Phil Keaggy Concert
Tonight Mrs. Kraus and I had the pleasure of seeing Phil Keaggy in concert at our church. He was the best guitarist I’ve ever seen live. Phil not only possess amazing skill on the guitar, he also has a cool style where he records himself playing a riff, then loops it. Plays another riff and loops it. Drums on his guitar and loops it. After a few of those, the riffs would all play together while he then went on to solo up and down the neck, with the sound of 3 or 4 other Phil Keaggy’s playing along with him. It’s so rad. In case I didn’t explain that very well, here is an example:
I came home after the concert and played my guitar for over 2 hours. Thanks for the inspiration Phil! By the way, in this video does it look like he is missing the middle finger on his right hand?
He is missing that finger which makes him all the more amazing! I too saw him play live in a church in South Florida, and felt the presence of the Lord through his music. Check out his “Way Back Home” album to hear the title track, where he sings about how he lost that finger.
Jesus be praised!
