Phil Keaggy "Salvation Army Band"

[@roadrulz]

My GOSH. Playing guitar, bass, and tap dancing on the pedals, AND singing at the same time. Everything is on key, and has perfect timing. Suddenly I feel very small. This guy is fantastic!!!

[@miamidiver856]

I wanna hear Phil on guitar, JS Bach on organ, and King David on harp jamming with the angels in heaven one day!

[@Gorgeous-e9d]

And you can join in..with a harmonica? Bass? 🎸 or? 😊

[@pattomuso]

I NEVER get sick of watching this!! Age hasn't taken the edge off his awesome gift, if anything he's arguably better now with his crafty use of digital technology.

[@Gorgeous-e9d]

Word. 😊

[@pattomuso]

@@Gorgeous-e9d Still relevant 16 year on!

[@katanamanatee]

This is a phenomenal tune and performance, I'm not even Christian but I can appreciate it's awesomeness. Who says the devil always gets the best tunes eh? lol

[@victoremden]

I love this brother in Christ. He is very talented and listen, he found his own way, to play guitar! Bless u all Victor

[@nicoperezcreative]

What a freaking monster. Still coming back to this vid 2024

[@cpthornman]

Finally someone who uses their ears. That's a real musician folks. And of course great song, and an even greater player.

[@garrysguitar]

One of the Greatest songs ever, played by one of the Greatest Guitarist ever.

[@trentlogain123]

He is an amazing gift to us from God. No doubt about it. What an awesome ministry. I saw him live in an old country church in Athens, TN a while ago, and was blown away, I've never seen anyone make authentic trumpet notes through their mouth like Mr. keaggy. I've never seen any recordings on youtube of him doing it either. But wow..What a humble guy who loves the Lord.

[@skwabo]

I met him once, too, in Kansas City. This song will change you when you hear it live!!!🤟

[@rogerfox5690]

Phil Keaggy thank you for being a blessing from the LORD God in Jesus Christ the Messiah !! ❤❤❤

[@XWingRepair4cheap]

I agree. I saw Phil Keaggy live in the late '80s with a guy named Randy Stonehill on my college campus. The friends who I went to that show with that night still talk about it. Phil has a song called 'Jerusalem' which is simply amazing. His body of work is huge. I'd really like to see him again. My wife and I saw Pat Metheny last October and those are the two most memorable concerts I've ever seen.

[@monhan95]

Singing and playing your music for the God of your salvation is the best gift of all! I am totally addicted to JESUS and proud to be an idiot!!!! I will continue to be an idiot straight in the arms of JESUS someday! PHIL knows that God gave him this GIFT and Phil GIVES it back to HIM by playing so BEAUTIFUL!!

[@oldhat2u]

A man. His guitar. His God. A humble performance. Just GREAT! I met him many years ago. He doesn't remember me but I remember him and the great music! Hey Phil.......keep it goin' buddy....................chuck..

[@LightWordsToday]

To play the guitar (or sing, or play piano, or whatever) is enough in itself as an expression of yourself, of who you are. But ultimately, if we play for (and to) the Great King, it is not in vain nor without recognition. "Heart to God, hand to man..."

[@Vaughanabe13]

That last chord with the rotary/tremolo effect is to DIE FOR!! Perfect way to end an amazing song

[@dadovika3087]

HI FOLKS.... I'M A BASS PLAYER, BUT PHIL HAS INSPIRING ME TO PLAY BETTER IN EVERY TUNE!!!! LOVE HIM.... LOVE JESUS!!!

[@monhan95]

How AWSOME IS THAT! If we would stop and think of how much he loves us and learn to truly love each other the true words of what he said would be revealed. Jesus first commandment was to LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

[@Blink29]

I heard the quote about Phil being "the best in the world." It's more of an urban legend than anything else as the quote has supposedly been made by such guitar greats as Hendrix, Clapton and Van Halen. Said Keaggy, "it was impossible that Jimi could have heard me, we recorded our first album two weeks after his unfortunate death, so I just can’t imagine how he could’ve heard me. I think it’s just a rumor that someone’s kept alive…and that’s it for that!"

[@Pamathey]

Phil Keaggy is the best. And this song cracks me up every time.

