  • 1:12 sounds like the last part of a movie called crossroads

  • this j200 Model has Single-X bracing pattern or Double-X??

  • garbage playing on a great guitar, sort of standard in the world. people with stupidly expensive guitars ironically sound inexperienced and bad.

  • @Fruscianteistheman You think you're better than this guy? Watch some more videos with him in and I think you'll take back what you said.

  • whats that song at 1:08 please i want to find the tabs or sheet music

  • looks like the guitar that dwight yoakam had at the begining of little sister

  • So sweet sound!!!!!!!

  • It's that amazing, unique J-200 sound I've grown to love so much <3

  • 1:12 dude that's awesome o_o

  • Is it me, or does this guitar have a rockin mustache?

  • I love that he just can't stop playing

  • whats the melody called at 1:00+ ?

  • @Georg5555 That's Nicolo Paganini's violin piece called The Caprice, later adjusted to piano by Robert Schumann. Hope that helps. ;)

  • what is the first song?!

  • good ones are always hard to stop playing

  • @hsoux33 its paginini caprice no.5 actually

  • I'm sure many of us would kill someone 30 times plus to own that instrument

  • Oh man nail polish on a dude..echh!

  • if we all had a guitar like that, there would be no reason to having electrics.

  • What is the song in the beginning?

  • what song is it in the beginning?

  • The 1960s (&1970s) J200s are not good guitars - way overbraced.

    The 50s ones are collectors pieces.

    The new ones (from the late 80s onwards) are excellent.

  • @TerrySleeper I think the J-200 in general is the ultimate acoustic, but I have only played newer ones

  • Wuts the name of the song he said he wouldnt get???

  • Buy that guitar or a new house? The guitar!!

  • Awesome playing!. what are the chords for the opening riff?? thanks!

  • Do a Kyle gass solo! Or zakk wylde

  • lol. I'm picturing Phil playing a Tenacious D song on an acoustic

  • Meu sonho de consumo!

  • DIARY OF A MADMAN!!!! RANDY RHOADS R.I.P. BEST GUITAR PLAYER :'(

  • The fact that you excel at both acoustic and electric guitar is something else. Nice job

  • Sweet - just like Dylan's on "Nashville Skyline"....

  • quiero tu trabajo loco

  • Looks like the Phil X can only be tamed by a sweetass acoustic guitar.

  • A real beauty. 

  • what's the 3rd song he plays?

  • Was that High and Dry?

  • You are awesome guitarist,it is pleasure to hear and watch you playing.

    Is this some kind of Nuno Bettencourt black nails style? :P

  • oh my God he knows how to sit still!!! haha gotta love him

  • Does anyone know if gibson make or have in the past made left handed j200s?

  • Hey Phil, do you do much fingerpicking when you play off camera?

  • 0:20 sounds a lot like "The Necromancer" by Rush :P

  • @SubaUba Agreed.

  • lol look at his arm muscles when he's strumming, looks AWWESOMEE!

  • sweet sound.

  • That is the most GORGEOUS acoustic guitar i have ever fucking seen.

  • They look the part, but I don't really think they sound that amazing for the money. I have a Lag acoustic which cost £120, and reviews say that they sound just as good with the right strings.

    But then I tried a Larrivee. Oh my.

  • THE BEST SOUND AND THE BEST BEAUTIFUL GUITAR ALL TIMES!!!

  • listing price?

  • @ilmanmuutajamuutilma for any info, please email me - many thanks.

  • how much would a normal j 200 cost?

  • @ddenniszzz A lot.... Think of it as the High end Les Paul of Acoustics....

  • that is one beautiful guitar!

  • Not sure if its the faggy fingernail polish or the fact that you're simply incapable of playing that beautiful Gibson J-200. Laugh at yourself, everyone else is...

  • @latta4 hahaha couldnt have said it better myself. probably thats why someone finally bought it, out of pity for the guitar...

  • Comment removed

  • @kdelplancke  In the $4500 range in Canada! Maybe I'll stick with a Guild. lol

  • I got goosebumps. I just want to touch it!!!

  • hey guys do u think i should get a 1958 gibson b-25n in perfect playing condition i love the way it feels but what do u guys think

  • whats the song that starts at 0:58?

