I love how this guy laughs so heartily at Greg.
Its pretty hard not to..
lol that chet atkins stairway to heaven
What an awesome guitar! and the chemistry between these two is just the best! Thank you Wildwood guitars :)
Joe has made me a Gretsch fan for life. I love his knowledge and passion for the original models.
I keep replaying the first minute over and over!
redngolden I know right it seems satisfying to listen to! I need a complete version of Mr Sandman!
This is my favorite Wildwood video of all time. So much love.
The Gretsch Country Gentleman is the most magnificent guitar ever! And I own one! Just a year and a half ago I acquired a vintage edition 1962 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman, the guitar I have wanted since I was 16 (I am now 67 years old, so I have delayed gratification lo, these many years). And I just had to have a Vox AC30/C2 tube type amplifier to go with it, 'cause that's the amp George Harrison used in the early days of The Beatles. Now that my life is complete, I need to have another Gretsch for my collection! This video gives me some great ideas!
As if the Stairway to H rendition wasn't enough, when Greg inserts that seventh hour of the seventh day stuff I literally burst into tears... best video ever
Every Guitar Center employee would've kicked Greg out of the store.
They should have their own show!!!!
Amen . . and it would be one I wouldn't mind paying for either!
They do. You're watching it.
Music Islife this is Wildwood’s show 😉 I need to see a Joe and Greg Show! 🤣 I’m sure it would fix all the world’s problems right now!
I agree.....how can we be stre$$ed or worried with these two? I've spent hours watching and learning from Greg!
I would watch that show religiously
his skills got his buddy cracking up!
i bought a used 6120 in glorious orange.
my first Gretsch at age 71 playn since 64
My teacher in 64 was a Gretsch dealer and player.
Wanted one ever since! its 2024 and I scored.
Love its twangnificience!
Imagine Greg wkth an SG!
Joe is truly one of the classiest gentlemen in the music industry.
Pseudo-nuclear banjo of doom, man... You cannot make this stuff up! Love it!
Agreed! If Greg wasn't such a great player I'd bet he could make it as a comedian lol.
he did make it up!
I’m glad I’m not the only person who launches into La Bamba when asked to play Twist & Shout.
I’ve never called it “Shake It Up, Baby” though.
Shake it up baby?? Twist And Shout!!
Bro! You are the BEST. Nothing like a GOOOOOOD sense of humor and your AMAZING skills at guitars to make EVERY video fun to watch. I just bought a Electromatic and I am YES a happy camper at this moment. Keep up the good vibe. You are a TOP notch player!
Greg, you are a kick!!!
And the way you make Joe laugh out loud just tops it all!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Greg, you are some picker and a blast to watch. Thanks, sir.
My Italian side really resonates with Joe's love of laughing.
Now that was epic!!!!!!
My favorite semi-hollow guitar
Just ordered my Country Gentleman last week and awaiting its arrival!
Can't wait to have fun strumming in Greg's words the "Nuclear Banjo Of Doom!"
Greg Koch is the Victor Borge of guitars.
The guy on the guitar is so amazingly funny :D
Stairway not denied.
OMG! That is milky smooth! Going to make a shake for the masses with that.
I buying it yesterday so I hope it's arriving soon
I just bought 1 today. It will arrive in a couple days. Any words?
Hahahahaaaaa Lololooooool i don't know lololooooolit's still the funniest thing i've ever seen in my live ...in the classic years of gretsch 😅🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🤩🥳...i really hope mister carducci is up end well 😅 THX Greg ❤😂spoidl guy's 😅🌊🌊🌊😅
48 seconds in is Rollercoaster. Greg knows every lick known to man and beast! I love watching Joe laugh till he cries!
My cheeks are literally in pain from Greg Koch making me laugh . This Guy can not only Play, but He is One Funny Man. The first 2-3 minutes of this clip is hilarious
Check out his interview with That Pedal Show. Unbelievably funny.
Keep coming back to this. Love the playing and the camaraderie!
If nobody gives Greg his own radio show it will be a crime against humanity.
Very informative and I've wanted one ever since I saw George Harrison play it on Ed Sullivan. Greg is extremely entertaining, not to mention being a fantastic guitar virtuoso. I think I've now watched this video 7 times. I've been HYP-MO-TIZED!
that is beautiful sounding guitar!
Greg is just 1 crazy funny beast guitar player makes me laugh n tear up at the same time lol
Mister Carducci strikes again. It's Gretsch to see ya' Buddy. RB. 🖤
what an amazing guitar love Gretsches.
Pseudo nuclear banjo of doom LMFAOOOOO
hahahahha rotfl
I don't know what it means but I like it.
