Greg has been doing selective picking a lot way before Tosin from Animals as Leaders has popularized it. He's amazing.

[@osanan]

Greg is a GENIUS that has never ever got the recognition he deserves. Back in the late 80s he was already doing all the things that made Guthrie Govan famous in the 2000s. Greg Howe is a living legend!

[@humanactivated1017]

Greg has gottent more recognition than every single guitarist but van Halen . He played for Rhianna Julio Iglesias salt and pepa , even Micheal Jackson or the king of pop . You just don't know guitar players recognition .

[@robphillips8351]

Couldn't agree more, still one of the best guitarist/musician of All time.

[@robphillips8351]

👍👍

[@tmarti3207]

Hammer ons from nowhere are the key for FAST pentatonics!🙌

[@andreamas7692]

for once youtube raccomending me really really good stuff. THX Greg, d'addario and youtube. in this exact order

[@TheCountofToulouse]

The thing I love about Greg is the same thing I love about the other GREAT Howe, Steve. They're both GUITAR NERDS!! They're both ALL in and in every single way, they have absurd recall capacity and lighting fast memories. I'm sort of late to Greg but I've been going back and listening...astonishing. I love the guy and how articulate and astute he is about what he does. He must be the most incredible teacher.

[@Inverse_Sense]

I love to see the ADAT in the background and know that this content is still relevant today and many years to come. Technique, always great melody, and just being cool, that's Greg Howe.

[@BrandonOutside]

Aka, simply tapping with the left hand (or fretting hand) 👍 Def a good technique to become familiar with

[@AdamLevyGuitarTips]

Holy cow - this is astounding. Thanks for sharing, Greg!

[@daddarioandco]

[@gus2n]

Legend

[@Keno9462]

Great advice thank you! Will work on it

[@nedhook8709]

This is amazing!

[@joeplevak2853]

Thank you Greg for the explanation, I was wondering how it was possible to play so fast, I knew you were using the fingers of your right hand, but such speed. I'll practice tomorrow :)

[@Eryk.Burkharth]

Today 😂😂

[@arosalesmusic]

That is something flamenco guitarists always do

[@pauldeatherage6112]

Nice guitar, and love those bogner heads. I have a be100 deluxe and a evh

[@steveweilhart2359]

It's easy once you get it - takes a bit of practice though - I've almost got it now Thanks Greg - your one of the best! - such a cool guy also - appreciate you

There are several guitar pieces by Julio Sagreras in his books and methods for learning classical guitar, around 1930, where he used that technique.

[@pauldeatherage6112]

His strap didnt move one time, when i set down i have to fight my strap the whole time im sitting

[@ironfront9573]

You gotta set your strap smaller for sitting so it just stops the guitar sliding off your leg.

[@OlemirCandido]

It really is an original technique and totally useful for any guitar player. Thank you for sharing this.

[@pauldeatherage6112]

What heads are those at the 2 bottom shelves

[@ribbonsofeuphoria5744]

They’re Cornfords. I think the MK50 mk2

[@rousejeremy]

Greg Howe is amazing but I doubt his claim of inventing this. Shawn Lane was doing this stuff in the 80s at least. Allan Holdsworth as well.

[@user-fb2jb3gz1d]

Greg Howe.......... What else is there to say

[@sungsupaek]

Does Greg Howe kinda look like Paul Gilbert?

[@superflysoulbrother]

I always saw a resemblance to Eddie
