Greg Koch is one of the most interesting guitar players I've ever met. The first time I met him was in a small bar and he was playing what I want to hear. As a transplant from upstate NY, at the time I had no idea where anything was in Wisconsin and was fortunate enough to have stumbled upon Greg's performance. The last time I met Greg I was able to shake his hand and thank him. He responded with "thank me, for what"? I replied with, "for what you do". He is a humble giant. Once again I ran into Greg, he was crossing the street with a cup of coffee in his hand and a smile that gave me the impression that he was content with life. Every time I've seen Greg was by chance, let's hope 2020 is a good year for chance.
If you have a Reverend Guitar dealer near you, ask them to get in touch with Ken Haas and see if they would do a clinic for your music shop. It is astounding to see him in person playing. And he is super nice guy to chat with. Very humble and down to Earth.
Dug it all as per yooge...But slidery workage at end was of course Koch-alishish... plus...I've been a Fishman Fluence user for going on 2 years;they are in fact all that and a pallet of chips.
Really enjoyed this! Greg is wonderful as a player and just generally as the personality that we all know and love. I will say this though, the Jason Smith Strat sounded "better" more open, more vintage.... The Fishman equipped Strat sounded great, but not quite as tasty. Although I do realise in a live situation with lights, volume, monitors and an audience who can't tell the difference? The Fishman are the more practical option. Great video :-)
@@PeachGuitars Yeah I did think that. The price difference between the Mexican Strat+Fishman and the Masterbuilt must still be £4000 is it? Dare you to put them in and film a before and after....... ;-)
So I buy a set of fishman pickups stick them In a cheap Mexican strat and I've got something akin to a CS masterbuilt strat........ erm yeah so all those guys that said the masterbuilt stuff is massively over priced will be feeling quite smug right about now 😁😁
i have been watching greg on wildwood vids for 10 years I HAD NO IDEA HE PLAYED COUNTRY...seriously from 9 minutes in the vid here was jerry reed chet mason gatton level if not higher!!!
I'm surprised mfgs aren't using this tech. Seems like Fender could scrap their noiseless efforts and make a fortune with these things. Note to Jack, don't pick up Greg's habits. He's a great player, but he often plays almost cartoonishly. One zaney player is enough. Please keep doing Jack.

Can't believe I missed this. Damit
Greg is a legend. Well done peach guitar love this guy
Gutted I missed him I've been watching for 10+ years.
He's superb.
Greg Koch plays incredibly amazing slide! Whaaat??? Never seen that before in any of his many videos!
Is there any way to photo shop Jack,so he looks larger? This is bordering on Gulliver's Travels With Guitar.
He is a crazy genius - would love to see him live. Thanks for this video!

Gary Moseley I wonder how the Fluence would sound in the fender masterbuilt though...
