Keith Urban Talks Waylon, Knopfler, and His Love-Hate Relationship with Modelers

[@michaelbriggsphotography]

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.

[@erichlovekamp2504]

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

[@Aokitadamitsu]

yeah they are both just having fun and talking about making music.. so organic

[@Aokitadamitsu]

Keith is simply amazing... you need to do an interview with Uncle Larry, that dude is just so laid back and crazy good

[@markgabriel5797]

Great interview. Keith is one of the most versatile players going these days for sure

[@MRxr400]

two of my favourite guitarist. Not just for their playing, but because they're down to earth blokes. Learnt lots from Chris and Kieth.

[@RICO_SUAVE21]

Keith is a guitar god! My all time favorite singer/guitarist! 👍🏾

[@bryanh3057]

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. 🤘

[@andrewpappas9311]

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

[@DustinRadtke]

Chris looking fly with his new haircut! Keith is such a cool dude. It's always fun to hear him talk guitar.

[@callanturner4749]

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

[@patwest8304]

Amazing interview! Loved every bit! Thanks, Chris and Keith!!!

[@robertkermott2155]

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.

[@SeeCSeesCC]

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.

[@AlessandroAscolani]

Amazing interview! Absolute love for Chris and Keith, top notch guitar players!!! Greetings from Italy 🤌🏻

[@GuitarColonel]

I love Pilot!!!....I'm from Brisbane also, and January was a massive hit in the mid 70s

[@liv2praz]

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.

[@drlorenzana]

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! 😂

[@Keepmelevel]

Killer show!🤘🏽😎 Keith is a great guitarist! Cool dude as well! Love the show Shifty👍🏽

[@gsbguitarsgsb679]

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…

[@punkywozza4330]

Now these two are incredible guitarists

[@douglasaxtell]

Chris should interview Mark Knopfler soon.

[@jeffanderson8384]

Was thinking the EXACT same thing.

[@handle433]

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!!!🎸

[@gavinnoyfb2666]

Fantastic chat with Keith.

[@noah_webb]

Great interview! Absolutely love Keith and one of the most talented guitarists

[@davidlawson5937]

Awesome chat!! Keith is a legend and I'm not sure if he knows it! What a cool dude. 😎 Nice job brother 👏 🍻

[@bldallas]

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!

[@bryanmcdermott4204]

This was a fantastic discussion.

[@JasonGraystone]

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.

[@jorgeleonel6663]

What a great , fun, laid back, insightful interview - thanks Keith, and thanks Chris! What a killer channel, love it!

[@2394-j5r]

Thank you Dan Huff for getting Keith to really play again hahaha I was wondering where the guitar was on his latest few records.

[@tonykennedy8483]

Shifty should have Dann on!

[@SteveR5954]

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.

[@Hellhunde64]

David Briggs was the guy who played the LRB solo. He's still kicking around in Melbourne.

[@TheJackRuseell]

Hey brother, Good to see you on this show. Enjoyed the interview. I know that we lost some guitars back in the Nashville flood. .

[@chrisgunn121]

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!

[@StanleyCullerEsq.]

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.

[@Stratomaster989]

Chris , Any chance you can get Tom Sholtz ? That we be amazing!

[@terryeaster1]

0:08 fellas I am so here for this!!!!

[@DavidScott-hi4fz]

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.

[@skippyjames5596]

Keith come play in France please 🍻❤️

[@philroselle1514]

Chris, great stuff as always, get Buk on the show!!

[@MRxr400]

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.

[@haroldbear]

Pete Anderson for future Shred With Shifty episode. 🤞

[@rareform6747]

Tube ass Urban & Shifty 💥🤘

[@byronwelch4754]

Love your show!

[@carlc2597]

I would love to see an album with Keith and Brad Paisley showcasing their guitar skills- the two baddest country guitarists imo

[@sch2412]

as if the first ep of season 2 could not be topped

[@dent2313]

You need to get Jimmy Olander for inventive outside playing tele work. That would be an amazing interview for sure.

[@terryeaster1]

Great show!!!! 45:45

Cool aF, didnt realize Keith is beast

Please have Pete Anderson on the show!

[@whitesebi]

100% get Noel Gallagher and Gem Archer on the show with their Oasis rigs

[@stefan85j]

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.

Diamantina cocktail. One of my fave albums , they were awesome

[@javamon]

Keith says something like "lucky snappers" at 30:30. What is that?

[@jasonreed3739]

I wish Chris would have zeroed in on Keith's right hand. Would have loved to see him break down his technique.

[@terryeaster1]

Leo painted what he considered to be lesser woods

[@klangfarben6]

Help me understand the point of tuning to Eb and capoing 1?

[@terryeaster1]

The strings are more flexible in the same tuning

[@darrenmeza7166]

@@terryeaster1exactly. It removes some of that tension without having to change to lighter string gauges.

[@terryeaster1]

@darrenmeza7166 yep, I'm a guy that loves heavy strings. The G on my strat is a wound 22G

[@Broncos18man]

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

[@bigtguitars7312]

How could you put a Strat neck on that beautiful Tele?

[@johnsmith-ug5tp]

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.

[@GSDC1965]

Never mind

[@marvelharris9540]

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...

21:40 how is Keith cupping his pick

[@Alex-ce1ol]

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
