Phil's secret, he LOVES music, he LOVES guitars, he's not afraid to make mistakes which means he's not afraid to look bad, which means he's not afraid to go flat out. You can only get this way if don't give a shit what other people think. Keep it up Phil, you're an inspiration to all rock guitar players. cheers bud

[@philx1111]

hey man, thanks a lot for this comment.

[@chavarigo]

phil dont make flat outs, no mistakes, hes clean, what I think, and listened. hahahahaa

[@aurora3067]

philx1111 Adam's Apple man!! You are an inspiration and influence to me and many people. Keep Rockin and P.S. I'm unaware of anybody else who';s music taste is so huge. You can play ANYTHING its ridiculous man. when you played Yngwie you officially entered god mode hahaha. Please if you can play some cream or more yngwie. Congrats on the baby, take care, Rock on.

[@guitargeekforjesus]

philx1111 if you don't mind me asking, is there a purpose to the wristband, or do you just enjoy wearing it? :)

[@wea69420]

Phil talking about music is like a golden retriever talking about his favourite toy

[@matthewmartinez5021]

Phil x you sure as hell are one of my inspirations 😇

[@philx1111]

thank you. inspiring inspires.

[@redbird963]

That Aerosmith song is Adam's Apple.

[@PEMAMETAL]

Phil is such a crazy, nice guy. He just plays what comes to his mind with a lot of energy and enthusiasm. The guy is fucking great. Lots of fun watching Him

[@stephenjames4937]

I'm assuming that the Drills play more than one song at these sessions, and that you have a growing archive of these unseen performances. I hereby request, on behalf of your faithful viewers, that you post a compilation KZbin video, perhaps at Christmas time. Or to commemorate another special event, such as July 4th, Phil's birthday, or his son's first birthday. You could show us three songs at a time (or a hundred and three, actually...). Just a thought. In the meantime, thanks for the videos. It's always a treat to watch Phil wrestle with these beauteous beasts.

[@frettedamericana]

Two-Dog James Believe it or not these for the most part are one take live off the floor!! They're just that Fricken GOOD!!

[@philx1111]

man.... we only do one song per Guit but what an idea. doing a few & then putting out a compilation. glad I thought of it. hahaha

[@MrJoshDoty]

Great idea Phil! Lol

[@RoccoPezzin]

that marshall sounds soo good

[@philx1111]

yeah it does.

[@flguitarist8298]

philx1111 You guys should try some BlackStar amps, like the series 100.

[@CaptainSexy90]

FL Guitarist No.

[@clayy000]

CaptainSexy90 Just curious why you would say no, not trying to be a smart ass or anything I just want to know what you think about them if you have an opinion other than "they suck" thanks

[@pangborn25]

Clayton Murray They're too "sterile" sounding. Good for metal, but you'd need really good hands to make it sound right for blues or blues-inspired rock, which is my neck of the woods, and I assume Captain's.

[@cominroitover80]

As cheesy as this guy may be he's pretty fucking talented. I think demoing gear is a talent in itself. It has to be given how many people fucking suck at it. Half the time the guy demoing the gear can't get a good tone at all, can't play for shit and has no idea what the guitar is intended for (hence why you get people playing nothing but blues picks on Ibanez RGs) Phil is good at noticing the strengths and weaknesses of each guitar and demoing their dynamic ranges. The fact that he can just pick up and not only play but sing songs like that is pretty dope.

[@IronOrePickaxe]

cominroitover80 Phil is in his late 40s, and has been playing guitar since he wasn't even 10, so he obvoisly has been playing guitars long enough to be good, figure out what settings sound the best on different amps, and also know what guitar suits each music genre the best.

[@WoodesosGuitarMods]

Gorgeous guitar. Though these rivets or brass thumb tacks or whatever is all the way around the body, would drive me mad. Notice Phil is almost always wearing an arm band to probably prevent sweat going down his hand, but not here?. I can't imagine what the luthier would have been thinking. Imagine rubbing up against those rivets all night. No thanks. They look super cool, but in my humble opinion should have been recessed.

[@loganmiller3710]

really if there smooth and flush with the body they probably would present too much of a problem.

[@WoodesosGuitarMods]

No man I disagree. However that's just my personal opinion. Having never touched one of these and likely to never be able to afford one, I can't say for sure, but I don't like stuff in my pockets let alone something rubbing on my wrist while I play guitar. I'm sure they're smooth and flush, but they do stick out some and for me that would be enough to drive me completely crazy, when playing it. Might not bother some guys. But also reckon if this were more universally popular, and didn't look like it was going to bother at least guys like me (which I bet there are heaps of) then Fender and Gibson would be doing it too. Don't get me wrong, it's a super cool looking detail. I love the look, I just think it's impractical and at some point would drive anyone mad.

