Greg Koch - Not So Slight Return! [JAM Koch Ness Monster, New S-Shaped Reverend & More]

[@miketanarur]

There aren't too many videos on youtube as a whole, where you - instead of skipping ahead - want to hit rewind...This is one of those.

[@TheDingledong4lyfe]

my psychic is going to tattoo this comment onto my sons face

[@CorbCorbin]

⁠@@TheDingledong4lyfe Last night, I saw a young stripper, with this tattooed on her back, and part of her front too.

[@bradholmes4]

on my 4th watch of the first 2 minutes🤣

[@robstephens7]

Amen to that. Greg Koch is a force of nature, both guitar-wise and his sense of humour.

[@salvatorenapoli152]

Yep

[@lewisbeeman]

Greg is easily the most entertaining interviews for any guitar channel to have on.

[@ZappaIrl]

The way Greg’s sense of humor comes out through his playing really makes him a joy to listen to. In everything he plays there’s a little wink in there if you pay attention.

[@RagggedTrouseredPhilanthropist]

Saw him in Sheffield last night, he's a mindblowing guitarist. As a player of 30 years myself there are the players you hear where you go 'I can do that', the players where you go 'I know what they're doing but it's a bit beyond me', and then players like Greg where you're just like 'what the hell was that' 😂🔥

[@gasbagguitargear401]

Saw him in Birmingham the night before, exactly this. Makes you realise there are so many leagues above where we have reached

[@ObjectObscureMusic]

The 'digital dude' rant is such a highlight.. needs it's own KZbin short please. Thanks, Greg; you're always epic.

[@doftya]

Yes please, from 43:43 to 44:26. Please.

[@jeremyversusjazz]

@@doftyaits awesome

[@Garrett9339]

I'm not even five minutes in and my belly already hurts from laughing. Greg Koch, national treasure, global delight and an absolute warlock on the axe

[@chriscooks9850]

Imagine having an incredibly stressful day at work, you get home, kick your shoes off, take off your tie that you hate wearing, remember you have 6 ice cool beers in the fridge, grab one, sit on the couch, flick youtube on and find out Greg Koch is at TPS doing his new fancy pedal demo for 1 hour 7 minutes and 56 seconds. Well, that's me right now and everything is suddenly blissful. Thanks TPS. Thank you so much!!

[@cannedheat67]

That was the shortest 1:07:56 of my life. Did not want it to end.

[@chriscooks9850]

@@cannedheat67 I know man! Tell me about it. What a guy he is. Legend. Its not often I see Dan short of stuff to say but he couldn't stop laughing haha. I'm a HUGE Noel Gallagher and Jonny Marr fan but this video tops them both. Superb.

[@Igornopolis]

Yesss. Absolutely. Cheers mate 🤙

[@rhodwilliams3041]

Greg's playing is a wonderful extension of his personality. Always a true pleasure to watch

[@sweethands4328]

Yeah...create a short of that 😂

[@matthewwalker741]

It doesn't matter how many times I see clips or interviews with Greg, he just blows me away every single time. I've been playing on and off for 20 years and there's no greater motivation than watching him for 5 minutes. His style is never going to be the most commercially popular, but he's surely the talent of his generation, absolutely peerless.

[@TheDryes]

Gosh, you can’t not love this man and his playing. 🙌🏼

[@adamfstewart81]

The most creative, hilarious and spontaneous man on KZbin who can comp tunes on command endlessly with god-tier chops 🤩

[@Dramirez314]

What a fantastic way to start my Friday morning 🎸 ! Thanks Mick, Dan, and Greg!!!!

[@joseph_lacy]

Greg is a great guy! I’ve run sound for the Koch-Marshall trio a few times and they’re always super kind and great guys to be around

[@jamesbattersby9454]

I saw the Koch Marshall Trio last night in Sheffield and got to witness the majesty of Greg and the Kochness Monster in person. an unforgettable night

[@TheStrongBoyz19]

It was a pleasure seeing Greg Koch and his band two nights ago at The Jam House. Always one of my all time favourite guitarists and I am glad you guys made another video with him.

