Philip, for what it is worth, I have always admired your ability to make music with that Strat. You are a master on that instrument. It elevates your music to wonderful heights. God Bless.
Don't forget Jeff Healy and Robin Trower, Healy was Sayce's biggest influence and best friend, they're all up there smiling, laughing, and chatting, shooting the crap about which parts of their personal musical influence lended itself to which part of Philip's playing. You can tell Hendrix and Trower's usage of the univibe seriously rubbed off on Philip as Philip uses his MegaVibe pedal constantly. I do wonder if he'll ever switch over to the gypsyvibe from pedal pawn or if he'll stay with his megavibe forever. I'd get a megavibe, but i do prefer the gypsyvibe myself, and I've heard that KR the company I believe that makes or made the megavibe is incredibly difficult to near impossible to get ahold of or contact.
@joshcox4462 thanks man, it takes a cool one to know one brotha. I do my best to be fair, enjoy all musicians who've lended so much to guitar. I always be playing in that magical half step down/e flat tuning. And just self teaching the blues as I go. I love teaching myself, it's so much more of a personal journey that way.
And to know that those hands are the very exact same hands of Mr.Sayce's that's bringing such powerful but beautiful tone forth all up in your face and feels. My signed wolves are coming lp that I bought from his website. You can actually see the crease and remnants of his thumbprint where he pulled it from the unsigned stack to sign. So freaking bad ass either way. Not to mention, the wolves are coming is an amazing album. Philip just continues to grow and expand and get better and better. And it blows my mind cause I garuntee you he's easily put in two of those 10,000 hours doing something to completely master it or have full mastery of said skill. But yet he still continues to get better. Amazing, pure magic
How is that Strat still in tune after being seriously raveged? And how could somebody just be walking around the club with that happening on stage, all eyes and ears please!!He is THE guy in this genre right now.
Was the crowd actually booing him at the end of the short set??? Like I swear I've listened to this over and over and over again and I'm like 99 percent certain that the crowd was booing likely cause he played shorter than they expected cause most people that know him, specifically know how he's always in the past, played 1 to 2 hour sets with typically about 5 to 10 minutes break maximum. And just absolutely shredding his strat apart the whole time. But honestly I'd love to know if they really were booing him from someone that was actually and the show and would know for certain. Please tell me I'm mistaken and that I'm mishearing it somehow and they weren't booing but maybe wooing? Cause if they really did boo him off stage once he finished just cause it was a shorter set than average for philip, then I personally don't feel those who boo'ed him off stage deserved to even see or hear or even have philip grace the same room that they're in let alone watching such an amazing performance and reacting in a negatively poor way after getting to have the privilege to even be able to have the opportunity to see such a performance. I'm just very anxiously waiting for philip to visit Missouri so I can finally see him live myself. I think he's the best strat specific guitarist walking on the entire planet alive and breathing honestly at this moment myself. I think he's the best. Every bit as good as srv, and in few ways like pedals and effects and how to use them just right without overly relying on them to make you sound good, only to create specific tones and effects driven sounds for sure, is an example that immediately comes to my mind. I think philip blows srv out of the water with his personal innovation of using pedals and modulatory effects. The most I heard srv do was a rotary, other than that he only had a vox wah, ibanez tube screamer, and texas special Ceasar Diaz modified Dallas arbiter fuzz face. Also, I do firmly feel that Philip is a better song writer than srv. Other than that srv still is king more or less. But the crown has been passed to Philip, and in my mind, he is guitar king until it's passed on from him to whoever is going to be the next once philip retires or passes on. But yes please do let me know, we're there drunk hecklers in the crowd really actually booing him off stage. Just as a guitarist and lover of blues I find that hard to even make sense of or fathom. I'd feel blessed to be graced with even just 15 minutes of him playing live let alone 20.
You, Eric Steckel, and Jared James Nichols are the 3 best guitarist/singer/songwriters/front men of power trios that prove 3 man band are the best! You three i mentioned, on tour would be phenomenal! Come to Philly, good sir!!!
Let's not push the wagon before the horse here... woah! lol He is really really good and wordclass but not better than Clapton or his guests. He doesn't yet quite have the musicality (again, yet) of Jeff Beck, JJ Cale, Gary, or Derek, but he will be there....
Music isn't a competition. All have thier own voice on the instrument. They share the same passion and sometimes have the same heroes. No one is better!
He’s a great player he hasn’t come into his own yet but he’s getting there. I can’t hear the vocals in these video mixes and it’s all about the song really unless your doing something that hasn’t been Done sonically it hard to cut through. I grew up around antones in Austin in the 80’s and I’ve heard this before . He does it well 👍
For me this one sounds more of mostly Robin tower with two pinches each of srv and hendrix. Maybe a tiny pinch of Moore. But effects wise and songwriting wise I think philip outdoes them all. And that, that is PRECISELY what makes him the best of them all. He has always stayed true to the older genuine ways of blues electric guitar. Not to mention his voice is great for it, and suits him well in his style of guitar playing.
(I am ten minutes into this video.) What is the unique sounding effect/s he is turning on and off? I’ve been wanting some fresh new guitar inspiration and that guy is IT! I’ve never heard him or even of him before. OK, that guitar tone is fantastic by itself, but how does he get those effects? That, and his playing are both truly unique and spectacular. As many deets on that as possible would be greatly appreciated. I am phasing (Excuse the pun.) out of the “Just plug it straight in and play!/AKA Pedals? I Don’t Need No Stinking Pedals” school of thought. I don’t even know what Mick Ronson used in the Spiders From Mars-Any info on that too would be great. So is this guy from yet another planet or what?
He uses a tubescreamer, assortment of vintage wahs, fuzz, octavia pedals, an echoplex, a vintage univibe just to name a few. There are quite a few videos flaoting around where he talks about his setup and rig.
Thanks man. I will look those videos up. He’s obviously great at using effects but there’s one or combination that I’ve never heard before that I especially love. At 5:18-It sounds to me like a pitch shifter with a Univibe. Anyway, effects is one of the things he especially excels at. Hendrix was so good with them I think of him as equally as an electronic musician (Especially in tone poetry type stuff like Machine Gun and the Star Spangled Banner.) and guitarist extraordinaire.
@@subtletyandnuancerules youre right he's using the Octavia at 5:18 which is a pitch shifter, as it adds in a note an octave above the note you're playing to the original sound mix, giving it that tone.
I believe the really crazy sound that begins at 5:18 is a vintage Chicago Iron Octavia, together with blasted amps and a tubescreamer (and probably some other effects), it just creates a wall of sound
Check out his Philip Sayce Group album from 25 years ago. Unbelievable it failed to gain any traction. It’s totally different from his recent SRV type stuff. Way more grungey. And cooler for it. Guy is a genius.
Christ, this becomes boring so soon... brla-brla-trly-brla-trlyaaa-brlrrlrlaaaaa... fuck, he keeps practicing on a stage, soon he'll be worse than Vai...

