '80s flash. The stuff they did later in the '80s just didn't really connect with me the same.
@@PDXguitarfreak Also, Screaming for Vengeance was the last album that saw Glenn as a true dedicated one-fret-per finger, four finger player. For some reason, with Defenders of the Faith, he started moving towards a 3-finger technique augmented with the use of his pinky. All in all, he had the best left hand in the business at the time. Lynch and Gilbert would follow. But at the time, Glenn was the man.
Yea,sweeping is difficult, I don't care what anybody says. I had a teacher that said sweep picking is simple,huh? I've been practicing off & on, for roughly 5-6 years, and I still don't have it mastered. I can down sweep, but up sweeps suck, very hard to do, correctly that is. I can do it sloppy, but cleanly, not yet.😁🎸🤘
Man what a killer tone! I remember over a decade ago you stepping in to help me with a collab n this tune - my crappy guitar sound and I could never play like this! Now it's time I go back and learn it right - from you!
Hey dude! Awesome job, whenever I need to learn a solo to a song I usually check if you have it. You’re usually always correct with these solos. May I request Van Halen’s Not Enough solo!!??!
I know you did this video for ever back. Good job. You play well and teach well. You know there are no videos on TH-cam doing Judas Preiest delivering the goods solo or grinder. Just saying. Keep up the fine work
Fantastic rendition, PDX - Q: should the “slide ups” reflect a full octave rise? (4th to 16th fret for example) or just hearing the slide is sufficient? Thanks. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! And that is a great question... In fact, I actually thought about saying something like "when you slide up to that bend at the 16th fret, it will sound better if you don't slide from too far down... and therefore, try to slide from just a few frets below." :)
That fast bit (4th section) has got me stumped. I've never had clean speed like that. I might practice it a couple weeks. It might just be out of reach for me. fuc!
So cool, I have always loved this tune. Back when metal was heavy instead of just what I call Agro rock. Like Krannium or some of their contemporaries who just want to be "bad" or scary or just shocking and offensive. Some of those jokers couldn't carry a tune in a wheelbarrow. Subscribed
While I'm here, I'd like to make a request. If there is any way you can do a lesson on Don Felder's Heavy Metal(Takin' A Ride), that would be incredible. It's from the Heavy Metal Movie soundtrack and one of the coolest songs I've ever heard. Well, thanks for your consideration.
And this is when your main guitar only having 21 frets is a bummer, what with those full step bends at 22. I can pull it off, but it's a right pain in the ass tuned to E standard.
oh.... shit... I screwed up. It's supposed to be the 21st fret for those bends! I better leave a note here for all to see. Thanks for inadvertently helping me realize that LOL :)
Funny thing about how so many classify this style of playing as being blues based. While it is loosely based on the pentatonic scale, you will never ever get this style, thinking you can do it with just the blues scale, never happen. If you don't find the flavor or mixing melodic harmonic, lots of passing tones etc, the blues will never get you even close. Both great styles, but like the Phrygian scale, you'll never get it trying to extract it from the minor, major, or blues scale.
Other than MAYBE a Dorian 6th (probably not even), the entire thing is pentatonic/natural minor with blue note. Definitely no melodic or harmonic minor.
IMPORTANT: Hey guys, I screwed up! In section one, those first 4 notes (the bends) should be at the 21st fret, NOT the 22nd fret. My apologies for any confusion caused. While I tabbed it wrong, I played it right.

Hi Dave, thank you for acknowledging this as I was starting to think I was losing my mind LOL. Excellent lesson either way :)
No biggy! : )
One of the tastiest hard rock solos of all time....it's gotta be top 10....it's gotta be!
A timeless classic..
I was 14 in 1985 when I started playing, so I learned during the Golden Age of gunslinger guitar playing and even after playing for over 30 years, this is one that I've never been able to get 100 pcnt right and you just kicked the schitt out of it.

There's a special place in heaven for you my friend! Really! This is a gift to the world of aspiring (mostly failed middle aged) bedroom guitarists.
Hail Mighty Satan!
Simlpy brilliant!...you are the internets best teacher! Thank you for all your efforts and time to give these to us out here...greatly appreciated!!
Always loved this song--I'd wait forever for it to some on MTV or the radio as a kid.
Thanks again! When you get this one right it makes you want to play it over and over.
Thanks Doug, it really is enjoyable to play :)

Best solo ever in rock history 😆
I've had this solo stuck in my brain since I first heard it. Great job breaking it down thx! More love to Tipton
Yeahh man! awesome song, solo and tutorial!

