Guitar icon Peter Frampton invites Premier Guitar’s John Bohlinger to his Nashville rehearsal studio to talk and demonstrate his sprawling live setup.
The “Phenix” is Frampton’s famous, modified 1954 Les Paul Custom from the cover of Frampton Comes Alive. The name refers to the mythical bird that was raised from the ashes. This guitar, thought to be destroyed and lost for over 30 years-even surviving a plane crash in Venezuela-recently found its way back home to Frampton. To commemorate this historic guitar, Gibson has recreated a very small, exclusive run of reproductions with every burn, scratch, ding, and crack faithfully copied to match Frampton’s original.
This 1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard previously belonged to famed songwriter JJ Cale and is affectionately named “Paulina.” With the exception of the bridge and tuning keys, it’s completely original. The original bridge was so badly worn that accurately intonating the instrument was impossible. It was replaced by a relic’d TonePro bridge to keep the guitar aesthetically correct.

this is not a rig rundown, this is a wonderful interview with one of the most symphathetic rockstars, conducted by one of the most sympathetic journalists!
it really is a great vid. He's so humble, he acts like he's just some bar gig musician, but he's Peter friggin Frampton, lol.
I was pedaling to work and passing the load in door at the moody theater herein Austin I almost ran into Peter apologized and then had a 10 min conversation and took a picture with him he is the sweetest person ever especially if ur a fellow guitarist
so nice that if Ifound his stolen Martin, I would buy it and GIFT IT TO HIM!!!
I do like to format it's more than just a technical gig Rundown
@@Erock503 I agree with you I've never met Peter but he seems to be really down to earth, but don't get me wrong I met musicians who act like a Hollywood producers they don't even look at you and their mind is always on something else as in don't want to be bothered
The fact that Peter did the interview himself instead of outsourcing it to his guitar tech says alot about his character. I have more respect for him as a person.
Haha what a cokehead.
At least he didn't leave it to his Guitar Tech. A true gentleman. Thats his time he's given up to you.
+Martin Crane So true, just like Brad Whitford did!
Exactly! Super cool guy
Gotta be careful picking out a guitar tech. Used to know this tech that would cum on the freathoards for better grip..
Yea, guitar icons go down a notch imo if they send their tech in to talk about their guitars. Frampton rocks!

The man talks for an hour and 15 minutes with no profanity, not one single negative word of any gravity, and just goes on and on about his love. I really enjoy his reminiscences about as his playing, but he is a master of our age when he plays.
Just when you thought you could not appreciate a musician more than you currently do after decades of listening to his music, you see this video. Thank you guys, it's a pleasure and a privilege to watch Frampton in such an "intimate" setting.
You have got to love this guy.... No Drama... No Ego... a gentleman, with a lifetime of experience and memories... plus a room full of very cool guitars...
Haha what a cokehead.
17:40 "It's ok if I just play a little bit, right?"
Gee, I don't know. Do ya think we should let Peter Frampton go ahead and play his 1960 Les Paul?
No no, we don't have time. We hear it all the time Peter give it a rest. lol
@@johnthooker lol
I’ll allow it. 😉
An hour fifteen of Frampton talking stories & gear? Hell yes! Could beat my favorite one featuring Steve Howe.
Peter Frampton - what a sympathetic guy! No Rockstar attitude, just a nice musician
I was watching a rock documentary on Peter Frampton and apparently he was walking down the street with his guitar in NY for a gig and David B was driving by. The two reconnected and David asked him to play on his album. Peter's wife, who is the mother of his youngest child, a daughter who happens to act and was seen in the film weddingcrashers, told Peter to stay humble when he goes into the studio. And she reminded him that he was not there to play lead but was there to add to David's sound. Peter said it was this wise advse from his wife that helped him to get back on track.
I think he went on tour with Bowie afterward. And then he recorded a new album with Bowie produced or co-produced.
This is a promotion pal, he is a dick, trust me...
@@ebay9302 What makes you say that? I met him while he was mowing his own lawn next door to my old business partner's house in Brentwood Tennessee in 2004 and he was gentle, pleasant, kind, nice and totally genuine and real with me, some random guy who interupted him over the fence while he was mowing his own lawn. We talked about his electrocution event and his future plans, which at the time were to potentially move to where his elderly parents lived to care for them in their old age. He said he wasn't likely to do much more hardcore touring or playing, but at the time, he was also sweating in the tennessee heat in his backyard, talking to stranger about his dying parents. Hardly a jovial discussion, but definitely a genuine one, without a shred of dickheadedness about it whatsever. Change my mind.
