Sol Philcox - Live From My Living Room

[ozpicker]

@ellonysman... I know exactly how you feel bud. I'm 48 and trying to learn this and slowly I'm getting there. Its called practise and having the time on your hands to do it. Time is what young kids have plenty of, no commitments, work, financial worries, etc etc. I had the ability and use to play in bands but I treated it like 1 big party and started drinking and smoklng... biggest mistake of my life but at least Im straight and focused now.

[ChrissRoss1]

Look at the clock at 1:00 and then at 4:15!

[AmnFry]

@ChrissRoss1

i noticed that too...what the hell is up with that?! weird right?!

[Richeray]

@ChrissRoss1 both clips were filmed the same day - which is why he's wearing the same cloths - I edited them together to make one clip. That's why the clock is different.

[ChrissRoss1]

@Richeray Yeah I know the basics of editing Lol, I was just wondering if someone would reply me somethin' like why the hell are lookin' at the goddam clock insteadd of this pretty bad ass guitarist!

[musicisart2]

@ChrissRoss1 if your playing is awesome enough - time reverses itself - see Einstein!

[antony71p]

@ChrissRoss1 ....weird

[KISSTRONIX]

THATS SOME NATURAL EASY TALENT YAV GOT THERE LAD, SOUNDS FAB, KEEP YA FEET ON THE GROUND AN GO FOR IT.....

[Funkyryno]

Sol could fart into a Tele pickup and twang would come outta the amp, 

[GameLevelEditor]

Hes on to style!

[milcio79]

Hey Kid, you'll be a guitar legend someday, congrats!!!! good skills!!!

[satijournal]

Kind of reminds me of a cross between Eric Clapton and Albert Lee.

[mollers92]

Hang on, fellow English country picker? Infinite respect.

[wewalkedonglass7]

he's playing in a pop/rock band in Nashville. "Have You Heard"

They are legit.

[poguie]

Is that Mr John Hiatt I see there on the wall? He's a legend that man.

[Richeray]

@poguie Yup!! :^)

[fistchips]

hes a good picker..remind me of brad paisley..

[shred73]

wow ..jerry donahue and danny gatton's love child..abSOLutely awesome!

[bryandunnblues]

I comment on one of Sols videos about 3 years ago on Utube about how badass he was. He told me he was going to Nashville to record with Brent Mason , and I thought to myself, "sure you are". Look at him now? Doing everything he said, look at me now :)

[neromustdie]

that is some serious talent

[ellonysman]

he taught himself to play like this?????? im going crazy now....how did he do this, books? when youre young your brain can work like a sponge but mine is dried out at fifty six years old, dang, i should have learned early in life....sigh....cry....great work...is he recording or what...must be his trade right? have you seen the guy, named sorenson from denmark...he plays telecaster chicken pickin under youtube...incredible telecaster player...check 'em out

[bryandunnblues]

@ellonysman Its called "ear"

[GuillermoSmyser]

@ellonysman Just watch country lessons and learn all of them and then learn songs and improvise a lot using the little tricks you've learned in the lessons and other riffs.

[loopdawgg]

kid with a brain.....makes me wanna drind more beer!

[bengrockson]

hes a cool guy, my best friend is ethan forest, shannon forest's son and we hung with sol, hes a cool player

[mpm1985]

Sick Playing!

[treelifeUK]

How does he manage bird noises on a tele? awesome!

[wonekawa]

@treelifeUK that's a 2008 canary... the version without the B bender...

[KingHopeMusic]

Fab playing and man, I heard those Dr. Z's were killer amps. Great combination of Sol and Dr. Z!!! They should put out a "Sol Z" model!! Cheers. ~KK

[johnqpublic2718]

so this is the first time i've seen a guitarist younger than me but possessing immensely more chops than me. brilliant.

[JWPilg02]

I've been playing nearly thirty years. Most of my pals say I'm the best around, but nothing I do compares to Sol. What is this guy's motivation? There must be something the rest of us are missing! Sol, you are like John Lennon; thank God you came along!!!

[JWPilg02]

Fxxxx'n smokin' hot!!! I've been playing nearly thirty years and your talent inspires me!!! I've watched all of your current stuff 100's of times. Sol, do us all a favor and post something weekly or at least monthly!

[Richeray]

@JWPilg02 You can catch Sol on the road with Jake Owen these days, but the next time he's up for a visit we'll do some more clips.

[pomod]

Justin Beiber has nothing on this kid --

joking aside, Sol Philcox is the next great white hope for the telecaster!

awesome!

[TheLaytonpeck]

lovely

[yesmon4real]

nice playing :)

[mongoose000]

Great hands and instincts -- I hope someone that talented works towards cultivating more of their own voice though.That's what ultimately sets the great players apart -- not the pyrotechnics.

[anitadavideduo]

YEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

[walterockmx]

You have a lot of future in Music Business as a Guitar Player

You play very Good!

[virtuosoguitarist]

This is great! Thanks for sharing. Great gear and superbly played! Was Sol using the Comprossor or Juicer side of the Bi-Comp?

[Richeray]

I think it was the Comprossor side. I know he prefers that side on the one he has.

[virtuosoguitarist]

I thought it was the Ross side! I have a Comprossor and Analogman does a great job with these pedals. I'm thinking of getting a Bi-comp. Thanks!

[kdjfnvjvd]

who taught this kid to play? Was it u dad? he's a badass he's really got somethin' great.

[Richeray]

Sol is self taught. Thanks for the comment.

