@AaronFinan It is a Freiheit Hybrid Strat. The body is hand oiled Alder, highly figured quilted maple neck with a rosewood board and is loaded with Chris Kinman pickups. anyone interested in these guitars can contact Brad Freiheit directly. bradfreiheit@rogers.com
Wow... Today I discover your channel, and I am amazed with you and your band,, great covers, thats the music I like, keep going, dou you have your own songs?
Great as always, that guy should be famous. He can play any style. Any time I watch a video of Phil X I feel like playing guitar. Thank you for posting the video! when will he come to germany? The people over here will love him!!
he made his guitar sound like both stevie wonder's piano riff at the beginning of the song, and the horn section right after the chorus. fantastic guitarist :) and a very good singer too!
@MrGetalife23 It's the Ultimate Attenuator, if you dont know what one of those is i'll explain, imagine having a 100 watt valve amp, you put that sucker on 1 and it blows your house down, but its a valve amp so it sounds fudging amazing on 10, way too loud for a little bar, what that does is allows the amp to be cranked but cuts the power down going to the speakers, so you get great tone at low volumes :)
does anyone know if he's in a step-flat standard tuning? I'm trying to larn this version cause I love it plus I want a version i can play without a saxophonist and a clavinet player
whoever shot this gig, they did an amazing job. I can believe this took place in a small bar. The editio, the cuts, photography, quality of audio.... and truly these are one of the best covers of these songs I´ve heard, so..... please put it in dvd
God why i dont have hands, voice of phil ;) anyways if phil is going to hell so do I! there's no words to say how the pure rock hits my brain when phil plays at full power :D

@donnyrocker.... I am no kid and I agree it was unorthodox for that song, but music is open to interpretation and I think most pros would agree with that. SRV played it different from Stevie Wonder, but I don't think most pros have a problem with that. I am no pro, far from it, but I do play guitar and I think that if you play a song the way you feel it, it's ok in my book.
@donnyrocker1 I'm a very real guitarist and musician - and the reason I think Phil X is one of the best is because he's not like everybody else, Phil X goes CRAZEEEH!
@PhilHenrix He did in some fretted americana videos, BUT it kicks ass anyway!! that's the reason why he's a great artist... Look at hendrix or jack white: they don't play very precise, but they don't care! and they make (or made) great music..
