Chris is a new sort of cool guitar hero, very accomplished and down to earth. I think he takes the best out of his rig and has a lot of versatility, nothing about flashy or just "looks", Chris sounds and plays wonderful and contributes to the Foo's songs awesome. Great musician and great guy.
Dude!! You are a ROCK STAR in the biggest rock band in the world right now!! Who gives a flying f*&^ what all the internet clowns and trolls say. I heard this saying a long time ago and live my life by it... "What people think or say about me is none of my business". You're such a cool and humble guy!!
Just saw them in concord last week. I was blown away it felt like we were in a small club and Dave was still 18 years old just absolutely incredible!!!!
I’m am SO happy he’s in my all-time favorite band. His love for shredding, playing different guitars, and also playing killer rhythm is why he will go down as one of my favorites. Nothing beats the story of his audition for Foo Fighters…showed up with a “junk” guitar and no pedals, sang back up vocals without being asked, and got the job with no questions asked a day later. Love you Shifty, see you next tour🤘
Chris Shiflett is one of my favorite guitar players, and now one of my favorite online personalities. Dude, don’t read the negative comments or buy into any of the bullshit. Keep doin’ you brotha’! Actually picked up a Strymon Deco because of Shifty and love it
One of my favorite episodes so far. Chris is down to earth and seems to be passionate about his gear and playing. Both gentlemen made this a pleasure to watch. Good on ya PG!
"shitty player with shitty tone" hahaha, Chris is such a cool guy. He makes it look easy and his playing is nuts! Gotta love it. Thanks for getting more and more of our heroes on this. It's fun to just listen to them having their brains picked about gear.
Great rundown, and by all appearances seems to be a humble, regular dude! Also, who the hell would diss on Chris' rig? To all the haters, when was the last time you went out of your parents' basement never mind on a world tour?
Got to work a Foo Fighters show last year as a stagehand and got to unpack his amps and eyeball his guitar collection. Glad to see it all broken down by the man himself 🤘
We watched the Foo Fighters close out the tour in Seattle last weekend. Shifty is the man and plays with one of the greatest Rock bands of all time!!!! I love what he brings to the table in all his endeavors. What a great player with a great attitude!
Best most honest Rig Rundown ever..I watched every one..I'm a former touring player.Mr Chris Schifett is my new favorite personality and player..God Bless Rock on Shifty🎉
I love that he just seems like one of us, a total gear nerd having a great time. Amazing tones here. Hopefully this positive comment helps outweigh at least one bad one when you read this Chris 😆
He is one of us... how enjoyable he gives all the useful info without even been asked. He is cool, direct and sincere even though he is obsessed with the comments :). One of the best rig rundowns
@@LeonCabal very much so. I actually asked Chris a few times about some pedal stuff, and he just replied right away with insightful tips on setting some stuff up. Most people in his position wouldn’t take the time or day. I always enjoy his rig rundowns!
Love this rundown! Caught the foo's show a few weeks ago in Minnesota and it was great! Been eyeing up a couple mockingbirds since I saw him on stage with his
Chris is such a nice, honest man and a great player! Not only that, the guy never stops evolving his craft, he deserves all the respect! Thanks for this video, folks! And long live the Foos!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
With most Rig Rundowns, there's usually a couple of distinct types ("these are my SGs and these are my offsets") with a couple of outliers. I love that all Chris' guitars are outliers. :)
How much do I love the “Dad” vibe he’s giving off in this video? That’s coming from someone that’s the same age, which probably explains it. I’m a big fan of his podcast. He just seems like a guy you could hang out with.
I love Chris ❤ And I’m here just to send some love and admiration to remember him that besides the haters, there are a bunch of people that you inspire to keep making music. I sure am one of those! Thanks Chris, Thanks Premier Guitar
LOVE this guy... Shifty is a breath of fresh air... can play, great tone, the ultimate sideman, been there, done that, sold the Tshirt .... great legs too by the way... shout out to Chris Kies and Premier guitar the world is a better place for what guys you do...
It would be amazing if you could catch Jane's Addiction on their current tour and get the rundown from Dave Navarro & Eric Avery. I saw them on their European leg in May and they sounded soooo good. DN's combo of PRS and Boss pedals is iconic x
Love this dude. Love his brother. Glad he's done so well for himself. From No Use for a Name, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes to one of the biggest bands on the planet. He deserves it all.
