THE JAM!! Phil X and Paul Jackson Jr. The Evil*Robot Interviews..Part 4

[R3yK1d]

Fuck you that was amazing i could feel that, I dont know the word to use but it's like "power"

[vhollund]

Paul@ please make a record like that just guitars but just you overdubbing

PhilX@ You are out of your element with a master like PJ

And you know it

[Georg5555]

@vhollun you cant compare them , phil is as good as him in hes element

[vhollund]

Hey is it possible to upload the video with Phil x down to half the volume

PJ is playing a lot of cool stuff that gets ruined by the mix

[NapalmBBQ]

@philx1111 really reminds me of John Scofield in the middle of this video.

[bluescrusher]

PJ Jr. The father of the west coast guitar sound. Amazing! I discovered him through Rivera Amplification, hope there are more of you doing the same with Fretted Americana.

[ThaUltimateDragon]

Just listening to this as a background track, so awesome.

[rippingrudy]

We know who the new "Guitar George" is. Chord and double-stop mania!

[fogboundturtle]

So much for promoting the Evil Robot. I call frettemericana to purchase one. They took my name/number and never called me back. Is this the customer service I am should expect from Fretteamericana ?

[noamchoco]

Woah! Their playing is so different!

[majnjord]

Next time you do a special series like this: Please, less talking, MORE PLAYING! :D

Not to be mean, but you guys clearly are more comfortable producing music than interviews, and I enjoyed this clip so much more than the others. The guys playing also speaks a lot more about the Robot's qualities. (Perfect match of Jackson Jr's clean and Phils dirty sound!!!)

[BluesRockGuitarist]

Mr. Jacksons tone is incredible. IMO Phil could have went a little less fuzzy. but it was still awesome!

[Maculification]

At 3:57 Phil started to play new riff, I know this from somewhere, or this is something very similar, but I can't recognize what is this? Can someone help? :)

[DadsBlackFinger]

@Maculification Use Me by Bill Withers

[Maculification]

@DadsBlackFinger Thanks! :D

[Enduran91]

Is it me or does the PRS seriously sound better than the Gibson? Nothing to do with their playing or the Amps.... Phil and Paul both Rocks \m/

[togbetsoup]

@Enduran91 In my opinion PRS over a Gibson of the same era any time.

[pingo775]

@togbetsoup what about a 20's gibson? Let's see your precious prs from that era.

[garnettstudios]

@Enduran91 How can you judge the sound of either of these guitars without taking into account the player or the amp? The way someone plays and the way the amp is set to react make up a huge part of the overall tone. Paul is playing much softer into a cleaner amp while Phil is playing harder into a driven amp, totally different.

[theruley]

First try phil diddnt really know what he was doing. Once he calmed down they were awesome together!

[HazardHearts]

Thumbs Up! If you Brought out your Instrument to Play Along. I know I did.

[Filomen7]

Youre both so AWESOME !

[edguitar333]

each guitarist stay in his proper style, just awsome

wee have the meetting of bluesy rock and fusion jazz.

love

[edguitar333]

amazing



[S0D41]

DAMN IT, WHICH CAMERA TO LOOK? anyways, AWESOOOMEE

[teschoen]

Normally love Phil's stuff.. but man, he needed to clean it up a bit.....Paul sounds epic... Phil... well...

[mrshaumleffel]

That' crazy, thanks for a great time. Hope to see some more...:)

[skrudnta2d]

Epic session....Very nice!! Cool to see Phil play with a different kind of player.

[ahazemy111]

um .. It's like ICE CREAM and BEER...two great things.they just don't go thogether

[guitarsbikesandpie]

@ahazemy111 not the way i use them

[MrTone910]

Phil is a tremendous player. I love his style, talent, technique, tone (not in this particular video though), musical background, personality, etc and I spend a lot of time watching his videos (+ The Drills). In this jam, however, I think Paul outshined Phil big time. I had no idea Paul was this good. I still wouldn't buy Paul's CD or go see him live because that's not the style I enjoy listening to, but he definitely stole this video.

[OriginalZach]

Thats dudes tone is amazing!!!!!

[UNDERTHEBRIDGE4]

such different styles

[scott473]

I wonder what was going threw Paul's head when he realized he was jamming with a legend.

[plorenzo102]

i loved Paul's lesson.

[2minutestomammoth]

Hey all you Phil X fans, if you like his playing as much as I do, his youtube channel is "philx1111", and you can find some awesome live stuff on "rockynashfilms".

Although, I think I want to find more Paul Jackson Jr music!

[LifeBringsMusic]

That. Was . B-e-a-utiful!

[pablo9588]

Paul Jackson Jr. you are the MAN!

[mikebrezzze]

absolutely killer, amazing music.

[MartiniusMusic]

I just love Phil's playing! He's awesome!!!

[jacobi2393]

See what Phil did here? He effortlessly adapted to Paul's style and blended with his tone and groove... half the guitarists i know would just scratch their heads and ask when it was time to drop to B and chug away with the fuzz on 10

[OMMIAMSalvation]

@jacobi2393 Amen.

[Umaiketsu]

Paul's knowledge of the fretboard is insane.

