🎸 Jeff Beck Guitar Lesson - Greg Koch's Guitar Heroes - TrueFire

[@onesavedvoice]

Greg Koch is an awesome player. So creative and spot on, awesome. A great tribute to Beck, a master black belt Ninja. But Koch is world class too. Loved it.

[@kwik2hear915]

Greg kick's ass

[@deanoppergoalieclinics834]

Greg,I remember seeing you play on same stage as Jeff Beck @Fender Fest 03-31-2006! I was talking to Seymour Duncan,and we both stepped away to see your amazing set! Last time I saw you was joining Robben Ford for his encore in Waukesha,WI last Summer 2021. I agree with you about paying homage to the great Jeff Beck! And Keep up all the great work, love your playing!

[@GreggOliverBass]

Jeff Beck plays many genres, and just flows. He is a hero

[@mickstick5112]

Jeff Beck : Master of the unexpected!! Keeping guitar players on their toes for generations.

[@marmadukewinterbotham2599]

I first saw Jeff Beck in 1965 with The Yardbirds. His playing has given me a lifetime of joy - as well as helping my amateur attempts at playing guitar.

[@birdsfabulous]

That had to be incredible. I got to see Jeff Beck in atlantic city w/Buddy Guy a few years ago. It wasnt like i didnt know what to expect seeing him, but when i was there watching him live it really did blow me away. The sounds he gets out of a basic strat is amazing. If you had no idea who he was u would definitly assume it was a floyd rose equipped rig woth a ton of effects. Amazing

[@scttymc1967]

You are one lucky devil.

[@pandemonet]

Searching for a Jeff Beck 'tutorial', I knew would be a tall order for any guitarist to offer. But Greg Koch's video came up at the top of the list. Not to put down everybody else, but anytime Greg Koch delves into tutorials, you know you'll get more than what you paid for. He didn't go in depth on the whammy bar or harmonics Jeff Beck is known for, but you feel his deep understanding of the player we all lost. Thank you Mr. Koch, thank you Jeff Beck...rest in peace.

[@BANGKOKJUNGLE]

Is this genius for real? Beyond gobsmacked at this depth of guitarability and musicality…the last time I was blown away like this was the first time I heard Jeffery Beckery! Kudos maestro…!

[@TrueFireTV]

Oh yeah, it's for real. *mind blown*

[@AaronBowley]

jeff becks solo on his track seasons is one of the greatest guitar performances fking ever

[@davecorbin5088]

Totally agree!

[@steved1099]

Been listening to jeff beck for decades. but when someone else spells out his playing like this... its just mind blowing. A true guitar innovator. also Greg is awesome as usual

[@NebulaStudios1]

I saw Jeff Beck in Boston. He did the Beatles A Day in the Life. I was stunned at the sound and expressiveness with the instrument. I would have ended with that and walked off. Instead that was only one of the amazing things he did that night and came back and did an encore. The entire show was mind blowing. Thanks for this video. Always great to watch you play.

[@MreViewer]

One of my favourite guitarists talking about one of my favourite guitarists

[@clips4u2006]

The only time I've actually cried tears of JOY when watching a show, was watching Jeff up close at a couple of different concerts at the Warfield in S.F.. Literally streaming down my face gazing and enveloped in his grace.

[@wernervolkner2371]

So ging es mir, Anfang der '90er, in Dortmund. Es war überwältigend!

[@joelsmith4816]

His playing does have that effect. He's so humble. CLASS ACT.

[@musicalSFCat]

Holy musical flashback. Saw that same concert up close on Jeff's side of stage, at the Warfield in San Francisco. Same thing happened (tears) while he was performing "A Day in the Life." This big tall guy next to me looked down with smiling with tears running down his face, after the song was over. The four concerts experienced since '89 with Stevie Ray Vaughn, were all fantastic.

[@RickatSonyRed]

When I saw Jeff in "76" at the Palladium in NYC, I brought some friends with me, who weren't too familliar with him. By the time the show was over, that part of their relationship with Jeff took a huge leap to becoming their idol, as far as duitar players go, and to this day, they're still blown away.

[@kwik2hear915]

@@unclewalt1 Sounds " freaky" 😝😝😝😝😝

[@ianbates6618]

Saw him last night in Cardiff. Just amazing. Been waiting for two years to see him and he was out of this world. His control, precision, tone. Incredible. Makes all the rest look like beginners and he can play every style. Superb band that blew the roof off. The best of the best 👏👏👏

[@tedcabana]

Jeff has left the building!!! Though he will NEVER be forgotten. His music, and style will live on forever, as the greatest Guitarist of the 20th century, and the first quarter of the 21st. He was is one of my greatest influences on guitar. And I just want to say thank you, Greg Koch, for keeping his "so unique" style of playing alive. I have seen many imitators in my life, doing him justice, but none have ever come so close as Greg. Thank you, MAN, for studying Jeff's style so well and keeping it going, and passing it on. I expect in the years to come, there will be many "Jeff Beck" tribute albums, and concerts, which I will be part of. And I am quite sure that you will be the leader of the new tribute-trend of reviving Jeff's music, art, and skills. Again, I just want to say thank you, Greg, for keeping his spirit alive. You are the next best thing. And nobody does it better. God Bless!

