1962 Gibson Les Paul SG Standard 01131

[@wilsocn]

I wish I were as positive as Phil X. I need this guy to follow me around all the time and keep me in an upbeat mood.

[@JMcKaySV]

Man I wish I could play like this

[@WafflePirate]

oh man that sound with the neck pickup AMAZING

[@Juliang61]

total crackpot, great player, great performer. Phil is great!!!

[@GravityBoy72]

Four fingers and a thumb to play the same note. Genius. These videos are the best guitar thing on KZbin.

[@JobyP]

The sound of Phil playing that Guitar through That Amp is the sound I hear in my head when I think perfect tone... That guitar is INCREDIBLE!!!

[@TheErod1944Channel]

Hey! I've got one of those except I bought it new in 1962 when I was 17 and it came with a Bigsby. I don't play it much because I've gone off to jazz-land but when I plug it in I'm always blown away by the authority of the tone in the thing and the amazing comfort of the neck..

[@usedtobias]

this sounds so goddamn good. like, it sounds AMAZING and really ringy and chimey and sustainy clean, but it also sounds really good through the tonemaster. this is like one of the best sounding videos you've done, i think. it makes me really want an sg but i know nothing i could afford would sound anything like this!

[@TheRicokilla]

Some people are just born to be able to play. Not many can

[@TheKeswickGallagher]

Phil X does the Best demo's on youtube hands down with out any form of doubt of competition and yes I made that redundant

[@MadSpectro7]

Les Paul Standards were build from 1957/58-1960 and from 1968 onward. LPSGs were build from 1961-1963 and from 1963 onward as SGs.

[@Thatfenderguy]

So Phil X is pretty much my idol. He inspires me to keep playing and to better my playing and to keep music fun. Thanks Phil! :D

[@gearhead3081]

If I remember correctly Les Paul did not designed the Les Paul. The only input he had was he wanted trapezoid inlays. It was Ted McCarty that designed Les Paul and I believe he also designed the SG, Flying V and Explorer as well. And he gets no credit whatsoever.

[@JohnBenoit46290]

such a great voice.

[@GuillermoSmyser]

Phil! I love add 9 chords or which ever is just 1,3,5,9 without the 7. So please when ever you want do them then do them!

[@BigCoolGuy2]

When Ever I see your Videos Im Always Drawn to that Lucille in the Corner.... that guitar Rocks !!

[@guitarkis49]

I DO NOT want the tabs....I need to know which COFFEE you drink!!! LOVE watching you play and sing....great rock voice!!!

[@earthvssoup26]

I love this guy

[@philx1111]

@2minutestomammoth "Air Hockey Champion of the World" chorus in drop D tuning: D Ab Eb F Bb C G - D pedal riff A E Eb Bb B C G - D pedal riff Bb BbM7 G9 (last 2 chords add an A note on the Dstring) x2

[@JamesBellx]

This guy is a legend!

[@ToxicTwinable]

"In this case it is AC/DC!"^^ ahaha love that guy man SG kicks asses... ;)

[@philx1111]

@bungmasterteddybear it is indeed a whammy bar but you unfold it and instead of an up and down motion actuating the tremolo, it's a side to side motion. i tried it before we shot and it knocked it out of tune but next time we'll try it out at the end of the vid.

[@frettedamericana]

@61SGman SURE!! Send us yours, and we'll do it! ;)

[@R3yK1d]

that's the reason why People say SG's are Les Paul's "brothers" By the way man you are an awesome musician

[@iroshi73]

e troppo bravo phil a un modo di suonare tutto al naturale e molto personale poi con le sg la padronanza e unica

[@samue1991]

4:05 Oh...My.....Gosh......best guitar I've ever heard

[@Argamen123]

bout time you guys gave phil a mic so he didnt have to shout ! keep up the good work ^_^

[@1954telecaster]

@Kreason95 -how can anyone HATE the gibson sg?? it's a very lovable guitar.

[@SashaTromsa]

wooooohohho guys! I can see a couple of Jazzmasters on the background! I'll be waiting...

[@StephenFiorentini]

got mine in either 2004 or 2005, best guitar ever.

[@Simto]

HAhahha 4:26 "TONEMASTER BABAAAYY!" Phil X you can melt my face any day.

[@Mastrastar]

great demo , Phil is one of those guys who make your day =)

[@101Volts]

Great new video! I don't have much to say honestly except I really enjoy the videos, Thanks a lot for them!

