Dude is a consummate rock guitarist. Not a metal guy, not a pop guy, not any other genre, a straight ahead rock guitarist, and one of the best out there.
Watched him since the days of Fretted Americana. Such a joy to watch and hear him play everytime. So proud to see him make great strides in the music world.
I just love both of these guys. They are serious musicians but they dont take themselves TOO seriously. Funny, down to earth, and relatable to people who are not in the spotlight. Just seem to be great guys!
Phil's comment about boosting levels for a pick slide... that is exactly why my boost of choice is a TC Spark Mini. You can click the footswitch like normal and play an entire solo... or... if you need a quick fill, HOLD the button down, play the lick, and when you release the button, the boost switches back off. Dual function button! I also replaced the little knob up top with a massive black knob that I can dial up and down with my foot.
Yeah the spark mini is my solo boost pedal too. I have mine in the loop so it just increases the volume when I need without adding any more compression or gain to the front end.
Love Phil had the pleasure of being in his circle early through Pat and Rob.. religiously attended his Jam nights at his dads and his other events, an amazing dude, such a great person, moved to England and lost touch. Always wish him the best. Anyone that meets him understand
We literally did Phil’s Two notes cab pack just a day before this and soooo wanted to ‘leak’ it for Gearfest - but we didn’t… Phil is exactly the same guy off the camera. He’s amazing - he’s Phil X!
I just start hearing about phil about a year ago he seams so easy to talk to ! Would be a great teacher if he had time and anyone who gets a chance to learn from him should pay attention
Phil Is epic! This video was awesome. Listening to Phil talk about and execute very complex licks and talk about them like they're just these simple things was sweet. He is so humble. What a guy Phil X
I used to have a pedal board then I bought the Fender GTX 100. I love it. Its lightweight and easy to use. I want the Fender Tone Master Pro. Phil X is awesome keep it up
I own a Radial Headlight amp switcher. Their products just work, and they’re built really solidly. The Duellist is my favorite pedal. It’s never leaving my board.
2:41 Dude, I’ve been wondering for decades why the boost settings from the sound-check never seem to be enough during the concert. It’s because the ohers play dynamic too! Never really thought about that. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤘🥳👍
Those prdals are cool, but Phil can plug into the mic input of my parents old 70's furniture type 8-track floor stereo system and sound incredible! Where is the DOD BAD MONKEY??? Awesome pedal!
"This one goes to 11." And I know what he means about going through phases when it comes to drives. I have 5 that I either rotate singly, or go through stacking combos. Right now I'm running just a single overdrive into a clean amp.
I run a Strymon Deco in the clean loop of my 100 watt amp Boss EQ in the drive channel loop when using that amp Modest board for me Sunface - Xotic Clean Boost - Analogman TS - Lovepedal EPH3 To be added maybe a wah and H9
Phil X is HiLaRiOuS! And he's the consummate ROCK STAR. Don does an excellent job of setting Phil up for some of his witty comments. I agree with Don. Sometimes orange sherbert scratches your itch, too. 🙂
My Bad Monkey overdrive just became a Sad Monkey. Ha! Best Phil X inspired OD purchase I've made. "Set your amp to AC/DC and hit the Monkey to go to Van Halen" Best advice I've ever got for dialing in my tone. "Yeah!"
I first knew about Phil X from the Fretted Americana videos where he played the evil robot. Man his sound is so much different now, a ton of gain and treble from that Friedman
“I add one Friedman to my other Friedman” translates to pairing a ballsy sound with a slightly different type of ballsy. Elegant, wonderful, relatable.

What’s the Delay pedal on top of the Friedman amp???You didn’t mention it…
@@mdmusic2130 sorry... it's a strymon DiG
@@philx1111 Got it!Thanks a lot!🎸🙌🏻

