Guys, you're just gonna have to get used to the fact Phil isn't coming back. He obviously can't be replaced, but it's no need to take it out on those who came afterwards.

[@stipeur]

Frettedamericana is back baby! The new guy is great

[@vladimirazhgibtsev2092]

I agree

[@powwowrokstar]

Michael did a good job. And it's funny because his personality reminds me of my second son in law, mellow and laid back rocker who knows his stuff, whereas My oldest son in law definitely has a personality similar to Phil X. Both are great and awesome. Rock on guys!

[@MateoNomas1990]

Nobody seems to understand that this chanel has never been about the GUITAR and the man, but the opposite. It's about the MAN with the rare guitar.

[@Infraredx]

This guy is so chill. Good choice having him on!

[@hootguitars]

Ultra Lxrd very nice. Enjoying your licks.

[@jumpman2326]

Ultra Lxrd That’s Michael grant

[@deanmolko5892]

This dude is a beast!

[@morgandukes8889]

That's an understatement. Truly. I know.

[@deborahgrabien3125]

I've got a 2014. Love my Mama Pearl. I've got four Zemmies and I love them all, but the PFR is the best.

[@GiorgioVerzotto]

Like the new guy. Keep posting more video fellas.

[@wadepatton2433]

I expect he worked that whole rack of guitars in one afternoon and we'll be a month or two seeing those videos released.

[@brianmckenzie1318]

Thanks Michael Grant, Dustin Jack, and Fretted Americana!!!! \m/

[@GeetarSi]

Glad to see more content from FA! This is a tough gig and Michael is trying to make it is own. Good on him. Personally I’d have backed off the gain on the amp a little but it still sound great. More content please!

[@MateoNomas1990]

God I miss Phil

[@theburn966]

Mateo Contreras I agree

[@hops2099x]

Mateo Contreras 😂 you don’t gotta miss him he is Instagram and you can go see him play with Bob Jovi bruh

[@frettedamericana]

You can see him on tour in Bon Jovi

[@brutalblues]

I was thinking the same thing. Phil, you listening?

[@morgandukes8889]

There are more tact and professional ways to express general discomfort if your narrowed tolerance can't bear still nevertheless a fluid guitarist/multi-talented producer of his own work (while) having the balls to still take up promoting a whole other company on the side proving charismatic adequacy at least which exceeds any rate of opinion frankly. In this industry, you can pick apart anyone but if you're not busting your ass yourself or that person, withhold the negative predictabilities. It does nothing for artists who regardless of opinion, deserve to be heard out of how many artists from 'commercial' genres that actually (are) shitty or overrated. Grant gives gusto. That should be enough. P.S. @frettedamericana My most adored episode by far & it's only of few! Both for the divine demeanor of the new showman & variety in merchandise. Beautiful. Keep up! Pearly whites are ear to ear.

[@riSOEzkisofreniko]

im happy you guys are back doesnt matter if phil x isnt here

[@srfBoris157]

Damn that thing is gorgeous, and Mike made it sing. Good job FA!

[@MostBever]

I dig this, more videos please!

[@PanamaJack666]

Great work! Cheers for uploading again, so happy to see this channel back uploading! I love all guys you've had on. Will there be any more with Jared in the future?

[@MGU585]

I like this guy, hope to see more vids

[@Josbornevonosborne]

The presenter did a far better job this time...

[@malcolmadams2105]

When he says it get's jazzy it actually sounds awesome for that Blues Rock Vibe; I dig it there."

[@sefton1972]

Tasty player indeed. Nice chops.

[@mostlypostie1]

Great video! Great that FA is back. The new guy is cool.

[@danielohagan66]

And just like that, Michael has settled in and he’s killed it 🙌🏼 especially when he included some t.rex

[@PunkHardSisters]

Nice to see you're back with a new host, missed you guys.

[@JimSlimjimCassi]

It's like when they had to find a replacement for Randy Rhodes, give the guy a break, give him some time to find his groove. Sure Phil had that ADHD little kid energy, and was pretty funny. This guy has potential, and i'm not looking for another Phil clone. so Mike, you do you... good luck.

[@paulsimmons5726]

Reminds me of Ronnie Wood's that he played during the 70's.

