PHIL X AND PETE THORN GUITCON 2017 Pete and Phil Teach You How To Kill

[@PeteThorn]

Hi guys, hey I wanted to address a comment I made in the video. When i was talking about my in ear pack cutting out, I mentioned that then i had "some little guy behind me, changing my pack". I was trying to kind of paint a Spinal Tap-esque picture of the awkwardness I felt in that moment. Now, the guy that came out to help me, one of the monitor techs, was actually small in stature. So I was referencing that- I'm 6 foot and he was much shorter and I think we were a funny sight in that moment... I was not consciously trying to demean him. But, in listening back to the words i used, I could certainly see how it could come off as being an insensitive comment- why point out someone's size? it was totally unnecessary to the story, and it could certainly be misconstrued or taken a few ways. So I wanted to apologize and say i meant no disrespect, but I was clumsy with my words, and I will try and do better next time. Thanks for watching...

Dude, we know there isn’t a bad bone in your body! Honestly, I didn’t misconstrue it that way at all because I know how you are as evidenced by your various social media accounts. Keep the vids coming! Love ‘em!

[@yerushalaimnehereset]

We love you Pete, everything is good. :)

[@gearzilla4112]

Y'all don't have to be all p.c. w us, bro.. you're one of the humblest dudes on YT

[@Boogieplex]

Your a class act Pete, the fact your even conscious of remarks as such proves this. This is a remarkable video,phil x is awsome as well!

[@lvpg2943]

It's a shame when the "real you" comes out when you least want it to. We all screw up at some point.

[@MrChuckd6]

The Pete and Phil show needs to be a thing guys

[@stevensbrendan]

like watching Madlib & Dilla have chat over the MPC

[@srhatfield]

I would love to see them make some guitar rock songs together and have short jams on KZbin. I wouldn't be able to miss a single one...

[@Malleuss]

Never ever remove this video. In fact, make it a Blu-ray. The chemistry, the licks, the ideas, it's all perfect.

[@TyroneLoganMusic]

Kinsman And then we were blessed with volume 2 in 2018. Their chemistry is phenomenal.

[@5000rgb]

@@TyroneLoganMusic It's amazing how well they work together. I've seen Phil's over the top[ energy on the Fretted Americana videos and Pete's videos are more subdued but they really work together well here.

[@TyroneLoganMusic]

@@5000rgb - Well said, and I couldn’t agree more.

[@ruthlesscutthroat4030]

you’re looking at pro canada team right here

[@bladerunner12]

Phil has this immense ability to put things together in ways no one else would think of. He's gotta be one of the more creative shredders out there in his phrasing and note selection.

[@ZenDriveSeven]

Great chemistry between them. Fun to watch!

[@bluwng]

ZenDriveSeven that's cus their pros not KZbin gear demo wankers

[@SaintFredrocks]

Actually they have both been demoing gear for years on KZbin.

[@jeddak]

two Canucks

[@Nostreborlatsyrhc]

Most natural and relaxed exchange on You Tube. Quality.

[@jfrockon]

You never fail to teach AND entertain Pete... Thank you

[@dewaynehenson9149]

Awesome guys! Sounds like conversations we should all be having - no ego, no one-upmanship, just industrial grade guitar geeking!

[@Claimjumper55]

Guitcon just went from really cool to frickin' awesome!!! This is the highlight for me. I'll probably watch this a dozen times to work on some of these great tips.

[@jasonbone5121]

Agree 100%. Watching for my second time right now.

[@yjmsrv]

I love Phi's comment- "be the guitar player on stage you'd want to see" - That's all you need to know or do.

[@5000rgb]

His energy and enthusiasm are inspirational. Guy just has a great outlook.

[@sn95_mustang_garage]

You guys are good together. Good segment.

[@blessed7927]

Love Petes professionalism and slick look, and especially his slowing down the licks for his audience- hes always aware of that and I am alway inspired. He is so easy to listen to- humble pro AND hip.

[@keysersoze3977]

This is fucking great to hear 2 players talk about little quirks that we hardly get to hear in vids like this..

[@RipVDub]

Whoever thought of putting these two getting together was a freaking GENIUS!

[@leftpastsaturn67]

Putting aside the obvious talent in that room, it's the mutual respect shown for each others craft that marks these gents out as complete professionals in my book. Thanks for a very entertaining 49 minutes fellas.

[@BoudreauGuitars]

The world needs a collaboration with you two guys!

