As guitarist Duane Denison told PG’s Nick Millevoi in our feature story, the key to the album’s vitality—and reviving the band’s brutal sound—was simple: “Practice loud.” Ahead of a hotly anticipated U.K. tour celebrating the record, the band gathered at SIR’s rehearsal space in Nashville to do exactly that. PG’s Chris Kies stopped by to see what Denison and bassist David Wm. Sims were stuffing into their suitcases for the trip across the pond.Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/the-jesus-lizard-2025Subscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeWin Guitar Gear: https://bit.ly/GiveawaysPGDon't Miss a Rundown: http://bit.ly/RIgRundownENLMerch & Magazines: https://shop.premierguitar.comPG's Facebook: https://facebook.com/premierguitarPG's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/premierguitar/PG's Twitter: https://twitter.com/premierguitarPG's Threads: https://threads.net/@premierguitarPG's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@premierguitar0:15 - Duane Denison Playing Intro1:08 - Celebrating Band's Longevity & New Album Rack2:18 - Duane Denison's Powers Electric Type A5:04 - Why Duane Denison Practices Really Loud6:43 - What Duane Denison Needs From His Guitar Tone7:44 - The Jesus Lizard Tunings8:42 - Duane Denison's Core Tone (Hide and Seek)10:02 - Duane Denison's Chorus Tone11:42 - Duane Denison's Delay & Unison Notes12:53 - Duane Denison's "Oddball" Sound13:44 - How Duane Denison Uses Space in His Guitar Playing16:55 - Duane Denison's Stringjoy Strings & Picks18:37 - How Duane Denison Warms Up & Stays Limber19:44 - Duane Denison's Victory VS100 Super Sheriff21:25 - Duane Denison's Line 6 Helix Floor23:25 - Duane Denison's Soloing Technique ("Grind")25:35 - What Still Excites Duane Denison About Guitar?27:03 - "Puss" Live27:42 - John Bohlinger & XPND Pedalboard28:33 - David Wm.
