Fretted Americana releases a new Phil X video and you can practically hear 50,000 guitar plays shout "YES!" Not to get all Masters Thesis, but for some of us Phil X and Rob Chapman have replaced the TV stars that the giant corporate entertainment goliaths would rather have us watch. Imagine pitching Phil X to a tv executive - "Well, this guy is nuts and he screams his own name a lot, and he plays guitar and sings, and sometimes he messes up the song and laughs, and he swears. I don't get it, but the kids love it." Would. Not. Fly. But I bought a Gibson Les Paul 50s tribute with P90's because of these videos. If I could have cable TV with all channels OR UA-cam, I'd pick UA-cam. Oh, and Phil, thanks for the "erection" line which made me choke on my coffee.
I would like to add to this with an open letter to Hollywood. Let's begin. Dear Hollywood, I would rather watch anything, I repeat anything, uploaded by PhilX, Rob Chapman, Tim Pierce, Steel Panther, Dave's World Of Fun, Adam The Woo and a select few additional UA-cam hosts than the vast majority of all your productions combined. You have failed miserably in your attempt to attract my attention, or to entertain, inform and enlighten me. Signed, a Los Angeles resident
I fuckin' love this guy, he is awesome and easily my favorite guitar player on UA-cam he always makes the video exciting and I cant wait to watch more!
OMG PHIL! I heard this song back in the late 70's on AM radio and loved it right from the start but never knew who did it until now. I often sang fragments of it in my head over the years but was lost...now I am found! HA!
The library of rock and roll in your head never ceases to amaze me. Singing Dio is rough enough but doing it 1/2 step up from the original? Brutal. Killer as usual.
Goddamnit Phil!! You never cease blowing my mind with that encyclopedic knowledge of every cool song or riff ever freaking written!! When will you ever bring the Drills to Atlanta??
Thanks again Phil, very entertaining. I always get a good laugh and I am reminded of some great songs when I stop by for a few minutes. I will be checking my inbox for some tickets next time you play in LA ;)... Happy new year!
Very tasty playing in the beginning of the vid. Now I get why you were a studio guy. You obviously have mad skills and spent a lot of time in the woodshed practicing and learning more than just riff and shred. It reminds me of how Roy Clark cut up with the jokes and good playing most of the time but every once in a while he'd get serious and play something that would make everyone set up and recognize how much knowledge and ability he has. For what it's worth ( which admittedly isn't much) you earned my respect with this one.
Yes!!! Man! Finally, someone got this thAng about P90's and driven marshall! Always knew you know the ways to run the damn show! So happy now! Killer episode! You're the man! :)
damn Phil. your videos are the highlight of my month. I can't remember the song I learned last year. how the heck do you do it? you are #1 on my "guys to have a beer with".
+joe99173122 Really getting tired of Canadians coming to America because they can't make their careers successful in Lilleputt Canada. Time for America just to make Canada part of the USA, voluntarily or by force.
Phil you, VH, and jimmy paige are my favorite guitarist. I have always loved your vids and the drills. Have you ever played a hagstrom ultra swede? keep on doin what ya do man. My life has been suckin lately but when i watch you play it brightens my day and i forget about what is stressin me. Hope to see you in new orleans soon.
I was about to write that I'm surprised how tiny this axe sounded... and then he switched to Marshall... and I'm sitting there just trying to imagine words I could use to describe how amazing that tone was.
Phil X reminds me of a guitar teacher I used to go to years ago, Barry Hammett from Fat Barry's soul band (Not implying Phil shares the physical appearance as Barry). He used to play all different kinds of shit but rather than learn how to play songs I'd actually learn about them. Love your channel Phil, keep rockin!
Don't mind the hating Phil 'cause you're awesomeeeee! I loved the sound of the guitar especially when you played Strangledhold. Oh, I haven't heard Children Of The Sea for a long time, thanks for reminding me, you are great! \m/
Hey guys I bought an album of Phil X but the songs that are in intros are most of the time not in the album, what is the name of the album? like with the song in the intro
I like it when Phil plays new songs and it's just him.
