In this excerpt from the Gibson Gear Guide Artist Greenroom, Dinesh sat down with legendary guitarist for Bon Jovi, Phil X to break down his signature double-string solo technique. If you’ve been listening to music from the mid-2000s to today, chances are you’ve heard it! Phil X’s bouzouki tuning technique is a distinctive approach that has added a unique texture to countless hits in the 2000s.
Watch as Phil X teaches us the nuanced art of double-string tuning, where strings are tuned to the same pitch but within the same nut notch, creating a fascinating metallic resonance similar to a 12-string guitar, but with a distinct edge that makes your lead guitar lines pop.
Listen as Phil recounts how this signature tuning made its way onto tracks by major artists like Daughtry and Kelly Clarkson and how he makes sure to balance the act of innovating while ensuring the uniqueness of the sound doesn’t overshadow the artist’s track!
This is the tuning you’ve heard, but never knew it! Welcome to the world of bouzouki tuning with Phil X and discover this incredible lead guitar technique has left a lasting impact on the music industry.
