Greg has always been one of my heroes, since the first time I watched his instructional videos 25 years ago. but whenever I have seen him representing whether it was fender or any other equipment his personality was so funny it was worth the price admission . if he never played that was just icing on the cake. very good interview you showed the person not the technician only. You are an excellent interviewer thanks again.

Greg Koch, Warren Haynes and Scofield are my top 3 guitar heroes. So nice to see Greg also thinks highly of them! And of course it would be a joy to see them playing together.

Greg’s the man. Can’t wait to see him in a couple of months. And you’re welcome for watching and my input. Ha.

[@jazzguitartoday]

You have something to look forward to Russ. As you know, we appreciate your support.

[@MattyK-USA]

Greg is a musical treasure. He can play literally anything, in any genre - and adds his own irreverent personality into the mix, whatever he plays. I've been a huge fan for many years. I hope all the folks watching this and commenting will come and join us Gristle Gang fans on Greg's live streams, every Monday and Friday at 5:00 Eastern Time - it's a heck of a community! 🔥👍❤

Great interview with one of the best players alive today. When he mentioned that he's buddies with Jimmy Herring and they've talked about doing something together I got excited. What a pairing that would be.

I saw Greg Marshall Trio recently and one of the greatest shows I've ever seen and heard. As a musician myself, I was amazed of his talent, energy, and professionalism. Love the TRIO talent.

How many bands have asked you to join them, and you said no? You remain a wonderful player, with a great ear, fantastic timing, but most important a fantastic sense of melody. Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only Mr Koch.

Good host with right questions + probably the most charismatic player out there (his musicality’s abilities are obviously included) + the chemistry in between the two = a quadruple thumb interview, so I’ll use 2 thumbs up + 2 big toes up as well 😊

Excellent interview, I really enjoyed it. Guitar has always been my passion but there's so much music out there that it's not possible to hear it all. I know Greg but only as a name really so I will make the time to listen to some of his music.

[@jazzguitartoday]

Sounds like a plan! Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.

This was so fun and interesting! I feel related to many of the topics in this video. I don’t like limitations so I love exploring and finding new ways to approach music in general. Music has been my living since I was 16 when I got my 1st paying gig in Mexico City. I started at 9 years old and now at 41 years old (moved to Seattle 16 years ago) I feel like in a new awesome beginning specially since Covid hit and changed everything . This video is inspiring me to just go for it and keep looking for more and more. Thanks Bob and Greg !

Great video. I’ve been following Greg for a few years, it’s people like him that follow their own path that are the innovators. I too am a Grant Green fan, he is probably my favorite guitar player. Thanks again and keep up the great work, love your channel and have been a subscriber for a while now.

Greg's wife must have a day job. You gotta have someone supporting the operation. I like how Greg minimizes his formal musical education, so as to not offend the hoi polloi guitar player crowd, who learned in their garages. Good fusion blues/jazz guitar playing at the Funky Biscuit: melodic, interesting use of chromatics, good key changes, accurate playing, good phrasing. lots of variety in the licks (Good jazzy organ playing by Toby Lee Marshall, too.)
