Phil Keaggy is the Masterful Musician!
I haven't watched all of the videos yet. I was hoping for a little more in depth instruction from Mr. Keaggy, but I'll take ANYTHING from Phil Keaggy. His testimony and his playing have been an influence on my life and my playing for 45 years. I'm self taught as well, but I'm just now at a point where I can half way understand what he's doing!! It's not the same kind of instruction compared to others that I have bought--Robben Ford, Brent Mason and Tommy Emmanuel. . . but I'll glean everything I can from Mr. Keaggy! I got this package while it was on sale and it's well worth the money--at least for me!
