- Phil X, lead guitarist for Bon Jovi, gave me a guitar lesson earlier this year at Winter NAMM 2019. He gave me some pointers to help me on my lead electric guitar journey.
Major thanks to Framus & Warwick for helping me put this together and Phil for making the time!

Phil X is really a golden retriever trapped in a human body.
Best definition about Phil X
Well said
YEEESSSS!! Nailed it!
YESSSSS
He always reminds me of mr peanut butter... or mr peanut butter reminds me of phil x
This video took so long for me to edit due to some audio syncing issues, but I am so excited to finally have it up for you guys. 🙌🏼🎸 What was your favorite piece of advice Phil gave?!
I have been struggling with string bending too. Now I have some expert advice on how to play it... 😃 Also the advice on strengthening the pinky finger is really cool and quite interesting... Thanks GG... 💖
Hearing a different angle on how to practice with a metronome (he didn’t say exactly, but still the same).
My favorite parts were how to practice at slow mode and the bending technique part!!!
The favorite piece of advice I found was playing the exact flow and cohesiveness as you described. When practicing a new piece of music. So eventually when I'm up to speed the accuracy is there.
By the way Michelle. You yourself accentuate the positive energy when you teach. And it has helped me a lot in my guitar learning. Thank you.
You’re so lucky! I like how he said you gotta practice it slow
Phil X is such a nice guy. This is like a PHD teaching kindergarten.
I’ve been watching Phil x since his day when he was doing videos with frettedamericana
Me too! Even though I thought he was high in most vids, lol, his playing and sheer enthusiasm was absolutely amazing. So glad he has moved up in the world! Love Phil!
Phil X is so good at guitar yet a humble teacher, and cool dude!!
Phil X is a great guitarist but really a great human being. He truly is a genuine man.
Phil is just an awesome dude in all respects. That was fun to watch!
This is the most calm I've seen him. Must not have had his 3 morning red bulls.
I didn't see any wings.
@@GuitarGoddess ha good one you are SO beautiful by the way and the fact you play guitar makes it way better \..../\m/

There are 2 guitarists that I would love to go out for a beer, some food and a chat with. Phil X is one and Paul Gilbert is the other. They both come across as such genuine people who seem to have a lot of time for fans and do great interviews like this one where they are such affable, natural and warm people.
The few times I had to chat with Phil, he was always a very warm and inspiring person to be around. He's definitely full of positive energy and such a genuine down to earth person.
Love this vid. Biggest learning for me is not to be intimidated by players who are “better” than you. I picked something up from both you and Phil X here. Great job..👍🇦🇺🎸
Thank you! I'm really glad you got something valuable out of this video. 👍🏼
Guitar Goddess 🇦🇺🐨🎸
Super groovy and helpful video Michelle!! So cool to get that perspective and those tips from such a legend! 😁🤘🏽
Thank you so much, Cody! 😁 So thankful I got the chance to sit down with him.
I love that Phil X validates that method of playing without the index finger and using the pinky more. I had a hand injury that prevented me from playing guitar for several years. (Damaged tendon and infection in tendon sheath. Couldn’t appy any pressure or bend index to even 90 degrees). When I finally picked up the guitar again, I played with middle ring pinky and the index sticking out straight until months of therapy allowed that finger to bend again.
Great vid! I've seen him live and he's insane!
Thanks, Dave! Oh, that's so awesome. He really is an incredible musician. :)
Phil is teaching me how to teach guitar
That was fun watching! Go GG!
i've been trying to learn to play left handed, i don't know why, i'm not that great right handed, but it has reminded me how difficult it seemed learning, but still learning is the best thing because when you eventually nail something you once thought impossible, the horizon really opens up. So never be disheartened if your a learner and see someone who's been playing a long time, and they seem awesome, just enjoy the journey and keep practising, you'll get there, and hats off to you for getting a lesson of an expert like phil, very brave!.
Phil X has become my new favourite guitarist. And to top it off he is from Toronto my home town.
Phil is such a vibe
What an awesome guy Phil X is !
Phil X looks so nice and joyful, it was a great vlog with great tricks !
He's such a cool dude. 👍🏼 So glad you enjoyed the vlog!
Great video. I've been playing for afew years & always open to new tips & tricks as 'bad habits' do happen without realizing. Stay safe 👍
You’re awesome! So happy for you!♥️♥️
Aww, thank you!! ☺️
The guitar god will put his guitar goddess on the pedestal.
Respectfully, this was fun. But how on earth does this nice girl have more subscribers than Phil X?
She has better legs...
Phil x is the reason i always play stand 🤘🤘
At 3:16 phill X realised what he got himself into, this person pretends to care about guitar but has not put the time to get any good. I should know I am that person as well
Girl you "literally" taught me guitar, right from the basics. Can't thank you enough!!!
Phil X is awesome love his personality!!!! Also he's from Toronto, Canada!!!!!
He really is a nice guy. Very warm personality and always very positive and humble. Great guitar player too.
Love Phil X
Pro tips from Phil X?? A solid 10!!! Thanks Michelle!!
So glad you enjoyed it! 🎸🙌🏼
This is amazing 🤘🤘🤘🤘 guitar goddess and Phil x is the greatest collaboration
Thank you, Justin!! 😁
Phil X seem like such a cool guy, that must have been amazing meeting him up close! I'd love to see Bon Jovi play live though!
The multi-finger bend trick was a surprisingly big game changer for me when I first learned it. My bends sucked and I never got how anyone could pull of those crazy bends, especially on a steel string acoustic! My bends still aren't great, but they're considerably better since learning!
But my favourite piece of advice came more from the both of you, about not being intimidated by better players, and being able to learn from anyone if you're watching out for it. I'm gonna take both of those to heart!
