I've seen Keith twice live. The first time was just him by himself on acoustic guitar and he ripped the place up. The second time was with his second band line up. Phenomenal. Keith is one of the most versatile guitar players on the planet. From rock to country he can do it all and add in his amazing vocals and he's the total package. His playing is so underrated in my opinion. He could sit in with any band and crush it. The man is talented as hell.
Great chat between two music/guitar 'gods', who sell out stadiums worldwide, but remain completely humble and chill. Not even a skerrick of egotistical nonsense between them. Loved it.
Man you sure hit the nail on the head I couldn’t have said it any better I can watch this again and again and again to great guitar players I’ve never seen either one of them I’d love to but wow there was no ego stroking know over the top I got to talk over you loved it loved it
Saw Keith at legendary Red Rocks on his Light the Fuse tour. Little Big Town was the opening act. It was an epic concert...he came into the crowd twice, the 2nd time @ 20 ft away from us. When he finished that mini-set he took his guitar off his shoulder, signed it & gave it to a young lady. After KU started back to the stage she came towards us. Tears streaming down her face, she was totally stunned by what just happened. That's the impact Keith's kindness had on her. That's who Keith Urban is.
Keith Urban really had a huge impact on my guitar playing as soon as I heard him for the first time. I was big into prog rock etc prior to that. He really broadened my taste and my understanding of the instrument. 🤘
Me and half my band git to sit in at Tootsies back in 83’/84’. We recorded a record elsewhere but had the records pressed in Nashville. It was a grand treat. They got our lead singer, Linda, to sit in with the house a band at a larger place I think called the stockyard. It’s no longer there. My memory may be failing. Been to Nashville lots. Love it.
Wow, the stockyard, I hadn’t thought about that place for a long time. I went to Nashville through the mid to late 80s many times. It was a beautiful place.
I used to listen to a bit of country when I was growing up and Keith has always been one of my favourites, great musician and a hell of a guitarist as well. Dude can absolutely rip and I still love it
That was Awesome Chris!! I mean all your videos are, but really enjoyed the interaction you and Keith had tonight...damn great and informative, thank you very much .
Keith and Shifty are awesome people who happen to have the same passion for guitar and playing that I do and many many others out there as well. I was always a rock oriented guitarist but joined up with a country band in my mid twenties and that changed my world. That was crazy times in the 80s, soon I was playing in two bands one country the other hard rock and sometimes three bands on occasion an original band too. That all happened while I was stationed at Sembach air base in Germany. I was there for four years and came back to the states landed in San Bernardino California at Norton Air Force base. Got into an Iron Maiden tribute band that didn’t last very long but was a lot of fun. Happy holidays…
Thanks for another killer guest/conversation, Chris! I really dig your show. Great content and it’s so fun to watch a couple great guitar players talk shop. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for answering my question from the Foo's video which I was too afraid to ask, "where can I get that bad boy Tele Delux" Gonna have to ask Santa aka The Boss for a bigger stocking.... Thank you Lads, loving the content!
I’ve never listened to Keith’s stuff. But the episode was brilliant. This has got to be one of the best series on UA-cam. I suppose I should go and check some of Keith’s music out now.
Mark Knopfler had a huge influence on Nashville in the late ‘70’s and ‘80’s. Everybody started picking up his stuff back then. Even Waylon loved the first Dire Straits records!!!🎸
Mark knopfler sings a lot like Dylan IMHO. Great song writer! Top interview. Keith has a great mix of flavours with his guitar playing and the reason I started looking more at country players
Great episode. Dave Grohl is also very talented when it comes to singing and playing complicated riffs at the same time. All My Life is SO hard to sing and play at the same time. So is the pre-chorus to Everlong.
That Rick Vito road case, lurking in the background, has to be a Dumble, right? Keith is such an extraordinarily gifted artist; nobody has played more solos that have moved me as much. And I will be forever grateful to Keith for turning me onto Tom Bukovac. There was an EPK (electronic press kit) for either Golden Road or Be Here Now where he mentions both Buk and Dann Huff as being his two favorite guitarists. The guitars on those early Keith albums sent me on a quest to know everything about who were playing them and it lead me to that video, which turned me onto Buk, which THEN led me to seek out loads of Contemporary Christian music and modern country records, just so I could hear more. If my entire guitar resources consisted only of Tom and Keith, I would be good. Tom has talked about making an old school record where everyone just tunes to the piano and then everyone records together, live to tape, and that has “Old School Keith Urban Record” written all over it. Thanks, Chris, for this interview.
if there are ‘defining moments’ in a guitarists journey, seeing Keith’s Stupid Boy live with the sunburst Jr was perhaps #1 on the short list. i immediately sold my Custom Shop gold-top and moved to a Jr/Sp w/ P90 and haven’t looked back once. it’s my favorite solo of all time. enough movement to hook and enough space to savor.
Me too. I’ve had a Randy Rhoads LP Custom for years then after KU one day found myself at Gibson Garage and picked up a gold top 59 standard reissue with P90s and now, need to sell my LPC! 😂
Thanks for this great interview. That chicken-pickin' metal solo story is hilarious. I'm from NZ and didn't know much about Keith, but there's a big legacy of country inspired rock here in Aus and NZ. Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes especially. Ian Moss great at those step and a half bends! Check out the main riff from Forever Now.
"I play it the way I would sing it"...."a lot of that stuff comes from Gilmour". A.k.a., he's thinking melodically when he soloes, not just playing riffs. And that's why it sounds so good.
Anybody know something about the pattern/design for the tattoo on his lower right arm? I really like it. I mean it could be some really old NZ/aussie style or something like that.
Mega talented player/singers like Keith don't need to practice. Either ya got it, or ya don't. It's nothingthat can be taught. Ya born with it. For them it's as easy as walking and chewing gum at the same time.
You could tell how uncomfortable keith was about the exact solo fingering when he couldn't remember it..he's like, yeah its like that little river band thing, ya know...
These guys never mention Jerry Donahue one of the greatest Tele players. Pete Anderson is pretty good but then Albert Lee is histories greatest. I have worked with all three for years and most fans and even guitarists out there are tone deaf, sorry but a fact. I really like Keith in a general sense where he does everything well but his timing and feel on guitar is white bread. Depending on effects like a crutch (I hate that crap). No offense as he is technically advanced but does not do much for me. God bless him, his wife is hot (my son was her counter in a movie) and Merry Christmas...

