Greg is at the top of my list because he has EVERYTHING: brutal groove, feeling, tasty melodies, yummy notes choice, impressive technical virtuosity, each album is a complete universe of flavors, his tone is beyond amazing, and his fusion (rock-jazz-and sometimes-latin-influence) makes him a never boring monster.

[@tandybare]

true. sure you've heard Max Ostro as well.

[@vincentfrangipane2965]

❤

[@garystone3744]

My all-time favorite. NOBODY BETTER. PERIOD. Not just my favorite guitar player, but over-all musician as well. Nobody puts everything together like Greg. The 2 albums he did with Richie, they're pretty even on guitar playing, but every song Greg wrote is pretty much stellar, and every song Richie wrote is pretty much MEH.

[@dfifty2]

I can't agree more. Greg is a genius

[@dfifty2]

@@tandybare Max is truly amazing, although his playing wouldn't exist w/out Greg's

[@captaincanada8872]

He doesn’t get anywhere near the credit he deserves. Hybrid picking before anyone was doing it outside of Country. His transition from rock to fusion was mind blowing. His influence on every single modern fusion player is undeniable. He’s a GOAT for certain.

[@MrVladaF]

Captain: try with Igor Paspalj, Bosnian Serb.

[@agustinalessio]

who is this ''darwin'' tho and why he got those musicians in his record? is like some random millionaire that payed a lot to them?

[@jankafka7330]

He's in the same league, playing at the same level, as thousands of musicians the world over, that's for sure.

[@Classic_DionysuS]

Anyone who knows of Greg speaks EXTREMELY highly of him. Like bring his name up to any of the pros, and its always Greg? WOW.

[@espojespo5]

One major criticism and it's a matter of taste. I hate his tone. No balls to it. I much rather listen to a Lukather or Morse.

[@davidkiefer9875]

Man, what awesome tone he has, not to mention technique and essentially everything else in his playing. He is also very versatile. His first album was him ripping with Billy Sheehan and their tones are so authentic that they complimented each other so well. Then Greg's 2nd album was Howe II with his brother AL singing. I've got to say I got to see these dudes in Oakland in 1988 and they were great. Sounded like I was listening to Van Halen II. Greg was without a doubt the closest I have heard (especially live) to King Edward's Brown Sound. Howe II was a really good band. Really great tunes with perfectly fitting solos. Then I can also hear Greg tearing it up with dudes that played with Miles Davis. Greg fit right in with Paul Chambers. His tone had matured so well. Greg Howe is always a really great listening experience. It's also really cool how far and wide he travels to bring his playing literally all over the world... and in many ways Greg is a world class guy. He's extremely well spoken, he is heavily involved in the design of his guitars and amps too. That new Amp he finished designing was really cool. He had intentionally tooled it way back for a straight ahead, less congested and more simplistic approach which he achieved with great success. Pretty much the definition of his career and it is well deserved.

Greg will always be THE guitar hero for me

[@armandogalla6484]

Guthrie and Greg both as my all time favorite

[@indian3750]

Some of those bends and vibrato made me cry a tear

[@frankherrmann965]

Mr. Howe, you are one of the best e Guitarplayers in the History! Forever!

[@guitar66shred]

Greg has always been an inspiration. Back when my Shrapnel CD came out, we used to exchange ideas over the phone every now and then. I have great memories of him performing with his brother Al on vocals and Joe Nevolo on drums in Howe 2. Joe Nevolo was the same drummer who played on my Shrapnel CD. Ever time I'd see him play, I'd go home and have tons of new ideas!

[@dsalbert9572]

I loved both Howe II CDs! Never got to see him/ them play live- but I still put them on LOUD AND PROUD!!

[@undertheglassmoon2239]

Wow Mr. Stephen Ross.. Super guitar heroes series 🙏🙏

[@joostvergoossenmusicfullne8630]

You made me cry...heart and soul, period! Thx 🙏

[@donovanweber6059]

It's amazing how many virtuoso level guitarists there seems to be. I can't resist comparing them to find the best of the best. It's easy when some aspect of their playing grabs your attention. For me that extreme level of technical playing can at times create sensory overload blurring the lines enough it all begins to sound the same. Greg Howe grabs my attention with his very identifiable style that's unique to him. I will always know when I'm listening to Greg Howe. For me he's one of the most recognizable of the whole lot of them.

[@slappywag7210]

Amazing player! I’ve been listening since the shrapnel records days🤘🎸

[@TheArtofGuitar]

That 2nd one makes me wonder if the world would be a better place if you were in a metal band. :)

Known and saw his video when he played a Extraction with dennis chamber and tetsuo sakurai..with unique slide and bending..he deserves to be a role model for rock and jazz guitarists.

[@j.michaelfinehomesllc85]

Imagine the crazy things Greg comes up by himself that he thinks people wouldn’t want to hear but we would die just to hear it.

[@Geotubest]

Just ¨discovered¨ you on someone else's channel the other day, then you popped into my suggested videos. Great playing! So many people need to hear you.

[@sowelldon]

Greg I’m a bass player that you influenced in a major way. I know it’s a guitar song but the way you groove when you do itis SICK! Social Fever changed my life. Thanks Bro.

[@davidgerlach1132]

Greg H is the man with the axe in hand, always God does good for those who do good for themselves. Always a great melody in this man's hands for us fellow guitarists to enjoy.

[@rudya4970]

U can definitely pick out Greg's tone from a guitar line-up any day. Always been a fan. Modern Jeff Beck imo

How in the world did I never hear of this guy?

[@rallumonslefeu3451]

Greg Howe, c'est vraiment LE guitariste. C'est celui-là qu'il faut regarder, examiner, étudier. En dehors des circuits guitaristiques il n'est pas extrêmement connu, et pourtant après toutes ces années il finit par l'être au niveau mainstream tant son immense talent le propulse. Déjà en 95 Michael Jackson (qui avait toujours 25 ans d'avance sur son époque) ne s'y était pas trompé. Remercions donc qui de droit (dieu, la création ou la nature au choix :) :) de nous avoir donné Greg Howe.

[@oliverpls]

I'm a simple man, I see Greg Howe and I click.

So do I; I suggest we should mage a group: it would be called "simple minds"