Oh, and the thing about using your pinky and not your index to train it. That's so simple but so smart, I don't even know why I never tried that out before! Definitely something I should give a try when I'm practicing!
He's incredible! It was such an honor to sit down with him. 🙌🏼 I'm really glad you got some value from this video. 👍🏼
"Thanks for the gummy bears by the way"
"It came with the pedal" (The most Phil X thing to do) hahaha
Another thing that might help with your bends is letting you thumb come over the top of the neck and use it as an anchor or pivot point to help along with multiple fingers
Hi Michelle , so cool , thanks for the video / lesson accuracy wins over speed I so get that . The 3 finger bend , I sooooo needed that tip !! ( yeah !! ). Super cool , guitar is a demanding instrument , but you and your guest are turning it fun !! It is supposed to be fun , it is music. I so wish I had the 'right' guitar teacher so many decades ago. " To master guitar you first need to realize you will always be a student " , we always learn .Thanks again , such a fun video , have a great weekend , Gary . ( Dreamer )
Hey, Gary! Thanks so much. I'm really glad you got something out of this video. 👍🏼
He is one of the single most intuitive guitar players since Jimi Hendrix. I want to buy him a beer or 2
You caught him on an off day. He’s usually crashing thru the walls every second 😂
I thought Phil was going to pick his nose with his pinky at 5:05, and that was his "great way" at developing the pinky.
😂😂😂
hurts my ears but memorizes my eyes
Whoa I could use some of these tricks in my lead playing. Thanks to Phil X and Michelle! 😂😁
Loved that dude since the first time I've seen him in fretted americana :D great vid!
Phil X is just amazing!
Anything Phil X
Michelle: I don't need any new world
My world is you fans 😇❤️😍
Fans- Same here Love u 3000
I loved watching you play back in black...been thrtr...lol
Awesome
What a cool guy. I loved the idea of modifying a lick you play well by adding the pinky and subtracting the index to develop pinky strength Very cool tip!
I also cannot stress the usefulness of a looper pedal for developing time, song writing, and improvising lead. It makes mundane drills more musical and fun when you can lay down a loop to practice against. 👍
So glad you found some valuable information from this video! 👍🏼
Awesome lesson goddess 😁👍
Thanks, girl!! 🎸
Sooo cool and helpful thank you for sharing this video
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
You have the same smiling eyes as Phil X, so a promising career lies ahead of you ;-)
One finger bends, right here bro!! 💪
i want Phil as my teacher !!!! So coooool !!!!!!!!!!!
Wow phil x it’s been 10 plus years I haven’t seen u
Great video !!!!
Thank you so much! :)
THEO you nailed dit
Looper Pedals _are_ cool, totally changed my timing skills.
Im your big fan..
Love from India...
“They came with the pedal”😂😂😂
You don’t master this riff yet? My pinky tells me that you don’t practice it enough 😁 Did you add the spider excercice to your warm up routine? It helps a lot to develop your speed and accuracy
Spider Rocks technique like a Super Soldier Formula
Imagine an album or tour with Phil X and Dave Grohl.
You basically need a guitar teacher to get better! xD what a beast Phil is! I learned english watching his videos on fretted Americana, no bs!
Your awesome
might be the coolest guitar player on earth
You needn't a lesson teacher,
Cause you're Teacher
And I wish you were my guitar teacher 😭😭😭
fun video
Goddess !
My looper peddle is more of a "blooper" pedal :o)
At last,you scared me!
Probably to slow it right down as I often try to play way too fast. 🎸😁
I need to go to a Guitcon 🤗
What is keeping your hat on?
bold channel name for someone who seems like they barley have any experience playing tbh, but cool vid with phil x
I Phil that too...
I love you. You're amazing ❤❤
so jealous phils has a straight pinky as mine is curved so reaching pinky notes are nearly impossible.
hey don't give up on that bent pinky! my pinkies are super bent and everything he played in this video is possible. That imaginary extra cm shouldn't discourage you :)
How's your electric guitar progress going GG?
I excel on tar with lots of rubber laid down, reasonably dry conditions and a f**king fast car!
Can I get a guitar lesson from Phil X... :o)
I like his approach with learning the pinky by not using the index. Great video! I just bought a tascam 32 SD for half price! going to record drums better now.
"Goddess" ...
More like... Goddess? I thought with a channel named "Guitar Goddess", this women would rock, but OMG... she's an absolute beginner. How is she able to interview Phil X? Doesn't make any damn sense. It really is the Kali Yuga. Down is up, up is down, etc.
You are looking soo pretty ❤❤❤❤
Hey the girls cute too
👍
Hi nice video
Thank you!
He's got huge hands.
But can he play Cliffs Of Dover?
I've never received a pedal that had gummy bears come with it. 😕
4:30 lol
Lead guitar is definitely way harder than rythmn chords
Nope
👏👏👏👌👍
this guy is amazing. Richie will always be Richie mas Phil X is something else.
Does she even play? I don't get this at all.
Wait a guitar goddess who can’t even play? I’m confused. I only came for Phil X.
Please do a cover of avenged sevenfold, I think you're ready!!!! 😂
You already are good guitar player Michelle 🥰
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that, but I am always looking for ways to grow and improve my skill set. 🎸
Amazing
Phil's straight through the amp, one channel guy. He controls volume nob on his guitar. Rhythm volume is up only half way. Solos, lead volume goes up. Chugging with volume nob half way is probably not for me
First rule; never mention the words "Arctic Monkeys" and "riff" in the same sentence. Second rule; never mention the "Arctic Monkeys" at all.
I follow you on IG now it's aarik_green88 (finally decided to get it)
Now I want some gummies... hehehe