[@WoodesosGuitarMods]

As a hobby guitar player, I have to look for reasons to keep playing every day. I used to LOVE when Phil was on YT and miss seeing his videos BIG TIME. There hasn't been anyone since Phil to replace the energy and excitement he put in every video. It's amazing seeing him here in these videos. As a fellow Canadian, I wish you both amazing continued success. Glad to be a new subscriber to Pete as well. Crazy good player and much needed inspiration to keep playing. Thanks for a super entertaining video!

[@5000rgb]

His enthusiasm is infectious. He had so much fun and that made it fun to watch.

[@pements155]

This is what I don't have in my life. A friend around my same level that I can talk, trade licks, and learn from. This is the next best thing. Thank you. Please keep doing this as much as possible.

[@MonkeyDolphin]

This is great - two guitar dudes talking shop. Reminds me of my buds and me geeking out on guitar over beers and hot tube amps.

[@mervolicious]

Hands down one of the best videos I've seen on KZbin ever. Great chemistry, great playing, very valuable tipps for any guitar player no matter which level they're at. Thank you both for great entertainment. And shame on me: As not a real fanboi of anyone I didn't know any of you two before GuitCon and now I am happy to have "discovered" both of you. Thank you!

[@JenniferPricci]

So true Pete, he's totally confident. But also 0% cocky. That's a rare combo these days and I think that counts for a lot.

[@rodrigozamo]

I love how Pete is very proper in his videos and he's with friends and curses just like the rest of us. Phil, quit your Bon Jovi gig... I need this to be a full time thing of you 2 just hanging out together every single day doing your thing. This would be a daily show worth watching.

[@MurrayWilliams]

What a GREAT video. The first part of this video is the best explanation of what it means to be a professional musician I’ve ever heard. What we do is fun. It’s rare if we’re ever in a perfect situation. Don’t get mad and remember to have fun. After all, your getting paid to play music.

[@kamaboko1]

Hands down one of the better conversations I've seen between known guitar players.

[@PeteThorn]

kamaboko1 glad u liked it, was a blast sitting down with Phil

[@siriusfun]

Great to see two awesome Canadian shredders together here! Cheers from Toronto, Pete! I used to jam with Phil at his Dad's restaurant in Brampton back in the early 90s; he hasn't changed a bit!

[@guilhermoblanco9682]

Pete and Phil are amazing, they are real guitar players and not just KZbinrs guys, I've seen them on the internet for a long time ... from the beginning the two gave guitar class

[@treyxaviermusic]

It was damn cool getting to hang out with you duders at Guitcon, can't wait for next year!

[@Maxx61]

The reverence these world class musicians have for Eddie tells you all you need to know about his influence on so many guitarists even decades later. You can put your fingers on the same dots but swinging like Eddie is g-damn hard work.

[@DelusionalVoice]

These guys can pick up on each other's ideas so easily... very cool to watch

[@dvdpz89]

Finally someone who can keep up with Phil X. Great job Pete. Watched every second.

[@instructormaint8423]

This is like truly being a fly on the wall. Thanks Guys!

[@iansnyder274]

two of my favorites...love these guys.....Phil is like the mad scientist where rules are just limitations and preconceived patterns etc...he is such an inspiration....love his approach!!!

[@icenic_wolf]

I had to un-thumbs-up this video just so that I could give it a thumbs-up a second time. Killer!

[@jone5256]

Great episode. 2 killer guitarists with tons of real life experience to share.

[@stp6641]

Was awesome to see you two feeding off each other and pinching ideas to go and work. This is why I love to jam with players of all different skill levels and musical backgrounds. Always something to learn and inspiration is never too far away!

[@aixpert291]

Scott T hey!!

[@BoyntonProAudio]

Pete! This is incredible! Grinning from ear to ear watching you and Phil. Stealing all of these lick for sure. Thanks for such amazing content!

[@PeteThorn]

BoyntonProAudio thank u!!

[@erpece]

THIS is hero sh!t :-) Two amazing guitarists AND two amazingly relaxed dudes...

[@scooterlow43]

I love when pete keeps saying .:I gotta work on that! Classic

[@RezaKhan2024]

2 of my favourite guitarists who make everything sound good and interesting

[@findJLF]

Wow..". Compulsory viewing. I'll be coming back to this for study! Pete, when you have friends like this... no wonder you're killing it on guitar! Hahahahaa

[@ForViewingOnly]

AWESOME! Best video I've seen from GuitCon. I was engrossed for the entire thing. Thanks guys!

[@NiskRanThawll]

ForViewingOnly guitcon had me engorged :)

[@sebastianboyce678]

I cannot WAIT to see Phil X on Tim and Pete's Guitar Show!