Amazing musician. I love old fashioned rock guitarists like Phil so much
He's pretty good at bouzouki too.
Totaly agree
I got my guitar signed by him
Watched him since the days of Fretted Americana. Such a joy to watch and hear him play everytime. So proud to see him make great strides in the music world.
Same!
Me too, I've been watching Phil for a long time through Fret Americana
me too!
Same man, he used to use a single bad monkey overdrive
Yeah,loved those reviews. He had so much energy (still does).
Phil gets even better with age. A true guitar hero.
I’d been saying this for years. Watching the progression of his career develop is one of those things that warmed my heart.
@@JodyParsons Indeed! He's always on top of his game!
i met him in mannheim in a restaurant, he‘s not only an amazing guitarplayer, he‘s also very nice and educated... just a great person.
Always loved the educated simplicity of Phil X. Great humble guitarist. I wish we had more of his kind in guitar world.
Not just in guitar world. This would be a much better place if we had more people like Phil X everywhere. ✌️🇦🇺
I just love both of these guys. They are serious musicians but they dont take themselves TOO seriously. Funny, down to earth, and relatable to people who are not in the spotlight. Just seem to be great guys!
Phil is one of my guitar heroes, and it is always a delight when he gets coverage. MORE!

Same here ;-) my weapon of choice for the pick slide that everybody must hear
Hear hear. It's 40 quid's worth of magic goodness :)
Where did you put it?
@@sebastianb.2385 end of the FX Return chain so it clean boosts volume.

Endless knowledge, solid taste and always the right choices compared with a great personality. Also goes for Pete Thorn
Phil is an alchemist of tone. He is amazing with no pretense. His energy and passion is unmatched.

I’ve been watching Phil since his days from Fretted Americana . Phil has matured into an incredible guitar slinger . There is only one Phil X .
Phil is the real deal. So humble.
13:42 one of the most R&R thing I've heard in a while !!!!! Phil is a Master !
Great interview with a top guitarist
Gotta love that guy!!! Phil X is a true gem. Interviewer is very cool as well. Very very very good interview!!! Tons of respect, guys.
I just start hearing about phil about a year ago he seams so easy to talk to ! Would be a great teacher if he had time and anyone who gets a chance to learn from him should pay attention
Phil always throws down. And he sings his ass off too.
Phil Is epic! This video was awesome. Listening to Phil talk about and execute very complex licks and talk about them like they're just these simple things was sweet. He is so humble. What a guy Phil X
Been watching him for over a decade on UA-cam, great guy
Phil X is AWESOME ! Love from Brazil
Such a great back and forth! This interviewer was great, and Phil was on point - hilarious!
These two are a great duo, thx Sweetwater!
Great interviewer, EPIC guest. This is just lovely. Phil is the greatest.
Great interview with a nice guy, who knows his stuff. And so does the interviewer! Always good!!!
I used to have a pedal board then I bought the Fender GTX 100. I love it. Its lightweight and easy to use. I want the Fender Tone Master Pro. Phil X is awesome keep it up
Could listen to him all day... great player... great brain.
Phil X is awesome. Such an influential artist to me.
Nice Interview, Kaitlyn
I see Phil X, I hit the thumbs up then I click play. I'm a simple creature.
Love that Les Paul! The switch being down near the pots is a very cool mod
Well…that was a way fun was to spend 18:34. Phil is just so damn entertaining! Thanks! 👍🏻😎
I see Phil x I click
Love this dude
Awesome interview ! Thanks Phil you're a mountain of information and one of my favorite guitarist !
PHIL X IS INCREDIBLE!
What a great guy Mr. X is!
I got a Duellist and it's amazing. Cool to see, that Phil is using it. Makes me like it even more.
WE NEED A LITTLE 20W PHIL X AMP MAN!!! 👌🏻
Best guitarist ever.
The guy on the left is good too...
Did this man just say ‘Aldo Nova’ ? Phil, i love you.
I've said it once, I'll say it a thousand times... Phil X is the coolest nicest guy ever!!!
I love the way X sends himself up…. I hereby award his honory British status, I’m allowed to do that.
We NEED a buddy cop movie with these two
Good cop Bad cop routine. Lemme call a buddy of mine lol
Dude is always a joy
a diamond among rock performers
ALL the tone is really in the green curly cable!!😎
Phil is such an awesome player and a crazy (in a good way) and funny dude to boot!
I own a Radial Headlight amp switcher. Their products just work, and they’re built really solidly. The Duellist is my favorite pedal. It’s never leaving my board.
Phil's f'n awesome!!🇨🇦
Awesome interview as always.
Excellent interview Don. Phil X is a decent fellow.
Phila freaking green cable is driving me crazy but I love it!
love Phil!! this was fun and pretty boiled down in terms of pedal count. and it sounded great too!
2:41 Dude, I’ve been wondering for decades why the boost settings from the sound-check never seem to be enough during the concert. It’s because the ohers play dynamic too! Never really thought about that. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤘🥳👍
Love the JHS rig at the beginning of the video!
I’ve never met Phil but he seems like a cool guy
Boost for pick slides - genius. Why didn’t I think of this? Probably because I am a ten-a-penny so so guitarist.
Those prdals are cool, but Phil can plug into the mic input of my parents old 70's furniture type 8-track floor stereo system and sound incredible! Where is the DOD BAD MONKEY??? Awesome pedal!
"This one goes to 11."
And I know what he means about going through phases when it comes to drives. I have 5 that I either rotate singly, or go through stacking combos. Right now I'm running just a single overdrive into a clean amp.
Phil X rocks!
I love how Phil X runs the level high and the gain low so as not to color the amp too much, it kinda reminds me of SRV
i love phil x... what a guy!
Phil X is just cool. Great vid
I run a Strymon Deco in the clean loop of my 100 watt amp Boss EQ in the drive channel loop when using that amp Modest board for me Sunface - Xotic Clean Boost - Analogman TS - Lovepedal EPH3 To be added maybe a wah and H9
"In 1990 I toured with Aldo Nova".....damn!!! I'm that old. Life is just a fantasy.
Take it to the next level 😜 , awesome 👏 awesome 👏
Such a down to earth, humble, nice and, most of all, sober guy. He has become the no.1 guitarist I would love to meet.
Phil is on about the intricacies of all these effects and tone while Im just sat here wondering where the blue light is powered from on that Gold Top.
Those are some really cool tones! Love Phil’s style, too!
I met Phil at NAMM. Super nice guy!
Phil makes guitar fun again!
I just got the Twin City it's great, I use two analog amp sim cab sims...into my Audient.
It's funny that he briefly mentions Ireland because he apparently spent hours in a vintage guitar shop in Dublin a few years back lol
Phil is a national treasure!
Never heard of this dude but he seems like such a cool kat.
Phil X is HiLaRiOuS! And he's the consummate ROCK STAR. Don does an excellent job of setting Phil up for some of his witty comments. I agree with Don. Sometimes orange sherbert scratches your itch, too. 🙂
Phil X is awesome!
2 of the greats right there
Don... The Man. 🙌❤
My Bad Monkey overdrive just became a Sad Monkey. Ha!

