Phil Collen Teaches How to Play "Pour Some Sugar On Me" on Guitar 

Agree!

If you are talking about the backup vocals on the studio albums, most of that was Mutt Lang

@@fbass8657 Only on High and Dry and On Through the Night. Since Pyromaia, it's been mainly Phil and Sav

Savage also.

No kidding! For a second there, I thought maybe he's the vocals in the records. He sounds great!

Van Halen was always pretty tight as well.

Van Halen, Queen, The Who

I agree, other bands have good ones as well but Def Leppard stands out the most at least for me😆

Nobody touches Michael Anthony in Van Halen for backing vocal in my opinion

"The Leppardettes... courtesy of themselves"

he's singing is not VERY WELL, as you described it watch, i'll point it out for you 0:58 to 1:07 he sings fine now at 1:07 you can see that he struggles a little to hit that upper note now we move to this... 1:30 take a bottle on the word "bottle" hes' supposed to go HIGHER instead he goes lower to ease the tension on his voice 1:33 shake it up... this is fine.. nothing wrong here break a bubble ... is fine then 1:37 break it up again.. should be going UP but he's going down but then again.. he's not the lead vocal, so.... yeah and this is why he's backup vocals and he does his part in the harmony and he does his part well.. fair enough i'm just saying, he doesn't have an amazing voice he has a pretty good voice and it's been conditioned over 30 years, that's fair enough but i wouldn't put him in the category of Joe elliott for example

@@martinkuliza bro the original recording of the song is mostly Phil he's all the background vocals which in this particular song is more important than the lead, and why would he sing like he does live in a demonstration video where he breaks down the guitar part...

@@philipkarovski281 ok... I understand but.. it sounds like you're making excuses for him. so.. why would he sing like he does live, in demo ? Out of habit, if you sang a song for decades, you're going to sing it the way you sing it trust me, I've had singing lessons for around 3 years now, I've been singing metalica nothing else matters for 3 years now. if someone asks me to explain something about singing i'll sing a part of that song and i iwon't sing it half arsed, i'll sing it properly , EVEN THOUGH I COULD DO IT IN A DIFFERENT WAY TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR ME, the reason you do it is out of habit also.. i can tell what his voice is like by listening to it so..what you're saying doesn't change that so things like the original of the song is mostly him OK.. but he still sounds how he sounds and i can hear what he is capable of and what he's not he even said that they tune down half a step because they wouldn't be able to pull the song off in normal tuning facts are facts dude i know what you're saying and i respect it, but i can also hear what he's actually doing

@@martinkuliza yeah I agree about the half step thing but that comes with age. Maybe I think differently but I also have been singing and playing for about 5 years now and when I play shows I sing how I would normally sing and when I play to show something to someone I usually hold back on the high notes as to save my voice, so I nust assume he does that as well cause they play a show every 4 days I think. But that's just my two cents 😄

@@philipkarovski281 ok.. fair enough if you've been singing for 5 years I've been singing for around 3 years or so look.. Point 1 - Re the half step down dont' you think ..... and also given that hes' not the lead vocalist either. but.. don't you think his voice would get better and stretch with age ? Point 2. Yeah.. i understand what you're saying about holding back. Look.... maybe, Maybe you're right in saying that another theory i have is... maybe he goes low on the end of the sentence when the lead vocals goes high, Just to give it that High and Low end in the combined sound i'm not ragging on the guy also i was just saying to the other poster who said that he sang so well LOL well.. clearly me and you can hear the difference between a very very well proficient singer and Phil i'm not saying he's shit.... Credit where it's due, he's got decent control but he's not hitting the high notes, if anything he's avoiding them but again.. in his defence.. he's not the lead singer but yeah. that's my 2 cents

For me it was him, Steve, the young brothers, Randy Rhoads and slash

Who underrated him?? Point us in the direction and we'll sort him them out!

Why is it on every music video there is someone with the word "Underrated" at the ready? Def Leppard were one of the biggest bands of their era, so how is that in any way being underrated?

@cass nortom Plenty of outstanding guitarists these days, Eric Gales, Josh Smith, Greg Koch, Philip Sayce. The list goes on and on

@cass nortom Maybe you need to listen to them before jumping to conclusion that they are technical ability only.

His twin Brother..obviously then!

Impersonator

There's always one.

this isn't a guitarist,i fuck up better than this,and i don't care about money or sales.G3 was a joke with this imposter.

I'd love to hear you play. Jerk

He's straight jamming! Thanks for the songs, Def Leppard!

I want that guitar!!!!!

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 rock n roll

Radar phone?

⁠@@xxclydexx_1772. Correct. 1:00 sounds like he says “red iPhone”. It’s just a joke man.

@@coldinwisconsin2017 my bad man

Kiss gene simmons says the same thing.

Yeah but the million notes at a 100mph is fun too

@@paulwilson9281 Gene is a one note wonder though. You watch Gene Simmons play bass then watch Les Claypool play bass.

@@jakebonsai2165 i prefer melody to technique.

Phil didn't write this infamous lick, Joe did.

Exactly, quality not quantity.

He do literally great backing vocals for Joe Elliot in most of their songs

Met him twice, 1996 and 2003. He's really nice guy. I asked him for autograph and he just wanted to talk with me after that.

@@Bojan1764 Same.

He reminds me of Paul Cook for some reason

Same here.

Well, any advanced guitarist could learn the entire song just by looking at him playing it. So the close-up shots here are very useful!

@@charlyred111 Agreed, but beginner guitarists will probably a little trouble with that 😆, such as myself. But it's okay, just can't let yourself get unmotivated to learn it that way.

@@BM5556 exactly man, NEVER lose motivation, with enough practice, songs will start to get super easy.

If a guitar player of his calibre lets you see their fretboard on camera while giving a little advice on key, muted techniques etc....it's a lesson your not seeing. Take it in👍 and a tip for beginners, use the RU-vid speed adjustment. Have fun.

And I’ll just add, there is an E chord used in this song that is on the album, and it’s kinda hard to make. It comes after the single note on the G string alternating between fret 6&7 and he does exactly what I have always been doing. Just making the E chord Barre at the 7 off the A. That made me happy to see. Cause I’ve always been lazy and made the easy E. If Phil can then I for sure can. So I’ve been playing 40 years and learned something.

I saw them in '81 when Joe was 19! Pete still in the band. They were like watching a bunch of puppies let out of their pen for the first time! All energetic! Saw them again in '87. Tesla opened for them.They were awesome too! That's when the 2 bands became friends I guess?

Yep.

Carson Earnest Michael Jackson??? 😅

And to think he's not even the best guitarist in the band. Crazy....

Yep, definitely

That might have been a pentatonic scale though in the beginning.

How much ahead?

adis adis so far

I see what you did there. Haha

Fallon would agree with you.

I always heard red iPhone too🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂

That’s his signature PC-1. They go for around 3 grand, or I’d probably own one.
