I have emailed Gregg privately on occasion and told him my opinion of his guitar playing, however, I am not sure I have ever expressed it here on the forum. I think he is an absolutely incredible guitar player. I have never heard him play anything I didn't like. I have some guitar heroes who can play extremely well in the jazz idiom, others who can play country licks, etc., but for all around playing, I would think Gregg would be almost impossible to beat. His playing on all the Swing Shift albums is out of this world. I have some friends who have a local gospel group that had the opportunity to cut an album with Larry Crook a few years ago. The guitar player chosen for the session - Mr. Galbraith. He played the entire spectrum of gospel music tastefully. I have heard his playing on 'pure' country songs and he is right on the money. He plays the music and genre of each song rather than imposing his particular 'style' on the song and making it fit. In addition, he is incredibly nice and returns your emails with 'real' answers and not just some inane 'Me big HERO, you little fan' tripe.
