  • whats that song in the beging?

  • Great guitar. Phil is kind of a wanker. Plays too much without substance

  • One of the most INSANE sounding FA's guitars I've heard

  • Jakeywilko you can shut up

  • he's not even good....

  • awesome! both the guitar and the solo!!

  • That strap really goes with a Les Paul Custom.

  • 40 faggots that dont like this video thumbs up if you think the same

  • press 1 for "Mean Street" again!! :D

  • why does everyone keep saying this guys a beast hes not. He is THE BEAST!!!!

  • Ok, so not only is this guy a great player but a really good dude. we were hangin out last night in NYC and it's nuts.. we were just talking about this model, as being the best LP Jr ever made.. a 1958 Gibson Les Paul Jr. TV Model.. the finish was made that color cuz execs at Gibson wanted the guitar to "pop out" more on B&W TV than the sunburst models did.. cool, huh? Rare and RADD.

  • @brianrayguitar hey Brian, I've seen you using a Gibson Les Paul Jr. before, but I can't remember which model?

    love your solo stuff, keep up the good work...

    and please check out my channel ;D

  • @thecaseysmusic you have just talked to Paul McCartney's lead guitarist,well done!

  • i guess he with that he had a whammy bar

  • Don't flame me, but it reminds me of an 8-bit game :D Don't worry, I love 8-Bit

  • What was the first song he played before ERUPTION

  • @101guitarest "Mean Street", leadoff track from Van Halen's Fair Warning album.

  • This is the ultimate video for me! A 1958 Les Paul Junior was my very first guitar, exactly like this one. Phil-X can make it "ROCK"!!!! Good job!

  • Phil you rock!!!!

  • @zaccarroll are you fucking kidding me? Phil X doesn't work in the shop...he gets paid to do the videos....he's been an LA studio musician who's played on countless records for the last 20 and he's a fucking god at guitar.....so shut the fuck up and stop talking about shit you don't know about fag

  • Oh my God, I want my click back! What a stupid douchbag.

  • @M3CoupeC50 says the stupid douchebag.

  • Great guitar and great playing.

    I love vintage guitars and it's great to hear Phil playing the shit out of that 58' Les Paul TV junior that's what guitars are made for in the first place.

    So people who complain shut up and be happy that the guitar is actually being played instead of lying in a safe or something!

    @Phil great playing man :-)

  • Phil X. is an expert guitar player.

  • how much meth did you have during the making of this, and where can I get the same kind of meth?

  • I bet the dude who bought this guitar only bought it cuz Phil X played Eruption on it!

  • Phil is a very entertaining individual. I enjoy the videos.

  • OK.....what's with all the negative bullshit about Phil? The guy's an awesome player, gets to show off some crazy-fine guitars, and he's funny as hell. Ya'll are just jealous 'cause Phil's got the greatest job on the world! Now piss off and go watch the Bieber videos you were looking for when you stumbled across Phil!

  • Hey guys does anyone knows what is that song at the bginning? or its just jamming?

  • @Hewswed Van Halen - Mean Street

  • Can anybody tell me what the intro song? Thanks

  • @Hewswed I believe it's Mean Street.

  • Hey ,this was fun to watch, not to serious and nice playing ..love the guitar!!

  • Psssh..all this negativity says one thing....practice your instrument and stop whinning....if you suck it is because you choose too.............

  • thats why wankers like this work in guitar shops and havn't made it as musicians!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its not all about speed!!!!

  • Fuck this guy has so many  haters, I'd give both my nuts and my ten foot weiner to have this job!

  • you look like billy ray cyrus bro!!!

    you even have his country accent but wid a stonned tone!!! XD

    Frickin nice playing man!!!!

    loved the tone too!!

    Keep Rockin!!!

    \m/

  • 1:03 Old School tremolo :P

  • Dude, you´re fucking crazy. Gotta love it!

  • All the haters just WISH they could play that well. I know I'm totally jealous, and if I could play "Eruption" that fast I sure as hell wouldn't have to "work" for a living!!!

  • whats the song in 0:01?

  • he likes to make the E string out of tune...

  • awesome cover, i loved the detuning of the 6th string

  • when he's screwing around with the tuning, it looks like he's having a whole lot of fun. people hating on this should really chill out

  • to all the haters. It says eruption in the title. So if you don't want to see him play eruption don't click on it.

