  • @nilymusic no this is the guitar the Classic Vibe was modeled after, and actually classic

  • whats that lick at 2:50. this twanky country ... thing^^

  • I learned a lot about guitars from Phil-X

  • Is there an OD besides the bad monkey you can use? Its such a tone sucker, and something a little more transparent would really help these demos. Like a Klon Centaur or something.

  • When you get all squinty eyed, are you reading a cue card or something?

  • @okamasphere Basically all the specifications are on a card, as well as some little notes about the guitar, like the year and anything rare to mention. I have a feeling phil cant remember stuff like that, LOL

  • Thank you so much for the Black Crowes tune, they're one of my favorite bands!

  • John 5 would love that

  • @doomsayer54 he loves dicks

  • BLACK PICKGUARD MOTHAFCUKA!

  • val kilmer's son

  • @nilymusic no

  • @nilymusic no this is a 1954 tele there is a difference of about 100,000 dollars and 55 years lol

  • this guitar is sexy!

  • 3:00 Playing country, makes Phil X look like a sad panda.

  • what guitar is dat red one? like an SG telecaster

    

  • @soggyblunts420 fender duo sonic

  • @mrciaran96 thnx bro

    

  • @soggyblunts420 its a fender mustang

  • My favourite tuning is E-Flat, I like it because it has a deeper sound and when I put a but of OD on my guitar it sounds amazing!

  • @JordansGuitarCovers It's deeper because it's a lower tuning. Not hard to figure out lol

  • could u play something beatles!

  • I feel like Phil X has helped me improve my playing drastically simply by having these reviews.

  • @superstriker00 I feel the same

  • I wanna be Phil X when I grow up.

  • @intooblv doesnt everyone???

    

  • I was wondering if you had a cover of remedy in one of your videos. I click on this one randomly on your channel and :O coincidence much?

  • when my shit head bass player fucked up and my key board players bass top broken i had to play bass and rytame at the same time on my tele

  • teles are fucking awesoome!!!

  • damn thats sexy

  • @braclo93...that red guitar with the two black pickups is a 1957(?) Fender Duosonic that was actually featured in another review clip. It was sold to a Japanese collector, who asked that before they ship the guitar to him to have Phil do a review on it.

  • Loved the Black Crowes cover!

  • Hye! Whatis the song of the intro called?¿ thank´s :)

  • @1234rastas It's a song by Phil X's band The Drills, called "You're Not Happy Til I'm Not Happy".

  • What kind of strings does Mr. X use?

  • HOw do you find guitars in such fine conditions ??

  • @EnragedSlash I'm pretty sure he means that guitar to the left of Phil. It sure looks like a strat with two pickups to me too.

  • ily

    

  • great to see phil jammin with a kick aśs guitarist -- himself!!

  • PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

    Do that red SG with two P 90 ( left to Phil on the stand)

  • The condition is unbelieveable, are you sure this isnt a reissue?

  • I too am interested in the two pickup strat behid the x man. I been meaning to request a demo for some time now....please?

  • Dude, you gotta do that 2 pickup strat!!

  • @ToddeeTheTeleMan i'm pretty sure that's not a strat, maybe a duosonic or something named like that! I'm not a fender guy :)

  • @EnragedSlash Oh yeah, probably. Sure looks like a strat though

  • Dude youre The Man ! Keep on Rocking !

  • im not gonna lie but people need to stop bumming dimebag darrel. music stretches further than dimebag darrel, no discredit to him but stop being ignorant and accept that all musicians gary moore dimebag or whoever are all good at what they do otherwise they wouldnt be doing it

  • everytime i play guitar, im like 'damn, im pretty ok.' i watch phil x and im like "damn, i suck...."

  • @AlienWorkshopSk8tr  wow i feel the exact same way

  • Phil, you gotta do that 2 pick up strat!!!

  • SUHWEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!

  • Could you play some Jeff Beck?

  • Wow, I sure was schocked when the video loaded up and i see phil x holding this tele.

    The exact same tele i have on my lap right now.

    Well it's not from the 50's that's for sure but the colors and all the features are identical.

    I'm just going to shut up now and watch the damn video!

  • That's cool about the Skype thing !! When's that gonna happen !?

  • You should release a DVD or something!

  • Now everytime I press the LIKE button before watching it ^_~

  • Pregunta... Cuando se refieren a una guitarra Fender Telecaster 1954 es porque fue fabricada en ese año ? o es que ocupan los mismos materiales de ese año y hacen la guitarra?

  • and you get..... not quite

  • Best job ever. Play guitars all day, fake laugh every now and again, and then party all night in some forgettable bands. Phil X livin' the life.

  • I'm sure they'll pay tribute to Gary. It takes them a while to make these vids, edit, and then they put them up on YouTube and they don't make them public for a certain amount of time.

  • 1:44 :D

  • To those people who say they never did a tribute to xyz why should they do one for Gary Moore, show some respect he has only passed away recently, why would anyone who knows great players not?

  • SHOW US THAT STRAT WIT ONLY TWO PICKUPS!!

