4th of July FIREWORKS WITH HD PHIL X ! 1964 Gibson Firebird VII 01136

[jordalt]

@gonzagrm you do realize frusciante was not with RHCP when that was recorded that was Dave Navarro

[vladdii125]

3:45 he actually sounded like Jerry...

[Reviews598]

phil should have a mic

[JoshuaVanOorschot]

8:57 what scale are you soloing in? its fantastic! you are still one of the biggest influences on my playing! you rock dude! and im getting a Firebird VII cant wait! XD check out my vids guys! my friends say they see a bit of phil X in my playing! hahaha!

[mtmusicgear]

You are ridiculous, and awesome. Thanks for the great video and guitar playing bro!

[shitfer]

The Bird just sounded mean when he was tuning it at 4:55.

[yamahabmxer1]

what's Phil's Facebook?

[gonzagrm]

you really played RHCP better than J.F did.

[shortystuff47]

@gonzagrm after listening the firebird i can say that Frusciante should have considered using one verses his strat. Everyone has their own taste but I just think it goes better with their sound. just my opinion.

[The1990norbert]

roll a castor!!!!!! eeehhhm wait a moment

[Kylef7735]

HOLYCRAP 8:10 sounds just like meet her at love parade 2001

[johnnytastetest]

1990.

[moobesornahtan]

Red Hot Chili Peppers! Whoo!

[zapwatt]

@moobesornahtan

The Ohio Players

[Zombiekeks]

Man, you can't start playing Unchained and just stop after a view chords :-(

[aektzis91]

i wonder what a firebird would sound like if someone whacked a dog-ear p90 in the bridge..

[shytownmofo]

@aektzis91

Allen Collins of Skynyrd used to play a Firebird with a P90 in the bridge. Sounded Sweet. Some vids of it from 1975 on here, IIRC. 

[LWRCftw]

I think this is the most beautiful guitar Phil has played.

[R4R45]

This guy is the best!!!

[SP1D3RMAN75]

EMG 60, 81 and 85 pickups in this beast imagine the tone

[aektzis91]

@SP1D3RMAN75 no way, active pickups don't even compare to alnico pickups they are way to sterile sounding.

[KiddiHasu]

Ok so he covered almost all my favourite bands in this! Red hot, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden! WTF I MUST GET THIS GUITAR!

[guitardude97100]

why is phil so red??? is it the camera?

[stude444]

@guitardude97100 Nope, his skin is just made of pure fire.

[MusicMan44144]

i am 100% straight,,,and if you would ask me if i want this guitar or angelina jolie i would choose this babe!!

[TheCapa612]

What are the names of the Judas Priest song and the 3rd song he plays on the firebird?

[obitobi100]

@TheCapa612 Victim of Changes by Judas Priest & the 3rd song is "Outshined" by Soundgarden

[TheCapa612]

@obitobi100 Thanks a lot.

[johnsr1972]

one of the best versions of man in a box just AWSUME

[shutup1223]

PLAY SOME NIRVANA!!

[Piitschii]

@shutup1223 at 3:12 i thought the exact same thing...

Phil, PLAY SOME NIRVANA!!

[twistedH3L1X]

Cool axe, but I find this presenter very annoying.

[nunchaku1992]

please phil, review epiphone dot, squire telecaster, and other low end guitars to make us feel secure

[TheWebsterExperience]

@nunchaku1992 These aren't vintage guitars ! FA is straight vintage, or high end and special new guitars.

[phatycolby282]

@nunchaku1992 frettedamericana is about vintage guitars, but id like to see phil play those lower end guitars, see if they can handle the abuse he puts into them haha

[PBANDSNOW]

Dear Frettedamericana:

Please tell Phil that he should totally cover “Man In The Box” on his next solo album. And he should totally use the Firebird.

[yoyomyhoes]

so i can expect mine in the mail free of charge right?

[VBSouthpaw]

Haha, man in the box was sick!! Awesome!

[EpsilonKias]

At first, I'm thinking "Phil doesn't really play all that much metal on this channel." (or any channel, and you open up with some Judas Priest. Lovely!

I'd love to hear some Sabbath sometime, or maybe if you're not adverse to tuning down, some Sleep! I always wondered how Sleep would sound on a Firebird.

[goredeathrot]

Also the block inlays.

[joaogodooy]

review a semi hollow body foo fighters style

[61rocker]

Firebirds have withstood the test in time in Rock...I have a '78 Firebird III....rock on anything I want it too.....I've played anything from old Beatles to Godsmack to Foo Fighters to The Sweet.........

