Roland AC-33 Phil Keaggy Demo

Guitarist and vocalist Phil Keaggy demonstrates the AC-33 Acoustic Chorus Guitar Amplifier.

[@tedholcombe2325]

Mr. Keaggy’s playing has done nothing but get better over the years. And, to add to that, his voice is still golden. You are blessed and a blessing.

[@crashpodROCK]

Wow. There are a lot of great guitarists to be found on the internet, so it's really impressive when you find one who really blows you away with their awesome ability. Man, Phil Keaggy is a name I'll be searching up a lot from now on. Just astounding playing. You're doing things that are truly unique and sound fantastic. Brilliant stuff.

[@flutesongs3765]

Wow! Love the amp! But what this gentleman did with it and his music is true art!

[@rickrife9636]

Just listened to my new amp. Ordering it as soon as I change channels. Awesome demo Mr Phil Keaggy. Roland should be paying you royalties for this performance

[@dopamining7621]

The amp is cool, but this guys playing is INCREDIBLE !

[@rockpapaman]

Somebody once asked Jimi Hendrix how it felt to be the best guitarist in the world. His response, " I don't know, ask Phil Keaggy."

[@captivethoughts1745]

Urban legend. Phil will tell you that himself, and quite frankly I think he's tired of hearing it. What he is is the most versatile guitarist out there as he can play more styles and genres of music than anyone else. Most people stick to one style (blues, rock, bluegrass, classical, etc.), Phil can jump in and play them all. Ask Phil if he thinks he is the best guitarist out there, and he will name a half dozen that he thinks are better. His humility and soft-spokenness is what sets him apart from all the prima dona guitar players.

[@tim7of717]

rockpapaman: That is false you can ask Phil Keaggy himself. The story goes, his band recorded in Jimi's studio. Two weeks later Jimi was dead, Phil doesn't believe Jimi ever heard him play. Ok now it's time for me and Captive Thoughts to duke it out on "Who is Phil's #1 Fan"!!!

[@dameoncorfusalus5775]

Caught him at the Fillmore East with Glass Harp ~1970ish -- was totally blown away. Seem to remember he was using some kind of sustainer?

[@rileycpo]

Amazing guitar player and an all around nice guy.

[@ToddLorencUkuleleMusic]

I got the privilege of seeing him live back in 99, amazing live looper artist and amazing humble man! I got to meet him and have him a drawing I did of him and he loved it. Very humble, nice man. Been following his music for twenty seven years.

[@StephenFasseroMusic]

finally a good show case of how epic the pairing of this amp and a great player can be!

[@UncleMullet]

Holy $#*T! I came here for a product review and listened in humble awe of a master! Thank you Phil Keaggy!

[@honestnewsnet]

You know when your listening to a master, they make something complicated look so effortless. This my friends is called elegance and grace.

[@bcm1621]

Unbelievable, words fall short of his amazing gift. ❤

[@notsinatra1040]

Phil Keaggy is the best guitarist alive. Notice his middle finger is missing on his picking hand. I've been following him since 1970.

[@Broadfieldpoint]

I've never heard this man play before....I'm floored

[@Username89039]

Flip. In. Heck. It's like having Michelangelo demonstrate a chisel for you or Bill Gates on tech support. I'm not sure who's more impressed, me or my neighbours! Thanks Roland and thanks Phil, you rock.

[@SendilSelvan]

I just ordered the Roland AC40, and I have to say this is one of the best Demos Ive seen. All my respect, love and admiration to the gentle soul who is perhaps the best man to demonstrate this incredible product :)

[@thematrixglitch]

Phil thanks for all the music and the joy you transfer while playing it.

[@gerysasko3410]

I’ve been following the brilliant Phil Keaggy since he was the lead guitarist in the Akron area band Glass Harp in the late 1960’s. If you want to hear an absolute killer of an electric guitar solo listen to Phil’s solo in the Glass Harp song Can You See Me. Outstanding electric player who transitioned to acoustic. He convinced me to get the Roland AC-33.

[@malayariver]

Wow, this is a beautiful human being. Thanks for sharing your passion with us, it's a pleasure.

[@karelcuchal9813]

He is Christian too, acc. to his witness.

