1956 Fender Esquire 00606

[area52360]

@0:57 that's a darn close "woman tone" for a tele.

[186kms]

Jeff Beck did pretty well with one of these when he was in the Yardbirds…

[manbearpig937]

[stan2211stan]

Look!!! Up in the sky!!!

It's a bird, It's a plane, it's Phil X

[leadjuggler43]

thumbs up for jerking off the guitar at 0:28 - 0:31 :)

[sebsoriano19]

[chiclepicklejuarez]

[Yurividal]

@chiclepicklejuarez message in a bottle

[jagmasterstang]

what is the song at 2:14 ?

[Duroduro666]

@jagmasterstang Funk n.49

[PGROSYE02]

Oh and also where did you learn to sing?

[PGROSYE02]

Phil, you should sing some chris cornell.

[omgeveryonehasmyname]

what is the cheapest one you have

[1Doz]

Secret's pretty well out on the unison bend in the main Whole Lotta Love riff, but this is the first time I've seen anyone mention the little embellishment towards the end. It sounds to me like it's a separate part that was overdubbed separately. Jimmy Page was always up to something...

[trumusichead]

not only can he play, but can SANG!!!!!

[m2karateman]

@PeteAndJakee - not true, there is not a second PU under the pickguard. Fender didn't do that in 1956, only on some VERY early models of the Esquire.

[Cincinnatification]

That bend on the Communication Breakdown is on one of the versions on BBC Sessions

[pyro6957]

phil, i think you should do a full cover of roxanne... you rock far too much.

[Musicmanuk94]

Anyone know where i can find the bootleg versons of Communication breackdown and whole lotta love?

[geekface1872]

where is this store?

[frettedamericana]

@geekface1872 in Calabasas, CA

[ChrisVGuitarist]

[xPsuedo]

@ssqad5

protip: dragonforce songs are 79% keyboards.

[Dbunkr55]

This dude can really, really play. Just nails the tone. And he can sing! Bravo...

[SuperDsffdsf]

phil x = rock n roll

[BandaManolos]

0:25 - 0:31 pleasuring the guitar?

[TheTreborSmada]

That first Police song sounded awesome! That alone makes me want one of these guitars.

[esej1]

is there a song that he couldn't play?

[ssqad5]

@esej1 probably dragonforce

[basilmiltos]

the most vangard sound of all times i love this instrument

[ugmold]

Great Player, I like your demos, do you do youtube lessons?

[scooterg234]

[foxloner]

Fox

[dynamitesteel]

love it when phil players roxanne

[DieselMatthew]

what's the song at beginning? :)

[BOYthatROX]

phil, im ppretty sure you know how to play every good rock song....i cant keep all of that in my brain.

[uofm97]

I know these guitars became the Telecaster with the addition of the neck pickup, but that body style looks odd without it. Maybe it's because I've always seen Teles, while Esquires are kinda new to me.

[andrewcy17]

whats the song at 1:17

[RS1Comedy1Vids]

@andrewcy17

"Message In A Bottle" by The Police.

[jrwagh333333333]

@philx1111 was this whole video filmed with a clean sound? Or was there some crunch?

[CCRockit]

Dude you made my day playing the police

[wlunalovegood92]

what amplifier is that tonemaster at 2:18? where can I find a similar one?

[crazyboyhate1976]

magnatone..

[ZildjianGretsch]

@wlunalovegood92 nowhere

[jks2]

why is there a pickup selector switch while there is only one pickup?

[vibratingstring]

I just went over and listened to Funk #49 by the James and Phil has the essential spirit of that song. It's uncanny how good he gets it!

[nmiguelsimoes]

I wanna smoke the same stuff he smokes.

[fditube]

he have fun and really shows the sound of the guitar.

Lots of energy.

All rare among demos.

So, thank you

[Folsumblues92]

i love how he can just like reach into his "bag o' song covers" and match a song to a guitar man i wish i had this guys skill.

[tomohiko315]

I like his play and love that guitar.

[Haushinka234]

wow, that's one fat sounding pickup

[Keijz74]

I really like that "Whole Lotta Funk"

[Keijz74]

This would be a great guitar to play "B Movie" by The Blues Brothers.

[PatLTele]

I've just spent a good hour or so watching your vids, cheers man you're awesome

[Andy13deanguitars]

yeah man...you're a great singer aswell :)

[pistolsatdawn003]

this is so badass

[omina3]

This guys crazy! LOL :) Rock it OUT brotha!

