Customer Review A Master Musician Like the first disk, it is a collection of "sketches", with a few fully developed songs, in which Phil uses six different guitars, the JamMan, and light percussion. Freehand is the second part of the Acoustic Sketches series. As always, Spanish, classical, Irish, folk, and blues influences are heard throughout his guitar work. It has a live feel as we listen to how Phil plays his musical ideas in these creative guitar "sketches". Freehand also includes video clips of Phil playing. He plays melodic and smooth or fast and freewheeling, but always with incredible skill. It's easy listening, but not background music. Once again, Phil Keaggy has delivered another outstanding instrumental showcase of his creativity and immense talent as a guitarist. .
