    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!

    • @TheVintageyear
      @TheVintageyear Před 9 lety +9

      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
      @TheVintageyear Před 8 lety +6

      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).

      @@TheVintageyear fun fact is that i have been to a greg's clinic back in 2008/2009 and he liked to refer to himself as a rock guitar player with some jazzy licks.
      He's really a nice guy who would never compare himself to other guitar legends; he also said he was very grateful to allan for what he learned from him.

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.

    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.
