There are players coming up Phil that are in awe of you just like you are in awe of your heroes. That's what music does. Don't kid yourself, you BELONG in that group of legendary players.

It's not a mystery. Good things continue to come your way because you're a good person. Continued success to you, Phil.

Phil, It was a pleasure discovering you through G4, meeting you and actually jamming with you ("Rock Candy"). You made my night, and I'm sure that many of us "campers" felt the same way. Your jam room was so happening! You cultivated a well-organized, fun, inclusive environment, where players of all levels felt safe to play in front of a crowd of strangers. It almost goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway: you're a guitar player and singer of immense talent and charisma, and your repertoire is exceptionally vast.

I’m in awe that you give us a front row seat to all of these amazing moments. Thank You for bringing your infectious spirit to the rest of us.

Isn't it interesting that you are in awe of all these guitar players and having the G4 Experience like a little kid in a toy store and not feeling like, but most of us know, that you are one of these guitar players. Thank you so much for being the awesome guitar player in a normal human body talking to us like we are one of your best friends!

You are such a likeable chap!

Thanks for sharing Phil!

Thanks for the story telling, love it!!

Heavy, man. That Frampton story. Make those notes count. 👍👍💙

Thank you for sharing this. Love to hear about your experiences.

Probably the most humble guitarist out there today.

Glad you had an Awesome Time👍

I was 13 when that hit the stores/airwaves with Frampton. The two times I have seen him live over the years he always stole the show. One of the few performers that you never miss a minute of his set. What a gentleman and legend he is.

Great share from the road Phil. You guys are all badass inspirational guitar slingers. Didn’t know Frampton is having so many ailments to deal with & overcome. Lukather is a jaw dropper & Gales plays with fire. I don’t think X knows how to deliver anything under 11 ! Happy 2023 & as Bolan would say, Rock On❕

This is wonderful!!! Here's a guy who deserves to be where he is on the world stage, yet is still in awe that he found it and greatly appreciates that he found it.

Thanks Philx, love everything you said and shared here. It's true about watching youtube, you get a small taste of kind of hangin' with that person.

YOU ARE LOVED BIG TIME BROTHER!!!! You gave me the confidence to LOVE my OWN style!!! Thanks man, Joe

Been watching your vids since frettedamericana when i was 10 years old. Now playing pro. Keep it up you are an inspiration

Every since I saw you on fretted I was hooked Phil.I could not wait for fridays to come around every 2 weeks for a new Phil X video to drop. Your personality an playing are just amazing. You easily became one of my fav people an guitarist to watch, OVER an OVER. Literally! Thank you dude for just being Awesome. I really mean that..

Love.your playing. Phill x. Love. U. Your great. Love. Meet. You. Love phill x and love. Bon Jovi. U rock. My. World. ❤️❤️💋💋

You have such passion for all things guitars… and such a humble person too. Thanks for sharing.

Hanging out with you & your son at dinner the last night of G4 was super fun and playing War Pigs together later that night was EPIC! Thanks so much for hanging out and jamming with us campers, you’re an awesome guy and a killer player! Hope to see you at future camps! Take care 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

Well said. Thanks for the inspiration.

Way cool, Phil. Thanks for this. Steve Morse is one of my heros from way back in the early 80's when not many had even heard of him. I had seen articles about him in Guitar Player magazine, but first heard his music on an obscure college radio station @ Nassau Community College on Long Island. They played the whole The Introduction album & I was absolutely blown away. I met Steve on two occasions, once at a "showcase" @ Royal Music (small music store) on Sunrise Highway in Lynbrook, NY....up close & personal. Blew me away & the doors off the place...and what a cool & gracious guy, who stayed after a long time to chat with fans, photos & autographs, signed guitars. The next time was @ a small venue in Huntington, NY (name escapes me) I got him to sign my Ernie Ball Steve Morse model guitar & chatted a long time after the show. I continue to be in awe of the man, his immense talent & humility. Thanks again, Phil... you're awesome, in your own right! I can't wait to see what's in store for us with your collaboration with Michael Anthony. I'm sure a tribute to Eddie will be in the mix somewhere, somehow! RIP EVH 😢🎸💥🔥

