PHIL X GOES CRAZY! DOES INSANE HENDRIX ON A 1969 Fender Stratocaster 01020

[@mojobuddy22]

Phil X is the real Jack Black from School of Rock :))

[@jegl1012]

Does anyone have more fun with a guitar than this guy?

[@Scubadog_]

"PHIL X GOES CRAZY!" You mean like every video he's ever done?

[@ChaosBurnsWithin]

Phil X doesnt have an ego at all... he's one of the most humble people ever. if you watch more videos he's even like "GAH why can i not play today? im sorry, i suck right now. okay." and is just very friendly. he isnt all hyperactive cuz hes being an egomaniac... that has nothign to do with it. he's just having fun. he has no attitude, he's just a chill guy who likes to play his damn guitars

[@lkj0822g]

Note to self: Whenever Phil strikes a chord and his eyes roll back and he says "Oh my God, that's awesome!", get ready for a treat. "Hey Joe" is one of my favorite Hendrix songs and to say Phil did an awesome job on it is an understatement. I never heard of Phil until I came across these demos and now I am a fan. Thanks to FrettedAmericana for sponsoring these videos. I know you do it for advertising but it is such a treat for those of us who love old guitars and great playing.

[@Huntington12345678]

Phil's reaction at 2:01 to the sound of this guitar is priceless. That is the look of true love and passion for guitars and music.

[@jagnacmathilde]

I loved the end "I'm canadian", that's priceless ! Phil, you're amazing !

[@thisnotmyname]

It's so refreshing to see someone tearing into a vintage guitar. The way it's supposed to be played.

[@DSalois1]

I had to watch this video 3 times in a row just because of the title. truley amazing, Phil X is the best

[@Barkeroni]

i would watch this guy even if he sucked at guitar

[@waynewhiteside6687]

I've watched a bunch of Phil's videos now and I've never seen anyone with more energy...! Yoww........!!!!

[@frettedamericana]

@matzchase - nothing is ever planned with Phil...that's what makes these videos so entertaining because they are completely spontaneous !

[@PantheonLincoln]

Phil's reaction when he first plays something on the neck pickups is hilarious, like he came in his pants upon hearing such great tone. This actually made me dig out my copy of "Are You Experienced?", hearing Phil play Hendrix on that thing.

[@supercat380]

Phil X does his unique guitar magic again...a true king of the electric guitar!!! Bravo Phil!!!

[@RevisedTV]

i cannot get over the fact that whatever song you sing, your voice is perfect for it. rock on man

[@localcrew]

This is the first frettedamericana/Phil X video I ever watched and now I'm a die-hard Phil X fan. Love his playing. Lots.

[@bxdr429]

Phil X, you are one of the 6 people that are making me get guitar lessons and be a great guitarist, I starting to get more into guitar because of you, the way you play the guitar absolutely amazing, dude, you Rock.

[@occhioallallocco]

best video ever, and best strat ever. Period. Unless you speculate and do not play 6 hours a day electric guitars on great amps.

[@SophomoricHumor]

YOU are an incredible guitarist! im only a 14 year old alternative guitarist (been playing 7 years) and i just want to say your videos are awesome!! now you know your inspiring the youth. good job!

[@15000volts]

best guitar demo ever

[@georgeparkins777]

Man, he reminds me of the guy who tried to teach me in the old days. He also played a "Hey Joe" with most of the wrong chords and still made it sound awesome. I mean, he knew everything by ear, so he was almost always wrong, but he could make anything sound right.

[@Pastafield]

Man, this guy is so entertaining. Some of the best videos on youtube. Full stop.

[@IplayMusic2]

Dude. I come to you whenever I need inspiration and it works. Now all I need is some talent.

[@DaRealRaymix]

You're natural and you rock - It's nice to finally see guys that plays for FUN, not for showing off. Thumbs up Phil, sweet guitar by the way, it makes my tiny little MIM blackie very shy right now , hah !

[@lavalamp360]

man i love your demos! it's nice to see someone actually rock out on the instrument instead of just talking and playing a couple sound samples. the energy you put out in these vids is fucking contagious too. also props on the covers and awesome rock n'roll singing. i'm canadian too

[@SMOOTHSTEVE501]

These videos are always a treat- I'm always sad when they are over. Thanks so much!

[@davidscor]

OMG, that's one of the best sounding Strats I've ever heard!

[@translucent17]

phil x you rock man, this is by far one of my favorite sounding guitar styles, being able to rip and let loose while still keeping it tight and together feels soo natural and positive. so many guitarists playing strictly by the books these days. just recently found these videos, now i watch before i have to work puts me in a good mood. cheers

[@butchNH]

LOVE this guy. wish I had one ounce of his attitude, talent and passion. Well done! keep rockin Phil.

[@cassettepat]

Dude...what happened at 5:05, think it took a hold of you then. Awesome

[@bartomiejfraczyk2590]

With these videos Phil X ensured himself immortality. Long live Phil X!

