Just got to say a big thanks to Phil X and the F A team for ... so many things, but especially the musical education. If it weren't for Phil, I'd have never heard of Rare Earth, and I definitely wouldn't have ordered Rare Earth Live from the web, and my two little girls wouldn't be able to sing and dance to "I just want to celebrate another day of living..." God bless you all... Mobbsy, Australia
@francoraggio09 please upload a video of you playing with half of the variety and skill that phil x does, with the kind of good attitude that he has doing these videos, then you will have the right to call him a douche.
I don't know who the guy in this video is, but he's fucking hilarious. He had me and my buddy laughing in all his videos when we were checking out the guitars. Sick player too.
'Careful' Phil. In a world full of average and horrible people (not all...just a lot that I come by...lol) it is so...so...so refreshing to see an original, upbeat and fantastic person like Phil. Full of life and tellin' it like it is. We need to see more of this in the world. Thanks Mr. X....oh and nice Tele.
If you cant beat the shit out of a 500+ dollar guitar its not a fender tele lol I got one of these reissues and WOW sounds exactly like this vintage one!
hey i was wondering do the original vintage Telecasters have a lacquer coat on the neck like the newer "vintage" Telecaster's have? because it does't look like it does.
@nostalgiaramanny Dude, fuck you, Phil is a great guitar player, he's done over 130 guitar videos, so he's obviously got more skill than you, or you would be up there
Coolest guitar demo vids on youtube, Phil x is an honest to god excellent salesman, great stuff!
I'm just curious though; with those premier instruments and Phil's oh-so-funky chops, can you guys drop some coin on a hifi recording setup? I'm not complaining, but it seems kinda weird that you'd be recording a $75,000 instrument on a system with that much white noise. Again, I love your videos, I'd just like to hear these instruments as clear as possible.
Nice tones on the dirty stuff; how did you get that? He mentioned a Tone Master . . . is he talking about the fender amp?! I wouldn't expect such a nice dirty from a stock fender...
Phil X is the shit. This man knows how to have fun. He looks like he's having fun, whereas other reviewers obiviously look like they're trying to sell something. Phil is just jammin!
@StephenFiorentini Phil is too busy playing guitar to respond - occasionally you'll see him reply (you'll know because the message comes from his Youtube name which is PhilX1111). Otherwise the responses come from either Caroline or Dustin, and if we don't respond, it's because we get between 100 - 200 messages a day !!
love this channel!! say I think my telecaster is hard to play cause all of the sustain, i play mostly chords kind of , do you think a chambered or hollow body would be more forgiving ? I tried a duesenberg starplayer and it was kinda better to play
I have got to know the settings on that vox amp. Sounds amazing! I know it's over a year old, but if you by any chance remember the settings, tell me. Ha!
This piece of shit knows all the songs that exist?
