  • Greg Koch tunes up for the soulful jazz funk song "Way Back Home", a cover of The Jazz Crusaders song written by Wilton Felder. Greg killed the tone that night on the Anodyne stage with his Gibson Collector's Choice #15 "Greg Martin" 1958 Les Paul and Koch Twintone III combo amplifier. This one's a Wow!
    Greg Koch - Electric Guitar
    Dylan Koch - Drums
    Theo Merriweather - Keyboards
    Eric Hervey - Bass guitar
    Recorded live at Anodyne Coffee Roasting Company in the Walker's Point neighborhood Milwaukee, WI on March 16, 2017.

      I third that. What a beast on guitar. And his story telling is almost as good. Down to earth. I could hang out with Greg any day.

    Apart from awesome lead. This is a great display of beautiful rhythm work during that astounding keys solo. Not getting in the way just chugging away soulfully. Nice.

  • @WiserInTime

    I occasionally hear some folks say that humbuckers sound garbage clean and Gibson guitars are one trick pony rock guitars. I beg to differ. Greg is getting some of the thickest, creamiest, delicious clean sounds in this video. Man that sounds sooooo good! Les Paul + Koch amp....Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yummy.

    • @ferox965
      @ferox965 7 років тому +3

      WiserInTime No guitar is a one trick pony...only the player. At a jam last weekend, I watched a guy deliver some of the tastiest blues ever on a Jackson Rhoads...wish I had've filmed some of it...

    • @RafFail47
      @RafFail47 7 років тому +2

      I agree. Though, to be fair, he's playing a '58 Les Paul re-issue. Those pickups were originally meant to sound like P90s. Absolutely love it when he adds the dirt around 4 minutes in .

    • @SGspecial84
      @SGspecial84 7 років тому +1

      Depends on the pickup man. Its not the guitars fault. Low wound humbuckers can chirp and chime with the best single coils.

    • @SGspecial84
      @SGspecial84 7 років тому

      This is incorrect. Some guitars do a particular sound better than anything else. Its generally because of the pickups. Hot pickups lack versatility. Its usually not the woods fault.

  • @richardharrold9736
    @richardharrold9736 6 років тому

    I think I may just have found the greatest 'classic style' (for want of a better term) guitar player in the world. God damn. I've been more into modern, innovative players (of Greg's generation, Kim Thayil and Fredrik Thordendal; of my own, Rabea Massaad), but I haven't heard anyone make a vintage-style Les Paul sound so sweet since my mum gave me her old Led Zeppelin IV cassette...

    I'm curious to know if Greg is just running straight into the amp here, or if he also is using the old Gristle King as well. I'm only seeing the amp footswitch, so I'm guessing straight in. This video is my standard for guitar tone and playing!