[@frettedamericana]

@61SGman BUMMER! Us either right now ;)

[@ronnieyeehaw]

I love this guy!

[@PANICBLADE]

you are totally correct. it was an effort to modernize the les paul by relieving weight, and improving comfortablility and playablity with the new sleeker body shape. also the early models had those vibrato systems on them, like this one, and some had 3 pickups. this was an attempt to recreate the success of the strat and appeal to more progressive players, hence the 3 pups, whammy, and sleeker body. les wasnt a fan so yeah, they called it sg (solid guitar).

[@whitestripebuzz]

me too man what a great tone that was.

[@souljer0]

Amen to not having to play what other people play on a type of guitar! I have a gretsch hollowbody and when I feel like it, I crank up the gain and treble and play ac/dc!

[@philx1111]

@MrTomZombie i ALWAYS use the bad monkey overdrive but just for solos so what you're hearing the rest of the time is just that amp. also... i have a Ultimate Attenuator Pro that sucks the juice from the head for rhythm volume and with a footswitch bypasses it for full volume for a solo boost.

[@GuillermoSmyser]

Wow, that has a great tone! And that crazy whammy bar. But dang it doesn't sound $26,000 good. But that's not the only reason you get it, I guess.

[@mshuptar]

Way to work in "American Woman" as much as possible! I never get tired of that solo!

[@SamLibman]

@frettedamericana HEY PHIL!!! where is tour tone nob set on the neck pup at 8:56 ?

[@guitarplayingdork100]

hey wuz up phil! just thought id let you know you are my FAVORITE GUITAR PLAYER!!!! anyway ya you and Jade Puget!

[@RisingSon011]

@SixStringHarmonies it's all about the wood . The particular batch of hardwood used by the manufacturer in a given yr . The grain of the wood and a number of factors make it impossible to duplicate it exactly

[@ThatsBadTV]

I have always wanted an SG!

[@brucewbowser]

Nothin like an SG, I LOVE mine ! !

[@kyzrvlhlm1995]

Phil, which pickups do you prefer you know PAFs, Strats, Teles, JMs, FilterTrons, DeArmonds ect. please reply

[@zplnrlz]

Oh wow oh wow I love that guitar!

[@blahMan83]

my dream guitar!

[@ethantheman512]

dude the other day i played and 62, sg. 2 p90s and a wraparound bridge. amazing

[@eleph4nt]

one of my dream guitars :)

[@acledfloyd]

@XecronDeathstorm That was the song Up Here by Powder. He showed how to play that part in the video at 8:07.

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

Do these videos get made after the store closes or, if not then, when ?

[@mariviscous]

i just love this guy xD

[@dobby240]

i absolutly love you phil xD You couldnt possibly poke me in the direction of a tab or a video demo of that air hockey champion song? im really feelin it

[@TheGutiargod]

you are fantastic at guitar seriously you are sooooooooo good i was like :OOOOOOOO

[@RiloRox]

how do they put the guitars to float the guitar case right in the beginning of the video im so confused :S

[@RocknRoll3837]

I love everything about this guitar, it fricken' rocks!! :D

[@pyro6957]

how do those trems work? i've seen them but i never understood the mechanics.

[@NickMercurio]

those harmonics up by the bridge pickup are also used to play the intro to how its made

[@Acronso]

@frettedamericana ok but was he using it as a boost or as an overdrive?

[@MrBarnardoo98]

What's the name of the song at the beginning of the video ? Can somebody please tell me.

[@frettedamericana]

@eleph4nt you should go to our web site for all the details... Just sayin'

[@oooMELTONooo]

i swear Phil, you were born with a guitar in your hands

[@projectspillman]

@PBANDSNOW its a sg with a les paul truss rod cover and the pickups are the same

[@tisMrJoo]

@XecronDeathstorm I think it's the one Phil played in the 'second lesson' called Up Here by his band Powder.

[@DSalois1]

I definitely understand that the tone master is a magic amp. And i know you guys get tons of questions asking "Where do i get one of those?!" i was wondering if there's a cheap alternative, or even if Phil has a suggestion to a maybe not exact, but close alternative. But none the less great vids americana dudes. and phil always rippin

[@Th3M1racl3]

I love this guy! HE'S AWESOME!!

