I've been listening to Greg Howe since the 80s and I have always admired his amazing playing. His playing has always gotten better and better through the years. He is one of my top favorite guitarists for sure. I would love to see him play live with Dennis Chambers on drums and Victor Wooten on bass.
Greg Howe is one of the best guitar players on the planet. I have listened to his albums since his first album came out in 1988. His playing blows my mind!
I would love to see Greg Howe and Andy Timmos playing in a concert, these two guys are very complex in their playing guitar, would be awesome to see them live.
What I absolutely LOVE ist the amazing feel for melodic candy in his playing. His playing has head and shoulders and he is among the most amazing shred players. Pretty close to Satriani IMHO with less Rock but more Fusion appeal.
+jeff holloway Yeah his tone is smooth and articulate. Dimarzio did a great job with that Custom GH pickup in the bridge. I liked his tone on this song but I think it sounds a little flat (low treble) but, maybe that's just personal player preference.
this guitar is my fav out of the 7 that own..balanced,tone never ceases to just always make me feel that every pick,strum,hammer on, tap or whatever i do just flows from inside ya..thx greg..great inspiration and truley gifted,talented artist/musician :) greg seems like just one of the coolest,down to earth guy who is like a friend that you enjoy jamming with. i dont think he has ever taken his talent for granted and loves to share his ability with everyone..
Greg is one of my all time heros! Been listening since I got hold of the album Howe2. Just want to say what a coooool idea the hair band is!! It works!! Cheers Greg!

I had the pleasure of meeting Greg at a clinic he did at Sam Ash in Las Vegas. And I'll tell you, he's one of the most down to earth and cool guys you will ever meet.
@HeilTheOperator There are several possible choices, but more info is needed to narrow them down. Please email your question to tech@dimarzio.com and include your choices (if you already know them) for the middle and bridge positions. This should make it possible to recommend the best neck pickup.
to those who say "this sound better than govan", or daniele gottardo or the other guys, let me tell you: they love Greg Howe, he was playing amazing stuff decades before the "modern" guitar players...
@Ibik Hi, I did all the early models, Super Distortion, P Bass, PAF etc. Steve Blucher does most of the pickup design work now but I still over see everything. Now, I designed all the cables, straps, advertising, videos and the DiMarzio website. Steve started working with me over 30 years ago and he is really good. Hope that helps, Larry DiMarzio
Mr Greg Howe Thank you for demonstrating how to play it like ed does you really got it, only advance guitar player could understand now I'm going back to play my guitar again. and it won't be long ill have my original with the rock version.I got 5 more christmas song to go, in a pop rock style i've learn that for watching michael video and now ill use your style on a rock version.I got a Low budget believe me if i got money ill hired you to be my lead guitar player it will be perfect. God Bless and keep on rocking,I like to learn everything you know, only advance guitar player could understand you, to me i see it so clear, i never thought it would be that easy, Thank you and i wont let you down.
Hi Larry, thanks for building your amazing pickups...I have a mexican strat...i changed the pickups...i have a chopper on the bridge and a HS3 on the neck...The guitar sounds really really good...Thanks man... :-)
Lmao! I love Greg.I was lucky to have taken some lessons from Greg in th OC.Incredible feat to play for Michael Jackson by the seat of his pants! Thanks for the post Larry!
Link this video to showing mastering of groove, timing along with technical prowess. Especially to our basic over-worn sweeping picking 3-notes per string alternate picking generation. Such a joy to watch, I love his jams with Kotzen.
Man, I spent the whole night shift with "Kick it All Over" playing in my head... Such a memorable riff and melody! EmotionalShredd... You are so right! I've been wondering if anybody noticed his similarities with EVH... And I notice now how he speaks like Vai.
Greg has never been recognized as much as he should be. He is just amazing.

