So great! The last real Rocker...Phil X. If he was born in the 90's he'd have led a grunge band to household name status. 70's? He'd have been in his element in Rocks' heyday in any number of Led Zep type band. The 60's, he'd have been rocking at Woodstock, no doubt! 80's? Maybe he'd have been in the first line-up of Bon Jovi...🤷♂️ ...But his time came in the 2010-20's...when Utube is the last venue for the dying breed of Rockers.
To all the ppl thinking Phil is on drugs....I knew him when he was in frozen ghost, triumph, and just getting his career started.....about as anti drug as possible. Just an enthusiasm for guitar and music in general!! Deserved of apl his success
Hey Phil & all the guys at Frettedamericana - I love that guitar!! I think my favourite old Les Paul of all time would be a 56 Les Paul Junior in Sunburst. I got to play (only for a minute!) Richie Samboras one - its always the one that I think gets him his best tones. Anyway - can't wait to see you all in the UK sometime this year! Cheers, Lee.
This guy is a bit hyper naturally it seems, but I still enjoy watching his videos because it reminds me of why I started playing guitar when I was 12, and still playing at 60. Playing is so much fun and this guy obviously plays because of how much he enjoys everything about playing guitar. I love what he says about "it's in the hands." All the killer sounds he's getting with just the guitar and amp. Great singer as well and a walking encyclopedia of licks and tunes.
@@waynepayne864 Bon Jovi. lmao. What a joke . Sorority house pop music.,I wouldn’t brag about that.Phil is better than Bon Jovi . He shouldn’t be wasting his time in that band . We need more Phil x and the drills albums.
.Phil X is why I switched to P-90s and play a single pickup LP JR type setup...love it !!..totally fits and sonically, feels good..you can bust in and out of Hard and Clean, pretty damn easily...WORD !!!..love all ya do, Mr The X...talent and humor is where its at...RAWK AWWWN !!!
Contrary to many of the 'experts' on this site, I don't think Phil X is on drugs. He just has more enthusiasm ( and wit ) in his little finger than most people do in their entire bodies!
I know its about the guitar but Phil's personality is at an 11! Love the childish enthusiasm. You can tell he is having a blast. That's how playing guitar should be. If you aren't having the time of your life then you shouldn't be doing it and should do something else.....like be an accountant or a podiatrist. Lol Great job. 🤘
I LOVE Phil X. Just love his energy, commitment, lack of inhibition and, obviously, mindblowing skill and dedication to his craft. I know he's naturally gifted but I bet he practises about 10 hours a day every day.
Phil X a guy who enjoys what he does , does not take things to seriously , but he has a gift of improvising every guitar lick he ever heard , over 1000 likes cant be wrong !!!!!
Coolest guy ever. So glad he joined Bon jovi first time in 2011. 13 shows for RS. AND IN 2013 a member of BON JOVI. 😊 😉 I wish RS THE Best. PHIL X IS AN AWESOME GUITAR PLAYER. 😊
I absolutely love the les paul junior a timeless axe and yes it would be worth a few bucks these days. I've got a strat it's an artist brand with trevor wilkinson single coil pickups. I'm a lefty so my budget was pretty tight but I've had it set up by a guitar tech here in taylors lakes melbourne australia and I'm pretty happy with it cheers
Love this musician ! Phil va checher le MAXIMUM de toutes les guitares ! Excellente pub pour toutes les guitares qu'il a entre les mains ! Carry-on dad !
It took working in the music industry to understand what he was talking about but it’s true, I’ve heard the JR so many times and to this day it’s still one of the best sounding guitars I’ve ever heard, the guitar can literally do anything you want it to do, just all about what you put into it, FYI in case you wanted to know that’s a P90 baseplate he’s wearing around his neck 😂
That P-90 is a BEAST! You can get a lot more out of that pickup and that guitar than one would think is possible. My uncle has a 1960 double cutaway that is amazing sounding. I've begged him to sell it to me, his price set, but he always says no and claims that when he dies, that guitar is going to be buried with him. So I play that guitar as long as I can every time I visit him.
Love "Feelings" great version. And i think your right on the money about the tone and sound being in the hands. I went through an extremely short period of time when i thought the more expensive gear would make me. NOPE! Nothing and i mean NOTHING! Beats practice practice practice. Nice junior. Great vid. 🎸🎶
That guy is nutsssss feelings ,,,,,,still one of the best guitar players I've heard in my life 62 years,,,,,,, not being able to play my guitar everyday which sucks why,
I Love this Guy ! ! ! - Give him his own Late Night Show! No guests, just him . . . . . . Huge Ratings, just see. He would catch on quick with the public. Excellent Player with a Massive Personality.
My brother bought one of those in a pawn shop for $60.00 in Orlando, Fl. in the late 60s. Thanks for explaining why it was called a TV model. This guitar was the same as the one my brother had.
Johnny who?I know about Thunders and sorry to say but he sucked.Leslie West”is”the Les Paul junior and made the guitar popular(I hate that word..ha)and played one at Woodstock and all the classic Mountain albums so i would say that his the one that are””mainly identified”with the Les Paul junior.Have a good day.
@@bobolsen8067 All props to Leslie West (R.I.P.)- he was amazing! However, I have never once in my life heard anyone refer to a double-cut Junior as “the Leslie West guitar”. Conversely, probably 75% of the time I’ve heard someone talking about a double cut junior, they’ve called it “the Johnny Thunders guitar”. You don’t have to like the New York Dolls, or Heartbreakers, or anything Johnny Thunders did. But don’t try to tell me that the double cut junior is more of the Leslie West guitar than the Johnny Thunders one. 🤦♂️
Phil X can never demo enough Les Paul Jrs. I want one so much right now. I thought I was done gear-wise when I got my Jazzmaster a few months ago, now I want an LP jr DAMN YOU, PHIL X! DAMN YOU TO HELL!
Totally! when working the volume knob on the guitar you can get way more shades of tone than you'd get when A/B'ing two amps for just a drive or a clean amp.
Good video to show off a 1959 Les Paul Junior, I bought one new in 1959 but is the red color like the one hanging up to the right. Still love this guitar.
Had a '61 for a short time. Cherry red and a p90 that was so vocal it would pick up the phone and order pizza for you. Sold it at the 94 Nashville show for WAY too little. Wish I still had it. Didn't see the benefit of a solo pickup guitar back then. Regrets,,.....
This guy reminds me of Stan, the ships salesman on the "The secret of monkey island". LOL. Hey man, you should try out hosting a talk/guitar show on TV. You're brilliant. :D
Or they should be educated? Maybe they are just starting out? Imagine if you wanted to learn something and every question which you wanted to ask, because you were new was greeted with derision (google that, smart arse).
@@jameshansing5396 I mean, even when I didn't know anything about guitars, I _kind of_ knew the difference between a Les Paul and a Strat. The two guitars look pretty much nothing alike.
Toni Dzuric My mate Anita is Croat. She offered me a cup of coffee. She asked me if I had a heart condition! Gives me half a mug, at 8 pm, 8am next morning, I’m still buzzing like a coke/amphetamine overdose. Fucking loonie juice!
Imagine assuming that having an awesome vintage guitar to mess around with equates to being on speed. From someone who tried speed once or twice a decade ago, this isn't what someone who did speed acts like 😂😂
Even though the lyrics were off a bit, great on the spot rendition of "Just what I needed" by The Cars. Elliot Easton one of best guitarist for certain. "So says Mr.Tom, and so it was written..."

