Mateus Asato and Greg Koch Jam at the Suhr Guitar Booth • NAMM 2020

[@MateusAsato]

Greg - thanks for the huge inspiration. This was a super special moment to me. Seeing you playing right by my side was a real privilege. So much vocabulary and good taste. Thanks once again!

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

You played brilliantly man. It was 50/50 all the way

[@stevenheath741]

Mateus Asato So great to see and hear you absolute giants of the fretboard going at it .....

[@jimmynikriket848]

dude you better have Greg as a guest if you ever have an album in the works

[@brentcgp]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@tomquayleguitar]

You sounded great Mateus! Looking forward to jamming and hanging out with you in August!

[@marendur]

Dude, I've just discovered Mateus Asato and I'm totally addicted!

[@haript1000]

Me too bro maybe the best guitarist come from japan ichika , hizaki , syu , uruha,mami,haruna Etc XD

[@marendur]

@@haript1000 Actually, Mateus Asato is brazilian, but his parents are japanese. In fact, Brazil has the biggest japanese population outside Japan.

[@welitondasilvasantos2334]

[@PowMusic]

I love how playful Koch is and how fluid Mateus is. Loved hearing their different styles blend.

[@mochisowner]

You can see how excited Mateus is to be there-he keeps looking at Greg like he can’t believe it.

[@Ahtnagarp]

A young virtuoso who respect the senior Salute for both

[@panjandrum.conundrum]

The youngster is way ahead.

[@brunovilhena114]

I really like Mateus' playing, and music is not a competition, but actually Greg is definitely ahead.

[@whoisthis5476]

@@panjandrum.conundrumhe’s a great player but it’s not even close. Greg is the best guitarist alive and amongst his peers they all say the same.

[@johnpeterson5354]

This is a historic jam now . . . . . . . Looped hundreds of time.

[@wbales2592]

Two very different styles blending amazingly. This was sick.

[@CammedFox]

Mateus is easily one of the best young players on the planet. But no one this Earth hears music like Greg. That phrasing is alien, in the best of ways. Love this so much

[@AlexVonCrank]

Greg is a dirty, greasy man!

[@paulotoni3285]

Greg's voicing technique is just something special!

[@marks7192]

Saw Mr. Koch open for Vai years ago and then jam with him at the end of the show. Soooo good. Mateus is wonderful

[@AnkurWow]

I don’t think I’ve seen Greg have that much fun in a jam before or smile as much ✨

[@juhan9117]

Two absolute legends...still listening in 2021.

[@Guitarguy-55]

Two of my favorite players of all time. SOME DUDES!

[@kaneki4403]

3:26 Amazing how both of them started playing triplets in unison ❤️

[@gravityfreaksmusic]

Greg playing with other giants at Namm is one of my favorite genres.

[@kinetiscapemedia9757]

What I really love about this clip, even more than the fact that it is some of the most incredible impromptu guitar jamming I've ever heard, is how genuinely happy they both are at the end, to have spent 6 incredible minutes being so inspired by the person sitting next to them.

[@migzduh-gee-ya3061]

the way they read each other's mind at 3:25 .. insane artists

[@isaiahmarquez9717]

That was fantastic. Always brings a smile to my face with moments like that.

[@colehodgdon9529]

Jaw dropping

[@levivolaju883]

No. It's just part of the chord progression Greg created and taught to mateus along the way. Actually mateus ran out of improv at that moment so he just played the chords.

[@mjs2016]

@@levivolaju883 you must be fun at parties

[@levivolaju883]

@@mjs2016 correcting the ignorance is not fun? What are you talking about

[@brad9652]

JUST HAD AN EARGASM❤

[@ZackRL96]

Mateus’ playing felt so inspired after Greg’s solo. So cool to see

[@jer48888]

Two of my favorite guitarist! I don’t think they’re used to playing with people that can hang with them individually and this was just amazing to watch!

[@iamcallidus5397]

4:41 oh boy.. Koch is a beast.

[@epexusJeffryDalisay]

That's a jazzy 6 minutes and 33 seconds of pure fun.

[@troyoswald5683]

Greg is so humble and so accomplished. Very refreshing.

[@Sascha_Franck]

Most amazing thing being how these guys keep the tempo and time steady.

[@kipponi]

Both have left legs keeping rhythm steady.

[@kamarulhisyam5281]

I guess its more than 30 times i've seen this video but i stil never got tired to listen this.its enjoyable.

[@MarkMerrick]

Mateus and Greg, Thank you for making one of my wildest jam fantasies come true. That was ear candy in the trust sense of the words. Please make some more music together because that was magic.

[@gsmeeuwsen]

Two absolute MASTERS

[@timweber3277]

Two of the absolute greats 🔥🔥🔥

[@eazycheetah]

Elvis used this progression while introducing his band. Very cool!

