Do you know what I like the most at the internet, music and culture?

The fact that there is so much out there of any of these that you can discover something new each and every day, no matter how many things you have seen, there is always something that can give you the thrills when you least expect it.

Today I was reading something about Sungha Jung that led me to something about Andy McKee and then…Phil Keaggy.

Well, I have listened a few songs of Phil Keaggy and beside the fact that, even if missing half of his middle finger on the right hand he managed to become a great guitar player, with over 30 albums, what amazes me is his music quality, his feeling for those little things, details that make or break a melody.

I posted here Salvation Army Band because I could not believe my ears how beautifully he makes use of those live loops, creating such a beautiful song with just one acoustic guitar. For what he does here you don’t need skills. What you need is pure talent. Listen to all those nuances and shades of his guitar.

You know what? After listening this, I can not call him guitar player anymore. I will just call him AN ARTIST.

Please have patience to listen to the whole song since he managed to surprise me every 60 seconds

It is said that Eric Clapton was asked once what it feels like to be the best guitarist in the world. His response was simple, “I don’t, know ask Phil Keaggy.”
