To all the people saying SRV and Hendrix clone... you know it's not possible to see those artists live now right? You can see this guy. He's following his passion. Are you?

[@1AnitrasDance]

Well said

[@Nobody92421]

Actually, the only thing in common between himself and SRV is the attitude. He is not ripping off SRV chops at all... This guys is his own man. I hope he plays for a living. He should!!!!

I agree. He’s up there playing music he loves. He sounds great and like his own man. 👍

I used to watch this guy at Grossman's Tavern in Toronto every Tuesday night back in 2001. A virtuoso blues player, for sure. I remember Jeff Healey coming in to see him one night. Sayce was playing mostly Hendrix tunes back then, and sounding very much like SRV. He's getting even more interesting sounds out of his guitar these days, and he's developed some seriously high-speed licks too.

[@musicproductioncentral4540]

There's guys in clubs all over the world that play this guy under the table. They do it by actually playing musical, meaningful phrases, and not just crazy over bends and ultra wide vibrato, which obviously impresses the shit out of your average person that doesn't play the guitar, but those of us who play blues, know Phil's game. He's all icing and no cake.

I play guitar too man and I am telling ya this cat is a force of nature unbelievable talent. Real deal for sure . He's gotta be playing with some heavy strings on that strat he digs in hard and just punishes that stratocaster man his bends and vibrato are crazy good . Intense player man he puts his all in it and you can hear it. Thank God we got players like this keeping this genre of music alive .Blues power man !

And that’s an understatement what an Amazing guitarist, he’d put a smile on SRV and Gary Moore’s face, he’s got a lot of SRVs style in his playing, and who else here’s a little Hendrix style in his vocals as well. He definitely has the complete package, I’m still in awe, thanks for sharing him with the world. The band is awesome as well! WOW! WOW! WOW!

He puts more speed and shreds in his playing. In raw style.

[@mjrlormans]

For the guitar nerds, it looks like Philip is playing through a Princeton Reverb and a Bandmaster Reverb head with a Super Reverb cab loaded with 4x10" JBL speakers, he's got a great tone ;-)

[@stankyst4nk39]

Thanks a ton i couldn't make out what the cab was

[@Marshall50w]

Good spot, do you think it is the earlier Bandmaster 45w or later 70w head ?

[@mjrlormans]

Looks like it’s the earliest Silverface Bandmaster Reverb Amp model TFL5005D with drip edge made from 1968-1969, these amps give 40 Watts output power...

[@yjmsrv]

And he's tuned to D

[@chb8037]

I'm gonna guess its not a bandmaster.. but a silver super reverb modded by cougar.. and taken out of the original 4X10 cab below it and put into a bandmaster reverb head shell... maybe to fit the speakers.. or maybe for another reason

He's incredible, but he's stuck on SRV, as are many. Fantastic guitarists leave a legacy like that, and it's great, but ultimately if all you are is cloning someone else, that void is pretty much infinitely filled by the person you're copying. You have to take it another direction, like John Mayer has. He's very much learned to become his own player, and is furthermore a very advanced songwriter (Not doing just straight blues, which is great, but won't earn you a crowd outside of people who are into blues).
