Greg Howe showcases his guitar work across the two DarWin albums

[@jojonov]

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?

[@TheRealJanKafka]

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

[@HeroS_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.

[@indian3750]

Some of those bends and vibrato made me cry a tear

[@dfifty2]

One of the most tasteful and creative guitarist of all time

[@tankaretka6983]

I'm just blown away by this man's performance.

[@jjdubois6101]

He is miming here

[@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.

[@TheGmcFilms]

Greg's touch really is one of the best in the business. Guy has nothing to prove ...G...

[@TheMichaelAbe]

Greg will always be THE guitar hero for me

[@armandogalla6484]

Guthrie and Greg both as my all time favorite

[@benjikohu1159]

Through and through Greg’s blackness DNA universal brotherness (soul)fuck yea bro

[@cupofsadge8359]

Petrucci and Howe for me

[@josealmeida2780]

Not only a Top solid musician, but still in top notch shape at 55 yo. Greg rooox

[@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 🙏🙏

Opened for Greg with The Static Dial in Detroit. Got to briefly meet him before the show, and he was a really friendly, cool guy. His set was top notch. Great player.

[@yuliusanthonysitinjak958]

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.

[@mathieudumain9598]

What a great...everything! Groove, feeling, tone, technics...🤤

[@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.

[@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.

[@Kebbius]

Great Solos. Thanks Greg. you are a great musician!!

[@marktheelf53]

Saw him live...one of most complete guitarman in the world...he has pratically all tecniques at top level !

[@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.

[@landajimmy]

Such a unique sound 🤘