Sounds like the new name of my band lol
One of my favorite guitars
I don't need a COVID shot. If laughter is the best medicine, then Joe's laugh will keep you safe from anything and everything!
guy on the right rules
Amazing that Greg is the ONLY person that this Country Gent DOESN'T look big on😉😎👍🙁
LOL! Mr. Koch in top form on this one!
That was so freakin' entertaining! And I love Country Classics. Now I see I need a model with the mutes.
Just Lovely :) Mw
I really want a vintage Brooklyn, NY made '62 Country Gentleman.
I want to thank your brilliant presenters and Joe Carducci for lighting a new fire in me. After serious research for a new guitar sound, i have now bough myself a G5420T in Fairlane blue, complete with Gretsch hardcase. Will run it on stage through a Fender Deluxe Reissue Tweed. It arrives next week. I AM STOKED. Can you dig it.?
Nice and congrats! I don't own one yet, too many Gibson's, Fenders and a PRS, but am really looking at a Gretsch as of late. So has it arrived yet? And if so how do you like it?
Still waiting for it due to some shipping laws that makes things go slow.Will get back to you. I have tested one in a sound rom for 2 hours thoroughly and it was just fantastic. I am also in a group on Facebook called Gretsch Guitar Lovers. Recommended!
Joe has the best laugh
good Whiskey and a sticky sticky J. reminds me of the way these two are feeling.
Greg has a drummers personality
Greg Koch should do stand up.
Yeah he definitely has the talent.
He does. He just so happens to do it with a guitar in his hands.
I've been playing that guitar for years and never found a use for the mute, but you make it cool.
What ?
Seat down guitarist comedian. How come I never new?!
Hilarious 😂 man
Watching this from NZ this is so funny. Want that guitar
I met Mr Carducci at a sxsw NAAM in 2009. He was fun to talk to and I asked him "why not a Sylvain Sylvain Gretsch?!?!" To his credit, he acknowledged Syl's love and use of Gretsch and said personally being a fan of the NY Dolls he'd love to see a Sylvain Sylvain Gretsch in the line.
you are the best
"Breakfast is a powerful tool for good." So true. Love it; I will be dual muting all weekend.
Shpoidal, indeed. Killer guitar.
Thank for this entertaining demo, very impressed with this 6120!
What did you have for breakfast, I want some 😆
That is truly hilarious...I have watched it a few times as it's just natural off-the-cuff humour
I love Gretsch necks. The mute is cool. I had a big orange Gretsch with a mute and a padded back in the 1960's. I bet it weighed a ton! Now a "double mute" might be another thing. It might give you Bo Diddley's "guttural" basic tone. Then all you would need is a tremolo and a Magnatone vibrato.
Pseudo-nuclear banjo of doom
Greg is worth tuning in for, you never know whats going to come out of his mouth
You should definitely review the new G5622t, I'm really curious about it. And great video as always!!!
The thing about the new Country Gent is; for not much more $ you can get a clean vintage one. It is probably the most undervalued guitar in the vintage market. And with it's rich history and association with such talents as Chet, George and others, I can't understand why this is so.
I have yet to see one that has survived well. Most vintage Gretsches I have seen for sale had neck set issues, broken bindings and other small things making the guitar less nice to play. The nice ones are surely out there but at what cost? But I agree, even a crappy 60's strat will sell for alot of money.
@@keesketsers5866 The plastic they used in the binding were unstable due to the use of formaldehyde in the formula, and it shrank and became brittle over time. By the early 1970s they had went to another plastic, and you don't see binding issues on those like you do on the 1960s Gretschses. Any guitar is going to need a neckset after thirty to forty years, so that is to be expected of all glued joint neck to bodied guitars. In years past I had owned many old Gretsches, and surprisingly the ones that held up the best over the years were the 1950s models. I had a 1956, 1959 and a 1967 6120 at one time, and they were all in perfect shape. Wish I had the 1959 back, it had a slim body like a 335 and was a real joy to play. Sold them all 25 years ago when I got divorced. My last Country Gent was a 1964, it was perfect too.
Greg, stop cracking the man up so he can talk business😆
CHET ATKINS??? 🤔--> unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looking to buy a higher grade Gretsch to replace my Electromatic. So looking to see the difference between this and the version with true F holes. This is an enjoyable video and has interesting featurea explained. Now to look at the f hole version and see it's features. Thank you for an informative video.
Lol lol awesome 👍🏻👍🏻
Good gravy. Time to sell all my guitars and find a hobby. Kidding. Kind of.
That is a great instrument. I'm waiting for the new player's edition guitars with string-thru Bigsby, locking tuners and the like. I love my 6120, but it is a hassle to change strings.