[@oar5926]

RIP to the man

[@philhudge]

I was privileged to see Jeff prior to him joining the Yardbirds. He played in a band called The Tridents and I saw them on several occasions live at Walton Playhouse in Surrey . He used to play a blonde telecaster and I think he used a Binson Echorec . Great slide blues and rock but he really went to town playing Bo Diddley covers like " You can't judge a book " where the band would get into a groove and Jeff would add all sorts of sounds and colours using a slide , harmonics and inventive 'tricks' - but always original and completely in control of his instrument .

[@neilmanns3098]

I'm jealous!

[@motokev2727]

Just amazing what JB could do on a guitar. I'm sure Hendrix would look in awe. Thanks for the great music JB. RIP

[@jfo3000]

I'm sure Hendrix had respect for Jeff even back then. I do believe that I read this somewhere.

[@beachcomber4141]

I had the thought that Jimi is going to FREAK when he sees how good Jeff got! RIP Maestro

[@rabbirelax]

I often wonder if the guitar world, fully realizes, what a treasure this guy is.

[@austinfailz]

If not, they do now...

[@j_freed]

Most especially the guitar world… I think guys like EVH learned especially from the sheer strength in Jeff Beck hands, that’s the sound. It’s why Eddie sounds the same on every instrument.

[@BeantownToBigD]

@@j_freed EVH idolized and was influenced by one guitarist, Eric Clapton in Cream and he never did an instrumental album : )

[@scottjames2355]

This is beyond ridiculous. Greg, every time I watch you I can barely stop myself from leaving the office and going home to practice what you just demoed. You are a gem, thanks as always.

[@tago69mago]

Jeff is so unique and his sound has changed so much over the years but always sounds like Jeff Beck. He seems to inovate and never stand still. Great vid and that track you played was incredible. Wow!

[@Musilesson]

Jeff doesn't seem to get the same level of reverence that some of the other "guitar heroes" get from the younger generations, but I always encourage my students to listen to him. To me, Jeff always sounds "free". Like he's saying exactly what he wants to say on the guitar without any limitations.

[@dolly5279]

THAT IS BECAUsE HE PLAYED MAINLY IN JAPAN AND THE USA. He felt that if he was not going to be promoted in GB, THAT THERE WERE OTHER PLACES HE COULD EARN A LIVING. Look up Japan Full concert 1999 with Jennifer Batten, Steve Alexander , Randy HopE Taylor and Jeff Beck. WONDERFUL!! Cynthia Allen-McLaglen

[@Musilesson]

@@dolly5279 Sounds like an amazing concert. I will definitely look it up! Thank you!

[@Lola_Santoro]

I love how ypu describe Beck at the beginning. I'll never forget when he was inducted into the RnR HOF in 2009 (the 2nd time) a guy at work argued that Beck hadn't done anything to deserve it. I was floored. I wasn't even a huge Beck fan, but still knew he was legendary.

[@flyonwall360]

As a kid in the 70s I remember we would play the Blow By Blow album over and over. Very awesome to hear Greg going over JBs style. I'm hoping that I get a chance to run into Greg again. First time I saw him was at a small club on Donges Bay Rd. Then I ran into him at Cream City Music as he was preparing to demo some Martin guitars. The last time I saw him he was crossing the street in Tosa with a cup if Joe in hand. He had a smile that went ear to ear. Always a treat to hear the Tele master discuss the craft of guitar.

[@theleftymonster]

Everything that Greg does he does it the best. He is one of my top guitar players of all time.

[@thomasjohnson7735]

A monster. A monster explains the unique qualities of a granmonster. Gives us a song applying the granmonster recipe followed by demonstrating the intracancies of the dish. This is a gem. Mr. Greg Koch, you sir cooked a killer with a ton of chops. I'm gonna have to eat this elephant a bite at a time. Thank you Sir.

[@crankertom2974]

Brilliant video with loads of interesting stuff. And the presentation is outstanding in terms of playing and sense of humor. I love it.🤩

[@MEGAMIGA]

Greg Koch is so good at explaining guitar styles!

[@jonathanwebb3035]

Jeff just keeps getting better! He's incredible! His recent work with Bones is so inspired and inspiring! Great you give Peter Green and Mick Taylor some much deserved credit too!

