Sheer fluidity, taste and expressiveness. One of the only 80s guitar pioneers I've never had the privilege of seeing live.

[@therealawakener7]

Most technically gifted, pyrotechnical, a billion notes a second players usually end up doing a lot and saying not very much musically but.... Greg is one of those few exceptions to the rule. Greg really does have something to say and he says it very, very, well indeed. Keep rockin'.

[@Silent_Keith]

I started listening to Greg back in high school.....crazy to think that has been damn near 30 years of kick ass guitar...

[@number1houserocker]

Greg Howe is from another universe...that was totally PHENOMENAL!!!

[@STaSHZILLA420]

Today, I learned about Greg Howe.

[@wreichard]

I used to jam with this guy back in the late 80's. He is definitely a perfectionist. I enjoyed playing with him.

[@davidzimmerman7770]

I knew him when he was with his brother knocking out Van Halen etc... He was always such a modest great dude. He was still playing his Sears body Frankenstein guitar.

[@Pilgrimforchrist1215]

This takes me to wide open, bright green fields where the clouds are all smiling and rainbows are dancing and ducks are jumping rope... all while I lay in the grass filling my ears with this sweet sweet jam🎸

[@YummyBananaFish]

Greg is an unfortunate case, in a sense. He pioneered a sound 20+ years ago which most (guitar enthusiast) listeners only seem ready for in recent years. Even today, he doesn't seem to be riding the same wave of success as Guthrie, for example. Not at all claiming Guthrie doesn't deserve that respect, but check out Greg's albums from the 90s; such a lot like Guthrie's sound!

[@TubeSpoker]

my father was friend of piazzolla, he died alone almost without money ... That happened to a lot of musicians ... i know EXACTLY what you´re saying ... i also look a lot for that Shawn Lane where most shitty guitarrist will NEVER go: music with no frontiers. Vai is Vai, but not a flexible musician. As is Malmsteen, and even old school, they stop at jazz and cant go beyond. Great composers go to a level beyond their instrument, it´s about their music, and not about ´a good guiatarrist and composer´. Greg is good, but he´s limited to his style.

[@TheOsirix12]

YummyBananaFish you do know Guthrie is influenced by Greg Howe?

[@xelad1]

YummyBananaFish I don't exactly understand your claim of Greg Howe not matching Guthrie's current success? This is the same Greg Howe that did touring duties with Michael Jackson, Enrique Iglesias, N Sync, and Justin Timberlake right? The same guy that recorded Extraction with Dennis Chambers and Victor Wooten? I would call that monumentally successful by any stretch of the "solo guitar player" imagination. I would almost say both careers are rather similar considering Guthrie's own session work, and being in a fusion trio of other highly capable artists. I saw The Aristocrats recently in SF in a small venue full of musicians and music nerds like myself, they definitely aren't selling out stadiums.

[@YummyBananaFish]

Alex D Well put, although surely Guthrie has gained a mythological status somewhere around 'best guitarist in the world' which Greg has never been graced with. It seems to me that, about 10 years ago, technical guitar saw a resurgence in popularity among my generation of guitar players, with guys like Guthrie and Paul Gilbert (or rather, PG version 2, now that he insists on playing old man licks) at the forefront. Internet videos seem to be essential in this having happened. Greg was making records during a dead era for technical guitar music (the 90s) and he hasn't been pulled up to quite the same level of notoriety as Guthrie/PG, in these recent years. He's not the only one, either. Just seems unfortunate... although I'm sure there must be plenty more to it than bad timing.

[@xelad1]

YummyBananaFish Well a big part of PG's notoriety is the fact that he was really at the forefront of "modern shred" and in many ways was the "American Yngwie". Certainly one of the most influential figures for all shredders. Combine that with him being a mega star in Japan as part of Mr. Big (and having a hit American single) and it's understandable why he's such a force among modern shredders. Guthrie is a special case, whether or not he's deserving of the "best guitarist" moniker (or whether anyone ever is, I'm sure he would certainly argue against such a title) is debatable. But he is a special sort of multi talented chameleon guitar playing freak that only seems to come around once in a blue moon. Even among his peers Guthrie's talent and versatility stands out. Another thing to consider is that while Greg was emerging he was surrounded by a huge pool of talented instrumentalists over at Shrapnel (and in the 80s). During his debut his contemporaries were guys like Kotzen, Friedman, and Becker. So it's possible that because of his era (which produced a good amount of shredding legends) that he got lost in the mix. Guthrie bloomed a little later and doesn't have many contemporaries that I care to listen to, or who have achieved even half of his success.

@XLuckieX I totally agree, he's a great composer, not only a amazing technical player, he knows how to dose his skills

[@jazzerrocker]

Sounds like Guthrie Govan learned a lot from Greg Howe.

[@crishealingvtuber8626]

And both from Allan Holdsworth too

[@VortexGuitarBr]

I think Greg is a much more cool guy

[@oldgit4260]

Typical, he rips off an artist and gets all the credit. Sounds like the music business for ya...

