That's amazing! I had breakfast with him! No kidding! It was just him and me in a big kitchen in a big restored barn called "Love Inn" in Freeville, NY. He didn't seem like a star at all. If I hadn't known who he was when we met (we were teen hippies that had hitchhiked into this town), he wouldn't have told us.. He just said "I'm Phil, are you hungry?" Another guy was talking to my friend so it was just Phil and I making PB&J. Phil is real and very humble.

Before we married, my husband & I used to listen to PK in 1982 while driving around Central PA. This song is so beautiful that it brought me to tears. Thank you, Phil, for despising the riches of the world, and counting the Cross a far greater glory. Found this video mix through listening to Dave Beedle, who I heard on Pandora. God Bless.

How come this isn't a nice song? Are you kidding me? this song is awesome!!

this song is one of the most beautiful creations in existence

From one of my top ten albums of all time - well, since the 60s anyway. He remains one of my two favourite guitarists (Steve Hackett). Not only does he have great technique, his prolific compositional output has a seam of beauty right through it.

Phil has much work that is soft and subtle like this beautiful one. You may listen to it one time and think it is nothing special. Listen to this one when you are in the right frame of mind and relaxation and you will be able to best appreciate it's flowing brilliance. 5/5 Stars any way you look at it IMHO.

Amazing guitar player. Incredible guy. I got to hang with Phil after a meet and greet about 20 years ago. Very humble man.

Great guitarist, warm instrument, soothing song. That Olson guitar sure sounds great.

Absolutely wonderful; real music by a real musician, playing a hand made guitar

One of THE greatest guitarists of our times. Such a humble man. Phil is one of those who should be held up as a model for our youth. I will never forget being 20 feet in front of him in 1985. Phil, an acoustic and one electric and a Galien-Kruegar small amp with Mic going through the excellent board provided by the host.

@wileypayote , That song is great, I remember the first time I heard it was through an audio clip he had recorded for LR Baggs. He noodled for 6 or so minutes. I'm 22 now, I was about 15 at the time and without money or much access to music, I held onto that clip for dear life. Anywho, part of it was the Castles Call part where it sounds like he's playing 2 separate parts at once. I told myself, "if I can learn that I'd be the best!". Well, I learned it haha, and I'm not the best :-)

Phil Keaggy music is so amazing🎶🎵 and beautiful ❤and how he plays it just amaze me❤😉🎶🎵🎸 Thank you for your music, Mr. Keaggy ! God bless your heavenly music !

May the lord bless you and keep you phil keaggy. You made my faith in the lord multiplied by thousands

A great collection of songs, Thanks for compiling. Fragile Forest is one of my favorite Keaggy acoustic songs.

Beautiful music from an amazing guitarist worthy of any accolade in recent years - beautifully played - Love it !!!

Pure. Flowing. A certain simplicity found in some other abstracts; like truth, and beauty.

Thank you, Mr. Keaggy! While I'm not a believer of god or a heaven, having your music here on earth has been an inspiration and has made the brief time that we're here much easier to withstand...

I still fall asleep and wake up to this song everyday of my life, probably for over 20 years now. Never gets old

I believe it is an Olsen guitar, which if I am not mistaken back in the day was a guy that made guitars out of Minnesota somewhere.

Wow thanks for uploading! Very peaceful music.

You can tell he goes to another place when he's playing ❤

oh my god,why dont such talented players like this get more exposure and recognition,although im not christian he really knows how to ''fell the music and he believes in what hes playing,truly magnificent

I love this tune. It sounds just the way it would if I were sitting at a dying camp fire or on a front porch in the mountains. Genius.

his moves across the strings are so smooth and graceful always

Amazingly beautiful!!🎶☀️

Have just discovered phil keaggy just superb a man to aspire to without doubt (not that many will get to his standard :-))Am totally awe struck when I watch him.

I also think this is a real gem. He definitely occupies a unique niche. There are lots of great acoustic players and great electric players, but few master each genre to the point he has. Some of electric playing he did in the 60's and 70's was light years ahead of others. Then he did "What a Day" which was a one man tour de force! " Master and the Musician" has some phenomenal songs.His sideman work was great. Listen to Paul Clark's Good to Be Home (on Spotify). Also, many more.

I love this song! I love it's lyrical question response development...so calm with sprinkles of harmonics, interplayed with pleasant melodies. Thanks for posting. \-)

One of my favourite instrumental albums and musicians! Thank you, Phil! God bless you!

Got to see him in concert Nice . Very humble Very talented

Thank God for Phil Keaggy. Phil is a great guitarist because he serve a great Lord. What we commit to God He does bless. DS

One of my favorite 😊

Always love listening to Phils guitar music he's great on electric and acoustic ive over the years had to collect his works particularly his guitar work alone is what I prefer!So when master and musician album came out grabbed it fast !Still have it but anything with him playing is great stuff to listen to at certain times!

phil does ballet with his fingers on the fretboard: graceful, melodic, harmonic, and with great skill.

