Ethan Shanfeld Chris Shiflett, longtime axeman of the Foo Fighters, is launching a podcast about all things guitar. “My new show, ‘Shred With Shifty,’ was born out of the fact that I spend an awful lot of time watching people on the internet explain guitar parts almost right, so I thought, what if I could just go to the source and find out what my favorite players actually did on the solos I love?” Shiflett told Variety in a statement.

Shiflett shared the first round of guests for the podcast, including Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo, Rush’s Alex Lifeson, Chic’s Nile Rodgers, Brad Paisley, Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready, Bon Jovi’s Richie Sambora, Brothers Osborne’s John Osborne, Blackberry Smoke’s Charlie Starr, Lindsay Ell, Brent Mason and Jawbreaker’s Blake Schwarzenbach.

Executive produced by Double Elvis, “Shred With Shifty” will see Shiflett asking his guitar-playing guests about their musical history and inspirations.

With both Shiflett and the guest plugged into amps, music is central to each conversation. In an upcoming interview with Cuomo, Shiflett asks the Weezer frontman to demonstrate the layered guitar parts of “Only in Dreams.” Full video episodes will be available exclusively on Volume.com, while audio versions will be available on all major podcast platforms. “I love guitar, and in particular, I love lead guitar (not to mention all things related to lead guitar playing: amps, pedals, stories about recording and, of course, guitars),” Shiflett said. “My new show, ‘Shred With Shifty,’ was born out of the fact that I spend an awful lot of time watching people on the internet explain guitar parts almost right, so I thought, what if I could just go to the source and find out what my favorite players actually did on the