@Samí Warrior I'm sure it will be great. Of course, Player's Editions are now available. I added a couple mods to my guitar: the Vibramate Spoiler at the bridge and the Guitar Nutbuster near the nut, which helps it stay in tune when using the Bigsby. Both items don't really modify the guitar permanently as they can be removed anytime.
@Samí Warrior Haha. It probably won't Djent :-)
6:11 Around Midnight. This guy is really a jazzer in disguise.
I am going to find a way to work "psuedo nuclear banjo of doom" into a conversation today.
The mind of Greg Koch. Neurological science can not yet speculate how the neurons in his unique brain interface with his physical oral cavity.
Ok here is a idea for the both of you
Get on radio and call the show
THE GUITAR WORKSHOP
answer all calls that have to do with amps and guitars
Great idea huh?
Thanks😜
guys, you should start to blend a little of the room mic in the demos, it sounds really good when it opens ;)
0:42 “Love Rollercoaster “
“Who have I got to punch in the throat to get one of these?” Hahahaha legit
Can anyone tell us what amp they used,magic combination of player,guitar and amp!
The problem the double mute solved was not being able to palm mute the bass strings for thumb picking while fingernail picking both directions both up and down (instead of just up like Chet). So you could selectively mute just the bass while picking in both the close-the-claw as well as the open-the-claw directions. This was not a Chet devise nor anything he came up with.
I can see that they still have not shipped my Dumble Overdrive Special head. Geez !! 😉
He snuck the Care Bear chord in at the end.
I have an original 62 but it doesn't sound like this. perhaps my pickups need replacements after 50 years. Believe it or not all the electronics still work and all the switches and knobs still work right but it has a muted sound. its very easy to open up and repair. The leather cover unbuttons and there is a back plate you can take off. Inside the guitar its a hollow body.
My Uncle has an original. I think it was on of the first Gretsch's imported into Australia. I'm not sure what it's worth, but I'm guessing a tonne.
I tuned in just to get an idea of what switches have what effect on the tones. I'll have to keep looking.
They explain that in the video
In fairness to the guys that were unfamiliar with the tone circuit, the down position sounds to me more like a conventional humbucker. I'm sure with some overdrive, it would sound closer to the Gibson-ish rhythm sounds of yesteryear.
In the specs posted here it says it has a 24.6" scale but on the gretsch website it says 25.5"
I think if I buy a Gretsch online it will be thru Wildwood!!!
I love the "rollercoaster bit! at :41 in I think a rumor was that a murder happened during the original cut? what the hell just happened?
heres sumpthn sad and unfixable fo me me middle finger is 3.25 inches long gregs I bet are 5+
Hi Joe and Greg, I have a 2011 Japan Gretsch 6122-1962 . My question is, why is the top and back totally different from vintage Gretsch guitars. Those old tops and backs have flame and just generally nicer top and backs on those 1960's Gretsches. I wish the tops now were as nice. Is this guitar you are show casing, made in Japan as well? Thanks Michael Newell from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada
Hi Joe & Greg, just wanted to ask a question regarding the tops and backs on vintage George Harrison's Gretsch. Why is it that all of the vintage Gretsch G6122-1962 seem to have better looking wood that they are made of. That is the only disappointing cosmetic feature about the new Gretsches, they don't have the aesthetic appeal in the wood as the old ones did. But the build quality, they say is way better than the old Gretsches. Any thoughts on why the backs and tops on these guitars aren't as nice? I personally own one of these Japanese made Gretsches. Beautiful guitar. Just wish the wood looked like it did in the 60's. Thanks Michael Newell from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada
Hey Joe,you better lay off on the spaghetti and bring back the Gretsch 7690 Super Gretsch with many color selections and high figure curly maple.Let me know,Joe!!!!
the torpon proteedos
So is this the one or will it be the Chet 59? On the video the chet sounds better but may be due to variables...id love to hear what Greg's choice would be!!
La Bamba of course
I just go for the phasers and the Torp Torta Porp meself.
Are these Gretsch guitars built in the U.S. or elsewhere?
Actually the custom shops are made in the USA others I believe are made in China, Korea and Japan. The Japanese built are really great guitars. They used to be all built in Brooklyn in the old days but some years back Gretsch entered a deal with Fender hence the far east builds. Although the Gretsch family still owns the company as far as I know.
you guys must of smoked a big doobie with those ear to ear smiles...
Yo Joe, Whad'Ya Know ! ...
Who let Shawn Crahan into the studio?
I'd like the "tiny" guitar that Greg was playing? No, no... not that one... the "tiny" one. 😄😂😆
