...and hot ("Time").
I think I speak for anyone who's tried to play guitar when I say that there should be some law against being able to play this well.
The Obama way, I suppose, would be to take 2-3 of his fingers together. Just, y'know, to make it fair.

Django Reinhardt proved that only 2 fingers are necessary. Agreed though, I struggle with a full hand.
There is no one better - and the amazing thing is he still keeps pumping out the music after 45 years.
One of the "47 things that amaze me about Phil Keaggy" is the size of his hands - he's a diminutive guy but he covers that fretboard like he has super long fingers.
I'll be seeing him in Topeka in a couple weeks. He often drops in here and plays at Kerry Livgren's church.
Terrif. Give him a copy of TWTG and say hi for me. Maybe he'll do a song with that title!
Ha! Not a bad song title! A song like that would need at least two good, long guitar solos. ;)
You can make it happen!
I remember Phil lost one of his fingers. Hasn't hurt his playing. Prior to losing my record collection in a house fire, I had an LP record of one of his live concerts playing with the Second Chapter of Acts. He played "Time," and the solo was amazing.