@@ebay9302 elaborate
Haha what a cokehead.
John is truly one of the most respectful interviewers...its great to see. He takes a lot of heat in the comments but I just don't know how you can dislike him. Not to mention that this is a great interview with one of the greatest musicians in Frampton!
Sorry to have upset you...Just making a comment. No offense brother.
Totally agree with you. Very polite. Susan
True! He listens with respect and only asks questions when needed.
333 999 Really does a genuinely class interview thanks John
@@FYMASMD There's a difference between being an ass kisser and a genuinely nice person. John treats EVERYONE like that.
"Lines on my Face", one of the most beautiful songs ever written
You are so right. Absolutely amazing song.
When I first got FCA and started learning guitar, that was the one I would skip. years later, it became by fav. one on the album.
always loved Peter...no egos here, he is just a great guy who loves playing guitar. He makes me smile everytime
He's not only a KILLER musician, but a really humble person and a gentleman. His humongous (and deserved) fame did't by any chance go up to his head. Mr. Frampton, you are one of the GREATS.
Love Peter Frampton! Seen him in 1976 at The New Haven Coliseum . The "Frampton Comes Alive Tour" And I seen in 1992 at Toads Place New Haven, Ct.
Toads place is club. I got right up front for this show! and it was excellent! 🎸
If you have never seen Peter Frampton live....you need to add it to your bucket list. He puts on one hell of a good show!
in 1991 church street station orlando. he played the live album front to back. original band and
bob mayo on keyboards, bob mayo
StormLaker1975 Amen
Every year he's played Summerfest, my friend. Peter is one of the greatest. I don't remember the year, but he yelled out to crowd "HAVE YOU HEARD MY NEW ALBUM?!" and, of course, everyone cheers... then he cheekily asks "How many of you are liars?" Totally cheeky and put on some of the best shows I've ever seen. 😊
I saw him last year and Don Felder opened up for him. Felder is an amazing musician, too.
Ottawa Bluesfest 2010 or 12?? He did the Whole 'Frampton Comes Alive Show' I missed him in 1976, but lucky for me I got a 2nd Chance!! So Blessed!!
Totally different run down, you can tell how much Peter loves his gear and loves to talk about. I would say his ego is not in the clouds like a lot of artists!
Frampton Comes Alive in this awesome Rig Rundown!!! Absolutely fantastic that he just spent an hour and fifteen minutes explaining so many things about his guitars and effects!!! At no point did I lose interest!! Such a nice guy and phenomenal musician!! He has done so many things for music!!
Best Rig Run Down ever. The knowledge Peter Frampton has is amazing, he just taught a college course on guitars, amps, effects, sounds, and how to be a super nice humble person all for free. A super star with an amazing nice personality. Thank you Peter and thank you for all the wonderful music you have made from Humble Pie to the present time. GOD bless You !!!
This was just the best rig run down ever
I've heard so many guitar players...but I always come back to Peter Frampton.
One of the most generous people ever. Could he make your job any easier?
What a brilliant and genuine human being.
What an interview. Amazing polite artist. Peter deserves all the respect.
The nicest rockstar and he still have that lovely smile.
A brilliant guitarist and a great guy obviously! A rock legend who continued to get better and better to this day! Comfortable in his own skin! MASTERFUL!!! Much Respect to Peter Frampton!
What a good guy. Peter Frampton is a class act. Love his guitar playing.
what a wonderful man. It's not just like "This my overdrive, I like it because it sounds good blabla"", it's a talk to a nice man who has stories to tell about his gear
Mr. Frampton: It's alright if I play a little right?
Producer, (Inaudibly, off screen): You're Peter Frampton. You can do whatever you want.
Captivating stories from a true guitar legend .
I'm not even a minute into watching this as I type this. Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing this and sharing it with us. Frampton is a criminally underrated guitarist.
That was a great rundown. One of the best. That fact that he still cares so much is definitely inspiring.
By far my favorite "Run Down" so far! Big thank you's to Peter for being generous with his time and just being so down to earth. I'm sure there are many players like myself who were so inspired by Peter early on that really appreciate this .
Peter Frampton is one of the worlds greats and is a great guy aswell!
A true gentleman. Only a handful of people in the world compares to Peter Frampton in terms of stage experience and knowledge on guitar gear. Note that he always says that some particular gear "works" for him and some "don't work", but it could work for someone else (e.g. the radio transmitters). Very much the opposite of self-proclaimed experts on comment sections that love to say that a certain guitar or pedal "sucks" or is "stupid". Let us all learn with this man, kids.