[@RobertNolan]

Greg is such a seemingly fun and inspirational person. I hope he is always as happy inside as he is outside.

[@EshockT]

He loves his family and they love him back. He’s a winner.

[@jerryhorton5708]

Every time I see Greg, no matter the venue or context, I am simply gobsmacked. Thanks to you, Mick and Dan!

[@jeremiahMc11]

I love it when a person's personality matches their playing. Its like he says whatever immediately comes into his brain and that's what his playing is like. It WORKS and its hysterical

[@bluesful]

I dig so much the joy that this bloke brings to the world.

[@Steve_9292]

Yes! The world is a better place for having the Gregster in it.

[@craig9802]

Aaaand, we can add Greg to the list of folks who make Dan cry... :D The Dude brings joy and laughter wherever he goes. Cheers, Boys.

[@guiarnoldi]

Man, Greg seems like the nicest human and the greatest person to be around. He's the epitome of good times around some beers and listening to great music and great guitar.

[@bobrg1459]

Virtuoso insanity. Greg's personality shows in his playing and it is marvelous and unique. Bravo!

[@cienciegos]

What a blast! 🤩 We need part 2 of this one! I have to confess I was not well versed on Koch’s music but now I am sold. What an amazing musician and human being. And I want that Jam beast! 😎💸✨

[@memygtar]

What a player. I could listen to that outtro all day long. Beautiful

[@robtownleyofficial]

Absolute gold, thanks so much for having Greg back on the show 😊

[@davidLPST]

Greg is a force of nature. Love it. And his playing is a perfect representation of his character.

[@randybach4581]

Greg is the best!! He’s Someone you’d wanna be around as much as possible because you would forget ALL you troubles when he was in the room 😅

[@Deliquescentinsight]

Greg is truly a phenomenon, defying easy definition but he is definitely the real deal.

[@andyb9118]

This is a magic end to a very long week. I'm going to pour a cool beer and enjoy this.

[@MindsetMotiv8ors]

The only thing more interesting in this world than Greg's huge personality and humor is his playing he the total package !!!!! thanks for sharing guys I needed this laugh :)

[@tonray9395]

What a master of sounds...taking nothing away from TPS hosts but man oh man Greg is the bees knees

[@victortpd10987]

Greg is unequaled in his guitar skills and spontaneous humor. He’s the only one I know who can express his humor through his guitar. Greg Kock Rocks!

[@alguitarchristie]

Greg is a monster player! He can play so many different styles, and he is the funniest dude on the planet! His intelligence and humour come through in his playing, tis a wonder to behold! Such a treat! Kochtastic!

[@Adventuresingearland]

In 30 plus years of engaging with classical and rock musicians (among others), never have I encountered someone who’s playing seemingly is an extension of their personality as closely as it appears with this remarkable humanoid. All hail the Kochmeister!

[@urbanwikstrom9246]

Thanks for having Greg Koch on the show..! He is truly a fantastic player and entertainer. I will certainly play this show at half speed to try to learn something. Great show!

[@SteveTaylor-k7n]

Saw the man himself last night at The Greystones in Sheffield. A glorious chewy tone fest, and some absolute laugh out loud coz it’s that good playing!

[@midnighthour4299]

Tbh there are a few videos I forward and skip, but this episode was pure gold, every second.

[@jamiehamilton7568]

I’m like 5 minutes into this and it’s already a favourite.

[@paulwest3905]

Greg is one-of-a-kind and a true treasure in the music world, good to see him back at TPS!

[@jakesinclair6348]

Greg is the absolute MAN!!! Laughed so hard. Legendary stuff.

[@toms5951]

It amazes me that anything can actually gets done when he's around, just have to strap in and enjoy wherever he takes the ride. I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Last time Koch Marshall Trio came around with Eric Gales I ended up having to work that night and was absolutely bummed out.

[@andyw5150]

What a great episode! Thank you so much.

