Phil X Back on Tour with Bon Jovi... Here's Bo Diddley's Bo Diddley!

[@jonathanlogan763]

This guitar ain't ugly this guitar is badass

[@The0Yew]

Am I the only person who loves everything about that guitar?

[@danialm8122]

me too.

[@estebanb7166]

Yes

[@HeathWatts]

No, I want one. They cost about $2500, so I'm saving my pennies.

[@JacksonV4life16]

This guitar reminds me of how truly great Bo Diddley was, and i have had the pleasure of meeting his family and having his great grandson play in my band, and let me tell you, that family has soul and blues running through their blood. The world lost a legend when he died. R.I.P. Bo Diddley(A MAN)!!

[@rbrme]

Bo Diddley's music is great. I don't think people realise how inspirational he was to blues/rock music. He played a big influence for the black keys, and the white stripes to say the least.

[@Bovara]

I'm stunned I asked you guys to do this back on my birthday, youve made my year. Thank you so much

[@Fuzzlike11]

Congratulations from Norway with the Bon Jovi tour Phil :D Well deserved!

[@adam1othman]

That's an amazing piece of history anything owned by Bo diddley...

[@billyb440]

I just came from the Jon Bon Jovi concert and realized it was Phil X on stage, my mind was in a state flux, over this, I couldn't make up my mind who I was happier to see. Phil X or Bon Jovi................ it was Holy crap!!!!! That's Phil X........... Jon who? Thank you Phil X, that was an awesome performance on stage, every one was commenting on how nothing was missing from tonight's concert. You made the concert better than we expected. I got to see Phil X live.... WIN!

[@jessechen4971]

anyone graphics card broken like mine? the guitar appears in like < 8bit

[@FranklyNorman]

“I don’t give a DAMN who’s guitar you’re making a video about. I HAVE to finish this mix in two hours, and I am using THIS console.”

[@FAllenNoodles]

One of the things I love about Phil is he's not afraid to not always appear perfect. He's an awesome guitar player but sometimes as in the Zepplin song he was trying to play he didn't know all of it. He didn't edit and then show him playing it perfect but kept the footage. That makes me admire him even more !

[@Spongerob0]

Hey Phil. I wish I could have seen you play. I missed you by 1 show! Cheers from Calgary. And all the best on this tour!

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

Love it when you talk about the Rockn Roll history. Great to hear those stories.

[@ChrisBonJovi]

I'm seeing Phil at 2 of these upcoming Bon Jovi concerts. It's bittersweet; Richie Sambora is basically my idol and I'm crushed I'm not going to be seeing him again this time around... but I'm excited to finally experience Phil live.

[@Instramark]

I love this axe and anything that shows interest in something other than status quo. Whatever this guy has going for himself is obviously from real committment and hard, hard work! Go Phil! If he was 20 years older with his skills, we would be doing vids on him and his stardom. Can't say enough about this guy. Never heard him say anything negative and what a great sense of humor!

[@WoodesosGuitarMods]

You just reminded me of two things. I used to love The Cult and when I began to learn guitar I used to play the records over and over to learn the album. I broke 3 needles putting songs back to certain parts to figure them out. I still can't learn a song with tab, I have to listen to it over and over. It's the only way I know how. Great video!

[@sonicpunisher]

That bon jovi stuff couldn't happen to a better guy. Wow are you doing it the right way. I hope you become ultra famous. Peeeaace !

[@bizzle204]

You'll be in my city April 5th! Can't wait to see you rocking out!

[@philbarrows8261]

Hey Phil Congrats on rejoining BJ!! Gonna be fun playin in front of the home crowd!!

[@elianagonzalez893]

I'm a big fan of Bon Jovi. I really don't care what everyone is saying about the band these days, the only thing I care about is that someone so cool is replacing Richie. You are awesome Phil! Big hugs from Argentina!

[@ThatsBadTV]

Congrats on getting back on tour man!

[@nmblack02]

Howw have I never seen this guy before? These videos are awesome.

[@jakestewartmusic]

It takes a special kind of person to love a guitar like that

[@SnoozeIRTL]

5:13 Saving that for later. Love that tone

[@Icarus780001]

Don't be gone to long on tour Phil. We'll miss ya!

[@Loddentidster]

The last phil x guitar demo... in a while. A piece of history, this!