+Rafael Andrade Nothin but pure guitar class! Not a vulgar word needed or uttered, his talent speaks volumes over ego. He always keeps the main thing the main thing.
great pedal if you take the time to experiment and learn it as is true for most gear. I can get crazy cool sounds out of my cheap amps and guitars.
You are so stupid Rafael! You know nothing, nothing. Frampton knows shit about guitars or gear. I taught him everything he knows about this stuff.
Agree 100%. I heard guys play the crap outta something I couldn't get snot out of. It would be nice if we could all drop our attitudes, pre-conceived ideas and our guards, and just play.
Love Frampton...WAY underrated guitarist...
Whenever i think my rigs getting too complicated i just watch this and everything's ok ! Lol
Literally the first interview I've ever seen with Peter Frampton and the guy really comes across as fun and down-to-earth.
What a lovely and beautiful man. The hair may be gone but his smile and eyes still shine bright. A true legend
I can't say that I would want all Rig Rundowns to be this long but, this one was definitely worth it! Thank you!
What a great artist! And now I listen and see his performances even more respectfull with the knowledge of his instruments. He is one of the great ones of the 70ties.
Peter knows what he wants in his sound its amazing how much he does know, alot dont they just know they like what they hear ,he knows how they work in unison with other effects ,he is a great player very underated
Did FN Peter Frampton just ask if it's okay if her plays a little bit? To funny! I love it when the actual artist gives the run down. You get so many of the background stories and you can see what really drives them. PF has so many great stories and seems to be such a down to earth guy. Would love to hear more! Great Run Down!!
Guy's playing and smile are both just straight out infectious. Long live Frampton!
Probably the best Rig Rundown, ever. Peter is unquestionably the best in the business.
Best rundown I've ever seen. Watched the whole thing through. What a cool guy.
A huge THANK YOU here to Peter for his gracious generosity in this rundown!!! The best yet! Keep up the great work John!
Wow... I grew up with this guy, this was amazing. Thanks so much...
Frampton is AWSOME. I could listen to this guy talk for days. Best rundown ever.
Thank you Mr. Frampton.
You are an absolute legend and consummate professional.
a guitar genius Thanks for downloading
That's one battle hardened Paul. And survived a plane crash, too. Glad it has found its way back to the nice guy who deserves it.
Omg , I’m an 80’s girl but I grew up listening to 70’s music with my older sisters I love Peter frampton I still listen to 70’s music and I have to say he’s still handsome 😊
Hello Juanita are you also one of my lovely supporters out there?
"it's ok if I play a bit, right?" ... Absolutely Sir, do not stop
Awesome to hear the history from one of my heroes... Rock On PF
Thanks for this ... the backstories were as great as the actual gear rundown. Not hard to understand why there is NO rig on earth that will ever sound like Frampton's signature sound. Peter is also one of the nicest and most accommodating "rock stars" on the planet. Thanks again!
John Bohlinger is my favorite. Props to him.
The mark of a great interviewer is knowing when to 'keep your mouth shut' and let your guest do the talking. Yes ... Peter Frampton made it easier for the interviewer ... but BIG kudos to John for giving his VIP guest the space to share his story. Very well done!
RELATED: I just finished Peter Frampton's bio, 'Do You Feel Like I Do'? Great read. Highly recommended! Perfect Christmas gift for this musician.
One of the nicest most humble people in music, never an act he's truly genuine. We tend to forget how great he is as a guitar player, he had a sound of his own, the trait that makes a great guitar player great.
Always cool to see the player go through their rig themselves.
Awesome video! Peter Frampton is such an incredible player and such a humble guy, truly a master of his craft!
The most amazing story of the return of a guitar.
A great great axeman. Criminally overlooked.
Johnny Boy, that was beyond rad! Hearing Mister Frampton(e) talking about all this cool gear and how some of it came to have special meaning to him must've been cool as all get-out!
Thanks for making this happen!
Pete is such a humble guy, great musician......... and icon. Been a fan since the Humble Pie days.. Rock on!
John Bohlinger is a great interviewer! He has an instinct for the musicians passion trends and gets them excited to tell their stories and share many parts of their lives we would never hear about but for johns' skills as an interviewer.....Peter Frampton remains an amazing musician and a treasure to the universe of music.
John gives some of the best interviews n is my personal fav, love when the artist shows up. Johns coolness matches his musicianship, with great communication skills. I hope to see these with John for years to come.
Hello Vanessa are you also one of my lovely supporters out there?
One Rig Rundown to rule them all
that Martin sounds amazing.
