I have that video "Phil Keaggy Guitar Method". This comes at the end. The sampler unit is from Roland. His signature lick which he invented is the picking "yank" which is done with the volume knob and is easy to learn. You use your little finger. Mounting the knob a little closer to reach can be done by an electric guitar luthier who knows Phil Keaggy's methods. Many Christian Rock guitarists use Phil's techniques. Get that video.
when i was a teenager back in the late 60' and early 70's i seen plenty of guitarists around cleveland area try to imitate phil's techniques on the guitar esp when phil would take the bottom string and push it up as far as possible,,,,the result of other guitarists trying to do this ended up with a broken guitar string!!! one small thing too, there is no justice at all listening to phil on a pc monitor with pc speakers,,,you have to see phil perform in person, then you will KNOW...
@brightlights456X it doesnt make a whole lotta difference on that hand...cant do 5 note chords that arent strummed or partiall strummed and maybe would have some issue with that tremolo style playing like on recuerdos do allahambra but that's all I can think of :D
@brightlights456X It sounds ok for somethings but its not THAT versatile so u get tired of plying with it after a while. It's just not that great a sound either so...
This has got to be the most amazing guitar work I've ever heard. Listen to how beautiful those chords are... So amazing. This composition is so diverse and is really creepy at the one part and really peacefully beautiful in others. Definitely gifted by God. Thanks for this video.
@picko002 yeah he's missing a finger. The way I hear it is he cut it off to give the rest of us a chance. If I want to catch him him he is going to have to cut off he's entire right hand but then he 'd just problably start using his feet. Another 10 digits ;;;; could you imagine. There turly is no one that can touch him... period
that wasnt just amazing grace? Im pretty sure i heard a pretty awesome noregian tune in there:D in the hall of the mountain king<33 or I dovregubbens hall as its originally called:DDDD
The way he manipulates the volume knob, the bow, and the delay at the same time is ingenious. Not my style of music, but an amazing display of talent.
@malevolentmistake - Keaggy is the master of loop layering. Watch him in concert and he seems to just be fiddling around with random runs as he's talking to the audience, only to find out that is the background to the next song.
@LessThanProfessional yeah its a tape delay cuz at that one spot he clicked a button and it just kept looping the same sample over and over again, that is if my memory is serving me properly at the moment haha
The difference between a musician and a guitarist is that all the beautiful things he just played would be turned into songs instead of just seemingly rehearsed canoodling
@theawakener7 Never denied being a masterbater, and I never agreed you where funnier. You have the heavy yoke of that pathetic divisive comment to work past, and then there is the lack of a thread to connect my standing as a wanker to this as well, nope. Not funnier. Either way, have a good day, at least you have a smart tongue and a sense of humor.
@theawakener7 That is about the dumbest stuff I have read on YT in a while, and this place is stupid. Seriously Phil is an amazing guitar player but there are tons of amazing guitar players from all religious backgrounds. Stupid us vs them thinking. I am pretty sure Phil would be offended by what you said.
I heard him once live in Concert. He was incredible. He can do almost anything on his guitar. He is like an Orchestra by himself. Once at a concert he sang part of "I'll get by with a little help from my Friends", The Beatles song. He sounded just like Paul McCartney, maybe better. Thanks Phil. Your the best.
that was the best intro to amazing grace i've ever heard haha, what a topic change. a really cool pink floyd kind of moment right before you start it and cool stuff again after, great use of the bow, probably more musical than any of the other adverts i've seen for it
@nilo260578 No, it vibrates the strings using a magnetic field, to varying intensities, depending on how close you get it to the string. So, it can do infinite sustain, as well as some very unique attack sounds when he actually strikes the string with it. Watch how he moves it not only closer/farther from the strings, but also closer/farther from the pickup. His expressiveness with this device is nothing short of amazing.
Phil Keaggy was creating these sounds all the way back in the early 80s before Jerzak was even born. You can see and hear a vintage example of Phil doing it live way back in 1981 on the tune "Royal Commandment" off his album "Ph'lip Side" which came out circa 1980 Just do a You Tube search for Phil Keaggy "Royal Commandment"...

years ago a rock reported asked eric clapton how it felt to be the greatest guitarist in the world, "how should i know, ask jimmy hendrix", so he asked jimmy hendrix, 'how does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world?" "how should i know replied, jimmy, ask phil keaggy"
Not to downplay him in any way... But I wonder how much better he could be if he had been born with his missing finger? As a guitar player myself I realize that a musician is constantly improving, but still...
@TheJDubrighthere Have you listened to any more of his music? Phil is absolutely PHENOMENAL! Check out The Wind and the Wheat, or County Down. There are WAY too many songs to list here! I think you may just come to the conclusion that he is just right the way he is now! =0)
He is so amazing. I've been a fan since the mid 70's and cannot get enough of his truly unique and amazing guitar work. I've been going through all his videos posted on Utube and WOW!

@dewere641 Yes. If you research it, he lost his finger as a child in Ohio due to a 'Water Pump' accident. His older brother had been killed in a car accident before this happened & his sister had a Toe cut off a few weeks after he lost his finger. He is quoted as saying 'these were very heavy things for his Mother and Father to go through' My God, no kidding
@Janko1492 Phil grew up on a farm in Hubbard, Ohio. While climbing on a water pump on their farm, the platform he was on broke and some faucets fell onto his finger and cut it off.
@dewere641 yeah, whats with the missing fingered guitar players? Jerry Garcia lost his middle finger as a kid, and Django mutilated his hand. Yet, people still seem to just play amazingly!
I hear about all these supposed guitar masters but rarely if ever do they include Phil Keaggy in their comments. C'mon- are you kidding? This guy (anybody's bias against religious belief systems) is CLEARLY a hall of famer! BIG SHOUT OUT TO PHIL KEAGGY - one of the world's most incredible guitar players ever! Oh, by the way - you try to play like this missing the middle finger of your right hand!

@dewere641 Yeah, he lost when he was a little kid. I understand he got it stuck in a ringer of an old fashion washing machine.

@Janko1492 Phil grew up on a farm in Hubbard, Ohio. While climbing on a water pump on their farm, the platform he was on broke and some faucets fell onto his finger and cut it off.

@dewere641 yeah, whats with the missing fingered guitar players? Jerry Garcia lost his middle finger as a kid, and Django mutilated his hand. Yet, people still seem to just play amazingly!

I hear about all these supposed guitar masters but rarely if ever do they include Phil Keaggy in their comments. C'mon- are you kidding? This guy (anybody's bias against religious belief systems) is CLEARLY a hall of famer! BIG SHOUT OUT TO PHIL KEAGGY - one of the world's most incredible guitar players ever! Oh, by the way - you try to play like this missing the middle finger of your right hand!
