Best thing about COVID was finding this guy during lockdown . Insanely talented

Love Ariel and his playing. When players demo their set up and are immediately “in it”, is great. Marcus King’s rundown was similar in that he’d start playing and was ready to let the tone carry him off.

Ariel is a monster player. Every time I hear him play I'm inspired

Ariel seems like such a good dude. Love his songwriting and genuine approach to music.

Ariel Posen is just a next big thing in guitar world, what a superb dynamics and fretboard mastery he has and plays so melodic all the time.....

Love Ariel, seems like a down to earth guy who loves what he does. Hope to see him live someday!

Great to hear these easy going articulate descriptions of gear nerdiness. Thanks to Ar

Maybe it was just the moody Monday but this is my favorite rundown Chris has done. Good work.

I could listen to Ariel playing anything with a string on it.. such talent and so tasty playing!

Whtta great player and rundown. Our boy Chris does it again! 👍🎸👍🎸👍

I love how he mentions Jeff beck, specially after today 😢

Wow what a trip seeing a Winnipeg cat on PG's Rig Rundown! Fuck yeah dude!

I absolutely love Ariel's playing; and who knew (I didn't b4 I watched ... thx PG!) also his approach to using gadgets (pedals, effects loops, et al) especially out-of-the-box amp sounds. And he is such a nice person too (met him at NAMM a few years back he is so generous with his time talking with fans).

Incredible talent. Saw his trio in a small room last spring. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen.

That dude is such an amazing player…

He's not just a very fine guitarist, he is a very inspired musician and that's makes the real difference...👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼

It's great hearing some melodic harmonic playing, rather than the normal blues, rock sounds.

Awesome to have Ariel on guys! he is a class act and such a great player!!! Great rig rundown! Thank you

Watching this shortly after hearing the bad news about Jeff Beck, r.I.p. 😢We need more guitar heroes, I feel we have a contender here❤

Was able to see him that night at Basement East and he killed it as per usual.

Such great tone!

Such an amazing musician.

Did not expect to hear Saginaw Michigan this morning lol. Never knew that’s where they were built.

I don't personally like all his stuff, BUT, he gets it. Creating his own sound that is almost instantly identifiable instead of trying to recreate others sounds that have been done before and done better.

Love the effects, awesome playing and creativity. Thanks for posting.

Love the warmth in Ariel’s approach to tone.

Awesome tones from Ariel

didn't know about this mule. what a great guitar.

I learned about this guy from watching Anderton’s! He’s incredible!!

Un cordial abrazo desde Valencia-España 🤘🎸🎵🙏🚀🪐🌟 Fantástica guitarra...muy original.

Cool stuff. Original playing. Like the clock.

This was awesome...great musician, learned lots about building and balancing soundscapes, thx for sharing!!

WOW someone with a CLEAN pedalboard!!!! How freaking awesome!

Legend

Great stuff! :)

BRUTAL SOUND

I agree completely.

Black fountain! Yeah!

Love Ariel, one of my faves. But I cried a little tear when he mentioned Jeff Beck…

Mule!!! Matt is the man!

That was beautifully put... "I want to hear how the guitar speaks with your hands on it."

19:35 RIP

Totally agree with the round tip slide comments.

I've seen Ariel interviewed and/or just talking about his gear quite a few times now. He always comes over as very laid back and friendly no matter who he's dealing with. He has an interesting approach to making music which either works really well for me or bores me witless depending on the song. Definitely an artist worth watching live for those moments of magic where he stretches out and finds those notes you're not expecting.

This interviewer is very knowledgeable attentive and reserved! Know what question to ask, know how to ask the question, and shut the hell up! Masterclass in interviews here..... Pay attention guys!

.a.true.inspiration.

Love the Keeley Hydra!

Ariel always has an amazing rig. Interesting that he’s not using his signature Hudson drive.

String Gauge at 5:40

Fitting that Ariel would mention Jeff Beck......RIP 💗🤘🏻💗🤘🏻💗

The Mavericks would make a good rig rundown sometime. It would be interesting to hear from Eddie Perez and Raul Malo.

I am the same way with volume knob or volume pedal. I am more used to the Volume knobs. To me, I seem to have more control. I imagine if I worked with the pedal more I could get used to it, but I am more comfortable with the way it is.

A lot of times Chris has to keep the conversation about gear moving, this time all he did was set him in motion and Ariel just ran with it. Great rundown.

I believe E to B is down a 5th going from B to the E would be up a fourth. But I’m a drummer.

💕💕💕

Love the tip of the hat to Bill Nash! S63 faithful

The word he’s looking for talking about string guage vs guitar tuning is ……tension!

@19:35 *RIP Jeff Beck*

RIP Jeff Beck

Sounds like me, I don't know the technical terminology for the gear,just how I'm manipulating the equipment an why 😂 cool video

Chris, dont worry about the comments! You do a hell of a job.

Super random but does anyone know what type of jacket Ariel is wearing? I love it 😂 and what an amazing video! Thanks for sharing!

Reminds me of Bill Frisell

Robert keeley needs to release more Posen hydras…I missed them twice!

For the Mayer heads who heard the Slow Dancing harmony at 0:47 and that ongoing turn into the second 6-4-1 run, I believe he’s playing a C diminished arpeggio (flat VI dim) to lead into the c#min (vi). It’s a beautiful note choice.

Chris Kies is the man 🙌

11:31 anyone know what brand Ariel’s coat/shirt is? I really like it and want one like this. Thanks!

That's the fastest half an hour ever! Great interview, great rig rundown!

Ariel is a super nice guy in person as well. Let's normalize people feeling comfortable putting their tuner wherever they feel in their chain! Mine is at the end 😜

if you haven't heard him on the scary pockets "levitating" cover, you should cio

rip jeff beck

Still waiting for the Julian Lage Rig Rundown you teased a few months back!

What pedal is the flutter and swell sounds, around 25./26 minutes in?

Ok...But when is Foals rig rundown going to be posted?

Rest in power Jeff Beck

Please ask you camera or audio tech disable compression when showing amps and audio effects!!!

wait i'm confused, does color have anything to do with it?

what power supply does he use?

This man needs to check out the new Joey landreth two rock

I have an original release of that Rolling Stone shirt!

StringJoy! That’s a huge part of the sound. They don’t sound like regular guitar string! They sound like you think a string should sound!

What’s the tunning on the guitar? 🎸

I only watch the bolinger ones 😅

Ariel and The Tallest Man On Earth have such tasty tones

Did I misunderstood something or is he really running his fuzz at the end? Or did he start from the end?

Kinda weird that his signature pedal isn’t on his board. Makes a person think it was just an economic endeavour, not an artistic one. Especially since he’s now shilling for the V2- why should we buy a more expensive version when he stopped using the first one?

The Jeff Beck reference 😢

do another russian circles!

Mentions Jeff Beck...

Ariel is so 🆒

Ironic he mentioned Jeff Beck who we just lost

I keep reacting to stuff he says and plays like John Bohlinger would. The interviewer's reaction at 26:03 haha zzz

Tone knob on teles are important people tend to not use the tone knob.

P90....yeppers.

@justin jeske that you d00d??

His bit about effects loops made no sense at all to me. Each to their own of course.

Wished the interviewer would take his hands out from his pockets. He’s so shut off

Watching this because I’m the only human apparently who didn’t enjoy “possibly the worlds greatest guitar solo” and thought it was super boring - gotta see why everyone liked this guy cuz idg it

Anyone else think it sounds ass ?
