Phil The Drill with a1969 Gibson Les Paul Thrill!!

[@wolfie316781]

I love this man’s guitar playing and vibe

[@georgeparkins777]

Man, I've never seen anyone who can play both guitar parts to "Acrobat" on the same guitar at the same time. That's incredible! I'm nearly sure that higher part is dubbed in on the original.

[@alemichaca]

Miss him loooooadz

[@noahbtwofouronethree3225]

I literally come back to this video on a regular basis for this sole reason. I just realized tho it’s because he had the Guitar in drop C sharp as opposed to C sharp standard like the original. So it’s easier to play the octaves. Still very cool and impressive. I love phil

[@alexpaulyoungthemuso3937]

Yeah I learned how to play both parts to the song by watching his hands in this video, it's actually how I discovered the song He started playing the riff and I thought "Fuck me that is fuuuuuuucking sick" So happy and grateful to Phil x whenever I play thos riff And I think you're right it sounds like an over dub in the studio track

[@chreld]

I can really appreciate Phil's ability to sing and play Unchained.

[@carlos2521]

"lets use it before it dies", lol, .... Phil, guitar & p-90 Rock!. ..... timeless

[@theoriginalliquid]

Thank you Phil, for making my day....again. No matter how shyte things go at work, whenever I watch one of your videos I'm back on track and ready to rock! Greetings from SA.

[@wickrider]

was this in 2012? Really? man how times flies. I always loved Phill, and sometimes, a guy like me just want to listen to Phill play an awesome Les Paul. oh and...''sounds like a 45 played at 33...'' the internet thinks:....crikets....cricket sounds....crickets sound.... like 4% of the audience has an idea of what Phill is talking about. Records kids!...Records!... Love ya Phill, hope all is well.

[@observestudios7303]

yeah what was he talking about there? :D 45 played at 3?

[@observestudios7303]

oh he's talking about records, never mind!

[@jimboslice___]

Heh heh, 2024 here…😉

[@ShelsleySpecial]

P90's! What cleans! what growl! what versatility! Why aren't they more popular than standard singles and humbuckers? Hail a P90 revolution!

[@John.Doe42069]

The perfect way to start the Weekend? Watching Phil X! Awesome every week

[@gretscher]

This guy is amazing. It's amazing how well he plays. He kids a lot and you might not think he's gonna break into songs like he does, but when he does I'm impressed. How about you?

[@keiranbradley3222]

This is the second version with the wider headstock, the first model in 68 had the normal Les Paul shape but shallower headstock angle. this one has that too, gotta say it sounds sweet.

[@larrybethune3909]

You Phil. Loved the Guess Who riffin. I remember learning that stuff in the basement back in 1973 along with Nashville Sneakers.

[@GreyBandanna]

When I'm 40 I want to enjoy life just like this guy: Like a 18 yrs old guy with a new guitar.

[@chrstphbch]

Greatest Phil X vid in a long time. Dig that heavy tone from the Les Paul and the Evil Robot.

[@roker587]

First: This guitar sounds just amazing, I'm not a fan of P-90s, but these sound awesome Second: Every time I watch one of Phils videos I get a huge urge for playing, it's just that his energy and playing is really inspiring. And now I find myself in a dilemma, study for tests or rock out? I think I'll go with the second :D

[@josephmilwee5603]

P-90's don't get enough love

[@cavedavesmash]

I honestly believe this is one of the best sounding guitars I've ever heard from frettedamericana

[@philx1111]

yo man, you gotta remember when we shoot a vid, we shoot 8-10 in a day. that means vids for 8-10 weeks meaning nothing's going to change in 8-10 weeks so have a little patience. also.... why we can't turn up my lavalier mic when i'm singing is 'cause the ER was so loud, it got recorded onto that mic so when my voice got turned up so did the not so pleasant lavalier recording of the ER 4 feet away. all this will be resolved for the next batch probably in 4 weeks. thanks for all the comments.

[@GunsNRosesliveson]

I love you're videos and adore Phil watched for over a year now, but i miss the old camera angle i got so use to i lol can we have it back pleasseee rock on guys

[@BASICISAB]

AWESOME! PHIL JUST KEEPS GETTIN' BETTER. THAT GUIT SOUNDS AMAZING.

[@lets_rock_it]

This was how i get to know about Phil X back in those days still a fan Hes one of the most enterteining guys ever and a beast of guitar player

[@alemichaca]

Miss you so much 💔🙁🙁🙁💔😜

[@tompatrick5542]

Phil, I get into a great mood listening to you and your crazy shit. It's dialed in. You rocked that gold top in drop C. Never seice to amaze me with your riffs and selection of songs. Take care until next time

[@theultimaterockr]

Hell yeah! Thanks for the request Phil!