[@LaZicaJeOne]

awesome guitar and........ awesome Phil !!!

[@ThePeagull]

Man, this guitar was screaming for Just got Paid! Great vid none the less!

[@theconqueror21]

So...who else misses looking at the Fretted Americana show floor and hearing Phil sing like 20 songs an episode?

[@AndiEliot]

That's great news! Enjoy the thrill of playing arenas Phil. Best of luck!

[@JacksonV4life16]

Im in a band with Bo Diddley's Grandson and played alot of his personal guitars, it's really surreal.

[@apexresidual22]

seriously i bet phil x can play every damned song under the sun on a guitar... he fucking man handles the piss out of a guitar.. one of the best guitar players ive ever seen for sure

[@SynMusique]

gotta love this guy...

[@dopple6]

this video by itself has made me fall in love wth gretsches

[@GLI_16V]

Dude i'm missing these man, i'm missing my phil x fix man. i've been watching reruns too much =(

[@frettedamericana]

Completely different styles... how can you compare?

[@BionicSammich]

That style of guitar is one of the most iconic guitars of all time.

[@RokDAWG1]

I love the sound of that guitar!!

[@MissMisstreater]

Yes Phil, Bo Diddley came up with the 3 2 Son Clave rhythm..... ;)

[@TheCraiger1969]

I met Phil 20 years ago when he was the lead guitarist for Canadian pop Frozen Ghost.

[@DanielAraujoNazar]

love the song at the beginning

[@gurey00]

Hell yeah! Phil X & Guthrie!! No words can express how epic that would be!

[@petitnavet]

Always awesome Phil!!! That Black Crowes song is so good right!

[@MrBlaarghh]

Awesome. I was raised on The Black Crowes and The Cult. Rockin'.

[@pel666]

Phil my man playing the Cult on Bo's guitar....just awesome!!!

[@Fendera1]

this guitar sounds great! love the middle pickup

[@Bobby59]

awesome... hope yall come to NYC

[@RootsRockRebel]

Not even Phil X can duplicate Diddley's tone. That's saying something!

[@MrLaserprint]

get on itunes, the drills have 3 albums and i just can't stop listening to them

[@MrMillipeed]

This is Brilliant and Bo Diddly was important to rock and roll and really cool, the Bo Diddly rhythm however is a very famous rhythm mainly from South America known as the Clave rhythm. It doesn't take away from Bo Diddly's place in history but after the recognition of the roots of rock and roll, jazz etc coming from black musicians it's important to pay homage to where the roots of this rhythm came from.

[@bradlawrenceofficial]

He did, if you were at the latest Dorje & The Drills tour, at the first date of the tour, it was epic beyond proportion...

[@NightHawk80162]

My god, that treble pickup sounds amazing

[@jasons_bizarre_adventure]

i love the orange on that guitar always have wish i could get a guitar in that orange

[@PabloSantaFe87]

I like the Style of Phil X he's a great guitarrist, is a best choise to cover temporarily Sambora.

[@chrispile3878]

And now he has Richie's job permanently.

[@PabloSantaFe87]

@@chrispile3878 sadly

[@beany1324]

They did a live show together, you can find it on youtube.

[@adamsegal2001]

Phil x, would you do a video with the fender cabronita telecaster?

[@20Kman12]

Seriously guys, stop arguing about who's better - Richie and Phil are totally different in style (but both good). I'm happy that Phil is covering for Richie when he is away (no matter how long that will be). Phil brings a more heavy sound to Bon Jovi. Having said that, I hope Richie will be back soon.

[@MrBassmaniac]

What's the song his playing in 4:50 sounds aaaawesome!!

[@Xenozenomusic]

Nevermind the shape for now, Phil and the filtertrons are sounding great.

[@Commando471]

for a box, that guitar's got tone!

[@humansteve7194]

Don't forget that "Groove" is also in the "New York Groove"!!

[@guitarolm]

aw man, that Dancing Days was sweet!

[@Voxtender]

All about the Filtertron pick-ups. Really the best sounding and most versatile. Like having both humbuckers and single coils in one!

[@motoacker]

Good luck getting on the last frets my friend

[@1111guitardude1111]

I like how smiley is laughing in the background about the vest lol!

