C'mon, nobody praising Kris? Great interview man!
Philip Sayce has a very pleasant speaking voice.
He’s the best guitarist alive
Awesome interview Love Phillip saw him for my first time a few months ago at the Bake Potato
I love PS! Just a guy any mother's child would want to know ….
Wonderful Spirit and Artist ????????
As great of a player as Philip is, having toured for years, put out many many albums and even achieved endorsement deals with big companies, he is still very very down to earth and humble.
Phillip is a beast. Amazing player and tone.
Awesome
Philip Sayce es un genio absoluto. Uno de los músicos más infravalorados de la actualidad. Una manera de cantar y tocar con un sonido único.
I'm waiting for the day he'll make an album called "Whatever Philip Sayce"
Hoping that someday he'll see this comment haha
Love this guy and his playing and music!
Chris is an outstanding interviewer. Most excellent questions and timing. He’s just an Awesome dude and I was so impressed seeing him do this and Phillip is a really hard one. He’s spaced out and weird and can take things in unexpected directions , like when he turned it around on him and asked him how he writes songs , that could of really thrown a lot of people off but Chris handled it like a total champ. Really cool. ????
Great interview!
Phillip my GOAT, love that dude so much
Wow, great interview ????.
One of the kindest and most dedicated guys out there, never heard him say a bad word about anyone.
C'mon phillip, just tell us the bunch of money PRS is paying you to endorse it
Philip is one of the most humble and nicest guys out there in the guitar music world today.
I see Philip Sayce, I click play…as simple as that. I've had the pleasure of seeing Phil and meeting him and he is genuinely a beautiful spirit. A sweet sweet person and an UNBELIEVABLE guitarist AND vocalist. His vocals don't get the love that his playing gets. I've been fortunate enough to see many of the greatest players alive today, and no one can bend the strings all the way to the rafters like Sayce!
Philip Sayce seems like a very nice person.
I never played a silver sky , I can’t get over the head stock. Silly I Know
What a nice, polite, smart and humble dude!
This is probably the only artist I only like 1 song of (Alchemy) and I really like it a lot, but unfortunately for some reason all his other songs sounds totally different and is not really that good to be honest.
Philip is an incredible talent and such a good dude.
This man played a small venue in Belgrade and gave an absolute 100% of himself at the show. Afterwards, he stayed for taking photos and having a genuine conversation with the fans (including myself). A real beast of a musician and a real gentleman. We absolutely need people like Mr. Sayce and I hope he'll come to Serbia again. Great interview!
What if it were a whole bunch of shredders who were also grandmas?
Epic !
great????
Saw him once at concert, the man is absolute beast. Great energy
Sayce all day????
Thank you!! We need more Philip sayce
A true veteran, and boy can he squeeze those strings????????????
The most humble guitar hero around!
I totally understand what he's saying about single P90 Gibsons. I have a '65 SG Junior, and the midrange this guitar delivers is incredible. It literally barks at you. 😀
Is not my channel, is not my video but i recommend look for "PHILIP SAYCE – Stung by a Woman – Dingwalls, London 16 APRIL 2012" in youtube.
One of those amateur videos, but with good quality.
I already knew that Philip was a talented guitarist, anyone who knows anything about Jeff Healey's work knows that those people only move with first-class "gunmen" 😉 But in that video Philip surpassed my expectations, the technique, the interpretation and an energy that transcends. Philip is an artist with a capital letter.
Great man, great interview
Philip is a fantastic guitarist.
The Tone is in his Welsh Hands
Please, Philip! Can you make it possible to make em to do a re-runn of making your pick-ups again? ????
Homies vibrato makes me want to quit forever. What a crazy guitar player.
Great interview and am looking forward to seeing Philip live again in the UK next year.
Please tell phillip im going to see him in june 2026 london cant wait ticket booked.yeahhhh❤????????????????????????????????????????
