This guitar and the Vox sound amaaaaazing.
Sometimes I play guitar and I think, "I am pretty fucking good at this."
Then I watch this guy, see he can play ANYTHING and I think, "I am a fucking talentless hack."
Fucker...
Man, Phil was smokin' that day, i just can't help grabbing my guitar and playing along!
Theofilos Xenidis is THE perfect name for mr.X
That first tone you played in the middle pos vox reminded me of your favorite Eagles guitar solo tone at first.
Beautiful guitar
I saw other videos of the Fender thinline and it sounded like shit... so I began to think it was a shitty guitar and maybe not worth buying. Tunrs out, those other guys were just shitty guitar players with shitty amps and tones. This thing sounds fucking amazing in the right hands.
It's Funk 49 by Joe Walsh
Wish I was a bad guitarist like Phil:)
12:56 riff was Vivian Campbell for sho
1:00 for people who dont like Tele's
Phil X should be a Harvard Professor of Rock 'n Roll.
Michael Hanson - the Felix Frankenfurter of fucking Fenders.
Agree!
This Guy could be Sammy Hagars Brother.
That's what you call being 'high on tone'.
I'll have what he's having
shockingly enough, i hear this guy is straight edge. Guess he's the only person in the world who's actually "high on life"
That D minor chord at 5:39 - Heavenly.
Every time I hear Phil X demo a type of guitar I don't own, I immediately start wanting one. DAMN YOU PHIL X!!!
Seriously though, this thing sounds amazing. It does the humbucker thing and still has plenty of Fender clarity. Must be the old-school Wide Range pickups.
That's just a Tele for you...clarity. The semi-hollow also helps it on that clean side, IMO, and taking out some of the unnecessary bass frequencies for electric guitar in a band mix---it's a mid range instrument, just add some highs and go!
Semi-hollow with humbuckers gives you strong drive sounds, but still retains clarity, and still beautiful cleans---also at loud volumes allows for the magic feedback to come in faster. I think it's the most versatile guitar, period...
I dropped the pole pieces out of the back of mine and slightly raised the ones on the front. It sounds even more oldschool now. I may add them back in on one of the pups-we’ll see. It’s a super versatile guitar.
@@neils891 i got one...i mostly play telecaster and i decided to buy the '72 thinline, natural finish too......mine is the classic vibe serie, alnico humbacker pickups, not the cunife.....oh god, the first day i played it i was dissapointed, it seemed to be an useless guitar, was about to give it back, but i finally kept it with me sayin' to myself "ok, it'll be my battle guitar"....so i was, day to day, knowin' more about the versatility, about its particular tone, its particular dynamic, its sound....jazz, gipsy jazz, raw delta blues sound (bridge pickup, awesome) funk, classic rock stuff, country......after one year i couldn't leave the guitar in its case....i tried 10's and 11's 'cause it brings 9's out of the box....it works fine with 10's (it's a bit harder than solid body teles to play, the strings become heavier in a 72 thinline, somethin' that i noticed) well, what i mean to say is that this guitar has to be the most underrated guitar ever......i think the reason why it is not much popular is because when you first play it is not what expected, you may find it useless and you don't get its magic touch....that's, at least, what happened to me.....i couldn't live without it nowadays.....a funny point about my thinline is that i changed to cunife pickups and after one month i put the alnico squier ones back on it....love it to the bone
Come back Phil X RUclips NEEDS YOU!!
John Bon Jovi doesnt think so :-)
His version of All Along the Watchtower at 6:00 is beautiful
most definetly
Yup. I'll be coming back to this one.
I'm wondering how the guy in the back on the mixer is so calm and not busting up or in awe of the stuff Phil X is doing.
