Big thank you to Phil for sending us this clip to post! 🙌🎸🔥🔥
That laugh at the end was fire. He knows he killed it!
Ya. Fucking incredible! I copy the laugh after every watch. Right there with him. Outta the park grand slam!
He really channeled the weird unusual licks Eddie would come up with back when he was young, brilliant
I honestly never really have seen much more out of Phil x than good copy till this . Not sure how much preparation went into this but I bet quite a bit .
It is really the 'swing' in Edwards playing that is so hard to nail and Phil X just has IT!!!!! Unreal!
EVH influenced countless guitar players, yet it's so difficulte to get his sound. Phil X is has the chops to do justice to the master. Your comment is spot on!
Yep. He's one of the few hard rock players who really get the boogie. PhilX just kills it.
It's all about the swing... that seems to be the missing god particle in tributes like this to the Master of swing and shred... But Phil killed it with style and skill... Great job man!!!
Sorry. I dont feel anything of eddies swing !
But i never Heard a better try! Great great Job!
Couldn’t agree more with the comment on his swing. Being able to maintain that feel in his rhythms from such a young age is just wild. It has to be from being brought up in a household run by a big band leader. So many VH tunes are written with a swing feel. That set these guys apart and made them a party band as well as a hard rock band. And yeah, Phil smashed this.
I always knew he was a great guitar player… but that was mind blowing 🤯
you mean EVH is
@@cherrysunburst1959 Ummm... everyone knows that. Phil X's spin blew my mind on this.
@@GeneSchmidt OK. Agreed amazing job by Phil X.
I've never seen a guitar player have more fun doing what he does, than Phil X. He is a geek to his craft and a true pleasure to watch. And, he seems like regular down to earth guy. The world needs more like him.
Amen. 100% agree on all counts. Would love to hang with that dude.
I think Sammy should have tried to get Phil X for the Van Hagar tour next year.
Ditto!
Don't know that hagar would appreciate Phil's huge personality though.
Afraid he might upstage him!
He's probably going with Satch because they're friends and of a similar age. He knows very well that there's lots of people who can play Van Halen far more accurately. Of course I also wish he would hire one of them though.
He could be Sammy Hagar's Brother,
AMEN to that!!!!
Phil X is too big a star now for b circuit Van Halen tribute . Hagar had no choice but get Satriani or another 90’s guitarist like Vinnie Vincent .
Eddie would have been 69 this past Jan 26. What a great tribute to The Master. Phil is a devoted disciple and it shows.
When guys like Phil or Dweezil play Eds stuff you can tell they are having a blast. When others do it you can tell they are struggling their asses off.
Let’s not forget Pete thorn he nails Eddie too
Dweezil is so underrated! His Inca roads solo (from the dvd) is prolly my fav. solo of all time!
This man is an ABSOLUTE BEAST and really doesn’t get enough credit for it !!
We 💯 agree with you!! 🙌🎸🙌
Face melting. So much feeling and precision.
No one can touch the late great Edward van Halen 🎸🎸👑👑❤❤
The timing, feel, sound, not to mention the note choices, incredible! Thanks for sharing!
Sometimes I forget how much more I need to learn. Thanks.🤦♂
Phil manages to capture that young Ed feeling like every lick is letting you in on a private joke, and he's trying not to burst out laughing.
Phil X videos never disappoint.
I've been watching Phil Play since I was literally a kid looking at Fretted Americana videos, this is the coolest fucking thing I've ever seen.
I don't think I've ever seen a cover of a VH song where I can say Ed would be impressed, until now.
Haven't listened to this song in years...somehow forgot just how epic this solo is! Sheesh!
Back around 1990 in Brampton Ontario, I was at a party with a basement jam of some really good working musicians. Phil, who was a friend of homeowner, walks in, straps on a guitar, steps up to the mic and blows everyone's heads off with a Stevie Wonder tune. People are looking at each other asking, "Who is this guy?" He was, and still is on another level.
I've been playing 40+ years and you're the one that melts my face!!
Seriously…there is nothing Phil can’t play. He is absolutely freaking mind blowing. Phil is a force of nature. What a treasure. 😊
Phil is the perfect definition of a rock star, he plays guitar like a virtuoso and is one hell of a singer.He also as the looks, a cool stage presence and seems to be a down to earth kind of guy.
This man's enthusiasm is a large part of why he crushes it all of the time. Like a baby playing with a puppy. Phil X
what planet did a young Evh come from MY GOD, great job Phil
The more I see of Phil X the more I am impressed. He's freaking awesome and seems like a really good dude. He's living his best life and he knows it.
Probably one of the top underrated guitar players alive right there... He's got the whole package 🤙🏾
We couldn’t agree with you more! 🙌🎸
When are people going to stop with the "underrated" idiocy? He has fans all over the world, tens of millions of views on his videos, etc. Yeah...underrated. So painful.
that was fkin badass!
The lick at 39 seconds is just utterly amazing. Jarring, but ear-grabbing.
Phil has so much joy and enthusiasm. Very inspiring.
My new favorite. Forget Satriani. Phil X for Eddie/Van Halen tribute.
I could watch this video all day. Just perfection. Right in the pocket beginning to end. Phil rocks, and he's a super cool Dude as well.
WTF was that?!!? I had to listen to it twice. Phil X crushed it. All Phil X with the spirt of EVH as inspiration. Great job!
That’s the best I’ve ever seen Phil X play 😮
Tone, feel and execution = almost perfection. Great job Phil \m/
Watching Phil play it reminds how much of a genius Eddy was.