[@1960beadie]

@@karelcuchal9813 ...wow..a double positive whammy!!!

[@longlifeenergy]

Phil is a magnificent musician! What an awesome demo. Thanks a lot for showing the features of the looper. Phil also seems like a very kind person. God bless and may you continue to have great musical fortune!

[@FierceProtocol]

Phil Keaggy. Still the best guitar player on the planet.

[@rileycpo]

Would love to hear him play w/ Warren Haynes though. Passion and tone.

[@rickgrebenikpuggles56]

Lucas lombardi is

[@guitargeezer100]

I saw Phil in Colorado several years back - still an absolutely amazing player. Thanks, Phil!!

[@YouRock777]

Phil Keaggy one of the best musician in the world, no matter what gear he use.

[@stevenarseneault1972]

What a musician. Class act.

[@Boogietized]

Phil is a beast...talk about sick skills! Been a fan for a long time.

[@ericbutler7310]

I came into this vid looking for a portable amp for my brother in law...I'm now seriously considering picking up one of these myself. Now, if I could just make it sound like this.... That man has some serious talent!

[@rileycpo]

He has been playing since the 60's. Many albums too. If you go out and buy, "Beyond Nature" you won't be let down. Nor will this album ever get old.

[@mbrsart]

Phil is nothing short of inspiring.

[@Rockmuse]

I came for the amp, i stayed for the performance! Mesmerizing!

[@Brembelia]

Exactly. I never heard him before, although I believe I've heard his name in the past. Had no idea he is such a killer guitarist. Lucky us !!!

[@MrTomanderson76]

You and me both brother!!!!

[@rileycpo]

PK has been playing for many years and he has stuck to his guns and his own way of playing. It speaks for itself. If you watch early videos of Les Paul and Mary Ford you can see the same joy. Every lasting joy!

[@1960beadie]

...and I am just one of many ...also came for the amp, but now just want to hear him play more...!

[@thewarmantrio]

if you ever get a chance go see him live he is amazing and very entertaining

[@delphinoaleon6436]

Holy moly I am a super huge Phil Keaggy fan now. I like when he's playing mixolydian #4. Absolutely phenomenal

[@Hopesfreely]

man he is melting faces in the most gentle of ways. awesome!

[@lushkordz6643]

incredible technic n musicality as well as sense of rythm n performance // a trully kickass dude

[@robertfantazo4751]

Phil, I met you at the Roller skating Rink in Ohio. You were playing Plynth water down the drain with the Glass Harp. I guess that dates both of us.

[@freddievaldez6587]

Bravo maestro. You've enlightened me. Great playing. Great show. Wonderful performance.

[@breaktaking1540]

This gentleman has had a well respected career at this stage he has a great balance in life great musician and a great person. I'm considering this amp, I've read it's 100% when AC powered but the sound quality is noticeably diffe ent on battery. Still checking reviews and will have to actually try one.. great review Phil

[@Brembelia]

Incredible video; don't ever take it down. Not only did I enjoy it, I learned a lot. Also, please tell us what floor switches Phil is using, and give us a link to them. Thank you. (GREAT job, Phil. You really rocked it!!!)

[@davidf5501]

With one mic and a small amp he sounds like a million bucks. Crazy talent.

[@SteveNoosa]

Fan - ffing - tastic Phil - thank you so much!!!

[@ClaytonCoffman]

Incredible! It would be nice if Roland could ask him to do this again, only next time, have a split screen showing what his feet are doing throughout!

[@dougger42]

Yes, and I would like to see how he has the footswitches set up.

[@Brembelia]

Me, three. And I would like a link to those switches, too. :)

[@Putnab7]

Beautiful guitar! And playing!

[@KawauMusic]

Outrageous!

[@karelcuchal9813]

Thnx for professional demo.

[@leftymadrid]

Great feeling when hearing you play!!!! Fantastic playing!!!

[@rootube808]

Inspiring playing Phil. We have a pair of AC-33 amps which we use outdoors a lot, for jamming & recording. Our thing is getting outdoors which is where we love playing the most.

[@honestnewsnet]

Excellent performance.

[@RealRadNek]

Amazing Phil! 1st time I saw you was around 1977 at Swing Auditorium in San Bernadino, CA. You're still amazing. Thanks for using that amazing talent for the Kingdom!

