Greg Koch Origin Story

[@donwershba2319]

Wonderful artist - lovely guy - makes the world a better and more musical place. Saw him live about a month ago - he's truly astonishing and such a nice person. Dylan and Toby are the perfect collaborators.

[@gristlepounder]

Greg played at my wedding reception 30 years ago. Remember like it was yesterday!

[@thatampguy]

Dude your username😂😂😂😂

[@GreenpointRemembers]

I first heard of Greg “Huge” Koch when I bought a DVD with him teaching blues playing over 20 years ago, it was surprisingly educational.

[@guydouglas6094]

I remember the same - his vocabulary was huge then! LOL

[@Vern859]

Enjoy your playing, Mr Greg 🎸🎶👏

Lovely guy, wonderful player. This was really nice to hear the whole back story. ❤

[@guydouglas6094]

That was excellent! Love his playing and his personality!

[@Mike-hr6jz]

I love this guy if you’ve ever seen him in a clinic the guitar playing, of course is amazing but he is so funny it is worth going to hear his stories. He’s one of those people you feel you could. Hang with, and you would never be bored

[@markw9512]

I just love this guy. His playing is just brilliant, and really captures his innate manic energy. Always a blast to listen to him, whether it be talking or playing like the maniac he truly is!

[@MarcusYensen]

Great story Greg, I’ve been following you since circa 2006.

[@damonstewart70]

[@brad9652]

GREAT 1 MAN INTERVIEW ❤ TY

[@LeeLauder]

Incredible skills!! Very cool and funny guy! Peace 🙏🙏

[@headlesssoldier]

I’m from where he is from. He worked at a music store that had like 7-8 real deal great guitar players who also worked there. It’s was crazy.! He was the only guyI hadn’t heard play at one point. One of the guys who worked asked me if I had ever heard him play, and I said I hadn’t. He strongly urged me to. lol. So I few weeks later I caught his set

[@johnsmallshaw9401]

I am from Wauwatosa too, a friend of mine just turned me onto him.

[@jeremyversusjazz]

[@gkniffen]

Greg, we're going to ROLL WITH YOU until you can't roll no more! 😅🙏🔥😎

[@TheGuitarBay]

Yes, Greg! We can indeed dig it and we shall never stop 😎

[@ignacioinder]

Been a fan since 1997.....the man! Gregorio Cocinar!

[@kxmrock]

LOL @7:00 ~ 7:10 …. Jazz Guys Condemning Vibrato~ LOLOL … I never even thought about that. I'm Glad this Video was made because Greg history was a mystery to me, though i have known of him for 10yrs now Begining WildWood. A super entertaining player who can play Any tune off the cuff

[@superblondeDotOrg]

All these old guys were simply born within the booming decades of music. Everybody after 2000 never made it out.

[@chronicinsomnia]

Greg was instrumental (puns) in my purchase of the Cybertwin and the Cybertwin SE. Still own the SE and use it regularly. It like Greg were ahead of their time.

[@RobertJSedky]

One of my favourite musicians. Great story 🙌🏼🎸🎶

[@snartzzb983]

Love it Greg.

[@chadwickhurlburt6529]

Greg Koch is the guitar hero the world needs but doesn't deserve.

[@jayrocknurse5386]

Truly Great

[@MattyK-USA]

A great synopsis, especially for fans that may have heard parts of the story but not everything in one sitting. Greg does a livestream here on KZbin every Monday and Friday at 5:00 PM Eastern, where you can hear him work these Fishman electronics OUT! Just look for the Greg Koch channel, or the Fishman hashtag - see you there 🔥🔥🔥

[@PowRKord]

The only livestream on KZbin one can be tardy on time😛

[@MattyK-USA]

@@PowRKord We try our best, PK! 🤷‍♂🙂

[@RobertFairweatherMusic]

Koch rocks!

[@jimbaxter8488]

Regaling us with tales of yore!

[@andrewbecker3700]

The Gristlemaster has found his way into many an innovative guitar and its associated gear. This could be his ultimate legacy. Helping to get new and "better" sounding products to the masses. An ambassador for tone. Also, if your from his hood. You get a great laugh everytime you here him spit them nasties. Many an unsuspecting villain has had his mind blown, by the linguistic salad that shoots forth from this giant. It's classic Midwest slang at its finest. Peace!

[@mikeb6462]

Greg has signature guitars with Reverend Guitars and signature amps with Koch Amplifiers out of Holland, Amazing man, who has not only mastered guitar playing and music theory, but who has a deep understanding of everything involved with performing on electric guitars! I am sure, if he desires, he may someday be involved with signature guitar strings and picks!

[@IPLAYLOUD]

I met Greg 25 years ago at Fender HQ in Scottsdale. A true gentleman and guitar monster! I want to know what TV Show themes he is on.

[@jayrocknurse5386]

It could have been me that said the same exact thing. I might have picked John Lennon to do the report on. I personally thank you for mentioning Grand Funk. Your style and your playing are really good.

[@jeremyversusjazz]

just finishing watching this…im from chicago. after getting kicked out of Interlochen Arts Academy my old man-an advertising guy-got me a gopher gig at Streeterville Studios downtown right off Michigan Ave-where all the ad agencies were. I bet hreg worked sessions at streeterville around the same time tho i dont remember him but then, he wouldnt have been the notorious Drade we know today! i did miss the chance to meet Elliot Randall, tho, since i was out buying weed for one of the engineers when he came in. lol

[@roughcutguitars]

Thanks for the great 'told' story, but it's the UNtold story I think our collective breath waits bated for.

[@johnsmith-ug5tp]

I can remember seeing Greg demoing the Fender cyber twin amp on TV in 2001/02 on TV. haha

[@PowRKord]

^5!

[@j.j.lavishly827]

Fun stuff. I went to a Gand clinic once featuring Todd Rundgren. Wonder if it was the same event.

[@mikeb5372]

The Great Gregorian

[@jeremyversusjazz]

btw what is that logo on the trucker cap?? “Webb” something?

[@chrislestermusic]

I think it’s a Webb Wilder hat.

[@BackToTheBlues]

If jazzers ever get snobby about bending a note just cite George Barnes at them.

[@adamtick]

Clicked for young Koch

[@brucecoyle2743]

Greg is actually Jesus 2, his mam and dad never had sex and he just turned up one morning singing the guitar solo from Foxy Lady! True Story!

[@johnsmith-ug5tp]

Greggoreo. 🤣
