Mateus Asato and Greg Koch - NAMM 2020

Mateus Asato and Greg Koch perform an impromptu jam at the Suhr guitars booth at winter NAMM 2020 (Saturday Jan 18, 2020)

[@FoiMal123]

Greg should've named his signature guitar "Greg's Koch".

[@BellTunnel]

We need more of this. The people deserve more Kochasato!

[@Feverdream7777]

... Ass-Koch ?

[@eringabrielle8932]

It deserves one additional man -- govan!

[@michaelhedden9437]

@@eringabrielle8932 Kochasatovan? I'd be down for that!

[@vejichan]

It was a relief to hear this when u hear chug chug all day long

[@robertoneal1909]

Two absolute wizards of sound.

[@malcelinho]

I won't even lie, I saw Mateus's name and already clicked 'like'

[@maximebazin1134]

Greg's fingers were forged in the mountain of destiny

[@dannysmith373]

WHAT.....

[@EatItWithSticks]

Say it again!!!

[@EatItWithSticks]

I hear ya cluckin big chicken!

[@jannisderksenmusic665]

This level of musicality is illigal

[@AddyAdderson]

I hate when I get in a jam in front of people with a guitarist I don't know, and he proceeds to de-pants me - without even trying.

[@InGratitudeIam]

Ah, the glorious, nuanced and otherworldly flavors of "Namm Jam."

[@mocash97]

awesome to hear these guys jam together!

[@garyj6006]

Unconventionally spectacular! Mr Koch, you are the man!

[@lueysixty-six7300]

I get more from watching these two funky chickens than I did from watching Vai, Satch, Gilbert, Strauss, Polyphia super stage shred - sorry shredders, you were my childhood God's, but..things change, I guess!

[@DiamondLifer]

Check out Charlie Robbins. Great young player with amazing technical skills and soul. Very very creative newer player.

[@lueysixty-six7300]

@@DiamondLifer thx for the tip. I just watched "look I'm dancing". The kids got chops! This is the kinda stuff I'll watch in awe; but when I just want some music playing, I'm still more drawn to the kind of stuff Greg Koch serves up. I just discovered Richie Kotzen (he's by no means new! I just discovered him, tho). That's the kind of muso pro I'm most impressed by these days - less gymnastics, more groove.

[@Knight14649]

DiamondLifer -another new young player that is reminiscent of GREG Koch is Anthony Cullins. Check him out..

[@sgtcaco]

Yeh I been through them all, but I always come back to hear Greg.

[@SirJenkz]

Luey Sixty-six calling Polyphia shred.. clearly hasn’t actually heard them, mateus is even featured on their newest album.

[@robertbrown1778]

Breath of fresh air. Two innovative players, very different styles, working together wonderfully.

[@inchskater]

They are really listening to each other while playing. A true joy to watch!

[@mjmason75]

Mateus Asato is one of my new favorite guitar players. I'm a bass player, and I don't even play guitar, but his playing is so beautiful and technical to me. Love his style!!

[@orafael.coelho]

Im a huge Mateus' fan, but Koch was the one shining here. Fortunatelly, music is not a competition!

[@ToneArnold]

If this was an hour long I would have watched it all and not complained. Absolutely awesome!!!

[@Sammy86]

Love how Greg gets serious after Matues lets it rip in the last few bars of his solo..

[@ibloocheese]

This is so sick!! Did you guys see when Greg jammed with Eric Gales a few years ago at NAMM? 🤯

[@soecidigital7236]

Yeah, so sick!

[@claudep.1926]

Koch is on another level. Such an interesting and versatile player!

[@serjicalforce]

2:39 greg summons the blues gods of yesteryear. Amazing riff! Just AMAZING!

[@ShadesmarRS]

This was a match made in heaven

[@bontorvernantamardoharsima3990]

The Fact is Greg is legend, and mateus is on the way to be a legend . Cool

[@MK4vDubbin]

That kid is going to look back on this day when he is older and think GODAMN, I still can’t believe those dudes.

[@azharkhan8796]

He's a prodigy.

[@chumleyshaver7942]

Comin' Home Baby

[@Knight14649]

I think Greg is an amazing player. His bends and signature phrasing’s are insane.

[@MikeSullivanBornToShine]

beautiful duo

[@HumbertoNalves]

Two legends, one young and other so full of tricks

[@inaldooliveira6797]

TOP de mais. Meu Brasil está bem representado, Obrigado Mateus Asato

[@Jibosau]

What a match made in tone heaven!!

[@victorw7520]

4:37 mateus stopping his run to give greg the spotlight #respect

[@johannlop1076]

victor w He was ready to give greg a fatality but Mateus is toooo kind.

[@lambchopzzzzzzz]

Johann Lop lol nah man. Luv Mateus’ playing but Greg is definitely the more interesting player. Dude goes GOD mode every time

[@johannlop1076]

megaatomicmuffin I guess it’s a matter of taste, to me Mateus is way better on every level.