Best advice I've ever got for dialing in my tone.
"Yeah!"
Great video! Thanks
The lady on the right in the purple blouse has a very husky and manly voice😮
I hate not being able to hear myself because it makes it harder to play. But I love that nobody else can hear me because I make so many mistakes. Lol
Phil X is amazing
Can you imagine Phil X and Dimebag hanging out ? That would be an amazingly fun party . Lol
One of the best out there
Phil’s awesome thanks for the time to give us your thoughts. What’s the light up led on your les paul now I want one.
The Drills opening for Steel Panther in my local would make me to leave my mansion.
Keen to see footage of Phil crushing Monkey On Your Back with Aldo Nova!
I love Phil X
I first knew about Phil X from the Fretted Americana videos where he played the evil robot. Man his sound is so much different now, a ton of gain and treble from that Friedman
Bruh I’m 50 and I’m like “hey hey mom this is favorite guitar player look!”
The first video I saw of him was him demoing a Fender Bass VI. The first joke of his I heard is that the strings of this bass have big balls
Amazing stuff here
Phil is amazing
Dude makes me feel better about wanting more overdrives. I just want to make all the tones.
“I add one Friedman to my other Friedman” translates to pairing a ballsy sound with a slightly different type of ballsy. Elegant, wonderful, relatable.
It’s actually known as cerebral ballsy.
@@connshawnery6489 lol. One amp away from having Several Ballsy.
@@CenterThePendulum Lol. Which can result in a Ballsyroom Blitz if you’re not careful.
i always thought that plasma pedal was a gimmick thing for guitar players at home, never thought someone would take it on the road.
