Greg Howe Performs Proto Cosmos At Guitar Center

[@MrVector29]

Fusion Jazz Guitar technique at its finest! Lots of hours in the basement to be able to play like this gentleman... respect!

[@BenMcrea61]

The clarity of this video is excellent. And Greg is sublime as always...

[@mariojuniorjosealves2921]

Greg é simplesmente maravilhoso e genial.

[@bigwheel63]

Great playing, great tone !

[@DanielVerberne]

That sliding vibrato, that's Howe.

[@2473739]

That's so Holdsworth!! fucking love it.

[@faithandpractice]

Animal. One of my very favorite players EVER. I don't really have a "more favorite" I just can't decide between him and about 1 or two others.

[@lucianmunteanu8751]

Care-s ceilalți doi?

[@hanskorn]

What camera did you film with? The quality is amazing.

[@YuvalRon]

I don't understand how can all these people in the background walk around like nothing happens.

[@johnstitt2615]

the devil cried I think you are digging too deep. Most people don’t even care about this music, even guitar players. So they just walk around. We are a dime a dosen as well.

[@robertvetter1011]

@the devil cried Exactly. He's playing is decent here at best, but still light years away from Holdworths' melodic and rhythmic intensity.

[@rogerrios8844]

Hahahaha! Right, I wonder the same

[@bienvenidovelasco6834]

Because it's just a bunch of repetitive noise

[@SpartanLaserCanon]

*Fusion intensifies* 🤣

[@eddie81540]

Toda esa gente pasa como si nada..... Yo estuviera de intenso con el maestro Howe jaja.... GENIO Howe

[@fryk2462]

Whoa!!! 101-0...the most complete guitarist ever.

[@elementsofphysicalreality]

Where can I get this backing track? It sounds like the original but with his leads taken out. Dennis on drums always.

[@virgilrw]

Howe is a #monster! #Wow! What a tribute to Allan Holdsworth! ☆☆☆☆☆

[@THX-vp9fz]

Please dont call the best ones monster, would you like to read that about yourself? Thx

[@woopetywoopwoop]

@@THX-vp9fz I'd be ok with it, personally

[@Scott_works]

Alan Pasqua wrote the tune...

[@ooferrell]

Rip holdsworth..... so awesome that Greg how did this

[@KK10155]

goddamn it I didnt know that! RIP

[@lalihari]

how can people just walk by and not know what they are witnessing?

[@speedsterh]

Probably because 99.9999% of people are clueless about what's good music.

[@RobotChampionSC]

speedsterh unfortunate but true; most are tonedeaf...just be grateful you aren't

[@slovokia]

lalihari Music is like learning a language, you need to listen a while to a genre before you can understand or fully appreciate it.

[@faithandpractice]

good point

[@sunnys5150]

WOW!

[@craigharrison5406]

Greg Howe is amazing. Frank Gambale would love this track lol.

[@christopherweinert9935]

If I would literally be losing my shit if I saw this in person.....

[@THX-vp9fz]

I definately have more fun listening and watching this clip than looking at a hundred million dollar oil painting in a museum

[@snail415]

I was waiting for the ruler of Zamunda to come down the escalator. Lot's of Allan's songs work well over Coming to America bits.

[@romgtr]

Love Greg's playing... I think his tone would be, at least for this song, if he uses the neck pick up.

[@balkharianlion]

The blond kid at 2:57 is the next guitar hero, I can see it in his eyes.

[@frisoco9825]

I put my money on the guitar kid coming down the escalator at 2:14-2:20

[@Scott_works]

I can play the chords, the head. Now I just have to work on the solo...

[@ttown918]

If I could magically have all of the talent of three guitar players, I'd probably take Guthrie, Gilbert and Howe.

[@gitaaa7740]

Anybody know what amp he was using?

[@SamFreres]

Gitaa A The Lick Box from Carl Martin.

[@toilpainter]

Greg generally uses both his custom made Keisel/Carvin guitars and his Custom DV Mark Maragold 40 watt amps. Don't know what Greg is using for this video. FYI: He also uses a Boss DD-3 Digital Delay to keep his delays very simple and clean.

[@coleyounger3701]

Gitaa A ...sears silvertone with a 8 inch celestion vintage 30!!!

[@kramevangelista5242]

Is not a DVMARK?

[@tiagonewguita]

What camera did you record the video ?

[@SOULography]

Canon 5D MkII...lens is a Canon 50mm 1.4

[@tiagonewguita]

Grateful!

[@kieronbowker9983]

WTAF, Meanwhile on another planet.

[@iMikeyLuv]

Very accomplished player.....just not my cup of tea. Many, many notes being played. I need more melodic w/ some groove to get my juices flowing. This is not a criticism just my thoughts on this genre of music.. The Holdsworth, Steve Howe, Fripp, Bill Frisell, Frank Gambale style is not one i enjoy listening to. Only an opinion not a criticism.

[@rodrigorivera4679]

try with scott henderson, very rhyitmical playing

[@planetpjr]

they are all different.

[@Wizardofgosz]

What in gods name does Steve Howe have to do with the other players in your list? Fripp for that matter too. His playing is so NOT related to the fusion stuff from Holdsworth of Gambale.

[@JosePineda-jn8jk]

Drink that HATEorade

[@catrinacompositions]

this is very very advanced suckage.

[@DerEchteBold]

Haha, that's a quite proper definition of Jazz/Fusion ; )

[@redghost3170]

You don’t have a musical note in your brain....if you have a brain. You just witnessed one of the greatest guitarist in history.

[@balkharianlion]

Allan Holdsworth's version of Proto Cosmos is better.

[@biscobisco1882]

Better how?

[@balkharianlion]

@@biscobisco1882 just my opinion

[@barackobama9552]

@@biscobisco1882 I mean Allan played on the original, and his style is exactly what this guy is trying to replicate.

[@biscobisco1882]

@@barackobama9552 Okay, that doesn't explain how it's 'better' necessarily.

[@AngeloSanto75]

I'm sorry to break the party but I'm a big fan of Howe but don't find this convincing. Some false note (not out, false) and not very melodic, just some shreds to hide the lack of control over this (difficult) tune. Plus his sound here is not the best either. Please don't kill me youtube people :D

[@vegastation24]

yeah this one is not very great, its weird cuz he usually doesnt play like this which is weird

[@DigitalLoom]

i love howe but hes gotten really sloppy..he has the genius but hes not striking that thing like a knife its more of a smere of genius ...
