Judas Priest - Living After Midnight

How to play Judas Priest - Living After Midnight by JudasPriest on guitar

This is a great beginner rock tune to learn because it moves fast, feels driving, and gives you a strong, steady groove right away. You can focus on keeping the rhythm tight and confident while the song stays energetic and direct.

The chart starts with open A and then jumps to the harder Cm shape, so that switch is the main thing to lock in. Since A is open and Cm is a barre shape, you will want your fretting hand ready before each change so the transition does not slow you down.

Start by practicing A to Cm slowly until the move feels clean, then repeat the opening progression in time. Once that feels solid, bring it up toward the song tempo and keep your strums even, aiming for smooth changes instead of speed at first.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
