🎸 Greg Koch Teaches Blues Guitar Comping (Part 1)

[@massimos6863]

Greg Koch is one of the greatest Guitarist on the Planet.

[@randysimmons9838]

He's unique

[@massimos6863]

@@randysimmons9838 hi Randy he sure is very unique he is absolutely amazing.

[@1tgiuntac395]

in? Just kidding, he's awesome.

[@dpatt6175]

Good player not a great teacher

[@roberthead3930]

Yes he is! And he possesses a rare wit as well!!

[@tropix12]

Way off the charts for most of us...the sophistication here is spectacular.

[@scrambledmeatco6563]

The absolute coolest guitar geek to ever walk the gristle’d earth! Dudes got more licks and talent in his toe nails than most big stars

[@josegallegosdds]

This dude’s just from another planet. And he makes it look so easy. That is a true master of his instrument.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Zepster77]

Well said!

[@user-no1cares]

Great groove but way too advanced for me.

[@wesleyc.4937]

🦷 That chewin' on tin foil tone just popped out my fillings.

[@Godspeed961]

I play guitar 13 years and cant do nothing of these things. OMG i need to learn everything from GregKoch :D

[@rodneychristian9834]

As usual, Greg has shown his mastery of harmony and the fretboard. It's easy to see why Joe Bonamassa says that Greg is the best guitar player in the world.

[@marybethhempel9101]

Wow, I didn’t know that! 👍😎🎶

[@ericksaulchangperez9388]

With all the respect to Mr Bonamassa, i didn't need him to tell me.

[@brianolson_music]

Hard to not agree with Joe on that one! So Cool he said that. I didn’t know he did.. awesome!

[@primtones]

The funniest too! I fondly remember seeing his take on chicken picking and Led Zeppelin back in 2007: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIK0eodqiK97prs

[@surfrby8876]

He is , and he’s pretty darn funny

[@gk4929]

His Rhythm is lead in itself - the breadth and depth of his chord vocabulary, and ability to embellish and adlib them....Just another level - this stuff can't be taught or we'd all be doing it!!

[@whatwouldhousedo5136]

So ridiculous that anyone would give this a thumbs down. I guess aside from the entertainment factor, the UNBELIEVABLE level of skill, and the generosity of his teaching ability, what's to like...

[@erichufschmid5730]

I’ve said this on almost every one of Greg’s vids… his personality comes out in his playing. Absolutely incredible!!!

[@MRoo1oo]

This is gold. Way back in the 90's I used to see Greg and his band in Milwaukee. I never thought I'd be learning from him "on the computer".

[@alanhowell3646]

I’m sitting watching this with a huge grin on my face. So amazingly satisfying. Love Greg’s playing

[@davidharvey8812]

Pure genius! So technical with style and feeling , Seriously I could listen to him on his own all night !! There’s not another guitarist that I could do that with , without getting bored after ten minutes. Just truly one of the best , if not the best in my opinion 👌🏼

[@MegaTubescreamer]

just a breath of fresh air and good cheer with a legacy of a sustained permasmile ,, thank the good lord for greg koch,! the planet needs him, our souls need him ,,,no not your shoes silly!! 👍😇😎

[@DanielC__]

Incredible licks. Greg is a master!

[@tameroy]

Taking blues to magical places

[@tomdecuca3627]

His sense of humour can sometimes overshadow just how good he really he is!!

[@jmwise80]

His sense of humor is all up in his guitar playing. He’s constantly telling jokes with his guitar too. Mr Wiggles. Love this guy.

[@fatfitnessnerd9064]

This kind of makes me depressed. In my head I know I'm watching one of the best guitarists in the world.

[@GypsyLane]

Pound for pound, probably the country’s best guitar player… every genre, every style!

[@luboetr]

That's a true, real lesson!

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

Who is this guy ? The best of the best that's who You are just absolutely wreckin' that Revrend.I will watch this video from now on...Cant believe its been 5months already

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

Love when Greg just goes off jamming strait to hell and back and then just looks up and says" You get the idea"...

[@joemitchell9981]

I've noticed that a lot of the really great players are huge physical specimens, in regards to their hands. Not taking anything away from the obvious mastery Greg demonstrates but Greg, Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert and others have ENORMOUS hands and long fingers.

[@rick00770]

Iv learned some things I always wanted to watching some of Greg's lessons. I don't read and haven't had lessons. So to pick up things from someone like Greg is a masterclass.

[@122Music1]

My God!! Real deal player !!

[@WayneSorbelli]

Riff at 3:59 is insane. Greg I’ll spend this morning trying to copy that one my grizzle dizzle shnizzle guitarizle dude

[@jasethedisplaced]

The meat on that tone is amazing

[@mybiggrin]

This video is my blues bible.

[@adamaba1135]

Strumming my pain with his fingers..... geniius!!!!!