This guy is like a walking encyclopedia for rock n roll. When technology allows it, we need a clone of this dude at every guitar shop.
Yea for real. And I love his energy
I love this guy. I never get tired of watching these old videos just to hear Phil X play and be himself.
Phil X is a gift to the world of Rock. Such a talent.
Is there anyone who's still listening? let's rock!
monkey&punk me. I’m listening.
I’m listening too. Can’t believe 8years have passed..
So great! The last real Rocker...Phil X.

🤣whatever I'd appreciate him more if he was just high. Hes just aloof and awkward otherwise.
@@bolerdweller or just. . .Canadian.
@@Win7ermu7e I'm canadian and I'm not like that
Your check is in the mail! Rock on Brother! Xoxo, Phil X.
Yeah, and Elvis got an anti-drug badge from Nixon.
Gosh... I missed this a lot. And here I'm 12 years later seeing the only guitar reviewer that entertain. Phil X
Having this guy as a guitar teacher must feel like a giant jam instead of a class.
these are so classic. Proud to say I followed all of these as they came out and it was awesome!!!!!!!!
Me too. What a brilliant series. Best vintage guitars rockin the house down
You guys sell Adderall by chance?
Phil I never get tired of hearing you play, I’ve learned tons from you . Thank you
This guy is an unstoppable force. Love it.
"I don't know what to say to those guys... go check em out".... hahaha
Nowadays, I would say the difference is about $1200.00..
Give me some of what he's on...
"rock and roll!"
sex drug and rock n roll, without the sex and drug. at least during the video i guess XD
I won't give you any but I'll sell you a gram of it.
micky rooney Me too
+micky rooney It's called "Loving life" and it's not physical.