[@samboraguru]

Woodeso's Guitar Mods Hi! This is Tommaso from Paoletti. Actually you can't really feel them when playing. I had the priviledge of playing Richie Sambora's and Phil's personal Paoletti gtrs and - believe me - the studs (or "nails" as we call them at the factory) don't bother the player. The external look...well, that's subjective, naturally. Anyway, any Wine Instrument can be ordered with or without nails! :)

[@WoodesosGuitarMods]

Wow, that'S COOL! One of the actual builders. I'm happy to be proven wrong by the builder himself. The detail is so striking, it jumped out at me as something that looks super cool, but I imagined chafing with this after a couple hours play. But if you say it doesn't bother the player, I'm more than happy to take back what I said. Also love to try one on my own channel, but sadly probably could never afford one of my own. Thanks for setting the record straight Tommasso. Cheers man!

[@TylerLL2112]

Woodeso's Guitar Mods Oh shit I'm subbed to you. When you mentioned your guitar channel I looked at the name. Take care!

[@Comp3630]

Damn...sounds awesome!! This is my favorite tone thus far in all the frettefamerica vids.

[@millmoormichael6630]

Comp3630 1966 Tele..

[@tonylarsonstudio]

How do 26 people give this a thumbs down? I can watch this shit all day. Thank you Phil!

[@marsattacks7071]

My God ! With 2 good hands and some Van Halen riffs, that guitar becomes a BEAST ! Can you hear the genius of Van Halen like I do ? Respect...

[@Stratomacaster]

My favorite Drills tune...

[@KoungaMichelAnge]

Every time i watch you videos i find the strenght to train more so i can be as skilled as you are. Thank you :)

[@thehobbit1116]

Uncle Salty the second song on Toys in the Attic. You were playing Adam's Apple, the third song. Those are the best two songs on that album.

[@boocho1]

..'zactly..

[@kasnitch]

Phil you are one of the best ranged guitarists with feel there is imo. Long journey and happiness man. You bring good things to life here. fuck GE.

[@vanessajazp6341]

SOOO nice to see & hear a great guitarist in 2014 showing love for the great classic rock sound of the 70's and 80's!!

[@carloreubenvongerkin9760]

Q: What do you get when you cross Val Kilmer with Sammy Hagar and a touch of Geddy Lee? A: You're watching him

[@roadkillscjim]

"I'm in tune enough..." ahahaahahahahaahahaahah BEEN THERE.....We need a whole a vid of Phil quotes :-)

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

the difference is when phil is out of tune you definitely are not going to know it.

[@papasqueezeable]

Man, the moment he switched to the Marshall... That thing sounds insane, nothing like my 2203X.

[@jamiee172]

Wow, five minutes of him just goofing off on the guitar sounds better than anything, and I mean anything that's out there today!!!

[@sammyhaddad]

I want some of those pickups! Along with the amp! That rocked! Thanks Phil!

[@lucasstevason]

That guitar sounds great! Also Phil is a beast!

[@CAPT1ANGU1TAR]

Best PhilX vid I've seen in a while! Great guitar and great playing!

[@waynewhiteside6687]

That is a great sounding Strat. It sounds great in both amps. I love all the fun he has. It comes right through. So much energy...! Great band Phil.

[@MirkoLoncar]

Man, those pickups sound amazing!

[@ElixZilla95]

Adams Apple, Phil lol not Uncle Salty You're a great guitarist by the way. Been watching your videos since the beginning!

[@rush2795]

haha wangbar

[@bigfry1979]

Think you need more tape for the mic! LOL

[@smileyssean]

lol... I agree!!! You can never have enough tape for Phil's mic. :D

[@rockkevinrock]

Seeing this man just FRYIN' BACON on every type of guitar is so inspiring. Phil, you're a diamond, man. Don't ever change. We love ya.

[@lucasborba44]

Dude, that solo from "I wish my beer was as cold as your heart" is SUPER sweet! Phil X rules!

[@Erowens98]

Whoever wound these pickups should be very very proud, One of the best sounding strats i've ever heard!

[@Chirbeef]

Hey, Phil. Can you tell us about your experience with Andrew W.K.? Maybe what tracks you played on? Always been curious about that connection.

[@milesotoole8664]

you look so cute with your matching guitars

[@voskresene]

What a great guitar. And it sounds awesome through that Marshall. And man, Phil nails Somebody Get Me a Doctor.