[Guitarristasdel22]

you should put the name of the songs that phil plays because in every video there are some songs that I don't know and I enjoy them !!! everyone agree with me !!!!!!!

[RDVideosInc]

@Guitarristasdel22 somebody asked that on another video and frettedamericana says that they can't do that because they don't know what the songs are. Phil doesn't plan out what he plays or tell them what he played usually.

[zenzeypher]

@Guitarristasdel22

yeah I agree, sometimes I prefer Phils versions also.. :/

[PitchBlackGuitarMan]

This looks way better than the firebird x !!

[itrell49]

hey phil could u do a full guitar lesson on roller coaster

[OMMIAMSalvation]

I laughed out loud when he started playing Daughtry.

[aaroniusfalonius]

@OMMIAMSalvation He just so happens to be one of Daughtry's guitarists butthead....

[OMMIAMSalvation]

@aaroniusfalonius 1: SESSION musician. 2: doesn't make it any less funny. Lol.

[DLFimages]

I smiled through the whole video, that was fun to watch. Your fucking awesome!

[Kriegstoffel]

Hey God, it´s me again....would you please send me Phil X with this Gibson Firebrid....Thanks

[redoctober458]

Does anyone else notice how his face turns beet red whenever he sings?

[OMMIAMSalvation]

@redoctober458 Really only when he's singing high or loud.

[bladerunner12]

@redoctober458 Well he's probably singing really loud to get over the amps and be perfectly audible on camera.

[Murielhs1990]

Why don't you play Nirvana?

[jack24showrocks]

@Murielhs1990 that would be sick....

[HardAsARock222]

Damn man that shit was awesome!!!!!!!!! :D Phil just made my day.

[hfeeriyt]

Man in the box was awesome !!!!

[LarzHH]

ALICE IN CHAINS!! <3

[mindbodylightsound10]

man in the box was on point

[dgs1518]

You're my guitar hero. :)

[chronovan420]

This guy is my hero…

[fatadam16]

he should of played johnny winter

[GoHabs13]

who gives a shit about the clean, LETS ROCK!!!

[CJsoccer4]

does anyone know if the middle position on three pickup firebirds is the middle pickup alone or with the treble pickup??????

[bungmasterteddybear]

so how does the middle pickup come in with the circuit? i've heard that the middle pickup just has an independent volume to mix with the othe pickups and everything else was the same. (so 3 vol. one tone?)

let me know .

thanks much.

LONG LIVE THE FIREBIRD!!

~Andy

[CJsoccer4]

@bungmasterteddybear a matter a fact i was wondering about the exact same thing....and do you know if the middle position is the middle pickup alone? or is it like some les pauls where the middle position is the middle and treble pickup??? much thanks CJ

[dergeileandi]

this guy looks exactly like stephen lynch...

[chrissycroken]

what priest song is that ?

[SwoobGuitar]

Uhh, I love dumb Americans with guitars. Nahh you're not dumb. You're just funny.

Love to hear a dirteh Firebird.

[dr05guitar]

@tehwasabiking right you are, i meant to say outshined

[stbreal]

soundgarden!!!!! YEAH love those guys

[PlatypusVomit]

Damn, I'd do anything to play as good as he does........well, anything except the only thing that would allow me to play that well.........practice a lot.

>.<

[EPICFAILSAM]

@PlatypusVomit DUde...... c'mon face it. You gotta practice haha. Just pick it up and play what you want and you'll get better. Just do that every day haha

[andrewcy17]

@mitch6192 its outshined by soundgarden

[mitch6192]

What song is played at 05:04 plz

[23H4V0C23]

This guy is so stoned.

[Gretsch99]

@23H4V0C23

nope. not a chance.

[fmcnally]

fuck, what a voice

[bungmasterteddybear]

oh my god, that thing is absolutely stunning! Firebirds forever!

[dr05guitar]

props for playing soundgarden :)

[Guitarvirtuoso666]

How about reviewing the new firebird X? xD

[Tassel0]

@Guitarvirtuoso666 they do VINTAGE GUITARS and only what the shop has...

[Guitarvirtuoso666]

@Tassel0

You obviously didn't detect the sarcasm:p

[Tassel0]

@Tassel0 No...I didn't (foot in mouth) BTW....firebird X sucks elephant cock

[Twitboy3000]

@Guitarvirtuoso666 I already have Phil's answer, quote "It sucks!"

[AlienWorkshopSk8tr]

@Guitarvirtuoso666 ...Gibson makes me puke sometimes...