[GuitarToneFreak]

In the beginning of the video, the way Phil effortlessly inserts himself into the groove and provides backbone to what Paul is playing really shows how great of a guitar player he really is - fantastic playing from Phil and Paul.

[lexist7]

Paul Jackson's approach and understanding of harmony is amazing.

[need4speed4245]

Paul Jackson's sound = very intimate sex

[fiddlestick89]

Oh my..... I think I will quit guitar after hearing Paul Jackson..

[Benjiloutheking]

That was sex.

[gromshit101]

man paul jakcson rips

[Musicman1413]

awesome jam!!

what was the 2nd song they jammed?

[noisesoundtonevibe]

@Musicman1413 "Use Me" by Bill Withers I think.

[arva300178]

that's a nice 335

[Dascalmer]

If Phil X was playing an SG or Strat in this video it would be perfect.

[henrikmajuri]

Nice jam

[Galacto1]

I dont want to take anything away from Phil's skill but i think this jam has kind of brought a new understanding of his playing and actually the kind of person Phil is. He is just like any one else. you can see in his plying that he admires Paul. Indeed he is just like a normal dude with absolutely magical hands for guitar and the best job in the fucking world.

[flahprius]

That was killer.

[rhykko77]

Cooks a bit starting at the 9 min point .......relationships take time.

[monsterofrock01]

That last part with the lesson was way too cool! I wish I knew some local musicians with that kind of knowledge! Go Paul Jackson Jr! :)

[GuillermoSmyser]

Paul Jackson is too awesome!!!

[GuillermoSmyser]

I had forgotten that PRS did the hollow thang! It looks like such an awesome guitar but the two ideas just don't seem to go together, prs and hollow. Why can't I wrap my head around the two?! Too awesome?!

I guess I'd understand if I got a PRS solid and was more acclimated. Too many other guitars I want. Dave Weiner's PRS 7 strings are too amazing to start thinking of any other PRS's.

[GuillermoSmyser]

I missed parts 2 and 3 and only saw this one fairly late too. Maybe that was my fault. But I'm just glad y'all did this! Thanks.

[joshhohensee]

Nothing against Paul, but I just like Phil's phrasing better. I'm not a fan of the jazz type. Phil's phrasing just goes better with the rhythm. It's got more of a classical rock style to it. I also prefer Phil's tone to the uber cleans of Paul. Sounds like Phil has the tone rolled off a little bit too.

[jude924]

whats the second song they play? 3:56

[flahprius]

@jude924 "Use Me" by Bill Withers.

[jude924]

@flahprius Thank you!

[flahprius]

@jude924 No problem! Great song, and it's a great groove to jam over, as those two proved effortlessly.

[jokas96]

Jazz + Rock

[crysisgamer81]

why the hell this is video the only one being shown in my subscriptions?? there are 3 frickin other videos!!

[rhykko77]

@crysisgamer81 it is strange the way that the YOuTubE system works in some areas .

[mo28mabini]

Is Philx's guitar an Es-335? what's the exact model, what kind of burst, and is it for sale?!?! thanks.

[pandalt]

Paul is awesome, it shows the depth of his guitar skill(or talent). was totally immersed in every note Paul played and just almost falling asleep, subconsciously. A varied skill of a guitar performance, hope it inspired Phil something,

[mufc0794]

It's amazing how Paul just smokes Phil, it must have been quite a humbling experience for Phil, but also Phil's playing at the beginning feels so out of place, maybe on the second half he starts sounding better, but I would expect such a great player like Phil to play something more adequate to what Paul was playing.

[ThanasiManoli]

LOVE Phil and Paul. But of all the hundreds of Phil X vids I've seen, this is the first e v e r that I didn't like his tone. Ever! Two amazing players but I thought their tones did not compliment whatsoever :(

[Oneill9293]

@ThanasiManoli Yeah I completely agree, it sounded like really computerised/digital, something that a 15y/o metalhead would come up with after putting a boss metalzone distortion on it or something. And Phil tried too hard with his shredding, he should've just taken his own advice and let it flow.

Amazing series though, still love Phil and now I'm a fan of Paul's!

[markomars]

Awesome stuff

[Aberinkulas]

If this was a battle... Paul won. He's a freaking animal. I mean, Phil is a monster, but he's just outclassed, imho.

[TheWebsterExperience]

@Aberinkulas I don't thunk so, Phil is more a Rock N' Roll man than a Blues man, that's why Paul, who seems to be a bluesman, win that kind of battle. But if it's about RN'R, I really think Phil wins.

[ClassicShotMK3]

Are the guitar demos going to be back next week?

[jacobtheguitarfreak]

Anyone else seriously impressed with Paul's tone? I had no idea this amp was capable of those kind of cleans! Just like they said in the interview- full, fat, and with a nice chime all at the same time. Very tasty. Excellent tone aside, Paul is also an outstanding player.

[MrDrewseph]

@jacobtheguitarfreak Totally. Absolutely. I spent an hour trying to get a sweet tone like that outta my amp. Couldn't. I'm this close to ordering an Evil Robot.

