Probably the best all round guitarist alive. His playing is so clean yet never robotic or 'over played'. He never ceases to amaze me
You could very well be right about that,personally I think you could make a case for chris cain or Walter trout too. Dont forget warren haynes
I'm a huge walter trout fan and have seen him live many many times, but he is a straight up plectrum using blues player. In technical or musical terms, he's not within a million miles of Koch. Cain is a fine player and more versatile than Walter, but again, just not is the same league as Greg.
I think he is. Just found him a few months ago. He's only one of a few guitarists that have really wowed me in the last several years, Paul Gilbert and Tommy Emmanuel being the others. There are plenty of inventive, flashy players, but can they combine so many classic styles and diverse techniques and deliver a ton of tight grooves, while deftly quoting other guitar gods, as if he's some jazz age marvel? His discipline and tone control are impressive, plus he's a total showman, and funny as hell. Having a good time yourself really enhances a crowd's ability to.
I'd maybe stick Guthrie Govan in that list too
I m so happy that Greg Is finally getting the attention he deserves
I had the pleasure of taking a couple private lessons from Greg and generally being around him on a regular basis when he was teaching at my college (sadly I was only going for an associate's degree so I didn't get to take his upper-level Music Interp classes), and I've figured out two things about him:
1. The depth of his mastery of the guitar is practically a Library of Congress of chord voicings, licks, and techniques. I'd put not only his playing, but his musical brain, up against any other player out there.
2. His crazy personality and sense of humor in just about every video of him isn't an act. He's legitimately like that at all times. 😂
He has so many styles that it would never get boring. That's a true master. The Wilwood vids make me laugh and when he plays I slow it down, What the hell was that he just did lol, Thank God for 1/2 speed on youtube, with his playing you need it .
Greg koch lives in my neighborhood I have seen him dozens and dozens of times he is truly a master of the guitar and a funny funny dude!!!!!!!
Cool!
Slick Mic Tosa power walks 🎶🚶🏻♂️
Actually he could do a all nighter on techniques alone
Where u live ??
Mine too. Amazing player and a gentleman as well. And....for those unaware, that's his son Dylan on drums.
This guy can play anything anyone else can play only better . The cat is out of his mind good . Never a dull moment .He was born to entertain long fingers and hibred picking .His son is great ,too.
His Fishman pickup demo is hillarious... and amazing.
Wow, never heard of him but mightily impressed for sure. I was noticing the strength in his ring finger. Amazing technical abilities. Thanks as usual Fil. So many great players out there.
👍☺
He needs his own Genre.. "Koch and Roll" 😎
Brilliant!!
😂
A-Z of technique.
Well said. Great review.
Joe Bonamassa praises Koch as “pound for pound the best guitar player in the world today."
Yeah!
Leif Wallin Greg's the best guitar player in the world over six-and-a-half feet tall!
Greg Koch is brilliant . Definitely in the top 10 Guitarists of all time .
The one guy who can bombard you all day long with guitar "technique" yet still keep you endlessly entertained, amused, smiling, in awe and happy. Stunning, a true one off! 😊
Great detailed review, as always, Fil. Your channel is tops- entertaining and educating people out there on great artists and their music.
Fun Fact: at about the 6:10 mark, Greg started playing the Magic Sam tune, Sam's Boogie(live clip on RUclips from 1969). Greg never ceases to amaze and always pull in melodic ideas like a jazz player.
My tele just gave me a sideways glance of annoyance and climbed back in its case slamming the lid in disapproval .... I start kazoo lessons tomorrow.
That was funny!!!
Electric kazoo? XD
My tele just farted in my general direction. It has never shown such blatant disrespect like that before.
LOL!!
@@futuredirected Well I always say that s the problem with Fenders, buy an Ibanez,
The Gristle Master at work! A true warrior of both the night and the day!
Greg Koch is known for both guitar virtuosity and corn-pone humor, sometimes simultaneously displayed.
There IS a bass player,! Check out Marshal's feet! Mad respect for the organist.
