Walking Backwards and Playing the Guitar

Keller Williams can really play the guitar, even while walking backwards. I'd never heard of him before today. He's got some real talent.




By the way, in the second song, he plays all the intruments. He bills himself as a one-man funk band.

    Dennis,

    I like it! Beautiful style. Nothin like the sound of an ole Martin, if a guy knows how to wield it. This guy definitely does!

    Thanks.

    -John

    Ps. Nice riffs on "freaker". Im a new fan!

    Yeah, freaker is nice. Walking backwards and playing without making mistakes or falling down probably isn't as easy as he made it look, either.

    The only reason I found this guy was because he's playing at a college in the next town over, and there was a blurb in the paper about him being a one-man funk band. So, off to YouTube I went.

      I'm sure. His playing on it would even be awesome frontward!

    Brandon - you knew about him, and you never posted him here before? For shame!

    Just kidding. Do you know how many instruments he plays?

      Hah ha... yeah, if I posted 1% of all the bands I like on here I'd never get any work done! I discovered him through Pandora... there's so much good music on there from lesser-known artists.

      I have no idea how many different instruments Keller plays, but I've seen multiple YouTube videos where he plays guitar, bass, and keyboard/drum machine all in the same song, looping the output from each instrument through a sampler. Amazing stuff.

        Pandora is great. I've discovered a lot of good music there myself.

        Feel free to add a few other artists to this thread if you have time.

      That ... um, song, I gues it was a song ... is one of the oddest songs I've ever heard. They've chosen an appropriate name for their band though.

      The concept is kind of funny, but I don't think I'd want to hear it very often.
