I remember ol Rod back in the 70s. He had like 4 guitarists and that bassist with the dog house.

I love Phil Chen and I'm so happy that he didn't play bass on "Maggie May".

I've learned over the years that bassists either love it or hate it. I'm in the latter category.

Phil Chen...

My dear old friend Phil aka "Tremor" is indeed one of the warmist hearted people- amazing musicians I am blessed to know;and perform with in my life as a Los Angeles guitarist.

+1 on Phil Chen! I love his work on Jeff Beck's Blow by Blow. Pete, enjoy your tribute gig.
The "Young Turks" (Rod Stewart / Jeff Beck tribute band, out of Chi town) played a full set at our home town "Beef Days" fest last summer. The bassist was no Phil Chen, but he did a great job.......especially when he and the JB look-alike broke into "Freeway Jam":D

I have been a huge fan of Phil's work since before I knew who he was. I was fortunate enough to speak with him on the phone once and let me say he is as gracious a person as he is accomplished on bass. A real pleasure and great fun lines too!
