"This is a great DVD. The guitar style spectrum is covered here with country, blues, and rock, with tips and tricks to enhance your own style. Greg uses Fender Strats and Telecasters (my favorite guitars) throughout the video and explains and demonstrates his unique style in a way that you can pick up on with a little practice and not be totally discouraged. This DVD is filled with humor, great teaching and superb pointers for expanding your technique. If you are a fan of Greg Koch or would want to make your playing really stand out, you need this video."

Very entertaining instructor

"I'm a big fan of Greg Koch. He's very amusing (if a little over the top) and a terrific guitar player. I got this DVD to learn more about chicken pickin' and hybrid picking. He's goes through some very cool riffs at normal speed and slower, and also plays the longer song with his band. My only complaint is that there is no notation or tab included. Sometimes it takes (at least me) a really long time to figure out the notes he's playing because you have to watch the fingers, remember what he did, and then try it yourself. Definitely for intermediate players."

Very cool instructer

"I really liked this dvd. I have followed Greg's column in GuitarOne for some time that basically motivated me to purchase this dvd. Greg plays some tunes from his cd and then breaks it all down and shows you how to do his licks. He covers most styles of playing you will learn some cool tricks from his lessons."

Advanced level instruction

"This entertaining DVD by Greg Koch shows a man with great chops instructing how to play some of his (mostly) intricate, varied in style, original songs. he plays each song with his band and then shows how he gets some of his licks and sounds. You'd want to be a damn good player to watch this and then be able to do what he does. For me, a pretty average amateur player, there's not much that is going to help improve my playing, but there are some techniques worth a try. But the man is funny and he sure can play.