yeah they are both just having fun and talking about making music.. so organic
Guitar Gods? You need to get out more...

Great interview. Keith is one of the most versatile players going these days for sure
two of my favourite guitarist. Not just for their playing, but because they're down to earth blokes. Learnt lots from Chris and Kieth.
Keith Urban really had a huge impact on my guitar playing as soon as I heard him for the first time. I was big into prog rock etc prior to that. He really broadened my taste and my understanding of the instrument. 🤘
He might be the most underrated guitarist on the planet, and humble as hell too... I can listen to him play and sing all day.

Keith is simply amazing... you need to do an interview with Uncle Larry, that dude is just so laid back and crazy good
I used to listen to a bit of country when I was growing up and Keith has always been one of my favourites, great musician and a hell of a guitarist as well. Dude can absolutely rip and I still love it
Keith is a guitar god! My all time favorite singer/guitarist! 👍🏾
That was Awesome Chris!! I mean all your videos are, but really enjoyed the interaction you and Keith had tonight...damn great and informative, thank you very much .
Chris looking fly with his new haircut!
Keith is such a cool dude. It's always fun to hear him talk guitar.
Amazing interview! Absolute love for Chris and Keith, top notch guitar players!!! Greetings from Italy 🤌🏻
Amazing interview! Loved every bit! Thanks, Chris and Keith!!!
Killer show!🤘🏽😎 Keith is a great guitarist! Cool dude as well! Love the show Shifty👍🏽
Keith and Shifty are awesome people who happen to have the same passion for guitar and playing that I do and many many others out there as well.

I love Pilot!!!....I'm from Brisbane also, and January was a massive hit in the mid 70s
What a great , fun, laid back, insightful interview - thanks Keith, and thanks Chris! What a killer channel, love it!
I’ve never listened to Keith’s stuff. But the episode was brilliant. This has got to be one of the best series on UA-cam. I suppose I should go and check some of Keith’s music out now.
Not a big fan of his or Brad Paisley's music but they rip
Mark Knopfler had a huge influence on Nashville in the late ‘70’s and ‘80’s. Everybody started picking up his stuff back then. Even Waylon loved the first Dire Straits records!!!🎸
Awesome chat!! Keith is a legend and I'm not sure if he knows it! What a cool dude. 😎 Nice job brother 👏 🍻
Chris should interview Mark Knopfler soon.
Was thinking the EXACT same thing.
I would instantly click on that!
What a blisteringly great interview!!!
Great interview! Absolutely love Keith and one of the most talented guitarists
Mark knopfler sings a lot like Dylan IMHO. Great song writer! Top interview. Keith has a great mix of flavours with his guitar playing and the reason I started looking more at country players
He is such a humble and nice guy
Hey brother, Good to see you on this show. Enjoyed the interview. I know that we lost some guitars back in the Nashville flood. .
Great episode. Dave Grohl is also very talented when it comes to singing and playing complicated riffs at the same time. All My Life is SO hard to sing and play at the same time. So is the pre-chorus to Everlong.
Thank you Dan Huff for getting Keith to really play again hahaha I was wondering where the guitar was on his latest few records.
Shifty should have Dann on!
That Rick Vito road case, lurking in the background, has to be a Dumble, right? Keith is such an extraordinarily gifted artist; nobody has played more solos that have moved me as much. And I will be forever grateful to Keith for turning me onto Tom Bukovac.

