Ten years after releasing his first album, Hastings, England-based folk guitarist Tom Williams<\/a><\/strong> was feeling stuck. \u201cI found myself creatively hemmed in by the precedent of a decade of my own music. It took me a while to realize I didn\u2019t need to add to it, I needed to start again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For his latest record, Follow The Leader<\/em>,<\/a><\/strong> Williams ventured beyond his acoustic roots, adding drum machines, electric guitars, and synthesizers and combining elements of acoustic folk and driving pop rock in a manner that evokes Radiohead\u2019s OK Computer<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, Williams performs \u201cLittle Did We Know\u201d on a 1950s Gibson J-200<\/a>, a guitar he bought sight-unseen online, hoping for a Gibson with a double pickguard. After the performance, Williams breaks down the song\u2019s chord progression and picking pattern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
