Some of the best tone I’ve ever heard on the channel, what a player!!

[@billpholde4816]

Never heard of Jeff Kollman. What an articulate, self-effacing, witty guy, and a great guitar player too. Good one, John!

[@southwoods4991]

check out his band Cosmosquad and Chad smith and the Bombastic meatbatssss

[@hugofolch876]

Jeff is an absolute beast of a player ! Criminally underrated ! Thx PG for this awesome rundown

[@osanan]

Jeff Kollman is one of the finest guitar players ever, but a criminally underrated musician. His tone is top-notch, and he is melodic and musical, and also can play ferocious riffs and full shred solos. What a musician!!!

[@JeffKollman]

The bridge pickup in the '59 surf green Strat is an Arcane Brownbucker.

[@salvatorenapoli152]

Dude your tone is the amazing

[@Busyfingers24]

Jeff is one of my favs…not only a monster player but he absolutely has the tone of the gods👍

[@richpeltrick1492]

This guy has the best licks I've heard on Rig Rundown. He hurried us through through the rig but worth it to hear all those distortion textures.

[@mattr2128]

His work in Edwin Dare is phenomenal

[@bighardbooks770]

I've known Jeff since his Toledo, Ohio days w Mark Mikel; have seen him live a couple times; glad to see him here 🎸

[@dougiemanross]

Jeff is a badass! Been a fan for a long time. And he’s an Ohio guy (Toledo). Those long cold Northern Ohio winters make for some great guitar players.

[@sergioluizguitar]

Jeff Kollman is an amazing player! For those who don't know him, listen to his solo record "Schizoid" from 1990 and to his band Cosmosquad!

[@bleeknoir]

Every guitar sounded wonderfully balanced to me, string to string and pickup to pickup .

[@Kasper911band]

Never heard of this guy,but his tone is the best I’ve heard on all of your rig rundowns!!! Including some of my favorite players!! Just so big and biting tone! 🏆👍🏽

[@jonholland6067]

Check out mogg/way chocolate box, awesome stuff!

[@JeffKollman]

Thank you.

[@Fishbulb77]

Jeff is a monster, his No Guitar Is Safe episode is a must-listen

[@GuitarJawn]

JEFF KOLLMAN IS THE MAN, SO HAPPY HE IS ON PG

[@MichaelSorensen-bl3ec]

Jeff is amazing. Some of his stuff with Sign of Four completely blew my fragile little mind. He's just a force of nature.

[@butchjones3497]

Jeff IS The Man! A Tone Monster and my favorite Guitar Player on the Planet over the past 15+ Years! He's INSTANTLY recognizable !

[@Jaundice__]

He's got fantastic tone in that opening bit. Love APP.

[@billvillamusic3625]

The Greg Koch impression was spot on 👍. Great rig rundown!

[@marvelharris9540]

Nice rig rundown. enjoyed it!

[@janders3205]

Most underrated guitar player ever! Glad he’s still rocking!

[@Thirsty_Deer_Studio]

I saw AlanParsons Project in 97, I believe it was their 1st tour. And grew up on their (his) music since birth. Not even counting the Floyd and Beatles and other Abbey Road Projects. Alan is a legend

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Love a rundown with all the jamming thrown right in there.

[@MikeMadrigal_guitar]

The most underrated guitar player ever! His band Cosmosquad and his solo records are really inspiring and amazing. His tone is right up there with Andy Timmons and Eric Johnson in my humble opinion. It was about time that this guy had his Rig Rundown video.

[@premierguitar]

Yeah, he's the real deal! It was a blast to do the video with him.

[@dooda77penn19]

Blimey, Brilliant guitarist 🎸, enjoyed that👌

[@LouCondon-j1v]

Loved this group when I was in HS way back in 1976.

[@jeffreyburmeister6775]

Bowsher

[@eduardobairral7929]

The strat sound is so unique and gorgeous ❤

[@frankpicha7180]

Jeff, you always sound amazing!

[@stepitupandgo67]

I've never even heard of Jeff! What a dude!! Quoting Accept will always score you points in my book...that Les Paul is sick for sure!

[@rogercardenas111]

Cosmosquad!!!!!! Amazing fusion band .

[@patrickmckay6621]

jeff has been a good influence, like his tone and playing very much! Greetings from germany!

[@TutorialesMezclaMastering]

The best tone in earth! But the secret is his hands!!! :P

[@wildbill7]

Absolutely stellar tone man!

[@TheErikrust]

Jeff is a complete badass! What a player! Damn.

