    Greg Koch plays a very interesting intro, while Josh Smith plays a directly stunning slow blues solo, where his fusion between blues and country really seems inspired. How thankful i am, that I suddenly through RUclips can have all this incredible music "live" in my living room, thousand miles away in cold Denmark.

    Been a fan of Greg's for a long time and his awesome dry humor and his "grissle" that he plays. Josh also has become one of my favorites as well. Josh can out play a lot of todays
    Artists. He plays so unabashedly with all the vim-n-vigor that he can muster. Truly a masterful feel for the Tele. Love it guys, keep pluckin those teles. Still waitin to see "Festis Magcrackin

    Both great guitar players. Greg and Josh each have vast catalogs of chops. And each can easily cross over amongst genres. There is a great video of Pete Thorn and Tim Pierce interviewing Josh - and Josh just goes to places with his playing on that vid that are crazy. Greg has always been a favorite. And unlike some of the folks that have made comments here, I enjoy Greg's ability to laugh at himself, music, the world, etc. Kudos to both men; they are at the top of the guitar playin' pantheon these days.

    Both are incredible players, no doubt. I agree with the guy below who says he feels Greg Koch's silliness takes him out of the moment...I've always found it a distraction. But I've never heard him play like this. Incredible tone and control over bends, love the tone of the snapping strings. What a badass. And there are no words for Josh Smith.
