Wow. There are a lot of great guitarists to be found on the internet, so it's really impressive when you find one who really blows you away with their awesome ability. Man, Phil Keaggy is a name I'll be searching up a lot from now on. Just astounding playing. You're doing things that are truly unique and sound fantastic. Brilliant stuff.
Just listened to my new amp. Ordering it as soon as I change channels. Awesome demo Mr Phil Keaggy. Roland should be paying you royalties for this performance
I’ve been following the brilliant Phil Keaggy since he was the lead guitarist in the Akron area band Glass Harp in the late 1960’s. If you want to hear an absolute killer of an electric guitar solo listen to Phil’s solo in the Glass Harp song Can You See Me. Outstanding electric player who transitioned to acoustic. He convinced me to get the Roland AC-33.
I got the privilege of seeing him live back in 99, amazing live looper artist and amazing humble man! I got to meet him and have him a drawing I did of him and he loved it. Very humble, nice man. Been following his music for twenty seven years.
I just ordered the Roland AC40, and I have to say this is one of the best Demos Ive seen. All my respect, love and admiration to the gentle soul who is perhaps the best man to demonstrate this incredible product :)
Urban legend. Phil will tell you that himself, and quite frankly I think he's tired of hearing it. What he is is the most versatile guitarist out there as he can play more styles and genres of music than anyone else. Most people stick to one style (blues, rock, bluegrass, classical, etc.), Phil can jump in and play them all. Ask Phil if he thinks he is the best guitarist out there, and he will name a half dozen that he thinks are better. His humility and soft-spokenness is what sets him apart from all the prima dona guitar players.
rockpapaman: That is false you can ask Phil Keaggy himself. The story goes, his band recorded in Jimi's studio. Two weeks later Jimi was dead, Phil doesn't believe Jimi ever heard him play. Ok now it's time for me and Captive Thoughts to duke it out on "Who is Phil's #1 Fan"!!!
Flip. In. Heck. It's like having Michelangelo demonstrate a chisel for you or Bill Gates on tech support. I'm not sure who's more impressed, me or my neighbours! Thanks Roland and thanks Phil, you rock.
Phil is a magnificent musician! What an awesome demo. Thanks a lot for showing the features of the looper. Phil also seems like a very kind person. God bless and may you continue to have great musical fortune!
I came into this vid looking for a portable amp for my brother in law...I'm now seriously considering picking up one of these myself. Now, if I could just make it sound like this.... That man has some serious talent!
PK has been playing for many years and he has stuck to his guns and his own way of playing. It speaks for itself. If you watch early videos of Les Paul and Mary Ford you can see the same joy. Every lasting joy!
This gentleman has had a well respected career at this stage he has a great balance in life great musician and a great person. I'm considering this amp, I've read it's 100% when AC powered but the sound quality is noticeably diffe ent on battery. Still checking reviews and will have to actually try one.. great review Phil
Incredible video; don't ever take it down. Not only did I enjoy it, I learned a lot. Also, please tell us what floor switches Phil is using, and give us a link to them. Thank you. (GREAT job, Phil. You really rocked it!!!)
Skip the talk about the gear - and scroll to 4mins in - this guy is fantastic... goes to show - its not about gear, its about the talent behind the gear...
Inspiring playing Phil. We have a pair of AC-33 amps which we use outdoors a lot, for jamming & recording. Our thing is getting outdoors which is where we love playing the most.
Amazing Phil! 1st time I saw you was around 1977 at Swing Auditorium in San Bernadino, CA. You're still amazing. Thanks for using that amazing talent for the Kingdom!
I've been a fan of Phil Keaggy since 1978 when I first heard him playing guitar with 2nd Chapter of Acts on How the West was One. He inspired me then to be a better guitar player, and still does today. But more than that, he inspires me to be a humble Godly man. Thank you Phil for the many years of your inspiration.
Yes all great pieces of work. It is just fun and enjoyable to sit and play like this. He was in Jax back in December and was great to see. Beyond Nature is my favorite. Riverton is a great song too.
Was very pleased to come across your video, I purchased one of these a couple of days ago, along with a Taylor 414ce L30. It has more than doubled my practice times moving up from a Fender amp and guitar. I'm in no way knocking Fender products because it wouldn't be fair since the guitar was just above an entry level, and the Taylor not so much Anyway, I think the key to becoming a better guitarist is the desire to want to practice more, and this new equipment has definitely achieved that. Enjoyed your video. God's speed. John C.
Phil and Paul are actually acquaintances. I came across pictures of the two of them jamming before a wedding. Type in Phil Keaggy talks about Paul McCartney on youtube.
@@MrTomanderson76 As I recall, Linda McCartney's sister is a big Keaggy fan and had him sing at her wedding. I believe that's the only time Paul and Phil met.
Paul was a big influence on Phil. Phil's a child of 60s and 70s rock and The Beatles' sound. He had a band called Glass Harp, they did a few albums and then he became "born again." He's done Christian music since then.
Not To Use The Lords Name In Vain But....Jesus Christ....This Man Is Blessed.....Born For It....Wow....And Absolutely Wow Again....Superb Demo And Superb Playing And Singing.
Did you know you could lose a finger on an old-fashioned water pump? I think Phil has been using loopers since they were invented. He really shows what can be done with that roland looper, and even uses an extra foot switch for the effects. It does get a bit more expensive to get fancy with this amp, but I think it will be worth it.
Hi Phill,I'm "E"we met at The Dagsboro church,they had dinner concert that evening and you sing a catalog for a friend,how are you!!! I'm just doing fine in my homeland Puerto Rico.glaad to see you. steel playing around,God bless you.
Great demonstration, Phil Keaggy ! I was already thinking of getting one of them ..... so, i will ... I just wonder how it sounds when it comes to the nylon strings acoustic guitars. That's why I'll find a music shop to try it ... Thanks a lot anyway ! ... and you more than deserve that cup of tea ...
Hey Phil...me hopes you are on Roland's payroll...you have just sold this one on the AC-33...just wish I could make the guitar sound something close to what you can do! You are one hell of a muso! Thank you for sharing this...
The capo near the nut is only for the 5th string. The first capo is for strings 1 to 4, and the sixth has nothing on it, but I think it has a lowered tuning.
