    You should have heard him as a kid playing guitar at his house. I grew up with Greg and everytime he played in the summer it was a real learning moment knowing that someday he would really blow us away. His music echoed throughout the neighborhood known as Sheritan Lawns and we couldn't believe it was coming from this kid. Congrats Greg on all your accomplishments.

    Greg is beyond great. Funny guy and such a fantastic player. One of the best ever.

  • @MikeBikerKickstand

    He is a very large human being with enormous hands, so I get the dexterity with his left, but you would think those same long fingers would work against him with his right hand. His technique, his guitar vocabulary, his tone, his persona and presence is undeniable. I don’t like to quantify guitar players (cause I’m one of them), but there’s an argument to be made that Greg may be the greatest living player today. Either that or he’s a friggin alien. And that venue .... Yikes!

    The way Greg talks and behaves reminds me a lot of people like Tommy Emmanuel, Mark Knopfler and Chet Atkins. Always kind and polite. Must be something about the guitar genius that make them this way!
    By the way great tips about chicken pick!

    my friend saw the G3 show with Greg, Jeff Beck & Eric Johnson. he was close enough to see what was going on in the wings. he told me when Greg played, JB's crew was mesmerized.
    a former bandmate's brother was Greg's drummer in the Tone controls.
    a friend & former employer owned a Mongolian BBQ restaurant in NE Wisconsin where Greg played, & I got 2 hang with him after bar closing. I can die happy knowing I actually shook hands with the GristleMaster.

    You and your Brother were lucky. I also was in High School from 66' to 69'. I saw a lot of incredible Live music by those Great Bands of that era. I saw Roy Buchanan Live several times in the early 70's. He was Amazing, LIVE......

  • @465marko
    @465marko 4 года назад +8

    This was a real eye-opener! And he's such a good guy on top of everything else. Myself and a friend used to go to this Chinese restaurant down the street from me that was open in the afternoons, and this one time we sat down, ordered the usual, finished our meals and both realised that neither of us had brought our wallets or any cash!
    We explained the situation to the owner, and fortunately they were nice enough to let us come in and pay for it the next day, since they knew we were regulars.
    I didn't meet Greg or anything, but if he had been there I think he would have been really cool and probably chatted to us for a bit.

      Fact. The first time I ever saw Koch was an interview he did with PRS where he called Brent Mason a "plectrum-wielding prestidigitator of the highest order," and then said some other guy was abusing the demo guitar like a farm animal. PRS's reaction to the onslaught was pretty funny. ruclips.net/video/OitFD5SU9kw/видео.html

      Paul Rose - of course its OK. I just think DH's remarks were childish. 1- its a clinic...you gotta rattle on a bit to engage the crowd. 2- clothes? I've never seen any artist give a clinic in formal attire, except in symphony/classical clinics & 3- I had the honor of meeting Greg years ago (when he was with the Tone Controls) & got to hang with the band after a gig in Appleton, WI. Jealous? I sure as hell can't hold a candle to Greg's technique, but to diss him because of that shows immaturity, poor self-respect or the sadly increasing number of intolerant "musicians" out there.
