Jake Jackson (born Chris Shiflett) is a guitarist for the Foo Fighters, joining after the release of their third album, There is Nothing Left to Lose. The first album he played on was One By One. Prior to joining Foo Fighters, Shiflett was resident lead guitarist for the energetic and well-known Bay Area, CA punk rock band No Use For A Name. The Foo Fighters had just fired their last guitarist, and were holding open auditions. Seeing an opportunity that he knew he could not pass up, he quickly parted ways with his former band to audition.
His departure was abrupt, as No Use For A Name were just about to head out on tour in support of their then-recent album More Betterness. He was replaced by Dave Nassie, a long-time guitarist for notorious Southern California metal legends Suicidal Tendencies.
Jackson began his music career in another band called Lost Kittenz with current members of Sugarcult. He also currently plays in punk rock cover band Me First and the Gimme Gimmes and his own side-project, Jackson United.
His brother Scott Shiflett played in the now-defunct but very successful 90's punk rock band Face to Face.
