I met Phil at a bar in LA. He was watching this incredible jazz band (as were we all), and you could tell what an absolute fan of music he was. He was so locked into the group, smiling and just enjoying himself. I gathered up the courage to go say hi, and buy him a beer. He was everything he appears to be. There's no show. He's just a wonderful excited man and so incredibly humble. His gratitude was palpable (this was before his Bon Jovi fame). Phil is such a wonderful musician, but most importantly, he's a damn decent human being. So happy to see his career skyrocket.

[@JJJJay]

I echo the same sentiments about Phil. I met him when he was in Triumph at this place in Waterloo, Ontario Canada (many moons ago) called The Red Pepper on a Tuesday night when they held open jam sessions. The guitarist for the “house band” on those Tuesday nights knew Phil from within the local music community and invited him to come out and play a few songs with them (and he did). But before the show as everyone was setting up I was introduced and Phil and I talked. He was incredibly nice, funny, humble and just so easy to talk to. It’s always good to see the good people do well. Phil is certainly one of them.

I also play bouzouki as a profession and only want to say that the 6-string bouzouki is still very much alive, and has not been replaced by the 8-string even if the 8-string is more standard since Xiotis, who is a later bouzouki player, not one of the originals. Also the picture shown is "Irish bouzouki", not the kind that Phil X is talking about. Other than that, this was a great video. Thank you. :)

[@greekfreak1980]

If you guys want to listen to the full version of that first song that Phil X is playing, it´s called: "Perasmenes mou Agapes" by Manolis Chiotis. It´s an absolute classic and Chiotis is considered one of the greatest bouzouki virtuosos of all time, basically the equivalent of Django Reinhardt or EVH on the bouzouki and an innovator on the instrument. There are countless versions of the song, incl. a pretty cool "metalized" cover by Gus G (Firewind, former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist), who rearranged the song for electric guitar.

[@Keithphotorama]

Phil X has mentioned a number of times about the practice of slowing down on finger movements to improve accuracy. It’s definitely an important lesson to mention for everyone to hear but it’s equally important for viewers to see candid videos of guitar gods behind the scenes practicing their craft. I keep remembering Freddie Mercury video where he is alone in this tent warming up his vocals before going up on stage, this video has stuck in my mind as more important than someone talking about their warm up’s while being interviewed.

It is very underrated. I wonder what would have happened if Markos was allowed to leave Greece and tour the world. Unfortunately Markos had a criminal record for going AWOL from the army, so the Greek government would not give him a passport, so he never left Greece his entire life, even though he is the most important musician in modern Greek music. It's a shame.

Phil is a marvel. He seems to truly love what he does. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.

Oh noooo! Poor Rhett! Nah, just kiddin', he loved every second ;) Also noteworthy, as soon as Phil starts to chop away, everybody around gets a stupid grin - including myself and probably many viewers!