Chris really just comes off as a real regular guy. Guitarists wilkl love to shit on technique, but he plays what is needed and it works and clearly Foo have an amazing time together.
Chris Shiflett inspired me to pick up a guitar at a young age. In my honest opinion, really underrated. Give him a chance to shred, he’ll deliver the goods and then some.
I love Shifty. Such a genuine & lovely guy. Always giving back to us aspiring guitarists. Trolls are going to troll. Keep doin’ what you’re doin’ Chris.
gotta love a tele deluxe! edit: that means i want one edit 2: awesome to hear there's a new version coming! with p90s, rosewood fretboard and hopefully block inlays! i was looking to get a tele deluxe anyway as a do-it-all guitar so this might actually be the one...
I had the pleasure to meet Chris out of all places in the bathroom at one of his gigs in Seattle. I actually ran into three different times at the urinals 😆 He was so cool and kind.
Shifty is underrated. Playing great parts that fill out the Foo Fighters sound and make the songs extra special. Love seeing his playing showcased more and more the last two years on tour.
I tried (via Instagram) to get Chris hooked up with Mathias Jabs of Scorpions so they could do the (Shred with Shifty) show he does, where he interview's other guitarists... such a great show. I didn't realize the timing was shit, and he was about to go on a major tour... Either way, did my best... I'm sure if it's meant to be, it will be.
Damn Chris I’m sorry to hear about all the haters. You’re a huge part of my playing and simple rig design. I got to meet him back at the 105th Harley Davidson Anniversary and we talked about his Goldtop and White Les Paul custom during Taylor’s drum solo. I also believe it was the first show after Wembley and towards the end of the Mesa Boogie era of the Foos. I also had a Mesa Road King half stack for a while because of seeing my first Mesa rig live with you guys. Rock on and take it easy man. 🤙 -benjamin
Finally got to see them in Seattle after being a fan for so long. Chris is one of my favorite guitarist and did not disappoint! I love that he still uses the same pedals. I actually got a KTR because of him.
Oh Chris. Eff the haters! Many of us out here are on your side! You're a monster at your craft so stay true to yourself. Saw you and the guys in Denver a month agoish. Thank you for all you do! Love your You Tube channel! Keep kicking ass, dude!
Chris has some of the best tones and licks, but sometimes gets overshadowed by Dave and Pat’s playing. Really kool to see him show us his rig in detail! Definitely one of the best lead players around today, hands down! 🤘
Chris Shiflett is one of my Favorite Guitar players....just a bonus he's so Cool too..they say never met your Heros , I think Chris would be a safe bet..great guy. Digging the idea of a new signature fender...be watching for it.
Omg I love the variety in axes! Never woulda thought I’d see a Mockingbird make its way into a Foo’s show…what a great arsenal for the tour! And the super strats! ❤️
OMG Chris is a Fuckn Real Rock Star... And he doesn't Give a ShiT ... I love This guy... He is music / guitars first ...... he is the realist MF in the Business..
OMG. The 57 LP is the only guitar you’d need. Saw the Foos in Minneapolis end of July. Fantastic show and the Pretenders knocked it out of the park too. 🤟🏼
The last one with Shifty is still one of my absolute favourite Rundowns so this was a hell of a lot of fun to see him again with some new gear (That Mockingbird is fucking awesome, love it), still would’ve been fun to see Dave, Pat and/or Nate but I’m always down for more Chris since I love his playing as well
Dude. This was such a great rig rundown. Shifty has IMPECCABLE taste in guitars. And after watching this from the last one, his pedalboard is TIGHT 🤘🔥🤘
Also thanks for getting the close ups on those amp settings! There was a premiere rig rundown a while back where Tom Morello invited the camera guy over to get the settings on his LEGENDARY JCM 800 and they didn't go! People had been speculating on his tone for years. Its always super cool to dial in your own amp to those settings at home.
Chris seems like such a cool guy. His rundowns have been very entertaining. Also very cool that he takes some tonal inspiration from Mick Ronson who’s from my hometown.

That was the best disclaimer in Rig Rundown history
I agree. I love how down to earth Shifty has always been. He is a regular dude who happens to be a rockstar.