[Realtoneable]

I like phil as a guitar player but a good jazz player can make me fall in love seriously!

[ZEROprojectile]

like how you guys did a little Bill Withers!

[4XLT]

awesome !!!

[JackAlberto666]

Why they don't play together and make a CD???

[ciechan85]

At last! More of Phil X!

[rogertesourinha]

vai se ferra....vcs sao mt foda...you are a fock perfect...10

[crazyboyhate1976]

paul jackson is probably thinking, " what the hell is this hippie doing???"

[Xen8]

This is amazingly inspiring wow 5 stars out of 5

[ezt123dp]

It's like jazz meets rock fusion..

[TheThepurplebird]

@ezt123dp some people call it jazz rock

[StainIessChina]

Pure Genius.

[RuroiniStenchin]

Phil's pretty outclassed here he mostly plays pentatonics, both these guys are beasts though.

[StainIessChina]

@RuroiniStenchin What Phil X are you talking about? Based on his other videos he seems to have a huge scale vocabulary but a somewhat limited chord vocabulary.

[RuroiniStenchin]

@StainIessChina

I just said he was outclassed and played mostly pentatonics in this clip, his phrasing wasn't as complex or as smooth as Paul.

I think that Phil plays by thinking about scales whereas Paul relies on a chord tone approach, giving him much more options

Not saying he's a bad player... He's an absolutely fantastic rock player, 1 billion times better than I'll ever be.

[RoboCop00]

AW HELL YEAH

[kellyisvlogging]

meh

[HummingbirdwithaHat]

Is there such thing as an Evil Robot Pocket Amp? If there is, I will buy twenty of them, just because that would be THE SHIT. My Marshall seems to be lacking that bit of scratchiness I think I'm looking for.

[cutandweld67]

Thank you fretted americanaAnd Phil and Paul I enjoyed both the interveiw and jam. Much better than TV!

[permian11]

@LukeS54 it's a 335

[battman926]

did you manufacture the evil robot yourself

[dorillo765]

Don't know if it's because I saw 250 videos of Phil, but I think he's gettin kinda repetitious... always fast and with crazy phrases, never a slow down warm overdriven solo... look at Paul, the way he plays... man, there are 3.000+ chords in every phrase ( hahaha ) , and that's fuckin awesome! Keep on rockin, Phil and keep on blowin minds, Paul, you guys are pretty awesome players and musicians.

[TaffyRaphie]

Use Me - Bill Withers. AWESOME.

[GetBackinBlack03]

Is that Phil's 335 or on loan?



[m1garandisthebest]

This is so great guys, thank you for doing this @frettedamericana

[TheDustyGuitarShow]

@frettedamericana thank you so much for putting that interview together! Two amazing musicians both very talented! And I learned two chords! YAY lol :P beginning to think Phil-X is part "flubber" (Disney film) and part "Animal" (from the Muppets) with a good shovel full of Rock God throwin' in for good measure!

[blueguitarz17]

Nice jam guys ;)

[galegregory97comcast]

THAT WAS GOOD

[DarkItachi1]

I love how phil gives a Rock riff and Paul makes this super awesome Blues Jazz stuff out of it that´s my kind of music there only should be a bit Roll in it and it would be ready to record and sell !!

[gabedom420]

paul shamlessly plugged his cd to phil and they discussed the cover picture.... did, uh, did phil give paul WE BRING THE ROCK N ROLL and talk about its cover art? eh? eh??

[RightBrainsMusic]

aaamazing chordin by Paul !

[presvis20]

Is Phil using the evil robot??? Whats wrong?/

[OzziePete1]

09:29 - 09:45 Excellent fingering technique from Phil on those scales. Something to watch & learn from.

Paul's style is more comfortable with the style of jam themes, and it is good to see Phil let Paul take some solos, vamp some chords & showcase another way to amaze people with awesomeness. Also good to see Phil have to adapt to a style that is probably not his usual gig.

[ArrJayEss]

Amazing, now I need some practice...

[MrLash1143]

@avenger4546.  I know what u mean they do t really match at all i definetly think pauls is better

[hyj1990]

At 03:39, look at Phil's face, he is like "oh wait! check this!", and the rest, as they say, is jazzness, Am I the only one amazed by his versatility or what?

[EPIGIBSONPHONE]

@frettedamericana for some reason your videos come late for me. i just got your evil robot interview part 3 and 4 today even thought part three came out last week. can you help?

[Naregnemyes]

@EPIGIBSONPHONE That's just because they uploaded it hidden from public and unhid the video today.

[frettedamericana]

@EPIGIBSONPHONE yup... sometimes i upload them as they are done in editing but they are not always live right away... usually Fridays... today I just felt really kind! so... you didn't miss anything! have a good day!

[superiansuper]

@EPIGIBSONPHONE they uploaded the vid the 10th and made it private , after a couple of days they sort it as public.

[jazzaces294]

This is sick. I would buy a cd of these guys jamming

[LilNer0]

Great Jam! Love the sound (:

[avenger4546]

First time im gonna say a such thing but .... i dont know about Phil's tone this time ! something wrong !!

[juancabmx]

yay finally! great interviews
