[@wendelllaffin240]

Every time i watch a video like this and see that someone has disliked it... i see a guy in his mom's basement playing a Korean Ibanez RG with a solid state Line 6 amp and a Boss Metal Zone in front of it who has absolutely no idea what great playing is and what great tone sounds like.

[@ZachCanPlay]

HAHAHA best comment ever! I'm 30, and I still have my Korean Jem, my little Line 6 AND a Metal Zone!!! But I'm a man now ;) The right players and guitars are in my life haha. Great comment.

[@buddylobos5277]

Hey watch it. My mom lives in a condo. No basement. lol

[@wendelllaffin240]

lol... the garage then?

[@buddylobos5277]

Wendell Laffin Parking ramp you mean.

[@wendelllaffin240]

I hear parking ramps give the feel of true tube tone lol

[@chasing_dragons]

Wow. This guitar alone sounds phenomenal and combined with Greg's playing; Light years out of this world. These demo videos take all my pain away. Thank you Greg.

[@Sco3000]

Wowza, that is one tasty sounding Les Paul

[@cnemi22]

Damn!!! The dirt is so full!!! Can definitely tell Mr. Greg K is having a blast playing this beautiful guitar!!!!

[@plotonisradd]

holy shit that last piece with the slide was amazing

[@nerdHerder44]

Added a room mic to the dirty amp? Sounds INCREDIBLE.

[@uncletoby1]

I know he literally writes the training manuals, but this guy's got to be inside the world's top 1% guitarists.

[@gainandpain]

Phenomenal drive tone.Great.

[@Emanater]

Is there like a Greg Koch scale I need to learn so I can play like him?

[@zaccarter3801]

yeah its all of them haha

[@CharliePutz]

That is one glorious riff at 3:56

[@pndpredatorfishing]

Incredible sick tone!! Sick playing... sick guitar!! Absolutely amazing!! True eargasm!

[@JohnDoe-sz3lz]

Greg has to be one of the best sounding guitar players ever!

[@hidekiamasaki1768]

Nice! Thanks for uploading this!

[@TheMckfly]

Greg (and Company) a) Your reviews are tops in a sea of no character KZbin pulp. b) Even though I can only play a few chords and own one accoustic, I'm going to buy a Gibson (electric) tomorrow because of this review. c) Keep inventing words, Greg; authenticity is a lost art. d) I shouldn't spend 2000 on a guitar that I can't play but, to date, no one (person) has accused me of acting like a rocket scientist. Well done Wildwood. One of these days I'm gonna drive my bike south of the border just to visit your store. Cheers, T

[@TheSwedishUploader]

Hey man, how's things work out with the Gibson? You'll thank yourself for going big early later on. Which one did you get?

[@TheSwedishUploader]

+TheSwedishUploader how've

[@TheMckfly]

TheSwedishUploader Well, as much as I would've loved to pick up the Mike McCreedy model, I grabbed a Les Paul Traditional 2016 T. Still WAY too much guitar for me but I'm hoping that what you say will turn out for the best!!! My buddy plugged it in and away he went and it made an amazing sound. It is a thing of beauty...if only a guy could play like Greg from Wildwood!!!!! Cheers!!

[@dscraig512]

Greg can play a Hello Kitty guitar in to a metal zone pedal through a Gorilla amp and still have killer tone. Dude is phenomenal!

[@pndpredatorfishing]

Incredible sick playing!!! What a nice guitar!!

[@s2seltaeb]

Um, what did Greg eat that day? He's always a great player, but the playing in this video is just ridiculously good. Another level.

[@xperrosinsangrex]

This guy is huge... makes that LP looks like a Cuatro...

[@opposegroup-think3328]

Exquisite playing.

[@fapearljeremy]

Mike McCready 🎸 ❤️

[@MontyCantsin5]

OD sound is so much better in this video!

[@davearooney]

Right? Definitely something changed for the better

[@rafasounds2010]

I sense a bit of processing in the DAW

[@mstringer90]

you're an amazing guitarist greg!

[@stepitupandgo67]

good lord that guitar sounds good...

[@jalaskabtu]

Holly shit, you're so fucking good guitarrist!!!!!

[@Alanoffer]

He just gets better ,

[@hazamck458]

Good lord, so niceee.

[@DanOughton]

Love it!!

[@thebigjakekinard]

IMO Greg Koch is the most underrated guitar player alive today. Dude is a genus.

