Chris to me is like Mike Campbell from the Heartbreakers, he's the guy behind the famous front person who adds all the cool textures that make the song special.
😂 this band is nothing like petty and the heartbreakers. Tom petty never had another vocalist killed and took his spotlight then preceded to suck ass. lol I grew up through the nirvana years and remember clearly how fuckin cheesy foo fighters were from the get-go. They haven’t gotten better.
I’m 40. Before RUclips these guitarists were like gods, and highly unattainable. It’s so good to see that they’re just the same as the man going about his daily work, albeit with exceptional musical talent. It makes the concept of learning and playing so much more accessible.
With Chris having the Ace Frehley sticker on his Les Paul Custom is proof how one guitar legend always influences the next. Ace has influenced so many people to pick up the guitar. Kiss as a band has influenced endless other bands and musicians, especially during the 70's & 80's
Used to work in radio and interviewed Chris a few times - one of the nicest guys to spend time with. Really down to earth and will enthusiastically talk bands and music for as long as you like. Great to see him here.
I remember seeing No Use for A Name at a Vans party where no one showed up. There were like 10 people sitting at tables and I was the only person standing in front of the stage watching. The guys were super cool and put on a great show for me.
I remember being at Oxegen Festival in Ireland in 2005. It was a heatwave, so I decided to wander into the tent for some shade. It was so empty I could easily walk to the front barrier, barely even two rows of people were in there. The band came on, I thought the frontman looked familiar. Lo and behold, it was Chris Shiflett, and the band was Jackson United.
The level of guitar love and brotherhood in this band is so amazing. Pat giving Chris pickups, Dave buying Chris his first Foo-era guitars. Kids going to guitar stores and no one's nice to you, so true Chris! And that Chris Kies knew the pickup details and maker, so damn good. Guitar geeks who know their stuff and have such cred in so many ways. Thanks for another great RigRun.
Chris is one of those guitar players who never gets mentioned in conversation of great guitar players but deserves to be on that list. He’s an amazing guitarist.
Been hoping this rundown would happen for 10 years! So happy to see it happen! Wish I could add more than one "like". Hope they get the chance for Dave, Pat & Nate in the near future. Thanks PG!
Fantastic rig rundown of the “Colour Guy”. Shifty is such a great guy. I also love the session he did with Fender Play. I love it when guys like Chris give back to the aspirational rock guitarist. A great sign of his character. Thank you!!
Yes! This is the one I've been waiting for! Chris is definitely one of my favorite guitarists. Also a big fan of NUFAN! Very happy to hear references to it here.
Why does everyone in the Foo’s seem like great guys? Great interview, love when the guys actually play everything. So many are just show and tell without much playing. Great job P.G.
@@lueysixty-six7300 Yeah, I'd have to agree with you. I think all of them started out as legit fans and just get it. Totally regular dude types with no egos. Starts from the top, too.
I think because Dave wanted that by design. Egos and tough personalities can be a cancer to any touring band and Dave would be very aware of that. Just my thought. They do all seem like great guys and I hope they are holding up with the loss.
Super cool rundown. So many of these end up sounding awkward as if the "star" can't wait to get out of there. This was a breath of fresh air, so casual. Big thumbs up to Shifty👍👍
Great run down. Way back in the No Use For A Name days we shared a studio and I use to lend my guitar gear out to them for studio sessions. I think he's covered on gear now, lol!
The explanation that Dave gives about the three guys and their tone/approach to guitar on the documentary when they were recording Wasting Light is probably the best. He says Chris is the skilled precision guy, Dave himself sort of up the middle rhythm/lead, and Pat is the power and noise that completes it. The fact that they are all so regular and “normal” about it all is probably why they are so successful. Great video!!
Great video, I love that Mr. Shiflett is still taking the big air movers out on the road with him. Nothing quite like the wall of sound that comes from big amps.
Chris is such a good dude. Every time I've met him he's so chill and willing to talk gear, and he seems like he's genuinely interested in what you have to say!
The unsung hero of the Foos. Dave of course gets all the spotlight, Taylor (RIP) to a lesser degree too, and deservedly so, but Chris is such a solid and professional guitarist. Watch any live video of theirs, while Dave is running around the stage with his huge showmanship and energy, Chris is in the background holding it together.
Easily one of my favorite rig rundowns ever. Been waiting for this one since the beginning. Thanks for doin it!! Love Chris and the boiz as if they were brothers of mine!!
Loved this rig rundown! Thanks for finally bringing one of the coolest rock guitar players of this generation! Now we could have a Foo Fighters episode with all the guys! 🤘 it's long overdue, c'mon fam!!!!
