Imagine having an incredibly stressful day at work, you get home, kick your shoes off, take off your tie that you hate wearing, remember you have 6 ice cool beers in the fridge, grab one, sit on the couch, flick youtube on and find out Greg Koch is at TPS doing his new fancy pedal demo for 1 hour 7 minutes and 56 seconds. Well, that's me right now and everything is suddenly blissful. Thanks TPS. Thank you so much!!
@@cannedheat67 I know man! Tell me about it. What a guy he is. Legend. Its not often I see Dan short of stuff to say but he couldn't stop laughing haha. I'm a HUGE Noel Gallagher and Jonny Marr fan but this video tops them both. Superb.
Saw him in Sheffield last night, he's a mindblowing guitarist. As a player of 30 years myself there are the players you hear where you go 'I can do that', the players where you go 'I know what they're doing but it's a bit beyond me', and then players like Greg where you're just like 'what the hell was that' 😂🔥
It is the staccato technique I think and the out of nowhere jazz chords. he just knows the fretboard so well he can make those crazy runs with supreme confidence. he is great
I have also been a player more than 30 years and I agree. Every once in a while he does something that absolutely blows me away and leaves me wondering what my hands are even for.
Well put, man..! He definitely has that effect, some stuff you figure you'd cheat your way in a bit and get by, but some things he does, do feel absolutely out of reach... By just about the same distance as the difference in length between my hands and his. Well, if inches were miles that is..!
The way Greg’s sense of humor comes out through his playing really makes him a joy to listen to. In everything he plays there’s a little wink in there if you pay attention.
I've been guzzling koch (content) for 6 or 7 years, and his playing is the most genuine example of an "extension of personality" on the market. Absolute goofball, will also melt your face off.
I didn't know anything about Greg at all, never heard of him until this episode. Over one hour, he became one of my favorite players. His talent, his humor, are just amazing. Cheers guys for a great episode, totally love it!
Scaaaaary fast mind that reflects on his playing. Admiration, frustration, astonishment, awe, and intense laughter all at the same time. Unique in every sense of the word.
I had the pleasure of growing up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and have been listening to Greg's gorgeous playing for over 30 years now - just an incredible player and great guy! Shoutout to my boy Matt Turner who plays with Greg as well!!
All I have to say is when Greg is on the show. I can't stop laughing. My mouth hurts, my cheeks hurts! I start crying from laughter! I wish you guys would put a reel together of all Greg's best moments on your show. So I can watch it over and over again, especially when you're depressed. He just makes me laugh all the time love Em. Love you guys a Merry Christmas from the USA!
Greg Koch is a musician in which guitar style truly matches his personality. Nobody is as entertaining as he is. He’s an amazing and one of a kind guitar player, always full of surprises when you watch his performances.
I just love Greg Koch..! Near infinite guitar skills and knowledge, never preachy, always funny, seem like a genuinely great dude... Awesome episode gents, many thanks!
It doesn't matter how many times I see clips or interviews with Greg, he just blows me away every single time. I've been playing on and off for 20 years and there's no greater motivation than watching him for 5 minutes. His style is never going to be the most commercially popular, but he's surely the talent of his generation, absolutely peerless.
I was lucky enough to see Greg and the Mighty KMT twice on their recent UK/England tour and I haven't stopped smiling since............. Thank you KMT & TPS
to me greg is the epitome of having fun playing guitar and is one of the most talented and creative players who ever lived. his brain and fingers are always running on all cylinders with two turbos on max boost. i'd love to spend time talking and jamming with him in real life some day. i'm sure it would be a very memorable experience.
Greg is such a cool guy. How the heck do you guys film this and not just be rolling on the FLOOR??? What a great dude, and truly a guitar players guitar player.
It was a pleasure seeing Greg Koch and his band two nights ago at The Jam House. Always one of my all time favourite guitarists and I am glad you guys made another video with him.
Wow!!! Aside from how incredible Greg's playing is, and aside from how funny his commentary is, I just love how he inserts humor into his playing. Bravo!!!
