To bring it on the road, the star has hired guitarists Emily Rosenfield and Daisy Spencer, along with bassist Moa Munoz. PG’s Chris Kies caught up with the three musicians before Rodrigo’s show at San Francisco’s Chase Center in early August to see what gear powers the pop-rock machine.Special thanks for helping out to guitar techs Luis Munoz and Maurizio Pino.Shop Olivia Rodrigo Band's Gear:Kemper Profiler - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/rQ2z45Kemper Profiler Remote - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/DKkb0oShure AD4Q - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/da2ynKRadial JX42 V2 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/DKDZBnLine 6 Helix Rack - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/LXyWv3Line 6 Helix Control - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/QyVv0AMesa Boogie Subway D-800 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/9gvj2yGibson Hummingbird - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/rQjqRRGibson Les Paul Standard - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/k0qrzMGibson Kirk Douglas Signature SG - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/jrKGV5Fender Stratocaster - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/Py1vBYFender Acoustasonic Player Jazzmaster - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/5gODKLErnie Ball Music Man Valentine - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/k0L1VNFender American Professional II Precision Bass - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/4P3PR1Guild Starfire I Bass - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/eKd5ajErnie Ball Paradigm Strings - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/AWL1B1Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky .045-.105 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/xk3xkOFull Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/olivia-rodrigoSubscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeWin Guitar Gear: https://bit.ly/GiveawaysPG Don'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/@premierguitar0:00 - Blu DeTiger & D'Addario0:15 - Emily Rosenfield Playing Intro0:46 - Chris Kies Intro1:02 - Emily Rosenfield on Broadway vs Touring3:42 - Emily Rosenfield's Gibson Kirk Douglas Signature SG8:56 - Emily Rosendfield's Fender Acoustasonic Jazzmaster11:09 - Emily Rosenfield's Recording King Dirty 30s Single 015:52 - Emily Rosenfield's Music Man Valentine18:51 - Emily Rosenfield's Gibson Les Pauls21:18 - Emily Rosenfield's Gibson Hummingbird22:10 - Emily Rosenfield's Taylor 652ce 12-string24:28 - Emily Rosenfield's Fender CME Exclusive '50s Tele25:43 - Yvette Young & D'Addario25:58 - Daisy Spencer's Shabat Guitars Leopard29:10 - Daisy Spencer's Role in Olivia Rodrigo's Band29:38 - Daisy Spencer on Learning Kemper Profiler32:59 - Daisy Spencer's 1972 Fender Strat36:10 - Daisy Spencer's Ernie Ball Valentine40:37 - Daisy Spencer's Gibson L-00 Standard42:53 - Moa Munoz's 1981 Rickenbacker 400146:37 - Moa Munoz's Fender American Pro II P Bass48:36 - Moa Munoz's Guild Starfire I Bass50:16 - Moa Munoz's Mesa Boogie Subway D-80050:47 - Moa Munoz's Line 6 Helix52:29 - Nita Strauss &...

Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/adrian-belew-2024Visit Eastside Music Supply: https://eastsidemusicsupply.com/Adrian Belew is one of the most inventive guitarists of the past half-century—an incandescent player and songwriter who has a vast menagerie of tones and sounds at his command. You’ve heard him with King Crimson, Talking Heads, David Bowie, and Frank Zappa, among others, and with his pop band the Bears and on his solo recordings and tours.This fall, Adrian is following dates with the Talking Heads-fueled Remain in Light tour, which he co-led with Heads keyboardist and guitarist Jerry Harrison, with the BEAT Tour—a run drawing on his recordings with King Crimson in the ’80s: the albums Discipline, Beat, and Three of a Perfect Pair. Of course, this is just a small—but extremely potent and influential—portion of his 30-year collaboration with Crimson founder Robert Fripp, who has given BEAT his blessing. But putting this repertoire in the hands of Belew, fellow Crimson alum and super-bassist Tony Levin, the incendiary Steve Vai (playing the guitar role of Fripp), and the Earth-shaking drummer Danny Carey from Tool promises magical performances. It’s also one of the year’s most-anticipated tours.As I write this, Belew, Levin, Vai, and Carey are rehearsing on the West Coast, and by the time this video posts, they will have played their first BEAT dates. So, word is likely to have spread that Belew has brought some crucial pieces of gear he played with ’80s Crimson back into play. But here, you’ll get a close up look and listen as Premier Guitar joins Adrian—with tech Blair White of Nashville’s Eastside Music Supply—at his mid-Tennessee home for a pre-tour Rig Rundown.

Full Rig 2024 Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/green-day-2024Green Day 2013 Rig: https://youtu.be/7uomdMrkNgAThis year marks two huge anniversaries for Green Day. They defined an entire era of pop-punk with their 1994 major-label debut, Dookie, then did it all over again 10 years later with the punk-rock-opera American Idiot. This year, Idiot turns 20; Dookie is 30.To celebrate the milestones, Green Day has been blasting through stadiums across North America playing both albums in full, back-to-back, with a few odds and ends from their 30-plus years together, plus choice hits from their 2024 record, Saviors. It’s a ton of ground to cover—especially considering each epoch seems to have different and defining sonic characteristics. The guitar and bass tones on Dookie alone are the subject of amp mods, guitar pedals, and signature guitars.At the band’s Nashville stop at GEODIS Park, techs Darian Polach and Gabe Monnot, who manage the rigs of bassist Mike Dirnt and guitarist Jason White respectively, took Premier Guitar’s Chris Kies through the rockers’ gear wardrobes for this mammoth tour.

Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/mononeonSubscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeMonoNeon, aka Dywane Thomas Jr., came up learning the bass from his father in Memphis, Tennessee, but for some reason, he decided to flip his dad’s 4-string bass around and play it with the string order inverted—E string closest to the ground and the G on top. That’s how MonoNeon still plays today, coming up through a rich, inspiring gauntlet of family and community traditions. “I guess my whole style came from just being around my grandma at an early age,” says Thomas.His path has led him to collaborate with dozens of artists, including Nas, Ne-Yo, Mac Miller, and even Prince, and MonoNeon’s solo output is dizzying—trying to count up his solo releases isn’t an easy feat. Premier Guitar’s Chris Kies caught up with the bassist before his show at Nashville’s Exit/In, where he got the scoop on his signature 5-string, Ampeg rig, and simple stomp layout, as well as some choice stories about influences, his brain-melting playing style, and how Prince changed his rig.Shop MonoNeon's Rig:Fender MonoNeon Jazz Bass V - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/QyBQeMAmpeg SVT - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/Jz03zNDigiTech Whammy - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/q4LBROCIOKS SOL - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/jrPL2vFull Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/mononeonSubscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeWin Guitar Gear: https://bit.ly/GiveawaysPG Don't Miss a Rundown: http://bit.ly/RIgRundownENLMerch &amp; 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]0:00 - Blu DeTiger &amp; D'Addario0:15 - MonoNeon Playing Intro1:32 - Chris Kies Intro1:52 - Working with Mavis Staples &amp; George Clinton2:40 - Expanding Songwriting on Quilted Stereo3:49 - MonoNeon Signature Fender Jazz V Bass4:51 - Flipping the Bass5:27 - Family Means Everything to MonoNeon6:37 - MonoNeon Tunings6:50 - Exploring MicroTonal Music7:27 - MonoNeon's String-Bending Style8:15 - Prince Introduced the DigiTech Whammy to MonoNeon8:53 - Impact of Performing &amp; Recording with Prince10:57 - Joe Glaser &amp; D'Addario11:13 - Humbuckers in MonoNeon Jazz V12:27 - Ampeg SVT-CL Half Stack12:51 - MonoNeon Pedalboard14:42 - Making Melodies Out of Viral Videos16:01 - MonoNeon's Love for Dadaism &amp; Grandma's Quilts17:14 - MonoNeon Outro Playing17:59 - D'Addario Strings© Copyright Gearhead Communications LLC, 2024

BARONESS Drum Rundown: https://youtu.be/SFSTU1_oObEFull Rig Info: https://bit.ly/BaronessRR24Hard rockers Baroness were busy writing during the early days of the pandemic, sharing ideas and bits of songs over weekly video calls until they had enough for a new record. Then, after scouting for potential recording locations, they rented an Airbnb in a tiny town in New York and got to work.The band brought all their gear along with them: They literally loaded up a U-Haul truck and left no pedal behind—a bit unnecessary in retrospect. At the end of their stay, they’d all but finished their sixth studio album, Stone, which was released in September 2023. On their recent summer tour supporting the record, the quartet played Nashville’s Basement East, where PG’s Chris Kies met up with vocalist/guitarist John Baizley, guitarist Gina Gleason, and bassist Nick Jost to get an in-depth look at their current road rigs.Shop Baroness' Gear:Roland Jazz Chorus-120: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/eKMoKZFender '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/9gQO6WFender Bassman: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/baEe4xFender '68 Custom Princeton Reverb: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/vNXN1AFender American Professional Telecaster: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/4P3PR1Fender American Professional Stratocaster: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/NkP4W7Fender Precision Bass: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/daxa3QFender American Professional Jazz Bass: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/Y9O94OGallien-Krueger Legacy 800: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/MmZmoPAmpeg 8x10 Cab: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/KjVj2aTech 21 SansAmp Bass Drive DI: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/m5e5rDMXR Iso-Brick: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/LXJXraBoss TU-3: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/jryA4MXotic Effects Bass BB Preamp: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/q414NnBoss ODB-3: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/QyByeYMXR Stereo Chorus: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/9gNgQeModded EHX Big Muff: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/jrPr2nBoss DD-3: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/21QdzOMXR Dyna Comp: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/DKoEkoPro Co RAT: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/XYaJnGMXR Phase 90: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/vNbBJjBoss TR-2: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/9gQOYWEHX Deluxe Memory Man: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/QyX0rzEarthQuaker Devices Dispatch Master: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/PyVNgMDigiTech Whammy: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/q4LBROBoss DM-2w: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/5gRgLnEarthQuaker Devices Tentacle: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/q40z6NPeterson StroboStomp: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/rQLdLjBeetronics Overhive: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/k050bMEarthQuaker Devices Zoar: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/y2oyK2MXR Timmy: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/eKDKBgMXR Super Badass Distortion: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/LXJXrOXotic SP Compressor: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/q414NOMXR EVH Phase 90: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/vNbBJjUAFX 1176 Compressor: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/VmB3A6Ernie Ball Volume Pedal: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/da9AdQD'Addario NYXL .110 Strings: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/xkBkbOStrymon TimeLine: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/0ZyayOBARONESS Drum Rundown: https://youtu.be/SFSTU1_oObEFull Rig Info: https://bit.ly/BaronessRR24Subscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeWin Guitar Gear: https://bit.ly/GiveawaysPG Don't Miss a Rundown: http://bit.ly/RIgRundownENLMerch &amp; 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/@premierguitar0:00 -...

It was a hot one out there, but that didn’t stop our jeans-wearing Kies and towel-drying Shifty from tackling the guitarist’s new and improved 2024 tour rig. You’ll see some familiar faces, but some new ones too, including a sharp ’80s shredder and a pink partscaster. The biggest change of all comes in the form of a Dave Friedman-designed pedalboard, an impressive rackmount setup with a massive RJM switcher to hit all the set pieces.
