Same here, I would go to LA everytime he plays at the baked potato and it's this sound which is heavenly I graved in my head. If lucky he has the mother strat which puts everything to an 11.
This guy is unbelievable! How in the hell he is not known better in the states is beyond me! I sure hope he comes to Red Rocks in Colorado sometime soon he would blow people away! Thank you for posting this.
@@SuperBuzz71 dude, fyi, Stevie is no longer with us, so why wouldn't you want to see someone that plays similarly? and sayce also has things of his own
@@romanvalente2871 Yes, but what does he have that doesn’t sound like a guy just trying to do SRV? I don’t hear any Phil anywhere. I just hear a parrot. I don’t get people being praised for being a copy. I hear a lot of Albert Collins in Greg Koch’s playing for example. Hell, he flat quotes his licks sometimes but he is not a copy of him. He still does something different and personal while hinting at Albert and Jimi. That is the difference.
As incredible as he is there is a lot of Jimi Hendrix in his playing and no surprise as Jimi set a high bar for innovation and sonic mastery. Philip is amazing
He's amazing I must admit. I like his Texas Blues tone and the bright glassy sound kind of like SRV style but diffenent in a lot of ways. I'm style looking for an artist that has more of Jimi's tone and tasty guitar riffs and oh the bends dont get me started on the sweet boomer bends. I like the slower methodical and rhythmic playing over the straight shred.
Yeah man, there truly is no comparing some playing like this, to some dude trying to sound like, Wingnut Valvestem. Shredding, Shmedding. & EVH, was no Shredder! Wait, just an opinion. 😂
Yes, I prefer singing solos over squealing solos any day. I heard a lot of Hendrix and Trower in his playing. Fantastic technique for what it is, no doubt. Not in love with the tone of his PRS. Too twangy for my ears. Also, he should lose the baseball cap! It looks stupid on such a great player. 😂
I quit the Guitarist A is better than Guitarist B because……. So many years ago, like kindergarten, I think. Everyone has their favorites for personal reasons and there comes along a player that both sides agree he/she is good or sux. I personally like Philip Sayce. Solid blues player who can rock with the best of ‘em. Can play for speed but also has some very tasty solos to boot. There’s a non confrontational reason why I like the guy. As for PS vs. SRV, I’ve played guitar for upwards of 55 years now. Been on the road, studio, even played a stage that had chicken wire up in front of it. They are 2 different animals, 2 different DNA matches. They both bring different licks, but that’s just my opinion. 😎🤘
Questions being, without SRV, or more importantly Jimi, would this guy be playing like he does? That's why I've never had respect for Mayer. Yeah, he sure is very good & successful & good for him. But man, there are plenty of us who if we had spent much of our time learning to play like SRV? We'd probably sound like him too. Personally, it's more about writing man. Not spending so much time, learning some one else's chops.
@@thomaskinne2357Ironically, you've stated it's about _writing_ in regards one of the more prolific and successful songwriters of his generation. John Mayer is more than accomplished in that dept as well. Slow Dancing is one of the most covered, and overplayed, guitar riffs out there - almost to the point of being universally annoying the way Stairway had become by the 80s/90s. Every new guitarist learns it and it has inspired the next wave of players more than Zep or Hendrix have.
Seems like European areas appreciate musicianship, whereas here in the States we have Taylor, Billie, and similar. Lucky me. Will someone please fill in my ears!
Who cares if he was? Does that mean Phil is any less accomplished or enjoyable? Sayce probably has the best live tone of anyone right now. Big Daddy would've sounded even better than the PRS.
Ummmmm, the Jimi Hendrix song from New Years Eve with Band of Gypsys. But you knew that, right? I don't know man? I suppose it's entirely possible, for someone who plays a Strat, to not be familiar with, Machine Gun! & I do not mean, an automatic weapon!
Huh. The subtitle was almost right.. This is what I always want Mayer or Bonamassa to actually sound like: a roided up baby version of SRV with the picking speed of Gary Moore.
to make them saturate he has to turn the volume up a lot, so he turns them backwards to be able to push them to the maximum, when he plays he has a very high volume, believe me!
Is he really good? Yes, but playing fast pentatonic licks is so yesterday. th-cam.com/video/ndYD94q0uK4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=884nlQqKH66wRhN6 This is whete the guitar is today
And man, I'm truly not attempting to take anything away from this guy's playing. He's obviously very good. But the most incredible solo ever? I remember the first time I heard Gary Moore's version of Shapes Of Things & the solo in that. . . . . . . . . . Dudes that come after SRV, let alone Gary, aren't doing the most incredible, anything. Particularly not Vagina Mouth, I mean John Mayer.
Ok, we get it. You dont like JM. He is still an incredible guitarist whether or not you agree. I didn't care for his rookie material, but since he became more focused on the guitar aspect of his music vs being a pop star, it's obvious that he is a great guitarist.
I don't like him? I didn't express that. I, just don't find that to be, the most incredible solo ever. He's obviously a very good player. I'm just kinda burnt out on guys playing like John Mayer. & yeah of course you can relate his playing to SRV or Hendrix. But is this anything new? Innovative? Just an opinion.
You meant John Mayer, ha! It's not about me not liking him, when he says silly shit like, "He's looking for the Joshua Tree of vaginas," in a Rolling Stone interview? & even since then? He's obviously a very good player & songwriter. It's just been very well documented, that maybe he shouldn't speak, publicly. But yeah man, just an opinion.
@@thomaskinne2357 I wouldn't know since I don't care about musician's personal lives at all. Just make good music and I will listen to it. Not interested in what they do otherwise.
According to who man? Sorry, don't mean to be negative. But some dude playing a f**king John Mayer guitar is playing, " The most incredible solo ever?" Not so much. Yeah man, that shit was probably already done by the two cats he's trying, to sound like.
Wow, you really went there! I have to concur with the first sentence. However, I don't know that a player with no soul, could play like that! & this coming from someone who likes John Mayer, like a sharp stick in the eye!
@thomaskinne2357 I'm not saying that sometimes it's about the spaces between the notes. That makes the player have soul, not how many notes you can stick in between each bar. Just saying for each of them nice playing though cause I do the same
@@GSbadfish Yeah man over playing, sure can be trying! I don't know man. . . . . . . . I'm just over this style of player. I mean for me, Michael Landau did it a good while ago! & if I have to hear Joe Bonamassa's name one more time, my head just might explode!
@@thomaskinne2357 I grew up in mobile Alabama. I don't know if you know much about the area, but we have a hell of a lot of blues and soul music that comes from here and other music is well, so it's kind of in our culture. I'm not saying it's bad playing. I'm not saying it's not phenomenal, but the old black dudes that I've listened to that I've actually cut their chops in Memphis back in the day of smack. They tell you right now. It's not about how many you can squeeze into a bar. It's about the soul of the bar.
I can play electric guitar better than this man. I'm only hearing one note at a time, the opposite of what Jimi Hendrix did. I'm hearing a lot of diddling on the strings. No chords behind him, just jerking off to repetitive bass and drums. How together are they if he has to signal the drummer he's coming to the end, as if it sounded any different?
Fast redundancy sounds impressive but NO where NEAR a great guitar solo. This guy has no soul, no catch, no bite like a true legend like SRV and so many others had/have. Solos are more than hammering fast licks, they are melodic in their essence (fast or slow) and scratch an itch to the ear. He scratches a chalkboard to me.
technique and heart! he has a very mature phrasing and when needed he can be a great repeater, he is one of the great guitarists! srv is unique but this man is really strong!
I would argue this guy plays circles around SRV. Many of his licks are SRV's but at such a speed you can't keep up with it. This guy used to play with Jeff Healy in his younger days. He plays slow and soulful plenty of times but his solos usually go into a frenzy. It is not for everyone and I do wish he would savor the notes more often but there's no denying his prowess.
I feel like ive been listening to this same solo for forty years.
I was there and I confirm all. The best player I’ve ever seen live, a monstrous machine. Love him🔥
amazing!
Beato te !!
Same here, I would go to LA everytime he plays at the baked potato and it's this sound which is heavenly I graved in my head. If lucky he has the mother strat which puts everything to an 11.
JIMI HENDRIX VOODOO CHILD AND SR. VAUGHAN VOODOO CHILD. GOOD AND AMAZING...THANKS
amazing!!!
that bass is so sharp ^^

