Gregor. I pulled this video up in a search. I didn't look at the text or anything, just hit play. I immediately said to myself, that this sounds like Greg Hildon. So, I rolled back up to the top of the screen, and yup. You are such a wonderful, wonderful, soulful player. I have no idea why you aren't famous for your playing in a bigger way, not just amongst those of us who've followed you for a number of years. Geeze....if I had the talent...the hands.
Love the tone of this one. Been thinking about one of those Gibson 61 reissue SG's. Nice choice of tracks Mercy, Mercy, Mercy. Thanks for challenging me with my own playing, I try to take something new to every practice and gig. Danke
That is truly spectacular... My favourite out of everything that you have done so far.
I seriously love the way you play guitar.
gorgeous playing! gorgeous guitar, gorgeous shoes...
Thanx bluederek! In fact that's the connection i was told Gibson uses. If you want to completely mix the 2 pickups or using one alone you have to wire the pickups an pots differently.
I had a LP type guitar but I don't remember how it was.
Thanx
Don't let him fool you. It's not the fingers that make the sound .
It's all in this pair of shoes! :) Just look at the older vids and you will hear the difference!
Ha, Played this song in my high school jazz band. Awesome Greg, as usual.
Gregor you're my favorite mall music guitarist...ever. Yes..that is condescending...but it's only because I envy you so much. Cheers.
possibly the best guitar i have ever seen you demo. cheers. :)
Very smooth and soulful. Nicely done mate.
That was beautiful, awesome guitar.
Mercy Mercy that is a nice guitar
lovely piice of wood!
Very nice guitar! Thumbs way up. Thanks for sharing one of your personal guitars.
peace,
Tim
Lovely blues Greg!
nice stuff !
Shoes??!! How do you notice shoes?! I couldn't take my eyes off of that SG!! Incredible playing, Greg! As always! :)
I noticed those shoes, too! I was a shoe salesman for years.
that was amazing! awesome shoes too
Great sound!!
He probably loves those shoes and owns 5 pairs of them
Hey Greg i can understand why u kept that one, what an amazing bluesy tone!
@bluesderek thank you for all this infos ;) cheers!
@richardsmamma
he has played a 59er for some years. You find information and videos on his web page.
"Mercy,Mercy,Mercy"
where do you get all these great great backing tracks?
THAT...is an SG. A REAL SG.
Wow, some sexy wrinkles on that cherry!!! My '63 Standard has had to be repainted so many times, but on seeing your beauty, I see that she's still the right shade. And the tone... I think it's mostly just the wood that gives these older SGs those some mean biting mids in their eggnog-smooth voice. Absolutely my favorite sound! You've nailed it with those humbuckers. I keep a pair of Burstbuckers (2 & 3) to get a fair imitation of the T-tops in my '63. Beautiful sounds you're making there!
nice shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!
This entire video is amazing! Just out of curiosity: What did you replace the stock tuners with?
I mean, if you place the pick up toggle in the middle position and you close at 0 one of the 2 volumes, does the guitar mute?
Gibson stock wiring is that way. Then if you want to use and mix the 2 pickups you'd have to wire the volumes "independently".
Tasty!!!!
@jimamundo He trades guitars, btw
@bluesderek another question, are you sure you can mix the 2 pickups volume on the middle p-up position? I was told it is not possible. If you close one of the 2 volumes, you only lower the volume of them all together. Not only the one you are turning down.
Thanx
What are the chords for the backing track?
I really like the progression.
Hi, great jam! Are you volumes wired to be independent or do they act as a master volume in the middle position of the switch?
Which Gibson Sg or LP has independent volume wiring if you know it?
Thanx!
@leftyrock85 I agree fully. Compared to those old early 1960s SGs, today's SGs look plain. :-/
@jimamundo It's part of the secret of his sound. It's all in the shoes and the teddybear. :-)
you should smile more often it suits u :p and awesome playing as usual
I love it when top comments are replies to one another xD GREAT PLAYING :D
TABs available somewhere?

@jimamundo He trades and sells guitars.
The bowling alley called,,, they want their shoes back
I have a 65 with the same finish and hardware - almost identical - may I ask why you converted it? Were you not happy with the P90's? How do you feel it has improved it?
I'm asking because I'm considering doing the same conversion. Hope you are able to respond and thanks for the post.
What pickup's use to? send me a mail please thank's
looks very old :B
@jimamundo DUDE have a look a t the guitars not at the stuff he is wearing ;D
Correct me if I'm wrong but in 1963 weren't SG's still called the les Paul?
+Geoff Jefferson If I remember correctly, SGs are actually called SG since 1963 ;)
+Adrien Chevallier fair enough
For reference: SG shaped Specials have always been SGs. Jrs, Standards and Customs were Les Pauls until late 1963. Not sure why Les’ name was dropped from the Special so much earlier than the others.
I'd do shamefull things for that guitar...........Shameful degrading things : (
Your style is blues, but in the case of the sg you Need to play rock to a better sound ;)
I agree. It just fits like a glove when your playing power chords and rock n' roll. It has that growl. Just grab the Fender if you wanna do soul or R&B.
Did you feel really stupid after you said this? I would have...
watch the language, pal
Because his playingh skills deserve to EAT THIS WHOLE VIDEO. Inculding dirty ugly kicks....
esa guitarra está hecha para rpckear a lo eric clapton en cream