Eddie
edward@@RuminatingWizard
Ok that was sick... Some of those licks were things I'd never seen or heard.
That's the right ending HA! HAAAAA!
Notice that he can play Eddies Tapping licks with a pick, now that takes talent
Great job Phil X!!!!!
Absolutely mind blowing just awesome playing 🤟🤟👌👌
Insane......the groove is crazy, that's how it's done
Yea u killed it phil
I could only dream about playing that good he's incredible.
One of the best ever and wow the ears on this guy
That's why this guy is so good, he can balance technique and musicality.
The generation today has the technique but none of the musicality.
I love this man, we need to protect him.
That was crazy !!
Absolutely Fuking Awwwwsome !!
Phil X is a sick player and such a character
Love Phil X
Totally crushed it.
Whatta beast!
He is unbelievable and such a cool guy.
Incredible. LOVE him throwing his personality into this solo.
true but most of these licks are 100% EVH, kind of brilliant really how he pasted them altogether
every single player only always plays his personality...but I know what u meant!!
Hell yeah! That was sick! Accuracy and attitude 🤘
That was totally sick!
That's a fun solo - made to look effortless. So good I watched it twice.
Effortlessly the coolest guitar cat at the moment
Unbelievable great playing 😎
Love Phil X! So much talent and so much fun.
Perfection
Great❤❤❤!!!!
That is SO good Phil. No one does a better VH than you and you’re playing things he probably would have come up if he spent even more time in the shed in the early 80’s. You think just like him.
you’re an animal. Love you man.rock on brother !
Wow!!! 😮 Cravin’ it…Super playing/sound/tone 👍
Gotta admit he killed it nailed murdered it twice and said good night!! Phil X really really gets EVH, he’s got that playing in his dna.
Just mind blowing
Outstanding
What a riot, Eddies from another planet. This video is great example of how bizarre his style is. Awesome 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Beyond amazing.
Phil X rocks!
Hes a beast of a guitar player and very fun to watch he can play so much stuff to me as guitar player hes one off the best as song writing i tot respect his thing but is just not for me but he still one off my favourite guitar players to watch and Phil X is the reason i only play stand up and to put much less gain so i can hear my dinamics on my playing.
Phil X Rocks 🎸❤🤘
So fucking good!
Man, that was one of the most impressive things I've seen in a long time. The swing and groove in Ed's playing are very difficult to replicate and most people attempting it don't really do it too well. Now if I didn't know better, I could have almost sworn it's Ed who's playing.
Excellent!
That was badass!!!!
Great Job Dude! R.I.P. Eddie.
As a gigging, active guitar player, I've heard a lot of guys who I regarded as being very good at playing in the style of EVH, and they weren't a pimple on Phil X's back side. Truly impressive execution in every manner of speaking.
Keep going Phil X, your light shines beyond brightly. Cheers! 😊
That got the blood pumping!!! Wow!!
Just discovering Phil X….feel kinda stupid, ‘cause I’m an old guy who’s been studying and enjoying top guitarists for decades, but somehow never found him.
LOVED this vid! Anyone who can cover Eddie’s soloing perfectly, then throw in their own ideas that align perfectly with Ed’s groove but add exciting new ideas….I mean….WOW! Also love Phil’s obvious joy while ripping.
Phil, you’ve got a very stoked new fan!
Check out his fretted Americana videos from years ago. Hours upon hours of entertainment
He‘s the typical hired gun able to nail everything
@@eff_bee_69 yeah he’s great at playing other people’s songs but never really wrote good ones
@@SchtinkFingahahaha
@@philx1111 hahahaha, ya like that name do ya
I cannot keep a smile off my face when Phil plays.
Smiling ear-to-ear over here!
A real testament to Ed as Phil is workin it hard to make it happen - fantastic job!
Nice (the second half of the solo)
This is so epic. I love how the sections where he is doing his own licks still have a Van Halen swing/feel to them.
Phenomenal
That was the Shizam... Damn good Sir.
Phil is a total boss and the complete package. If there is a more entertaining musician on the planet right now, I haven't found them. A lot of people know who he is, but if it was 1988, he would be a household name. Definitely one of my favourite guitar players right now and really struggling to think of one that makes me smile this much!!! Thank you @philx1111 , really looking forward to the new Bon Jovi record and more from The Drills.
WOW!
What's really really cool about this solo is if you listen closely it's tons of Ed's licks all thrown in a blender. At first you might say well he's improvising over Ed's stuff but it's really tons of Ed's stuff brilliantly put together.
Nice. Gotta love Phil X. Energizer Bunny spun out on P90s. I miss the old in store Fretted Americana videos. Not like they aren't still there. Good old days. K💜🇺🇸
Dang.... he nailed that! I love the P90 SG Special too!
Nobody has more fun playing than Phil X
Dude shreds the VH vibe so well. I wholeheartedly agree with capnrob97!
Cool!! Thanks for sharing!! 👍😊👍🎶
That Phil X Flair blows my mind!! as a fellow Canadian. YOU ROCK BROTHER!!!
Beyond Amazing
I listened to this before even listening to the song by van halen and was like wow are those the riffs VH plays...come to find out they are not and that this is your version...unbelievable, bravo
Ok time to analyse this, so much creative licks here...
That dissonant run @:40 was so badass!!
Fuckin mint!!!
While I watch this over and over, my guiter is keeping me warm in my fireplace....😔
