Greg's playing has always been the perfect mix of shredding, groove and soulfulness.

He's as articulate a speaker as he is a player...great demo !!

Aside from being an awesome fusion shredder, I had no idea Greg Howe is so amazing at demoing gear. He looks and sounds so polished/articulate when he speaks. Carvin should hire Greg to do all their demos - this guy rocks. Sweet guitar/amp too!

tonykratos I'm a fan of Greg but I wouldn't say that. Fusion is a really broad term. This type of fusion is very different from the jazzier type of fusion like John Scofield, Allan Holdsworth, Mike Stern, Scott Henderson, Wayne Krantz. Harmonically and rhythmically. This type of fusion is more aimed towards rock and metal guitar players.

@TheVintageyear

8 жыл бұрын

Not trying to sound rude, but I strongly recommend taking studying jazz harmony and jazz melody a lot more before comparing Greg and Allan. Greg is rock-fusion and the other one is JAZZ-fusion. There are BIG harmonic textural differences between them. The differences between Allan and Greg might seem small to most rock players but if you have been interested in jazz for a long time you'll hear the BIG difference between the harmonic and melodic content of Allan Holdsworth and Greg Howe. It's not just the amount of gain or technique or style they're using. In the "jazzier type" of fusion you can look to Pat Metheny, early-Scott Henderson, Frank Gambale, John Scofield or Michael Brecker for that matter If you want to actually hear HARMONY and not just the shred licks/rock techniques and to actually outline chord changes in more than a haphazard way. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Greg because he's one of the few rock players who understand the importance of harmony and rhythm when it comes to improvising over changes (unlike a very famous "fusion" guitarist whose name start with "S"), but Greg's way of playing over changes is different for those jazz-fusion guys who hear harmony with a lot more precision like let's say like those who play over changes habitually (Allan Holdsworth, Ben Monder, John Scofield, Adam Rogers or Scott Henderson for example).

Greg is an absolute class act and one of the nicest most humble guys you will ever meet. See you at Rod's shop , Greg!

I did a studio gig in the early 2000s and he was the guitar player, he was very impressive and a very nice guy.

One of the most well spoken music artists out there, he plays like he talks if u think about it lol

Been playing all my life and I’m 51. Greg is now my favorite. You can’t touch this guy.

I think some of these debates comparing players is a little ridiculous. Especially comparing "fusion players." They each have their own style and sound; the phrasing, note choices, tone, techniques used, etc. They are ALL AWESOME!

Wow. I think the master has his best tone ever yet. Thanks to Carvin and Dv Mark. Lovin this..

i just cant stop listening to this OUTSTANDING improvisation at the beggining of this video ... i hope he will include this improv into his next solo album as a track .

Like fine wine, gets better with age... Greg is amazing and sounds better than ever...

Sounding great as always Greg!

A true master and a gentleman , thanks for the rundown Greg, just fabulous!

mind blown every moment Greg plays! Been a huge fan since the early years.

Congratulations Greg...Awesome sounding. .

Amazing GREG HOWE! Precision, class, good taste, kill licks and phrasing in a rhythmic ballet of quick finger! THE KING OF FUSION!!!

Best tone you've ever had! Loved the jam at the beginning!

I'm so blessed to have grown up in the 80s... guys like this were everywhere... the talent was incredible

Thanks for the rundown on your gear,sounds great.Love the versatility!

seriously. Can't ever think of a solo I've heard from this guy that I don't like. Is and will always be one of the greatest.

always enjoyed your playing greg, thx for the video

Simply amazing, Greg! One of my biggest idols!

Thank you Greg, I follow your music since Shrapnel’s years, with HOWE II, and your later fusion and jazzy touch open my ears and my brain to the eclectic beautiful of your music. Thank you from the bottom of my soul. Because just only with your notes you grown me to be a better man. Thank you again.

Great stuff and great playing,Greg!

Sounds great Greg! Awesome! Congrats!

I NEED one of those guitars!! Everything is PERFECT on it. No one plays better than Greg.