Won't stop the jealous trolls, but still hilarious. Shifty is awesome!
I think he was telling the truth. Saw him at Glastonbury and the sound was just a thrash mess.
@@David-jb6ev yea, great venue to judge sound. Just pristine
@@SpartanPridePodlmfaooooo
I love this guy. He and Rick Nielsen with the "I don't know how it works vibe" but they know how to play.
James Iha was the best rundown…he knows nothing. And I heard Rick Nielsen say he hadn’t tuned a guitar since ‘76.
watch the hives's rig rundown
Hearing that tour form here, and I love that he’s self-effacing, because you can tell mind-to-hand thoughts are going well in his playing….
Shiflett's Rig Rundowns are the absolute best of all time!
"Incel quality". NAILED IT!
Just a dude that loves guitars and playing. Love Chris and his show, not to mention his gear and tone. Great rig!
I don't understand how anyone could be mean to Chris. He's a great musician and human 😎
Holy shit Generator is my favorite Foo Fighters song. It does not get enough love
such a great song!
Just saw em and they played it, I was so stoked!
Shifty for President!! Hands down one of my absolute favorite rockers and always a complete joy to be around - thanks CS 🤘❤
I approve of this message. 👍
I agree
Chris is a new sort of cool guitar hero, very accomplished and down to earth. I think he takes the best out of his rig and has a lot of versatility, nothing about flashy or just "looks", Chris sounds and plays wonderful and contributes to the Foo's songs awesome. Great musician and great guy.
Dude!! You are a ROCK STAR in the biggest rock band in the world right now!! Who gives a flying f*&^ what all the internet clowns and trolls say. I heard this saying a long time ago and live my life by it... "What people think or say about me is none of my business". You're such a cool and humble guy!!
Words to live by!
Yeah people in the internet...😂
So true. Like what have any of these nobody jealous motherfuckers done besides toss off in their basements?
Just saw them in concord last week. I was blown away it felt like we were in a small club and Dave was still 18 years old just absolutely incredible!!!!
Non rockstar rockstar. Just a genuine dude. One of my favorite players. No notes on the rig!
I’m am SO happy he’s in my all-time favorite band. His love for shredding, playing different guitars, and also playing killer rhythm is why he will go down as one of my favorites.
Nothing beats the story of his audition for Foo Fighters…showed up with a “junk” guitar and no pedals, sang back up vocals without being asked, and got the job with no questions asked a day later.
Love you Shifty, see you next tour🤘
Somebody tell shifty that his first rig rundown was actually my favorite and I’ve watched it a few times already!
The sticker on the 335 says "Chris". Okay it actually says "Kurisu" which is the Japanese Chris.
Chris Shiflett is one of my favorite guitar players, and now one of my favorite online personalities. Dude, don’t read the negative comments or buy into any of the bullshit. Keep doin’ you brotha’! Actually picked up a Strymon Deco because of Shifty and love it
Chris Shiflett coordinating his pink shorts with his pink shred machine partscaster was a nice (and certainly intentional) touch. Bravo Shifty!
Chris is such a humble and honest guy, love his videos and interviews!
One of my favorite episodes so far. Chris is down to earth and seems to be passionate about his gear and playing. Both gentlemen made this a pleasure to watch. Good on ya PG!
We love you all Chris! Just stay being you.
"shitty player with shitty tone" hahaha, Chris is such a cool guy. He makes it look easy and his playing is nuts! Gotta love it. Thanks for getting more and more of our heroes on this. It's fun to just listen to them having their brains picked about gear.
Chris definitely the best rig rundown guitarist that premier guitar could ever ask for 😂. He's a fan of guitars and rigs
Great rundown, and by all appearances seems to be a humble, regular dude! Also, who the hell would diss on Chris' rig? To all the haters, when was the last time you went out of your parents' basement never mind on a world tour?
Thank you, Chris for being the most relatable guitar player
Got to work a Foo Fighters show last year as a stagehand and got to unpack his amps and eyeball his guitar collection. Glad to see it all broken down by the man himself 🤘
We watched the Foo Fighters close out the tour in Seattle last weekend. Shifty is the man and plays with one of the greatest Rock bands of all time!!!! I love what he brings to the table in all his endeavors. What a great player with a great attitude!
He's underrated. Great guy and great musician.
