    greg is the epitome of "playing" the guitar....he's a great technician, but he plays with joy and a sense of humor. Anything that rocks me and makes me laugh at the same time is alright with me!

    Lots of players can play millions of notes, but Greg has got to also be one of the most entertaining guitarists on the planet.......and the special fluid with which he assembles those notes is ......just beyond ! way beyond .

    Greg is GREAT. A really humble guy. He knows that he is not in the "A list" of guitar gods. If he looked more like a rocker or dressed differently, then maybe. He's been at this for a long time and knows everyone. Yet, remains good-humored and humble. Long life to you good sir!

    His sense of humor is waht does it for me. He can play just about anything, but it's the cracks and jokes that do it (I highly recommend his instuctional videos). "Good clean fun"!!!!
