A new album, From Zero, was released in November 2024, followed by the single “Up From the Bottom” earlier this year, and this summer, the band tore off on an international arena and stadium comeback tour. Founding lead guitarist Brad Delson is still a creative member of the band, but has elected to step back from touring. And so on the road, Alex Feder takes his place alongside founding guitarist/vocalist/keyboardist Mike Shinoda, DJ Joe Hahn, and bassist Dave Farrell. PG’s Chris Kies headed to downtown Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena to meet up with Mike Shinoda, plus techs Mark, Ben, and Tracy, to learn how the band pulled off their much-anticipated gigs this year. 0:00 - Wolf Van Halen & D'Addario0:15 - Mike Shinoda Intro0:59 - Subscribe to Rig Rundowns!1:08 - Chris Kies Intro1:24 - Mike Shinoda on Playing Guitar & Keyboards Live2:08 - How Does Each Instrument Inspire Mike Shinoda4:07 - Mike Shinoda on Approaching Guitar4:55 - Guitar Shopping in Nashville5:47 - Mike Shinoda's "What I've Done" Strat6:41 - Mike Shinoda on Choosing Guitars for Tour8:30 - Mike Shinoda on Recreating Album Tones Onstage10:23 - Mike Shinoda on Production13:06 - Mike Shinoda's 'Meteora' PRS Custom CE 2414:51 - Mike Shinoda's Killspencer Leather Straps17:16 - Mike Shinoda's "Given Up" Gibson SG18:05 - Who Got Into PRS Guitars First?19:21 - Mike Shinoda's Fender Blacktop Baritone Telecaster21:05 - Mike Shinoda's Evolution as a Guitarist23:20 - What Gear Inspired Mike Shinoda on From Zero24:44 - Mike Shinoda's Keyboard Setup29:24 - Does Mike Shinoda Have More Fun on Guitar or Keys31:28 - Ever Thought About Keytar?31:51 - MIDI Guitar on "Casualty"33:10 - Mike Shinoda's Solo Section on Keyboards34:40 - D'Addario Players Circle Rewards35:40 - Mike Shinoda & Alex Feder (Brad Delson) Rack Setups47:41 - Brad Delson's (Alex Feder) "Hybrid Theory" PRS49:36 - Brad Delson's (Alex Feder) "One Step Closer" PRS50:10 - Brad Delson's (Alex Feder) PRS DC3 for 7-String Songs51:52 - Setting Up Brad Delson's Gear for Alex Feder to Play52:48 - Brad Delson's (Alex Feder) Fender Rory Gallagher Strat53:51 - Brad Delson's (Alex Feder) Fender Custom Shop Strat54:44 - Brad Delson's (Alex Feder) PRS Cust55:48 - Coup Card Game56:00 - Picks for Brad Delson & Alex Feder56:23 - Linkin Park Tunings57:36 - Dave "Phoenix" Farrell Basses1:02:53 - Dave "Phoenix" Farrell Rack Setup1:04:11 - Joe Glaser & D'AddarioFull Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/linkin-parkSubscribe 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/@premierguitar© Copyright Gearhead Communications LLC, 2025#guitar #linkinpark #rigrundown #guitarist #guitarplayer #guitargear

Urban travels with a friendly crew of vintage guitars, so there was much to see and play. In fact, so much that they ran out of time after getting through the axes! Later, Bohli and Co. met up with Urban tech Chris Miller to wrap their heads around the rest of the straightforward pedal-free rig he’s rockin’ this summer. Last year, Urban released High, his 12th studio record, so you’ll be sure to catch those tunes and more in his extensive jam-friendly sets. Here’s a look at what Keith is bringing with him to stages across the U.S., including a prototype signature PRS to vintage Gibsons and a pair of heavy-lifting Marshalls.0:00 - Joe Glaser & D'Addario0:15 - Keith Urban Playing Intro0:35 - Subscribe to Rig Rundowns!0:49 - John Bohlinger Intro1:04 - PRS Keith Urban Prototype3:51 - 1989 Fender Custom 40th Anniversary Telecaster "Clarence"4:29 - PRS Custom with Wooden Truss Rod7:50 - 1964 Fender Strat8:56 - No Distortion Pedals -- Using Marshall Super Lead for Gain9:38 - Novo Solus10:45 - 1972 Fender Mustang Bass12:29 - 1964 Gibson SG Junior14:21 - 1952 Gibson Les Paul16:10 - Taking Vintage Guitars on the Road17:44 - Maton Mini Maton Diesel EMD619:37 - Keith Urban & D'Addario20:07 - Keith Urban Tech Chris Miller Intro20:36 - Keith Urban's Picks & Strings24:25 - Late 1970s Marshall JMP Super Leads 100W27:03 - 1970s Marshall 4x12 with Celestion G12H-150 Redback Speakers29:05 - Acoustic Sciences Corporation Speaker Baffles (from Pete Townsend)32:46 - Powering Keith's Rig34:57 - What Amps Did Keith Use on Previous Tours?37:11 - Signal Chain & Pedalboard (Not Being Used)43:40 - Rack Gear (Fractal, Marshall JMP-1 Power Amp, Acme Audio Motown Preamp DI)49:20 - D'AddarioFull Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/keith-urbanSubscribe 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/@premierguitar[Brought to you by D’Addario: https://ddar.io/wykyk-rr]© Copyright Gearhead Communications LLC, 2025#guitar #rigrundown #keithurban #guitarist #guitarplayer #guitargear