[jalmuhs]

hey phil what kind of amp is that tonemaster? it sounds badass

[wisesatyr72]

is this guitar from the actuall year or is it reissued? Because it looks new

[Logankeller352]

its from 56 dude. and it kicks ass

[fatchickssuck9]

I don't think they made 65' reissues.

[jks2]

@fatchickssuck9 they made broadcaster reissues but probably not as good as these tone monsters

[Navarre95]

♥ zeppelin

[pepeotf45]

I want that tonemaster!!

[bellers]

@pepeotf45 think frettedamericana released a copy called the tonemonster?? sounds awesum, check ther website i rekon...p.s-im not on commission...Yet!

[frettedamericana]

@bellers hey Bellers - why aren't you gettin one of our Evil Robots as they are so awesome????

[bellers]

@frettedamericana haha put me on the spot why don't you! well i might...not heard much of them tho...il check your website...just tweeted phil btw, remind him to play sum "Reef-Give me your love" for like a strat in neck/mid position!! lol later...or electric ladyland...

[frettedamericana]

@bellers  you should listen to some of the latest videos where Phil has been playing through the Evil Robot - the amp is amazing and if you want a reference, i have a client who came here from CT and is absolutely raving about it. Email me and i'll give you his email and you can chat with him about it.

[bellers]

@frettedamericana where the hell did i get tonemonster from?!?...just got a blues junior...:S...but theres always space for another amp!

[mindlesspuppet94]

@pepeotf45

and i want his job!!

[pepeotf45]

That is a beautiful guitar before this video i didnt like this guitar at all but idk it just sounds awesome and is just such a raw guitar

[momojiro2239]

what a rockin'guy!!

[Glpdb]

phil you rock man! what a sexy guitar!

[DenSnuskigaFilmen]

his face at 1:03

[Keijz74]

If I had one and the talent required I'd use it for the intro of Victim Of Love by The Eagles. That also sound a bit like the sound after 2:14 :o)# One of my favourite Eagles songs.

[philx1111]

if i'm not mistaken, that's joe walsh too.

[Keijz74]

"Lead guitar by Don Felder, slide guitar by Joe Walsh" Wiki just whispered in my ear.

[whitestripebuzz]

my 60's airline has one pickup at the bridge and one tone nob that does exactly the same thing as this esquire. i use that tone all the time as a crazy ass fuzz tone.

[ledzeppelinzoso]

i thought jimmy played the a7 and b7 like a shuffle. LOL he's so right when zeppelin does anything its awesome even when they play other bands songs u know zep rocks. would have been awesome if he played hotdog by zep would have sounded really twangy lol

[Keijz74]

Nice Police-Caster too :o)#

[DoctorJay2012]

Dude...rock on!

[NathanJackLouttit]

hey phil u use that lil vox combo on almost every demo what makes vox particularly special? or is just whats on hand

[philx1111]

the vox ac 30 is particularly VERY special. especially mid-60's. people have been using them for superb clean tones in the studio and live for years. the thing is, when this puppy has every knob on 10, it totally rocks but it would be too darn loud for our little room. if i'm not mistaken jimmy page used marshalls live but in the studio, it was usually an ac30. wow, right??

[vibratingstring]

@philx1111

You close-mic both the AC30 and the Tonemaster for these video recordings? What mic--is it a condenser or what?

[frettedamericana]

yes sir!

the Mic is a SM7B

[vibratingstring]

Thanks very much!

[JohnnyCashFan200]

I Afew Hours I am Getting a new Fender Squire Bullet Sunburst 129 dollars is that a good deal

[philx1111]

actually not a condenser

[thesilverfox]

Yeah ! Led Zephil ;°)

[peaceout231]

@thesilverfox phil zeppelin:)

[lollox95]

phil for president

fantastic guitar and fantastic guitarist

[Keijz74]

And your "Communication Breakdown" always puts a smile on my face.

[Keijz74]

I really like your "ZZ Top" Tone after 2:14. Sounds really dirty.

[machinsky108]

dude as you were doing funk 49 i was thinking of this one led zeppelin song..

and then you started playing dazed and confused!!

nice !

[machinsky108]

my bad- communication breakdown

[NathanJackLouttit]

oh my thats pretty

[19stardust]

no phil - it´s cool anyway ;-)
