Guitarist Greg Koch's virtuosity, sense of humor and articulate nature, have led to a successful career as a bandleader, studio musician (heard on dozens of national T.V. and radio ads), contributor to Guitar One magazine, and artist/clinician for Fender. 8)

I've seen and met him and highly recommend catching one of his shows, clinics or YouTube clips. :wink:

Agreed! He could easily have a successful career in standup comedy -- the dude is absolutely hilarious. Combine that with his mega guitar chops and he consistently delivers a performance that's pretty hard to beat...

His DVD's are great and I missed his clinic in Birmingham but everyone said he was awesome.

Needs his own variety show :)

People should definately check out Koch's demo concerts, his CDs, and his web site.

Greg is very entertaining! Disruptive, great chops and funny all at the same time. He should be known as "Mr. Humble".

Here's a pic that I know Greg hasn't seen:Image

Here he is with Roscoe Beck, and the very talented Hilary Jones on drums doing a Fender demo.

Amazing man. His playing on the CD with the 50th Anniversary Stratocaster book is positively mind-blowing.

What a virtuoso!
