Chris Shiflett on His First "Real" Guitar

Check out this clip from the latest episode where Chris Shiflett discusses his first electric guitar, a fateful acquisition he made in high school, and an incredibly thoughtful gift from Pat Smear.

In the latest episode of Shred with Shifty, we shine a light on a few incredible listeners who tackled the "Limelight" solo and one especially tuned-in player who hit one of Shifty's solos. We also air unreleased footage from Alex Lifeson, Nile Rodgers, Rivers Cuomo, and Lindsay Ell.

This four-in-one effects box is a one-stop shop for Frusciante fans, but it’s also loaded with classic-rock swagger.

Great, lively preamp sounds. Combines two modulation flavors with big personalities. One-stop shop for classic-rock tones. Good value.

Big. Preamp can’t be disengaged. At some settings, flanger effect leaves a little to be desired.
