I love Shifty’s music and his fantastic guitar chops. He has had some great guests on the show and I really enjoy hearing them talk through how a specific lick on one of theirs songs is done. Shifty is pretty humble when he talks about learning the riff. However, he always kills it! I have narrowed down the list of podcasts I listen to. This is one is definitely a keeper and a real favorite. I look forward to each episode drop.

Thanks Chris and crew! I love Walking the Floor and the way Chris interviews the artists. Shred with Shifty takes it to a new level of woodshed-ability for guitar players and non guitar players will love it too. I feel like I’ve learned so much about the creative process. Can’t wait for more episodes. Look forward to seeing you at the Belly Up Chris!

The first episode was amazing and you started with the most talented and humble guitarist in Alex Lifeson. I’m now officially hooked as a professional guitarist and a podcast listener. Good job Shifty.

I am without speech. I stumbled upon this by accident. I’m a radio RUSH fan, and saw them in the late 80’s in Hartford. If you like Classic Rock, Guitar, and especially if you like Alex Lifeson, check it out. Alex walks you through how to play one of his more iconic solos from LIMELIGHT. WHAT A SMILE THIS PUT ON MY FACE.
