One of the greatest guitarists of all time.
Have loved Phil Keaggy music for decades. Special and gifted musician. Praise the Lord for his music!
Phil is so lovely. His music changed my life…
Grateful for him and his music. 💕
I had the opportunity to meet Phil in 2000. Such a wonderful person and encouraging man of God. Not only has his music and guitar playing been an inspiration to me but also has his faith. Much appreciated Phil. Thank you!
Phil is sort of retired now. In a perfect world, he would be living off the royalties of his albums from decades ago. His music is the best on the planet, IMHO. Love you, Mr. Keaggy. Glad I got to see you in your touring years. Thanks the inspiration! Oh, an fantastic interview!
I encountered Phil and his love for the Lord in the 70's in Kansas City ... profound witness then ... that he has remained faithful for half a century
in his mission speaks volumes.
I imagine that the joy and rejoicing he will encounter when he meets his Savior and Lord will be a reward for his love, faithful witness and blessing
he has been to those who have heard through his music the call of the spirit.
He has been a profound evangelist to those most in need of the gospel.
Nice interview ... wonderful subject to present.
Started listening to Phil a long time ago after hearing him on a cassette tape of 'How the West Was One.' Being an acoustic guitar player and a Christian, the messages in his music inspired me to further my music ability and influenced me greatly. Many years ago I was doing security for a concert Phil did at Thornton Academy in Saco, ME. I spent some one on one time with him in the waiting room chatting , joking and doing fake Scottish accents. The highlight was when he asked if I would like to play his (if I remember correctly) Langjeans guitar. What a privilege, honour and blessing! I found him to be humble, kind and endearing. Phil, if you ever see this, thank you.
Phil is such a genuine person. No hit records because he didn't sell out to the mainstream.
Phil is an under appreciated National treasure. He usually skips discussing his choices, but fame and the fortune it would've brought would've involved producing music for crowds of people to ingest liquor and various other "mood stabilizing" stuff, which is a "great void" he wanted no part of. He has - obviously - no problem with rocking out; but Rock concerts, and that culture, displace the faith community(which has, unfortunately, gotten itself mixed up with politics, and the money and power it can bring). A famous Rocker once described what they do as "seat-of-your-pants Shamanism."
I think that Phil has done really well; but as he says, he tours and makes music steadily, and he's 68. He shouldn't have to work so hard, but as the great Frank Zappa once said, "the meek shall inherit shit." I'm a long-time fan, and I talk him up to folks when I can, but I'm not a social lion, and as a card-carrying nonconformist, I'm not much of an avatar. The crowds can be difficult to communicate with if you don't keep up with TV and pop culture.
I love the nuggets I've found in this interview, though. As usual, Phil is un-affected and friendly. He's as great a man as he is a guitarist. Thanks for posting this.
Absolutely! As a new believer, Phil’s music drew me in closer to Jesus and opened my heart and soul to a whole new dimension of worship and love for our God!
The mainstream does not like his religion let's face it .
I think Phil's music was the first music i ever listened to. My dad was a huge fan and i remember listening with him when i was really really little. Love him!
I met him once at Mandolin Brothers in Staten Island. I came around the corner and there he was, sitting and playing a guitar (Olsen, I think). He looked up and smiled and started telling me why he liked the guitar. A gentle, approachable, sincerely nice guy. He is a gift to Christian music.
Haven’t connected with anything about Phil in -- years. Will never forget Phil’s impact on me in the Cleveland area when I was a teen.
Great respect & thankfulness for you, Phil.
I even remember his story about getting the Christian song on the Glass Harp album.
You have blessed more people than you know, Phil!
Pastor Kevin Miller, Louisville, Ky.
I met him when I was younger... He's a true gentleman exactly you get what you see.
His looping on acoustic is absolutely stunning.