WOW!!!! Jimi and Stevie are smiling up in Heaven. Gary Moore too.
Rory Gallagher as well brother.
This is exactly what I said when I first heard of him. SRV/Jimi/Gary Moore.
DEADLY combo

One of the absolute finest players on the planet! Great band too! Oh yeah……CANADIAN!
The classic throaty Strat tone brought forth with tremendous feel coming directly from Mr. Sayce's hands. The nuances are awesome.
I love that glassy cleans too ❤
And to know that those hands are the very exact same hands of Mr.Sayce's that's bringing such powerful but beautiful tone forth all up in your face and feels.

The best guitarist since the eighties. Very few players have his intensity
He knows how to pound the strings
absolute nonsense
The sweep picking run at 16:16 🤯
At this point the next album is gonna feature a prog rock thump song 🙏

😂🤣
EXCELLENT MACHINE HEADS!!!
I, too, am rough or HEAVY FINGERED on my 🎸 strings. I play with 11s or 12s
I was at this show, it was so awesome! Great footage!

You are at a different level and amazing command of your instrument than Clapton or any of his guests in his recent crossroads event!

You are a joke
Technique n control is crazy ...i live it

Killer playing own style love it much appreciated. The hat, who does it, kind? Thanks
Outstanding. Hope to get to see you live some day
Very blessed to know you and see you perform at the best dive bar west of the Mississippi haha. Show on Saturday was 🔥
Come to brazil
Really enjoyed hearing him playing some slow blues.
Großartig !!!!
I respect philph.
.has his own style n can actually sing
What an amazing talent
00:00 - Intro
00:34 - Song 1
10:22 - Morning Star
16:30 - Song 3
I think Song 3 is Hendrix's "Spanish Castle Magic."
He usually reminds me of Stevie Ray Vaughan but this one reminds me more of Eddie Hazel.
For me this one sounds more of mostly Robin tower with two pinches each of srv and hendrix. Maybe a tiny pinch of Moore. But effects wise and songwriting wise I think philip outdoes them all. And that, that is PRECISELY what makes him the best of them all. He has always stayed true to the older genuine ways of blues electric guitar.

@@chrisjames1924 what’s the album titled ?
@@benallmark9671 Philip Sayce Group. Silly name for such a great album. Also incredible to think it’s almost 25 years old.
I like how he gave that space in alchemy. Let the feel play out…
Man good stuff!
Damn It he can make that Strat sing!
U're welcome to Houston
hey,whats the name of the first song? thanks
Alchemy
This song is his Lenny
Whenever you mention Phillips name to an established guitarist, they all say “yeah, he makes me want to quit“
Τhat strat needed a cigarette after that