[@redrock1963]

I've always loved Phil X for his awesome guitaring and his sense of humor. I now see that he has a technical understanding and it just ramps up my appreciation of the guy.

[@kentuckybourbonfade4264]

Two guitar masters together. Surely there's a touring concert that these guys and other youtube stars could put together!

[@niptodstan]

Phil's playing has gone up a notch. So good now.

[@lgmnowkondo938]

I can't explain how much I love hearing you two talk about and play EVH....I am totally still in awe of the first 6 records! The words you use...like groove and balls...it's so freaking true. When I listen to I'm the One....I just can't believe anyone could just play like that...with attitude timing and groove at that age! I can also feel how much you love playing his riffs...as do I! I would just love to meet Eddie someday...he'd be my #1 pick if I could have dinner with anyone alive or dead. He clearly sees the instrument entirely differently than anyone before him. I think you're both brilliant too...big fan of you both...and a fellow Canuck!

[@YMESYDT]

This is awesome! I'd love to see you talk more like this in general

[@johnreid2962]

Imagine going for a drink with these guys. What a great time you would have!

[@guitarnerd_luke]

Great video! Love to watch you guys =)

[@DennisAlvarezMusic]

I've become aware of you two guys for two or three years now. You guys are both MONSTERS! You both have my total respect!

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

The dynamic duo. Probably my two favorite people to listen to while they're talking guitar, or just about anything else, seriously.

[@Chrismayo1981]

This is the BEST thing I've ever seen on KZbin... every guitarist needs to see this.

[@anxiousmindmusic]

These two were the big signing. Getting a video like this with a Guitcon banner behind - fair play Henning

[@sportsportsport]

I enjoyed this so much. Nice when BOTH subjects in the video are the real deal.

[@markitu]

Phill's tips on performance over correct playing while performing a gig are spot on. You gotta give what moves the audience. Correct playing is important but far seconds the stage presence IMHO.

[@gordonparrishguitar413]

This is what it's all about, man. Two killer guitarists just appreciating each other. Zero competition. There's some shitty stuff going on in the guitar community at the moment...i wish there was just more of this. We all do it for the same reason. You guys are exactly how it should be and we could all take note. Thanks, man

[@Bikewithlove]

This is only the second Phil X interview I’ve seen and so far the man is a wellspring of valuable guitar tips. Phil & Pete are al I need at this point for tech & playing ideas

[@gibbanz22]

This is like the 10th time I've watched this, and every time I learned something new to try on guitar. WE NEED A PETE AND PHIL SHOW!

[@emach07]

Dang, just now watching this in 2022. Two of my favorite guitarists and personalities. Fantastic!!!

[@heritagelegacy]

I love hearing pros like these guys talking about monitor issues and working through them. It just shows that anyone can deal with glitches at any level but how you work through them is what defines a professional artist. And…..both of these guys seem so down to earth and genuine, good stuff!

[@joeythompson1517]

Great look into the minds of these two! Very enjoyable video.

[@perfectzero7]

Love this kind of stuff... I'm from Guatemala and i've been learning a lot of these guys from years... Amazing Interview.

[@jfrockon]

Pete, you should have been in "Hired Gun"... Love you guys together.. Rock on!

[@sky-magnet]

I met the cast of Hired Gun at SXSW when I met Matt Pinfield on a street corner in Austin with my band...he was hosting the panel and invited us to come hang with him. Really cool experience. Pete would have been amazing to see there.

[@hiatuso8260]

Great video. Really inspiring to see y'all get into it and still learn from one another. Very cool!

[@annanimmitty4098]

Here it is January 27th 2022 and I JUST came across this video.... And It's STILL F'n AWESOME!!!! I feel quite fortunate to have came across this - Blessed I'll say!!

[@lecroixband]

If this was weekly,I would support,as I do That Pedal Show,missed ya PhilX.

[@mr.breakfast_3theoneandonl25]

Everybody should use the phrase "The power of rock and the majesty of roll"! It should be required of every rock guitarist to say it once every day :3

[@kingkpin100]

Finally! Two of my favorite players!!!

[@Cigarsnguitars]

2 of my favorite guitar players out there today. Love all the teaching moments they’ve put out over the years. I’ve learned a lot of really great licks from these guys.

[@DareBear2099]

You guys should do a monthly podcast and or KZbin show. You two work well together and I could honestly watch and listen to you two for hours. Also being in situations where my pack has gone out mid song, I lost my sh*t listened to that segment! So freaking true!