  • This guitar used Harrison Too is very nice

  • sounds as rich as a 12 stringed

  • WOW.....what song does he start playing around 1:10 ish??? looks like a GREAT finger exercise, LOL

  • @TheBrokenWing1: Sounds like it's from "Eugene's Trick Bag" by Steve Vai. It's from the movie Crossroads. Vai plays it in a much higher key but the way this guy is playing it is pretty cool. Vai very well could have copped it from some Classical piece. Sounds Bach-ish.

  • @KokotTheMonkey

    Paginni's 5th caprice (in A minor)

  • @KokotTheMonkey It's a spinoff of Paganini's 5th Caprice, but I agree, when I first heard it, it sounded very Bach-ish hahah

  • @KokotTheMonkey It's the 5th caprice from Paganini ...

  • @KokotTheMonkey the origional composer was paganini

  • @KokotTheMonkey Actually it's from the 5th Caprice of paganini. Vai's song is really inspired by this one

  • @KokotTheMonkey Paganini's fifth caprice i think

  • @KokotTheMonkey It's Paganini's Caprice no.5

  • @KokotTheMonkey It's Paganini's Caprice number 5

  • The best acoustic I've ever seen, that's for sure.

  • @KokotTheMonkey 5th caprice of paganini :D

  • @KokotTheMonkey it was paginini's(or however its spelld) caprice #5 is what it was taken from

  • @KokotTheMonkey It's a segment from Paganinis 24th Capricci for solo violin (which was used in the crossroad movie)

  • @KokotTheMonkey He Plays It In A Higher Octave Not Key

  • i wonder how much you would sell a 38 j-200 for.

  • Phil X! If you're out there reading this please play some pink floyd "wish you were here" on one of these sweet acoustics!

  • The chords at the begging of the video are, E H A E, but first E is an octave higher, than he plays it higher on 12 fret :)

    Hope that helps :)

    Phil x you play guitar better than chuck norris :)))

  • guitard is a douche

  • Whas he play at :57??

  • @riseagainstmeatloaf Check your inbox :)

  • @riseagainstmeatloaf Yeah man, that would be cool but i'm a little scared to put my email ID onto YouTube. I don't want spam.

  • i thought you wer pretty good despite ur nails :)

  • What he plays at 0:47 and 0:58?

  • your killing that guitar man

  • whats the song he plays in the beginning?

  • Chords to the first bit of strumming, please?

  • @joeljudah77 it's improv, believe it or not. I've figured it it out, and can send it to you.

  • @riseagainstmeatloaf could you send it to me too, please ? =D

  • hey 'fretted america,' this philx guy is awesome! could you please give me the chords for the first bit, found it quite melodius :)

  • What kind of strings did you use during this vid?

    please help

  • He is a nice guy and a great guitar player. But the black fingernails suck. Otherwise I have no black fingernails and my guitar playing sucks. So maybe I should get black fingernails. I would do so if it helps, but I doubt that... :-)

  • im tired of people ripping on phil x hes a good guitar player and a pretty cool guy

  • what is the 1st osng that your playin??

  • @tomopdecomputer I believe it's Salt Of The Earth by the Stones. Not sure though.

  • The last song he played was Pantera's "The Sleep", wasn't it? :)

  • Cool paganini stuff you played!

  • put it down ur killing that guitar

  • deryck from sum41 owns one of those... :o

  • Cheers Fretted Americana & Phil - I have really enjoyed your videos - great to see the love & enthusiasm in your playing. I have a 2005 J200, a 2007 American Strat, a Les Paul Standard & a Martin OOO-15.

    BTW - it's best just to ignore the haters & idiots who watch stuff just to criticize. They want to solicit a response from you to give meaning to their pathetic lives.

    Give them your pity only.

    Keep rocking - great stuff.

    DK in the UK

  • my guitar teacher has the epiphone version of this guitar, its a really cool guitar

  • nice nail polish

  • No bass, no middle, no body very thin.. a Gibson?

  • @Pan3405 i think it sounds quite beautiful

  • what song is the first that your playing?

  • what song is the first song that your playing?

  • @2:55 Diary....that's one of my favorite riffs. Nice job and the Gibby sounds killa.

  • billie joe armstrong of greenday used gibson J200

  • @guitard777 Shut up... Phil X is awesome... i mean listen to what he played from 1:10 to 1:27. I bet u can't play that! Oh yeah, and 1 more thing... if ur soo good, why don't u have any vids of u playing guitar on youtube?

  • chidas tus uñas D:

  • wat song were u playin???