  • @sahlertz8 Where do you see this

  • gary moore tribute....

  • I attended a Steve Howe guitar clinic and the electric he brought was a '54 Tele. During the Q&A someone asked about the guitar. Steve was so casual in his response, "Oh that, it's '54". But there was the most audible collective and reverent sigh emitted from the crowd I ever heard in my life. I sighed too even though to be honest I don't like Tele's at all. But it being such a revered classic I couldn't help myself.

  • Any blond fender with a black pickguard is sexy as hell

  • the looping on remedy really was sweet! i'm a bit of a loop fan myself and love seeing what phil does on his videos.

  • hey man,can you review the natural coloured les paul ...the 5th les paul,starting to count from the stratocaster?..in the right side of the screen...@ 4:14

    i have a feeling that it'll sound incredible...

    thank you....hope you'll see my request

    keep on rockin dude! you're awesome

  • @TheRuobi I second that request!!!

  • i want to hear that natural strat with only the 2 pickups, bridge and the not quite neck pickup

  • @hsvdt me too!! I asked for that on the last vid...no answer yet, but I bet it sounds mega!

  • Thanks for the new video

  • I really want to buy a tele... and i see vids like this and i really want to buy a tele, but then i realize im not the one playing like this...  and it just makes me want to give up

  • Comment removed

  • What is that Black Beauty LP with the Maple fret board, Top Right 6:37? Am I seeing that wrong?

  • BROWN SUGAR!!!

  • Man, this makes me want to buy a Classic Vibe Tele!

  • holy shit u have to review that red mustang

  • Please dig out a decent Les Paul and remember Gary Moore. If you do nothing else please please please do something to pay tribute to a true guitar hero.

  • @scosystems I've already requested it on the day he passed, he answered that there wouldn't be new videos for 2 month :(

  • @scosystems why should they do that? They haven't done anything to honor Dimebag Darrell.

  • @LWRCftw- Dimebag Darrell died fucking years ago.  Jesus, Moore died this week. Have some respect.

  • @superlou1s The fact that your using the word "fucking" while talking about death isint very respectfull. Exactly dimebag was killed years ago and fretted americana/phil x still havent done a tribute to him

  • @DrSlayer666 maybe because the stuff they release is staggered. how can they pay tribute in a video weeks/months old?

  • @DrSlayer666- Get your panties out of that knot. Dimebag Darrell was a famous metal guitarist, yeah, but guess what, there have been hundreds of guitarists much more famous that have died and have not got a "memorial" service from fretted americana. They aren't the goddamn rock n roll hall of fame.  They did a tribute for moore because he died recently, when they were making videos. If darrell had died last week maybe, but it's old news pal, and his name's been raped by dean already.

  • @superlou1s I Love the fact that you keep using the word "famous"

    fame has nothing to do with talent personally i think that dimebag was a guitar god there is no reason for them not to do a tribute.

    Justin bieber is famous and a singer. So if were going on your principle if he died because hes more famous than someone like Phil Anselmo he would deserve a tribute more ? i think not

  • @DrSlayer666- You don't understand what I'm saying. They don't fucking do tributes.  That's not their goal. They gave a tribute to Gary Moore because his death was so recent, with the news breaking probably right in the middle of editing one of these videos. If they had to give tribute to every fucking guitar god out there, they wouldn't get anything done. They are selling guitars and providing some entertainment, not pandering to whatever the fuck you want to see.

  • @superlou1s They actually don't film this when they upload them, they do it many weeks before, dude.

  • @fjrsm- Exactly what I said.

  • @superlou1s Have some respect for Moore asshole, the fact that Dimebag died earlier doesn't make either of them any less dead, and they're both brilliant guitar players

  • @StainIessChina- You responded to me. I think you wanted to respond to LWRCtfw.

  • @LWRCftw Because Dimebag Darrell died like 8 years ago. 

  • @playingwithshotguns no, he died in December 2004.

  • @LWRCftw Well, whatever.. They obviously weren't making videos in December 2004. I know Gary Moore's death has been inflated so much, but they did a Dio tribute, so why not?

  • what is the song at 4:55? thx

  • call dibbs on skyping with phil first!!!!

  • Another great demo from the team @ frettedamericana. Thanks

  • what is the name of the song at 4:53? Thanks.

  • @superskwrl remedy by the black crowes

  • AHHHH Why couldn't I bring my guitars to college??? This sucks. I'm going into withdrawal here!!!!

  • what is the song at 5:00 ?

    Thnks

  • @mikill11 remedy - black crowes

  • I want to skype with Phil X!!!! That'd be amazing.

    Maybe he'll teach me his secrets?!

  • this makes me wanna pick up a guitar.good stuff.

  • pleas review that natural finish strat with only two pickups :)

  • Who's cooler than Phil X?

  • whats that black les paul with the maple fretboard?

  • Remedy was great

    Thanks Phil

  • hey. my birthday is in 3 weeks can u guys give me this as a present?