[@TheAbrahamsRock]

Nice to see u again in the shop!

[@elshiftos]

Thanks for 'Neon Kinghts' - I still have my original 45 of this song!

[@MrBac755]

I always come prepared and watch while I play. :)

[@headwhop26]

Congrats on 25 MILLION VIEWS!

[@RoyYehezkel]

Sounds AMAZING!!!

[@cardsin2005]

This was the best review yet! That les sounds killer! Phil is the best!

[@svartsjokolade]

If you're asking about what he plays around the 5 minute mark it's "A national acrobat" by Black Sabbath.

[@RelaxNplay64]

This guitar sounds so awesome great video

[@RedroomStudios]

slick edit at 11:56! loved all the Sabbath stuff and Unchained was awesome too! Phil was really feeling it on this day!

[@유승호-f3c]

Amazing sound

[@pb999999999]

The Sabbath riff sounds so good. Those p90's truly rock!!

[@sleanidraC]

Best sounding Fretted Americana demo to date! The tone is so fat, yet it's still very crunchy. Loving the tunes too! Picked up my guitar and started playing some Sabbath myself.

[@Dylan41292]

This is my favorite guitar i think, out of all the fretted americana vidoes! Such an awesome sound from the amp and P-90s :P

[@MrDannDee]

makes my day every time a video is uploaded! great video - phil you fucking rock!!

[@DrChuck45]

This is probably my favourite phil X video together with the Gretsch acoustic video!

[@adam1othman]

@rlowe97 The deluxe started in 69 the p90 standard was stopped in 70 and in 71 Gibson released a 54 reissue called the standard 58

[@roker587]

This is one of the best fretted americana videos ever. Do more videos like this, and by that I mean rock harder, do more heavy stuff! You guys have been neglecting that part of rock music in your last videos. I do wanna hear Sabbath on Fender Mustang, just because I'm interested in how it would sound like :D... Anyway, I love you guys, rock on \m/

[@5150stephen]

i just noticed it too, the other angle is better, you get to see more, it makes phil look cooler as you can see him properly rockin out, instead of just like seein the guitar and his face lol, and then theres the way the light catches the guitar, it was so much better :)

[@StevieBGoode]

Might be the greatest guitar I've ever heard.

[@smokepeddler]

VH change sounded soo good with out flange effect

[@meir123]

What's the name of the last song? Around 11:30 ?

[@IronMonkee]

Around 11:30 is Neon Knights by Slack Babbath

[@machone7I]

That's one of the best sounding guitars i've heard.

[@philfrank9226]

He is really a good entertainer and guitarist.

[@HodgiPodgi]

Best FA vid in ages!!!!

[@Akira161]

Phil, you make my day better, thanks, that Neon Knights was *bark* perfect!

[@E2EJames]

my PHIL PHIX lovin every minute of it...come to Louisiana man!!!!!

[@gdrugg2006]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. I've seen it on the Fretted Americana website. A really crazy piece of history! They definitely SHOULD do a video of that.

[@SandpiperN121PP]

Simply the best Phil X Video Yet! Love the Sabbath and the Van Halen! I now have a new love tor the drop C Sharp! Keep rockin' Phil! Your the bestest!:)

[@JimiJam74]

Those that pick up a guitar and try to copy Phil playing Sabbath 'National Acrobat' will realise the trickiness of the unequal 2-guitar-part-harmony-interval-spacing - Top-Phil-X-Respect! :D

[@anthonyandrea3968]

Wait .. the B String trick at 7.20 ? I had no clue ... learned something new today. Thanks Phil.

[@ziad1980]

These days I tend to listen to Sabbath less than I used to because I get my fill with these videos

[@Xen8]

The best lp sound Ive ever heard

[@akilluminati47]

This is such a great video thanks Phil break on through man

[@twinsmm1]

It's Octave day!

[@Gutierrez_Felipe]

ocTAVE

[@TRNFloyd]

his tone... i want it.. i want it now!!!!

[@pooritech]

I think this the best sounding guitar they did!

[@ericknebel5905]

Have to agree. Always come back to this video.

[@telecasterbear]

In 1980, I purchased one of these. 1 piece mahogany back, chunky 1 piece mahogany neck. The finish on the face had been removed and left natural. The saddles were nylon. The machines had been swapped out for an old set of grovers. It was my first les paul. I paid the full asking price of $250.00. The only part of it that I still have is the lightweight tailpiece, that I now have on my 1973 goldtop deluxe.