Every comment: Chris is a great guy and I saw No Use For a Name at a show where I was the only person. So it’s basically like I know him. What a great guy.
Wow! What an awesome episode and a lovely guy! Years ago I sold my Explorer to buy an acoustic… and regretted it ever since. Chris, you’ve inspired me to get one again! 😁
I got a chance to meet Chris and take a picture when he was doing his solo thing in Atlanta before the pandemic. Just an awesome guy! Great video PG, thank you!
SO good! Stoked to see that Chris finally got a Rig Rundown! Definitely one of my favorite players and who has a lot of diversity in an amazing rock tone!
Great you finally got Chris to the show 💪 He’s a great player, both when it comes to play rhythm and leads. And he even plays country 🤠 Definitely one of my fav guitar players and such a cool dude. Dzięki !
I remember asking for a Foos Rig Rundown for the longest time so I’m definitely happy to see this, I’ve always loved Chris’ playing and he was amazing when I saw them in 2018 in Toronto
I have two Shiflett Teles. A black and a gold one. For being Mexican made, the necks are the best feeling necks ever. I have modded the electronics and such. I played those two forever. I gotta dig them out. Great guitars.
Great interview with questions that I would have asked as well! Neck profile, pick ups etc. Letting Shifty talk without annoying interjections. We’ll done!!

Chris is such a great dude! This is one of the best Rig Rundowns EVER!
totally. i love how he actually plays the riffs through it. very good pace interview
don't ga y it all up Justin. We know, algo
The story about Dave buying Chris some guitars when he joined Foo Fighters is heart warming, Great video!
Now tell the story about what Dave did to Taylor
@@5urg3x what did he do?
@@toke7342 Taylor told Dave he didn’t want to tour as much anymore and the schedule was too much for him.
@@5urg3x lol you mean that Rolling Stone article that was BS?
@@bacoraforever Except it wasn’t.
Been waiting for this for years!! Now I'm hoping for Pat's someday!
Pat has the coolest guitars
@@scottwarner6357 He really does. I love everything he has!
I’m hoping for Dave Grohl’s someday!
I NEED one of those double cut les Paul's.
Definitely, maybe even Dave’s would be cool
Chris to me is like Mike Campbell from the Heartbreakers, he's the guy behind the famous front person who adds all the cool textures that make the song special.
That tone he has on that 59' sounds like ass. Seriously.
I agree. Dig it, man
😂 this band is nothing like petty and the heartbreakers. Tom petty never had another vocalist killed and took his spotlight then preceded to suck ass. lol I grew up through the nirvana years and remember clearly how fuckin cheesy foo fighters were from the get-go. They haven’t gotten better.
I’m 40. Before RUclips these guitarists were like gods, and highly unattainable. It’s so good to see that they’re just the same as the man going about his daily work, albeit with exceptional musical talent. It makes the concept of learning and playing so much more accessible.
NAH, They are Godz ! We suck.
The god thing is in your head.
God isnt even a god
With Chris having the Ace Frehley sticker on his Les Paul Custom is proof how one guitar legend always influences the next. Ace has influenced so many people to pick up the guitar. Kiss as a band has influenced endless other bands and musicians, especially during the 70's & 80's
And he's influenced a lot of the best. John 5, Chris, the brothers Hawkins. Big Frehley fans end up being nice guitar gods at their best.
Used to work in radio and interviewed Chris a few times - one of the nicest guys to spend time with. Really down to earth and will enthusiastically talk bands and music for as long as you like. Great to see him here.
What a genuine bloke, very down to earth. Exceptional guitar tones.
Brought a tear to my eye when he started playing the outro of Aurora :( rest in peace Taylor
I remember seeing No Use for A Name at a Vans party where no one showed up. There were like 10 people sitting at tables and I was the only person standing in front of the stage watching. The guys were super cool and put on a great show for me.
No Use gets more underrated by the year
Three month weekend guitar solo is my all time favourite
I remember being at Oxegen Festival in Ireland in 2005. It was a heatwave, so I decided to wander into the tent for some shade.

Guitar geeks who know their stuff and have such cred in so many ways. Thanks for another great RigRun.
I love that He and Pat seem to still love geeking out about gear. What a great episode!
It's 2023 and I just knew that Chris Shiflett is a gunner LOL 🤣
Once a Gunner, always a Gunner #COYG
Chris is one of those guitar players who never gets mentioned in conversation of great guitar players but deserves to be on that list. He’s an amazing guitarist.
The fact that this amazing man is still playing his Gibson guitars with broken headstocks is freaking awesome!
Totally agree, his take on vintage has made me rethink my views. Awesome guy.
Been hoping this rundown would happen for 10 years! So happy to see it happen! Wish I could add more than one "like". Hope they get the chance for Dave, Pat & Nate in the near future. Thanks PG!
