@AerosmithForce1 hotel california dude

[edmatper]

There's something wrong in this world. I can't understand how Phil X is not a great star...

[henryandhismom]

Pls song trying to imitate the chili peppers with your drills crapola.

[qRux1]

[mattparrish123]

[alttuning]

Well, at least I could hear the bass.

[hagojr]

i recon he sounds 100x better live then recorded,he seems to over record and take out all the looseness of his playing when he records doesn't change that he is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

[BackTheBid]

Flying from UK to US from 14th to 28th Sept 2010. Is Phil X playing anywhere in LA during these dates? Cheers

[frettedamericana]

@BackTheBid check out Phil's website for any info: philx.tv

[LedZepplin3853]

PHIL X IS THE COOLEST HUMAN BEING ALIVE :D

[ehlui93]

bass, good. drums, very good. guitar, great. phil, awesome

[toobasaurus23]

That's insane Phil. Can you pleae tell me what pick-ups you have on that Viper? What is that coil on the neck? Your an axe god Phil. You make me practice, even when I feel nothing is working on the fretts. Cheers T23.

[CaptainPenguin93]

Holy shitting dick.

That was a delicious solo.

[miguelbombardauno]

EMG'S?



[GoHabs13]

how can he play that solo throwing his head around like that. I mean when i play i do some pretty rockstar things, but that just looks difficult.

[modali034]

just a question: i allways wanted to learn a guitar, but timing was never wright, recently a frend of mine gave me an epiphone black beauty, but its left handed, because i newer plyed guitar before is it difficult. i dont know ,,but it feels good comfortable. any help will be great on this subject,,,,and yeah frettedamerica. great work man,,keep it up. guys like you makes me feel its newer too late to learn..thanks,,,

[ritzanu90]

the solo was pretty bad-ass!!!

[thomasplusalona]

hay man i know this may not be philx that this comment reaches but if you could ask him if he would send a fan some tabs for his version of the hotel california solo the ending of it. it blew my mind i was at first like heres another hotels california imperinater but after i heard the ending i was blown away it was honestly amazing i have to say but if you could send me some tabs i would love it a lot!!!

[frettedamericana]

@thomasplusalona I will pass on your request, but i can tell you he doesn't use tabs. Phil is a big believer in ear training.. that being said I know the technique he uses at the end is called string skipping. I hope that helps some and thanks for checking us out!

[thomasplusalona]

@frettedamericana no problem i love this channel with all the guitars and stuff this series? has helped me out on a lot of my guitar playing i mean all i have is a b.c. rich bronze and a lil first act amp and this has helped me out a lot so thanks!!!

[maxpowd3r]

@thomasplusalona i could do it for you for a price

[CaptainPenguin93]

@thomasplusalona You should check out the latest fretted americana video. Phil gives a bit of a lesson on how to play that solo. The video is titled "PHIL X SHOWS YOU TRICKS!! 1969 Fender Telecaster"

[luffy8000]

JUST A FUCKING GREAT AND COOL IDOL!!!!!!!!!!!

[lotagu]

@bebble456 ESP Viper

[AndiiTheStratophonic]

he should play the amazing strats of fretted americana..and not a fucked up esp..(even ltd..) this guy is an amazing vintage player!

[weber1215]

@bebble456 i can tell you its an LTD, not whitch one, but it one of those.

[BuryMeDown]

@bebble456 it's an ESP Viper...but with a special design

[AncientItalianSecret]

@bebble456 Esp Viper

[Soulfrax88]

[ckolonko]

[ckolonko]

Phil X is great!

[SlolsofLegend]

[Listirine]

@SlolsofLegend I think it's 1. Hall & Oates - Maneater, 2. The Eagles - Hotel California, and the pieces between and after is The Drills - Sunny Days

[dantelovesu]

[darksideofthymoon]

[superlou1s]

Did Dan leave the band, or is that bassist with the drills for this particular gig?

[MorganBucks]

Awesome!

[najtrows]

that solo makesme happy everytime i hear it!

[Guitardeca]

Phil X is most underrated guitarist in the world!

[willemkerpel1]

@Guitardeca I think he's not underrated, he's just not as famous as other big guitarplayers. but he might be better then a whole lot of them

[Steven23CrazyBassist]

EVERYONE WANTS TO ROCK OUT WITH PHIL!

[stratomaster5]

[simpsonc13]

[jamieakabear2316]

its an esp viper

[TheOzzk]

That's a LTD/ESP viper with a P94, gibson amp, looks like a 1960B 4X12 marshall cab and a fender 4X12 with greenbacks. Rock on!

[oppedx]

@stratomaster5

an esp viper

[Navarre95]

u should make a vid of ur guitar

[jossrules123456789]

its an esp mate

[NullLovesPaintball]

Is that a PC case fan grill over where you're neck pickup should be?

Is that you're own personalized SG or is it a stock Sg that Gibson makes?

