Zep and AC/DC 1959 Gibson Les Paul Junior

[@GazMoz78]

People, Phil X is gone! It's a sad fact, but it is a fact. The channel is essentially, nay actually, about vintage guitars. So enjoy the vintage guitars being played as opposed to being stored in a private collection :-)

[@vincentdelmas2792]

thx for the info. Where is he now ?

[@iamjondavid]

@@vincentdelmas2792 On tour and in studio with Bon Jovi and essentially just being a guitar rock god where ever he goes.

[@javiersanz29]

You made me pick up my guitar and play some of the songs you play. For me, that's what is all about. Thanks, man, and thanks frettedamericana

[@frettedamericana]

AND THATS WHY WE DO THIS :) keep playing!

[@GuitarHeroPhenomSux]

Les Paul Junior has been on my wishlist for some time. Beautiful guitar. The age doesn't even show on this one. If all these finishes are original, it goes to show how remarkably well they've been taken care of.

[@StuartHerrington]

Nice to see some new videos! Looking forward to the next one 🙌

[@NickCutroneo]

Opening the video with some Liquid Tension Experiment is always a win! I’ll definitely keep watching the channel!

[@dewwhatchadew1]

great episode today, great guitar too

[@VoxMax1200]

Wow!! Pretty versatile guitar for just having one the one bridge P90 and a volume and a tone control!!

[@Joeobrown1]

this title couldn't be much more appealing to me, love les paul juniors

[@brianmckenzie1318]

Awesome! Didn't think much of double cuts, but this changed my mind. Tone was awesome! Loved the playing Michael Grant! On a side note, hopefully all the Phil comparisons will fade. I am a Phil X fan, but things change and move forward. Tough to follow the original in any situation, a no win situation for all. I for one, really enjoy learning from new and different musicians! Expands ones horizons. I had heard of Michael Grant prior, and from seeing him here, have become a fan! \m/

[@frettedamericana]

AWESOME and Thank you very much!

[@dimebagdarrell4196]

Yeah, the fact that both Phil and Michael are different is great!! We don't want anybody to try to be Phil, so having Michael is totallyy awesome🤘🏻

[@Gloveberg1]

If Mr Dustin Jack reads this are you ever going to put the random sound effects back in? I miss those...lol

[@frettedamericana]

YES i will!! just for you! ;)

[@Gloveberg1]

frettedamericana Hell Yeah!!!! \m/\m/ Don’t ask me why but they never failed to make me laugh every time.

[@DonThorvund]

Great job, Dustin and Michael!

[@Rick-ro8bf]

Mick Jones... Foreigner or The Clash not the stones dude. Maybe if Brian Jones and Mick Taylor had a baby LOL!

[@ClydeMiles]

Think you forgot Johnny Thunders?

[@TheOfficialCaseMade]

Massive Phil X fan, and this guy kicks ass. Keep it up!

[@Guitars77OA6]

Definitely an AC/DC sounding guitar. Great song choice and overall pretty solid description of the guitar. Keep at it! :)

[@dbhoogewerf]

This video convinced me to buy the 2019 Les Paul Junior DC

[@tonya4157]

Rock on man! You got this.

[@russclark6780]

LP Jr. is a fucking rock 'n' roll machine. Straight up, balls out tone. Killer. I must have one!

[@kzohf]

Was that Paradigm Shift by Liquid Tension Experiment in the beginning? If so, nicely done.

[@bladerunner12]

Hell yeah it was

[@khaledhafez7700]

Sold. Great tone and great playing.

[@clivedavies3]

Did a good job selling the guitar to me this guys got his own style and yes I'm a Phil fan.

[@sammyrussell936]

Awesome

[@kennycaligula3081]

Great playing by Michael Grant!!

[@KyleTheGuitarGuy]

You had me at AC/DC ;)

[@kjk811]

Damn I love those noisy p90s. So gritty, roll back the volume and they breathe. Man don’t forget the almighty mr thunders rocked these as well!

[@Disco-Terry]

Shit didn't realise you guys were uploading again, nice !

[@Oggi7777]

Very nice man... you remind me of Punky Meadows.

[@WoodesosGuitarMods]

Wednesday is the day all the best guitars are made... that Jr. IS some Wednesday shit;-)

[@chriskron2512]

I can dig it.... I'm picking up, whatcha puttin down.

[@TorbenRimmer]

Oh.......Shit i miss Phill. I miss the humor and the honesty.

[@magnoliawildwind8248]

Torben Rimmer Quit your bitchin’! If you miss Phil, quit watching and unfollow... or better off, try to be as good as MG instead of yapping and bitching!

[@UnknownEntryRetype]

Michael Grant is f**cking rocking it! Looks like he's really relaxing in to it. Also, killer guitar!

[@Hulkhoagie1]

Phil X is one of a kind. Michael Grant is a great player and just wacky enough for this to work. I'm digging it.

[@chrisheise2912]

Great sound. What are you plugged into? Good job Michael! 🎸

[@frettedamericana]

everything we did on this session was a Supro, rolled off for clean

[@muse-mech-moda]

Blimey! This chap is a bit good. I hope to hear many more videos from him. Well done Fretted Americana! :-)

[@Music10161]

I always wanted a junior like that with a dog ear going to an output, no controls in between.