[@Thetallywhacker0]

I was having a shitty day, and I saw this Phil X video and it cheered me up. Thanks Phil X, you are amazing hahaha

[@sliceru]

Best Hey Joe Rendition I've ever heard !!!

[@jetmarshall]

Phil X, I love the way you exude your love of the instrument and your passion for music! Keep rock'n!

[@xkrazieGx]

he plays the guitar like a beast and has soo much fun with it.. awesome!

[@mcjayc100]

Phil's got some great chops on the fretboard. Hell, HE'S KICKING OUT THE JAMS!!!! I've been watching most of these clips & they're entertaining as well as inspirational. I diggin' these clips!!!! Where else are you going to find a phenomenal guitar player tapping in THE SPIRIT OF HENDRIX??? PHIL X RULES!!!!

[@jdb89142]

Phil X is the man!, and this is one of best sounding strats i have ever heard, amazing tone! if only i had the money lol

[@PulsatileAbdomen]

wow he looks young here

[@Mick-Dempsey]

2:29 He just couldn't resist sneaking in ''whole lotta love'' into Hey joe.Phil X awsomeness.

[@p5ych0Killer]

Do work son!.... good to finally see a quality review. Neck p-up tone is legendary, as is the bridge. Fly on legendary stratocaster!

[@DBP1992ify]

When I feel uninspired, I just watch a couple of these videos, laugh my ass off, and pick up my axe. Thank you, Phil!

[@Mosarioos]

From all of the guitarists that I admire Phil X is the most important for my guitar playing ;) It's huge achievement, because this group consist of masters like Jimi, Frusciante, Clapton, BB King, etc. All of them are great, but Phil gave me something what is the most important.PASSION. Half a year ago I've looked at this video and I understood that it's not about playing so fast and precisely. It's about fun. And when you enjoy playing guitar, technique will come in due course. Thank you :D

[@GroovyGuitar02]

I love that video . How playing guitar just cheers you up , phil :) you looked quite sad at the beginning at the video , and it made feel sorry , and then you play some hendrix and look so lively and play , sing with so much soul ... it's awesome and i enjoyed the musical moment . 'when i feel sad , i become awesome instead . true story" (one of my mantras ,don't know who said that in the first place)

[@Sn4pDr4gon]

Seriously Phil....From 4:40 to 5:41 was an amazing moment in internet guitar history. HOLY F------ S---!. You are the real deal sir. Wow.

[@SuperDsffdsf]

THIS VIDEO ALWAYS MAKES ME FEEL BETTER

[@ryanpurpura80]

Fuuuck me! The way he plays those Ozzy songs is amazing! Diary of a Madman is such a killer album!

[@Philtration]

I like Phil X. He is a great player, he loves music and he gets to fuck around with some of the greatest guitars ever made. I want that job!

[@sandpadres]

he is very well known in the music business, but not as much mainstream. I agree though, I would love to see this guy get some singles up on the charts

[@V3ryM3tal]

I hated this guy when I first saw some of his videos. Soon enough I realized he's not a douche at all, just a super excited musician that gets in to it and has some incredible skills and enthusiastic about it. Keep it up Phil X and Fretted America!

[@emmajanegordon536]

Man, you are so cool!!! I play acoustic guitar at the moment, but I have always wanted an electric guitar and most of all...a Fender Strat.My dream electric guitar set-up:Fender StratMarshall AmpWhole array of effects pedals.

[@Rasser48]

man. taht tone he used for fire was just amazing. it was distorted. but you could hear the jangely tones of the strat. PHILX...ROCK ON

[@Burgerphile]

This is exactly the guitar I imagine myself to own when I become a world famous rockstar

[@OldJong]

It is so funny! I used to work in a music store with Aldo Nova when I was much younger, about 34 years ago and I learned that Phil played with Aldo some times ago! The world is small indeed! I have lots of fun with these videos BTW! and I don't mind if he rocks on Jazz guitars. Music is supposed to be fun. ;-)

[@mxr80]

Come on Phil it wasn't all that bad up in Canada, sure you taught at band camp but you also gave us a killer performance once again and the other instructors as well at the resort next door! Not sure if you remember me, I was one of the tennis coaches there and had a 1983 Kramer Pacer Special I wanted you to try out but we never got around to it. Anyways, enjoy watching your videos man, keep rocking!

[@EjTnT]

Man I love this guy!!! I wish there were more guys like him making demo videos as cool as that, but I guess then there would be more guitar store owners getting heart attacks. I mean seriously, I don't know many people that would go as crazy as he did between 5:07 and 6:26 on a guitar that costs as much as an APPARTMENT!!!

[@HALOMAN11]

Phil X seriously is one of my favorite players of all time. Mostly because he covers most of my old guy bands, probably. Regardless, AMAZING

[@goodbassfishin]

1:57-2:01 "AND that's a clean sooooooooooun-da." Amazing.

