Phil Keaggy - Sunday School

[soundcloset]

ice extended second lead! I saw him I think at Creation 82 with a pink and gray strat and thought, preppy, maybe? A nice and approachable guy; I helped him wrap cords up after a local show. Now where is that solo acoustic version of this song I saw one time...? Similar scat stuff in the end as with this one.

I will just say, thank you for posting!

Clapton couldnt carry Keaggy guitar case. I would love to see Beck and Keaggy jam together!

[cleaningthegreen]

greatest rock guitar song of all time and the fact to my knowlage its not really regerstered with "i read rolling stone so i know music"-mind set makes it even greater

[joedcashen]

saw him in concert and meet him he is an amazing guitarist and is basically the reason for me playing today !

[myaqui]

awesome!

Am I hearing the birth of King's X?

[abassplayer4life]

@fretworx Funny you should say "Birth of King's X". This album/song has Doug Pinnick singing background vocals. And when Keaggy toured in the early 80's Doug played bass for him and Jerry Gaskill played drums. King's X were together at this time but they were known as "Sneak Preview".

[fretworx]

@abassplayer4life That's crazy cool! I had no idea, and I consider myself a pretty hardcore King's-X fan. I actually live in Spfd, MO from where they started, and have friends that hung w/them when getting their start. Heck, I've even got a 2x12 cab that Ty used to play through back in the day. But I've never heard the Keaggy connection - THANKS MILLIONS for clueing me in about that! That must have a been a fantastic sounding lineup...

[abassplayer4life]

@fretworx I need to correct myself. You were more correct than I thought. First off, Doug co-wrote Just A Moment Away with Phil. Second, Greg X. Volz was putting together a project and Doug relocated to MO but the band folded shortly thereafter. Phil needed a bassist, drummer and backup vocal for a tour and Doug, Jerry Gaskill and Greg Volz joined Phil for about a year. Doug soon after saw Ty and brought in Jerry and The Edge was born. Name change to Sneak Preview which became King's X.

[fretworx]

@abassplayer4life Right you are - you know your stuff. Then Greg goes to the E-Band and later Petra. So cool how some of the most amazing acts ever got their start. These guys truly paved musical paths that are still being walked upon today.

[robertigno]

this is the greatest christian syth pop alternative band ever!!

I really love this music..this music God Used it to changed my life..thanks for this post videos..

[bruhe]

Back for more. Tell me Clapton can come anywhere near this. I love Eric. But seriously, when Phil's at the top of his game, fuggetaboudit.

[airforcejim]

@bruhe keaggy is in a completely other league from clapton. Clapton was a killer guitarist, but he was really and truly more just a songwriter. Keaggy is pretty much just a virtuoso, even today.

[bruhe]

@airforcejim i agree totally . that was the point. Clapton is great and all, but Phil takes it to a whole 'nother level.

[aerycksmusic]

This song and Time are two of my all time favourites by Phil. It takes a long time to upload though ?

[mudeye]

Listen to me.Phil Keaggy was and is still one of if not the best.

[mgordon1964]

I was there! Great concert!

[gderjeff]

non-religious people have this annoying tendency to complicate simple analogies to ease their consciences. :(

[mb912mom]

That is the whole point of faith. If it could be proved there would be no need for faith.

[guidav123]

i have made the same commit countless times, its good to hear someone else say it as well.

[guitarcastle2]

Excellent song about the world's recurring stubbornness! You may have a cracked ceiling, but God can fix it. We must help them understand that they need God!

[bruhe]

I want Phil to grow that mustache back, grab the Les Paul, and hit the road with the band again!

[UC7media]

I saw him on the Master and the Musician tour. Great talents with him.

[dragonsrightwing]

I'll agree totally!

Gotta point out, however, that in this video Phil's playing a Fender "Stratocaster" rather than a Gibson "Les Paul". Never seen a guitar that Phil didn't make sound good!

[bruhe]

You're right. it is indeed a strat and his stratrobatics are legendary.

[drodenbar]

More recently. e.g on his Jammed album...he plays a strat, as seen on the cover

[jjmouser]

Where did you find this? Do you have more, Vintage Keaggy!? Great Stuff. Thank you.

[marshall1959now]

One of the all time great players, someone told me he can hear something musical and go "o.k., I got it"

[quesapa]

I di9dn't know this artist! Great guitar player! Remind me Mark Farner when he sings. Cool riffs! Thx for posting!

[fanmamma]

Brings back memories--and look at that hair ;)

Do you know (or remember) where this was filmed?

[gene12sis]

I give it around 1082, but where I dont know!
