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.
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!
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!
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!
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
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! :)
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.
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".
Wonderful... I know that this may only serve to fuel Phil's ego, but his talent and humour get him through. As a 'guitarist' I watch his videos and laugh and cry in equal amounts.
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.
Wow. 10:45 blew my mind. This guitar is phenomenal. That marshal is fantastic. Best guitar I've ever heard. Listened to some Phil X Byrdland, SG, Gretsch & Les Paul reviews before this, but this guitar beat them all. Wow.
+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.
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/
The guitar player on rock around the clock fell of the stairs shortly after the recording and died. He never lived to know the fame of his awesome guitar solo
Yes, Danny Cedrone did die shortly after he recorded "Rock Around The Clock". He had played the same lead on Haley's "Rock This Joint" a few years earlier. I read he was paid $21 dollars. He really was the original "rock shredder". It's sad that he never got to see how many people he influenced through his playing. He was an immense talent.
I can not not afford any of the guitars I see on these videos and the chance of ever getting to play one is a big fat zero. I also can't play like this because I'm lazy or can't find the time. Thanks Fretted Americana & Phil for presenting a entertaining show than many of us enjoy. Cheers!
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 don't know any jazz. In know one... and I forgot it." - Phil X.
Awesome.
Phil X is the best thing on UA-cam on Fridays.
Long.. LONG... may it continue... (are you listening Phil?)
Phil never gets old ! I'm always looking forward to fridays !!
One of the best guitars I have ever heard you play Phil!
I really dig that clean on this guitar!!
Might be the best sounding guitar on FA ever. That clean sound is amazing. Sitting on edge of seat for some OD.
Thanks for these videos Phil. You've got a lot of talent bud.
Phil X and these videos are a highlight of life.
Friday entertainment at Its best! Rock on Phil and greetings from Sweden!
I can watch these videos for hours at a time... brilliant talent!
phil X friday ? the best moment of the week !!!! for sure !!!!
What a beautiful and well sounding Guitar..
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.
HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE PHIL X.....THIS IS ONE OF HIS BEST VIDS.
Awesome job on Children of the Sea, too. One of my fave songs of all time.
Beautiful guitar!
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 guitarist from Killing Joke plays this guitar. What an incredible instrument.
😢
Every week i see your jam sessions and it inspires me to pick up my guitar and Rock! Thanks Phil X, you are CHINGON!!!
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!
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??
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.
Sounds AWESOME!!!
Faking through Rock Around the Clock and it sounding good. Well done. And that Marshal sound was entrancing. Something like that.
Very cool! Long live Phil X & the Drills!
This guitar probably has one of the best cleans I've heard to date from FrettedAmericana god damnnnnnnn
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!
That was great! And you crack me up to!lol
Always enjoy watching Phil!

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! :)
i dig the new style of the FA/Phil X Videos!!
More ES's!! Yes!!
that old les paul trapeze bridge/tailpiece looks awesome. sound is unbelievable. it's the p90 growl at its best.
Love the tone of both pickups. :D
Every guitar looks cool strapped to the boy X.

Another KICK ASS Phil X Friday video! You rock brother! Keep em comin'!
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.
Uau, não conhecia essa guitarra, bela guitarra e que belo som.
Thank you Ronny
Friggin amazing bro... Wow hey DUSTIN ... Great song choice bud! And Phil you nailed it man. Killer tone. Cheers
I like your videos!
Dude this made my fucking week thanks a lot, Phil and the guys at frettedamericana!
Unbelievable tone!
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‼️
I know it's a jazz box, but that thing sounds amazing with distortion!! Great vid.
awesome sheet
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".
Just...WOW!
Beautiful sound on the neck p/u!
This guy is surely awesome fuckin musician and demonstrator.
Sweet mother lemon. That guitar sounds sweet!
Brilliant and so entertaining
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
Great video!!!!
Wonderful... I know that this may only serve to fuel Phil's ego, but his talent and humour get him through. As a 'guitarist' I watch his videos and laugh and cry in equal amounts.
Omg that sounds amazing.......
I never knew that guitar could sound so sexy with overdrive but the clean was just even more sexy
Nice Stranglehold .Uncle Ted would be proud.
Great guitar sounds almost like a Byrdlander
Hey Phil!
Cool videos bud!
PEACE!
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.
A-G-D: The holy grail of rock power chord progressions.
Jamming sitting down or standing up, you can jam anyway you want, what ever floats your boat or rocks your socks off :))
Dang that thing sounds good.
great demonstration of how much the amp is part of your instrument tone...
Wow. 10:45 blew my mind. This guitar is phenomenal. That marshal is fantastic. Best guitar I've ever heard. Listened to some Phil X Byrdland, SG, Gretsch & Les Paul reviews before this, but this guitar beat them all. Wow.
Man I miss Phil X fridays. Bring him back Fretted Americana... pretty please!
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! :-)

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!
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.
"Look out! Black! Black!" Awesome.
The JMP always sounds amazing, but it really likes this guitar.
The Bill Haley bit was brilliant!
P-90's and guitar and Phil X...Yeah!!!
Phil's so good I can hear the drums when theirs not any drums
Don't cry that it's over. Smile that it happened. Nuff said
Phil X wins the internet with that Children of the Sea ! :)) AWESOME ! even though the lyrics were slightly wrong.
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/
7:34 Woah. That was some nice sound.
I knew KNEW he was going to play Stranglehold. epic
What's Phil playing around 3:15?
Massive sound through the Marshall
PURELL!🙌
Heaven and Hell was such a great album.
The patron saint of "dad rock"
ROCK ON
The guitar player on rock around the clock fell of the stairs shortly after the recording and died. He never lived to know the fame of his awesome guitar solo

More Phil X please.....

Any way we can see some Phil X action on a 1964 JB Hutto Montgomery Ward Airliner with the Res-O-Glass body?
The Black Sabbath cover made my day. Righteous!
Phil x is such a cool dude haha
Whats the song at about 3:20?? or is it just jamming?
