Now, hold on. That's strictly a bassist joke.

@@EmeraldWoodArchives I thought that was drummers but happy to include

@@paulmckeown5672 What do you call a guy that hangs around a bunch of musicians? A drummer.

Truth.

I like the nod to Frank Zappa's Joe's Garage...

I also love the organ! Toby and Greg's son on drums are the perfect tasteful foils and support,

That's the truth, only I genuinely believe he could be the greatest player of all time. He manages to nail all the greats, and has his own style and sound. He can play a 5 minute jam, and include more music than in some people's discographies. A true legend, I just hope the world wakes up and makes him ruler

Me Too. I got my daughter so hooked on since I’ve been loving you in general and this one in particular

@fastguitar AGREED!!

check out jimmy herrings versionkzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrygatiEm9vFdKM.html

@fastguitar Excellent point! Unfortunately Jimmy was intoxicated quite often. I'm a huge Jimmy Page fan however I have heard many of his live recordings that were not always so inspiring. The first LZ concert I went to ended 4 songs into the concert. They literally had to carry Jimmy off the stage. That sucked royally! Again, I think JP is one of the all time greatest guitar players. I believe Greg would agree which is why he plays this song with so much passion. Clearly, JP is inspired by JP.

I meant to say clearly GK is inspired by JP LOL!

@@1968custom came here to say the same!

Along with schofield

I love them all but i also love tab benoit because he writes his own songs great ones at that and has his own unique style that doesn't sound like anyone else and hes just an amazing individual doing amazing things..

This is just messing around for Greg...

@@MrJackal43 completely disagree. He is a joker and you can tell when he is joking but this isn’t that

Same thing I thought. True to form... and Greg usually takes it down many different roads of Gristle.

Main squeeze also did a great take on this song

Better than Page live...... but Page was a genius in the studio

@@AlienSexGod - Yes, he was. The whole band was. John Paul Jones may have been the only constant, between the studio and the stage. I'm sure none of the audience cared, though.... I sure wouldn't have.

Jimmy herring has a great version

Took me awhile to warm up to the Tele, but when I did my Strats became wall decorations.

Yeah but finding one is so hard. I keep trying to find one and just cant get there. I suppose its because oh my les paul. She wont let me touch another.

technically it's not a tele, it's a Reverend, but your point is still valid :-)

Teles are workhorses, but after 25+ years of playing them exclusively, I switched to a PRS. The key is finding the guitar that resonates with you and your touch on the instrument. Once you’ve done that it will elevate your ability to manifest thoughts and ideas into music. In short, it’s not one guitar, you’ve got to find YOUR guitar. My PRS is Korean and I could care less.

I avoided Tele’s for many, many years. Admittedly, I was too set in my Strat and Les Paul ways to ever give Tele’s a shot. Very snobbish on my part. I thought they looked “weird,” didn’t look rock n’ roll enough for my tastes. Finally-after watching dozens of John 5 KZfaq videos-came to realize the guitar’s versatility. Finally bought one 4 months ago and have not regretted it once! I still play my Strat and LP’s, but there is a special, unapproachable quality and feel to a Tele.

Thanks for making my day.

Totally agree...the man keeps growing and growing. This is the best live stuff i've seen from him!

Yeah, sometime Greg can be like Frank Zappa when I'm in the mood for rocking blues. Here he's not. Speaking of rocking blues, here's Jeff Healey playing live with Stevie Ray. You won't be disappointed. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNN7mspy3LqRiYU.html

Page was unreal!!! Phenomenal musician.

Clearly not as good as Greg, haha.

@@ronnienose8608 Um let's not go there.

@@ronnienose8608 The Koch'meister never ceases to amaze, but he also didn't write the song.

Greg is bas ass but too me he gets a lot of his tone and style from roy Buchanan with the bends and chicken picking and volume rocking swells thats totally a roy Buchanan thing but greg also has his own style and flare but id advise everyone in this comment section too check out roy Buchanan as well hes an underrated guitar player..

Rob Hosea but those knobs must have more stuff?

Richard Foulkes nope. It’s called running your amp hot then controlling it with those knobs. Pretty cool huh.

This guitar has 2 large canisters of NOS under the pickguard.

@@stratdoc The "stuff" is in your hands....the knobs just help season the gumbo.

@@robhosea6734 Correct. And this guy is obsessed with screwing with the knobs, to a nerve-wracking degree, instead of learning to control his sound with his fingers.

I have a question for you. In the video, is Greg getting that controlled feedback from just a loud amp or do you think he's using something like a Digitech Freqout pedal?

I’m going 99% likely amp

Nick Fox - his Wildwood Guitars demos seem to be mainly amp and cable with a little bit of drive or crunch switches in and out (often it's all in the amp like the Koch amplification The Greg amplifier made in Germany - yeah it's his own model.) This guitar has some trickery onboard with the Fishman Gristle Tone switchable circuit that changes the character of the pickups from a sweeter to a ruder sound. Please see the little added push button on the control plate, you hardly notice it. Basically let's you gig two types of essential Tele guitars with half the weight.

@@j_freed Thanks. I just went and read up on that Fishman system. Very interesting,.

He ruined this great song. Too many flat notes 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Try 45 years, then you'll get really depressed.
