When Greg was explaining...the room was so quiet that you could hear a mouse pissing on cotton. Lmfao Those people were yielding their FULL attention. Haha

[@gkniffen]

... or the room was empty and Greg is nuts.

[@mudwiser1391]

[@luisGonzalez-cv6dc]

What are the 2 Merle Travis songs he plays?

[@Rainy78]

Hands down one of the best guitar players out there! Greg Rocks!!

[@toneswithtommyrobbie450]

Roy Buchanon fan here!

[@surfstomp]

If you do the same bend up on 9th fret E string and catch the 9th fret B string and release to 6th fret B string and then go into the above lick---it is really twisted.

[@ThomasAtzinger]

I learnt that bend from Carl Verheyen.

[@smoovegittar]

Took me about 6 months to figure that out. Gotta get those hands strong if you lack size.

[@brianwarner308]

[@rdickinsondickinson]

[@sharkair2839]

[@radtone]

' Comedy Guitar ' - lmao

[@briandarabaca]

Does Greg has his own style? I hear mostly licks from others?

[@totalcontrast]

+Briand A -That's the dumbest statement I've read on here for months...hahaha!

[@erintaylor5856]

All you hear from anyone is an adaptation of other people's styles. Duh

[@BrandOdyssey]

He has recorded about a dozen of his own albums. And he has his own style for sure.

[@EvilSean62]

great to watch .. also you have a doppleganger ... my freind ... i`ll find or take a photo its lol because he bought a guitar and wont practice... then he bought an amp ... still sounds terrible ... cant understand it ... i got a guitar AND an amp ... not working ... naturally next purchase was a multi fx floor board ... built in tuner .. so... how you liking the tuner ... meh i never use it ... my first guess is antimatter ... if you ever shake his hand the two of you will convert to pure energy

[@twinsmm1]