[@FenderBenderBilly]

that dude is funny as hell and plays like a badass !!!!!!!!!! music and comedy gold - love the guy and cant wait for new album

[@HatRock]

Greg's domain of the guitar is off the charts. Undoubtedly one of the best performers of the instrument, ever. Like it or not, believe it or not.

[@MrKevbo82]

I don’t know why I thought I could watch this while eating lunch. I’ve almost choked ten times and I’m less than 6:00 in. What an amazing man 😂

[@ThatPedalShow]

Hahahahah!

[@igordemoraeslenzi]

That was one of the best intro of all times! Hahaha

[@Laoboy9]

What a beast and legend! Incredible show!

[@jonmitchell1968]

Just and absolute genius of a guitar player! Love the man!

[@kurtisr2339]

If the term isn’t already in wide use, the title “Gregory S. Koch, Esq.” should finally nudge us over the ledge into full “Kochesque” glory.

[@GuitarTonePro]

Greg simultaneously manages to be the best playing, most entertaining and most difficult person to listen to in all the best ways. 😆

[@starrynightguitars]

Thank you thank you thank you!! I love Greg’s playing. I saw him at a NAMM show about 10 years ago at the Fender booth & I was blown away. So incredible!

[@nicok5630]

Insane player.

[@darthkeyes]

Seeing the two of you try to deal with Greg's sense of humour is such fun to witness. I'm with you, the guy is hilarious!

[@Stratguy10NZ]

Caught Greg's show in Putney London (was visiting from NZ so a great suprise to see him). Wonderful concert and genuinely warm human. Came out after the show and chatted with us all. One of the great evenings!

[@BlackofAzur]

Greg is a legend ! Best entertainer in the guitar game !

[@anthonygstrandwiththebandt2656]

Not only one of the greatest guitarists of all time, but HILARIOUS too.

[@paulngardner]

That was by far the best response to not using digital effects I’ve ever heard 😂 It’s like you got your dad who just told everyone straight! Just love him, great episode 👏👏

[@oldguitarjames9303]

Never seen him live but have watched several videos of him with his band. One standout was when he had David Grissom guesting. DG is probably my favourite guitarist of the moment but Greg was making him work to keep up. Some phenomenal playing and plenty of smiles as the two swap licks. Well worth watching if you can find it on KZbin.

[@flapamziz6867]

loved the freedom jazz dance quote in the intro very inspiring player many styles hittin ya all at once

[@matthewcollis-long5233]

33:48 “windswept & sensitive… schnoidles in the background” Mick Taylor trying not to cry with laughter - this is the TPS we came for❤

[@NewPraetorianBlues]

The Lord of Gristle himself, one of the best of all time👏🏻

[@curtspoerer4424]

Just joy and pure talent!

[@JacquesButlerMusic]

I needed this after a long week 😂

[@gasbagguitargear401]

Saw him play this week, I honestly think for £15 I saw the best player there is right now for that type of music. Terrific band and a terrific guy.

[@jeffreyradick6486]

Seeing & hearing Mr Koch always makes me want to get back to the woodshed and practice! Not that I'll ever approach even the merest shadow of a microscopic spec of his skill. But I can get better than I am. Your show also inspires me and informs me with your sounds and information about using gear.

[@richardamidon3381]

Was lucky enough to bring my 2 sons to a small guitar store clinic with Greg and Roscoe Beck. Unforgettable

[@GiantPinhead]

Astonishing, entertaining, jaw dropping, and enlightening. What a thrill! He always brings something unexpected to the conversation.

[@matthewcollis-long5233]

25:30 “it seems weird to say My Brand Is Gristle” 😂😂 that’s the record name you were looking for… goodness me Mr Kochery is such a joy to behold.

[@darryltolbert8950]

Love greg koch. The genre palate is so broad and you gotta love the personality when he talks and when he plays.

[@VlrGuitarWorld]

So much fun watching this one.. the one and only Greg!

[@gravityfreaksmusic]

This man's energy can not be contained. What a force of nature.

