Phil Keaggy - Addison's Walk

Watch the awesome tapping and harmonics...

[@AcousticBruce]

Beyond Nature is one of the most amazing instrumental acoustic albums I have ever heard. I absolutely recommend this album to anyone with any sense of taste in music

[@brian2.078]

Thank you Phil for giving us this timeless treasure beyond words. And thank you God for giving us Phil. This is some of the finest guitar playing...nay the finest music I've ever heard. It is so concise and efficient in it's ability to move your heart in the most profound way. This is music that speaks to the core of my being. A priceless gift.

[@Durwood71]

He plays solo but it sounds like a duet. Absolutely amazing.

[@o7levi]

Phil's getting quite a bit older now (aren't we all).. I remember around this time he said it was a special place in his life, and that a lot of his best music came from that time. Sort of makes you wish we could pick a place in our lives.. and just stay there for a while longer.

[@Corduroyflare]

One of the best guitarists I have ever EVER come across.

[@irobious3284]

I saw Phil play the 'Beyond Nature' album in about 1989. It changed my life and guitar playing. A work of genius by an extraordinary musician. mrdogted

[@amythehuntress]

Keaggy is my hero. Only makes me want to try harder as an artist to learn everything I can and not give up. If he can do this amazing stuff with 9 fingers I certainly can do my best with all 10.

[@davidb.slatton885]

#1. It was always uplifting and a real treat every time I saw him perform live #2. it's great how three of the most talented musicians on the planet did the Bucket List, #3 and three of my very favorite songs by brother Phil are Little Ones, Sounds, and Let Everything Else Go...One of my favorite albums of his is entitled Jammed!..... the entire album is all instrumentals!

[@cjk9013]

Beautiful. Thank you mobile4357. I started listening to Phil in 1978; one of the all time greats on guitar.

[@rickjohnson831]

Phil is a brilliant technician, but his musicality is what makes him stand out. You'll never hear him play a scale. I'm not a Christian, but music is music, and this guy is amazing. If you don't listen to Phil because you don't agree with his religion, I say you're closed minded and missing some beautiful music.

[@mikeozzy84]

this song always cheers me up :)

[@stevedorman971]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@togue777]

It seems the more I listen to this song the more I want to listen to it. How ironic that such a warm and gentle soul can emote music in such a powerful and humbling fashion.

[@TedSchoenling]

One of my all time favorite albums

[@seekingpeniel]

Incredible subtleties twists and rifling spiraling hyperspeed turns .. Some stop and views as well.. Enjoyed the walk on Addison's Walk .. Thank You

[@wileypayote]

Thank you Phil. Your music puts me in a good place. God bless you.

[@geoweiss]

I love ya brother Phil! Keep lifting up Jesus!

[@Tazz77]

Beautiful...just beautiful.

[@LDyern]

One of God's stunning impartations to Phil Keaggy.....

[@DaddysGurlinHeaven]

i love this guy! he;s my favorite guitarist (besides my Dad LOL)

[@Tazz77]

Everytime I watch this I'm giving it 5 stars.

[@magnusea]

He's simply amazing.

[@gabemiller4882]

I love his music !!

[@drbcook]

This is amazing, he is a class all alone !!

[@XcaptainXobliviousX]

i have never, ever, ever, ever, ever been driven to tears by music before i heard this song. i mean, its not like im sobbing or anything

[@rmsolympic1]

well,basically, Nobody should feel bad because phil is this good. See, was doing this sort of thing before he was born, having sat in with a few cherubs here and there. in other words, he's got a head start.

[@petal56]

He is so awesome

[@dijobak]

Now can you imagine Phil, and Eric Clapton jamming? Would love to see that!

[@rileycpo]

Or Peter Frampton???

[@jonp4846]

Or Michael Hedges if he were still with us.

[@davidcastro3799]

or pat metheny

[@mp120469]

Great feeling,touch and sound!

[@ericestrada5150]

Another amazing journey! Love it and my soul is smiling :D

[@KARENK72886]

best meditative song for me...thanks!

[@peachyjr88]

goodygoody23, God gave him that gift to share with the rest of the world

[@goodygoody23]

I'm so glad that he dropped his addiction to heroin early, so that he could share that gift. He woulda turned into another sad story like Hendrix

[@juaneato]

How anyone can give this a thumbs down is incredible.

[@regular_guy70s]

Juan Valladares, I want to punch the thumbs-downers in the face. 😂

[@goodygoody23]

No one should be allowed to be as good as Phil on the guitar, it just isn't fair to the rest of us

[@ToolGhoul]

He has the best accoustic tone there is.

[@gre1990]

greatest player ever

[@Tazz77]

I wish this song was at least 3 minutes longer.

[@togue777]

This song reminds me a little of Chris Procter crossed with Hedges yet its still all Phil.

[@salm37]

God gave him a good gift!

[@WoundedEgo]

Loverly.