HE DOESNT DO FUCKING DRUGS HE IS JUST LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
doodoo
im guessing your comment was actually for john?
rb264ag Yes
doodoo Yea I got to meet Phil X at the Anaheim NAMM Show about 3 yrs ago, seemed more serious then while demo'ing the Evil Robot amps, but perhaps just tried from his 3rd day there. He was still amazing and a lot of fun.
nothing phases engineers
I've gotta hand it to you, dude. You make these videos informative and fun, they inspire me to get playing myself. But specifically about your playing, you have a great combination of pure technique and feel. Your improvisation is great, your note selection is tasteful and your solos are melodic, not just speed-wanking. It's the way I try to play every time I pick up the guitar. No memorized licks and showing off. Just pure fun and love for the music.
Having watched a LOT of these videos I think this is one of the best sounding guitars so far!
he's kinda a joke until he starts playing.... "jaw drop"
If by “joke” you mean fricken Awesome! Then I agree...
Love this dude been watching last few days man great guy/player lol .. u really got me!!
talk about a guy that has fun playing guitar
Love this dude. The real deal and so down to earth. Not to mention his taste in music!
I'm sure people have been making the f-hole joke since they were making f-holes
God what a nice sounds,that pickups are unique,is the Wide range HB made with CuNiFe magnets,that Sound ir unreplicable cuz that material is not available at reasonable prices,the reissue dont even Sound closer,is loaded with a merely common cheap humbucker...
It might have been really badly timed, but that all along the watchtower jam was magic! wow...one of the best guitar players you have never heared of for sure!
7:15 describes basically everything I've ever played on guitar....hahaha [really crying inside]
8:51 if he had just played all minor, he would've nailed the opening riff to "No One Knows" by Queens of the Stone Age!
Phil , it's a good thing you play so well. You knew nothing about the Widerange pickups ( CuNiFe) , no longer available. Anyway I'm not slagging you, you're a great player and fun person. I did have to laugh at your ignorance of this sought after ender model. Cheers.
We have Lollar replicas that are perfect as good as the original fenders correct magnets the whole deal
Oh my... Phil X is TOE CUTTER!!!
You didn't screw it. That minor into major sounded sick as fuck.
you missed the clean tones.....
Jodeer.. La felicidad que transmite este tipo es impresionante, You are the best Phil :Dlml
A tele, seth lover pickups, a cranked ac-30, and she sells sanctuary. Best. Demo. Ever.
Haven't watched him in a while. He still sounds bad ass.
how do ppl downvote Phil X !?
Personally I dont like people who laugh at their stupid own jokes.
cocaine is a helluva drug ! lol but in all seriousness, i have the Squire version of that guitar, and i know most Squires just suck ,burrs on the frets, lousy tuning machines etc, but it plays pretty damned close to a straight up "real tele! i have noticed the tonal qualities in it but i must say it does play pretty damned good for a Squier . i think the only thing i would change on it would be the tuning machines but man other than that it is worth getting one
I put a black pickgaurd on mine and I think it looks sick. I agree with everything else you said!
Bailey Paserk lol I sold it tho or actually traded it off for another guitar
@@zebdoz333 what did you end up getting?
Bailey Paserk oh I traded it for a Ibanez acoustic and a fender acoustic which I stil have and play on my channel here on RUclips along with my Epiphone and my fav a Gretsch 5435 limited edition
Once you play WRHB's everything else (except maybe Filtertrons) just sounds dark and muddy... Seth Lover truly perfect the HB with the WRHB.
FYI Phill, the reason the WRHB sounds so unique is that it has magnetic pole-pieces (made out of CuNiFe) instead of bar magnets like regular HB's and the wider/bigger sized pup has more magnetic field around the strings. You can almost get that Strat like "boing" and "ping" on the neck or Neck/bridge combo settings and messing with the tone knobs.
Forget this ....this Cat influenced me listen to some Joe Walsh
I thought jimmy page used a tele and a supro amp for communication breakdown not a vox ac30
He did say that page used the Supro on communication breakdown, Phil just said the tone was similar
+RyanThompsonGuitarist okay thanks man!
Jimmy Page used a tele on earlier records anyway phil so dont worry dude!
wooww, that telecaster sounds soo cool *-*!! I wish have a telecaster
Seth Lover. Isn't that the guy who also invented Family guy?
+STRATMAN firdaus No thats Seth Mcfarlane.
