INTERVIEW
BY DIRK WACKER
Of all the brilliant guitarists I have met over the
years, Greg Koch really stands out. Besides being
one of the best multi-style guitarists alive, he’s
one of the funniest, humblest and most down-to-earth guys I know. When he’s on stage, you
never know what’s coming next. He’s released
nine CDs, in addition to touring and playing live;
he’s a teacher and author of numerous guitar
instruction books and DVDs; he’s a radio moderator; and last but not least, he’s the premier
Fender demo guy, demonstrating gear and doing
clinics at music shops, NAMM, Musikmesse and
countless other events—and he does all this with
an oddball sense of humor. If you want to get
a first impression of Greg’s humor, you should
read the summary of his career on his MySpace
page (you’ll find the link at the end of this story).
Despite his many activities, Greg found time to
sit down and talk to me after one of his shows.
