One of early my inspirations for playing guitar was Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits. To this day, I still listen to Sultans of Swing at least once a week. I just love the tone he gets with his fingers! Plus, that guy is one of the coolest cats on the planets. Here’s a video from a few years back. When I saw it yesterday, I must’ve watched it 5 times. What technique and feel!

If you’ve never heard of him, Greg Koch is one of the finest guitarists around. A Fender clinician, he spends much of his time extolling the virtues of Fender guitars. This dude can play! Amazingly enough, there doesn’t appear to be an arrogant bone in his body. Greg is really the consummate showman as you’ll see in the video below.
As I said, that dude can play! But as you saw in the video, he shows his skill in a completely non-arrogant way – it’s pure entertainment. That’s what makes Greg Koch a Top Dawg!