The way this dude talks about tone and pedals and playing it's like the Stewart Copeland of guitar. What a blast. And what a piece of art @ jam pedals.. whoa. Just got the ripple phaser - my first dive into jam. Can't wait to hear it.
This video is full of SOOOO much JOY! I would love to sit in a room with him for just one evening. I can only imagine how much laughter there would be. ALSO It just hit me that I have been watching and engaged in this show for YEARS, and this is why. You guys continually put out amazing videos time after time year after year. Thank you guys for what you do! What a great way to rest and relax. Cheers mates!
Greg Koch is one of the most versatile and phenomenal musicians in my hit parade!!! If he stopped playing guit he could have a successful career as a stand-up comedian.
Greg is the whole entire package. He’s a treasure chest full of great guitar playing with some great tech tricks mixed in and shiny gems of humor sprinkled about to make it all sparkle. So entertaining! Thank you TPS. Love it all!!!
I love it when a person's personality matches their playing. Its like he says whatever immediately comes into his brain and that's what his playing is like. It WORKS and its hysterical
Sir Koch of Gristledom!! Greg has such a large arsenal of runs, turns, progressions, and tones to pull from on a fraction of thought. AND...he can be entertaining just holding a guitar and talking. I never once thought...just hush and play. Great show!!
That was by far the best response to not using digital effects I’ve ever heard 😂 It’s like you got your dad who just told everyone straight! Just love him, great episode 👏👏
Greg is the guitarist’s guitarist. I’ve watched him groove and simmer, and I’ve seen him shred. 2 notes, or 100 notes, Greg will scorch your eyebrows off.
Thanks mates! Ladies & gentlemen: *Greg Koch* the funniest man in music! Cheers from the rainy Pac NW! Thanks everyone bringing this TPS episode to the "interwebs".
Man, Greg seems like the nicest human and the greatest person to be around. He's the epitome of good times around some beers and listening to great music and great guitar.
Thanks for having Greg Koch on the show..! He is truly a fantastic player and entertainer. I will certainly play this show at half speed to try to learn something. Great show!
I’d love to have 5 mins of my life being able to play like Greg, just to know what it’s like. He really does project his personality through his playing, probably more so than anybody else.
The only thing more interesting in this world than Greg's huge personality and humor is his playing he the total package !!!!! thanks for sharing guys I needed this laugh :)
Saw the Trio rip the face off the crowd at the Open Chord in Knoxville a couple years ago. I stood 50 feet back and it was, as GK would say, glorious. Thanks for making your way and sending those wonderous guitar vibes out into our atmosphere down here!!
The oratory stylings and guitar playing of Mr. Greg Koch have similar characteristics in that they are both clever, skillful, hilarious, full of surprises, relentless and artistic.
I’ve only seen Greg on the Wild Wood Guitar videos and while I could tell he is a funny cat, this video is a hoot. Needs to have his own show for comedy mixed with jams. Maybe there are concert videos where he does concert as well. New quest. Think I’m in my 4th viewing of this, so cool.
Indeed! When I lived down the street from Wildwood's original store in downtown Louisville, It was always a treat when the Gregory Kochery Show was in town!
Greg is a monster player! He can play so many different styles, and he is the funniest dude on the planet! His intelligence and humour come through in his playing, tis a wonder to behold! Such a treat! Kochtastic!
Saw the man himself last night at The Greystones in Sheffield. A glorious chewy tone fest, and some absolute laugh out loud coz it’s that good playing!
Never seen him live but have watched several videos of him with his band. One standout was when he had David Grissom guesting. DG is probably my favourite guitarist of the moment but Greg was making him work to keep up. Some phenomenal playing and plenty of smiles as the two swap licks. Well worth watching if you can find it on RUclips.
It amazes me that anything can actually gets done when he's around, just have to strap in and enjoy wherever he takes the ride. I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Last time Koch Marshall Trio came around with Eric Gales I ended up having to work that night and was absolutely bummed out.
Greg is either the best hidden secret of guitar mastery ever I've known and been a hardcore fan since I was a kid and he continues to blow my mind every time I see him displaying his guitar sorcery it's absolutely amazing

