  • We had an incredible day at County Q studio in Nashville and the grand finale was this epic jam featuring JD Simo, Greg Koch and Dean Smith.
    Thanks to Case Tanner for jumping in on the drums.
    Huge thanks to all who came, hung out, played, ate and drank with us. There's no doubt that we will do this again next year.
    For those who prefer the less-talk, more-jamming approach, feel free to jump to about 4:45

      @@christopherhanna5754 Oh yeah. Of course you are correct about Greg Koch. But go watch the Carters Vintage Guitars demo's that JD Simo does. Mostly the one on the "59" Burst called "Red Eye". Then tell me he isn't at least on par with Koch if not passed him. He is amazing and i never heard tone like JD gets out of just guitar and amp. No effects, just the volume and tone pots on his guitars.

      Space Alien Koch resided in a different galaxy, man. Koch has some alien voodoo that can’t be achieve by a fine blues man like JD. Koch made Simo sound interesting for once in this clip.

      The thing is those guys are amazing, both of them, it’s like two very very interesting peoples talking together. The particularity of greg is that he as a tremendous knowledge of vocabulary lots of different words to say the same thing that’s all , it’s never a competition just mind Blowing discutions

    Word of caution... put your headphones on backwards to appreciate this... That way JD goes in your left ear and Greg gets into your right ear. That will help match the visuals! Nice jam boys, I’d pay to watch that live.

    I have never heard a Metro-Plex played that clean and with a Tele. This turned out to be a fun video to watch and a great demo for the Metro-Plex. My buddy has a full stack with a Metropoulos 45/100 in his house, sounds fantastic, but really made me aware that I need to practice a lot more. Every nuance of my playing was crystal clear, including my mys-steaks.

    To be honest those guys were probably hating the tone. You take two 100 watt plexi clones and point them inwards in a small circle like your playing acoustic guitars. Not really what they were made for. Nonetheless they are both amazing guitar players and were able to play through thie inconvenience.

Keeping in mind he never chicken picked, all that is alternate picking country licks played at the same dexterity as those who chicken pick.
