@ilshockll That's good dude you cant just play you have to have some other element like Phil has because nobody wants to watch people get on stage and play like your a statue Like alot of these schools of rock things are like.
@stgarp85 its easy you just drop the low E string to a certain point then you can hammer on and bring the tuning back up, make sure you have a good ear for tuning otherwise you wont be able to bring it back to correct tuning.
@hantunescafe Yes. Freiheit Custom Guitars- Freiheit Hybrid Les Paul Standard. it is loaded with Jon Moore custom pickups. it has a "AAAAA" curly maple top and African Mahogany back and neck. Indian rosewood fingerboard and ceylon ebony headstock overlay. The inlays are real mother of pearl. Also check out the facebook group "Freiheit Guitars Owners Group". bradfreiheit@rogers.com or 519-722-8357
Love Phil X doing all the guitar demos on frettedamericana and here he is just killing it and looks to be the happiest guy on the planet doing what he does so well. If we could bottle Phil's energy and dynamics he could probably light up a whole city. Keep rockin' dude.
Well its a bit of a trade off, obviously hes not the best writter in the world, if your looking for the best writter in the world your asking for Phil X to be Bob Dylan, Kurt Cobain, Neil Young, etc and thats really not fair.
as for comparing him to Eddie Van Halen, they were probaly talking about his skills on guitar.
@steffsweet45 what are you talking about? the parts when he is singing and playing the guitar at the same time aren't that difficult. Its just rhythm. now singing and playing that lead solo stuff....shiitt

@pmaicol He's actually hitting the low E and pressing down on the string between the tuning machine and the nut to raise the pitch. It will go back pretty close to where it was before.
@pmaicol he's not pulling the headstock !! you have to push the strings ! the part behind the nut ! (between the nut and tuners) should be easy to do provided you have a well set up nut !!
hey phil man would you perhaps tell me how to kick ass like you? well except peeling off your skin and attaching it to mine with a complex operation. or wearing your boots.
It depends on how you play. Phil himself put it best. "Ear training is the best way to learn music, because you can learn ways to reach complicated chords easier" if you play it the Eddie Van Halen way with your hands all over the place, then NO its not possible to sing at the same time.
One of my fav. songs from Van Halen. You may as well have recorded it and not Eddie. That's how good it was. Ice Cream Man would be something else very exciting for you to play and/or sing. You rock and make me feel good about myself, somehow . haha Just so happy all the time. I'd like to play like you some day. Been playing for 5 years now.
Damn good brown sound!!