  • eugene XD

  • Well, maybe it was that incessant and annoying strumming, but I was expecting more from a J-200 than that. I wonder what it would sound like in the hands of a finger-stylist extradanaire such as Tommy Emmanuel, rather than this 'strummer-bummer". Prolly needs to re-tune every 3 minutes the way THIS guy plays. Hard to listen to that noise.

  • @guitard777 yeah ok... let's see your superior skills please...

  • @frettedamericana hahahaha

  • @frettedamericana dude ur awsome

  • @frettedamericana fuck you

  • @guitard777 dude, a j200 is the very best strumming guitar. I don't even think it should be yoused for fingerpicking. If you want that sound go look for an OM / 000 / grand auditorium model. Don't go picking on someone you know is way better than you. best of luck judging without knowing what it's about

  • @guitard777 I think he plays fucking great!

  • @guitard777 Well you picked the right name for yourself. "TARD" Have you seen the videos Phil has made? Not to mention the list of people he has played with and albums he has played on. I only wish to be as half as good as Phil is. Oh and he is Canadian so thats a plus. Go back to jerkin off in your basement and wishin you could play like him. Put up or shut up gui "TARD".

  • @guitard777 You do realize that the way Tommy Emmanuel rapes a guitar, puts way more stress on the guitar? The way he constantly bends the neck isn't very healthy

  • @guitard777 there was a kid in my school that used to talk like this everythime someone was touching a guitar.like "you only play some chords you dont know shit"

    long story short he went to hospital

  • @guitard777 ....naah more like retard777. Phil you rock our world. Your licks and good nature are inspiring. The sun shines just a little brighter after watching one of your vids. Thank you!!

  • @guitard777 it sounds amazing...what are you talking about???

  • @guitard777 jeez why do you have to bash the guy's playing? he's merely demoing the instrument so people can get an idea to what it sounds like. get a life

  • @guitard777 adjustable saddle douche...

  • @guitard777 right.. because only fingerstyle player can bring out the sweetness of an acoustic? ORly? don't think so.....Phil X is great and I want him to keep on playin dem classics!!!!!!!!

  • @guitard777 your a fag, that was amazing acoustic playing, i would like to see you do better!!!

  • @guitard777 that was amazing acoustic playing, your just jealous because he is playing like that while you are home strumming a D chord if you even know that much.

  • @guitard777 hahaha Man, insane comment... Bro, what the hell, cool down!!

  • @guitard777 Shut the hell up....

  • @guitard777 i like how i saw the exact same comment on another video with the same guitar

  • @derekswan144 I tkink it's from film wich called "Crossroads"

  • What a nice guitar for a blackbird performance ! Is it possible for you to test the Gibson Elvis Presley King of Rock J-200 ? Thank you !

  • How much did u guys sell it for?

  • love this guitar! thanks for playing open chords, I play like that most of the time and it helps to hear what the guitar sounds like :)

  • whats the song at 1:15 ?

  • its some greek jig thing hes talked about it alot but i forget whats its called

  • u are nice! do u know if sj 200 has any sound difference with j 200 studio?thx :)

  • diary...of a madman

  • what songs are you playing

  • what is the name of all the songs

  • this is really my favorite acoustic guitar j200's owns

  • whats the song at 1:15 ?

  • You really could if you were playing them side by side. The Taylor is bright, the Martin deep (think Johnny Cash), the J-200 is very very deep and a basic Ephiphone dingy. All but the Epi use solid woods which gives them a richer tone. I owned a Taylor 410 but now own a Martin D-28.

    If you're in the market, go to a store with a tape recorder and play several. Then go home and listen. You will find the tone and guitar you like. It's hard to watch and shop guitars on youtube. Hope I helped.

  • seriously can't tell the difference in sound between that an a Ephihone, a Taylor, or Martin.

  • @uncleluck Even if it sounds the same to you, if you buy the cheaper guitar, it will have problems MUCH more frequently than the Gibson

  • @uncleluck Consider yourself lucky, you won't have to worry about spending as much on a guitar haha.

    If an Epi makes you equally happy to a Gibson, Martin, Taylor, Santa Cruz, etc. pocket the extra cash, pick long and prosper.

    They do sound different, in my opinion at least. But that's MY opinion and your milage may vary.

  • phil you almost made me cry at the begining...

  • why does such an AWESOME guit player have emo black fingernails? man up phil, i never saw eddie with fingernail polish!!

    btw, you shred dude.

  • search our videos for a performance of POWDER, Phil X's turbo rock band.. we did this session the next day