Just drop a guitar in his paws and he'll show you what's the deal in minutes. I dig that. (He should tone down the stoner thing a notch or two)

I remember when TH-cam was brand new, and Phil X made these videos. I used to love watching them when I was new into playing.
This cat might as well be the answer to our energy crisis... ^__^
Despite his obvious great musicianship Phil’s enthusiasm is so much fun, always brings a smile to my face!!
The scream at 9:11. Phil’s an animal! Love everything about this guy!
Man Elliot Easton was such an underrated guitarist. The Cars kicked so much ass.
Never,ever get Greg Koch and Phil in the same room...I think it would explode. And that's before a note was played!
kitano0 would actually pay for this

I just realized just how good Elliot Easton is
You made my day with your rendition of "feelings" 👍 and I have been dreaming of a DC junior for a while now. Thanks for demonstrating it.
It's like "the Dude" playin' guitar, Man, don't change a thing ! Haha Cheers :)
Nah, The Dude's never _that_ loud. He never really does raise his voice much. That's not to say "I find Phil X annoying" because I don't.
Phil X a guy who enjoys what he does , does not take things to seriously , but he has a gift of improvising every guitar lick he ever heard , over 1000 likes cant be wrong !!!!!

"Blow minds with your hands, not your pedals." Classic Phil
I used to watch these videos on my IPod Touch before I went to sleep when I was in high school. Good Ol' times
Come on ,this guy rocks and his funny
totally agree phil's a very talented muso and I love his reviews of these guitars also love his little cover of the cars just what I needed phil rocks
funny......? dont think so...
Fair enough you're entitled to your own opinion I just love his opinion on guitars and his videos cheers
yes,i do also..........I have a 1960 Cherry red Les Paul junior just like above (similar)....and its a baby..love it...worth some bucks too..
I absolutely love the les paul junior a timeless axe and yes it would be worth a few bucks these days. I've got a strat it's an artist brand with trevor wilkinson single coil pickups.

The Deadpool of guitar
Kikyo Tail yep
Was about to turn it off...
Then plays solo to “Just what I needed “ note for note...
Now one of my favorite guitarists.😁🤣👍🎸
Phil is one of the best session guitarist in the world...He is a routinely hired gun for recorded guitar work.
What a BEAUTIFUL guitar, fuck

This guy's an absolute hoot!! And an amazing player too...couldn't get away with it otherwise. Saw him with Bon Jovi doing a great job!
Phil is one of the best guitarists on the planet. But he is without a doubt the best marketer on the planet.
Thanks for the story about the color of the guitar, i will use that as my next pickup line
Seriously
Have used used it yet??? 😃

About 3 pounds.
They're the same!!!
tfoshohoe electronic guitars wheigh? I thought they where electronic?
René J Simonpietri one has 6 strings and the other has 6 strings.
René J Simonpietri One is good, one is good, one is made of wood, and the other is made of wood.
I've sold my Tube Screamer for several Bad Monkeys years ago and don't regret it. Still my number 1 go to pedal.
with this "one amp-one guitar" issue, Phil should write a philosophy book.
Totally! when working the volume knob on the guitar you can get way more shades of tone than you'd get when A/B'ing two amps for just a drive or a clean amp.
Good video to show off a 1959 Les Paul Junior, I bought one new in 1959 but is the red color like the one hanging up to the right. Still love this guitar.
I came for Van Halen, I stayed for Rush xD
It's Sunday morning. I'll come back to this!
This guy kind of reminds me of Jack Black for some reason
except actually good on guitar
But Jack Black doesnt do crack
Neither does Phil.
jack dreams of being phil tbh
i love how you own the song with just one guitar and an awesome voice.
I miss this show. It disappeared right after Jared James Nichols took over.
I love this guitar! The sound its amazing!
My man is high on life
One day I will have a Guitar like that . I have been waiting for so LONG $$$$$
I like his energy and no pedals tone philosophy....meat and potatoes...all you need.
1 amplifier, 1 guitar, 1 totally awesome guitar player = Phil X
You always get the brown sound my friend...
He may be crazy.. but he's the best crazy player out there !
Keep up the great work brother !!!
This is the best show on TV.
I watched this twice once to actually watch the guitar playing then again just to listen to this guy

phil is such a great guitarist.
" So this guitar sounds awesome - this is a g cord"
Amazing voice, and amazing guitarist! Great video
Can you imagine being in a band with this guy? Jesus, he's making me so nervous.
Where have you been all my life? Watching your videos makes me want to FINALLY learn to play... :-)
Phil, just a quick question... How can you play a junior for over 10 minutes and not do any Leslie West???? WTF man. Peace bro....
69gunnr OR JOHNNY THUNDERS???
Umpteen punk bands.
Just amazing that you can get so many different tones out of a single pickup guitar, having said that Phil X is a pretty good guitar player
The Edge disliked this video
Not enough delay
I'll bet his outtakes are pure gold.
This guy reminds me of Stan, the ships salesman on the "The secret of monkey island". LOL. Hey man, you should try out hosting a talk/guitar show on TV. You're brilliant. :D
He's been playing since he was five. No wonder he's so good.
If someone asks what's the difference between a strat and a les paul then they shouldn't touch a guitar 😂
Or they should be educated? Maybe they are just starting out? Imagine if you wanted to learn something and every question which you wanted to ask, because you were new was greeted with derision (google that, smart arse).
