Great interview Rick! I hassled my parents from age 5 for guitar lessons after watching Southern Sons on Rage. Later in life I became an audio engineer, and one of my favourite all time mix engineers is Michael Brauer. It was great to hear from Phil about these two important influences in my life from his perspective. Thank you so much!

Thanks Rick, this was great & big thanks to Phil for being so open & honest, truly refreshing to hear. I really love Phil's playing, songwriting & singing, that State album 'Elementary' was killer & very underrated. Can't wait for Phil's album to to drop, digging the new single, classy stuff!
On another note when Phil was talking about a guitarist with the surname of Hinds referring to great guitar tone coming from the neck, this is another phenomenal & tasty player named Allen Hinds, solo & session artist & MI Instructor, he has a cool youtube channel, well worth checking out & hopefully a possible candidate for a future interview Rick?
Cheers

Great vid Rick and thanks for bringing Phil to your catalogue of vids, as Phil doesn't get enough cred for his work in the music industry... I mean he's literally worked with the who's who of Aussie music... he's an amazing talent... as for 'Burn for you' his version is a masterpiece, and I'll prove it to you how awesome his version is. Later on down the track they released a trashy version for the United States, you can listen to it on John's Anthology 3 rarities album... and sorry but it's trash, it's like a piano synth version, but it just has nothing on the acoustic guitar version of Phils... I'd love to actually hear the story as to what happened there and why they had to change it so dramatically for the United States??? While America does some great things, they seriously got it wrong with that version of 'Burn For You', even with the magic of Johns voice couldn't save that version... anyway, that's my 2 cents worth... anyway, thanks for the interview with Phil... some amazing stories there...

Great interview!
Phil's album is what I'm really enjoying at the moment; it's up on TIDAL.
Great playing and guitar tone, which comes as a refreshing relief from the typically distortion-saturated guitars (which I also love) on recordings everywhere else.
Oddly, my other fave album at present is from another Aussie, Martha Marlow. Not that they have much in common, apart from showcasing genuine talent and musical honesty. (Gotta give Martha a plug; god knows, we need more real music to be made)

I think Phil was talking about Helmut's Music on Maroondah Hwy in Ringwood, but I first became aware of his amazing talent when he was working at Fretted Instruments nearby. I bought my first guitar at Helmut's in 1986, and was served by the the recently-departed Wayne Monger, who was also a bit of a local guitar legend.

Just for anyone trying to make sense of his "Burn For You" tutorial at the end, it's not in the key of E as he says. It's in the key of B major, it just starts on the 4th that's all. So those B flats he refers to are A sharps. Nothing unusual going on when you centre all these chords and inversions around the correct key signature.

2:20 for my selfish self reference, this is amazing. For anyone else that just gets stuck!!

Took me a while but I finally made it through this marathon interview. Fantastic and insightful. I was at the first Southern Sons gig at The Grainstore, and every one for the residency after that. Miss that venue! Also remember heading down to Myer in Melbourne every day waiting for The State album to be released. Looking forward to interview #2