[@rijste94]

Maybe i could connect to phil x more, because he was a guitarplayer surrounded by guitars that screamed to be played. All these possibilities and just a limited amount of time to discover them. I could feel and see the joy and for a moment there, i felt like a could grab anyone of those guitars and experience the thrill of discovering their sounds. Now it's like you're a guitarist showing a certain guitar with lots of equipment involved.(things in other rooms). My apologies if this seems rude.

[@genewiley3376]

What Black Crowes song does he do at 9:50?

[@HighGTurn6]

Twice as Hard

[@ZedChuva]

Soon as I heard about Richie dropping off the tour, my first thought was, "Time for Phil to step in!"

[@MrVadiaRotor]

wow! what's the riff at 3:56 ? anybody knows?

[@DerEchteBold]

Beatles - Day Tripper

[@rileyrussak7469]

that guitar is awesome lol my dads bestfriend is bo diddlys son and ive been facinated with him ever since

[@chrispile3878]

I was waiting for Phil to play some surf stuff through the AC 30.

[@Tropicalfrooploops]

that guitar is awesome

[@xx4718xx]

What happened to Richie Sambora this time?

[@ProggyRainy]

There was a bo diddley riff in screwdriver by the white stripes

[@Nick-ds2ms]

whats the song he starts playing at 3:33

[@TheZooropaBaby]

Are You Gonna Be My Girl? by Jet.

[@MrRizlaSmoker]

Anyone know what song he's doing at 12:00?

[@MrRizlaSmoker]

Just found it -- Wild Flower by The Cult

[@dennistalley790]

+MrRizlaSmoker thanks. I was wondering myself and knew someone probably asked earlier. Now I know.

[@guitarflores2213]

About time Phil!!!!!! lol

[@jimsteele2072]

Yeah, it was a lot more exciting back in that little room, Now they are in a studio, you would think that would be better, But I agree with you, The guitar room, Phil Screaming, and the Smaller Amps, that WAS the magic.

[@AwSoMeReeceMorris]

Nice to see Mr X 'Philling' in for Sambora.

[@jonaspersson122]

How do the two volume knobs work? One is master and the other is... ?

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

Rudi don't fail by The Clash, another one to 'borrow' that riff

[@SalandFindles]

What is the song he tries to play @ 10:40?

[@JChavez1283]

How would you get to the higher frets with that body shape?!

[@eriknorlander5814]

does in-between positions sounds like some octave up effect! Really cool in my opinion

[@JBergmansson]

+Erik Norlander Yeah, and a guess for the actual wiring is that it is two pickups in phase switch :)

[@YankeesGirlxoxo]

I'm a huge bon jovi fan, yes it's not the same without Richie Sambora, but I've been watching the youtube videos & Phil X has been doing a great job as a fill in, if Richie doesn't come back by July then I rather see you live then someone else filling in for him.

[@mmckissack2379]

inspired van halens you really got me, the crajon lady did it

[@DerpMuse]

Gretsch are amazing!!

[@znarfy1991]

What's the name of the song he plays at 03:35 ?

[@chuckwasson]

Are you gonna be my girl-Jet

[@frantisca]

After the Bon Jovi Tour , get back to F.A., get back to F.A., get back to F.A. ! ! ! ! and good luck for the tour Phil: ROCK ON \m/

[@GNRSlashful]

I think that fourth position sounds pretty cool, it has that higher octave Octavio thing

[@ColeSai]

Wildflower made my day at the end!

[@SalandFindles]

What was that song he was trying to play towards the end and couldn't quite figure it out? It sounded so familiar.

[@EsSchneitImSommer]

do something with the 19th thread pls

[@yamahabmxer1]

BRING BON JOVI TO THE NETHERLANDS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I live to far from stuttgard and munich:( I would finally have a chanche to see you!

[@HondoSauce]

True guitar player. Jamming, messing up and laughing about it. Awesome talent and classic guitar.

[@SquierGuy2]

what was the name of that black crowes song? sounds great thanks!

[@marcochesti3750]

But the song at the 2:30 ?

[@WhiteStripe333]

damn phil, i remember when i had my first beer.

[@thewisegrasshopper]

[@michaeldemoret1666]

Uncalled for making fun of Bo's stuff unless it was in tune with the history of Bo and Jerome Green always haggling one another on stage. Repect for all things Bo Diddley.