[@CCRkunk88]

he's my cousin its great to have this blood in your family

[@rebekahstearns3796]

Amen! And it's all to the glory of God!! I

[@Pamathey]

This song is so catchy. He's a phenomenally gifted artist. And he gives glory to God. Good to know where it comes from!

[@kimberlychilders584]

Best music you'll ever hear!! Awesome guitar playing AND worshipping the Lover of our souls!

[@goodgoodgoodful]

after watching this, i could say that christian music is just quite enough for me... that are some blessed fingers he got!

[@timoteotime]

awesome...the music, the lyrics, the voice,,and the Unbelievable playing..is beyond my comprehension as to how he is doing that!!I love it when somebody is gifted beyond measure and instead of taking credit...gives all the credit to Jesus..praise be HIS NAME!

[@acousticland]

He's great. I didn't know him till today.

[@fknstr]

I used to listen to Mattew Ward and Phil Keaggy back in the 70's. I see Phil hasn't stopped after all these years.

[@TonyGluich]

I grew up in Farrell pa , about 5 miles from Hubbard Ohio. They had teen dance at the buhl park and one time glass harp played .I was 16 and the place filled up with grown ups. Many of the kids did not like him they wanted top 40 songs. I was memorized by Phil and went to the record mart the next day and bought a glass harp album.

[@123bogger123]

this is whats amazing, when you can play guitar like no other, when you have an incredible voice and tone, and when you can write songs and praise and rock like this. This is all in phil keaggy WOW

[@dancingismylifea]

me and my friend just got back from this awesome festival and he was in it and this song blew our minds....no lie.

[@ChevyFreak63]

When God made Phil, He broke the mold...no one like him on the planet!

[@Kairi091]

I saw him do this live about 15 years ago. This guy is amazing!

[@altardefuego1]

ESTE HNO. ES TREMENDO.........GRACIAS SEÑOR POR GENTE ASI PARA TU REINO.......EDUARDO

[@pound9696]

Why argue about who is better than who? The supply of great guitar players is endless. This musician has been putting out a steady stream of hella good original music for decades. I've been playing guitar for thirty five years and, although the Christian message is his deal and certainly not mine, he has spectacular talent far beyond mine and so I regard his music as extraordinary.

[@Nirsterkur]

Every single cell in my body loves and respects Phil and his Incredible Music and Guitar Wizardry more than I can ever say! ❤️🇺🇲

[@Lapotarob]

I've seen Phil live 5 times, solo act. A can't miss concert!

[@SokemRokemRobot]

I was fortunate to see Phil play in Peoria, IL. Randy Stonehill was there, also. It was 3 concerts in one>>> Phil played first, Randy played second, then they played together.

[@lastdaysguitar]

I love that his pedals are bigger than him LOL Amazing. A MIGHTY man of God, and THE best guitarist on the planet: We LOVE you Phil!

[@nategwinn]

I saw Phil at the Canadian Lutheran Youth Gathering in Camrose, Alberta some 13 or so years ago...and I still remember him! WOW~ he's good.

[@susiefromomaha]

Phil is PHENOMENAL!!!

[@Susq15]

I grew up listening to Phil Keaggy. He just gets better and better!

[@gblan]

Most all top level professional guitarists are familiar with PK, his style and his work. One reason he's not more widely known in the mainstream world is he focuses most all of his energy on inspirational music and in today's world that's gonna get ya zippo airtime.

[@RepoMom]

Why have I never heard of this man?? I'm just ....awestruck.....

[@Herfer]

HE truly has a God given Gift for music

[@josiahgust]

I saw him play this song 2 days ago. He didn't play it as part of his set and I was super bummed. Then he back out and played it for an encore, made my night.

[@CrazyZorro4970]

I saw Phil do this song in a concert a little while ago and every other song he did, just as well as this one. All the time being a humble man; up there jamming for God. It was incredible.

[@stevewilliams2240]

Good Lord, Thanks for creating Phil Keaggy .... and forgive those 24 people with no musical taste

[@jimchumley6568]

Steve Williams Hey thumbs up their gluteus maximus

[@lyndelld1]

Amen, they probably don't believe in grace - if you don't believe in grace - you get off into the false doctrine of works and become a wretched man. 24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 I thank God-through Jesus Christ our Lord! - Romans 7 -

[@DJ80s]

Wow that old man gives a whole new meaning to the term Rockin' Chair! He Rocks!

