I think Phil bypasses the brain when he plays. I believe he plays straight from the Heart. The Holy Spirit helps him in every way. Thanks be to God for such wondrous songs and musicianship.
Most amazingly he is as humble as he is talented. Arguably the top 5 guitarists on the planet today. But no one walks in humility and grace like Keaggy.
I dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my account password. I love any assistance you can give me
@Van Marley Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Hello everyone! Thank you for the kind words. This clip came from a school project at MTSU (Middle Tennessee State University). We were tasked with orchestrating a live concert with Phil and I directed and was one of many editors on the final DVD. Unfortunately, at this moment the DVD is only for the students, faculty, and Phil. I wish that Phil would distribute it because as you know he is an amazing musician. Again, thanks for watching and for the kind words.
I can only unhinge my jaw, shake my head in total amazement, and grope around for some superlatives that will come close to describing the genius of this man. And more than a lot of other extremely talented technical guitar players, the one thing that sets Phil Keaggy apart is, the JOY he puts into his music. He's having a much fun as WE are!
Will I ever be able to watch you without crying?!?!?! My brother Eric passed away this year. You Phil were his favorite artist, and I inherited all your cd's. I love you too, shook your hand once. Your music means so much to me. But Im in that ocean of Heartbreak right now, cant get past it. I lost my best buddy. I wish I could meet you so my life would leap forward
So sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the pain you're feeling, but I can offer the lyrics to a song of Phil's that has helped me through immense loss: "When suffering restores us, burns away the empty shallowness, and softening the heart to be broken bread and poured out wine." Though we may not fully understand suffering on this side of eternity, we can take comfort in knowing that God is using every circumstance and every aching of our hearts to bring His will into fruition.
Phil is just such a fantastic talent. Been a fan of his since 1977. I can only imagine what his song "What A Day" will sound like using the heavenly guitars God will give him up in Heaven.
So much content in this man's music, in his playing. Feeling and technique married together like never before IMO. I'm a classic non believer but If Phil says it's God who gave him this gift, then there must be a God.
Phil. we used to go to the same church in Freeville, NY.. My husband and I remember with great fondness what you brought to that, and it is a delight to see what you have done through the years.
I am always totally amazed at your creativity, spontaneity, energy, passion... I love listening to him ever since the day a when working in the woods for a tree service in 1980 a coworker hung a cassette player on a limb and hit play to his What a Day tape! He has always been so kind and patient every time I brought another guitar to one of his concerts to sign. One recent time was in a North Hills church near Pittsburgh, PA. Roger Rummer and I picked Phil and Bernadette up at the airport. He played my hand made acoustic, from the Travis City Guitar Company, then graciously signed it. Even at 59 I was like a kid in a candy store all giddy inside. His music is amazing but your lyrics touch the soul. Blessings, Brian
been watching Phil back to the Glass Harp at the Agora, late 60s... he was amazing back then and never stopped growing. Sat in the front row a seat or two away, front row-center at what I think was the Allen Theater back in Cleveland as well; for Andres Segovia...my memory is fading but will always remember being in awe of Phil and considering giving up guitar but he pushed me to better
Wow! Words grow with this amazing music flow! My soul hears the gospel anew! A spark of light enters, a never ending stream of hope! My heart is deceiving, you word never fails!
Absolutely fantastic and delightful work Mr. Keaggy! Giving glory to the only God for the talent He gave you! Heck yeah! That's how a true believer roles. Won't be too long before our heads role for loyalty to Jesus Christ, but as the song says: "True believers, stand on every word You say" Amen and amen! God bless you Mr. Keaggy!
You're very inspirational Phil. Definitely one of my Guitar🎸 Heroes, and an example of a good Christian man. I'm definitely increasing attention to detail being intentional Becoming a better player myself. Worship🙌🏼 doesn't always require words🙌🏼
So nice to see Phil Jam again one can never get too much of The Phlip Side !!! Now HE has that Axeful Gallup on His Amp.Love Ya Mr. Keaggy You inspire me to play better each day, Thank You God for Philing Us Up ☝.
I've seen phil in concert dozens of times since the 70s both with bands and without. His acoustic solo work with the looping makes it so he doesn't even need a band. You would think you would get bored listening to an acoustic guitar for two hours but not with Phil. He makes every song unique and mind blowing. Sometimes I cry listening to him and how the lord has used him so. He is truly one of the best ever because of his versatility and humbleness to boot. His drummer from glass harp is also very humble he asked me once how did I sound? I had to laugh. He's also one of the best rock drummers in the world asking an amateur compared to him how he sounded.