[@MADdwarfWorkshop]

Song inspired by C.S. Lewis & J.R.R. Tolkien's friendship if I'm not mistaken? hence the name: a road they walked near oxford many evenings talking about faith.

[@abrotherinchrist]

Or how to further corrupt the minds of Christians with stuff like this: www.amazon.com/Hierarchy-Heaven-Douglas-Edison-Harding/dp/0956887716 You cannot mix the holy and the profane and think it pleases God.

[@Insigma83]

Beautiful use of harmonic in the melody. I love that, I am off to learn that right now.. hold on.. whats the tuning?

[@MADdwarfWorkshop]

they were best friends. they started a club at oxford called the inklings. Tolkien brought Lewis into understanding & embracing of the Christian faith. Its a really cool story, search it up. There's a few good documentaries to.

[@Insigma83]

OK I think I learned the beautiful harmonic bit. Actually the tuning is slightly different from what I said. I think its C# A# F C# G# C. Which is drop D for both E strings, and tune the G-string down to an F# then tune everything down half a step and you got it. Its a pain to do but its worth it. The lovely harmonics are played: 220100 as the chord with the left hand and xx12x12 12 as the harmonic played with the right hand slap. Have fun

[@joeytherocket]

It seems like theres a lot of confusion on the tuning. In the booklet that comes with the CD, it says the tuning is DADF#BD.

[@mholdren95]

Wow, I'm a guitarist and whenever I watch Phil go at it on guitar like this, it takes my confidence down a whole level just because of what the man can do on a guitar haha. But I've always admired how he does that slapping technique that I've seen him do before at about 0:52. If there's anybody that could gove me some tips in how to do something like that, that would be great.

[@ianlarrimore8]

Sorry this is 12 years late, but if you or anyone is reading this, the trick to harmonic tapping is using the soft pad of your finger (after the last joint) to quickly tap the string directly over a harmonic node. When tapping an open string, 12th fret (1 octave up) and 19th fret (1 fifth up) are the easiest to coax a good sound out of, but any node will technically work. When fret a note, you move the harmonic node further up, and you need to tap the string at that new point (for starters, try getting a harmonic note 12 frets up from where you are fretting).

[@ianlarrimore8]

Phil alternates between his first and third fingers (maybe allows ring and little fingers to strike together, not sure) by sort of pivoting his wrist. Many suggest that the fact that he's missing his middle finger makes this tapping technique easier, but Scott Dente, after pointing this out to teenage me at a concert, told me something like, "But don't do anything crazy." Keeping the last joint of the tapping fingers relaxed really helps get more note and less attack.

[@nickluna5995]

cool.

[@shadoworld58]

gosh i would love to see him live. Did he do any acoustic stuff like this?

[@ericfarquard]

Phil does more with a guitar in 1:31 than some players do their entire lives

[@marlinman1000]

The first and BETTER Andy McKee!!

[@wileypayote]

I'd love to hear and album with him Antoine Dufour.

[@VAXHeadroom]

What's this video from? I'd like to pick up a copy...

[@Tralman1965]

It could be "I feel the winds of God today". I have the CD and that's the only song mentioning weather.

[@AcousticBruce]

@jazzrockblues95 Beyond Nature. It would be a mistake not to own that one.

[@user-vj3id8xw5f]

The one

[@Tazz77]

Where can I find this song on CD? What album?

[@sirjackson5]

Wonder is this song about the walking path in Oxford England, or can it be translated as Addison's (son of adam's) Walk (journey) maybe journey of mankind, or something, I don't know.

[@Insigma83]

cheers for that you are correct, however the entire guitar is lowered half a step too. See its dropped down to Db or C# whatever you prefer

[@fuzzguitarra2]

just tap the strings with your picking hand really solftly in the correct places (the 12thfret in this case) it's more like a slight flick. check out the andy timmons' song "electric gypsy" you can listen to that technique more clearly there

[@DaddysGurlinHeaven]

yah. C.S. Lewis was inspired to write his books from J.R.R. Tolkien ^.^

[@samswank]

C#G#C#FA#C# that is, if you want it to be in tune with this. Playing it, I'm finding, is a different matter.

[@jazzrockblues95]

@AcousticBruce whats the ablums name?

[@samswank]

Tuning is DADF#BD (1/2 step down..you do the math)

[@fenderboy88]

whats the tuning for this?

[@Trogdor585]

Anyone know the tuning?

[@biggfingger5]

Watch Andy McKee

[@nhm1069]

Does anyone know what tuning he is using here?

[@bruhe]

DADF#BD

[@flimflam0069]

C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien knew each other?

[@MrHellcat26]

0:54 how exactly do you do that?

[@bruhe]

MrHellcat26 tap 12 frets from the finger position for the harmonic.

[@wileypayote]

I think it's the other way around because c.s. lewis was inspired by God and the bible, not the lord of the rings.