[@guitardude4700]

Brilliant as always Phil!!!

[@maagu-_-]

Great amp, INCREDIBLE playing!

[@1111varaprasad]

oh Wow that is so awesome, loved Phil Keaggy playing on this amp

[@The314moses]

What a monster talent this guy is, damn!

[@brianjones4026]

Beautiful indeed !

[@BH-yq4io]

I've been a fan of Phil Keaggy since 1978 when I first heard him playing guitar with 2nd Chapter of Acts on How the West was One. He inspired me then to be a better guitar player, and still does today. But more than that, he inspires me to be a humble Godly man. Thank you Phil for the many years of your inspiration.

[@SONGSTICKS]

I wrote my last comment as this video was playing, then right at the end Phil sang and blimey if he don't sound just like Paul McCartney !

[@Brembelia]

Yes, I saw this, too. It must be a greatness-gene thingy...

[@MrTomanderson76]

Phil and Paul are actually acquaintances. I came across pictures of the two of them jamming before a wedding. Type in Phil Keaggy talks about Paul McCartney on youtube.

[@ebookpioneers]

@@MrTomanderson76 As I recall, Linda McCartney's sister is a big Keaggy fan and had him sing at her wedding. I believe that's the only time Paul and Phil met.

[@erestube]

Paul was a big influence on Phil. Phil's a child of 60s and 70s rock and The Beatles' sound. He had a band called Glass Harp, they did a few albums and then he became "born again." He's done Christian music since then.

[@mikegeeguitarman8991]

great musician lad, you are a truly fine musician. Very talented. I liked the amp a lot too

[@Swoop180]

Was very pleased to come across your video, I purchased one of these a couple of days ago, along with a Taylor 414ce L30. It has more than doubled my practice times moving up from a Fender amp and guitar. I'm in no way knocking Fender products because it wouldn't be fair since the guitar was just above an entry level, and the Taylor not so much Anyway, I think the key to becoming a better guitarist is the desire to want to practice more, and this new equipment has definitely achieved that. Enjoyed your video. God's speed. John C.

[@raylenewaye1663]

great performance and use of the amp Phil :) thanks!

Nothing puts a smile on a musician's face like hearing great music. Let the big goofy grins commence. :-)

[@rileycpo]

Yes all great pieces of work. It is just fun and enjoyable to sit and play like this. He was in Jax back in December and was great to see. Beyond Nature is my favorite. Riverton is a great song too.

[@SONGSTICKS]

Well.... you don't get any better than that for promoting sales !! Good move Roland, sending one to this guy :0) Totally inspiring !

Ahhh, you are amazing! Absolutely fantastic!

[@dennyferguson7854]

At last! A review that lets us hear the mic channel instead of concentrating on the guitar, because that’s what most buskers want an amp for.

Amazing guitar playing!

GREAT as per your usual Phil

Great demonstration, Phil Keaggy ! I was already thinking of getting one of them ..... so, i will ... I just wonder how it sounds when it comes to the nylon strings acoustic guitars. That's why I'll find a music shop to try it ... Thanks a lot anyway ! ... and you more than deserve that cup of tea ...

Sir...you are amazing fantastic....

[@1960beadie]

Hey Phil...me hopes you are on Roland's payroll...you have just sold this one on the AC-33...just wish I could make the guitar sound something close to what you can do! You are one hell of a muso! Thank you for sharing this...

[@dougger42]

Did you know you could lose a finger on an old-fashioned water pump? I think Phil has been using loopers since they were invented. He really shows what can be done with that roland looper, and even uses an extra foot switch for the effects. It does get a bit more expensive to get fancy with this amp, but I think it will be worth it.

[@gibbethoskins8621]

SOLD! To the man with drool around his mouth.

[@antoinepequignot4642]

Than k your for the demo , youre great !!

[@Mobile-Journalism]

Last met Phil at a guitar workshop in the Colorado mountains way back in 1984. A lot of fun to see him use two capos, a variety of strumming tools and octave pedal in addition to the amp and two Boss FS-6 pedals. I wonder if it is possible to switch on the fly from looping guitar to looping the vocals like he did here in two takes.

[@lteng5941]

Wow!..... just wow!!!
