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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Some of those bends and vibrato made me cry a tear

Greg will always be THE guitar hero for me

He clearly is

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.

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

He is miming here

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!

So great to see you still playing at the top of your game. I've been inspired by your playing since getting your first Shrapnel release on cassette tape. Wonderful amazing stuff! Keep on shinin'.

Just so inspiring it makes me want to play my guitar loads watching this. Thankyou Greg for giving a guitarist like me instant mojo again.

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

Dynamically Beautiful ! Thanks so much!

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.

Greg's one of my very favorite players, great blend of the melodic and dexterous.

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

Still one of the greats!! Love it!

One of the all-time greats 🔥

master thanks for this material.... i see your videos every day ....!!! congrats for this

Greg , your sounds are incredible ! I've been a fan of yours since the late eighties ! Your minds , style and techniques have always amazed me . Just wished I found you sooner . Please , keep us upto date on anything else , that you do . Thank's

Speechless! I am amazed.

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.

ALWAYS AT THE TOP ! listen you since first album !!!!!!!!!!

Woooow, Greg, great riffs, i like this!

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.

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

More videos like this please!

Great playing!!! Keep on rocking!!!

OMG this is like your best tone Greg!!! Wow!! Keep it up my bro

amazing as always

Greg - always one of the biggest inspirations... and most precise players ever

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.

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

Awesome playing!

Thanks good sir for the video and your style rocks 💯🔝👽 Subscribed!

Always Killer Greg! Been a fan since the 80s.

My first time ever hearing Him here!! Damn!! Gonna have to look into some back catalog!! Outstanding!!!

Fantastic Job! 🤘

2:53 Surprise Satch!

Awesome a fan from the 90' when I couldn't even get a CD to buy, literally retailers had no stock.

Damn. That was unbelievable 💥

Greg, how? Amazing as always, solos from Oracle and Morning view are my favorites

Hey Greg, very coincidental that you posted a video today because I just posted a cover of your song, “ The Pepper Shake! You’re one of my biggest inspirations when it comes to instrumental shreddists! I love how your style developed through the years keep shredding Brother! 🤘🤘🎸🤙

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

Such a unique sound 🤘

Amazing technical humble player. 👌 😃 love his sound.

Thats just sublime playing from one the all time best !

The great guitar master and living legend Greg Howe!

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.

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.

killing it! as always...

I love his way of whammy bar playing

Thanks Greg, That's sublime.

Amazing man.

Probably the most underrated guitarist ever along frank gambale.

I just listened to HOWE 2 High Gear cd a couple days ago. Greg was so fast around that time. Love the music on that cd.

Great guitar work! Damn

Greg is beyond awesome!!!

Great Greg one Big 👌🌱🍀

He is awesome!