+STRATMAN firdaus Seth Lover invented the Humbucker.
+STRATMAN firdaus Seth Lover invented humbucker (so-called PAFs). But Gretsch also made humbucker almost simultaneously
TheZooropaBaby
PAF isnt just for humbuckers. (Patent Applied For)
Mr ADHD
this guy is the best ahah
You completely missed the point. Look at fender go to their website and look at the way they price their guitars now go to any website and look at the same, way cheaper. Its the same thing here. If they can sell a number of them in lump sum for a little cheaper they'll jump at the chance. Its just cheaper cause if they're sitting in a warehouse taking up space cause they can't sell them they're gonna knock down the price.
Damn. Phil is getting difficult to watch. I'm not sure what is acting and what's real, but for the love of Pete, let's get on with it already. So much studdering and gum smacking and childish laughter that I lose interest quick. Yes, very talented. But the "space cadet" routine is wearing thin. I know I am going to get blasted by all the Phil X lovers, but I don't give a shit anymore. I know most think it, but don't want to say it.
will you guys every go back to fretted americana?? also instead of putting those panels stand behind the amps instead of in front of them. i personally wasn't vexed because something sounded off, or the guitar was being fed through the mic too i dunno i just miss frettedamericana. because it seems like here phil can demo any old guitar. its like the difference in buying frozen fruit or picking the fruit right off the tree. frettedamericana is picking it off the tree
Well, a 'Jock' as in he looks like a football player who would beat on a nerd. I wouldn't care about the way he looks if I liked the way he plays guitar - (I'm sure he is probably a nice person) it's just that image doesn't help. Just my personal opinion. Rock n roll, to me, is a voice for the oppressed, he looks like an oppressor in my view.
So I checked out your site, and see why Phil is scary to you. Phil will be filling in with Bon Jovi on tour, and you might be aloud to play at your church or the local Locust Cider Festival or something then? No doubt that you are someones hero for something that you do.
maybe you should cut down on coke, then you could stop laughing. anyway, the guitar's not low to start with. as for slash, though: he sure doesn't limit himself by wearing the guitar low - you can't slow down a parked car.
nevermind the axe iam digging that slr board a past friend was world class recording and had 6 of them n the plate from radio city music hall ny ny at his studio ooh cool gtr n amp o use all boss n house amp with 32 trk
Phil needed to prepare a bit for this guitar. He was out of it. "Its mostly hollow. Er It has some hollowness." LOL. I own a reissue 72 thinline and love it. The reissue's pickups are not as good as the originals.
Please god... do more slow blues jams to a rhythm loop. That shit was amazing to listen to.
11:20 you mean? It sounds like a part of eruption by Van Halen, played every note instead of tapping, After which he just completely goes wild! maybe you could check that out for a little bit of guidance.
I love Phil X but it looks like he had way more fun demoing in the shop. I miss Phil X singing and jamming off the chain every 2 seconds. :( Please go back to doing videos in the FrettedAmericana shop!!!
Phil! can you please play Free bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd this is the first time im ever requesting you to do a song and its a really good song with a really cool guitar parts so do it if you want
Because Musicians friend is a store Fretted Americana is a manufacturer so Musicians Friend has a limited amount of space and they want to move the product so they mark it down... or its used.
he has some seriously tasty guitars on his show...BUT can you imagine having to spend more than an hour around this chattering weirdo (or is it all a deeply annoying act)?
F-holes and porn boxes... Awesome. I have a '75 japanese copy of this very guitar - one of the lawsuit series. It's pretty good, although it might need a new neck...
When he was doing "Major!"... "Minor!"... "Major!" ... "Minor!" then slugged himself... it totally reminded me of that scene in "Chinatown" when Evelyn Mulwray was getting slapped by Jake Gittes and she was saying "My sister!... My daughter!... My sister!... My daughter!..." Anyway... just thought I'd share.
"Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown..."
What's that guy with the headphones doing in the background? Kind of weird to think he's actually working on something while a guitar is cranking right nearby.
Phil, your playing kicks ass and I love how you can do a demo so off the cuff.