Discovered this guy this past year and was blown away by his skill as well as his personality. One of kind!
Hes also very humble.he studied a stevens point conservatory Wisconsin.He sais all he has done is put his time in that what contributes to crazy skills.I also am convinced he is the most polished player on the planet.
I been a fan for around 15 years, Greg and Govan are the best ever
Greg is incredible. Glad you covered him.
That was a real treat, thanks Fil. Wow
saw this band last night for the first time and man, they were smokin'!
Yea love Greg absolute beast and funny as heck .glad he's finally getting some much deserved attention!!!
Found Koch on facebook when first joined been a fan since then.. great PLAYER!!
My goodness what a great guitar player. He covers some really good techniques. Thanks for airing this great guitarist.
👍☺
Huge Greg Koch fan...he makes it all look so easy...
Hands down my most watched youtube player and favorite guitarist of today. Greg can do all styles not just to get away with it but master it.
I grew up in the same town as Greg. I have seen him perform hundreds of times over the years, even shared the stage with him...( very intimidating individual) and I mean that in a good way. He is super cool. Our hidden jem is finally getting the recognition he so deserves!
One of the best players I have ever seen. He lives right down the road from me in Wauwastosa, Wisconsin.
Really I enjoy every video u share on youtube !
Thanks!
Great picking' and style. A force of nature. Technique off the wall. Kudos and bravo! Everyone cooks like crazy! Awesome piece of music. Thanks Fil. Great video. Much enjoyed. I'm going to check out their video....Paul
A most worthy successor to the much missed Danny Gatton.
He would've put a helluva grin on Danny's face.
First I've heard of him. Thanks for the introduction. Will research him more.
Keep doing what you're doing. Appreciate it.
Thanks Aaron!
Aaron Link check out Greg's Wildwood vids
@@charlespatrick8650 Will do. Thx
He lives right down the road from me in Wisconsin. So good it's hard to believe, and he is one of the funniest guys around. Fantastic player. I enjoyed your analysis on this video. Thanks!
Fill, you are truly the man. Thanks for reviewing The Gristle Master. I first heard him back in the early 1990s and was pretty well floored. All the years later, his playing has only gotten better. One of the greats, IMHO. The KM Trio is awesome and I hope there is more to come.
Cool!
He's from my home state! Hello Wisconsin! Man the dude can freaking play!!! Great as always Fil! ROCK!!!!
Thanks! 🤘
Thanks that was a treat.
So much better than the millions shredders! virtuosity, soul,taste and a huge sense of humor Great!
Thanks for highlighting so many great guitarists. I’m sorry to say I spent most of my life in Milwaukee/Wauwatosa and never got around to hearing Greg play. I will have to remedy that situation.
👍
Hello Fill ! ! ! Good to see you and everyone else...
Hello! 🤘
amazing sense of groove... not to be forgotten
I re-discovered Greg during the pandemic. My band used to play the same area and I remember him from back in the day. Not as much hair as back then (either one of us) but I remember stealing so may chops from him by watching him live. I love the way he plays. His band the Koch, Marshall Trio plays live on RUclips every other Saturday night at 5pm CDT. I highly recommend tuning in. All three of them are masters. Also, check out "Greg Kock Outtakes" on youtube. His personality is as insane as his playing!
Check out his bending techniques and the fact that he pretty much plugs straight into the amp. Very few pedals and effects.
Playing... great. Hat... AWESOME! ... Seriously, though, everyone talks about Greg's various picking and "countrified" playing but I think he matches even Govan in his impressive bends and vibrato techniques. That sequence around 8:15 just makes it impossible not to smile.
If Vai and Bonamassa write a review about a guitar player , Pay attention to whom because they both did about Greg .
He reminds me of Steve Gaines of LS via Grand lake Oklahoma, Great stuff !!!!!Thumbs up
I have all ready commented on this but I can't stop watching it!!.... 5:20. That little boggie woggie run he place twice is outstanding!....never heard anybody play it like that!! Mind blowing!!