That song just made my world a little better. Thank you!:)

One of my favorites by him, thanks for posting.

The tuning is EG#EG#BC#. This song is relatively easy to learn compared to other Phil, it's just getting the style and feel down that's tough. This song touched me the most off anything on Beyond Nature. It may not hold up to March of the Clouds but I would put this in my Top10 instrumental-wise. Absolute brilliance

Beautiful piece of music. Phil, pure bliss!! K.

It's amazing what he can do with one guitar. His songs always sound like they're double tracked.

one of the guitar masters of our day indeed!

the one i've been looking for from mr keaggy!!! lovely!

An accident with a water pump behind his family's farmhouse when he was 4 years of age. The pump fell on it, and damaged it enough to require amputation. It never slowed the man down, God bless him. Such an inspiring player.

man this guy is awesome, how is it that i never heard of this man before today.... really beautiful relaxing music , i've just eaten to this usic and i must say i feel really chilled and very content :D thanks for sharing this uploader peacski

Like David playing music to soothe Saul,this is so good thank you !

Phil just wow.Thanks.

Beyond Nature - probably one of the greatest albums of all time. Great job, Phil. p.

somewhere there's two bunnies making sweet love in the forest.

great music Phil Keaggy, PraiseHim! thanks, many blessings : )

He plays so well, even acoustic guitars sound like they have effects on them

@chuiiadam I love Castle's Call/Pilgrim's Flight. That song is brilliant. I feel like I'm at some weird hippie christian renassaince fair or something.

I love the part he plays for about 20 seconds from around the 2 minute mark. Beautiful!! I want to learn that part.

yer completely, and the wind and the wheat was a treat to the ears as soon as i heard it.

Phil Keaggy will be at the right hand of king David in Gods orchestra

part of a water pump fell on it when he was a kid.The old farmhouse kind of water pump.

I am a believer and your comment is probly one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.

he has a couple of tab books available for purchase at most music stores

beautiful Song

@SRVblueshero1 He mentions that it is in the same tuning as the song "I will sing" off his What a Day Album. Fragile Forest actually opens with the same tag as I Will Sing. Also, it is in one of his acoustic guitar books, highly recommended

There's also more to music than whether or not it impresses. It's very tempting to try and impress all the time, rather than focus on making music that more or less accurately expresses ideas, feelings, etc. Keaggy actually said (I think in one of his music books, Acoustic Solos, or something similar) that he didn't feel anything he did was completely original. There are people who invent stories, and there are people who can tell them well.

His guitar sounds so bright and magical.

Mr. Keaggy is a great guitarist. I actually went and saw him play about 2 weeks ago.

This is a preview of Heaven Music!

Meraviglia.

Phil Keaggy is a living example of God's "(Master) Craftsmanship", both in music, and indeed.

You should hear Phil play a Les Paul- equally impressive!

So good

I just had lunch with him. It WAS AWSOME!!!!

He uses the whole guitar doesn't he? Lennie Breaux

Nice song name

thanks, bro... peace~

love u ur, a gift from god!

@ablessedservant After some research I decided it must be the Acoustic Style video/book he made. It's still available in his store on DVD! It is currently the only item on my Christmas list. (;

you aer real classic

I have been unsuccessful at a video response... but if you guys care to hear. I just uploaded a version of this tune with me playing. :)

@F35B2009 I agree, this song decribes God better than anything I've ever heard. Or maybe more than anything the life of Jesus.

@F35B2009 Agreed!

magic is ancient sin. "For they have not repented of their magical arts." Meaning if we've committed one sin we've committed a whole slew of sins. i repent i my magical arts. Biblically stated. Bless The One True Immanu'El.

Agreed.

If Phil's not playing in Heaven, I'm not going. :-)

I still think "March Of The Clouds" is one of Mr. Keaggys best works from "The WInd And The Wheat" album

Personally, I also want to try and move away from the drive to rate people as good or better (hard as this is to do), and try to listen to what others have to say musically--some real gems can come from what we may have thought were unlikely places.

He is. :D

Why is there no studio versions of this around?!?!!?

buautiful

@ZentetsukenVII True that

Does anyone know what kind of guitar phil is playing?

Anyone know the source of these videos? Was it a live VHS he sold or something?

wow how were you able to figure out the tuning?

@Dirtyshamable That'll be all the chorus he has on it.

I cant find keaggy tabs anywhere, please help

does anybody know the tuning for this song?

Brilliant guitarist who’s style imitates no one…. Although he does sound a bit like McCartney

Phil make it look easy........but we know

not even through google ?

Thanks for posting the video but I must disagree with you. I think this is one of his best songs.

good joke. the only "Kansas" Phil is associated with is Leawood, Kansas. this is Phil Keaggy, not Phil Ehart.

Not bad but his other stuff gets a LOT better.

"Isn't as nice as some of the others..."? wow... but there are a few better ones out there...