[@Eddiperience]

Great vid, keep on rocking!! Gonna use some acdc lyrics to express myself: We rock at dawn on the front line Like a bolt right out of the blue The sky's alight with the guitar bite Heads will roll and rock tonight For phils about to rock, we salute you yes we do salute

[@JonAthlete]

love the way you demo guitars man, with different songs to match the guitars era , I´m SO tired of people running trough the blues scale when they demo guitars.

[@philx1111]

@ lyons4398 the 60's tonemaster we talk about is made by magnatone and is the original tonemaster. the fender tonemaster is a completely different amp with the same name and is a high powered head as opposed to a 15 watt combo which is what we have.

[@samdickson1]

4:50 - 5:20 makes this my favorite Phil x video ever.

[@gus23a]

this guy is awesome! he does exactly the thing this guitar was meant for! rocking out hard´n´loud! nice!

[@EccentricRichard]

Phil, you're really on "Fire" here! You clearly love the guitar - I'm afraid I struggle to match your enthusiasm. I mean, a Strat's OK as a general purpose guitar, and it's great when you pile on the reverb, U2-style, but for the most part, gimme a Gibson any day. Speaking of which, I see you've still got that Lucille - any chance of more from her? I'd love to hear the entirety of Communication Breakdown (as you played a fragment of the main riff on the Lucille), followed by Bring It On Home!

[@BillyBraiden]

its inspiring how much he loves playing

[@nuttymanyelismate]

You gotta like this guy. Sheer natural craziness and one hell of a player.

[@badwaiser]

here's somebody that lives the music as every one of us must to!!

[@TZerot0]

In my opinion this is the best sounding guitar you reviewed.

[@b4d27]

If you want to hear the original, go listen to the original. Phil does his thing, has a great time, and god bless him for it.

[@bramshorst]

05.00.... that's sick dude!! love the spontaneously revieuws.

[@HipCovers]

Dude....I met him and hung out with him for a week at that band camp!!! IT WAS LIVE :D

[@jsilve1]

Actually, he's 43 at the time this vid was filmed

[@asda6572]

its crazy how you're so crazy and u still hit the notes crazy.

[@littlehumor4290]

Giving the ol' strat some punishment!

[@MUDSWAT]

Your awesome, I've never seen someone cover Hendrix so well.... !!

[@ThomasMetal75]

That distortion pedal has the that sound of tube gain breaking up. SOUND KILLER!

[@nandip77]

Defenately this is the best guitar review what I've ever seen! :)

[@joeymagaines]

Its refreshing to see a classic strat being used for its intention instead of sitting in a hardcase in some rich guys collection

[@hungerstriker27]

the tone of that strat is amazing.... I would kill for having it for an hour and jam with it

[@5catani5]

Holy Crap!!! The part that starts at 4:56 is an incredible lick!! jeez!! So freakin cool. Love it!!

[@DVRMNaitor]

Awesome vid! That's the perfect strat sound, sweet&quacky but with balls!

[@epitaph664]

his playing is so hendrix and his voice has the same passion, but its got a cool diff sound to it i love it

[@MasterExploder745]

Dude. What is that riff your playing at 4:56?! sounds amazing!!

[@Huntington12345678]

I'd love to see Phil X host a late night show for musical acts trying to get their big break. No big name acts. No game show, American Idol type contest. Just a show that features real touring musicians, of all different types of musical genres.

[@conspiracypraticlelist3370]

Phil that was fuckin awesome and I don't swsar

[@martinriddington2984]

the biggest legend ever.

[@Insomnijac]

Remember Phil X: You break it, you bought it!

[@ThrashRoC]

this is really the best guitar show i `ve ever seen ...and i know them all ;-D, great show , and these little tonemaster amp is awesome KEEP ON ROCKIN` !!

[@Gubby007]

Everyone is ripping on this dude for being razy... but he's like the killing it all over that neck, and just making it really enjoyable while explaining all this interesting stuff about the gear.. Really good channel, Sub, 5 stars.(

[@GrungeyMr]

this is my fav vid by phil x

[@GiacomoPK]

Gosh, you inspire me so much to just keep practicing

[@GentalaMaya]

dude you have become my wicked inspiration

[@TheF86Sabre]

Another great job…Many hours in a dark room and pow awesome guitar player.

[@reverberator100]

i love how his strap say "parental advisory" ..... old folks cant handle the awesomeness!!!

[@dobby240]

that solo from 4:50 to the end... amazing... your such a showman xD loved it

[@bigredchevytruck]

I don't play myself, but I just love guitars. But my favorite Phil X video, so far, is the White Falcon.

[@ConcertKing]

Natural high can't beat that!

[@ifightaliens]

I had that 2:04 reaction once... I was playing a 1974 Guild Starfire. Love this strat!

[@Mrguitarzeus]

Dude that was the greatest song that and the let Me stand next to you're fire songs and national anthem what that was great well done Phil x

[@matchoubuster]

When he was doing his solo on Fire I was so scared that he touches other guitars haha

[@RoPanuganti]

Are the intro songs from Phil X's band? They're awesome.
