why do so many guys seem to hate him (I know your feelings Philly, don't worry!), but the dude loves playing guitar & his enthusiasum (?) just rubs off on me.

I'm going to buck the trend, I like the enthusiasm in his vids. I cant watch too many mind you as it does become too much after a while but he can entertain a crowd and he can certainly play. He is also reassuringly sloppy -I like that sometimes as I am too!

Nope, I'm in the Phil X fan club.  But it's OK, cause I'm also in the Philly Q fan club!!!

 :D

I'm not a Les Paul fan - but if I were ever to get one, P90s would be the way to go - that sounds lovely.

Mark, you're a gent!  :D


Haven't even tried to watch the clip because I have woken up with a blinding headache (no alcohol involved).  No way I could cope with Mr X this morning....

I quite like Mr X as well, I'm jealous of his job and he obviously loves what he's doing. His enthusiasm is contagious and just watching that's made me want to go and play some guitar. So see you later folks!

OK, I had a quick look - confirms my belief that a P-90 goldtop has to have a wraparound bridge.  

Awesome guitar!  The Funk #49 lesson was quite cool too.

I think the question about Phil X is this:  Is there anyone else out there doing such entertaining demos?  Like them or not, we all know who he is, who he works for and the kind of stock they carry.  As advertising he does an amazing job and I find him really entertaining and inspiring.  Remember that you don't have to like an advert for it to anchor in your mind and influence your behaviour.  In fact, some of the most effective ads have been appalling:

Not quite a '53 but Edwards do a gold top with p90s if you don't mind a TOM instead of the wraparound (Philly Q need not apply ;) ).