[brandon5pennies]

i met this dude he's a fantastic musician

[Rambo29]

good to see younger kids rockin like this

[polishcomedy]

The pedal steel licks at 1:34 and 1:36 are total ear candy.

[sjuozhunki]

@polishcomedy IT'S FROM JERRY DONAHUE OF THE HELLECASTERS

[Gazmaj]

Awesome dude real nice playing you know how to play a Tele !

[dtadeo2006]

thats so natural!

[CedricIII]

Sounds like someone has been listening to Jerry Donahue here... great!

[Fiirenze]

I think those are extracts? Good combination.

[Fiirenze]

Starting from 2:30, it reminded me of AC/DC.

[cmartinjr2]

Good Lord... o_0

[metalcore929]

Awesome awesome talent.

[Dompicker]

Sol- my english brother - I think you really are the future my friend, Hope to see you play back on yonder UK shores some time soom. If you are ever in london and fancy thrashing the pants out of a 58 relic and a bassman, let me know. Nice one mate

[metalcore929]

Just kdding.

[ThreeChordGuitar]

[bitcheznhos]

i bought a '52 tele and put 13 gauge strings on it and it is hard to play now

[cgravier]

duh

[iplaymusc]

Oh my god!!! 1:35-1:40! How did you even think of that! Man you're blazin!

[ColinPRS]

Great playing and tone, how did you learn that stuff? Wow, sounded like the budgie in the background enjoyed it.

[RiverRaid2]

I love people

[kdjfnvjvd]

Sol, do you know you're a bad dude??

[lakepeace67]

big talent

fantastic

go on!

five stars!

[voodoochili12]

Just curious... how old is this fella?

[Richeray]

He was 18 when this was filmed, 19 now.

[cupjake]

that was amazing. can't wait for this kid to put out some more stuff.

[parosite]

this kid has tallent !!

[Stokkelo]

In fact he has more talent for playing than you have for spelling....

[djoe1961]

This is so lyrical!!!! What a great talent you are Sol. I'm your biggest fan....from now on.......check it out. Wow!!!! Love this kids stuff......thanks for sharing.

[Nubias]

Great playing!!

[dba00]

Wow! Amazing feel and technique...

Love your sound..

[RiffinGriffin]

Awesome playin philcox!... So i'm curious as to how you came across this 0813 tele. I would love to hear the story behind the guitar.

[DAI6LE]

you should hear this guy play the blues then ... watch his video blues deluxe and tell me he's meant to be a country artist

[Richeray]

He's also a great Jazz player.

[slopbucket74]

FFFFFFffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuccc­cckkkkkkk..............

[YofterMofter]

Amazing playing, very subtle and melodic. He understands what "less is more" means. Thank you for posting it!

[jcmusic724]

at what point in this clip does he do "less"? exceptionally melodic and fluid!

[macdaddylorenzo]

man . . . and I thought I knew how to play guitar. looking at this kid makes me feel like I never even saw a guitar before!

[ratraceloser]

Man, that's some great playing from a young musician! You got soul, bro...Just bought a 52' telecaster reissue myself - it's replaced my beloved strat.

[gittahfiend]

the next albert lee!

[stephencrf80]

you should get an agent (a dam good one to)

[xxxpitcher5]

dangggggggg.....

got skilzz

[johndmo]

forget it; i'm throwing my guitar out the window :)

[petofo]

is it good....give it to me first! lol

[containznutzrule]

It's the kid from crossroads!

[gregory49]

awesome run at 2:05!

[sk8ericeee]

how old is dis dude????

[Richeray]

as of yesterday - he's 19. Happy Birthday Sol!!!!!!

[Geokouu]

very nice tone and ofc philcox knows how to make a guitar sound good... are everything stock?pickups? what year this guitar produced ?

[livebytheboard87]

sol u r awesome...

[rockmetalmachine]

man what a great player and a great equipment how its called tyhat shiny baby stratocoaster

[blahman178]

2:59 he takes the tone knob from 0 to 10 to create a wah effect, awesome.

[staplek]

love the pedal steel licks

[guitarman5560]

It would be nice to hear you play to some backing tracks or with a band. Although some of what you do is impressive its just a bunch of noodling. Much more impressive to see how you'd phrase all those licks in a practical context.

[Richeray]

You could always go to his MySpace page and buy his CD if you would like to hear him with a full band playing his original music. :^)

[ronnierhoads]

You got the touch KId!!Keep going Keep going!!

You got the 1,4,5 covered.. Now, let me hear some tri-tone substitutions in your single string lines...You are awesome!!!

[ytpwsl]

How do you know you've grown old? When I was 18, my heroes were 40. Now that I'm 40 myself, my heroes turn out to be 18. There are only two possible reactions: to either immediately stop practicing or immediately begin practicing. I choose the latter, but without hope of ever getting there. You're a Paganini, guy!

[loungecruz]

nice steel type bend around 1:40

[johanfeyaerts]

yeah i'd like to see how he does that in slow motion sounds cool

[vladgromek]

once again I'm completely awestruck by Sol's playing. this goes right beyond mere technical abiltity and I really do hope, too, we can expect great things from him. someone should tell Eric Clapton to get him for the next round of the Crossroads Festival, in case there will be one...

[nowitsdone]

wow I'm fan of this guy!

great great playing.

[JKryanX]

wow, sol, nice playing! how did you get to his living room in usa? are you playing shows there or just go to play the 52?

[blahman178]

I expect great things from this guy.

[Oskykid]

Tele+Dr.Z+Talent = Fantastic clip!

[blahman178]

sounds great!