[@blackngoldfan2004]

Remember back in the day, everybody with denim jackets with Iron Maiden, Van Halen, or Bon Jovi back patches? A PhilX back patch would be rad as shit.

[@jamespowell1175]

IMHO 'Somebody Get Me a Doctor' was one of Eddie's most interesting solo's. Phil X rules!

[@jalan6473]

I love the guitars Phil plays here...but I watch these video's now to see the Drills play at the end. The studio mix you got goin on emphasizing the talent here is superb! The drums...power! The bass....deep perfect power! Phil's guitars....incredible! Keep them commin...please!!! :)

[@Sco3000]

Not Uncle Salty, but Adam's Apple!

[@jxstr]

I'm requesting a rob chapman & Phil x reunion video. Who's with me?

[@jtprasadi515]

this guitar sounds so much better than a stratocaster

[@davidmakofka204]

Phil is awesome, and so is that guitar.

[@VerdeKidz]

Aerosmith-Adam's apple ;)

[@matblac19]

Am I the only one who thinks Phil has lost his touch?

[@matblac19]

good to know

[@wampumbiskit]

Arghhh.... no lenny.... Nice guitar , although personally I don't care much for the tags....

[@RH-vl2wy]

Dude cracks me up and he plays good too... 😂😂😂😂wish my beer was as cold as your heart!!!

[@ixis99]

Phil I really enjoyed watching you play that thing.You have it

[@Sam785211578]

You guys should make an album only with those band set recordings, it would be killer!

[@DREWKAREOKE]

Phil cracks me up wish he lived next door, that would make for some crazy weekends I bet

[@nelsondejesus2796]

Response to rbage155: A Fender Vibro King with 3x10'' P10R Alnico to do the tone works of a typical Plexi is incredible! It sounded amazingly adept as it was designed to do just that! I was jamming on my Fender '65 Vibrolux RI ''Lil Vibro King'' with the same outfit but 40watts and only 2x10''P10R's, a MIM Strat Standard with 3 Texas Specials plugged into the JHS (Klon Mod) Soul Food and even though I didn't want it,.. nailed SRV's ''Voodoo Child'' which is what it naturally afforded me it seems everything is designed to sound that way ''SRV'' regardless of the Callaham bridge system and the mods of a blend and no load tone for my personal tastes! So my point is that, Phil bless him, gets what I was seeking and knowing he achieved it gives me motivation to attempt the same! Either way the outcome of his playing just seems natural whether the Evil Robot with the''Evil Monkey'' lol...or Vibro King there's alot to learn from watching others, couldn't tell he switched to a Marshall to do the baddest EVH song ''I'm The One'' it all sounds great, up there with the bestest of them all! You Go Phil! ''You're The One''! BTW I modded my Bad Monkey to sound like a Boosta with a transparent EQ tonestack and sans the overtones that sounds like blown filter caps!

[@jobsgarage]

It is not "Thomasso", it's "Tommaso" (the "s" must be pronounced like the "z" in "Zappa") and "Paoletti" is not like "Pao-lady", more like "Pao-leh-tee" ;-) Have a kickass Italian day! ;-P

[@CHRIS-pz5sr]

Man Phil you certainly kill it every time you play some killer riffs I love that you're self taught like myself I'm a beginner but I'm definitely inspired by you...thanks

[@WLOMA]

Nice guitar ! A bit to expensive for me but i think for a quitar made out of 130 year old chestnut wood , its probably worth it. (Didn't know that chestwood was used for wine barrels. I always thought that oak was mainly used for vinery.) Great song from The Drills ...

[@ascitiesburn672]

I absolutely love your "secret" infatuation with Free Ride. It's one of my favorite songs. Kick ass dude!

[@davidsteinberg2120]

More than anything on this video or perhaps any he's done, that exactly nail the tone of that song

[@tompatrick5542]

Damn Phil, you rock bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! from the first time I saw you doing you thang, It put me in a good mood and like clock work if I'm down a bit I put on one of your vids and I'm smiling and forget why I was down a bit to begin with. Thanx X

[@TheAlfaproyect]

We can ask the titles of the songs that you are playing from now on?? By the way the guitar sounds awesome!!! And Phil!!! And The Drills too!!!

[@Skibble5150]

Awesome fucking tune guys. Love this one. I hate middle pickups too for the same reason Phil! Greetings from Mintreal!

[@drdanr]

I just spent 3 hours watching your videos...Now my wife is mad at me and I should be outside doing yardwork....I'll get to it in another two hours. Never heard of you until today when I looked for Gibson SG 1966 vids and found your stash. How the hell did I not see this shit years ago

[@ChristBurner]

so im hangin out at work last night, at some corporate state farm event at the Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, where Bon Jovi is playing and guess who I run into? I'll give you a hint... Hes super nice in real life haha. Super rad running into you Phil! Totally made my day :)

[@Crankerny58]

Dude that Drills jam was sic!!