I love Chris. He’s just here to have fun and you can tell how much joy guitar brings him. So cool and down to earth
I really loved this episode. Chris seems so humble about his playing but man he plays so clean and the tone is huge. Love you Chris thanks for this
That’s 335 sounds incredible
Best most honest Rig Rundown ever..I watched every one..I'm a former touring player.Mr Chris Schifett is my new favorite personality and player..God Bless Rock on Shifty🎉
Chris is the best !! Been following him since the No Use for A Name days ! Still killing it in the Foos !!
Came to the comments to say the same. I loved No Use! RIP Tony!
Man Shifflett is so cool.
And I love that tele with P90s.
And those amps!
Another excellent rig rundown interview with Chris. I really enjoyed the last one y’all did with him. Always entertaining as hell. More please!
Chris is so kind he has done this a few times
His acknowledgement of Randy all the time is why he’s one of my favourite guitarists, that lil bit of crazy train at 14:35!
I love that he just seems like one of us, a total gear nerd having a great time. Amazing tones here. Hopefully this positive comment helps outweigh at least one bad one when you read this Chris 😆
As soon as I heard Generator, I knew this would be THE one.
Def cool AF to find out later y'all were in town. It was a killer show!! Cincinnasty represents!! Thanks PG for another great RR
Never realized what a nice, humble dude Chris is. Great guitarist as well, makes me like the Foo Fighters even more!
Always great to hear from Shifty! Most down-to-earth, humble guy willing to share his experiences. Thank you Premier Guitar!!
He is one of us... how enjoyable he gives all the useful info without even been asked. He is cool, direct and sincere even though he is obsessed with the comments :). One of the best rig rundowns

Love everything about this…and leading off the video with Generator…perfect!
With most Rig Rundowns, there's usually a couple of distinct types ("these are my SGs and these are my offsets") with a couple of outliers. I love that all Chris' guitars are outliers. :)
The humbuckers in that second Tele sounded foolishly organic. Love it
The sticker on the black Gibson says "Chris." Nice job, Shifty! Your style is what makes the podcast great, too.
This was a great opportunity to learn some of Chris' parts in their songs! Sometimes it's hard to tell in those crowded mixes.
How much do I love the “Dad” vibe he’s giving off in this video? That’s coming from someone that’s the same age, which probably explains it. I’m a big fan of his podcast. He just seems like a guy you could hang out with.

F the haters. Sounds great and you are having fun. Awesome.

Rock on!
Great legs?
@@johnsmith-bk4ps Shifty's legs hahaha
One of my favorite guitar players ever. Grew up listening to No Use For a Name and I always loved what he brought to the band. Awesome interview.
It would be amazing if you could catch Jane's Addiction on their current tour and get the rundown from Dave Navarro & Eric Avery. I saw them on their European leg in May and they sounded soooo good. DN's combo of PRS and Boss pedals is iconic x

That intro guitar bit… That’s such a clean switch of effect bank… right on beat 2… superb !
gotta love a tele deluxe! edit: that means i want one edit 2: awesome to hear there's a new version coming! with p90s, rosewood fretboard and hopefully block inlays! i was looking to get a tele deluxe anyway as a do-it-all guitar so this might actually be the one...
So glad we got to learn about thst gorgeous BC Rich! Thanks PG and Shifty!
Chris is one of the few guitar players I follow that is open about not knowing how to do or play everything. such a cool dude
I had the pleasure to meet Chris out of all places in the bathroom at one of his gigs in Seattle. I actually ran into three different times at the urinals 😆 He was so cool and kind.
Well done on this Rundown. Look forward to the next one.
Shifty is underrated. Playing great parts that fill out the Foo Fighters sound and make the songs extra special. Love seeing his playing showcased more and more the last two years on tour.
Tryna learn Walk with the band. That little solo demo of what chord positions he’s playing it in was MONEY. Thanks 😅
Love Shifty, met him many times at Dead Peasants shows. Super nice, approachable guy. Just as cool as he seems here.
I tried (via Instagram) to get Chris hooked up with Mathias Jabs of Scorpions so they could do the (Shred with Shifty) show he does, where he interview's other guitarists... such a great show. I didn't realize the timing was shit, and he was about to go on a major tour... Either way, did my best... I'm sure if it's meant to be, it will be.
