I luv Phil. He is really a great guitar player and also he's as geeked out as anyone when it comes to finding that right tone for that right situation. He's just a phenomenal all around player!!!
I'm convinced that there are no nicer people on Earth than those who work at Sweetwater. They will absolutely bend of backwards if you're in a bind. My adviser, Darius Beatz, is just a pleasure to do business with but, really, everyone I've ever dealt with has been. First class operation all the way.
I love how you can pick out the exact guitar you're going to get. The'll have five of the same model with different weight and serial numbers. Each one is slightly different and unique. It's guitar heaven!
I discovered Phil X about 6 months ago through UA-cam and am totally bummed to learn that he’s been rocking long before I heard of him. The bright side is I’ve been catching up on all of his videos. I truly think he’s one of the best rock & Roll guitar players out there.
@Dave Dennis. He's on my twitter account. He sent out begging 'tweets' on his account, asking for donations for his Mother-in-laws hospital bills. People were sending in 5$, 10$ and some were poor and apologising for only giving 1 dollar. I don't like that. He is a big earner not only with Bon Jovi (mega) but with all his other music incomes. PONCE.
As far as I've been able to figure out, there was a falling out between Phil and the people that designed the amp, and the company that actually produced it so it was discontinued
“Tone” is starting to become a buzz word that guitar-oriented channels, accounts and videos use to sound legit and sophisticated. If it sounds good to you, then go with it kids.
Love Phil x ... down to earth dude... Love sweetwater it's the only place I buy gear My sweetwater guy David Merkosky is the man... always returns my call, great advise and prices
Mitch was smart to keep his comments to a minimum and let Phil crack on with it. Great interview, would have been great to hear Phil play a little, especially for those who couldn’t get to the gig.
I like the guy, I like the guitar player, I like his search for his own tone, I liked his Friedman amp ... He's now with Supro ? Need to delve into that. I never did and I still dont't like his guitars ....but that's only my opinion of course. Thumbs up anyway.
Phil is such a dichotomy. His playing, and sound, are so stripped down and "basic" (for lack of a better word). But all of his equipment, from his Framus guitars to his amps are super-F*CKING-expensive! Haha. Leave it to Mr. X. Cheers.
Phil is right. Sweetwater does feel like a big family. I visited at Gearfest there last year and arrived a day early before all the madness began. Everyone I met was just awesome, friendly and upbeat. I love that place. I'd find a closet and live there if I could!
Ahhh cmon.. Don't hate; dude got to be Richie Sambora in BonJovi on their last tour!!! A gig he fell backwards into by covering Dead or Alive on Fretted Americana, flawlessly i might add!!
Oh sweet! He got a Supro sponsorship!! He's in good company cuz they sponsor Cheetah Chrome as well! Way to go Philippe Equis!! Oh and P90s are the best p'up ever.
Phil X is such a cool dude... kind of guy that is very talented, but won't brag about it... he will just prove it. Also, seems like he would be the type to have some "far out" talks about life, religion, and the future...
Does he have only on tshirt or many of the same?..... Honestly this guy is a hoot... You can't watch him for more than 15 seconds without just plain cracking up.
That "handshake" was so god damned awkward, like, hey can I be the interviewer dude please? I play hella guitar and can actually connect with people unlike this robot
ot only is Phil clearly a super nice guy, but he's self depreciating and humble in a very endearing way. He's also a shit hot guitarist who's getting all the good things that he deserves.
Its funny guys like Phil X talk about tone, i have been doing this since the 80's. Nothing new. George Lynch had the TONE in 1987 we still all are seeking.
Great offering. One of my fave EC discs was From The Cradle. Some tunes were one take, others like my personal fave Five Long Years was like 5 takes. Keep on kicking ass, Phil !
I miss fretted americana :) 😂 good to hear him again !
guitar genius there!
No sound demo?!
Phil X . This is the most calm I’ve ever seen him .
Somebody slipped Ritalin into his edibles.
@@tonyfondacaro1980 Makes no sense
Phil is the coolest dude in the guitar world. Great interview with a guitar God who has a passion for music!
Don't kid yourself, Mitch. You are more than cool enough.
I luv Phil. He is really a great guitar player and also he's as geeked out as anyone when it comes to finding that right tone for that right situation. He's just a phenomenal all around player!!!
Phil Freaking X
Hell Yeah 🤘
Thank's 4 sharing Sweetwater rocks
Phil is the Otto Mann of the rock world

Nostal Jack I’ll second that. Sweetwater is a case study in a customer centric company.

Absolutely one of my favorite guitar Players!!
Good ol' canuck right there!!!
I'm so proud of Phil and the technical information he brings to us, always so generously and enthusiastically...
I love it!
After you watch, give this video a thumbs up and subscribe! 😎🤘
bro, you get a thumbs up for that handshake alone!!! 10/10
After?
If you have Phil X, it's already cool. 👍
After hearing Bon Jovi live this year I wonder how long it will take before Phil's taking over the lead song too... Phil is a beast ♥️
Phil X is the man.
Good guitarist but he's a bread-head creep.