Peace out man. You're legendary.

[lukinopg]

ltd sg

[dynamitesteel]

for the 1000000 this is an esp ltd he ripped out the neck pickups and changed the bridge pickup to a seymour duncan jb.

[Renegademaster15]

@NullLovesPaintball Judging by the headstock, it definitely is it not a Gibson

[133m4gg0t133]

Esp viper

[GentalaMaya]

Phil is one crazy guy. You are sick and I love you. Hows hanna montana

[jagjaghuh]

what song is this

[AidanD180]

Whats with the neck pickup??

[rhcpkzi]

r those round things the pickups??..under the strings

[seannyateam76]

Did you see how he did those sweep licks? He doesn't strum the strings like you do when you sweep, he picked all the strings. Amazing :O

[progyrocky]

@seannyateam76

all string skipping between the G and high E.And yes...every note is alternate picking.He used to give me lessons 20 years ago in Toronto.

[slimyesli]

Phil you could beat Satan TWICE you just have so much energy CRAZY. please can you post a lesson or a slowed down version of the shredding part of that solo i've been trying to figure it out by ear but i only got the first part...

[NUTZPLANZE]

dude come to germany....:)

we love you...:)

[SSJ2Killua]

Surprisingly fat tone you got there :) Kudos!

[AdamAlexRyan]

Phil ur one crazy dude ....I LOVE IT!! keep on rockin ur the best

[Jephryej]

Hey Phil... what with The Drills website? You know you aint but a few hours from us here in Ontario. Do you just take these gigs on the fly or can we get an "in" lol. Love ya Phil... Julie has yer pastel waiting for pickup... you know what I mean!

Jeph and Julie

[toobasaurus23]

As a 'massive' Jimmy Page fan, if Page and Phil X went head-to-head in a rock-off, Phil would win. He's the guitarist I want to be, the Ultimate 'All-Rounder'. Douen't matter what style. Phil X is the Axe GOD. Have a great Xmas Phil. Peace. T23

[EJRocky]

Phil could win against Satan. Seriously.

Tenacious D made a big thing about beating the devil in their movie, but I look at that and think... yeah, rockin' band, but it just seems a bit gimmicky.

But I look at Phil, and think... holy shit, this guy could actually challenge Satan to a rock-off.

And blow devil-boy's dick off with his insane rawk.

[HappyAlProductions]

Phil knows how to headbang!

[TheGustavFTW]

Sounds... EXACTLY like the live version.... He's amazing!!!!

[funkbassboom]

amazing playing from everyone! i love the bass!

[vainparasite]

Ive escaped X factor to come and listen to some real musical talent......fantastic playing m8.

[TrevorandGui]

HEADBANGAGE!!! 1:10

[meantean]

hey phill i watch all your vids and im amazed, i was wondering if it wasnt any problem if you could post a lesson on this solo.. that wold be Awsome !

[philx1111]

yes i will. it may be a while before it posts but we will rock that soon.

[philx1111]

it's actually not a Gibson. it's an ESP LTD viper 400 with a seymour duncan alnico pro ll in the bridge position and a gaping hole in the neck position. Also, they didn't have the color i wanted so every inch is covered with white stickers with black art compliments of freedom industries.

[slimyesli]

hey SD Alnico 2 PU are really great arent they??!

[slimyesli]

Hey Phil whats the song you played before hotel California solo?

[vanil4jocker]

[MrChrisHysteria]

[GooglelyTube]

One of the greatest lead riffs of all time - thank you Joe W.!

[Logankeller352]

hotel california is written by don felder

[ianwlad]

hey phil, whats the exact model of your SG?

[GooglelyTube]

I think Phil's guitar is an ESP - not a Gibson SG.

[neonedge9]

Is that a muffin fan grill where the neck pickup should be? What's that about?

[MrJackWaters]

That was insane dude.

[aiden1911]

[FarNNHigh]

[ShadyStation]

PHIL YOU ARE THE BEST~!!!

[holemaster123]

[jamesscott1015]

[redbird963]

@ holemaster123 It's Joe Walsh.... need I say anything else

[DSalois1]

[huntermccartyney]

Wicked for live.

[AncientItalianSecret]

Whats on his guitar?  Is that a cooling vent grill?

[kdjfnvjvd]

@AncientItalianSecret Yes it is a cooling vent.....this man is KNOWN for settin' the strings a blaze!!!

[hevikeke]

@AncientItalianSecret It's ESP or LTD Viper and yes, it's a cooling evnt grill.

[OfficialDrumsNdSkate]

its a flipstick, he invented it so he would whammy from the headstock

[flamincow12]

it looks like a fan

[youngaikidoka]

otherwise everything would just set on fire from the awesomeness :)

[whitestripebuzz]

Fucking hell that was good. Gonna have to get the album. I like the drills more than powder.

[ianwlad]
