First came the Gotye cover by Walk Off The Earth in which five band members play “Somebody That I Used to Know” by using one guitar. Now, Kelley James ups the ante by having 6 band members, each with only one guitar string. Somehow, Kelley James and his crew make this look easy.
 
We spoke with the producer of the video, Greg Baroth, who explains “the idea was brought about by Kelley himself, as a response to the Walk Off the Earth cover of Gotye.” Curious how many takes they had to do to get it just right? Greg said only 5 or 6 takes!
 
 
 
Pretty cool stuff, guys! To see what these two have in store next, you can follow Kelley James on Twitter @YourBoyKJ and Producer, Greg Baroth @Gbaroth.