[@Elemy69]

@@oldgit4260 how did guthrie ripped off an artist? Greg Howe didn't invent fusion guitar. He was part of a fusion wave that started in the 80's. Scott Henderson and Chick Corea could be cited as the reel pionneers of fusion music, not GH. At that time you had guitar virtuosos like Shawn Lane and Frank Gambale that had a very similar sound to GH. Guthrie sent his first demo to Mark Varney as early as 1991. He also cited GW as one of his inspirations so that's not like he ripped him off, decades later. Guthrie gets credit for being the awesome player he is and he has is own distinct sound from Greg Howe.

[@nisosolic9290]

Let"s say Govan is just a copycat...Nothing new

[@firstdrifter]

About 27 years ago ....I try to learn this song and ... Find my self as " I'm not a good guitarist at all ...just kid wanabe good" Now ...2020 still trying T .T

[@doublebguitarplayer9434]

Love Greg. He’s an old teacher of mine from the 90”s lol. What a sick player,,,,funny I saw this same orange guitar signed by Greg,,,,,only reason I didn’t buy it was he made signature out to his guitar tech. Was like $500 I think at guitar center in Vegas.

[@liecht]

What can you say after this....WOW!! Greg is not the average shredder,he is amusician with many things to say,not just a lick-after-lick player.Somebody to learn a lot from with an original approach.A great player

Greg Howe in my opinion is absolutely one of the finest players ever!! He plays on a level that is just simply superior anyone who has ever played a guitar. When you add his creativity to the equation it puts him easily over the top. Just listen to his entire discography and you will get the picture, if you are a guitarist, you will see what I mean.

[@joelpolinepo3481]

Greg é sem dúvida um dos maiores de todos os tempos !!!

there's a lot of guitarist that who pretends to be a genius.. but not this man he's totally the best of them all... for me greg rules...

[@donquique1]

I listened to this around 1990. Then he switched to a more fusion sound but still love his style. However, I am more of a neoclassical progressive fan and Tony M is my all time favorite. This song brings me back to those times when I would listen to this on my 2 hour journey to college on a walkman. No cell phones and just music and my imagination. Fun times.

I remember buying this disk through a guitar magazine. I sent a check through the mail and waited a few weeks to get it. I didn't understand why but I liked Greg more than any other shredder at the time including Kotzen, Friedman, Firkins, etc. Shit, I didn't even know who Satriani was yet. He just a melodic style that I liked. Still holds true today! Love Extraction with Dennis Chambers and Victor Wooten.

[@frankie.d1127]

For those who may not know....Greg was one of the first "rock" guys to tap leading with the left hand- in other words, when he taps, he is hammering the notes with his left hand first. It opens a lot of doors because you can play arpeggios, string skip, slide in and out of notes with left hand or just a run a 3 or 4 note per string phrase. No doubt it spawned the next level of shred. Before you tube, it's hard to say if Guthrie came up with that on his own. Who knows- but Gregs been doing this since 89

[@osanan]

I agree with you, but he's been doing it since 87, actually. :)

[@jason96G]

And that's just since he's been recording music!

[@jtetrfs5367]

Yes. He calls it "hammer-ons from nowhere." It's an incredibly powerful and flexible technique once mastered.

[@a.s.2426]

I suspect Guthrie got it from Greg.

[@yesfan157]

It does not, "..lightly mute strings about 4 to 6 frets in front of it." It only mutes open strings. It's specifically only used when he is planning on doing a tapping sequence to prevent strings from ringing open. Think of it like ON/OFF; saying he movies it in 'ratio in respect to where he's playing' is misleading.

[@gtrzn1]

Actually George Van Eps was using a string damper built into his epiphone back in the 50's and it was patented back then

[@taradead]

I know it's just flash, but I love that hammer-on lick he does at 3:18

[@jakemf1]

Yes! Looks like a wide interval lick with tapping

[@MarcoCastilloWorld]

In chronological order..... Al Di Meola, Scott Henderson and Greg Howe....

[@frankfertier34]

Henderson for sure.

[@ubatooba8467]

Many people have gotten quite good on the instrument....I mean Real good. Mr. Howe (however) is a TRUE virtuoso among "Excellent" players. We can only hope of playing this good.....attainable by only a select few..... the air is real thin up on the mountain where these virtuoso's have ascended. Although I've even met Jennifer Batten.....Greg Howe is, hands down, the best (touring) guitarist he's ever had in the band.

[@slappywag7210]

I’ve been listening to Greg since he first released this song on shrapnel records. He’s Always been one of my favorites next to Richie Kotzen. The two collaborations they did together were amazing.

[@QuistJam]

Rockin.

[@MarvinSheats]

Greg is truly a blessed and gifted musician. He is no doubt one of my favorite guitarist.

[@RevolutionNTty]

so underrated....

[@KonicaHexanon]

Not true. I rate his work very high. In more serious sense, maybe he don't want that crazy kind of fame which will most likely disturb and push him in some kind of boundaries. He is how he likes it to be, having fun with what he loves to do in his own manner.

[@angelweaberr]

Dope !!!

[@michaelg2018]

it only lightly mutes strings about 4 to 6 frets in front of it. He moves it up the neck to keep that ratio in respect to where he's playing. It isn't fretting anything it just sits lightly on top of string. My opinion is clearly many play as clean or cleaner than this without this technique so I never messed with it. About 20 plus years ago I was really into Howe because I looked liked him a lot and played an HM Strat cause he endorsed it. Just felt like sharing. ha