[@lawrenceriley1526]

This video was a blast to watch/listen to! There's a lot of great stuff here!

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

love to hear a proper collab between you guys,you are both legendary

[@TheCjbowman]

Just came across this vid - two of my favorite guitar players, influencers, and people. What a pleasure to share some time hanging out with you guys! Love and Light ☀️💕

[@vanillagorilla4007]

Man I love both you guys! Incredible players.

[@fredbeck23]

Amazing content, do this again guys!!!!!

[@seancarson6481]

I know this video came out awhile back. But in watching this I felt like a fly on the wall and got to see the working minds of 2 great guitarist.

[@garystackhouse5787]

This is the best thing on KZbin!! Pete and Phil together is the most amazing thing... and you're both Canadian, once again proving we Canucks ROCK!!

[@tone-talk]

Great video Pete and Phil! This was a lot of fun to watch. Hope to have you both on Tone-Talk soon

[@Za7a7aZ]

Know both you guys a few years now and it is such a treat to see you talk this brotherly about whats guitar in your lives... thanks.

[@edouardosp-j9641]

Two well matched killer guitarists!🎸🎸🎸🎸👍

[@gktii]

amazing!! Two of my favs...unreal talent right there...

[@prestobeen]

Pete and Phil are two guitar players that I truly admire for their playing but also for their attitude towards their craft and their fans. Of all the gems I can take from this video, the one that stands out to me is their admiration towards each other's playing. When I watch these guys play I droll wishing I could play like them. It was neat to see them get excited the same way at each other's skill.

[@TonyHookedonVanlife]

Nice to hear some pro experiences from the road

[@shorerocks]

GuitCon rocks for making this happen. THX!

[@odgeUK]

24mins in and I never want this to stop. MORE of this please.

[@marksvideochannel3592]

Awesome video, probably one of the only times I have seen Phil fully engage with anyone else. As stated in someone else's comments, will watch this many times! Thanks to Pete, Phil and Guitcon.

[@PeteThorn]

+Marks Video Channel thanks! Glad u dig it

[@sam127001]

this was great ! some of the tips were very helpful.

[@777Yoni]

That dissonant climb at 31:49 made my morning.

[@barkomulch]

Two of my favorite musicians make for an EPIC Saturday guitar nerd-out. Thanks you guys - made my day!

[@xthexadvantagex]

Man the two badass LED amps beside the two badass players looks awesome

[@SakariKempas]

Absolutely loved this one! Get him on Tim & Pete's show ASAP, Phil is amazing!

[@Jeffum111]

Pete is awesome and Phil seems like a really kool dude.

[@intrsoul]

Love both you guys - terrific to see you together and sharing pearls of wisdom.

[@rolandpei]

Two good Canucks right there

[@GazMoz78]

This video could influence you in one of two ways.... 1; you're going to be inspired and motivated in you're own playing. 2; you're going to quit because you're shite 🤣

[@Juanpa1979x.]

Nro 2 for me :(

[@SakariKempas]

Naw man, do your own thing. They are amazing but don't let that put you down, let it lift you up. I think that I'm gonna finally start learning the fretboard like Pete showed, like all Cs without the open between 1st and 12th fret.

[@Auxend]

Thing I love about Phil and Pete (and EVH)...they attack the guitar and licks like Tony Hawk attacks a skateboard. It wasn't until I made that connection that it switched from #2 to #1 for me. 90% percent of the ollies I've attempted resulted in failure...I'll probably never sk8 like my heroes, but it doesn't mean I can't (or shouldn't) sk8.

[@gvtshorts2024]

Auxend So true...I apply this same sk8 boarding connection and I don't even skate. It must be relatable for many guitarists. You have to take flight, cleanly pull of all your moves and then make the perfect landing. That'a why Rabea is so good at both.

[@GuitaristJesse2442]

Never give up

[@dylaneagles]

I can honestly say watching Phil X play inspired me as much as Metallica, ACDC, Pink Floyd, etc. You can see his love for playing shine like an aura and he inspired me to pour my soul into my music. Fifteen years later I continue to enjoy watching him play. Thank you for changing a big part of my life Phil. Much respect!

[@karimba45]

Imagine a band with these guys playing together. OMG

[@johnw5734]

You guys are a lot of fun to watch. Love Phil's simplistic approach to guitar playing.

[@justinbouchard]

This is an awesome chat with some awesome lessons. Also thanks for the mental insights into your own doubts about yourselves while gigging.

[@herbertdoscher9764]

These two have to be the two most talented and nicest guys in the industry.