[@CharlesTokyo]

After a busy week in work there’s nothing better than a JAM packed TPS, absolutely Koch-a-block with humour and harmony. Game on! Thanks all!

[@BioZook]

Sir Koch, a proud band mate first, an openly horrified yet proud father close second 💜always love when he's on the show

[@horizontalblanking]

The onslaught of tone, “Greg-isms”, and sweet Gristly goodness is astounding. I had the pleasure of talking to Greg after a show - Felton, CA… pre-Covid - and he was just a delight. Now if he would just find his way to NZ.. I’d be a happy man!

[@MattMarriott]

Greg will never cease to fill me with joy and inspiration. What an absolute gristle monster! This will be a repeat visit in the future, no doubt!

[@haymakersboston]

Yes, I agree with Greg about the Clapton strat! Bridge pickup with the TBX boost was my set-up for several years.

[@jamesunderhill1603]

Fabulous video. Love the "wrong" notes, reminded me of Les Dawson on his piano years ago. So much fun. Thanks guys.

[@guydouglas6094]

The first 5 mins - Greg is a full-time blast! I this love this guy's comedy AND his playing.

[@DrKevGuitar]

Damn that man is BIG. I'm only two minutes in and wife wants to know if I'm having a seizure or laughing! Thank you guys!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Hahahahah!

[@ThatPedalShow]

We hope it’s the latter by the way….

[@remnantofyisrael4522]

Sir Koch of Gristledom!! Greg has such a large arsenal of runs, turns, progressions, and tones to pull from on a fraction of thought. AND...he can be entertaining just holding a guitar and talking. I never once thought...just hush and play. Great show!!

[@caiofilipini]

Why can't we like a video more than once? This one deserved it.

[@caiofilipini]

I actually found myself going for the like button only to realize I had already done it.

[@MrTDembinski]

Bravo. Wonderful show this week.

[@Thomas_Eichinger_Major_Tom]

Can't remember to see you laughing so much and hard on any other episode. And i laughed with you! Great Show today. Greg is an amazing player. Made my Weekend ❤😂

[@pauleddy5146]

Always a good time when Greg brings his brand of schtick to town. A man of few words.The JAM pedal collab is awesome. Everything you need, and some that you don't, but all there if you so require. Always sonically masterful.

[@AZFunk]

Greg is a wonder of the world and so damn fun.

[@-plexico-]

Ty. Was waiting for this episode and pedal overview from TPS’ perspective

[@scot-combs]

Less than 2 mins in and I'm already hooked!

[@LodvarDude]

The gristlemeister is back to cause chaos and mayhem! And looking good doing so! Hell yeah.

[@Steve_plays_guitar]

The man is a pure joy.

[@McBoggler]

God bless this stupendous Sasquatch of sonic sorcery! Long may he rock!

[@chirbin0nidhogg623]

I enjoyed watching the DB meter at 43:50 onward. True Gregorian passion

[@gejskelly]

It sounds strange to say because Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Joe Walsh are all heroes of mine and they're such big names, but since I was a teenager Greg has always been right up there as another hero. I honestly think the day I get to witness him live will leave my jaw dropped permanently from consuming the level of virtuosity that follows in his wake. Hell, he doesn't even need a guitar in his hands and I'd still be happy to tune in to a fantastical Radio Koch daily.

[@jeffreyradick6486]

An amazing character and an amazing musician!

[@scottcurry4116]

Awesome show! Greg is delightful. Just got tickets to see Greg in Somerville, MA 5 miles from my house in November! Can’t wait!

[@plowit]

Great interview with Greg “rhymes with sock” Koch. Made my day!

[@kjphoto]

I don’t think I’ve ever been so tired after watching an episode. But also, my face hurts from laughing.

[@steliosposeidon6871]

Saw Greg and his trio at Fat Lil’s Witney, just fantastic! What an inspiration.

[@jegl1012]

GK is amazing ! So inspiring.

[@glenproctor1999]

One of the nicest, funniest, most knowledgable people in the music scene ever.
