Such an underrated guitarist, love his work in the Foo Fighters
@3:25 In France, they call it a Royale pickup with cheese.
Jason Jokerst nice reply!!!!
You're a legend
Is there a foo fighers rid rundown? And why not?
There's not but there should be...no excuse for that one Premier Guitar...we're getting deep into 2017....
Chris is the man... nice voice I can listen to this guy all day long
Love him as a person! He’s so down to earth and also a rockstar!
I saw the Foo Fighters last month and Chris played almost the entire show on a Fender Signature model with P-90 pickups, only switching for a Gibson ES-335 for dropped D tuned songs.
Actually they are NOT like Humbuckers, they sound much rawer, much less refined.
His use of P-90's (or as Fender calls them "Black Dove" pickups) is probably to get his sound different from what Pat and Dave are doing on stage.
RastaSaiyaman Less refined? I’m not so sure. P90s are single coil pickups, which offer much better more separation than humbuckers.
I'd love to see a rig rundown for these guys
And that new combo is the MIM Chris Shiflett parts Telecaster.... with all the goodies Chris likes.... Strat headstock 12" radius with rosewood on Maple and Jumbo frets, Tele body, with Strat cutaway on the back, and basic Gibson setup with 4 controls and a 3 way switch tied in to a couple of Humbuckers. Bought one today in Shoreline Gold, in the hard case... a Telecaster DeLuxe signed Chris Shiflett signature model. Great for playing chords, my pickups sound a little scooped out in the middle?
I always felt that the tele bridge pickup was a single coil anomaly because it does have a big sound, and great with distortion. I use my tele for Foo Fighters songs all the time and thought it was perfect, but Chris is the expert which I certainly am not.
What the!? Uncle Tupelo...Son Volt.... no way! Awesome..... i thought they were in the realm of forgotten.I love me some Wilco, my favorite band.
Does Chris not have arm hair? So smooth.
Tell Chris to try brass saddles in that walnut Tele...
This video must be old because I think his signature tele has already been announced :P
the 62 surf green tele is so awesome
0:50 is that a bread clip being used as a strap lock??!
Because that is AWESOME!
I LOVE that first Tele!!!
Hey mate, if you want to try one check out the tele 62 custom japanese made, it's incredible how much sound you get for the price. Better than some american ones.
Double binding beauty...
cheers
thanks a lot!! i recently got a tele n the bridge pickup is kinda dry i think ill go ahead n put that in n see if it works!!
John 5 has teles with humbuckers....
I love telecasters and Chris too! :)
What does he mean when he says his single coil is "too hot"?
Means High Output
Mic In the face, love Chris
Wouldve liked to seen some of the guitars there in the fender room. Oh well.
2:05 Wait, is he referring to the Chris Shifflett Sig? That's not like a big secret anymore...
Awesome!
when was this recorded??? just here he didn't speak about the hiatus that was anounced amonth ago
what a cool guy
If yall just rig rundown the foos, I can die happy
One of you need to send me a video of a telecast playback.
Yes please.. They should really do it.
When Chris plays other artists covers does he have to pay a fee to be able to do that? I don't have any idea how that end works so clue me in.
rig rundown with the foo fighters??
Can't find this guitar anywhere. Do they really still produce it?
what is the name of the seymour duncan pickup he is talking about at 3:52?? can anyone help?? :D
Dave has been in and out of Qotsa for years!
Not really. Basically just drums on records. Not sure where the hell you're getting your info.
I get what he's saying- the Foo has a huge sound and they know how to achieve it, but if you can't make a stock vintage Tele rock then there's something wrong with you. They can hang with any rock guitar.
I understand what u mean but there’s a massive difference between the sound of a single coil and a humbucker produces. You really need to listen and feel out which pickups work for which songs or which band. Which one works in your hands even. I’ve known some players that sounded good playing through humbuckers but strap a tele with single coils on em and it’s lights out.
@@patrickolivier1 I have. God bless
FINALLY!
:15
You also forgot his other band, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.
last chance blueprint Chris' older brother Scott plays in Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
Chris is playing @ Me First, however due to a lack of time his brother Scott plays during the live shows. On the albums it's Chris (you can see him in the video of "Ruin Jonny's bar mitzvah". Chris also has a tattoo on his lip saying "Gimme Gimme". More on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Shiflett
where is the warehouse?
mm. good shout.
hes a cool guy
Do one for Nate! I beg you!
Gotta love Chris.
They didn't break up. They're just taking a break because they've been non-stop for a while.
sick ass guitar
So he got it for free ?
foo fighters are taking a break at the minute so that might be slightly difficult
on hiatus
What ever man. They'll be back if you wanna believe it or not....
how the fuck did you know it was free for the green one? did he say it was free? and he did buy the brown one.
AAAH I GOT IT, HE REMINDS ME OF JOSEPH GORDEN LEVITT
He kinda looks like joseph gordon levitt. except way cooler.
the guy plays with the foo fighters (i.e. makes good money) and texts Fender asking for a free guitar !?!
He didn't say he asked Fender for a free guitar. When you're in a massive rock band, you might see things differently. His band's profile means it's a no brainer for Fender to give him stuff. A couple of grand lost giving Chris Shiflett a free guitar would be more than made up by the commercial value of having Fenders visibly in the hands of such a high profile player. When you're in a big band like that, your patronage has a tangible commercial value, that the likes of you or I don't have.
Well no, he actually gets paid by Fender to promote the brand. He has a contract (thats why he has his own guitar with them). He doesnt get it for free bc he asked simply asked for it, he gets supplied with guitars for marketing purposes. It is in Fender's interest to give musicians instruments to play so they can be seen by the public and be drawn into buying their products.
Trust me, it's not free... but I can assure you, Fender sells a lot of Chris Shiflett Tele versions, as does John 5 the Squire custom versions, every single year. The unique feature about this Tele is 2 fold, rosewood fretboard, and 12" radius on a Strat melody note style headstock.. Chris gets working instruments, they are tools to him... he needs 3 of each, one for recording and touring in the USA, one for touring in England, and one for touring in Australia and NZ. Eventually, they get donated to Rock and Roll memorabilia collectors and artists who put the stuff on historical display.
Why not just buy the guitar to support the shop? You’re doing ok with money
HUMBUCKER TELE!!!!!!
WOOOHOOOOOOOO
Foam green? Surf...
He only shops for guitars in New York..DAMN GOOD THINK HE DOSENT SHOP FOR A 32 OUNCE SODA..
me first and the gimme gimmes guitarist
Dv
no more foo fighters, All instruments are stored in a warehouse.
the foos
Thumbs up for No Use for a Name
He kicked ass in no use for a name .
uh me first and the gimme gimmes?
uh yeh..no. No they didn't lol
The bridge on that tele is one of the worst ever made. I can't believe someone of that caliber approves of such nonsense.
Shut up