[@toby1kenobe]

If satchel was a real guy he would be Phil X!! What a cool video!!!

[@BRANDON727673]

Ed and Dave combined don't sound as good as the man Mr.X..!

[@intrsoul]

What fretboard radius? Please talk Paoletti into selling the pickups individually.

[@chavarigo]

is the Bass player the one that uploaded a video Cover of " hey you " from Pink Floyd?? with unwounded strings?

[@kipponi]

Just found this maybe one of best PhilX reviews. Guitar sounds perfect string separation every note can be heard even high gain settings. Killer Stratocaster.

[@rasvial]

I like these videos but this guitar I'm not sold on.. expensive tacky looking strat with a 1800's industrial vibe.. and sounds like turd. I mean not the worst sounding guitar.. but it doesn't touch an actual strat and costs waaaay too much

[@ZYVZX]

Why do you guys have all this gear but can't afford to record this on decent recording equipment? Come on. That's just half ass. The Bandgeeks channel have all their videos recorded pretty decently enough so that if you liked one of their covers, you could download it and listen to it later as a real song.

[@markanthony653]

If that guy only knew the talent he's got,,, he has no idea, I'm 62 years old I've seen a lot of guitar players in my life a lot,, PX could Easley B one of the best, That's some pretty serious words.

[@burningmike403]

philx1111 Dude, every time you play Van Halen, it just makes my day. Awesome stuff!!

[@hendersonskater]

Silly Phil. That's Adams Apple by Aerosmith. Right next to each other on the album tho. Love it!

[@bobolsen8067]

Ha..ha you are a sick puppy Phil!(In a good way)and stop the Van halen stuff its terrible..ha.

[@nwbybooby]

I think the neck pups are disappointing compared to the middle/bridge. To me it sounds a bit too dull, and doesn't have that subtle attack you can find on like a 60s strat. Just an opinion

[@hotriffsofthrash]

Hi Phil. How do you prefer your action on fender strats? really low? high? or in between? if you could let me know i would appreciate it. I normally like really low action on my les paul but my strat feels like it should be a touch higher in order to play right and get better tone.

[@marcussoderlind8033]

Play Black And Blue By Van Halen on the next video! And as always, great freakn video!

[@coffeewaldo]

I could use a good dr that actually helps me instead if just billing me for nothing. Somebody get me a dr.

[@johnhiggins9851]

dude phil x friday kicks ass every friday after work I mix some chocolate milk heat some shit up in the microwave and watch lmfao

[@guitartec]

Whoa, what type of strap button screws does that guitar have... Phillip or flathead?

[@BramClaes]

About the trem: why is there a regular 6 screw vintage trem in there? Wouldn't it be better to stick maybe a wilkinson with a roller nut in there? (especially considering they were clearly not going for the vintage correct vibe)

[@samboraguru]

Hi Bram! There's also a model with Floyd Rose Original Tremolo system! :) For the standard HSS and SSS Strats we shot for a more vintage style tremolos

[@AJHans12]

whoever is mixing the songs in all these videos is absolutely horrid. but never the less great playing and great sounding guitar. :)

[@JIMJAMSC]

That guitar needs some Proactive rubbed on it. Or maybe some Valtrex.

[@MrJoshDoty]

I like the sound of Nancy from the June video better. This is still a very nice sounding guitar though. Is it a Nancy too?

[@chilipepers2134]

I had a girlfriend nicknamed humbucker. Try to guess why.

[@coradetherow4528]

Sooo I can pick pretty fast but I can't like, match it up to the same speed as my fingers. The fuck is up with that?

[@GoToEleven11]

Damn.. that was one great drummer on the song they played. I LOVE GREAT DRUMMERS! All drummers that kick ass join my band and let's rule the world with your insane beat pounding skills.

[@GoToEleven11]

Then again don't join, because I already have a kickass drummer. Let's tour together instead!

[@theynvme417]

one of my favorite Phil x Phridays in a while \m/

I'm pretty sure phil has the best job in the world

[@tiborrisko7349]

WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE! :D

[@bluwng]

The tone is better than any of the vintage instruments you have demoed. Do they sell these pickups on their website?

[@jameskrys5286]

Most wine barrels are made from oak, but maybe not in Italy and maybe not 150 years ago.

[@loganmiller3710]

am i the only person who cant stand non locking trems? give me a floyd or a tune-o-matic every time.

[@AllanGildea]

Great stuff Phil!
