when a guy can tell you a joke in a guitar solo, he's an achievement in himself. I'm a big fan of Josh Smith as well. I admire everything about this guy, he's my reference for tone setup.

Thats exactly how Greg would have described it. The gristle king.

The level of ability here is absolutely stunning. Much of it reminds me of Danny.

Some awesome, unpredictable improv kicking in around 4:22. Everyone is having a good time, Josh is enjoying the gristlemaster's random cover lick diversions, ends up just letting him just run around the yard for a minute, then it settles into some more traditional, awesome call and response -- but still with some tasty outside elements tossed in. Fittingly, it winds down in true sasquatchian random fashion with some more unexpected cover licks tossed into the mix. Really entertaining and unpredictably delicious playing all around. For any working pro, I'm sure Greg is a delight to play with, but also a little bit scary - but in a totally good way! Top-notch musicianship all over that stage, btw.

This is such an awesome performance on so many levels - virtuoso level playing, rhythm right in the sweet pocket, and so much fun. Besides its like a tele master class.

Love Josh, Toby, Dylan but Greg is from another planet... absolutely incredible!! 😎🎸

On top of that, to be able to deliver the gift with the level of joy, humor and grace...it's $%^&*. mind boggling! Thank you for posting this!

What a master guitar player Greg is. A lot of tricks and surprise notes. Master entertainer too..

Two of the baddest guitar players on the planet!

Greg Koch is a freaking guitar god!! Love his country chicken picking blues/rock fusion style. So precise, really makes the guitar sing. John 5 is another God! He elevates the country shred genre to dizzying heights.

I been playing 40 years looks like I need to step it up...I knew they were good...but this Nashville chicken picking needs to be in my coop