[@mattfleming2287]

What a monster! I love how he never mentions how Beck just plays with his fingers...yah, no problem.. Learned a whole bunch, Greg. Thanks!

[@Shadowman-1960]

The best guitar teacher I've ever seen! 🗻 🕊 🦅

[@cantonllc]

Jeff Beck saw a guy in CT called ‘Storm’ , who jammed with Ginger Baker. Had to be in the early 80s, this guy had just done session work and Beck was amazed at this sound. Amazing how good these sessions guitarists are.

[@erneibollmtt1263]

Amazing Lesson. Please more from Jeff BECK

[@cyrildia]

Man, that Strat is splendid ! Besides, skills are awesome!

[@jeffrey.a.hanson]

He’s always my reminder of why guitar should be ‘fun’. The Jeff warble inspired Heartbreak Warfare, one of Mayer’s most innovative riffs. Completely changed the way I approached a whammy bar.

[@philtron1969]

This is so great! I’ve always been fascinated by Beck. And I just love Greg. How cool to demystify some of those Beck tricks in the hands of another modest and joyful master. Bravo!

[@johnberg1326]

Good Lawd that was badass deeelux. You are incredible, Greg. Not only a very strong Grip but nice insight into Jeff.

[@robertparsons5295]

Greg Koch is one of my favourite players. Just love what he has to say, with the instrument and about the instrument.

[@iggyfritz7150]

My friend you are a fantastic guitarist I love that you've been able to pick up so much from Jeff's Arsenal. As a guitarist myself I don't know if you've ever attempted this. Try out on the song where Were You or Nessun Dorma or even both. Two of the most challenging songs I've ever attempted on the guitar I spent an entire month just attempting "where were you" and I could only get outside the ballpark I don't think anybody ever gets into Jeff's ballpark. 😂 like you said Jeff keeps raising the bar with every album I've never known a guitarist with such control over his instrument he can mimic human voice,harmonica, the list is immense. And he does it with his hands truly astounding. Jeff is a minimalist you will not see Jeff with a large pedal board in front of him usually just a rat Overdrive Wawa pedal maybe a voice box which he hasn't used in years. And his secret weapon he uses basically for Echo and I just so happen to know what it is and I have one for myself sorry I can't divulge this information I may disappear 😳 Keep that torch burning of real talent.

[@gitaaa7740]

Greg is my new guitar hero! His playing was amazing!

[@livewire4495]

One day they will be talking about GREG like they do about Jeff. Greg can do all of the greats and still has an unmistakable style that can be immediately recognized as KOCH. Plus his Verbal wit and oratory processes are on a Higher Level! 😎

Freshest guitar playing I've seen in a long, long, long, long time. Nice stuff Greg. I'm your newest sub.

Jeff Beck will never be copied, but Mr. Koch your playing is so sick! Amazing player in every way?

[@ApeLikeCreature]

I always wondered if Beck was a main influence on you, you both have the same joy, soul and crazy fun in your playing.

[@markwolfe4444]

Beck (one of many things) made the best "slide" effects with his whammy/volume control techniques. Nice video man, you are so inspiring. The High School bit is so true.

[@edgardpedrosilvajunior6947]

Great playing, Greg. I"ll never dare sound like the "unimitateble" Jeff- the one- Beck. But you did it very well. Congrats, master!

It is amazing Jeff always getting better. Thank you for posting this

[@bryanstaddon5998]

I love about a million guitar players but Jeff is top of the heap for me. Thanks for this.

[@marklerwill8530]

This is a great clip. You nailed some of Becks techniques and explained what is so cool and innovative about his playing

[@James-hi5ji]

Ironically the only time I had seen Beck live, Greg Koch opened for him in June 2010. Beck was incredible! But as you can see from this video, Greg is no slouch either. I saw Greg two more times at a local place in Milwaukee in 2018 with Jim Liban. They were awesome. An extra bonus was meeting them.

[@lawrenceel5321]

Beck is spectacular, talking with his guitar. *Once* in a while in a video here and there he'll actually talk in words about something... trading guitars, something about classic cars, technical stuff, and at those times he is most pleasant to listen to because he's soft-spoken (and maybe just a little shy?). He doesn't have a loud voice. He doesn't have to be the center of attention every time he's in public. He lets the guitar do the talking, as he keeps his mouth shut. Yet another good lesson from Jeff Beck.-

[@neilstegall2090]

Saw him in ‘68 with Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood, ‘76 with Jan Hammer and 2016 with his touring group. Amazing to have samples of his career from over the years. Love his playing. Wah wah, Jeff Beck.

