Biography:
Phil Keaggy (born March 23, 1951) is a Christian guitarist, songwriter, and singer. Raised in a small farmhouse in Hubbard, Ohio with nine brothers and sisters, Keaggy began playing guitar at age ten on a Sears Silvertone guitar, despite missing half of the middle finger on his right hand due to an accident at age 4 involving a water pump.
He is frequently listed as one of the top fingerstyle guitarists by Guitar Player Magazine readers' polls, but he is equally at home on electric guitar.

Artist: Phil Keaggy
Song: Things I will Do
Album: Love Broke Through
Release Date: October, 1976
I originally learned this song from his now long out-of-print "The Phil Keaggy
Songbook." I've since lost that song book (ARRRGGGHH!)
I tabbed this from my memory, and have played against the record/CD. I think it sounds
pretty close.