Great share… thanks

From within the mystery there is connective history.... and souls that glow. Have a calm and relaxing day today,

Steve Lukather....1:14 .."Never hits a bad note" ... Yeah damn rite ..spot on ..💯

Dude‼️ I love that you tell us about these moments because it shows me you’re a real human being with a heart, and we get off as musicians as local musicians on your stories, because it was that way when I met you and when I tell someone about when I met you there blown away but I just want you to know that you’re right up there with Steve Lukather , Peter Frampton, and when I see you at the next show in the Chicagoland area or the Indiana area or wherever I might see you and then Marius north west I will be sure to remind you how phenomenal of a guitar player you are, and how great of a human you are and the show U give on stage is freaking amazing ❤ so thank you for all you contribute to the music world and thank you for being who you are you inspire me to be a better musician and a better person every day keep being you Philx ❤

I am 53. Been a guitar guy and gear junkie since I was 20. Everything has changed so much. The 80’s got me hooked for life. I think we are a click of a generation that were so mind blown by the times and possibilities…..I would not trade those years for anything. I know this world is like upside down backwards in so many ways. Everything changes. See what happens down the tims line.

cool of you to share this stuff!

Awesome Thanks PhilX 🎶🎶🎸☮️

Thanks for this video Phil. Sounds like it was a special experience not only for attendees but for you too. Enjoy the Deimer shows, hope to hear more on the drillbits next live chat 😊

Good job on the first party/fly on the wall narrative. Dug it!!

Glad I watched this. It is great to have heroes…even better to find out they are good people. I think it is important to show love, respect, kindness to others. We all only have a limited time to do what we love so enjoy it, stay humble, pass the torch.

Great talk, dude! Gospel truth...

You totally belong with these guys. It can't be only them, that "thing" must continue, and you totally are that. It's not just the jam, but the player that makes it work.

What makes this so amazing is that you are a fan first and foremost. Just like all of us!

That was awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! Words of wisdom form the great Phil X "Do your own thing"

That was nice... I enjoyed hearing about your experience... I know there's much more... But Pretty Cool...

Your humility is refreshing and likely is a key to your deserved success. Peace and love.

This guy is not only a great guitar player and musician, but is one of the coolest guys around, for real.

Thanks Phil!!

We need to see more of you on your KZfaq channel. These videos are great!

Something for the heart❤️👌👌👌

I have never before been so electrified, you speak from your heart. Being one these guy's which you are indeed always will you be one of my favorites. And I agree with rugnit911 we site in total awe.

🤣 It's great to hear this level of honesty and kindness. We are all human. All different but a few of us (you guys) get to show the rest of us another level. Thank you. Nobody knows everything, must be good to bounce off each other.

My favorite musician. What a great person.

Truly completely unbelievably inspiring . I've said this before Phil , thank you .

Wow thanks for sharing Very inspiring

Love hearing you talk shop! You belong up there, as you are just as inspirational! I remember seeing Steve Morse with the Dixie Dregs in the late 70's.

4:30 it’s like watching Les Paul play near the end when he could only use a few fingers due to arthritis and still conveyed so much emotion when he played.

Don't ever change Phill, you are one of the true heros. Keep it real and always have that love in your heart.

Thx for sharing this man...wishing you all the best and many more!

Well said Phil!

That was awesome. Thanks Phil.

thanks Phil!

A JOY to watch 🙂

Thx for sharing Phil!!

I’ve done G4 before. Couldn’t make this one. But what a lineup this year. Glad you enjoyed Phil!

Dude your my hero

Talk about an amazing mental photograph book you! Thank you for sharing some of the personal stories.

Sounds like such an amazing experience. Thanks for sharing!