G'day. Congrats on the new geetar Shifty. Man Keith is a killer player... check out his playing with John Butler at the Australian music awards show.
Now these two are incredible guitarists
Thanks for this great interview. That chicken-pickin' metal solo story is hilarious. I'm from NZ and didn't know much about Keith, but there's a big legacy of country inspired rock here in Aus and NZ. Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes especially.

Fantastic chat with Keith.
This was a fantastic discussion.
Great interview!!
Great interview! Could you please share the link of that Tom Bukovac video you mentioned?
I think it was a Dan Huff video of him explaining his greatest session work?
Don't come much cooler than Mr Urban
I'm a bassist and when using a pick, Dunlop nylon 0.73, hold the pointy end and use the grip end to get a rasp tone. Try it.
David Briggs was the guy who played the LRB solo. He's still kicking around in Melbourne.
I see a music city bridge. Uncle larry, good job dude
Chris, great stuff as always, get Buk on the show!!
Keith come play in France please 🍻❤️
Chris , Any chance you can get Tom Sholtz ? That we be amazing!
Got to love P90's. I've two custom tele's and a strat loaded with single coil size P90's from JJ's pickups. Sounds massive.
Tube ass Urban & Shifty 💥🤘
Love your show!
hearing chris talking about URBNSURF in melbourne is so nuts, thats about 5 minutes from my house
What amp is Keith using in this video? I don't have time to watch it right now.
Thousand Miles From Nowhere was fab.
0:08 fellas I am so here for this!!!!
as if the first ep of season 2 could not be topped
What a cool wife, story!
"I play it the way I would sing it"...."a lot of that stuff comes from Gilmour". A.k.a., he's thinking melodically when he soloes, not just playing riffs. And that's why it sounds so good.
Pete Anderson for future Shred With Shifty episode. 🤞
Does anyone know the tune with the Pete Anderson solo that Keith and Chris both play?
@ Guitars, Cadillacs.
Help me understand the point of tuning to Eb and capoing 1?
The strings are more flexible in the same tuning
@@terryeaster1exactly. It removes some of that tension without having to change to lighter string gauges.
@darrenmeza7166 yep, I'm a guy that loves heavy strings. The G on my strat is a wound 22G
The song is standard drop D capo 1. I believe he was mentioning the key. But the guitar is standard capo 1 on the record and live
Anybody know something about the pattern/design for the tattoo on his lower right arm? I really like it. I mean it could be some really old NZ/aussie style or something like that.
I learned to surf in Arizona at Big Surf. They later banned surfboards because too many people were taking a board to the head. Big plus no sharks.
Keith says something like "lucky snappers" at 30:30. What is that?
You need to get Jimmy Olander for inventive outside playing tele work. That would be an amazing interview for sure.
I would love to see an album with Keith and Brad Paisley showcasing their guitar skills- the two baddest country guitarists imo
So interesting to hear the way he holds a pick. I thought I was the only weird person who has tried that.
Could do your brother Scott next absolute legend
That was Fun.🤓
Cool aF, didnt realize Keith is beast
This is a case where the actual pick (gear) makes a difference in sound, and tone isn't all in the "fingers."
🔥🔥🔥
Two guitar gurus talkin' shop.
Doesn't get any cooler than that.
When is the Molly Tuttle episode?
Great show!!!! 45:45
How could you put a Strat neck on that beautiful
Tele?
I wish Chris would have zeroed in on Keith's right hand. Would have loved to see him break down his technique.
Congrats on the sig
Diamantina cocktail. One of my fave albums , they were awesome
Please have Pete Anderson on the show!
What's the point of E flatting, then capo on the first? Why not just do it standard?
100% get Noel Gallagher and Gem Archer on the show with their Oasis rigs
I was led to believe that Stupid boy was done on a 57 junior through a Dumble overdrive Keith had at the time.
Giant
Leo painted what he considered to be lesser woods
21:40 how is Keith cupping his pick
He seems to have magician level dexterity in his right hand. 22:45 is another one where he switches from pick to fingers and then back again
@@Alex-ce1ol I think that's right. Lol
Rewatching focusing on his right hand, that pick is all over the place! Wow
@johnfire9053 right
Mega talented player/singers like Keith don't need to practice. Either ya got it, or ya don't. It's nothingthat can be taught. Ya born with it. For them it's as easy as walking and chewing gum at the same time.
Tops
i love that keith has it. but dont you think waylons son should have the guitar
American Girl Mike Campbell Heartbreak riff
Never mind
Still never seen both of them in the same room... #just-saying
You could tell how uncomfortable keith was about the exact solo fingering when he couldn't remember it..he's like, yeah its like that little river band thing, ya know...
Get Chris Spedding
This is strange to see. They look like the same person with different hairstyles.
nineeen fifty
He's a great player. I can't buy an Aussie dude singing in a pretend hick accent though
These guys never mention Jerry Donahue one of the greatest Tele players. Pete Anderson is pretty good but then Albert Lee is histories greatest.