[@ryosnewtubeaccount]

I'm with t0m on this one. Music is music, doesn't matter where it comes from. You say God Bless, I say rock on.

[@Blackhawk1962]

This is by far the greatest guitarist in the world!

[@Pamathey]

I can't wait to see King David jam with Phil in heaven!

[@slowslippy1203]

Anyone know where I could find a version of this in Mp3 or CD? This is just amazing. Honors God with his music and life. Great stuff.

[@JulieJackson1]

The thing about you Phil is that, just as your friend, Michael Card says, You make it look so easy. Thanks for your music.

[@lllULTIMATEMASTERlll]

I saw Phil Keaggy last night. He was amazing.

[@J0sA1Ac]

i like how the way he tunes the guitar in the middle of the song with such confidence.

[@comfortat]

Phil is just delightful in every way.

[@mannymarvin3378]

Well if there is somewhere to go when we all leave this place.....It's gonna be a great Gig! I'd like a front row seat thanks! Brilliant!

[@marillionjenn]

phil is one of the world's best kept secrets. he is amazing.

[@artguyken]

why does this have to be "my super hero can beat your super hero?" Sheesh. I've seen Phil play live several times and he never fails to amaze. I'm not saying who he is or isn't better than. It's irrelevant. The guy can play. He can entertain and he's one of the most modest people I've ever met. Great video. Thanks, Norm, for posting!

[@DrCognitive]

I remember meeting him when I was learning guitar. Super nice guy and a great guitarist! I was actually at a point of giving up on guitar and he was very inspirational which kept me going. Now it's one of my favorite hobbies when I'm feeling I need to destress. I just whip out the guitar and play some of my favorite songs and everything becomes better!

[@abayer1000]

I am 56 I first saw phil in 1970 at the buhl park casino , I was 15 and there were all these people in there 20`s that invaded our teen dance and phil was not playing any top 40 tunes. most of the kids were mad they didnt dig him ? I went to record mart the next day and bought a glass harp album. I nolonger have that album I loned it out never got it back oh well I not got youtube

[@siamesenightmare93]

im one of the least religious people you will ever meet, and of course i love this guy! who cares what he believes and writes about? he also tears it up like almost nobody else. you dont have to be the same as someone to respect and enjoy their music

[@fbass40]

Fantastic. This guy is a gift to us believers.

[@mikea731]

I love how he tunes the low e down and then does the guitar solo so you completely forget that he even did that and then he brings it back up at the end and your like wooooooaaaahhhh.

[@inTWelligent]

phil keaggy is freakin amazing

[@bbsb300]

World class demonstration of incredible skills and creativity, Thanks redbaron863 for sharing, Cheers Billy ;)

[@facuundo]

very ,very good awesome i'm argentinan an i like this type of music you're a good, good guitar player and singer God!!!!! saludoss

[@BillyBoyIzKool]

I was there too. That kicked ass, oh my god his soloing was great.

[@eXDax]

If only there were a higher-quality version of this video somewhere... :-)

[@JamMan6string]

After so many years into a career and he comes up with yet another song that I consider artistically rich. Then yet again, the subsequent Inseparable CD (fan club version) has a remix of The Seeing Eye which enthralls me from the moment it begins playing those quirky intro sounds. Anyway, I love this song, its groove, its jams, and its Salvation Army Band message. How cool is all that! It doesn't get any better.

[@sherryberry65]

Hi. It's off Phil's "True Believers" album released in '95. A truly good album!

[@zaoribah]

10000000000000times inspiration information.Big brainy holds my heart in its hand its moving with the salvation army band.

[@t0m44]

I respect him for writing about what he believes in. It doesnt make me a hypocrite for not believeing in god and liking his music

[@MicheldeNostradame9]

So beautifully sang a song. A favorite at once.

[@brotherbrando]

i'd like to second that emotion. thaat was the most enlightening, rocking, inspiring, brilliant, awesome, greatest 8 minutes and 35 seconds of a moment. makes i feel even a little more higher, my body is buzzing.

[@odogsantacruz]

Pure savage...the dood only has four fingers on his right hand! Makes most of us look stupid, but is one of the greatest encouragers to musicians on the planet! Love his voice and totally envy his playing! AMAZING!!!

