Greg Koch has been called a "twisted guitar genius" and "eclectic virtuoso" by guitar pundits. The towering Koch has moved beyond local hero status in the upper Midwest by becoming an internationally renowned guitarist, session ace, top-selling guitar instructional book and DVD star, magazine columnist, radio personality, comedian and in-demand world class guitar clinician for Fender Musical Instruments and Hal Leonard Publishing Co. His work with music publishing giant Hal Leonard has resulted in an extraordinarily successful catalog of guitar instructional materials. His guitar fascination began early. After getting his first guitar at age 12, Koch learned by copying records. He studied jazz guitar at the University of Wisconsin, and his Milwaukee-based band became one of the region's most popular and acclaimed bands.
Koch has 5 internationally released and acclaimed CDs; 2 with Steve Vai's Favored Nations label, 2 with Europe's Mascot-Provogue Records, 1 currently out on Peppercake/ZYX Records along with the recently released CD Nation Sack.
