depending on your rotation, you could possibly use a simple solution to detect if key is pressed on keyboard then use transforms translate. Assuming your transform(player) if pointing vector forward and rotating then you can easily do something like this.
C#

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class example : MonoBehaviour {
public Transform player;
    void Update() {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown("Q"))
            player.Translate(1f,0,0);

        if (Input.GetKeyDown("E"))
            player.Translate(-1f,0,0);
    }
}

Should be something like that if im not mistaken.
