Phil Keaggy

I just saw Phil Keaggy in concert.
That guy is the most amazing guitar player in the world.
Seriously.
He blew the socks off any guitar playing I have ever heard before.

He had some sort of mixer that recorded segments of his music and then played/looped it back when he pressed a button with his foot. He then recorded over that and then again over that. In the end he must have had 20 different sounds/voices playing.. which sounded like he had a stage full of people.. but it was just HIM. He had full control of turning them off and on again to create some of the best guitar music I’ve ever heard.

Inconceivable.

Phil.. you rock.

If you EVER get a chance to hear him in concert.. do NOT hesitate to go.
This kind of music doesn’t come around very often… once in a lifetime I expect!