Saw him live at the AV fair...... He really puts on a great show. Grab tickets when you can. You DON'T want to miss that!
I could listen to Peter Frampton speak about all the artists he knows and about his rigs and guitars all day.
Peter has always been great !!
I’ve been a fan since the mid 70s. Still love his attitude, or lack thereof, and that he’s been to the heights but doesn’t feel the need to hide from what got him there. Great guy, would love to jam with him one day.
Legendary...iconic....Mr Frampton is so awesome!!! Mr. Frampton is a genius. I could listen to him all day and forever. His musianship is sounds so beautiful.
Even if the entire rig "went down", I would still love to sit for hours, and listen to his amazing stories. Peter Frampton was my first "guitar hero" as I grew up, back in the 70's; that was long before I started discovering names like Vai, Malmsteen, and Schenker. Frampton seems to be a great human being as well as a very talented musician.
Is there a happier, more youthful rock icon over 60?
Mike Harty Maybe Sammy Hagar.
Jimmy page
3star2nr he has never looked happy
Don Felder
Trower.
Is there a finer human being and gentleman in Rock & Roll? Excellent episode.
Amazing! Probably one of the most complete (and complex) rig rundowns I've ever seen. Hats off to Frampton, as always.
I don't trust people who would give this a thumbs down! He's just seems like a nice and grateful guy.
Haha what a cokehead
Peter seems like a genuinely pleasant and down to earth person. Well done PG for this informative Rig Rundown.
I love the Leslie spinning in the background
Douglas Richards my first "real" concert was Fleetwood Mac Rumors tour and I loved watching Christine McVie's Leslie speaker changing speeds as she played it. Takes a real fan to appreciate such things, I feel you bro!
i love my Lester G from EHX :-)))))
Ooohhh that is what it is! Thank you sir!
Thank you!
Frampton is great, but give kudos to the interviewer. I've seen him on several Premier Guitar vid's and he's fantastic.
Peter is such a Legend and a true Humble guy. Always smiling with zero attitude. Long may he Rock.
LOVE Rig Rundown and love that Tee Shirt. I have ONE WISH in LIFE, a RIG Rundown of David Gilmour.
I really enjoyed this. What a guy giving that much time to PG, also the stories he had were a great piece of history.
Nic Rig Rundown, very interesting listening to Peter Frampton speak on his gear, and the history of each piece. An outstanding player and gentleman.
It’s so cool that every piece of gear has a story. He describes his gear like they are old friends
This is the most EPIC rig rundown ever!
Peter's a pretty cool and down to earth fellow its appears from this interview
Credit to John Bohlinger for this. What an amazing interview and that les Paul sounds incredible in his hands.
Utterly fantastic, what a guy, I could listen to his experiences all day, it’s like a who’s who of rock royalty, such a nice guy and passionate about his art & talent! Well done JB, a trully great interview/ rig rundown!
Peter has a instantly identifiable sound, very hard to replicate. His playing on
" Rockin' The Fillmore" is so good.
Goddamn Peter seems like a genuinely nice and sincere guy.
Also good to see older players that are tech-saavy and are willing to experiment.
i can watch this interview over and over, and always marvel at his humility , peter frampton is a rock and roll treasure
Frampton is class and poise personified. I am grateful you adopted this laid-back, relaxed conversational style for this 'rig rundown' ... While I appreciate a variety of different guitar players and guitar songs, I still say the last few minutes of "I Wanna Go To The Sun" from FCA is some of the best guitar playing you will ever hear from anyone.
This is absolutely awesome! i love that it's MORE than just a rig rundown. It's a historic tribute to some of the most iconic guitars as well as a first hand history lesson.
40:40 Mind blown at all the gear! Thanx very much for putting this video together. Good to see that Peter knows as much about the gear he uses in his backline as his roadie/techs do. Many of these top guys just turn up & play and leave the worry about the backline & connections to their techs.
The best run downs are always done by the musician themselves ....such a knowledgeable , down to earth guy.
Thank you Premier Guitar! Thank you Mr Bohlinger!
This is simply great stuff!
I've watched this twice now, really interesting hearing about Peters' rig! I'd love to meet him one day
Love these longer rundowns.
Barry O'Shea same here, first thing i do is check the length of the video
How awesome to have Peter spend more than an hour sharing experiences as well as his incredible rig. John, just a reminder--if you EVER need an assistant, give me a call! Great rundown; you asked all the right questions (for me, at least).
This was a nice, Frampton is down to earth and humble and a gracious man along with being a fabulous player, singer, songwriter thanks