[Guitarvirtuoso666]

@AlienWorkshopSk8tr

My opinion on that guitar has changed,

I think it's a very interesting concept

remember that a lot of folks were shitting on electric guitars 50 years ago

BUT gibson makes me puke too sometimes, considering the way that they treat their workforce, and the expensiveness, and the quality that isn't always spectacular nowadays

[lskynyrd23]

@Guitarvirtuoso666 ew XD



[thestooty]

@Guitarvirtuoso666

That guitar is garbage, man. No offense meant, but jeez - The only thing I think is good about that is that 1) Gibson got wise and chambered their robot and 2) It's a maple neck... Gibson needs more maple necks on their geetars.

[Guitarvirtuoso666]

@thestooty

The guitar is garbage in the sense that it is ugly, too expensive and the effects didn't sound too good, at least not in Gibsons demoes.

I like the robot though, it is great to be able to change from standard to open g in 10 seconds, very nifty in gigging situations.

+ I believe that moddeling is the future. If you check out amplitube 3 modeling software, you'll be amazed how it feels, reacts and sounds like real tube amps:)

[NIBBass]

@Guitarvirtuoso666 No need for it, that's not a guitar....

[Sergioterol]

I did not like it overdriven... to much squeaks...

[ckfootballman]

That thing sounds to DIE FOR clean

[EPICFAILSAM]

9:07 - 9:09  Forgive me!!!!!!!

[derekbells]

i could see him as the lead singer for alice in chains

[ckfootballman]

@derekbells Alice in chains is too bad for him or at least not good enough

[derekbells]

@ckfootballman agreed

[546bananaman]

request: machine gun by jimi hendrix:)

[DaMogai]

geez how i was hoping he was gonna play alice in chains when he mentioned a song from 1990/91....great shit

[brooktz]

alice in chains no sound good on the firebird

and get a marshal amp

[MiLemonPie]

man, I'm looking for the "Cheap Sunglasses" video but I can't find it, remember which one it was?

[xthegames]

@MiLemonPie It was the 1960 melody maker.

[MiLemonPie]

@xthegames Thanks!

[guitarguyil]

fking crazy guitar!!!!!!!!!! love that guitar damit!!!

[sgogiz1]

my dream guitar

[fanum79]

Te prendi troppi caffè....

[evanbuck101]

Phil can really sing his ass off.

[Pavl0ve]

u ROCK dude , u should play BORN TO BE WILD

[TheTechnologic1]

sounds like it woulds sound good with a g chord and in the key of g

[ilr111]

beautiful neck pickup sound at 9:02

[sockerdood11]

That was some sick Alice in chains....

[LittleBigMarcus]

i want to see a firebird completely reversed liked how it shouldve been that would look pretty cool, or at least with the same body and a reversed headstock! awesome!

[theozzman67]

That guitar looks tough to play.

[keithsa41]

looks like a dinosaur to play

[chrisjeffsmusic]

looks awesome

[Hotwiredrummer]

IIIIIIMMMMM THE MAN IN THE BOX!!!! ALICE IN CHAINS!!

[TNT73BLF]

The first song I learned on Guitar back in '88. A few of us were hanging out drinking MD 20/20 and the older dude who owned the house we were at was showing a friend how to play this song. He asked if I'd like to learn, I picked up the white Cort copy of a Les Paul they were using and played that run down lick note for note, first time. I immediately found that playing guitar came easy to me and from that point on the Guitar has been my passion...Thanks Gary RIP

[Vizatrox]

what the songs does he sing? I want to listen it in original. Please help.

[TNT73BLF]

@Vizatrox Man in the Box by Alice in Chains - "It was released as a single in 1991 after being featured on the group's debut full-length album Facelift (1990)." Wiki

[JHendrixxxxx]

@Vizatrox What do you mean?

He sings all of the songs. If you mean the one starting at 8:00 then that's Rollercoaster Of Love by The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

The others were already mentioned in the comments.

[chibisven]

that guitar in white is actually my dream guitar. I LOVE those guys, even though the balance is off they sound SO good and have SO much character!

[mightymastodon1313]

please more alice in chains

[JohnsLoveBakery]

Man in the box was fucking amazing.

[andrewcy17]

whats the song at 5:04

[Gr3g87]

@andrewcy17 Soundgarden - Outshined

[uva2323]

yeah c'mon lets hear the tonemaster, that thing rocks!

[FkaViJocka]

Request: "Moby Dick" LedZep, "Aqualung" Jethrotull, "Warpigs" Black Sabbath, "Ballroom Blitz", "Think im going bald" Rush or "While my guitar gently wheeps" Beatles

[GoHabs13]

@FkaViJocka

I'd love to hear aqualung i bet phil would rock on that song.

