Welcome to my latest lesson which focuses on the guitar playing of Glenn Tipton from Judas Priest!
Along with KK Downing, Glenn formed the 2 guitar attack which provided the meat and the crunch for Priest's music.
In contrast to Downing, Tipton's solos tend to feature a more melodic, legato sound, making use of harmonic minor scales, Aeolian mode, pentatonic scales and techniques such as sweep-picking arpeggios, legato picking, tremolo/alternate picking, hammer-ons and pull-offs, and the solos often showcase both accuracy and aggression. - Wikipedia
Glenn has a very recognisable playing style and he often inserts semi pinch harmonics into his riffs as well.
This lesson will work on:
- Alternate picking
- Palm muting
- Down strokes
- Phrasing
- Legato
- Pinch harmonics
So, if you want to feel some British Steel, grab your guitar and get some!
