picker Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Greg Koch is a pretty amazing prayer, and he has a wonderfully warped sense of humor, too... Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejeeber Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Oh man that was an exhausting ride! Chikin Pickin Stairway to Heaven even. He's a real live entertainer, and a funny feller. Just a pinch between the geek and chum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revolead Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Thanks for sharing that. The Hellecasters inspired me to buy a Tele; Jonny Lang made it seem hip still, even for a 22-year-old; and this guy makes me glad I have one. Shut up and play.

I examined one, but didn't play......I should have taken the time.... I've tried a couple. They're cool, but don't have one put in your Goldtop! Never a DUH! moment! Well, almost never. OK, OK! Sometimes never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darcy H Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Saw him last night, actually sat about 2 feet in front of Greg! Ears are still ringing! He had the whole band, bass virtuoso Reggie Hamilton along with Tom Brechtlein on drums, and they tore it up for about three hours. He gave a free guitar clinic at a local shop highlighting some new Fender products and the Hal Leonard line of instructional gear. It was pretty casual and interactive, lot's of discussion with the crowd, and tons of great playing! www.myspace.com/darcyhoover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gifthorse Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 This guy is crazy good. Love B benders. I only played around with 1 or 2 for a few minutes. Very cool http://flagshipmile.dmusic.com/ http://www.myspace.com/gifthorse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gifthorse Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 This guy is insanity in a nutshell. I love his playing. I have never heard him. http://flagshipmile.dmusic.com/ http://www.myspace.com/gifthorse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squ Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 What's a B Bender? Red Red Rockit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darcy H Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Some special Teles have a mechanism that attaches to the front strap knob that stretches the B string. Push down on the guitar while playing, the strap pulls up on the strap knob, and you bend your B string....for that steel-pedal sound/country style thing. Brad Paisley plays a G Bender. Greg wasn't playing his B Bender last night, but one of those new VG Strats off the floor (one of the things they stressed was that everything they were playing was off the store floor, guitars, drums, amps, effects...) but half way through he was "feeling" for a Tele and switched to a Baja. The things he made that VG Strat do where insane! But then again, the stuff he did to that Tele was insane as well! www.myspace.com/darcyhoover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickygclef Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Wow that's some routing job to install that! I've always been intrigued by these, but any thought of carving up my Tele are out of the question!! Amazing sounding stuff though. I'm pretty sure that Marty Stuart has the original Parsons/White Tele with B-bender from Clarence White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strategery Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Damn good vid....hell yeah!! Yeah, B-benders have been around for a few decades now. I don't think I'd EVER have one put in an existing Tele, rather simply go out and buy a WHole new one would be the best route. "Just play!"
