    I met Phil at a bar in LA. He was watching this incredible jazz band (as were we all), and you could tell what an absolute fan of music he was. He was so locked into the group, smiling and just enjoying himself. I gathered up the courage to go say hi, and buy him a beer. He was everything he appears to be. There's no show. He's just a wonderful excited man and so incredibly humble. His gratitude was palpable (this was before his Bon Jovi fame). Phil is such a wonderful musician, but most importantly, he's a damn decent human being. So happy to see his career skyrocket.

      I echo the same sentiments about Phil. I met him when he was in Triumph at this place in Waterloo, Ontario Canada (many moons ago) called The Red Pepper on a Tuesday night when they held open jam sessions.
      The guitarist for the “house band” on those Tuesday nights knew Phil from within the local music community and invited him to come out and play a few songs with them (and he did).
      But before the show as everyone was setting up I was introduced and Phil and I talked. He was incredibly nice, funny, humble and just so easy to talk to.
      It’s always good to see the good people do well. Phil is certainly one of them.

Also the picture shown is "Irish bouzouki", not the kind that Phil X is talking about. Other than that, this was a great video. Thank you. :)

    So enjoyable to watch. The passion towards the instrument is so evident that it has a flow on effect to us all. Like all great musicians Phil's understanding of rhythm is what make him so good. When guitarists ask what they can do to get better I always say "learn how to play the drums." So many unbelievable guitarists can play the drums and at the very least understand rhythm. At the beginning of the recording when Phil played the acoustic you can see he was tapping his foot the whole time, rule no 1. Really enjoyed the bouzouki riffs too.

      It is very underrated. I wonder what would have happened if Markos was allowed to leave Greece and tour the world. Unfortunately Markos had a criminal record for going AWOL from the army, so the Greek government would not give him a passport, so he never left Greece his entire life, even though he is the most important musician in modern Greek music. It's a shame.

Out of all the band only Phil X would agree to take pictures and talk to the people. The others were hiding behind the body guards and didn’t mingle with the fans. I was asked Phil X if we could take a picture together and he gladly agreed and asked me where I’m from and what i do and was genuinely NICE! What a great guys and of course fantastic musician! ❤️