I saw Phil play in Shreveport Louisiana at Byrd High School in the 80s. He passed the hat. I was a huge fan before then, and I have kept up with his work my entire life. But this work is completely phenomenal. Not many artists continue to not only be relevant but create fresh new work throughout their life time. Phil definitely gives credence to the old Hendrix urban legend accredited to him. I could go on and on you know. :)
Do I like it? nah..... I LOVE IT....of course!! Bless you Brother Phil for all these years it's a true inspiration, uplifting and encouraging for us players out here in UA-cam land
Nice stuff Phil. I still talk about our jam in my office at the radio station in Fairbanks, AK. before I moved to So Cal. Its been a pleasure listening to you all these years.
Phil's not as well known because 1) he's long been promoted primarily as a Christian artist, and 2) he's not just a singer of songs, but a phenomenal musician in an era when less and less music buyers appreciate such skills. Youth of today identify with singers, image, and lyric driven pop-schlock. Instrumentalist just don't get the attention they once commanded - and I do realize Phil is a good singer as well. Also, and I know this may sound controversial or sexist (not meant to be), but MOSTLY (yet certainly not by any means total), instrumentalists are more appreciated by men - especially when it comes to guitarists.
Never thought of that on instrumentalists but I think you might be right. I went to yoga last night and I'm the only male (dreadful), as usual. Now, the women all ooh and aww as Chicago, and a bunch of other junk bands are played that most males would not even consider bands. IF I ever get to run a Yoga class you can be assured there will be Keaggy songs in there, and other instrumentals.
My Lord, this is just... Very very very beautiful voice, beautiful playing, beautiful sound, beautiful all! I don't have words to express how beautiful and amazing is this! :D Watching this video, seeing Phil playing and singing make me have more strenth to practice and improve using the talent that God gave to me! Glórias a Deus! ^^
After seeing Phil over the years, as I leave the venues, I've always had a strong urge to either 1) practice until my fingers fall off, or 2) give up entirely, because I am never going to be that good!
I am a late arrival on this wonderful page. I saw Keaggy was being reacted to and had to check it out. I love the react as you go approach. To me this is a more pure approach .
My new favourite version of Legacy! Not a fan of the religious stuff but his instrumental work's always blown me away. At least he's a decent singer. ;-)
Eddie Van Halen and Ted Nugent have both gone on record mentioning Phil as possibly the greatest guitarist in the world. Big words coming from BIG GUITARISTS.
You know, the person who is most annoyed by these "urban legends" is Phil. He'll flat out tell you that none of these artists, especially Jimmie Hendrix never said this. He doesn't play for the glory of men, he plays for the glory of God. And quite frankly, even if they did say it, Phil doesn't care. You just gotta know Phil to understand. Yes I have talked to him. Quiet, humble and very disarming.
The Nugent story is true, although what he said was "Whatever happened to Phil Keaggy? he could have saved the world with his guitar." While Phil does not reference what was said, he does refer to something being said. www.thedailytimes.com/entertainment/christian-guitar-virtuoso-phil-keaggy-lives-a-blessed-life/article_a80fb451-206c-538b-8bd1-2d9977300b5e.html
Saw Mr. Keaggy when I was about 12 before I even knew who he was. Just him on acoustic with a looper. Bought Master and The Musician on Vinyl afterwards without a clue to what it was. My first experience with CCM. Pretty much all downhill after than. ;)
If women gave back the beauty and melody the guitar does, then that might indeed be true but with statements like yours all you do is re-enforce the erring view that men are to serve and worship their wives no matter what treatment they receive in return. In other words and to propagate the furthered use of a wise saying " it takes two to tango my friend." Also just like there are quality made guitars, such as the one Phil is rocking in this video, not every woman is able to command the interest in them, or even deserve such interest, that superior quality instruments inspire. In other words, there are crappy guitars made for cheap to be offered to the masses for general consumption and there are beyond belief guitars made only for those who can afford them and who can tell that it has been crafted well and the work they put into learning that instrument will payoff in great songs and cause the owner happiness, bliss, and inspire them to push themselves beyond what even they themselves thought they could achieve. Find a woman that can do that and she'll command such interest in her as that guitar does to Phil.
And people want to deny God exists. Yeah right! God created this man.
I am a guitarist and gee wizz 25 years later this man of God blows my mind.
I think Phil bypasses the brain when he plays. I believe he plays straight from the Heart. The Holy Spirit helps him in every way. Thanks be to God for such wondrous songs and musicianship.
Amen to that!
Amazed as always and such a joy to listen to. Such a gift to hear "Sounds" and share them with so many others to the glory of God!!!
Most amazingly he is as humble as he is talented. Arguably the top 5 guitarists on the planet today. But no one walks in humility and grace like Keaggy.
+gipperdm Amen to that.
Yes he is