[@GreekGuru74]

+telecasterbear why'd you sell it?

[@telecasterbear]

+GreekGuru74 I was paying off bills and getting ready to buy our first house. the house is now paid for, and I have a very nice 73 gold top.

[@PrehistoricBeasts]

Hey Fretted Americana, can you please do the Billy Bo and some ZZ Top? Thanks anyway for the videos.

[@flyflung]

izzat a billy bo Gretsch in the back on the bottom on Philex's left? could you do that one what ever it is?

[@MoPower2112]

Do some more basses! I'd be down for that!

[@1990EAM]

what's the riff at 2:50? thanks! always discovering new songs with Phil.

[@RiloRox]

i often dig songs played by phil x more than the original, same here

[@seansmith2748]

hey phill next time you show a guitar can you slow down that awsome swamp riff at like 2 and a half minuites thanks. love these videos

[@shredster]

Anyone know that riff at 3:00 ? Heard it a few times. Sounds like life in the fast lane but it's not right?

[@danakerman]

Andrew was pointing out that F and E# are the same thing (enharmonic). I don't think he was speaking of their FUNCTION. The OP asked how to tune down to drop C#, to which robolew correctly replied to tune down a half step/tone. Gibbs apparently had a problem calling it a half tone instead of half step. I merely pointed out the two terms are interchangeable. The only syntax mistake robolew made was he should have said to tune the low string down an ADDITIONAL whole step to C#.

[@pumps8989]

Drop c# is the tune I use for most of my songs... and I´m happy phil plays it :D

[@eduardo0796]

Dude, those P-90s are hot!!

[@AGL23]

Does ANYBODY know where I can get the tab for this version of A National Acrobat? At 5:21? PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

[@Traceursniper]

PD: could be really cool if when phil plays a song you put the title and the performer in the description, in that way you won't get so many answer for the name of the songs

[@Wired912]

Gosh. He nailed that EVH tone.

[@ICMICM]

Phil, what is the BEST guitar you've ever played, in your opinion?

[@weakfilmmaker]

Anyone can tell me two or three songs that Phil just finish playing?

[@johnmcchavs]

Hey Phil. Always a great pleasure to see you play : a talented, happy, great man playing great guitars ! When I feel down, I put a drills record on (both are on my phone) and smile comes back immediately to my face. Greatings from France, if you're in New Orleans those days, we may meet, as I'll be there with with wife and kid to visit a friend in Louisiana :) Have a kickass day, and thanks for making me want to PLAY so bad :)

[@phatmangoo]

aww man i wanted to join phil at camp rock but i'm to old. this guitar is so HAM

[@Bldyiii]

which gauge/guitar setup works for a les paul with C# tuning?

[@kurtlonde5892]

... Oh man... the guitar is sick..!!

[@RevMishka]

There is only one Phil X...just great! Phil smokes this '69 LP GT...very nice!

[@VVGer1872]

where can i get the tab for the swamp riff?

[@TimBirkenholz]

My day is really kickass now!

[@BearishZach]

Kinda random but what tubing Is Runnin With the Devil actually in? Half step down?

[@Hawkifyed]

Every day is octave day for Phil.

[@mick68yamaha]

awwwwwwwsome phill, you make me wanna learn guitar!!!!!!!

[@FilmStuff100]

What is he playing at 2:50 ?

[@josh4126]

whats the first riff/swamp song thing he did called ?

[@nottrix3574414]

Could you guys do the unreversed firebird? Please and thank you

[@Akira161]

kind of, you have to tune your guitar to Eb and then drop the low Eb to Db or C#

[@GazMoz78]

This is a seriously goood guitar, sounds amazing! Phil on eXtra fire!

[@MuppetJunior]

Phil rocks my socks! What is that song at the very beginning?

[@tiddlestoot]

Hey there's a Gold explorer on your website could you do a review of it? or the natural 3 piece top Les Paul both of those guitars look amazing and frankly I will own one of them someday so I would love you to do a review :L

[@hapsara]

Can someone tell me what song is that he's playing at 5.15

[@Noah-hq5rs]

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.

[@aleksandersucharski]

9:00 the sustain of those harmonics really tell a lot about the quality of this guitar... remembering there are not humbucking pickups, it tells like even more.

[@DeadMusket]

you should mic. you vocals cuz your and AMAZING vocalist with AMAZING range. seriously do it, i wanna hear that piercing rock voice of yours!

[@eetfuk96]

What a great way to start my friday! :)

[@nikosk.8216]