There aren't too many videos on youtube as a whole, where you - instead of skipping ahead - want to hit rewind...This is one of those.
my psychic is going to tattoo this comment onto my sons face
@@TheDingledong4lyfe
Last night, I saw a young stripper, with this tattooed on her back, and part of her front too.
on my 4th watch of the first 2 minutes🤣
Amen to that. Greg Koch is a force of nature, both guitar-wise and his sense of humour.
Yep
The 'digital dude' rant is such a highlight.. needs it's own RUclips short please. Thanks, Greg; you're always epic.
Yes please, from 43:43 to 44:26. Please.
@@doftyaits awesome
@@jeremyversusjazz And true!!
I wanna give the digital dude rant an extra like and subscribe
I think he's needed to get that off his chest for a while.

That was the shortest 1:07:56 of my life. Did not want it to end.

Yesss. Absolutely. Cheers mate 🤙
well said!
100%
Greg is easily the most entertaining interviews for any guitar channel to have on.
And quite possibly the best guitarist they'll ever have on too.
Nice attempt at an interview gentlemen. Greg Kock interviews himself. His train of thought is spiderweb of chaos.
😂😂 he DOES interview himself! Perfectly said! And what an interview! 😂😎
It's truly amazing what a diet of too much TV and too much protein can do!
Saw him in Sheffield last night, he's a mindblowing guitarist. As a player of 30 years myself there are the players you hear where you go 'I can do that', the players where you go 'I know what they're doing but it's a bit beyond me', and then players like Greg where you're just like 'what the hell was that' 😂🔥
Saw him in Birmingham the night before, exactly this. Makes you realise there are so many leagues above where we have reached
Same here; saw him in Birmingham and had many, many I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING RIGHT THERE moments. A joyous evening, it has to be said.
It is the staccato technique I think and the out of nowhere jazz chords. he just knows the fretboard so well he can make those crazy runs with supreme confidence. he is great
I have also been a player more than 30 years and I agree. Every once in a while he does something that absolutely blows me away and leaves me wondering what my hands are even for.

Greg's playing is a wonderful extension of his personality. Always a true pleasure to watch
Yeah...create a short of that 😂
Saw him play this week, I honestly think for £15 I saw the best player there is right now for that type of music. Terrific band and a terrific guy.
Greg is honestly one of the most accomplished and charismatic guitarists out there
I had the pleasure of growing up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and have been listening to Greg's gorgeous playing for over 30 years now - just an incredible player and great guy! Shoutout to my boy Matt Turner who plays with Greg as well!!
I'm not even five minutes in and my belly already hurts from laughing. Greg Koch, national treasure, global delight and an absolute warlock on the axe
All I have to say is when Greg is on the show. I can't stop laughing. My mouth hurts, my cheeks hurts! I start crying from laughter!

It's probably, the best TPS that I've seen, ever. Amazing Dude, the power of music through him.
Gosh, you can’t not love this man and his playing. 🙌🏼
What a remarkable human being. Always a pleasure to bask in his magnitude.
It doesn't matter how many times I see clips or interviews with Greg, he just blows me away every single time.

Saw Jimmy Hall at the Exit Inn in Nashville way back when. His "I'm Happy That Love Has Found You" is one of my favorite songs.
Ty. Was waiting for this episode and pedal overview from TPS’ perspective
I was lucky enough to see Greg and the Mighty KMT twice on their recent UK/England tour and I haven't stopped smiling since............. Thank you KMT & TPS
Greg is unequaled in his guitar skills and spontaneous humor. He’s the only one I know who can express his humor through his guitar. Greg Kock Rocks!
Every time I see Greg, no matter the venue or context, I am simply gobsmacked.
Thanks to you, Mick and Dan!
The most creative, hilarious and spontaneous man on RUclips who can comp tunes on command endlessly with god-tier chops 🤩
For a second from the side profile, I thought Dan was Marty Schwartz. LOL Great video, love that Reverend ST!
"At the end of time, there will be telecasters and cockroaches". He's a blend of Gregg Allman and Robin Williams; love it!
to me greg is the epitome of having fun playing guitar and is one of the most talented and creative players who ever lived. his brain and fingers are always running on all cylinders with two turbos on max boost. i'd love to spend time talking and jamming with him in real life some day. i'm sure it would be a very memorable experience.
I saw the Koch Marshall Trio last night in Sheffield and got to witness the majesty of Greg and the Kochness Monster in person. an unforgettable night
Greg is the absolute best! He always cheers me up and plays great! Thank you for being you!
Greg is a great guy! I’ve run sound for the Koch-Marshall trio a few times and they’re always super kind and great guys to be around
This is the least surprising thing I've read online.
Yes! The world is a better place for having the Gregster in it.
Love the decibel meter going off the the charts during his tirade on melting faces and scorched earth stage performances. Top notch!
What a fantastic way to start my Friday morning 🎸 ! Thanks Mick, Dan, and Greg!!!!
This show with Greg was the first time I have ever watched an episode of TPS twice. He's so damn hilarious. And it was good for my corns as well.
I’m so bummed I haven’t watched this yet. Best guitar talk trio
Greg's domain of the guitar is off the charts. Undoubtedly one of the best performers of the instrument, ever. Like it or not, believe it or not.
Best guest on the best show on You Tube.
Pre-ordered the Blues album.
Can’t wait.
Greg is such a cool guy. How the heck do you guys film this and not just be rolling on the FLOOR??? What a great dude, and truly a guitar players guitar player.
Greg is one-of-a-kind and a true treasure in the music world, good to see him back at TPS!