I’ve been hoping for 11.
Fantastic rig rundown of the “Colour Guy”. Shifty is such a great guy. I also love the session he did with Fender Play. I love it when guys like Chris give back to the aspirational rock guitarist. A great sign of his character. Thank you!!
His voice reminds me of Pete Thorn for some reason. Awesome rig rundown... 🏆
Chris Shiflett is an absolute mensch; humble, confident, skilled, team player. Great to see him getting a Rundown!
Nice engman style
Yes! This is the one I've been waiting for! Chris is definitely one of my favorite guitarists. Also a big fan of NUFAN! Very happy to hear references to it here.
PG's Chris always seems to be so well informed during his rundown interviews! Never change Chris!!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸
Love how they are as cool as you would expect them to be. The foos have cemented themselves in legend.
Why does everyone in the Foo’s seem like great guys? Great interview, love when the guys actually play everything. So many are just show and tell without much playing. Great job P.G.
I think because every single one of them have long been in bands that are big...but they aren't the "star" members...so prima Donna BS never set in.
@@lueysixty-six7300 Yeah, I'd have to agree with you. I think all of them started out as legit fans and just get it. Totally regular dude types with no egos. Starts from the top, too.
I think because Dave wanted that by design. Egos and tough personalities can be a cancer to any touring band and Dave would be very aware of that. Just my thought. They do all seem like great guys and I hope they are holding up with the loss.
That probably explains the lack of danger in the music.
Chris is such a cool dude, great guitar player always enjoyed whatever he does
Probably one of the coolest Rig rundowns in a while. You can tell Chris is such a nice guy!
Super cool rundown. So many of these end up sounding awkward as if the "star" can't wait to get out of there. This was a breath of fresh air, so casual.
Big thumbs up to Shifty👍👍

Great video, I love that Mr. Shiflett is still taking the big air movers out on the road with him. Nothing quite like the wall of sound that comes from big amps.
Beautiful video, Chris is a great musician and mix incredible with the Foo´s. I hope they´re comming back soon ❤
Chris is such a good dude. Every time I've met him he's so chill and willing to talk gear, and he seems like he's genuinely interested in what you have to say!
I love how he explains the functions, textures and sounds of every pedal in a very expressive way with his words and body, amazing.
What a laid back cool dude! That’s why he got the gig and kept the gig.
One of my favorite guitar players, ever. Obviously loved his work in NUFAN, what a great dude and killer rig. Great video guys.
oh i love that he sampled Aurora, thats my favorite song :)
chris seems like a really cool dude :) :)
How can anybody not love Shifty? Such a cool guy!
Thank you for mentioning Tony and NUFAN. Been following Shifty’s career since those days. Dope rig rundown.
The unsung hero of the Foos. Dave of course gets all the spotlight, Taylor (RIP) to a lesser degree too, and deservedly so, but Chris is such a solid and professional guitarist. Watch any live video of theirs, while Dave is running around the stage with his huge showmanship and energy, Chris is in the background holding it together.
What a great rig rundown! Chris is so down to earth and just seems like a kul dude living the dream
That's how I feel about every member of the Foo's!
Half an hour just flew by… one of the entertaining rundown in a while 🙌🏻
I always love how Chris looks so relaxed on stage, dude effin rocks!
Such a killer player & a monster rig! 👑
Same with you!
Not a big fan of foo fighters music, but as soon as this guy started playing, you knew he's 100% feel. Awesome.
Never expected Chris to be such a chill talker and is such a great dude on screen! Love this Rig Rundown Thanks guys!
Love this. Chris is so awesome. Like many others have said, would love to see Pat, Dave and Nate’s rig rundown
Easily one of my favorite rig rundowns ever. Been waiting for this one since the beginning. Thanks for doin it!! Love Chris and the boiz as if they were brothers of mine!!
Loved this rig rundown! Thanks for finally bringing one of the coolest rock guitar players of this generation! Now we could have a Foo Fighters episode with all the guys! 🤘 it's long overdue, c'mon fam!!!!
Great rig rundown of a great and super versatile guitarist, who sounds like a great guy! Keep rocking shifty!
Chris is such a great guitar player. Great person in general with wide range of interests
Mr. Shiflett is such a cool down to earth gear geek. Love the episode, good job PG!
Grande Tío Guitar!
This was awesome. I love listening to and watching Shifty talk Foo guitars. It sure feels like they will continue. Also, he has great Vans on!
Every comment: Chris is a great guy and I saw No Use For a Name at a show where I was the only person. So it’s basically like I know him. What a great guy.
Y'all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here?
this is awesome. i hoped we'd get a FF rig rundown eventually. hearing Times Like These like that was awesome.