Greg is good & knowing me I will bio him as I always do after one of your analysis. Cool! Fil, I love everything you post!!!!
Thanks Kathy!
Thanks for the great review of the
Mansquatch! Local boy done good. You don't hear much about Wisconsin bands and talent but we have Les Paul and Greg Koch!😎
Had Les Paul
I've had the pleasure of meeting him dozens of times, getting to know him and even playing with his band back in the day at one gig. I've been playing guitar over 40 years and video does no justice to anything he plays. He's freaking amazing live!
Cool!
With age comes greatness. For all you young players keep jamming.
It's easy to imagine the part from 5:44 on to 7:00 or so played as a breakout solo in a large festival concert amplified up to 11.
Keep um coming Fil I love watching your videos. I would love to see you play on one of these videos. Peace bro.
👍☺
Well I was just blown away.
👍😂
This man is an absolute monster.his hands are so large he looks like he's playing a 20 inch scale mini fender tele..and he's so clean.
👍😂
That is seriously impressive! Wow! That tell is singing!
His son is a great drummer.
Hi Fil! I see you've come to one of my favorites. I wonder if i sent you this vid. Greg is one i'd travel to see. Looks like your crowd digs it, too ;p
Quite possibly!
This guy is a friggin wizard!! Hilarious dude too.
agreed, he is just flat out a guitar wizard. His out takes on the wildwood guitar series stuff is so funny. Side note, thats his kid on the drums, talent pool runs deep in that house!
👍😂
Thanks!
nice discover ... amazing
👍🙂
That guy and his mighty pink telecaster are amazing.
👍
Thank you!!! Greg is a one of the GOATs! And his son in no slouch on drums either.
I played with Greg in college in the late 80s and he was playing this tune even back then. It's had a lot years to evolve!
Cool!
This guy’s awesome.🤟
Greg can play ANYTHING!
I saw him at a clinic and asked
him to play a polka, it was wild!
Cool!
An absolutely fantastic player fil ashamed to say I’d never heard of him
Keep up the good work mate it’s great your introducing fantastic music to the masses
i cant wait to see this guy live!Danny gatton lives!
I've seen the Koch Marshall Trio live in Austin when I had a master class with Greg. Not only was I blown away by his playing but also by his niceness and generosity. He let me hold that red Telecaster he's playing in the video and it was light in weight, super light. His action was very low and already showing a lot of fret wear. But also in the class, Greg threw a lot of knowledge at us and let us tailor the class to what we wanted to learn from him. He'll blow your mind live!
MONSTER guitar play... quick wit, quick hands...
Do i out me as an ignorant if i tell you that i never heard Greg playing before? 😕
He is a killer player and he has a very drawing personality. He got me from the first minute. He's a good example showing sound is in the hands.
Good one Fil!
Edit:
I did some research on him. I knew him but didn't have his name on the screen. Now it is definitely.
He's on his way to my personal 10 favorite guitarists list.
There are loads of top players out there, some not known at all!
Check Wildwood guitars channel. Its basically guitar porn and Greg rips!!!
@@guitarpiratespodcast Check out the out takes and bloopers from those Wildwood demos. I think there are about 7 or 8 videos now. Even the best can goof up but his are hilarious! He's a wild man.
@@LightningDogg MAH CUP IS ON THE TAAAABBBAAALLL!!!!!!!😆😆
I watch Greg Koch videos everyday...He is the best and he has a great sense of humor.
😎👍🏽🎶🔥♥️🔥🎶
That was great thanks again Fil on another great video. You hear so much in his playing he's like Danny Gatton on steroids lol.
Thanks Jared!
Greg is an absolute monster on the guitar! He's also incredibly funny. He's not really a country player per se, but can make most country guitarists run for the woodshed when he plays in that style. He can play anything.
👍
Aaaaah. One of my favorites. The Gristle master!!!!
Greg Koch is one of the best!! Would love to see him and buckethead to a jam together!! Woww! They both make guitar so fun!! Skill and tone for days!! Rock on!!
