Yeah, the jam band scene is Kellers bread and butter ..... I first saw him play at a jam band festival a number of years back. It was the first time I saw anyone loop .... actually he looped a good bit more back then. Keller, on the other hand, credits Victor Wooten as the first person he saw loop. Speaking of which, I saw Bela fleck this past year. Every member of that group (minus the saxophonist) has a solo performance for every show. Victors was a long looped piece on the RC50. He managed to play all the parts to a Bela fleck song himself, then just float off into a bunch of fun looped jams. VW is amazing man. Anyway ... your right, the jam band scene has taken to looping pretty heavily now. There are a number of jam bands that use loop pedals. >From: Richard Sales <richard@glasswing.com> >Reply-To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com >To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com >Subject: Re: Keller Williams / jam bands/ rc50 >Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2006 09:48:14 -0800 > >Well...