Wow! What an awesome episode and a lovely guy! Years ago I sold my Explorer to buy an acoustic… and regretted it ever since. Chris, you’ve inspired me to get one again! 😁
One of my favorites guitar players. Incredibly underrated
Hopefully Dave would come to the show one day🔥🔥 love Shiflett❤
I got a chance to meet Chris and take a picture when he was doing his solo thing in Atlanta before the pandemic. Just an awesome guy! Great video PG, thank you!
Rock on!
You’re such a liar.
Love him even more with the Arsenal pins!
SO good! Stoked to see that Chris finally got a Rig Rundown! Definitely one of my favorite players and who has a lot of diversity in an amazing rock tone!
One of my favorite rundowns ever, awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Chris is such a cool guy. Knows what he likes.
Chris is out here living the dream! And he sounds so goood doing it too!!
Chris Shifflet is a Gunner! Awesome!
Arsenal supporter, great guitarist, nice guy. Brilliant
Stoked he mentioned No Use For a Name. More people should know them. #RIPTonySly
Don’t go chasin rainbows!!
Chris’s humility is inspirational. Great job!
Y'all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here?
Love this fukn guy! Punk rock legend! Him and his brother, both!
LOVE THIS!!! My neighbors love when I crank up Rosie aka the Marshall DSL40 and play that opening run Schiflett does for Times Like These.
Nice to see a professional using actual tube amps and pedals.
I see a lot of bands live every year - I can't think of one guitarist in any of those bands that plays anything other than tube amps.
I got into playing guitar because of Chris. He always looks like he’s having so much fun and makes playing look effortless.
Great rig rundown, and you can tell Chris knows his rig by tweaking his stuff and not being a big deal, cool guy
The fact that Pat sought out those pickups for his 82 for his birthday. What a good friend.
I love me some rig rundowns. I never listened to foo fighters but listen to chris on his podcast and other shows on youtube.
Great you finally got Chris to the show 💪 He’s a great player, both when it comes to play rhythm and leads. And he even plays country 🤠 Definitely one of my fav guitar players and such a cool dude. Dzięki !
Great player and very fun guy as it seems .Foo Fighters are gems ,all of them !
Just took my son to see the Foo Fighters in Pelham Al. Almost 3 hour rain delay, then, one of the greatest shows have evervseen. Son is niw in th
Finally!!!! I’ve been waiting for this forever!!!!
Nothing but cool and laid back. Tone is great. Great RR.
Great guy and wonderful guitar artist!
Good guy! Nothing pretentious. God Bless you & the band Chris, after your loss…
In my heart he’ll allways remain “no use forma name” guitarist
I love how the guy is so casual and low key with his guitars, quite the opposite of a guitar nerd.
He, his playing and sound are pure rock'n roll
This is great hearing Chris talk like there's still a future for the Foos after the loss of Taylor ❤️❤️
Chris is just a freaking amazing guy
Chris’ voice! Sounds amazing
Finally! Been waiting for this! Such a kick ass rig!
Love it he started playing his solo tune West Coast Town on the Flying V
I remember asking for a Foos Rig Rundown for the longest time so I’m definitely happy to see this, I’ve always loved Chris’ playing and he was amazing when I saw them in 2018 in Toronto
Liar.
@@stanknugget How would I be a liar
@@andrewpappas9311 You never saw them.
@@stanknugget Yes I did, what exactly are you trying to accomplish by saying that I've never seen them?
@@andrewpappas9311 Just exposing a lying POS.
i have absolutely no idea what they were talking about half the time, as someone still learning, but i enjoyed all of that....
Now that sure is one Nice guy and Great guitarist ! Those VOX ,s sure got my mouth watering too ! Great Video !
That was great❤❤❤ wish Pat came put especially with all of the guitars he uses!!! The Tele Deluxe is to die for❤❤❤ i guess i found my custom shop!!!
I have two Shiflett Teles. A black and a gold one. For being Mexican made, the necks are the best feeling necks ever. I have modded the electronics and such. I played those two forever. I gotta dig them out. Great guitars.
I find that with my tom delonge strats... even though theyre mexican made, they just feel awesome, the build is great and the necks are fantastic
Great rundown, thanks Premier Guitar and Chris for participating himself!
Chris is a cool guy and a Foos staple. Lovely
Great interview with questions that I would have asked as well! Neck profile, pick ups etc. Letting Shifty talk without annoying interjections. We’ll done!!
I was so surprised when he mentioned Arsenal are his favourite team. Chris is a gooner!!
He's super chill. What a dude.
I'm sure glad I kept all my Explorers. such a comfortable guitar to play and they just sound great.