Playing the hell out of that fender
Am I actually going to say this ?! An equal to the great Danny gatton?
Oh I see I commented on this a year ago lol!....I forgot!
Damn!!! If that ain't kool as hell I don't know what is..........totally AWESOME!So glad you share original vid. Another keeper!!!
🤘
I loved this, and the panoramic sweep of different styles, building to crescendos. As you mentioned one of the long descending runs, he's playing all the techniques I love and it keeps moving forward. No dull moments here. Thanks, Fil for info on his techniques!
No problem!
GREG IS A MONSTER PLAYER,EVERY STYLE,EITHER FLAT PICKED/CHICKEN PICKED,OR ANY OTHER,throws in Led Zep/AC/DC,you name ,it awesome.
Wow, thanks for turning me on to another new artist - new for me that is.
👍☺
He mentions gatton as a big influence. Makes sense to me, especially when I hear the Vai comments about Koch and then what vai has said about Gatton, he was the closest to the best as one can come at guitar or something like this. Plus he’s playing a tele!!🤘brother Fil
👍
I'm going to be 29 in February but I giggled like a 13 year old when you pronounced "Koch" "Cock"
Bless you.
Well, that's how Greg Koch pronounces it. Okay, sometimes he calls himself, "Gregory Kochory."
I giggled too, and I wish I was turning 29 again. Some things you just never grow out of haha
Haha yeah that's just how it's said!
kimberly s that's how it's pronounced you stupid Twat...
WOW!
Greg Koch is a tremendously accomplished guitarist
he reminds me of eddie van halen, guthrie govan and albert lee, but better. he’s incredible.
In another video here somewhere, Greg cited Albert Lee as one of his major influences. Easy to see why.
A lot like Alvin Lee, but soooooooooooo much more. Love this guy.
Ridiculously outstanding player, Gregory the gigantes. He is Wizard !!!!
#WEBLOVE Slightly off topic, but I saw Grand Funk when I was 16 in 98' in Atlanta, GA. It was a fantastic show. Glad to see you give them some love.
Cool!
Greg Koch needs his own late night talk show immediately
I’ve been thinking the same thing.
Greg is easily one of the best players in the world. If you haven’t seen them then the Wildwood demos are amazing. Does the Hendrix, Page and Clapton thing perfectly. Funny guy too!
👍
Mind blowing!
🤘
Fil, the 2017 in the background is the number of notes he plays per minute.
The Gristle King!
Slaying the Tele PROPER!!
great technique and thanks for reviewing .. could you also review Albert Lee?
Have done!
@@wingsofpegasus Found it! Thanks
Wow!
Fil, you might enjoy this fella if you haven't seen him already. ruclips.net/video/LFR1_YUBHLc/видео.html
Greg is out of this world. One of my 3 favs on the Tele along with Danny Gatton & Roy Buchanan. Good stuff, Fil. BTW, if you haven't checked out Danny Gatton yet, there's a clip of him & his band playing Funky Mama on Austin City Limits that is a mind blower.
Yeah he's here!
@@wingsofpegasus Thanks. So many I've yet to see on your excellent channel.
Yep, Greg is another guitarist I wish I could play like. And he's funny as hell and entertaining to listen to. A truly unique and talented character.
👍☺
Awesome player. Reminds in this piece of Albert Lee.
so happy that you knew this guitarist.. I found him about 6 months ago.. How can anyone so good not be fronted by Clapton or someone else lol . Another Danny Gatton for sure.. but hopefully he will go for years
You found one i never heard of before it's like psychedelic chicken picking.he seems to be using some of his own take on some of Roy Buchanan's guitar tricks.
👍
Mr. Koch often speaks of his love for Roy Buchanan
Wow. That was impressive.
🤘
Great job Fil. It's hard to take in all that Gregory Kochory, much less comment on the techniques. For the more human side of him, check out his blooper vids on the Wildwood Guitar site. He's a real corker.
That’s a hell of a thing holy shit
🤘