Yes! Can't wait for the release of the American standard versions of this tele! Sherwood green all the way.
Shifty seems like a cool dude to grab a beer with.
Damn Chris I’m sorry to hear about all the haters. You’re a huge part of my playing and simple rig design. I got to meet him back at the 105th Harley Davidson Anniversary and we talked about his Goldtop and White Les Paul custom during Taylor’s drum solo.

Rock on and take it easy man. 🤙 -benjamin
Can’t get over that no matter what guitar Chris used, great tone. Sounds killer! Gotta love those Friedman amps…
I was blown away by this guy's live tone on the Foo's tour, it's really found it's way into my rig
Over the past few years Chris has been one of my favorite guitarists.
Chris, my man, don’t let the internet get you down! Keep being your badass self and I’ll see you and your bros in Connecticut next month 🤘
Gotta love that guy. Rockin' his signature Tele in gold for 5 years now and I'm still in love with it, can't wait to see his new Tele with the P90's🤘🏻
Finally got to see them in Seattle after being a fan for so long. Chris is one of my favorite guitarist and did not disappoint! I love that he still uses the same pedals. I actually got a KTR because of him.
Oh Chris. Eff the haters! Many of us out here are on your side! You're a monster at your craft so stay true to yourself. Saw you and the guys in Denver a month agoish. Thank you for all you do! Love your You Tube channel! Keep kicking ass, dude!
One of the best rig rundowns, Chris is such a humble down to earth guy. A hell of a guitar player as well.
Thanks for sharing the video. ✌🏻
I remember seeing that black 335 in the Best of You video as a kid and wondering what that sticker was, good to finally get some closure!
NUFAN Shifty inspired me, Foo Shifty keeps me Sane. Thank you Chris, for many years of great guitar riffs.
Chris has some of the best tones and licks, but sometimes gets overshadowed by Dave and Pat’s playing. Really kool to see him show us his rig in detail! Definitely one of the best lead players around today, hands down! 🤘
Chris Shiflett is one of my Favorite Guitar players....just a bonus he's so Cool too..they say never met your Heros , I think Chris would be a safe bet..great guy. Digging the idea of a new signature fender...be watching for it.
I've watched a lot of these and this may have been the most enjoyable. Awesome guitar player and an awesome dude!
Starting At 10:23 he's 100% spot on
Omg I love the variety in axes! Never woulda thought I’d see a Mockingbird make its way into a Foo’s show…what a great arsenal for the tour! And the super strats! ❤️
OMG Chris is a Fuckn Real Rock Star... And he doesn't Give a ShiT ... I love This guy... He is music / guitars first ...... he is the realist MF in the Business..
Hey I know that Guy! LOL, I love seeing Chris on a Rig Rundown!!!! I was just listening to his podcast
Chris is a very humble and down to earth fella. Love that about him!👍👏
I like Chris. He is laid back, down to earth, and has great equipment. Especially cool to see a Mockingbird in his arsenal 🤘
OMG. The 57 LP is the only guitar you’d need. Saw the Foos in Minneapolis end of July. Fantastic show and the Pretenders knocked it out of the park too. 🤟🏼
I've always loved his rigs. Not a huge Foos guy but I love this man's vibe
The last one with Shifty is still one of my absolute favourite Rundowns so this was a hell of a lot of fun to see him again with some new gear (That Mockingbird is fucking awesome, love it), still would’ve been fun to see Dave, Pat and/or Nate but I’m always down for more Chris since I love his playing as well
Chris is so cool, laughs at himself and laughs with people that is with him.
Dude. This was such a great rig rundown. Shifty has IMPECCABLE taste in guitars. And after watching this from the last one, his pedalboard is TIGHT 🤘🔥🤘
Also thanks for getting the close ups on those amp settings! There was a premiere rig rundown a while back where Tom Morello invited the camera guy over to get the settings on his LEGENDARY JCM 800 and they didn't go! People had been speculating on his tone for years. Its always super cool to dial in your own amp to those settings at home.
Chris seems like such a cool guy. His rundowns have been very entertaining. Also very cool that he takes some tonal inspiration from Mick Ronson who’s from my hometown.
Chris you're a great player and a great guy. Of course you will ignore the losers and haters. Rock on bud.