Could go nicely as a companion to Live From Kegworth Studio. Maybe a CD/DVD combo?
What a cool project!
Hope that Phil reconsider making this project available on Blu-Ray or DVD...he does some amazing releases on Phil Keaggy Bandcamp site too!
This guy is one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Got to be top 3 out of 10000s of great musicians

I'm 66 yrs young and still love and listen to PK.

My brothers took me to Love Inn while Phil was attending there. I was pretty young but I sure remember. Early 70's

What joy he puts into his music! Truly an inspiration! Thank you Lord for revealing yourself through his playing!
Man, Phil is a true Virtuoso in his own right. God bless you Phil as you continue to lift up His name.
Love this! Phil is the man,
Love this man since I was first introduce when I was 17 (39 years ago). Thank you Lord.
His music has blown me away. I can only say wow, first song is amazing,amazing. This man is really a true artist.
excellent music! a beautiful sounding guitar.
nice cameo of "Reunion" one of my favorite songs :D
Thanks. I really needed this right now, more than I knew. Good ol' Phil.....always able to help you reconnect with the Father at a moment's notice.
God has a smile here, you served as a testimony to ME.
Man Phil, that was great!!!!💞🕊✝🇺🇸
Nice stuff Phil. I still talk about our jam in my office at the radio station in Fairbanks, AK. before I moved to So Cal. Its been a pleasure listening to you all these years.
Amazing guy! Very friendly and humble. It was great fun meeting him in Mentor, Ohio last week The Glass Harp show and Phil's playing is a must see.
Phil, thanks for so much good music.
One word: MAJESTIC.
he does justice for the Olson guitar, sound from heaven!

Great playing and I really dig his voice as well.
Absolutely aweseome!!!! Great playing, great guy!!!!
Just a little video of Phil practicing at home. >mind blown
Superb sonics, voice over and note selections...
My Lord, this is just... Very very very beautiful voice, beautiful playing, beautiful sound, beautiful all!

Youve made my day .beautiful playing you are a special man.
OUTSTANDING!
Best 9 fingered guitarist ever!

Beautiful music.
Phil is incredible

SOUNDS SO GOOD PHIL :D YOUR VOCAL & GUITAR is AMAZING on this TAKE of TRUE BELIVER'S BLESSING Bro :D
Excellent!!

Man,that Olson Guitar Phil plays just sounds great...sure wish I could afford to have one built!
Amazing....Simply Amazing!
Amazing guitarist.
I soo want to hear him and Tommy Emmanuel play together!!
Must be fun to play so well.
I am a late arrival on this wonderful page. I saw Keaggy was being reacted to and had to check it out. I love the react as you go approach. To me this is a more pure approach .
Flawless play.
Loved his album philip side hardest rock fusion with town to town!
Phil and Dave Beegle playing together is incredible
My new favourite version of Legacy! Not a fan of the religious stuff but his instrumental work's always blown me away. At least he's a decent singer. ;-)
I don't think he honestly compartmentalizes his life say, that Bill Clintone would...it's simply not a healthy thing to do
Wonderful!
Insane!
My god... I love what he does from 4:05 to 5:50

@@captivethoughts1745 - all well and good, but let Phil speak for himself, no?
Phil has numerous times. Have you ever been to any of his concerts?
Amazing!
Saw Mr. Keaggy when I was about 12 before I even knew who he was. Just him on acoustic with a looper. Bought Master and The Musician on Vinyl afterwards without a clue to what it was. My first experience with CCM.
Pretty much all downhill after than. ;)

Stil amazing!!!
All I can say is wow

Amazing... When is he coming to Europe (Belgium)?

Rollin', rollin', rollin' Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Keep movin', movin', movin' Though they're disapprovin' Keep them doggies movin'
R a w h i d e !!!
I was expecting Phil’s rendition of Rawhide! So… Getty up!
That’s good, sounds like something I would write. (The first one).
Not super huge on the whole religious thing but that first song is some of the coolest stuff I've ever heard.
You’re real genius
Wow!!!!!!

Are those ear pieces like monitors? What kind are they? Is it so he can hear his voice better or the guitar better?
❤
Wonderful Phil see you tonight we never met but I make your first part at Abbey Road Church