I wish I could ask Phil about his solo appearance at Heritage USA Rock Hill, SC in 1985. I was 20 feet from him. It was amazing and he is so humble and kind. He is surely the most underrated guitarists of all time....because of his faith of course. I am Agnostic but respect Phil. If anyone could change my mind it would be Phil.
Phil is one of the most talented, yet humblest guys. Fun to get to hear you guys talk about how some of these various things have come together. Nice job Elliot.
Thanks for the kind words Ken.
Thanks Phil I have loved your guitar sound for many decades now.
Excellent interview.
I've met Phil a couple times and have been to numerous concerts of his..., what an absolute GIANT in the Kingdom of God this humble, and extremely gifted, man is!
Great interview Elliott!
Never had a hit record? But what a master of the guitar, of music - thank you Phil for your beauty
And thank you for the depth of the interview.
You are welcome and many thanks for letting me know how what you thought of the interview.
Phil plays a song called "A Royal Commandment" on his Ph'lip Side album which is a rock ballad that is a classic! Nothing like it. I love listening to all of Phil's albums - if i could play guitar like one person, it would be Keaggy! Lord bless you! His joy, peace, grace, & mercy shines through your life!
Great interview Elliot!! Phil is truly like a friend, we’ve been friends since I was 16 in 1977
Thank you for the kind words Rod.
I first saw him when I was a teenager back in ‘79 at Calvary Chapel.
He was awesome then….and remains so.✌️🙏🎶
My favorite artist of all time! I’ve seen him more times than any other.
OH MAN!! Had I know idea Phil was Right down the road in NH I'd have headed down there! I love that church, and there isn't a better musician on the planet than Phill Keaggy! Seen him dozen of times and God Bless him that he's still on the road! WOW! Can't believe it cause I was just thinking of the guy!! Thanks for the vid! Peace and Love to all
What a lovely and gentle man! Thanks for sharing!
His work has blessed me beyond measure. What a joy to know I will be in Heaven with such a wonderful soul and worker of the harvest for our Heavenly Father.
Love, Love, Love Phil Keaggy & his Blessed talent!
Awesome interview with in my opinion the greatest guitarist of all time. Your questions were great 👏
Patrick Maiyo Thank you very much!
He’s so lovely, and points me toward the saviour
Phil is amazing on so many levels but its because he is humble and a true man of God that he is so blessed and has blessed so many others. I don’t know him personally but in Christ I feel as though I do.
Phil autographed my lesson room wall where I used to teach at in Holland Michigan, Del's Music Center. Phil is so talented and such a wonderful person.
I became a believer in 1985 and if I had not found Phil's music, I doubt if I would've stayed in church!
church is inside the man, god is inside the man
Thank you- just got tuned into Phil Keaggy yesterday, and I’m thinking he’s in the top 10 of guitarists I’ve ever heard; alongside mostly contemporaries of his and beyond the present.
I love that he mentioned Nellie's Tune. I love that song so much...
¨Songs are used by God to heal people ¨ Yes , Phil. You are right ! This is a true believer Guy!
God heals people.
Satan designed to make music and overcome with pride inhabits music, it's his venue.
Be very careful about where you give honor and praise.
This will NOT keep you from being loved by your Creator Father Redeemer Saviour.
But music has So Much deception in it.
"All have fallen short of the Glory of GOD."
1) Beware of secret societies.
The oaths they take.
2) Come out of her (Catholic church) there is no mediator but Yeshua Jesus Christ.
3) All the others religions are disobedient created little g gods.
4) Abraham Isaac and Jacob, there is a SAVIOUR, NOW.
It's not racism, not hate it's just history.
Very few things are what they appear.
Ahhh..youre so gifted Phil.... I've been through alot in my life and your playing has given much inspiration.
Phil you’ve been a huge inspiration to me for so many years! Thanks for all the music and your steady love for God!
Phil sells his lyrics short. He's an excellent lyricist.
It saddens me that, if not THE best guitarist in the world, most certainly one of the best, HAS to tour and labor to pay the bills. I absolutely love Phil Keaggy's music. I wish I could fund his life. Peace & blessings to you sir.
