    I've always been a huge fan
    He is quite left field in his style which makes him interestingly unpredictable in his licks and resolutions

    His "Heavy Metal Poppins" skit on one of the Wildwood Guitars vids is hilarious.

    I watched the one last night. He was playing a Whitfill Tele through a '68 Custom Vibrolux. Even when he's just sat there noodling, answering the occasional question, he's more listenable than most guitarists........and that tone last night was fantastic.

    Only problem is, the more I watch him the more I realise how limited my own playing is........and now I want a Vibrolux.

    Greg Koch clinic at Copenhagen Guitar Show 2013


    Duration 1 hour 7 mins

    That's my favourite one.  Anyone know the tune he plays at 4.46?


    It's called Night Owl Now off his Plays Well With Others record.  I much prefer the solo instrumental version in that video than the recorded version.  In fact, I can't stand any of Koch's records.  He's clearly an amazing player, very inspirational in one's quest to play better, and I've managed to successfully steal some of his (easier) licks, so thanks are due there.  But his records are stale, clichéd things which move music forward not one inch.  He definitely should stick to videos.

  • Wildwood Story Time • Greg Koch's Approach to Learning

    Let's take a moment to appreciate something other than guitar shredding for a moment. Sure, we live and breathe stunning guitars. We all quest after tone, and want to see players tear it up online for hours on end, but there's something deeper that goes when you see a player run up and down the fingerboard. There's depth to the mind of a guitarist that needs to be appreciated -- history, ideas, creativity, expression, pseudo-insanity -- all of it exists beneath the surface, and sometimes we just need to take a little time to listen.

    Interesting take and should resonate with a lot of musicians, not just guitarists. Vibrato and phrasing reflect the soul, the very essence of a player .....

    Greg Koch 2017 Clinic with "The Greg" signature amp at the Koch headquarters.

    I was curious about his new amp, so here is:

    Greg playing his new signature amp, simply named "The Greg" (probably just as well, as the alternative would have been a bit, err open_mouth  ),  at the Koch Amps headquarters in the Netherlands.
