Greg Koch-Blues Shuffle Lesson

[@jariparkkonen2238]

I´m a 65 years old intermediate "hobby player" from Finland repeating the same patterns over and over again. Listening to your playing and your approach is absolutely inspiring. I think it is impossible for any other human being to play like you, but thank you for your tutorials and personality.

[@adamcherry434]

hey Greg, 50 yr old Aussie here woodshedding away on the telecaster for last 2 years of covid. Listen to your podcasts, watch your stuff. You should be so proud of your specialist telecaster skills and repertoire built over a lifetime - plenty other players inspirational but none any better - magnificent achievement with sparkling personality to boot. Pirate on and spank it - Adam, Fremantle, West Australia.

He is...the...Master... I actually grew up w this guy...and watched Him from day one..... He played for only like...6mo...and was already mastering..Stones...Clapton..Hendrix....u name it....was pretty incredible to watch... I think the guitar took Him by storm...as much as He took it by storm.......

[@adamcherry434]

@@michaelfitzpatrick6307 thanks for the insight Mike. Makes sense - supersonic learning - for some like Greg it then becomes a natural extension of their hearts ,hands and mind. Its a blast and a privilege to have access to the caliber of guys like Greg Koch on the UTube coming outa there lounge rooms and into mine. Probably the most challenging thing at times is to just laugh and enjoy rather than get over whelmed. Good stuff, thanks for the info.

Unfreakin believable this only has 4K views. The modern day humbler. (Gatton nod)

Love it when you play this raunchy, yet sophisticated shuffle. Thank you for breaking it down. Still a lot to digest, but I love the spicy and dissonant notes! Getting the ‘basic’ shuffle down, with the turn arounds, the raunchy parts would be awesome.🤩

[@seahorsie76]

So much packed into this little lesson!

So great. Thank you for your time creating this video, I’m gonna sit here and learn it.

[@johnw4659]

Thanks, Drade !!!!

[@Ruubinnn]

Thanks Greg! This is great to practice the hybrid picking for me.

[@robboriff]

Superb help thank you 😊🙏

[@JoshPaterson]

I love the harmonies. That ending chord Emin9Maj7 is so cool. I would never have thought of that in a blues setting but it's so hip. It's like something out of a James Bond movie.

[@AndSch77]

[@mikecollinson3478]

Thanks for the lesson. Dig it!

[@donkkong5551]

Thanks, Greg! I will take all the info I can get...

[@alexanderbrown4250]

Great lesson! I first saw you play some time around 1991 at Summerfest. One of my friends had played the same stage right before the band you were with took to the stage. I think you had long hair back then. We were very impressed by your performance.

[@albertocolombo4220]

I thought I knew that cords progression....amazing!

[@aobyungcp4330]

u are a legend

Cheers Greg

[@chrispowell3880]

[@hearpalhere]

Well, I'll be practicing this for a while :-) Love your style so much Greg, thanks for a great lesson!

[@hearpalhere]

Still working on it!

Hey thanks for the nice 🎶🎶🎶Greg 🎸👍🏻

[@donaldmccoy49]

the northern tone squatch, in his natural environment, displaying tips and tricks for succulent tonal bliss...when I was young(12-13), there was a family friend, Jim Bohannon, who much like you, was an artisan of the blues idiom. He spent 6months to a year teaching me these same techniques.. discussed his influences,(chet, johnny w, duane, clapton, dickie b...) and this had a PROFOUND influence on my eventual tone, phrasing, ect.... this lesson was like a time capsule back to 1983.....then I heard EVH......LOL

[@CalliGom]

Thank you Greg! I'm still struggling with yesterday's lesson!

[@michaelsicowitz362]

I really think you're getting the hang of this guitar thing. If you stick with it there's just no telling .... That move you made (7:48) going up was the Keith Richards move. Do have any idea how good of a teacher you are? I do.

[@spyderlogan4992]

The full Keith move is moving both elbows out for the extra body english...

Greg, congrats on getting the '53.

[@MontyCantsin5]

3:03: Should be the G string, not the B.

[@davidkornblatt991]

Its walking blues no shoulds apply

[@joaomarcosvalerio9874]

Thanks! 🔥

[@johnnowakco]

hey Greg, as a follically challenged individual, where do you get the caps? lol, seriously though. I need something for my bean.

[@reddragon3509]

How is your EQ with a Tele for Blues tone?

[@jonnyonthespa5153]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@matthewpierce8935]

Is the lack of sustain on that Tele due to low amp volume? Or does it just sound flat like that naturally? All your notes sound chocked off.. Also, thank you for the lesson!! Very kind of you to post this type of material..

[@FURDOG1961]

[@alanhowell3646]

At 3.06 shell voicing you said B string but you meant G string

[@lancethrustworthy]

Amazing, Grace...or in your case, Greg! Mudge tanks. :)

[@gillesdelattre1320]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6aofaGKm7-Vaa8 the shell voicing is E string D string and G! string all rignt? I think he said B string. It sounded weird and I checked on this other video

[@BinoRucker]

i have never seen a popular video with zero thumbs down!! so sweet

[@TheRealSandleford]

You ever play this with just the pick? muting the middle strings? Did you do a bunch of stevie ray vaughan lessons with a red strat too you seem familiar? Wait, never mind yup it was you!

[@freddymclain]

I believe that 'crawl up' is referred to as 'passing tones.' I think that's the 'legit' term. Love your stuff!

[@jellyfish74]

my picking hand has always been incapable of picking and finger picking simultaneously. bummer!

[@AndSch77]

This last chord was so much Billy F. Gibbons

[@todd.goslin6190]

Your right hand is very ambidextrous.

[@ronniemowbray3796]

Don’t you mean b string

[@cryptotroll1232]

This lesson is great but it should be called how to play two blues guitars at the same time.