  • Phil you always make me smile man. Your love of guitar shines through no matter what you play, I'm so jealous of your ability and your access level to somany great axes!

  • call me crazy but I prefer the Jr over all other guitars . Tone and sustain like no other. And it just feels good in my hands

  • Only one letter :O

  • straight through the tonemaster?

  • LMAO I love 1:02 where he tries to bend it again like a whammy bar and doesn't quite get it right...That look on his face is so funny!

    He still made a guitar that Green Day plays sound decent and played something awesome on it for once....

  • @DuaLeaD billie joe uses the single cut LPJs, thats a double cut. Just saying

  • wow just goes 2 show phil can play anything on anything

  • threw my guitar in frustration over this video..why?!!

  • LOL,

    Gee whiz some of these high brow posters seem to think this fellow can't just have a laugh with this guitar and fool around with some Van Halen licks. I hope guys like that don't take themselves so seriously when they play; hell I`d rather watch this guy play than some elitist who`s gunna teach me all about dynamics while keeping his face a mask of concentration. That`s not rock and roll man, lighten up!

  • How can anyone slag this video off? far too cool.

  • just shows how versatile these lil buggers are!

  • what did it feel like to watch that......?

  • you tore that thing apart!!

  • Haha, this guy is great! Very talented as well.

  • with a jr u always gotta play green day lol just vh is fine lol

  • d'aww this guitar deserves so much more than just tapping on the fretboard. we didn't get to hear the tone of the guitar! as a sales pitch it's not as good as your other demos.

  • @purklefluff ughhhhhh!! YAWNS.....

  • @frettedamericana get offf your high horse . It's a nice one but its still just a guitar . If I buy a 58 les paul and play yankee doodle and nothing but its just what I wanna do

  • @purklefluff Well, according to the title, the guitar is sold.

    So, as a sales pitch, it must've worked!

  • @purklefluff

    Yeah im pretty sure he just played pieces of eruption on a 53 year old guitar...sounded quite on point and never lost tune...i think thats about as much as you needed to see... a guitar that old performing like that? its quality. one pickup also...he could have rolled back on the tone and showed you a flat sound which im almost positive you've heard already on every other guitar...idk what exactly you were looking for in tone...sounded damn good for a 53 year old p90

  • @purklefluff

    it's not a sales pitch it has already sold it says in the title

  • @purklefluff

    hahahaha... yeah mann. The tone. I knew somebody was missing, but I think I prefer eruption..... come on.... don´t be ridiculous

  • @purklefluff shut up and enjoy the phil x show!

  • Wow, what a beast...

  • Don't mind the haters! You surely rock!

  • @gangtwanger is the kind of guy that blames the guitar when he fucks up

  • I appreciate vintage Gibson guitars (note capital V) as much as the next vintage guitar/rock lover. I think Phil's sick treatment of these lumps of wood and steel is what they're made for. GANGTWANGER doesn't get it!

  • Haha he just looks like he has so much fun!

  • That was awesome.

  • Well the man likes what he does, good for him, looks like fun.....

    great sence of humor, keep it up.......

  • i taught that lick was from zack wylde, now i realize it's from van halen

  • I really don't understand Gantwangers problem. I love watching Phils videos - he picks up a dream guitar and does what any sane person would do - play it as he see's fit. Does it really matter what face he pulls? He's playing an electric guitar not carrying out a heart by-pass operation. As soon as you plug in an electric guitar you become a wanker regardless of what you play - that's the point! You just want to have fun! Carry on Phil, excellent work!.

  • ohh....my......god......

  • Wow this guy is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Damn, Phil X is one lucky bastard. He's always playing some badass equipment at guitar shops and shitt.

  • he just fucked the shit outta eruption

  • What are the first song/riff called? :-)

  • YOU GUYS WANNA KNOW WHY ALL GUITARS IN FRETTED AMERICANA ARE SO PRICEY????? IT EASY CUZ THEY ARE PLAYED BY PHIL X as i think

  • Nice Gibson & GREAT talent on the guitar!!!

  • I don't know what amp he's playing through, I own 4 Jr's from the 50's and they all sound great thru a 70's Marshall JMP with preamp

  • Yeah!! Wahoooooooo

  • Damn sexy. And you know it.