t's truly incredible, one of the best live shows I've ever seen!
Cuz we already had SRV. Nothing new here
How the hell is he not better known anywhere, he's up there with the best, a real guitar players, player

Phillip is a beast. Can't wait to see him in Bristol in November 🎸
it's a tornado, live it's incredible
Una persona grande!
@@indy26211 assolutamente!
I have seen him live a couple of months ago in Italy, I am still blown away. PS see my videos from the live in Fiorenzuola d'Arda!
@@LostPlectrum great guita player!
Phillip is absolutely amazing, and such a humble good guy.
Simply amazing!
He’s a modern day guitar god
yeahhh!!!
love the stoic rhythm group👍
Amazing band❤
He emotes ,strong execution its music done really well. Thankyou Sayce
Great player!
Cannot wait to see you in the UK very shortly. I have been waiting for this for such a long time.
go and see it, you won't be disappointed!
Woow😮
❤
When you're on it's magic and you feel it , but it's better than you thought 😊
it's a storm of emotions and notes, really strong!
There are references to Hendrix, SRV and Eric Gales in this solo 🖤
Yes!!!
Hopefully the hard cores like myself Will listen 2 it eat it! And dream it!!!!!!!!!!!
pure Hendrix .fabulous
great bluesman!
@@gianlucavankery assolutamente !!!
He’s 💯 percent good guitaris 👍🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
of course!
As incredible as he is there is a lot of Jimi Hendrix in his playing and no surprise as Jimi set a high bar for innovation and sonic mastery. Philip is amazing
you're right, there's also a lot of Hendrix in his playing!
A lot of jimi, total rip off
Yeah man, something like that.
It sounds great and he can play. Nothing wrong with carrying on what Jimi started. Who doesn’t like that ?
Lots of bitter envy in here.
he is truly amazing!
He's amazing I must admit. I like his Texas Blues tone and the bright glassy sound kind of like SRV style but diffenent in a lot of ways.