[@CentaurusRelax314]

Phylum.

[@diegoangaritajr.7942]

i like the Les Paul!

[@MrJamVon]

HOLY SHIT!!

[@dewke67]

That is indeed a tasty guitar

[@Juanescalonaarocha]

Why it's sounds so good??? Ahahaha beautiful guitar !!!

[@BB2009LZ]

Imagine Phil X and Greg Koch together!

[@StratsRgreat]

Crazy mad skilz MrKoch...

[@TempoDrift1480]

Ur a kick fuckin ass guitar player Homie. Talk about entertaining.

[@MrWilly2204]

Mind boggling playing! That guitar is gorgeous. What pedal is he using for gain?

[@johnferraiuolo7226]

What's this talk about pedals for that tone.?Its straight through to the fingers practice. Finding your center or soul

[@CentaurusRelax314]

@@johnferraiuolo7226I love how he swapped fingers and expertise at the 25s mark…. “Genus [sic]!” If anyone else is looking for the info about what ‘pedal’ he switches on for gain, see the earliest comments and reply from Wildwood: he switches from a clean amp to a Friedman Smallbox amp.

[@pepsimaru]

You gonna tell me that an original 59 LEs Paul sounds even better, gah lee!

[@Chiboy00]

he is such a great guitar player. nice eddie impression at 4:41 haha what amp is he using? anyone know?

[@BillMellow]

Holy sweet bajeebus that is nice.

[@jupjuck]

ughhh daaaang his jazz chops are kiler

[@geoarthur6593]

I played the original back in the day over here in Belfast, it belonged to Jim Armstrong ..

[@kidzkidz93]

I would just come here to see his playing.

[@bandk1502]

first time ive seen you without a knit beanie on. :)

[@leehunter1246]

Greig which gain pedal did you use in this video? That shit is was bad as fock

[@williamsimanjuntak5263]

Holy shit

[@slickyjorj]

Greg's playing...all day long. ♫

[@buddylobos5277]

Is the OD from channel switching or is it all pedals. Sounds like channel switching.

[@wildwoodguitars]

We use an A/B box to switch between a Tone King Imperial (clean) and a Friedman Smallbox 50 (overdrive).

[@ParthPandya1992]

Silly question but: what kind of a/b box did you use here? I've shifted to a 3 amp setup but i get some hum and bleed from the other amp from my home-made a/b box :(

[@wildwoodguitars]

It's the Voodoo Labs Amp Selector.

[@ParthPandya1992]

Wildwood Guitars Thank you! :D

[@geirolav2]

what amps?

[@fatihsancak3234]

Anyone knows what is he playing at 2:19?

[@SONICBOOMERSOONER]

Greg Koch, king of shred? Did I just see that? My goodness!!

[@stevestarr6395]

Wa ha ah wooooooah! Greg's great lol!

[@zoso2000]

WTAF! That's it! I'm selling my guitar.

[@wayfaerer320]

3:55-4:40 - God dammit, Greg - what the fuck are you?

[@startale123]

whats the riff @31 song ? anyone ?

[@MrFrankParsons]

Really fine playing, but it's all Emperor's new clothes.

[@jarrydhayward5120]

wut?

[@nolanr7679]

Mccready's is a gold top

[@joeserkoch6388]

Nolan R no it’s not.

[@geoffrobson2493]

Gossard's is a gold top.

[@AS__77]

Wish you could've actually played some Pearl Jam on it.

[@Raulin2007]

When the guy demoing a copy of an exclusive guitar plays 1000 times better than the guy who owns the real one.

[@rannz8]

False

[@jalaskabtu]

True

[@rannz8]

@@jalaskabtu false, they play differently. There would no possible way one is more better when they both play different styles.

[@belugaman6772]

No way man. McCready is a god

[@johnbayman6102]

Sometimes Les (Paul) is more. In Greg’s case, definitely.

[@jorgevelasquezoficial]

omg

[@robertmartin4343]

Sadly for you i haven't come across some out of nowhere large sums of money because with your playing in your demos you could sell me anything

[@bradleyfurer7847]

Sleeping on pillow made of concrete. Oh yeah

[@leehunter1246]

Holy fuck that sounds awsome. I just can't see spending 2500 on a tone king 1x12. 🖕that shit

[@elephantricity]

jesus christ, over saturation.

[@austinwalter2399]

just a stack of dumbles no biggie.

[@Jeke100]

Gosh, now I will quit playing guitar
