I've heard it be said he's like a funky cowboy who doesn't have any friends and sits around and plays guitar all the time and comes up with stuff he finds disturbing to share with others. 2:14 2:47
He's fantastic. I wish he'd play 10% slower and twice as clean, though. Sometimes, it sounds like he's running ahead of what he's doing, and the difference between him and someone like johnny hiland is johnny never cheats a note out of what it could have been.
I just discovered Greg on RUclips a couple of months ago and after 40 yrs of playing and hearing other guitarists, he continues blow mw away...amazing!
I don't know of any other guitarist that plays with anything close to his combination of deadpan humor and awe-inspiring virtuosity. He has become my favorite musician.
Greg the guys you mentioned as influences they are and some were towering figures in the history of guitar. As yourself.And my guitar heros also. Love the shirt
I'm from where he is from and used to see him at a music store where he worked. (cascio). The guy just keeps getting better and better. Really impressive
Greg is an amazing guitar player! He's so technically sound and plays with such dexterity that I consider him to be a guitar virtuoso who doesn't get enough credit for his talent.
Listening to Greg play guitar is like watching Robin Williams do comedy. You don't know what to expect but you do know that it will be interesting and something you never heard before and you can't wait for more!
Slow mo is genius comedy and right off the op of his crazy head. Plus he's a truly phenomenal player. His head must be so full of shit that he probably doesn't sleep much. That's our gain! The Robin Williams of guitar playing.
I find it so cool that he's playing with a fender mustang here, I'm used to see him playing with a tone king or other boutique amp back at the youtube channel he does his reviews on.
Hey Fil, I thought that name was familiar. I looked around and I’ve got an instructional guitar video he did. I bought it years ago, but I had never seen him just play, so this was a treat for sure. He’s as crazy talented playing as he is as a teacher. Wish I’d thought to look him up before. Cheers Oh, and Rock!!!
I haven't laughed so much since back in '94 when I ran my mother-in-law's foot over with my ride-on Rover acreage lawnmower, bwaaahahahahaaa!!! Hilarious & the Greg Koch slo-mo is the bees knees, the lizards gizzards & the ducks nuts - he is as mad as a cut🐍snake!?. via🦘Didyabringyabongalong Station, Central Queensland ♪ A Guitarcheologist since '79🎸
the slow motion section was hilarious. Koch is a madman.
Yes, and I love it. I doesn't care how they perceive him.
This man is a national treasure.

I've been a fan since 2008 ish, i think. Glad to discover this. :)
there's probably 10 or so guitarist of all time who you could say mastered their instrument Greg is one of them

Probably 12

Dunno what he's like with a band, but in these bits he does, it's always running ahead of time, in that annoying way guitarists tend to do.
Great player and hilarious sense of humor! Caught him at the Dallas Guitar show and watching him play is amazing!
Greg delivers every time! New levels of awesomeness discovered by the funky cowboy...
This cat is a great mix of insane, genius, wizard, crazy and great feel!
My singer knows him from Milwaukee and says this is what he is like in person - it's not an on-stage behavior. An absolute MONSTER guitar player.
I just discovered Greg on RUclips a couple of months ago and after 40 yrs of playing and hearing other guitarists, he continues blow mw away...amazing!
I just love Greg he can flat play and has his own stand up guitar comedy “can you play that slow”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've met him a couple of times, he is really that funny, ALL THE TIME. And an amazing guitar player.
Greg is HILARIOUS!! And a killer guitar player.
That slow-motion bit...well, i almost fell out of my chair laughing.
I don't know of any other guitarist that plays with anything close to his combination of deadpan humor and awe-inspiring virtuosity. He has become my favorite musician.
I am only now discovering this guy. What a great player and personality. Wonderful.