2007 14 that's so funny. Try 1974 14. why don't they make rock lics like this now days.
Hi Lucas, thanks for sharing your story! It really is one of the best metal songs ever written :)

Excellent lesson. Like how you broke it up into parts with tab. Someone requested for me to play it. I'm really close in a fast way thanks to you. Rock on
awesome going to start learning today. I really like that you play through, then slow play through, then part by part. and tabs!
The first time I saw Judas Priest I was shocked when I saw Glenn was in his mid forties. Damn the old guy can rock! (I was 22 at the time)
The Screaming for Vengeance tour was the best concert I ever saw out of 60-65 concerts I attended.
Well, shit. If you saw Vengeance, Glenn was 35.
That was AWESOME and SPOT ON!
It couldn't be any clearer. Great playing and instruction. Thanks.
Awesome lesson. You teach good! I'll be working on this one to finally get it (at least some of it) right.
Thank you so much for another great post and content Dave! since I have picked up the guitar again after not playing for many years and decided to master it this time, you have played a pivotal role in teaching me the last techniques that I have needed to learn. Thank you so much, you rock and keep it up!
Thanks, Andy, that means so much to me bro. Rock the weekend! :)
@@PDXguitarfreak Do you or have you thought of doing Skype lessons ever?
Exactly how I showed Glenn Tipton
:)
Excellent spot on tutorial! I always improvised the improvised section. And while I was close, your breakdown of it really helped me get it down note-for-note! You really should do the whole SFV album! Cuz EVERY track is a killer song! Thanks and cheers!
Man oh Man! That was so good! Every note! That is hard to achieve... Great lesson!
So glad you did this!!! Freaking awesome job as always!
Thanks Kelly! Glad you liked it too :)
You are the catalyst to get me off my ass and finish learning this.
I will never be able to play like you but I love watching you play and keeping the songs I grew up on alive. Keep it going my friend! 🤘🙂🤘
Thanks bro, I appreciate you watching too :) 🤘
Dude...you can play like pdx...just keep pushing at it and never, ever give up....you will get there!!!!!
@@eddiejr540 thanks Larry

Couldn’t ask for a better solo lesson. Outstanding cheers 🍻 🎸
Judas Freak! Freaking for Vengeance!
Yo HB! Rock on! :)
Thanks man, perfect. I've been doing this solo for a while without anyone perceivable noticing my flaws. But it sounds really great now.
Right on bro. I'm so glad you found it useful :)
Most badass solo ever
Genial bro, justo el sólo que andaba buscando. Muchas gracias, un abrazo desde Lima- Perú lml
Insane solo!
Great job! Love the slow down and tab visuals! Can you please do lessons for the verses and choruses too ie the whole song and the rhythm guitar parts for the solo? Thx and keep it up!
Beyond the realms of death next, the first solo is a masterpiece imo

Sections would sound like octave clefs
Section One - Treble clef 8va
Section Two - Treble clef
Section Three - Treble clef
Section Four - Treble clef
Section Five - Treble clef
Section Six - Treble clef
Section Seven - Treble clef
Section Eight - Treble clef
I keep coming back to this. I can barely hang on to the solo at 80 percent. Fuck I suck!
While I'm here, I'd like to make a request. If there is any way you can do a lesson on Don Felder's Heavy Metal(Takin' A Ride), that would be incredible. It's from the Heavy Metal Movie soundtrack and one of the coolest songs I've ever heard. Well, thanks for your consideration.
How do you get that awesome tone? What amp and effects are you using?
Thank you!
Bro so fucking clean
Great job as always!! Also could you do the solo from departure by trivium? Thanks in advance!
Thank you! I am not familiar with that solo, but I will take a listen :)
@@PDXguitarfreak Thanks Dave!

loved this Cover, let me know what you think of my cover's, Thanks I also left a like and subbed
Looking like, Allister Crowley...

I'm stuck at about 75% speed and it's so frustrating. Dead on lesson though.