[@arthurblackhistoric]

Greg, I've been watching your videos for years and there's something familiar in your speaking voice that's been eluding me for years . . and today it hit me. You speak very similar to Alan Sherman, the comedian who used to sing comedy words to popular songs, kinda like a forerunner to Weird Al Yankovic. That all having been said, I thoroughly enjoy all your music videos, even though I often can't tell when you're giving it to us straight, or cracking wise.

[@robert-wr6md]

Glorious.

[@markmcmyn8967]

Huge knowledge, of a LOT of the good stuff on guitar.

[@largeeng]

I've watched this a couple of times, or more, and I am still mesmerised. In just over 10 minutes he goes over so much stuff, if I sat down and really concentrated there is probably a weeks work, a month? probably longer before I could even begin to get a handle on this, but to actually have that soak into my pores so I could call that up at will, well, that would probably take the rest of my life, maybe longer lol

[@peterhamilton6604]

Love you Greg. You are a soul genius .

[@scrimmerman]

Mansquatch wisdom of the highest order!

[@robinmatjanoski5318]

Bravo Maestro!

[@salvadormarley]

Highly advanced stuff - drifts into jazz and way above my level.

[@SMart7751]

Oh gosh, my brain just got a massage through my ears. That was F’n awesome!!!!!

[@abcantiques777]

I love this guy…he’s funny but informative and from Milwaukee.

[@cubistone]

even the stones couldnt get me to switch to teles but this guy did

[@dickeyblues3011]

Best guitarist Ever!

[@brianwagner4918]

Not only is Greg an amazing guitarist and an awesome teacher, he's freaking hilarious too!

Greg always has such great tone. Whatever amp or guitar he plays.

[@stephencanderson2344]

Wow- enough material here to try to absorb for a lifetime! Top notch.

[@Doty6String]

Outrageous playing my LORD

[@carlsalazar4490]

So many idea’s to incorporate into my playing. Thanks Greg.

[@Gary_28]

Ok..... so I've now gone from wanting to learn, to now wanting to throw my guitar in the bin after watching this! Amazing guitarist!

[@ayushmanbhalla8737]

simply a genius guy.....

So versatile! A lot of “Kochery” licks which I just adore :)

Yes. Yes. All that kind of stuff was good for me. Thank you Sir!!

Greg definitely went down to the crossroads. Awesome stuff playing in the pocket and making it look easy!

[@HawaiiJetboat]

This, over shredding, every day of the week and Twice on Sunday. Wow.

[@davidt9841]

Very happy to be here! You Go, Greg! All that stuff IS good for you! 👍🎸✌️😎

Best guitar lesson I've probably ever had...may you never thirst ....thanks for sharing that...I'll be working on that for a long time.

[@Pedraforta]

Heads off!!

[@tavijov]

Thank you very much ! Greetings from Argentina.

[@riviecc]

Enough here to keep me busy for a long long time for such a short video . This guy is amazing

[@felixschwarz6263]

That toneknob wiggle sounding like a wahwah @3:19 is siiick!!

[@surfrby8876]

I didn’t even know comping was a word, except in restaurants 😬Thanks Greg another smooth n easy to digest lesson with grace and humor

[@thenextgreat8652]

Greg did a demo video for the custom Martin I bought from Wildwood back in 2017 and oddly, I’ve never been able to make it sound anywhere near that. I was actually slightly worried it wouldn’t be a great sounding guitar since Greg can make a toy guitar with 30 year old strings sound great but fortunately, it was a mix of a great player and guitar merged together and was $3K+ well spent

[@chrislehman1343]

I loved the pseudo jazz/blues grove in G. I could hear Miles Davis riffin" in my head! way cool. Ive got some work to do today. Diminished and minor 3rds are my bread and butter. And yes, you are absolutly right.

[@Breakrite]

Definitely need to practice my “schweedle-schweedle” more….. You the man Gregory!

[@aussiecoastie72]

Great player 😮

[@beechymusic5753]

Great video but everyone should slow this video down to at least 3/4 speed and listen to Greg say “girth”. Gets me every time! 😂

[@rdwwdr3520]

There is so much information (even unspoken and implicit) crammed into this video, it's incredible. The best video I have seen on sounding great in the blues world, comping or otherwise. I will be watching this again and again! Thank you!

[@miscellanyman263]

Koch-Rhymes-With-Chalk: one of my favorite guitarists of all-time!

Saw Greg in NH around 2001 at a seminar for fender amps. He was really good. ☘️🇺🇸🎸

Thanks! You just provided me with a lifetime worth of practice material ha ha time for me to woodshed

Sounds amazing, but what are the chords that he’s unsung to comp with?

[@thedave3704]

Shweedle Shweedle! This guy has his own language.

[@sunjamrblues]

Plenty of good ideas here. As Greg says, the trick is knowing when to transition from simple shuffle to complex comping.

[@brianolson_music]

Wow. Speechless. Thanks for the lesson. That feels like an understatement

[@doyleallen3762]

OMGreg! Kind of stuff I look for and above that too. Super duper info.... I hope TrueFire works with you on this kind of great stuff in future courses. Thanks!