@@antreb15 Sure it wasn't a scam?
Phil X is awesome, always friendly and great info.
Phil X = Pro
What happened to the Evil Robot?
As far as I've been able to figure out, there was a falling out between Phil and the people that designed the amp, and the company that actually produced it so it was discontinued
Phil Rocks and great tone info :)
A man of exceptional talent...
“Tone” is starting to become a buzz word that guitar-oriented channels, accounts and videos use to sound legit and sophisticated. If it sounds good to you, then go with it kids.
Phil X is THE MAN! He’s so right about tone.kids listen up.
Phil is the coolest, great interview. 2 amps per performance, I do that too!! Works great!
next time "play" the Amp!! .. (please) :)
Not a Bon Jovi fan, but have massive respect for Phil X... thanks for the lesson and information.
Phil was popular WAY before his Jovi stint.
I'm gonna have to try pairing my tweed champ with a marshall and see what happens! :D
Love PhilX... He's like a cross between Sammy Hagar & a springer spaniel.
Nailed it! I laughed my ass off! That was great.
Love Phil x ... down to earth dude... Love sweetwater it's the only place I buy gear My sweetwater guy David Merkosky is the man... always returns my call, great advise and prices

Anything Phil X - instant click!
Phil is such a dichotomy. His playing, and sound, are so stripped down and "basic" (for lack of a better word). But all of his equipment, from his Framus guitars to his amps are super-F*CKING-expensive! Haha. Leave it to Mr. X. Cheers.
A $1000 5 watt amp? I’m good.
That's right😀👍🎶🎸
I seen nuns go done the slide 😂😂🤣
Mitch lost weight for Phil. Congratulations Mitch.
Love Philxx....hes so down to earth, and seems like just like a fun dude to be around, and a fantastic guitar player, and song writer, 🤟😎🎸😊
He sounds like Otto from The Simpsons at 1:13
That band has unreal talent.
Phil & JJ Nichols are turning into each other.. Like they share a final form.
Phil X's Framus guitars have to be the sickest looking guitars ever, sad he left framus to go to gibson
Phil X baby! WAAAAOOOOW!!! 😆
Seeing Phil, even slightly subdued, makes me feel lost in the world/lol.
Actual amp talk starts at @4:08
I love when Phil X isn't hopped up on speed and speaks like a normal person. He's a killer guitarist.
Plot twist: he's always sober.
Phil is right. Sweetwater does feel like a big family. I visited at Gearfest there last year and arrived a day early before all the madness began. Everyone I met was just awesome, friendly and upbeat. I love that place. I'd find a closet and live there if I could!
How about the solo from “Closer to the heart,” by Rush?
girth and a tight bottom end are very important...
Nothing lightens up the day quite the same as a Phil X video does with his rock spirit.
"Good guy to have in the band."
Best compliment ever.
I preferred the old or should I say young and simple music store demo guy Phil x.... Sorry phill.
Ahhh cmon.. Don't hate; dude got to be Richie Sambora in BonJovi on their last tour!!! A gig he fell backwards into by covering Dead or Alive on Fretted Americana, flawlessly i might add!!

Anyone know what the opening song is?
Phil really knows his stuff! Great interview.
What happened with the Friedman X?
What model is the small supro
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh cooooooooooooollll
Good stuff ☝️🎶🎵🎶🇨🇦
Phil X is such a cool dude... kind of guy that is very talented, but won't brag about it... he will just prove it. Also, seems like he would be the type to have some "far out" talks about life, religion, and the future...
I like when Phil says "spongy" that he air grabs a set of... You know what.
Great interview!
Does he have only on tshirt or many of the same?..... Honestly this guy is a hoot... You can't watch him for more than 15 seconds without just plain cracking up.

ot only is Phil clearly a super nice guy, but he's self depreciating and humble in a very endearing way. He's also a shit hot guitarist who's getting all the good things that he deserves.
He keeps it simple and makes it sound so great. He’s makes rock music fun. Like to hear him play with Jared James Nichols. That would be entertaining.
Phil is a rock star that needed a place to happen. That woulda been cool.
What guitar is Richard Fortus playing in this video?
Gotta love Phil X . MONSTER player !
A video that makes one feel sorry for all the aspiring guitarists who try to achieve the sound on bundle amp and guitar.
He just skips over the evil robot amp
I just got turned on to Phil and I really dig the guy he a lot like Sammy Hager he's the real deal and super funny!
Its funny guys like Phil X talk about tone, i have been doing this since the 80's. Nothing new. George Lynch had the TONE in 1987 we still all are seeking.
He's wearing the same shirt my girlfriend has. Deathwish makes a hell of a coffee. Odin force blend is the best.
Has anyone seen that masterclass Phil mentioned? Would love to see it
Why is Julian Assange interviewing Phil X?
I could listen to phil x talking in hours
Spicoli meets rock n roll! Love Phil!
Sweetwater and Phil X, awesome!
Dang, I thought we would've seen Phil go down the slide. …0:14 Hahaha! Mitch seems he needs to be a bit more relaxed.
Phil X is encyclopaedic when it comes to tone.
Always a pleasure listening to Phil, serious but fun!
Great offering. One of my fave EC discs was From The Cradle. Some tunes were one take, others like my personal fave Five Long Years was like 5 takes.
Keep on kicking ass, Phil !
First 35 seconds: 'who's got the biggest salami'
Phil is the coolest guy on this planet !!
This is the most relaxed Phill X I’ve seen.
Wow 10 seconds in and it’s awkward
Phil X is a class act and Killa player.
Really grown to appreciate Phil. He knows where it's at. Great interview.
Such a beast rock guitarist
"People are like ' why do you have so many guitars?' - WHOA!! What people? I need names to give to Arya.
Phil is a fantastic player and super fun guy, great to see him featured in the channel!
Hi..!!! I´m Metallica..!!!!!!!!!!! :))
What happened........I fell asleep ?
Great video thx !
Great info thanks bro! 🎸
Love Phil x I SAAAAID PHIL XXXXXX
Girth - very important
Phil X is such a cool dude!