That guitar through the Marshal is one of the best sounds I've ever had in my ears ever. Ever.
Phil X is my hero. I look forward to these videos like no other.
I really dig that clean on this guitar!!
"I don't know any jazz. In know one... and I forgot it." - Phil X.
Awesome.
What a beautiful and well sounding Guitar..
One of the best guitars I have ever heard you play Phil!
Phil never gets old ! I'm always looking forward to fridays !!
Phil X and these videos are a highlight of life.

Friday entertainment at Its best! Rock on Phil and greetings from Sweden!

Might be the best sounding guitar on FA ever. That clean sound is amazing. Sitting on edge of seat for some OD.
Beautiful guitar!
The guitarist from Killing Joke plays this guitar. What an incredible instrument.
😢
Hair standing up on the back of my neck when the Marshall kicks in. It's like they were made for each other.
John Schwarzkopf update: forgot about this video, came across it again, saw my comment, watched the video, same result.
John Schwarzkopf i love when that happens.
Awesome job on Children of the Sea, too. One of my fave songs of all time.
HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE PHIL X.....THIS IS ONE OF HIS BEST VIDS.
Phil X is the best thing on UA-cam on Fridays.
Long.. LONG... may it continue... (are you listening Phil?)
I can watch these videos for hours at a time... brilliant talent!
I fuckin' love this guy, he is awesome and easily my favorite guitar player on UA-cam he always makes the video exciting and I cant wait to watch more!
OMG PHIL!
I heard this song back in the late 70's on AM radio and loved it right from the start but never knew who did it until now. I often sang fragments of it in my head over the years but was lost...now I am found! HA!
Phil's always FUN!
Every week i see your jam sessions and it inspires me to pick up my guitar and Rock! Thanks Phil X, you are CHINGON!!!
The library of rock and roll in your head never ceases to amaze me. Singing Dio is rough enough but doing it 1/2 step up from the original? Brutal. Killer as usual.
Sounds AWESOME!!!
More ES's!! Yes!!
Goddamnit Phil!! You never cease blowing my mind with that encyclopedic knowledge of every cool song or riff ever freaking written!! When will you ever bring the Drills to Atlanta??
Faking through Rock Around the Clock and it sounding good. Well done. And that Marshal sound was entrancing. Something like that.
That guitar sounds GOOD!
Very cool! Long live Phil X & the Drills!
Thank you Ronny
This guy is surely awesome fuckin musician and demonstrator.
I literally was like "WHAT?!" when he switched to the Marshall...!
Sound exactly like Geordie Walker
@@thirdeyes9993 it's why I'm here
We need you back man..
That was really cool ! Thank you !!
I like your videos!
Dude as always great video, love the Gibson 295, you are so much fun to watch and listen to man. Come back to the UK soon.
This guitar probably has one of the best cleans I've heard to date from FrettedAmericana god damnnnnnnn
Brilliant and so entertaining
Every guitar looks cool strapped to the boy X.
That was great! And you crack me up to!lol
Always enjoy watching Phil!
Love the tone of both pickups. :D
that old les paul trapeze bridge/tailpiece looks awesome. sound is unbelievable. it's the p90 growl at its best.
Unbelievable tone!
Uau, não conhecia essa guitarra, bela guitarra e que belo som.
Thanks again Phil, very entertaining. I always get a good laugh and I am reminded of some great songs when I stop by for a few minutes. I will be checking my inbox for some tickets next time you play in LA ;)... Happy new year!
Just...WOW!
もう何回、何百回この動画も観てるけど、フィルはスゲェわ。神やわ。最高‼️
Dude this made my fucking week thanks a lot, Phil and the guys at frettedamericana!
i dig the new style of the FA/Phil X Videos!!
Omg that sounds amazing.......
I never knew that guitar could sound so sexy with overdrive but the clean was just even more sexy
Great video!!!!
I know it's a jazz box, but that thing sounds amazing with distortion!! Great vid.
Beautiful sound on the neck p/u!
Very tasty playing in the beginning of the vid. Now I get why you were a studio guy. You obviously have mad skills and spent a lot of time in the woodshed practicing and learning more than just riff and shred.

