King's talents began to catch on within the music industry, and more artists became interested in using King as a guitarist on their tracks. In 2007, she was featured as a guest guitarist on The Con, an album by Canadian indie-pop/rock band Tegan and Sara, released on July 24, 2007. She appears on the tracks “Knife Going In”, playing lap steel, and on “Floorplan”, playing guitars. Both songs were written by Sara Quin.She is also featured on Northern State's 2007 album, Can I Keep This Pen? on the track "Fall Apart".King guested as a guitarist on the track "Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners" from the Foo Fighters' studio album, entitled Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, released on September 25, 2007, and on November 18, 2007 she joined Dave Grohl on stage to perform the track at the O2 arena in London. With fellow musicians like Serj Tankian and Jimmy Page in attendance, Grohl is quoted as saying: “There are some guitar players that are good and there are some guitar players that are really fucking good. And then there's Kaki King.”
On January 14, 2008, she appeared at a Breakfast with the Foo Fighters hosted by Kevin and Bean from KROQ-FM, a commercial radio station located in Los Angeles, California. There she performed "Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners". Grohl jokingly stated that he is "molding her to take his place." She then went on tour with the Foo Fighters on the Australian leg of the Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace tour.