[@victorw7520]

@@johannlop1076 yea gotta agree.. mateus seems more fluid with his improvs

[@lambchopzzzzzzz]

Johann Lop that’s fair. I do think Mateus has done a lot for the neo-soul style and is very fluid. Greg just always seems to surprise me with something new in every video I see

[@marcusviniciusoliveira8129]

Greetings from Brazil. Congrats Mateus

[@andersoncraft]

Mateus Asato really touched by the presence of Greg Koch

[@cpamiseso]

Thanks to this, I now aware that on 0:25 it was Quincy Jones - Comin' Home Baby in a way.

[@serjicalforce]

That walk down at 1:55 gave me chills. Awesome stuff!

[@johannlop1076]

What if Guthrie Go...... never mind...

[@johnnydeeme]

I always dig Greg's right wrong notes... unbelievable!

[@lodisonkom3367]

Wonderful n nice playing Guitar both

[@m0nkey13]

Two of my favorites. Both have distinctive open styles. So tasteful.

[@DaveSteele07]

They need to tour with each other!!

[@grahamsampson769]

Very compatible players -- both are comfortable using their fingers and utilizing percussive clicks.

[@CommercialForest]

I saw Mateus a few years back when Suhr did NAMM factory parties. Amazing player! (miss those parties, too).

[@SinnGread]

THEY NEED TO DO A ALBUM !!!!!! NOW!!!!!

[@obsoletecd-rom]

That was awesome. Thanks for sharing!

[@esongsore]

I am not a guitar player....and yet, I can't get enough of Greg Koch

[@daviddemar8749]

Wow!

[@andrewshortt4338]

So sweet when two class acts give each other room to breath...unfortunately Greg’s hat steals the show.

[@uketarist]

Wow. Really woud love to see them collaborating in a new song, they both are really tasty guitar players. I'd say Greg is chilli and Mateus is honey, risky but flavorful combination, kinda like our mexican candies xD

[@gtr_jong]

Greg... you are best blues man..!!!

I've never asked this before due to reasons but why are there 3 dislikes? What's not to like here?

Some Slipknot fans must have snuck in here.

Probably jealous of that beautiful hair :)

[@akistimmons]

Greg is absolutely amazing and his tone is otherworldly. Young Mateus stills has a lot to learn after all (he is also one of the greatest guitarists around)

[@jcthomas1836]

Sick as sick can get!

[@Beatsmith2005]

Extreme, elite level wizardry.

[@reynaldocostaoficial528]

Congratulacions Greg!! You are amazing guitarrist!!!

[@lancethrustworthy]

Goodness gracious! Whew!

[@malkavian6275]

World class players

[@JimmySlacksack]

The master and the pupil

[@petersonpaludo9366]

Two monsters!!!!

[@PhilBot4OOO]

Mateus is a master composer and phenomenal player but in this setting Gregs creativity and session experience really outshine Mateus I feel. Mateus is like the ultimate bedroom player who's taken a trio to the big convention whereas Greg is like the humble rockstar who just has chops and style for absolute days. Pleasure to watch them have a 6 string conversation!

[@ArthurWM9]

His "creativity and session experience really outshine" him, yet his phrasing rarely if at all "outshined" Mateus'.

[@drtone]

volume balance doing no one a favor

[@penguindrum264]

Greg is way older than Mateus so of course he has more studio experience, but Mateus is growing fast in the professional world. He'll have just as much experience in no time, even now he's considered a world class player by many.

[@sgtcaco]

It’s a bit unfair to say that now, Greg has a ton more experience in playing with others.

[@PhilBot4OOO]

@@sgtcaco why would it be unfair to tell the truth? Greg does have more experience, that's exactly what I pointed out???

[@yondamono6688]

Greg takes his cooking very seriously both in and out of the kitchen !

[@rexcushman3233]

Definitely, every now in then...a piece of heaven..on earth! Man!..shut my mouth ---- sapphire ---BAMN!!! You, & You HAVE TO make an album TOGETHER!! THANK YOU!! TELES, TELES, &More TELES..amen! No drums,No bass,No rehearsal,..let er' Rip!! Damn!! ..SON!!!! Chet & Jerry & Danny& Roy& A.C. have to be toe tappin' & a Grinnnin'! God Bless America!!🇱🇷🇱🇷😎

[@RickDanner]

asatos 1st solo the tone is great

[@pplo]

absolutely amazing. greg's bends and phrasing is amazing.. also I'm a big Asato's fan... so, incredible video. I love when they go a little bit funky... If you guys knew what Brasil has done to the funk ... I'm so ashamed. There's nothing to do with actual funk, they call it funk here, but it is absolute garbage. Everytime I say I like funk I have to explain it after, "I'm talking about REAL funk"

[@DatAnydeks]

Man I like this!! 👍🏻👍🏻