great demonstration of how much the amp is part of your instrument tone...
Yes!!! Man! Finally, someone got this thAng about P90's and driven marshall! Always knew you know the ways to run the damn show! So happy now! Killer episode! You're the man! :)
Phil X wins the internet with that Children of the Sea ! :)) AWESOME ! even though the lyrics were slightly wrong.
awesome sheet
Nice Stranglehold .Uncle Ted would be proud.
Great guitar sounds almost like a Byrdlander
"Look out! Black! Black!" Awesome.
P-90's and guitar and Phil X...Yeah!!!
Another KICK ASS Phil X Friday video! You rock brother! Keep em comin'!
damn Phil. your videos are the highlight of my month. I can't remember the song I learned last year. how the heck do you do it? you are #1 on my "guys to have a beer with".
Dang that thing sounds good.
i loved your guitar cover of the late Ronnie James Dio black sabbath song children of the sea. great work, brought back many memories. thank you
Friggin amazing bro... Wow hey DUSTIN ... Great song choice bud! And Phil you nailed it man. Killer tone. Cheers
Sweet mother lemon. That guitar sounds sweet!
Hey Phil!
Cool videos bud!
PEACE!
A-G-D: The holy grail of rock power chord progressions.
The Bill Haley bit was brilliant!
Jamming sitting down or standing up, you can jam anyway you want, what ever floats your boat or rocks your socks off :))
I love it when Dustin forgets to censor something - 4:32 :-)
joe99173122 So sure I forgot??? ;)
frettedamericana Haha! YES! Let the man swear, Dustin! Our innocent virgin ears can handle it! :-)
+joe99173122 Really getting tired of Canadians coming to America because they can't make their careers successful in Lilleputt Canada. Time for America just to make Canada part of the USA, voluntarily or by force.
idioto
Hahaha . We're totally not interested thanks! And yes your entertainment industry is larger than ours..Bravo! You have become your own reality show!
Phil's so good I can hear the drums when theirs not any drums
ROCK ON
Man I miss Phil X fridays. Bring him back Fretted Americana... pretty please!
No outro jam? Could've kicked some serious ass when ripping some Nugent tunes on that one.
Jamming sitting down is not allowed.
MrDroogii Damn.
Except Robert Fripps. He can shred without standing and hanging guitar low.
I knew KNEW he was going to play Stranglehold. epic
Any way we can see some Phil X action on a 1964 JB Hutto Montgomery Ward Airliner with the Res-O-Glass body?
PURELL!🙌
I was hoping for some Killing Joke.
Geordie Walker is one of the most underrated guitarists. I'd like to see Phil try playing 'the fall of because' or perhaps 'fire dances'.
Love like Blood would be great or Eighties.
Phil you, VH, and jimmy paige are my favorite guitarist. I have always loved your vids and the drills. Have you ever played a hagstrom ultra swede? keep on doin what ya do man. My life has been suckin lately but when i watch you play it brightens my day and i forget about what is stressin me. Hope to see you in new orleans soon.
dude, thx for the message. mentioning my name with some of my faves is flattering but I'm glad I could help with the gloom.
philx1111 4:31 you're missing those gun shot noises/ censor, if you know what I mean haha
You Nailed "Stranglehold"
But with that Axe I would expect "Eighties" by Killing Joke.
The JMP always sounds amazing, but it really likes this guitar.
I was about to write that I'm surprised how tiny this axe sounded... and then he switched to Marshall... and I'm sitting there just trying to imagine words I could use to describe how amazing that tone was.
Hey Phil, is there any guitar that you haven't done yet that you REALLY want to try out? If so, which one?
What is the link to the video of the les paul goldtop you reviewed with that tailpiece? (strings went under)
Phil x is such a cool dude haha
7:34 Woah. That was some nice sound.

Massive sound through the Marshall
Hey guys I bought an album of Phil X but the songs that are in intros are most of the time not in the album, what is the name of the album? like with the song in the intro
Cool!
What's Phil playing around 3:15?
Don't cry that it's over. Smile that it happened. Nuff said
More Phil X please.....