[@GTRHEAD77]

That's right. James Burton!!! Funky chicken picken Son of a gun ever heard in my life.

[@SN.LurkinG]

​ wow thats awesome! Thanks sharing

[@chrislloydguitarist]

One of the best jam sessions ever between two inventive, tasty guitarists with mutual admiration. Some great lines and licks in there.

[@biggstile]

I couldn't breathe. I could only smile.

[@paulgilbert3139]

What i didn't expect is that greg played some of melodic minor and other outside licks. I'm glad that blues players took something from jazz vocabulary and add them to their playing, and make it more interesting for the audience. I tired listening to the same old blues scale and pentatonic box for over than 20 years. I need some refreshment

[@nguquaxanguyen5224]

the chops and vocabularies aside, their phrasing and how it relates to a whole solo beyond individual licks is amazingly rich and sensitive.

[@prawirasatria7399]

Mateus Asato: 26 year 3 signature guitar without ahaving any single album International artist World Tour Me: 28 year Only know 8 guitar chord and one Smoke On The Water intro.

[@macsoto6947]

Me too...LOL

[@EVEROSFP1]

Music is first and foremost to help you understand your self. Comparisons are useless.

[@bingefeller]

more and more famous guitarists don't have any albums, just lots of clips online. You can do it my friend!

[@hogriderzueiro7456]

Man is Just practice, i have 16 old, i play guitar for 1 year, and i practice every day, and now i play megadeth songs and the solos, but that was dificult

[@jbonez0078]

He has world tour. He is the guitarist of jessie j

[@roymontero4066]

Glad to see Greg enjoying a jam with youngin (and a great guitarist of course)

[@michaelyork4554]

Love seeing guitarists trading licks, and just energizing each other, always gets the inspiration going. Would love a Suhr

[@pascalgalipeau8760]

This is just amazing. Two of my favourite players!

[@thatampguy]

I never watch these types of videos, but I’m so glad I caught this one. Great players and really surprised at how nice the modern suhr gear sounds.

[@eduardoprieto5267]

The energy was phenomenal. Trying not to enjoy it so much because my wife is next to me and I'm suppose to be winding down for sleep.

[@deetepper6059]

Nobody is better then greg🙌🙌🙌

[@PDXguitarfreak]

First, thank you to Wildwood for selling me my latest Suhr - you guys are AWESOME. Speaking of awesome, what a fantastic pairing of Mateus and Greg. Such phenomenal players, and of course, I love Greg's humor too.

[@johnclark1925]

OMG. That’s is astounding! I was actually laughing out loud... gasping... what an amazing jam! Thanks so much for posting.

[@stevenhepting8013]

So glad they got this on video🤩. It makes me happy

[@jeremypleso676]

This put a smile on my face.

[@warren7949]

What a pleasure to watch. I could feel the enjoyment jumping out from the players. World class is probably an understatement

[@CamKnoppMusic]

The black and gold tele-style guitar is so badass

[@paul_domici]

So Great to see there's still Talent and Passion in music!!!

[@jacobrodriguez6071]

Been waiting to see these two together for a long time now!

[@troyoswald5683]

I love Greg's unbridled enthusiasm !

[@jaimefilho2041]

Um absurdo esse Matheus kkkk O cara nasceu pra tocar guitarra, impressionante!

[@crowhaven200]

Wow, I love Greg Koch... NO one is like him. This is the best video From NAMM hands down. And I think maybe the best on youtube right now. Imagine how good Mateus will be when he is Greg's age. Greg is a machine, and Mateus is amazing. I don't have enough thumbs ups... I would love to see Josh Smith sit in on this one too.

[@EVEROSFP1]

Greg as as i know is as good as when he was in Mateus age.

[@sumoblues]

they are the same age in the space-time continuum

[@johnryan527]

Their styles are set and they can mess around and in stuff but age got nothing to do with this experience once you get to a level when you can do the mechanical , then it's in your brain where you go

[@rossdonald594]

The height of taste!!! Fabulous. Thanks guys.

[@100percentbajan]

For the past 5 years at NAMM there is an outstanding jam session posted on YT, and the award goes to ....... !!

[@iiiphase4606]

So rad. Made me smile the whole video

[@leekisu_blues]

This is truly the greatest staccato on fingerboard I have ever heard. Beautiful. :)

[@tommytorres]

wow

[@StoicTrader-]

Incredible, couldn't help but smile.

[@Sjguitarpnw]

At the end of the guitar game, these are the two final bosses. But for real, two of my favorite players together with some koch-ery thrown in automatically made my day much better. So happy for this video!!

[@mhdz10]

You both should play together more often, great musical chemistry between you guys!

[@slowpoke7888]

Just amazing. Thanks guys.
