Ripping picking technique, and then he starts looping stuff.

He's very popular with the festival crowds, and jams with everyone it seems. I get the impression he actually is a genius, but an erratic one that would probably drive me nuts; and yet you can't try to organize a player like this. You have to let him run wild and just catch all the music that spills out.

Seen him live and played on the same bill as him years ago for the High Times Festival when it was here in Austin. :D. Super nice guy. Super talented. Gotta be in the mood for this style though. :)

Yeah, Keller's pretty cool, super talented dude and he puts on a hell of a show. I saw him a number of years ago in a small auditorium, it was great. Definitely agree with Telephant though about having to be in the right mood.