Greg you are an artist bro....love it
The slow motion riff rendition is brilliant.
The slow mo is great!
Slow mo is genius comedy and right off the op of his crazy head.
Plus he's a truly phenomenal player. His head must be so full of
shit that he probably doesn't sleep much. That's our gain! The Robin
Williams of guitar playing.
Oh my God! Just listened to his slow mo lick @ 2x speed, & it was still almost in perfect time! 😂
What a bad ass.
Legendary! Never gets old! That's how I discovered the Gristle King! Humour does belong to music ;)
Just LOVE Greg Koch! What a great guy and MONSTER axeman!
Great playing as always, Greg! Wow!
He is out of this world. Thanks for sharing TC!
I find it so cool that he's playing with a fender mustang here, I'm used to see him playing with a tone king or other boutique amp back at the youtube channel he does his reviews on.
Greg is the most unique player,.....ever,.......period.
Met him at a clinic in Kitchener, Ontario...what a great guy and a killer picker!! Come back anytime 🙂
Saw him live at Musikmesse Frankfurt, this guy is beyond most players today! he is inovative funny and just awesome!
Jesus this guy is from Mars. So good!
Man...I want to be his friend so bad

Oh, and Rock!!!
GRANDE GREG spero di poterti ascoltare del vivo a Torino 😢
Is he permanently under schrums? Love this guy!
Hey -- it's two of my favorite creative geniuses, master guitarist Greg Koch being interviewed by the magnificent writer/director Joss Whedon!
You just KNOW this dude is becoming a fookin legend even as we speak!
An amazing player and funny. I never heard of him until literally 2 days ago! Through Listening to Josh Smith
Greg is a master entertainer
What kochface dislikes Greg Koch?
Me for instance - he is a brilliant player, but he always acts like a stupid 13 year old. Its so annoying to watch.
his wife probably, wives can be a real haters when it comes to guitar playing
Jerry Donahue is another brilliant Tele / Strat player .
What a talented player. Tremendous.
Great attitude and chops
I wonder if Greg is ever short of words. I doubt it. He's so talented it's crazy. He's stupid good.
What a great guy and amazing player!
love to say this guy teaches at my school!!
No amount of practice can make someone that good... God gave him a gift!
Whitehawkvisionfilms no it's practice lol
With the power of soul (and lots and lots of practice), anything is possible!!!!!
a MASTER!!!!! I bow down.....
Still waiting for the Greg Koch Show!
Koch is hilarious - slow mo! Haha, that's fantastic.
what a character - great
love this guy, I have the same guitar with nicer maple top and love it.
can't love this enough times
I wish I could study with this guy! Treasure chest of knowledge
Greg's a mad man , gotta love him ! Also an extreme bad ass on guitar !!! PEACE
Greg is #1
Ah goodness, what a diamond!
One crazy ass guitar playing bastard!
Paul Kasputis the way we like em right?
Best player around.
great stuff!
This guy is just amazing!
Lol... Gregs awesome... has a great sense of humor to boot.
Amazing talent ....
you probably are the coolest guy in the guitar industry man! haha
he is the most natural player ever. his mind is quick. he is interesting. he is funny. seems to know his craft
Greg Koch kills me! Greatness as a player.
genius level?....anyone?
Awesome player
When will we see this guy in movies?
What a scamp! Great skills from Mr Koch
scamp is such an underused word...gotta bring it back...very Our Gang 😁
Yes, a kind of affectionate mischievous respect!
Michael Gorman A rapscallion if you will.
LMFAO when he did the slow motion. If Greg did not play guitar he would have been a famous comedy writer.
he's quick as a whip... my guess he is a certified genius.
Greg. U r a legend!
This man is a gift to the world, awesome player. Take note ;-)
Great playing!!!
What was the tip?
Ding Wall 😄
Ding Wall Just the tip of the Koch
tip..... no friends........play more guitar.......
Koch only needs to give just a little tip. To much will make it so you can't walk. His tone is known to make the legs a little wobbly.
His left hand is crazy. Try doing the hand thing he does in the last 5 seconds.
What is that? That split of his index and middle finger thing? Thats so easy. You are joking right?
God he is so freaking funny and as we all know a monster guitar player to boot
I haven't laughed so much since back in '94 when I ran my mother-in-law's foot over with my
ride-on Rover acreage lawnmower, bwaaahahahahaaa!!! Hilarious & the Greg Koch slo-mo is
the bees knees, the lizards gizzards & the ducks nuts - he is as mad as a cut🐍snake!?.

Pound for pound, the best. Funny as hell too!
"I just don't have any friends..." hahaha