  • You should move the specs of the guitar that he has to read closer so he doesnt have to squint every time haha

  • Phil, please make a tribute video to Gary Moore. Thanks

  • Come and get it?

    does that mean that the first of us who reaches the shop get's this guitar for free?:D

  • Hey phil, I dug those Black Crowes lyrics man! LOL........Keep rockin' man!

  • i would love to see that butterscotch strat in the back ground

  • 5:33 that's what i call some sweet jammin with yourself :p

  • I wish you were my dad !!

  • 1:44 best part of any video. ever also, more Les Pauls and SGs

  • 1:44 best part of any video. ever

  • 1 of these times he needs to loop threw the ac30 and solo threw the EVIL ROBOT!!!

  • Re: Tone roll off pos. for neck pickup. Phil is right about it trying to replicate a bass line, this was original wiring for Teles before the first of the P-Basses in 54. Also useful for 'tic tac' bass lines when the full scale basses were used.

  • Really enjoyed this video. Lots of shredding. Always nice. I would possibly sell my soul for that guitar....if that would be enough for it

  • Single ply pickguards ftw

  • Bad Monkey = SUCH A STEAL

    in a good way

  • Makes my week complete. Thanks Phil for all the cool videos!

  • how did you loop the rhythm part when you were playing Remedy

  • have you got any acoustics on the way??

  • well first thing Id do to that tele is upgrade that thang with some humbugglies pups and one of them new fangled floydrose wanker bars...and carve out between the fretts like Wingley Malpstern does....=p

    Just kidding, that old T is awsome. Looks like it sat in the case under someones bed for the past 56 years. Practically a museum peice.

  • stlil waiting for phil to play some qotsa. everyone knows they want mr x to play some queens ;-)

  • phil demo that 2-PU strat right behind you

  • Remedy. Great choice Phil!

  • nice

  • That's a hot blonde you got there...

  • Crazy! I have a 52 reissue. And when I bought it... my friend ( a guitar shop owner) told me the same thing about the electronics in the early telecasters. And the FIRST jam I went to when I was demoing the guitar before I bought it, the bass player was late!!! so what did I do??? I did what phil said.. flipped it in the from position and played bass for a half hour. no one knew what was going on for the whoie first tune!!

  • These videos never show up in my subscription box :(

  • Hey Phil, wich settings do you use for the bad monkey?

    Great video!

  • Nice, black pickguard

  • I bet Phil gets so many chicks, I mean, I'm a guy and his guitar playing turns me on!

    8======D

  • Our boy philly x sure does love some American Woman solo HAHAH

  • I love that SONG!!!!!

  • PHil how can i add you on skype for jam sessions!

  • how does anybody dislike this..

  • That guitar is THICK!!!!

  • Phil X fucking ROCKS! Been watching him for about half a year or something and I'm lovin' this guy :D

  • that guitar is tight

  • I steal so much from his licks I kind of feel embarassed.

  • If you could play that Gibson SG with the p90s in a video, I'd love you guys forever!!!

  • what's the name of that fast lick he played @ 2:56?

  • i Think Fretted Americana Should give a guitar to phil for free. not saying you should give him like a 59 Les Paul , But Just A Little Kind Of Thanks for making such awesome videos and changing quite a lot of young guitar players (like myself) views on how they could be a really amazing musician.

    -Brandon , UK

  • Jeeeezus........ PhilX on Remedy is just.........STOOOPID good!.. I mean - STOOOOOPID. It doesn't even make SENSE how good he is.

  • 1:37!

    Sounds like the beginning of "This Boy" by The Beatles!

  • do some chili peppers :D

  • Do you plan on doing a demonstrating the Alembic guitar there in the front?

  • I want to buy every guitar there just cuz Phil X touched them.

  • there is a really mad ass fender strat signed by Richie Sambora In the Backround :D

  • damn man these new videos take a long ass time to load :l but its well worth the wait i guess. 

  • play some hammerfall or iced earth in that e flat there yep.

  • Hey, Les Paul with maple fretboard please.

  • do a gibson j200 review!

  • PLEASE DO THE DUO!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • And the looper jammythingy was Fuckin SPECTACULAR.

  • That looks like some pretty heavy strings man. 12s?

  • @ladyPlule Pretty positive fretted americana use super slinky 11 48's

  • You should do Hard to Handle by The Black Crowes.

  • Phil X is such a great guitar player! I'm from the UK and seeing your videos partly inspired me to pick up a guitar, and I'm loving it (although I haven't quite got on to electric yet!). Loving the guitars, and how many guitar licks do you know? You've got about 100 videos and you play a different guitar lick in each video, it's amazing!

  • BEAUTIFUL!!! I love the old Teles! And that looper bit may very well Be Phil's use of it yet. I mean, the use of it in the Byrdland video was great, but here it was PHENOMENAL!

  • please demo that guitar in the top left corner at 6:42. through neck am i right?

  • Keep it coming dude. Best entertainment on u tube!!

  • please demo that alembic guitar on the left. it's there every vid and everytime I see it I just wanna hear it so bad.
