Next up on this actionpacked season of Shred With Shifty, country superstar Keith Urban joins Chris Shiflett to walk through some of his most iconic solos and unpack some fine details behind his successful music career.

Strapped with the ’51 Fender “Nocaster” that he used to record the solo on “Tumbleweed,” Urban walks Shifty through some of his guitar secrets, like how he came to own Waylon Jennings’ iconic, leatherbound 1950 Fender Broadcaster (hats off to his wife, Nicole Kidman, for that one). Urban tells avid surfer Shiflett why he never got into surfing while growing up in Australia, and remembers his earliest influences in the country’s music scene.

Lowgain players like Mark Knopfler, Ray Flacke, and Lindsay Buckingham helped shape Urban’s leadguitar tastes, imprints you can hear in the capoed, dropD solo on “Stupid Boy.” (Urban says his new solo record, High, features more of these theatrics.) Amid the fretboard analysis, Urban talks about his “lovehate relationship” with his Fractal ampmodeling unit, which he still leaves at home when he plays live—a 100watt Marshall Super Lead and PRS JMOD 100 still reign supreme for Urban’s concerts.

Tune in to learn how Urban’s unique pick grip gave his solos some extra percussive edge, how he keeps his chops up, and which artist he’d want to “gunsling” for.