[rockermetalhead1200]

Damn, when the Firebird is with the Tonemaster, it sounds so mean,like it wants to kick you in the F*****g ASS, especially when Phil played "Man in the Box" on it, but when it is played with vox amp, it sounds nice and conteted. So this is one BADASS GUITAR!!

[aleximo164]

grunge song??

[GUlTARlST]

Phil, you should try to play some old school Judas Priest on a Les Paul Custom next time! Glenn used to use LP Custom's and 60's SGan stdards in the old days! Rock on!

[Lounge69Act]

awesome coincedence!, this vid is from 4th of july, and the 4th of july I saw Alice in Chains live man..maybe with the time difference you even played the same song together..hahah

Cheers!

[2minutestomammoth]

UNCHAINED!!

[JacoPastor]

oh are people asking you to check out other amps? no shit.

c'mon phil, you tell this every time. if you mean it have a different one on each video not always Fender, because WE ALREADY KNOW, that "you're checking out different amps" beside tonemaster!

anyhow..you kick ass man! :)

[gardian132]

@JacoPastor Thats because they do about 10 videos each session, so they used the same amp for all the videos in that session

[JacoPastor]

@gardian132 ok, yes..but we get it that the people are asking for different amps.

[gardian132]

@JacoPastor Not everybody watches every Frettedamericana video so they might not have watched previous videos to realise that.

[heplaystheguitar]

can you guys do that blue SG-lookin thing thats up on the rack behind the white strat?

[igouroum]

im still not convinced he's not on drugs.... i want a urine test!

[2minutestomammoth]

@igouroum Phil X teaches guitar at my music camp, and believe me, he's ALWAYS like that... there's no chance he could still be alive with enough drugs to keep him on a constant high. He's just awesome

[simonphilipps]

Rollercoaster...of love...rollercoaster...hooo, hooo, hooo!

[AliceinChains8593]

ALICE IN CHAINS!!!!!!! OMG I'VE BEEN WAITING FOREVER!!!!!

I was watching this vid when it came out and then i had to pause it and go to work and just today I finished it and guess where I paused it...

Right before Man in the Box. Great.

[mtkoala]

Clean sounds amazing!

[RICHARDMedia]

Who else here prefers the sound of the Deluixe over the Tonemaster?

[shaggy1039]

@RICHARDMedia no one

[RICHARDMedia]

@shaggy1039 I must be biased ;)

[shaggy1039]

@RICHARDMedia haha. Dont get me wrong, I'd take either one.

[AncientItalianSecret]

OUTSHINED!

[zeedog14]

Phil, you should do "Down In A Hole" next time because that Man In The Box was Epic with a Captial E!!!!

[lespaulskate747]

he shoulda done some skynyrd

[sgogiz1]

@lespaulskate747 why?

[lespaulskate747]

@sgogiz1 why not?

[Freebirdhomie66]

@lespaulskate747 yew damn right i mean that IS what allen collins played

[eatmyorangemarmalade]

@lespaulskate747 fuck no...

[Metallica512021]

its only d to g on outshined man

[JMaciak19]

MAN IN THE BOX!!!! Nice.

[60thstrat]

What is that song @ 5:04 ?

[60thstrat]

@60thstrat Actually more like 5:54 ...

[101Volts]

I was GASing for a Thunderbird (Firebird Bass, for those who don't know) Now I think having a Firebird wouldn't be bad either. There's only so much money though, I might have to end up building one or both of them.

[Phil3975]

That rollercoaster of love song creeps me out ever since I saw that Urban Legends video with it... (they supposedly killed some chick and you hear her scream) Though I don't really believe it... Cause well, people scream on rollercoasters lol...

[21after2]

That Man in the Box was epic.

[JesshyCarr]

man you were KILLING ME not playing more of i'm not over by DAUGHTRY!!!

[henrytdsimmons]

Sweet home Alabama tone anyone?

6:50

[GuitarHeroPhenomSux]

@henrytdsimmons, No where near it.

[gjdud12]

6:23 thought i was getting lucky listening some VH?

[SoloEpi]

Sounds like a Gretsch and Gibson at the same time, a nice twang to the classic Gibson chrunch

[angryretardcereal]

i thought phil was going to have a hemorage during the chorus xD

[anarazi]

AWESOME ALICE IN CHAINS COVER EVER!!!

[spoonylove]

Soundgarden =====  AWESOME

bring it Phil!!

[Rasser48]

Please use the Tonemaster. It sounds sooooo cool!!!!!!!!!!