[@jamesnaruke]

Phil Keaggy is so creative. He is amazing!

[@XWingRepair4cheap]

Hey everyone, I'm new here. But I always remember hearing that Clapton made the comment. It's the stuff of legends in the back pews of churches nationwide.

[@nategwinn]

yeah....I've watched this over and over for a long time.....and that probably is the proper word for it.....RIDICULOUS!!!! I saw him once about 15 years ago it was pretty good.

[@NewBornFlyMusic]

This is ridiculously awesome! Praise the Lord!

[@sk8ordie3895]

phil keaggy... the man, the myth, the legend

[@sonofahen]

"Heart to God, my hand to man, salvation army band!"

[@NarrowGateStudios]

Go Uncle Phil. You Rock. From your Favorite Nephew Cameron

[@travwoody1]

Really. Amazing. But in time I hope that you see....he is playing for the Creator of the Universe. He is never a dull audience. I don't think that he is worried about competition. The angelic host can play circles around us. He is just using what God gave Him to paint the way for others.

[@aliengtr]

as I understand it, Phil Keaggy took the high road in his musical career or he would be even more well known in secular music world, makes him even more of a musician in my book, very cool indeed..deserves more exposure and dig his looping

[@Cre8tvMG]

Every time he touches a guitar something wonderful and amazing happens. And he can sing. Wow.

[@sveinung93]

he sureely got a gift from god and use it good. Amen

[@TomWatsonB1]

Simply amazing! Phil Keaggy Owns!

[@curioduo75]

If you look for a Rolling Stone article in 1973 with Jimmy Hendrix, he's asked, "What does it feel like to be the greatest guitar player on earth?" His reply was, "I don't know, ask Phil Keaggy." No lie ... look it up.

[@victoremden]

Bravo, Phil, as a musician youe have no peer!

[@BrotherDevious]

Fantastic. I like his voice, too.

[@leshooper3866]

What a wonderful player,singer, soloist! How come I haven't heard of him?

[@kentjohnson5704]

No one hears about great musicians if they add Christian to their name

[@GuitarSlinger2112]

***** Because a lot of people just don't want to hear about your invisible sky buddy. Some Christian music is good like this song here, but more commonly what happens is that it sucks and typical Christians aren't capable of realizing that it sucks if it has God brand all over it and so they add it to their list of things that are oppressing them. And that gets old.

[@kentjohnson5704]

SO thats why you don't like his Instrumental albums? Sheesh. Talent is Talent Mister GS.

[@GuitarSlinger2112]

***** Guess what. I don't like other musicians too. But you proved my point by not being able to separate the God™ branding.

[@sparkfire22223]

+GuitarSlinger2112 Nice of you at least to still put a capital 'G' on the word :P - I'm sentimental about anything my mother makes me by the way, I treasure it, even though others may not see what i see in it. God is my Father, so I'm sentimental about music that praises Him. It's quite normal actually, there are things you value too which others won't understand. That's just the way the world spins :)

[@beautifuldaymusic]

I'm amazed every time I see this!

[@joe700700]

now that is one world class performance...............!

[@IndusPigment]

Scrumptous Stuff !! This guy is acidic - he's sure to have a solid following!

[@joejoepassthemilk]

didnt know he was such a great singer! fantastic

[@dancingismylifea]

oh yea phil was the best..and i like john goodman's improv! yea we went to the trade show! and we saw phil chen do this awesome little show with this guy that my friends dad knew...pretty awesome.

[@azhum]

One of the best, ever...

[@JCDOUBLENICKEL]

I saw Phil play for the first time last night, and was blown away. What a fantastic guitar player, and musically creative genius! Fan for life!

[@micp4130]

it's even better than the version on the album!

[@BlountForce]

That's so awesome.. this guy has way too much talent!

[@GJSolo]

2:22 and 2:28 are easily the most underrated parts of this video. If you listen, while he's hitting the guitar he hits two seemingly random open E strings with his pinky. When he does the bass line and starts to tune down, you will hear both of those notes "accidentally" appear at the perfect point in the bass line. Realistically, it would be impossible for him to hit that note cleanly at that point, so he planned it on the first run like a boss.
