More captivating and haunting than the original - you make it look and sound so effortless. Thank you for demonstrating the difference between talent and ability. Bravo!
Hello Phil, I will celebrate my 65th birthday next month. I am trying to teach my son to play the guitar. You have been a great inspiration for me. Live long and thank you so much.
A mear youngster ! I'm 66!! Lol . I hope you get on well with the teaching your son . I tought my son Andrew to play and within 7 years he overtook me and now I learn from him. Lol. All the best.... Phil
After shattering my left hand while playing football when I was 15 I’m picking my guitar back at 21 and I’m so excited because these videos are so good and I really hope I can play like you sir, thank you so much for your videos
Hi Phil. Congrats for your perfect performance¡ "Wicked Game" is my pillow song, soundtrack of my life, from the phenomenal country singer Crish Isaak. Thanx for the uploading & sharing¡ Saludos. Desde la lindisima bahia de Tampa, Florida.
Magnifique. Je vous suis depuis longtemps et croyez-moi, tout ce que vous faites est superbement interprété. Merci pour vos adaptations et vidéos. Daniel
You are truely amazing! This is a pure example that it doesn't matter how old you are, you can still be the best at anything. I wish you all the best and I thank you for giving me a lot of motivation to keep on playing guitar.
Uff... Phil !La botaste de homerun¡ "Wicked Game" del excelente cantante country Crish Isaak. Esta es mi canción de cabecera. Soundtrack de mi vida. Y has hecho el mejor cover. Felicitaciones. Me has dado una gran satisfacción. Agradecido. Saludos desde la bella bahia de Tampa, Florida.
Me gusta mucho esta canción y como suena esta guitarra. No existe edad para iniciar o dejar de interpretar un instrumento como la guitarra. Felicidades
So very well done , brother ! You got it all nailed down so well . The tone , the sound , the phrasing ... its all there man ! Just beautiful . This is my favorite rendition . Perfection . Oh , and a great sounding Strat you have there .
Absolutely fantastic! Love this video, and not just to study it and play it myself but also just to listen to such a great rendition. Thanks so much for posting!
congratulations! It literally looks beautiful. it plays very well with fantastic precision thank you very much for this wonderful gift I was always in love with this song, I never imagined seeing a musician play with such beauty. the sound not only of the guitar but of his spirit. I have no more words to adjectivate how lovely it is to see and hear the sound coming out of your guitar.Hugs from Brazil with lots of peace, health, happiness and of course many guitar solos!
Many thanks for sharing. Love that tone .So much now is mixed loud in your face. I've seen live some of the best from the 60s and 70s. You sir are high on my list. The guitar speaks thru you. Very nice🎸🎸👏👏👏👍👍
Masterful playing and tone. You own this song bud. Best version of this song I've ever heard, maybe better than James Wilsey himself! I always thought James' replacement with Chris Isaak didn't do this song justice. Chris should hire you! And let you play some of the melodies solo like this, between verses!
Happy Easter Phil, I'm always impressed by your productions with technical know how on the frets and the 'twiddly knobs'. This is a lovely piece to listen to and enjoy true expertise. Thank you for the music. Very best wishes John.
Hi, Phil ! The bridge/middle pup combo was definitely the right call for this tune, as it added a bit of darkness to it that the bridge pup on it's own wouldn't have done. Big thumbs up from me and have a happy Easter, my friend. All the BEST...Dan.
+Dan Sullivan Hi Dan - glad you agreed with the pup selection as you say does make a big difference. Thanks for the good comments and you too have a great Easter.. Cheers Phil
I listen Wicked games 10 times everyday. Never got bored since last three decades. Soooo soothing. I find it greatest song ever recorded on Earth.
Wow ! that's amazing - thanks for commenting.. Cheers Phil
Regards Phil
So do l l find it mesmerising and haunting Never tire of it
@@waynescott2540 Greetings
I agree. It's the best song ever. I listen everyday since 2018, when I listened for the first time. I'm 25 now.
This is the best interpretation of the guitar of 'Wicked Game' I've heard yet!!!
Check this one out.

You're right! Although this one is great,
your link leads to a closer version.Thanks!
@@20alphabet
The Strat he's playing sounds awesome.
@@steveh9436
I don't know guitars, except you don't blow into em, but they both sound good... with a nod toward the guy in your link.
@@steveh9436 that one was fantastic as well, but this guy's strums are a bit smoother in my opinion. Better flow overall.
More captivating and haunting than the original - you make it look and sound so effortless. Thank you for demonstrating the difference between talent and ability. Bravo!
Thanks again Tim that's very kind of you :-)
I can't play any instrument, listening on music like these to carry on at 65.Thank you Sir.
