    Pure genius! So technical with style and feeling ,
    Seriously I could listen to him on his own all night !! There’s not another guitarist that I could do that with , without getting bored after ten minutes.
    Just truly one of the best , if not the best in my opinion 👌🏼

    So ridiculous that anyone would give this a thumbs down. I guess aside from the entertainment factor, the UNBELIEVABLE level of skill, and the generosity of his teaching ability, what's to like...

  • @gk4929
    @gk4929 11 місяців тому

    His Rhythm is lead in itself - the breadth and depth of his chord vocabulary, and ability to embellish and adlib them....Just another level - this stuff can't be taught or we'd all be doing it!!

    I've watched this a couple of times, or more, and I am still mesmerised. In just over 10 minutes he goes over so much stuff, if I sat down and really concentrated there is probably a weeks work, a month? probably longer before I could even begin to get a handle on this, but to actually have that soak into my pores so I could call that up at will, well, that would probably take the rest of my life, maybe longer lol

    Greg, I've been watching your videos for years and there's something familiar in your speaking voice that's been eluding me for years . . and today it hit me. You speak very similar to Alan Sherman, the comedian who used to sing comedy words to popular songs, kinda like a forerunner to Weird Al Yankovic. That all having been said, I thoroughly enjoy all your music videos, even though I often can't tell when you're giving it to us straight, or cracking wise.

    Greg did a demo video for the custom Martin I bought from Wildwood back in 2017 and oddly, I’ve never been able to make it sound anywhere near that. I was actually slightly worried it wouldn’t be a great sounding guitar since Greg can make a toy guitar with 30 year old strings sound great but fortunately, it was a mix of a great player and guitar merged together and was $3K+ well spent