[@arielista]

Always bringing killer players and equally killer guitars

[@tristannolan85]

that guitar is crazy. definitely looks like something only a rockstar would have lol straight hollywood

[@Guitars77OA6]

I think this guy is pretty chill. Sometimes the way he speaks bothers me, but he is pretty good. I think it's good to keep in mind that Phil wont be back, and we wont get another Phil. Phil is Phil and Michael Grant is Michael Grant. This guy is laid back seeming and does a great job of making sure that every aspect of the guitar is checked over before you leave the video.

[@johnaustin6673]

R.I.P. TOM

[@knedy]

I was close to buying an old Zemaitis really cheap a couple of years ago, not as fancy as that one, but the emblem on the headstock had fell off and the seller had no idea what it was and didn't advertise it as anything special but the details and parts all was correct. SO anyways it was summer, the auction ended at night, I woke up the day after with a hangover and someone else getting a $400 deal on a real Zemaitis.

[@6arcsn1sky]

As much as I admire and miss Phil, I also miss Jared.

[@hops2099x]

I like this dude; beautiful guitar loved the petty jam

[@Duvaro13]

Great to see new videos. This guy is cool, just needs to relax and have some more fun. Give him more coffee, or beer, or whatever...

[@OLLEnatior]

That riff is deadly, I need to learn it! What song is it?

[@Richard-rk7zi]

I like this guy, Better than the last.

[@udovdh]

The last left, did he explain why?

[@Richard-rk7zi]

I know that the guy who came after Phil got a lot of hate for coming off like a Phil X wannabe. At least that is what I seen in the comment section. If that is why I'm not really sure, but definitely a possibility.

[@vladimirazhgibtsev2092]

agree

[@amadetto2271]

People didn’t like that he played without a pick

[@Neil-Aspinall]

Surely you jest Rich?

[@MisterJawaman]

It's Friday!

[@edwardvara9993]

I like this guy. Much better than jerrod in presenting the materials. NOW Fretted America more videos Please. Thank you

[@HaKazzaz]

I just want frettedamericana to keep posting and stop the long breaks.. Michael is cool btw :)

[@frettedamericana]

we do our best, they're expensive to produce and it's hard finding the right players that the youtube faithful wont eat alive!

[@UnknownEntryRetype]

Phil X is/was great. But, dare I say it, I think I prefer Michael Grant for this. It's a bit less manic now! 😂

[@amadetto2271]

Yo but this guitar sounds sicc

[@kcbr7048]

Like Michael Grant, but wish he would move through the guitar quicker.

[@panteralgrave]

What’s that song in the intro? Fuckin ballin’ yo

[@coeycruz]

Michael Grant & The Assassins - Death of Me.

[@junkfoodisgood69]

bring phil x back.

[@user-ij2xg9yy8h]

well I love it I fire bro

[@Dailyvids25]

Please don't say what a guitar is good for! Like good for chords rhythm etc. Strat's where not known to be able to do what Hendrix did with them. There are many more examples.

[@sethfryslie2002]

What happened to Phil?!?!? 😞

[@jasoncamino76]

I heard he joined some cover band from New Jersey ;)

[@ferox965]

@@jasoncamino76 That band from New Jersey might just do ok someday...

[@ChristyLeighArt]

Thats a pretty hot fucking guitar!!

[@GODZSTR8SHOOTER02]

Bring back Phil X

[@Sco3000]

Phil is in Bon Jovi you fuckstick

[@wadepatton2433]

He got a gig yo (pays better, and good exposure I hear).

[@YouCanCallMeXoe]

It's been two years, so how about shut up and let Phil have a career in Bon Jovi? :P You don't need to be a biased fuck. Grow up and adapt, or get out.

[@GODZSTR8SHOOTER02]

Bon Jovi sucks.

[@wadepatton2433]

certainly, but it works for PX and PX don't suck.

[@tjallingdejong9645]

Seems like a sweet kid ! No Phil off course but that´s ok ...would be be nice if they invited Rob Chappers again for an episode together with this guy

[@jordandelacruz1866]

Love Phil X but this kid is not bad! Jarod Nichols whatever his name was , is a good player but stepped in some big shoes with too similar a Phil vibe that was too soon! I miss Phil but I miss the 76 JMP more lol!!

[@Neil-Aspinall]

I'll give you 1 more chance Mick.

[@MoonshineSazerac]

8 minutes of watching a man's pinky finger stay perfectly still. :D