Derin Beechner, Phil is a multi-millionaire with a net-worth of in excess of $3,000,000. Hardly a popper! 25 years ago he was commanding on average $5000USD /night to be booked, plus his flight (two people) and hotel and meals. I know because we looked into booking him at our church at that time. 5K USD to come play guitar for 2-3 hrs was VERY good money then and for true “struggling musicians” today, it would still be a gold mine for a solo performer. He had released upwards of 50 albums and tours regularly. Go fund the truly poor orphans in 3rd world countries and never mind thinking about a celebrated guitarist like Phil. His two Olsen guitars are worth upwards of $25-50K USD in today’s dollars. Hardly a poor man’s instrument. His guitar collection alone is probably worth a small fortune. Phil IS an amazing musician no doubt. But be serious my friend. 🤦♂️
@@jmp6943 I enjoyed him a lot more when he had 10 albums. It got a lot less interesting after that. Phil is a talented guitarist and musician but all these Christians calling him the greatest in the world is embarrassing. And probably to him too. I guess they never heard of Allan Holdsworth, Pat Metheny, Steve Morse, Julian Bream, John McLaughlin, and so many other giants of the instrument.
@@reidwhitton6248 : yep!! Phil's playing is certainly on that level! I'm not looking to cause any trouble, but it isn't merely "Christians" who recognize...! In my opinion you overstepped quite a bit here n do not know or realize just how great his playing has been and is.
@@chrisk973 I understand what he's doing on the guitar. I've played one since 1977. I love Phil! He's a great player. But neither Phil or anybody else would say he's in the same league as someone like Holdsworth. But that's fine. Everyone is an individual doing their own thing.
Amazing musician, amazing man. Has helped me from afar countless times. Thank you!
Enjoyed...lovely guy
I have seen him live hes incredible!
I like Phil a lot,
Phil has found seemingly the absolute best middle ground playing world class making tons of top quality albums and never getting swallowed up by the industry. He’s a star but most don’t know it! One of the absolute best!
Amazing interview! Thank you!
I’m glad to have come across this. Great interview. Great job.
Thanks so much for the kind words.
Great interview. Thanks for sharing!
God still using him after all of these years.
Phil...youre such a beautiful soul.
I remember I met you in NJ ...you said way back home was your favorite album....minevtoo brother.
You've encouraged me to work on being a more loving human being.
I wish I could play with you sometimes...but I'm not as elaborate on guitar. But you've definitely inspired me musically and emotionally.
Bees a fan for 42 years. I was a seeker as a teenager, and I bought a les Paul because of your influence. Your songs got me through a lot of tough times. God’s blessings to you.
This guy has played since 9th grade...wow..
Those live mistakes that turn into genius. Like Larry Norman's The Tune.
Phil is one of the best guitarists and musicians on this planet!
Maybe he could be most famous if his music would be "secular".
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other;
or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon
.Matthew 6

Mike Pachelli brought me hero. He was doing a duet with Phil…

I always thought the phil was paul maccartney
Phil never had a hit record only because he didn't do mainstream music. Any one of his songs stand up to anything in the secular world. And then some.
Phil plays better than 99% of famous guitarists.
You conceivably could have pronounced his name correctly.
Amazing guitarist. His lyrics are suspect. No depth.
I loved the early Phil Keagy like back in the early 80's when I was a Christian - grew out of that unfortunate phase.
Looking at this interview I realize how insipid the whole thing was.
Stinky, I hope you will "grow" back into the fortunate parts of (what you referred to as that unfortunate) Christian phase. Christ is still here, still changing lives, still waiting with mercy for you to return. Ever since those days when I surrendered to Christ in 1980 and Keaggy was there for me, I've continued to have my life shaped into Jesus' likeness these many years later through no "effort" of my own, only His mercy and His grace doing its work. Blessings to you.
What about being a Christian do you find unfortunate?
