Exclamation What is the easiest Phil Keaggy song to learn?

Made a bet with one of my professors that I could play a Keaggy song. Been looking at his stuff on you tube and it's not a level of play question for me, but a concern of how long would it take me to learn this...So a shorter song would be preferred. Thanks for any suggestions!

a song without a Kapo would be nice too.

Many moons ago, I learned his version of "Rise Up Oh Men Of God". It used a lot of power chords, believe it or not. Not terribly difficult. See if you can find it.

I'd start with Agora from Master and the Musician.

"Carefree" is a fun little swing piece with some nice changes.

This looks like a good one, actually. It's called County Down and Phil even shows you how to play it. Good luck!

It doesn't get much easier than this (when talking about PK songs)

or if they consider that cheating, Tennessee Morning is one of his easier tracks that is still clearly Phil, IMO

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Cwrk8tzFR4 (the album version isn't as complicated, and no capo)


Warm as Tears is a good one too:

Just a Moment Away isn't too hard, you just have to get the intro and simple little solo thing down, but they aren't too hard.

The stuff off Sunday's Child isn't too hard at all.
