• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Greg Koch visited my home tonight and played the Bursts and other vintage Geetars

I was thinking halo.

It's the Gibson halo of divine sainthood that is only bestowed upon players who are humorous and masterful.

Idea: Maybe Greg K. could post LPF exclusive lessons like JD and Joe B.!! Greg is such a great player.

That is the plan we are working on with Greg. He visits Wildwood once every month to shoot videos, so I've asked (and Greg has agreed) to do some videos of various vintage geetars from my stash or Steve Mesple's (Wildwood owner) stash, and post them on the LPF. :jim

fwiw, Greg has many instructional vids/presentations on YT from gear conventions, etc where he gives a good rudimentary lesson in chicken picking w & w/o a pick, etc. I've recently rewatched some of those vids and am focusing my practicing on them, along with some Danny Gatton YT instructional vids.

If my teachers and professors in HS & college had been as entertaining as Greg, I think I'd been a 4.0 student all those years...

Edit: forgot to say... congrats on the good hang, and good news on any future LPF participation by Greg! :dude:

I swear I learn something from every single vid I see of Greg. His techique so so flawless & his tone so crisp it is easy to hear what he is doing. Not so easy to play, however.

Steve, last time I checked I was 5'10". I could be shrinking with old age or job pressures. :)

Cogs, the coolest part also about last night is that not only was his playing flawless, he adapted to each guitar I handed him instantly, and immediately started playing songs that fit their genre. For example, I handed him a 1961 Fender Jazzmaster and surf tunes started flowing instantaneously. I handed him a 1952 Tele and country licks emanated. When I handed him one of the Bursts it was flawless Jimmy Page riffs in Zep tunes within seconds. I handed him a 1957 Les Paul Custom with their trademark low frets and it didn't affect his playing in the least. An amazing and gifted musician! :salude

I remember Greg referencing himself in a video I watched yesterday as a 'mansquatch'...