Phil annoys me sometimes with his lack of knowledge about the instrument he’s playing. He has that “I don’t know how or why my hands and fingers can do what they do!” Like he started playing after a heavenly gift was bestowed upon him and it didn’t take years and years of hard work. He missed his time for rock n roll when the 80’s passed him by. Honestly I’m sure Phil is a sweet guy and he seems to be that way it would just be nicer if he could explain things a little more clear and stay focused. He’s the type of guy you could have a serious religious or political discussion with one second and the next he’s off chasing a butterfly. Either way God blesses him with a great ability to play and he’s doing just that by sharing it with as many as possible but kids if you’re reading this after watching Phil just remember, don’t do drugs. If you do, do drugs then please only in moderation and save at least half of your brain
YES! PHIL ANSWERED MY REQUEST FOR A DIMED VOX AC30! Give him your requests, he really listens!
I think the guitar sounds were better when they were recorded in the Fretted Americana store. They sound a bit dull and dry from this studio.
oh no... youtube discovered that playig ads after the video is annoying too?? FML,
anyways! great show guys!!!
WE LOVE YOU PHILLY, WE DOOOOOOO
why is everybody so caught up in looking at the backround when theres a fuckin beautiful guitar in your face the entire time? god you people >.
Finally some teles, you guys do way to few teles lately :)
Same color as my “fender” thin line.
But humbuckers?
Nope.
Cool cuz I don’t like them.
I play BLUES💪🏽
Rock & Roll sucks.
Dimed on any specific knob is at 10, in this case he probably just means the volume and/or gain.
I have owned 69 and 72 tele thinline reissues. I like the 69 for sound, but the control layout of the 72 is better. the switch in the treble position is too close to the volume control on the 69.
The difference with the overdrive pedal on the vox doesn't really come through on the vid, but the Evil Robot tone sounds wicked by itself, a little cracky with the overdrive, that's my 2 cents
hey phill!!? -Why not try some "esp? guitar´s??
your music is really cool! but even harder still is not bad either mann!!! :D
Hey! How does frettedamericana and the X man feel about doing an Dean ESP(aka)
Metal guitars??
Love the videos keep it up \,,/
this guy is hilarious. is he on coke? just curios, not judging or anything. awesome guitar
Phil, you are a fucking hero. Fuck everyone who says that you suck and everything, they've got no sense of humor!
hey Phil X, wan't whole lotta love recorded on a tele? i believe it was an off white one with a dragon on it
"you f hole!" X D
Interesting doing Joe Walsh as Funk 49 was supposedly recorded using a regular Tele and a Marshall Plexi.
What was that classical sound lead bit? was that someone else's stuff or just made up?.. i wanna learn it!
How can you not love Phil X!!!!!
beautiful all along the watchtower solo
Major? Minor? When in doubt remember, We must not major in minor things !!! I hope this helps. Ha.
I know the song too but i cant remember the name of the artist or song name for shit >_< any one know please tell its drivin me nuts
I know that Phil claims he doesn't do drugs but damn... he sure seems high and paranoid on this vid.
take note if your day job is the same as phils there is no excuse for not acting like this 24/7 !!!
entertaining and informative as always, but ya gotta lay off the double shots of red bull, dude.....
High on Coca cola! ;)
I was always thinking about that sweet point in 70s teles but it's really hard to find. this one is ok but is that the one ??
Try the new TC Electronic Ditto Looper instead of what you're using now. You'll thank me later:D
When Phil is tuning up and saids here one everyone knows what’s the band and riff he plays ?
thats a joe walsh tune,i forget the name though.good tune,one of the first songs i ever learned
great guitar. own a Mexican one myself, although for overdrive tones a les paul speaks for me.
I think Phil is hillarious. Can play too!
this guy is a riff computer
felt like being nice!! enjoy an early bird special!!
1) Pause the video
2) Press the play button
3) Repeatedly press "2" to your heart's content
You're welcome. To be more precise, it's the James Gang featuring Joe Walsh on guitar :-))