[@augustzadramusic722]

Amazing player with incredible tone(s). MONSTER!

[@dougbooth3161]

The first time I heard Jeff Kollman was on his own song, "The X Factor". I've been a fan ever since. Amazing player!

[@mrkula]

Jeff Kollman is a guitar player’s guitar player.

[@frankierodriguez8661]

The one and only . If you don't love Jeff you are completely wrong. And forget Parsons, Cosmosquad is the thing.

[@TheThinker39]

Wow! What fantastic playing! I had wondered who played guitar for Parsons. It always sounded excellent on his recordings. Kollman's playing is wonderful, whether or not he played on the recordings I particularly like. Parsons really selected a great player! Great sounding, creative, interesting, and no reliance on meaningless shredding. And he uses the volume pedal just the way I've always wished I could use it. Wonderful control over sustain and feedback. Best wishes to him! And thanks for posting this.

[@premierguitar]

I’m glad you enjoyed it! Jeff is a real talent.

[@NEINLIVES999]

Jeff is a monster player! The Meatbats killed at the Baked Potato, back in the day! One of the best live tones I've heard at the Potato.

[@Jeff.D024]

Dude had some crazy good sounds coming out of that Marshall!! Dialed in perfectly

[@premierguitar]

Yes! It's always fun to watch someone who can really make the gear sing!

[@Kasper911band]

I think everyone who is using digital modeling as a rig and claiming it sounds like this should have to watch this and listen and then listen to their rig rundown! lol 100 watt tube head and 412, grown man rig!! 💪🏽

[@Duncanlinc]

Make no mistake though, amp modelers have their place on any stage. All a matter of preference and what serves the band, musician, overall mix and sound.

[@tuberocker69]

Amp modelers suck!

[@onenotesolo256]

I think most of us git-fiddlers agree with this. And many of us use tube amps where we can. I also realise that some gigs (whether the arrangements, the need for night-on-night consistency, the ease of portability, set up and tear down, or the venue’s rules) require a different set up, and the modelling option allows those gigs to go ahead. I run two tube amps wet/dry at every opportunity, but I bought a Quad Cortex for those other situations. It’s great fun, as well as offering the option of switching to multiple FX and amp options that I don’t own (and I’m lucky to own a bunch of amps and pedals). I’ve been working on hybrid options to get both worlds: stereo out to FOH and mono out, minus the cab sim, to a power amp and real guitar cab behind me on stage, to preserve the feel of playing an amp. Some people want / have to use IEMs, so modelling works. I will champion real amps forever, and I don’t prescribe to the “audience won’t know the difference” argument, because it’s also about what I can hear and feel; but it’s good to have options.

[@JeffKollman]

@@onenotesolo256 Well put. Whatever inspires you. I can use a small deluxe and 3 pedals and done.

[@papa_pt]

Great stuff. I agreed with almost everything he said regarding setup and lowish output pickups

[@MichaelCoughlanmusic]

I LOVE THAT HE LOVES CLASSIC METAL.

[@damonstewart70]

Anyone not aware of Jeff's music is missing out. He is a monster guitarist

[@nicok5630]

The low strings on that Strat - OMG

[@jeffreyburmeister6775]

Toledo proud! Keep it going Holmes!

[@jimmyelectric]

Have the same guitar in brown! Got it for around 600 usd during the pandemic. Just as good as my $2000 les paul; maybe even more resonant

[@user-Brianvh5150bp]

Super cool guy great sound love the EVH drop my hero we all love Edward I bet his rig sounds awsome live!!

[@peterschaefer1665]

Killer player with killer tones!

[@RockCityWear]

Kollman is a beast! Kills at everything he does. I was lucky enough to catch a small club show with the Meatbats, and it was fantastic to watch him work up close. A favorite, for sure. Check out Cosmosquad, solo stuff, Edwin Dare, Bombastic Meatbats and Mogg/Way’s Chocolate Box.

[@fives.]

8:46 a terrific Mansquatch impression if only 'cos he nailed Greg's grandiose lyrical prose lol

[@59plexi]

man that was thick and sick!!!!

[@horsevinyl]

That's what I call a professional guitarist.

[@applehead252]

Iron Maiden shirt won me over ! Great video and very informative.

[@unfcknblvbl]

Jeff is a monster player.

[@glaucosouza1971]

Monster Player !! 👏👏👏

[@DanRodriguez1]

Wow that strat sounds so good

[@rabbirelax]

Amazing player!