he alternates technique and feeling, a mix of hendrix, srv but in a very personal way
Yeah man, there truly is no comparing some playing like this, to some dude trying to sound like, Wingnut Valvestem. Shredding, Shmedding. & EVH, was no Shredder! Wait, just an opinion.
😂
Yes, I prefer singing solos over squealing solos any day. I heard a lot of Hendrix and Trower in his playing. Fantastic technique for what it is, no doubt. Not in love with the tone of his PRS. Too twangy for my ears. Also, he should lose the baseball cap! It looks stupid on such a great player. 😂
Dude, PLEASE don't start wearing baseball caps. You always looked so classy and distinctive, man.
I agree with you🤣
He can wear anything he likes. It's not even an issue.
Damn!
🤯🤯🤯🤯
I didn’t even know Jimi and Stevie Ray had a baby. Dude is freaking insane
yes and his name is Philip!!!! ahhh

PRS finally got around to sending out a silver sky for torture testing.
ahhhh you're right, if the guitar survives it can do anything else!!!
Seems like European areas appreciate musicianship, whereas here in the States we have Taylor, Billie, and similar. Lucky me. Will someone please fill in my ears!
E peso come il piombo
Awrsome tone. Nothing new here though, all been done before, kinda Hendrix by numbers, but still great to listen to 🤟🤟
thanks
He's good but Frank Marino was playing 98 percent of this 45 years ago.
True, but not with that much aggression.
Who cares if he was? Does that mean Phil is any less accomplished or enjoyable? Sayce probably has the best live tone of anyone right now. Big Daddy would've sounded even better than the PRS.
Philip was prolly riding a tricycle 45 years ago genius.
So, because he was born later, he's less of a player? Is that your logic?
@@damachine3 no it just means he’s just full cliches
He plays even faster on the PRS.
yes of course!
Lol 😂 faster money from Paul Reed Smith 🤔
I don't feel the same way, I've heard him play even more quickly on Big Daddy than in this clip.
I have two words for ya, Machine Gun!!
2 words: war machine!!!!!!!
Ummmmm, the Jimi Hendrix song from New Years Eve with Band of Gypsys. But you knew that, right? I don't know man? I suppose it's entirely possible, for someone who plays a Strat, to not be familiar with, Machine Gun! & I do not mean, an automatic weapon!
OMG!! is that a PRS?
yes!!!! a silver sky!
Sounds very much like a Hendrix number called "Hear my Train a Coming" a live track from his "Rainbow Bridge" album.
live it has a huge and very glassy sound, difficult to manage at the enormous volume it plays at!
Huh. The subtitle was almost right.. This is what I always want Mayer or Bonamassa to actually sound like: a roided up baby version of SRV with the picking speed of Gary Moore.
Gary Moore actually had more speed, and his licks were done with legato mostly.
Everybody deserves an opinion......
Sure!
Then this guy hasnt seen many or heard many truly great solos
why are amps behind him facing backward?
He's really playing it loud so it a bit less aggressive/deafening for the crowd
to make them saturate he has to turn the volume up a lot, so he turns them backwards to be able to push them to the maximum, when he plays he has a very high volume, believe me!
yeah!@@danielboucher328
They were trying to find an escape route. Maybe his John Deere tractor was outside?
A PRS Silver Sky has never sounded that good, and may never sound that good again 😮😂
I agree with you!!!
Philip Sayce vs George thorogood 🤫
George Thorogood is equally interesting!
@@gianlucavankery I agree
I see he's playing a silver sky, John Mayer went back to playing his Strat 😂😂
He plays a Silver Sky for certain songs and as a backup. Everything else is the Strat.
ahhhh unfortunately not...I would say fender all my life!
I think you're playing it because there's a negotiation going on...
Wouldn't put this anywhere near the best guitar Solo ever. It's Like a Non melodic spastic version of SRV meets zach wild
amazing player and yet not one note sounded unique to himself
Great player!!!
Sounds like it was recorded from a shoe box inside my closet.
it is simply recorded with the mobile phone!!!
Another Frank Marino.
Is he really good? Yes, but playing fast pentatonic licks is so yesterday. th-cam.com/video/ndYD94q0uK4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=884nlQqKH66wRhN6 This is whete the guitar is today

Hendrix 🤔 what’s the point in sounding just like another guitarist !! 😮
you always draw from someone!
Certainly not the best solo ever. Close Stevie tone. Check out mateo mancuso from Europe.
certainly a great solo! matteo is Italian like me, but he has nothing to do with the blues! he is a very modern and jazzier multifaceted guitarist
That was very grest,but not the best but high up there for surefire
yes!

Maybe good, but not original at all. Stole Stevie’s tone, don’t get it. Get your own.
SRV stole Jimi's tone. He should've gotten his own...what a poser.