[@Robstafarian]

Install a DPDT pot and wire it to bypass the controls.

[@PicassoPerformedMyCircumcision]

Look into an AXL BULLDOG, it comes with a "bite switch" which is a bypass. They should be dirt cheap on reverb.

[@panatela001]

Mick Taylor?

[@Bodyknowledge77]

Mick Jones from ...The Clash

[@ScottJamesHicks]

Mic somebody... from the rolling foreigner clash! Let’s rock! Anyone got a beer?! 👍🏻👍🏻😂🤣 P90 all up in this bee-eye-itch! Niiieeeeece. guuuuuoooood.

[@phynx2006]

Really starting to enjoy Michael Grant's guitar interpretations, great job 🎸

[@Ryan_Thompson_Guitarist]

What happened with Phil x? Any reason why he doesn't do these videos anymore?

[@inkpinz]

He's busy playing with Bon Jovi now...

[@magnoliawildwind8248]

Love Michael Grant! So refreshing and talented beyond comprehension...

[@tao123451]

Playing Liquid Tension Experiment at the beginning. I’m starting to like this guy already. Also I would like to ask what happened to Jared Nichols?

[@frettedamericana]

Nothing, He's out touring and playing... follow his Instagram! hopefully we can get him back for another session, but in the mean time we will try to bring you great guitars and players and highlight these great guitars!

[@kiketrujillo4990]

Touring

[@frantisca]

Jared is pursuing a brilliant career: saw him in Paris, awesome performance and very friendly guy 👍🏻🤘🏻

[@jordandelacruz1866]

Nice demo! Michael Grant Rocks!! Also where’d you land those cool threads brother!! Also curious what amp and if any pedals you use generally speaking! Cheers mate

[@terryjohinke8065]

Where's Phil? Keith Richards has an old ( now Wite LP JR double cut). I played an old 61 SG Style one in a band as they wanted me as their singer. You can do just about anything on a single GIBSON P-90. Gee they're good. Looks too clean . I like 'em aged.

[@Owen_plays_music1049]

I mis Phil X, but i must admist this guy is good

[@TheAxe4Ever]

Rolling Stones? Mick Jones? Really dude? LMAO!!! But still pretty good demo and explanation of the guitar and decent playing. I especially liked that you told the DC resistance of the pickup. Good information for a potential buyer to know. Kudos.

[@frettedamericana]

it was a slip! ;) not an easy gig to do spontaneously .... thanks for watching

[@TheAxe4Ever]

frettedamericana Just busting on him. It is easy to slip. Like I said, he did a really good job showing and explaining the guitar.

Yes, four.. OOOO's 😅🔥

[@soundpainter2590]

1'st yr of ( Double cut ) LP Jr's is 58. & back then, it wasn't "Regular Mahogany" NO PROBLEM getting that now. It's HONDURAN MAHOGANY ! [ Banned by the CITES Act, International, & The Lacy act, .... Along with Brazilian rosewood ect. Honduran is a Tropical species, that grows in a VERY Wet environment. Sooo, when it's "Seasoned" or dried by current, infearior methods there are WAY more pore holes than the arid grown, sub-Saharan African species. WAY LIGHTER & More RESONANT !!... THIS IS WHY, 50's & other Honduran built guitars Sound & feel better. ( I've owned many) they were just " used guitars" not so long ago. On a double cut LP jr, the neck joins the body most of the way up the pickguard. ( dovetail, W hide glue) my 58 Tv model, actually rings LOUD ! ( Not even plugged in) !! & pluged into a 50W 71 4 input ( No master Volume) mk ll Marshall... Things in the warehouse Levitate ! & fall !! Straight up UNREAL ! & NOT for sale. Ooh... & Billy joe Notstrong uses a single cut. Not that it matters... It's his eyeliner that gets him his "tone" 3rd gen "Punk" Hilarious !!

[@brianj.4449]

Your playing is great! Some tips for the next session though: 1. Stop hiding behind the hat. 2. Look straight into the camera, SMILE and project confidence 3. You don't need a ring, 5 bracelets, 5 badges, chains and such to be rock'n'roll, just the right attitude

[@brianj.4449]

Starting a comment with pfff clearly states who is talking out of his ass. I loved this demo and I'm so glad they are moving on and posting again. This is constructive criticism of a video I enjoyed very much. Say what you want but the reason people love Phil so much is his attitude. I didn't even mention him in my comment. You my friend have no idea about my talent, but that has nothing to do with this video or my good intentions.

[@brianj.4449]

Angus doesn't hide behind his hat. He projects confidence. He could be naked or in an astronaut's suit for all I care. I wish this guy well, and he plays good. All the jewelry is unnecessary and can only damage the finish. I assume you're watching these videos for entertainment, just as I am, and not to spend tens of thousands of dollars on vintage guitars, so you should stop getting upset over youtube comments.

[@magnoliawildwind8248]

I’ll tell you what, Mr. Brian J. Why don’t you start your own video and take your own advice. Stop hiding behind your computer screen. Show us what you got! I’m certain that you don’t have 5% of Michael Grant’s talent. That’s a challenge for ya!😉🙂

[@Neil-Aspinall]

No Phil X is this guy either playing or character wise.

[@thiagodevares9512]

Yeah, ok... Where is Phill X?