Greg is a verbal & musical healer, flooded with serotonin every time I listen! 😂
‘A verbal and musical healer’ - I love that! And I 100% agree!

a reminder that music is and should be fun! play with a smile and make others grin! lovely stuff
Greg is such a seemingly fun and inspirational person. I hope he is always as happy inside as he is outside.
He loves his family and they love him back. He’s a winner.
Greg is the guitarist’s guitarist. I’ve watched him groove and simmer, and I’ve seen him shred. 2 notes, or 100 notes, Greg will scorch your eyebrows off.

Greg is in rare form for this interview. I can't tell you how much I enjoy hearing him play and be interviewed.
Thanks for having Greg Koch on the show..!
He is truly a fantastic player and entertainer.
I will certainly play this show at half speed to try to learn something.
Great show!
I get so much joy watching Dan try to keep it together whenever Greg opens his mouth. 😂😂😂
Greg talking and Greg playing is literally the same thing. And seeing him with a tremolo was awesome.
I’d love to have 5 mins of my life being able to play like Greg, just to know what it’s like. He really does project his personality through his playing, probably more so than anybody else.
One of my favorite comedians.
I'm questioning myself: Do I get this much energy from anything I do? Fantastic...
You wish lol. Need more gristle my friend. Chew it.
A true modern virtuoso. The gristle master.
Damn that man is BIG. I'm only two minutes in and wife wants to know if I'm having a seizure or laughing! Thank you guys!
Hahahahah!
We hope it’s the latter by the way….
Greg is a wonder of the world and so damn fun.
The only thing more interesting in this world than Greg's huge personality and humor is his playing he the total package !!!!! thanks for sharing guys I needed this laugh :)
If you are able to put genuine humor and madness in your phenomenal guitar playing, then you are probably Greg Koch.
Gotta love Greg! What a cool guy and amazing guitar player!

What a master of sounds...taking nothing away from TPS hosts but man oh man Greg is the bees knees

One of the best tailor made by God himself to bless us with daily Wildwood clips of Gristlebliss.
Indeed! When I lived down the street from Wildwood's original store in downtown Louisville, It was always a treat when the Gregory Kochery Show was in town!
Greg Koch is the best. A day with Greg has to be exhausting . 😂 Great episode !
33:48 “windswept & sensitive… schnoidles in the background” Mick Taylor trying not to cry with laughter - this is the TPS we came for❤
Watching this after checking some demos of the bassman tonemaster is a refreshing reality bath.
Greg Koch you are one of the funniest people I have ever heard. And your guitar playing is outstanding and inspiring.
Greg is a monster player! He can play so many different styles, and he is the funniest dude on the planet! His intelligence and humour come through in his playing, tis a wonder to behold! Such a treat! Kochtastic!

I am 10 mins in and this might be the best thing on RUclips
25:30 “it seems weird to say My Brand Is Gristle” 😂😂 that’s the record name you were looking for… goodness me Mr Kochery is such a joy to behold.
Aaaand, we can add Greg to the list of folks who make Dan cry... :D The Dude brings joy and laughter wherever he goes. Cheers, Boys.
Mick cracking up the whole time is great 😂
I agree....
I could listen to Greg all day long! Such mastery of the fretboard is seldom seen this side of Valhalla, great show again leg ends, nailed it 🤘🏽

Love greg koch. The genre palate is so broad and you gotta love the personality when he talks and when he plays.
This is a magic end to a very long week. I'm going to pour a cool beer and enjoy this.
that dude is funny as hell and plays like a badass !!!!!!!!!! music and comedy gold - love the guy and cant wait for new album
It amazes me that anything can actually gets done when he's around, just have to strap in and enjoy wherever he takes the ride. I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Last time Koch Marshall Trio came around with Eric Gales I ended up having to work that night and was absolutely bummed out.
57:08 Dan, you're speaking for all of us! Greg has to be one of the, if not the most talented person to ever touch the instrument!
What a great set of skills and incredible memory - all while he’s being hilarious and insane !!
Please come to Australia to make some music 😊
Greg is either the best hidden secret of guitar mastery ever I've known and been a hardcore fan since I was a kid and he continues to blow my mind every time I see him displaying his guitar sorcery it's absolutely amazing
The Lord of Gristle himself, one of the best of all time👏🏻
