A little bit of this over here. A little bit of that over there. Some chicken pickin' in one spot, some blues in another, a bit of jazz tucked away somewhere else. Useful, sure. But scattered.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eSonic Savagery is the one where it all comes together.\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are getting a Greg Koch course, you probably want the greatest hits. The chicken pickin'. The crazy bends. The minor pentatonic getting worked over until it confesses. Pedal steel bends, pinch harmonics, shrieks, and the general wise-acery that comes standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eYou get all of that. But Greg also went in and built things he has never put in a lesson before. New compositions. New approaches. Angles he has simply never taught. Over eight hours of it, recorded with his own band behind him, tabbed out and broken down piece by piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eI cherry-picked all the stuff that I thought was cool and put it in one big course. - \u003cstrong\u003eGreg Koch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Inside?

Organ, drums, the works. Real music, not isolated exercises.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Tabbed Out\u003c\/strong\u003e: Every performance comes with tab, so you can read along, work through it slowly, and see exactly what is happening rather than guessing at it.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA Breakdown For Every One\u003c\/strong\u003e: Greg goes back through each performance and explains what he did and why.

Where the ideas came from, how they connect, what he was chasing.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGear Tips and Tricks\u003c\/strong\u003e: Amps, guitars and tones.

This is the groove side of the equation, treated as the main event rather than the thing you do between solos.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eConnecting The Dots: Where This Style Comes From\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eGreg did not arrive at his sound by picking a lane. He cherry-picked everything he thought was cool and threw it all in one big vat.

That question sent him down a rabbit hole that added an entire country dimension to his playing.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Jazz Door, Opened By Hendrix\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hendrix was the lifelong obsession, but tracks like \"Rainy Day, Dream Away\" and \"Still Raining, Still Dreaming\" were the gateway. Hendrix name-checked Kenny Burrell and Grant Green, so Greg followed the trail. George Benson did the rest.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlues, Backwards Into Slide\u003c\/strong\u003e: The Allman Brothers led him back to Elmore James and Robert Nighthawk, and the slide vocabulary that runs underneath so much of what he plays.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRespect For The Groove\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pete Townshend.

The rhythm players Greg studied as seriously as any lead guitarist.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTheory Only When It Helps\u003c\/strong\u003e: Greg went to school for music, which he says gave him just enough knowledge to get himself into trouble. He leans on it when it explains something. The rest of the time the honest answer is that it works, and he will tell you so.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Instructor: Meet Greg Koch\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eKoch.

A Milwaukee native who got hooked on Hendrix as a kid, studied jazz performance in college, and then spent a career refusing to stay in any one lane. Blues, country, rock and roll, jazz and slide, all mashed into a single unmistakable voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eHis father was a lawyer with seven kids, and his advice to his musician son was blunt: this path will not be easy, so you had better be as good as you can possibly be. Greg took that as a mandate to be as versatile as humanly possible. That versatility is exactly what this course is built on.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFirst place, 1989 Bluesbreaker Guitar Showdown, judged by Buddy Guy\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSigned to Steve Vai's Favored Nations label\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eNamed by Fender as one of the top 10 unsung guitarists\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eClinician for Fender, Fishman and Martin\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eTens of millions of views on his guitar demo videos\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor of some of the best selling guitar instructional books in the world\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSignature Reverend Gristlemaster guitar and Gristletone pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eWisconsin Area Music Industry Hall of Fame inductee\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eEverything Included\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Lands In Your Account\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eOver 8 hours of video content\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e25 full performances with band backing tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eTABS for every performance\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed breakdowns of all 25 performances\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eExtended interview segments\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eGear, tone and amp discussions\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFull lifetime access, desktop or mobile\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs This For You?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThis Is For You If...\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eYou have wanted the Koch bag of tricks in one place instead of scattered across a dozen lessons\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eYou already play, and you want vocabulary rather than beginner fundamentals\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eYou want to sound like more than one thing on demand\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eYou learn best from real performances, not isolated licks in a vacuum\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eYou want the tab in front of you and the reasoning behind it\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuestions\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\" blinkmacsystemfont francisco ui roboto neue sans-serif font-size:\u003eBefore You Dig In....\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003col\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from Greg's other courses?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe earlier courses each took one slice.