Great demo's.. love the sound from his new gear..so punchy and warm..👌

So much groove and awesome phrasing! Great tone and feel :-o

I've got to say, this muf/ this dude is bad assed fo realll... I've been following him since he started, for all of us that guitar world was our people magazine, this brother, of which he and I share similar heritage, has taken up the gauntlet of guitar playing to a whole new level!!! :-)

Finally a proper DV Mark Maragold demo! Took a while to hear this amp properly.

Not sure if you will ever see this Greg...but i will say to you keep inspiring!! Its been a long time. I haven't seen you, but I've seen your brother in the past. We talked for a few mins, and it was great to see him. I've followed several stages of all you've accomplished. Its been a long time since BMRR. I won't give it all out, but it was the street you grew up on and when you and your brother use to help me as a very youg kid. The family is proud of you and i am very happy on how you have succeeded. I will never forget your performances with DUKE from our highschool to the local bars in town. Damn. Long time. Good luck my friend and best wishes.

Awesome, as always!

I played the amount today at guitar center. All I can say is the thing is amazing. ..great clean channel. One of the best I've tried. This video doesn't do enough justice to how GREAT it sounds....and feels to play. The gain channel is like s smooth Marshall...but warmer.....lots of gain. Loved it.

I still love the groove / pulse of your lines.

Always intellectual, not just in interviews or demos, but also in actual playing. Thanks for the inspiration, Greg!

Great playing, great tone, and he seems like a down to earth person. One of the few shredders I like. He has a lot of feeling in his playing.

Awesome Greg! Cheers from Brazil!

Greg Howe by far is one of the best players on the planet. It's not only his ability on the fretboard but his creativity which sets him apart. Listen to his CDs. Some of the most amazing music you will ever hear.

So amazing. Great teacher too.

Slammin guitar and amp combination. Played them at NAMM. Wow. Can't wait to get this.

great sounding amp

wow, spectacular, Greg rocks!!

Great! hope to hear an instrumental album from you soon!

LOVE that guitar!

Greg is such an articulate and thoughtful person - makes sense, given his sophisticated playing. I enjoy the fact that he's not a meathead. I always enjoy his playing - he definitely needs more recognition!

Met him at NAMM years ago, total class act!

simply an amazing fusion playa +++ crytal clear explanations

If you didn't see how good Greg Howe is you would find it hard to believe? Just phenomenal!

Greg haves very similar style with tony Macalpine and very humble like him curiously tony played carving guitars on the past 6 and 7 strings guitars were very cool and the reason why tony left carvin was due to the 8 strings guitar with floyd and only Ibanez makes come true his 8 strings guitar dream . Satriani on 2010 switches to 24 frets too , Vai ( many years ago ) , Guthrie Gorvan and Howe very nice team of 24 frets

godly chops

probably the most unique style ive seen out of a shredder... unorthodox to the max...

Man this guy kills it, wow.

Incredible timbre!

Best of the Best!!

Greg Howe rules ! Awesome feeling ...

Nice playing and technique. You're a guitar guru that mix a lot of styles and music compass. I'm your fan and you're a inspiration to thousands of guitarrists around the world. Since I've listened your first LP recorded in 1988 I couldn't imagine it was possible play that feeling and speed. I just doesn't know how have you developed all of these techniques. Success in your career and I hope someday to watch a Workshop. See ya!!!!

*Very cool ! Greetings from Spain !*

Nice to see Greg getting picked up by a really good company, Carvin. I couldn't understand why he played those Laguna's for a few years, there had to be other companies out there willing to endorse him. I play Ibanez myself but Carvins are super well made with a plethora of options. Very very nice guitars and Greg's looks like candy. Amazing player, a great influence to have in any players ear.

Greg Howe, one of the truly transcendent players of our time. Played the Maragold the other day, really a great amp for lead...funny too, I do the "basketball test" with every amp I buy, didn't know anyone else did that! The DV passed with flying colors, not exactly a heavy rock or metal amp, but does the "instrumental rock" thing better than anything else out there.

Fabuloso ! Felicidades Greg !!!

Super dude man!! give it all!!