  • Phil totally rules, awsome playing

  • i could watch frettedamericana videos ALL DAY. Fuckin' LOVE Phil almost as much as the sweet guitars they demo.

  • that was dam awesome! and hopefully and cracking up like that was just plain funny!

  • PHIL WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • This mang is too fucking funny, Ha! The faces he makes while he's messing with the tuning are priceless. I watch reviews of guitars I've no interest in just to see Phil X play. He's crazy!

  • Sorry, but it just sickens me to see a guy like him pick up a beautiful, vintage 1958 Les Paul TV Junior and play Van Halen licks while making those overstated faces. Do that with a Super-Strat. And here's an idea: Dial it down a bit, take a breath, and put some space between those notes. Dynamics is what separates the real players from the 'wankers'. Even street-racers don't use the nitrous until they really-need it. It's only for quick-boosts.

  • @gangtwanger Really ? well if you don't like what you see, then go watch someone else...stay away from our page and don't come back !

  • @frettedamericana That's just what I like, he goes crazy with any guitar, playing Led Zeppelin on an Electar, and stuff. He really gets into what he does.

  • @frettedamericana how many more of thes do u have in stock cuz im looking for a gibson les paul or les paul jr.

  • @kk5533ify please email us at info@frettedamericana com

  • @frettedamericana hey wanker,,,he is sellin guitars,not playin at woodstock or some badass concert,,,,jeez you are one imbecelic retard...maybe you should go play in traffic....or with urself

  • @frettedamericana hahahahahaha lolz keep on rockin man!!!!!!

  • @gangtwanger LOL watch something else and fk off then.

  • @gangtwanger your name should be gangtwanker, asshole, Phil is superior

  • @gangtwanger youre such an idiot!! do you no see the cleverness and enjoymet of msuic he has, hes showing you can play fucking the most famous hard rock solo ever on a little jr , its hilarious, and fucking great way to markerr

  • @gangtwanger Stfu you baser. Hes having fun. Havent you gotten one of those guitars in your hands and just wanted to have a field day with it? thats what hes doing. Its like little kid ina candy store. A really expensive one.

    Good playing Phil

  • @gangtwanger That's why you're over 20 years and is a virgin...

  • @gangtwanger Why is it that pussies always complain about speed?

  • @gangtwanger Hey ! take a look to van halen's gear ! he was using such guitars !

  • @gangtwanger dude this proves thtat Philly can nail this song with any axe.

    PS. If you don't like frettedamericana videos, you should do another video of your spidey garage guest :)

  • @gangtwanger hes just jammin the $uck out!

  • @gangtwanger really? doesnt sicken me!!! playing a song on guitar that isnt of the usual kind of music played on that guitar can help show its versatility!

    and if you think overstated faces are bad, go have a conversation with Mr Vai!

  • @gangtwanger he rockes just like avh vintage doesnt mean dont play the damn thing just means its older feel free to hang yourself

  • @gangtwanger I'll be honest, this isn't my favorite demo of his, but phil x is the FUCKIN SHIT!

  • @gangtwanger go make stupid comments on someone elses video, COCK

  • @gangtwanger fuckin old fart did somebody put something in your alpo gramps ? complain to your nurse grampa

  • @gangtwanger HOMO!!!

  • @gangtwanger Obviously written by someone who neither understands the multi-faceted nature of music and guitars, nor appreciates the sheer joy and enthusiasm that Phil X exhibits each and every time he picks up a guitar. What better way to celebrate the beauty of a vintage instrument than to play the bejesus out of it? Why does it sicken you? Are you one of those guys who just hangs it on a wall and stares? I think I know who the real "wanker" is, and it ain't Phil....

  • @gangtwanger Here's an idea: You don't like Phil's playing, piss off. I bet you never would've thought of that, you ignorant ass

  • @gangtwanger shut up, your a dumb fuck.

  • @gangtwanger You're a fucking moron :L

  • @gangtwanger He can do whatever the hell he likes on any guitar.

  • only Phil can go from Mean Street to Eruption on the fly XD

  • quiero vive

  • Loving the tuner glissando!

  • I want a beer with this guy.

  • you are to happy playing the geet

  • @SkullcandyFan2010 Look at the shadows! Especially on guitars and sheets pinned to them. Anyway, he played at least one of each guitar model in background.