[@JIPS1993]

The Beatle's George Harrison played an SG a similiar date to this one during 65' and 66', used on songs like "Paperback Writer" and "Rain"

[@hardrockerdave94]

@zombiegaara The lightness bit might be true, but SG stands for Solid Guitar, not Super Guitar

[@frowtime]

Were can someone find those first blues riffs, or are those pure improvisation?

[@lkzprd]

is phil x for hire ? like can i hire him to play for me so that i can steal all his amazing techniques ? hahaha love this guy !! :)

[@fjrabon]

@PBANDSNOW He explains it pretty clearly. They changed the design of the les paul to the SG style, then when the les paul came back in 68 they produced both, called the traditional design the les paul and the SG style the SG to differentiate them. So, it's a les paul, because in 1962 the Les Paul was the SG style.

[@stbreal]

someday please someone use the sideways trem no one ever shows it i dont even know how it works

[@TheColourfullUs]

Alright Phil, use that sideways vibrola man! I want to hear that thing! I love the playing though, always amazing. Killer tone too!

[@frettedamericana]

@bryanrocksDean read the description Bro

[@Pacafeliz]

@Kido4Life yeah... i'm looking all over the web for info/sounds on these. phil should demonstrate how that thing works! PLEASE!?

[@motorhead1995able]

@TolikRyumin i think it is the esp sg style he uses with the powder and the drills. i dnt know if i am correct

[@inventhead]

nice crunch tone

[@BernieGuitar]

This gave me a boost of energy, thanks man. Love to hear some more kings'x, maybe "cigarettes" :-)

[@BMXorHOMICIDE]

phil's a riot man.lol "dont worry ill take if off later"..lmfao

[@keineahnung1001]

what is more importent ? to have a mor expensive guitar or a more expensive amp? i have 500 euros so what do you think?

[@MTSwannson]

what is that acdc song? i ve heard like a thousand times but i cant remember it DX

[@nic0c]

man! did that guy just put a piece of gum on the vox AC30? ! AJAJA You Rock Phil!!

[@hellavik]

what is phil's settings for the tonemaster??

[@ifutureman]

You are an amusing fellow. Then again, being around all those guitars all day would make me giddy as hell too! But I can't play as well as you do :(

[@carrivera93]

@Fiddstx what kinda question is that? The guitar of course!

[@sakavanagh97]

HEY PHIL! can you show how to play "talk you off the edge" by the drills? THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! ROCK ON!

[@piewacket]

phil '' x '' your awesome !!!! your videos all ways make crack me up !!! how dose the trem bar work on that guitar ?

[@riseagainstmeatloaf]

Is it possible that someone might have lost the SG truss rod cover and replaced it with a Les Paul one? I have no doubt that FrettedAmericana is accurate, but they look exactly the same.

[@drakeluv92]

@keineahnung1001 it depends on if you need tweakability of tone or if you need a guitar that can handle radical playing. if you play a lot, all the time, get a guitar with a neck shape you like and a tone you want. if you play someone elses songs or want to achieve a particular sound, get a combo amp with built in effects.

[@kamaboko1]

Damn, FA...that guitar was a find. Great playing too, PhilX. After reviewing my tax return, I think I'm still about $16K shy of buying that guitar. LOL. Ya'll have a great day.

[@jaikwillis]

great voice !

[@farawayfettler]

OMG WHEN HE SWITCHED OVER TO THE TONEMASTER UNLEASH THE BEAST

[@Rlambdin1985]

have you ever thought of playing the AC30 distorted? that SG would sound amazing like that, especially if you were still playing with your fingers; and why do you never play Beautiful Apartment? that song is awesome!!

[@loganbramhall1989]

Man l Love SG's , Hey Phil ls lt Possible To Get A SG Tone With A Strat Bridge Humbucker? Like Settings And Stuff . Anything Close Would Be Awesome, l Had A SG But Traded lt :(

[@frettedamericana]

@ACDCv5150II Hey this is Dusty!! but Phil reads comments everyday and does tend to reply so look out for him prowling around!! look for philx1111

[@RiloRox]

probably my favorite phil x vid :D

[@DMoon34]

should have done some black keys with that neck pickup into the tonemaster with the gain on like 2. some slide also would be nice i bet phil plays slide really well

[@DominicSalzillo]

Can you demo that gold holowbody near the vox ac30