You worked your ass off and your fingers to the bone at times, you deserve to be where you are.... And you done it your way! Great to see you enjoying it. And GL to Gage.

You need to do a Phil X Xperience. You've got all kinds of stories and chops to share. But do it in Canada!

Thank you Phil. I loved each story you told. If I happend upon Nili Brosh I would likely simply die of happiness on the spot. I'm tempted to say how very blessed you are for these experiences, but its really much more than just that. You have EARNED this, through your amazing talent and all the positive karma you put out there in the world. I know I'm not alone in saying that I'm so happy to see you where you belong...on the same stage as the best guitarists in the world, which is exactly who and what you are. Except you are possibly the most humble guitar playing genius/superstar ever. Rock on Phil!!!

A sincere and honest talk, man! Thanks!

Very cool, thanks for sharing.

Really enjoyed your commentary. Thanks for sharing. By the way, I'm sure they were in awe of you too!

Such a great video, thanks for sharing!

That is really awesome. Wish I was there to see the show. Keep rocken Phil.

Your humility is inspiring given your own considerable talent.

On the Pipe is the shizznit!! I also covered that in the past and have watched his fingers for years. Haha Would have super enjoyed being there. You rock!👍😎🎸

G4 was great! Thanks for being there for us as well!

Thanks for posting that. I miss the G3 tours that Joe put on, hope he does it again someday.

Inspiring morning talk!

Thanks for jamming with me @ G4 on ‘Ain’t talking bout love’! I really appreciate you talking time to chat with me as you came off the elevator when you heading out on Saturday ! Your Jam room really was a highlight of G4! -Jim

Thanks Phil, I really needed this right now bro.

well my keyboard is acting goofy. thank you kind sir for all you do an play.

Well spoken Phil. I've learned through my playing and others that you hear and pick up bits and pieces of other players and mix them together to make your own style. It's like throwing notes in a blender. I picked out a small part of a lead by Elvin Bishop when I first started playing and never looked back. Basically 4 notes.

I love the way your honest excitement for the music is so unmistakable. You're an inspiration.

Thanks, Phil - you rock!

Hi Phil, I remember when you joined Triumph after Rik left! It's nice to see you stoked after G4! All the best in 2023!

Keep inspiring us !!! You are awesome !

Lukather is a great guy. Down to earth!!!

Dude, you’re the reason a lot of us found joy in guitar again. Thanks for staying true to guitar!

Steve Morse interview with Rick Beato!!!

Awesome !!!

Great words of philosophical wisdom and gratitude, Phil! Putting aside your incredible talent, musicality, and disciplined, dedicated development as a player, you have always oozed heart and soul, personality and goodness, on a human level. You deserve all of the greatest that life has blessed you with. You are a multi dimensional inspiration to many, just as your heroes have been to you. I hope that I get to meet you someday, and lay down some grooves! You just made Geddy, singing Closer To The Heart, come to mind. Peace, soul brother!

Awesome share!

Amazing !

Thank you, Phil! It was about 15 years ago when I first heard/saw you, and you've been an inspiration ever since. Fair winds and following seas to all.

So freakin cool man... Now you get how we feel about you. Cheers man!

A Canadian treasure, loved him in Triumph

Phil! It’s great to see you’re running with the big dogs. They’re your peers now. So very well deserved!

Dude, I would love to meet you. Been watching your videos since way back, Powder, Flip stick and of course Fretted Americana. You're persona is a wild and crazy guy (Steve Martin voice), but this video came from Phil...just a guy walking around on this earth. Very heartfelt! Thanks for all the entertainment and education, Phil!! Keep kicking ass!!

Gales is not only a beast but he's made a total 360 in his life .

This, we need more of this. Appreciate his humility.

Μπράβο phill. Don’t know if you remember me from previous NAMM shows. The tall Greek American guy who would hang out with Alex ( RocknChippy , the guy who has groomed noodles). Great video and well spoken.