[@Hydroglide-h6g]

Just great tones, nuff’ said

[@timothyworkman1275]

Love this guy

[@ANDYONRY]

Would have a cold Three Floyd brew with you any day Jeff!

[@evanward4303]

This guy f#ckin RIPS. Chocolate Box!

[@PhilJakes]

Dancing With St Peter is really good also

[@Deetschify]

sounds prett< good! love it!

[@laytonyonaka6259]

Dang........JCM 2000 Dsl that was the first marshall amp i ever got R.I.P. it got fried in a thunderstorm

[@williamweber8573]

Luckeyyyy! Cheers 🍻

[@LukeErmie]

Flop n go straight from Toledo🤘

[@BoyAditya]

I know Allan Parsons Project during covid lockdown 😅. At least I discovered 200s new artist and abuse that Spotify during lockdown.

[@Ottophil]

Strat and SG are my mains too

[@MRxr400]

ok, the SG was kinda cool sounding and good riffs, but the strat sounded epic to me, especially his playing on it. very woody as he says with very clear string definition. I had a JCM2000 years ago, can't say i ever really loved it, but this amp sounds great to me.

[@gregmize01]

Killer TOAN!!!!!!!!!!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@evankeal]

Very few have perfectly useable harmonic feedback dialed in like that, just hold a note and its there if you want it.

[@adamkrauss303]

I had to go back and look at the date of this video again, when he started talking about “kids” getting a reasonably priced Gibson SG and not having to spend $5,000 for a custom shop. Last I checked, non custom Shop Gibson SG’s ranged from around $1,700 to $2,400? Anyway, great tones on those flavors of drive. Really suprised chorus is not his thing, as I’d think Parson’s tunes have some chorus.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

The difference between the suit look, and the long hair 🤯😂

[@bingefeller]

First time I heard Jeff was with Edwin Dare in the 90s. If anyone hasn't heard the Cant Break Me album, check it out. It has some of the best guitar playing of that decade.

[@goblina_subpeona]

The Sg sounds best to my ears. Wow

[@MrUltraworld]

Cosmosqaud!!!!!

[@tabriel]

Would love to have tab of that intro. Very distinct.

[@RubyDimasStudio]

What the year of the Gibson SG i?

[@rareform6747]

Rock you Beast ! Great Amp ...Great Tones Like Kings X . Jeff and Leah Bluestein would make a big Crash Hard Rock Band ...

[@JeffKollman]

I gotta check out Leah ?

[@rareform6747]

@ She’s the real tiger

[@TheJP3]

Great player! And you’d need to be to fill the big shoes of Ian Bairnson. RIP, Ian.

[@johnwbusbee]

Shit, sounds incredible 😍

[@drewflax]

Great guitarist and he could be Dana Carvey's brother. :)

[@YujiHorie-z3v]

SG is slim, Light weight, and clasic design.

[@joerectifier]

How long ago was this filmed because Jeff Marshall has been playing in the band recently….?? Another GIT product that is an excellent player

[@JeffKollman]

My great friend Jeff Marshall is helping us out filling in. I’m still in the band but I had prior commitments for a 2 month Japan tour. I’ll resume the shows in 2025

[@joerectifier]

@ right on, sir!

[@modernemod123]

Gibson can do a Dark Lord under a grand for sure - after all it's always Christmas at Gibson !

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

FINALLY! Jeff Kollman is such an awesome player and far too underrated. Go find Cosmosquad records friends!

[@BenBen09]

What was that first riff?!

[@JeffKollman]

'Fat, Mean and Nasty' Jeff Kollman 'Shedding Skin' 1999 release.

[@Slovy_]

I don’t know who told aging rock stars that they look cool with Karen haircuts.

[@marianne7659]

I like his haircut a lot. Great guitar player and great tone. 🎸🎶

[@paniccleo]

That's a very good sounding SG. Lots of them have this brittle, nasal quality that really ruins them for me.

[@vincenzoerriquenz2356]

We really live in an Age of " post-truth": if you define a Marshall half- stack, two Guitars and two pedalboards *simple* we' Ve Lost the meaning of words😂

[@57ebartley]

Is he sponsored by 3 Floyds brewing out of Indiana?

[@jorgiewtf]

Tonewood doesn’t exist.

[@bobboitt3126]

Amazing riffs and tone for days. Blows me away with that controlled feedback....yikes!

[@DougErapps]

Jeff is the MAN! Love 'im ta bits!! One of the GREATS!!!!

[@jonholland6067]

Doug you rock too brother!!! Love the guitar demos you are doing for incognito!