[@bradleyshuppert3393]

When you hear Jeff Beck with Eric Clapton on Further on up the Road, from the Secret Policeman’s Ball….. Eric gets blown away with Jeff’s soloing capability and it is truly some on the most unexpected riffs you will ever see right up til the end where he hits a G harmonic on the 5th fret and reaching behind the nut and pulling it sharp….. just unbelievable

[@neilmarsh7437]

just watched that, found it on YT, thanks for the tip!

[@davidsparks6146]

Fearless,... Bold,.... innovative,.... unexpected and surprising.... this describes Jeff Beck as a musician and guitar player.... he plays with the guitar. Sonic diversity and quiet tones that hook you immediately. Greg, you also play like that but with your own twist... the Gristle twist!

[@robiandolo]

I don’t usually like green on a guitar but Greg’s guitar is particularly handsome with the gold trim! Cool

[@jodylowe8476]

I grew up listening to my Wired album, then went thru a period where i forgot about Jeff. Rediscovered him after seeing him live at one of the Crossroads concerts and today, I still listen and think he is the top of the mountain as far as electric guitar goes. Then again, I recently heard Hendrix on my Band of Gypsies album playing Machine Gun which still blows my mind. Still after all these years, I get chills when I hear that. Well also for me, its hard to beat Neil Young plugged into Old Black, which sounds like a wall of awesomeness coming at you.

He might have been too young to join the Yardbirds and he has somehow managed to fly under my radar until just a few years ago. He's a total fingertwister and a wildly entertaining guitarist deserving much more spotlight !!!

The orange album was recorded right here in Memphis at Steve Cropper’s TMI Studio, with Cropper producing. Killer album indeed. Highways is a killer track from that album.

[@psaint60]

Without a doubt, his version of Goin’ Down is my favorite Beck tune. Meant to be played at maximum volume. As with many of his songs, it’s not just the note selection but what he does sonically with the volume/feedback. I didn’t fully appreciate Clive Chaman’s bass playing until I got a nice sub. To keep that pace up for that long is pretty impressive. Big fan of Truth too, with Rod at his best.

[@joelsmith4816]

The show's he did with that young girl on bass is too good. His tone coming out of those magnatone amps was INCREDIBLE!!!!!

[@michaelhernandez439]

So cool someone finally did this for Jeff. He kept my powder dry when I was over seas. Saigon 75. I heard SRV threatened Jeff that his Roadies would hold him down until he showed Stevie that high harmonic Jeff hits . I read Jeff say he hits the 2nd fret B string to get it. I think out of 1000 tries I nailed it once. Howdy neighbor from Sweet home Chicago. You're a BMF Greg !

[@wildwood20147]

Greg you killed it brother! jeez somebody get a bucket of ice (his hands are on fire) . I have seen Jeff Beck 3 times over the last 20 years. You do him justice. BTW I saw him 3 years ago live and he never changed guitars over even tuned over the entire concert.

[@kevinporter6426]

Greg that is a BEAUTIFUL Strat! That green with the gold hardware! OMG!

[@hazor777]

All his material is great, but IMO, he really started pushing the boundries with Guitar Shop, and after . The musicians he's surrounded himself have helped to elevate that inspiration too - I've seen him several times (1995 and after), and I gotta say, LIVE, there's just no substitute - he is absolutely stops time and moves air. When I saw him in 1995 , first time , when he was on tour w/Santana, Terry Bozzio was on drums, and the energy coming off the stage was so palpable, so thick.... it was unforgettable. I believe they were breaking into 'Big Block' and just the sheer vibe was ridiculously amazing. Here's to more tours and material from one of the greatest to ever pick up a guitar!

[@glennhecker4422]

Great respect to Greg for his skills and analysis. Great video. That kept in mind, it’s one thing to play like JB or anyone else. It’s another to pioneer this stuff. I love Steve Morse, John McLaughlin, Pat Metheny, Jimi Hendrix, Mark Knopfler, Albert Lee, Roy Buchanan, Frampton, SRV, Jimmy Page, etc. because of their skills and *inventiveness* and creativeness and/or writing, but there was always something about Jeff Beck that really got to me. He was always out there on his own trying new things, even if the songs were borrowed. There will never be another of any of these players (except for perhaps EC, all due respect). They are singular, but JB was especially so. There is no one waiting in the wings “We shall not see his like again.”.

What a great and revealing post Greg....I learned so very much from it about one of my all-time and lifetime heroes since "Hi Ho Silver Lining" and before and after that. The only thing that JB did that I didn't like so much was the intro to "You Shook Me" where it sounded like the guitar being "sick"...it was so real. Finally, you don't appear to have a locking nut on your Strat but it stays remarkably in tune after the "gymnastics" you put it through....is there a secret here???