That man can play.
Hi,
Greg sometimes uses a hair tie to mute the open strings on his guitar. Give it a try.
All the best,
Larry DiMarzio
One of my fave guitarists, thats jazz rock fusion cutting the changes so hard to do...i love that gat too...Beast mode🥇🎸🕺🏼
I would love to see Greg Howe and Andy Timmos playing in a concert, these two guys are very complex in their playing guitar, would be awesome to see them live.
Me too, my two favorite players !!
dfifty2 DiMarzio pickups + Mesa amps = magic. Works awesomely for GH, AT, and JP, just to name a few.
you forgot Guthrie !!!!!!
What I absolutely LOVE ist the amazing feel for melodic candy in his playing. His playing has head and shoulders and he is among the most amazing shred players. Pretty close to Satriani IMHO with less Rock but more Fusion appeal.
He is interchanging between noodling and the main theme. Thats how improvisation should be!
this is just amazing... by ANY measure. Just gets better and better
I like his quick back and forth slides. I think I'm gonna steal that technique for my own playing..
he's great..like his tone
+jeff holloway Yeah his tone is smooth and articulate. Dimarzio did a great job with that Custom GH pickup in the bridge.

Damn! I love his playing so much! Fantastic rhythmic approach in his licks!
Larry, thank you so much for putting up all those awesome clips !!!
He's a shredder of shredders.
Satch's Jam Room he and Tony Macalpine!
Smooth, effortless and beautiful. Great playing!
Most under-rated guitarist ever, respect!!!
No, it's called "Kick It All Over" from his debut self-titled album 1988.
Im not going to stop practicing u till i can play this good..
Jake Baynes I wish more people had your mentality
Jake Baynes don´t forget to sleep and eat. i forgot. It is important to be in good form.
Brian Gosling Haha, yes, you more often than not hear the opposite mentality.
+Jake Baynes Good idea, I'll do the same, even if it takes another lifetime!
I'm just not going to stop practising
Great interview, thanks for this.
Thanks for posting. Love Greg Howe.
Fantastic as always
bloody brilliant, incredibly clean.
i love these videos, and greg's playing sooooo good!
It was funny how as soon as he started doing the Eruption stuff even his face started looking like EVH.
this guitar is my fav out of the 7 that own..balanced,tone never ceases to just always make me feel that every pick,strum,hammer on, tap or whatever i do just flows from inside ya..thx greg..great inspiration and truley gifted,talented artist/musician :) greg seems like just one of the coolest,down to earth guy who is like a friend that you enjoy jamming with. i dont think he has ever taken his talent for granted and loves to share his ability with everyone..

Greg is one of my all time heros! Been listening since I got hold of the album Howe2. Just want to say what a coooool idea the hair band is!! It works!! Cheers Greg!
amazing player, humble and clever at a time.
might be a little bit of the way this was filmed but I think the tones he had on Introspection blow this totally out of the water.
Greg´s guitar playing is out of this world. No doubt, one of my favorites...
His style reminds me of Ritchie Kotzen...great in both times. Great players! I love those none bend vibratoes!
Yes Greg what an awesome style you have sir and a killer tone
this guy takes the blues to the extreme and what a nice guitar awesome tone!
Beautiful.
Awesome! Love u Greg. Jammed for MJ even wow. Love the Fusion

greg howe!...what a star.
thank you for the tastefully executed master class.
I dropped a Super Distortion in my Strat back in 1983 and haven't looked back. It still kicks butt.
Truly one of the greats. Just really mind blowing stuff.
hey larry great video, and i think the fact that you actually reply to people who ask you questions on your videos shows the real class of dimarzio!
what a fantastic player!
beautiful tone and unique style.
Amazing ........again !
Amazing!
I had the pleasure of meeting Greg at a clinic he did at Sam Ash in Las Vegas. And I'll tell you, he's one of the most down to earth and cool guys you will ever meet.

Such a skilled player!!
Great material. Love the Maragold stuff..

Great player. Very interesting sounds, musical ideas. Tasty stuff.
I absolutely love this. I'm not well versed in music theory, but whatever mode or scale he's playing is great. Just sounds so cheerful.
I love his tapping ....
Gotta just love his vibrato!
amazing tone
Great phrasing, cool lick, groovy riff..... one of pioneer rock/fusion guitarist which made popular of hybrid picking
@edgarrg94 Thanks for the kind words.
All the best,
Larry DiMarzio

Truly one of the worlds best
the taping at is amazing 3:55
very melodical and smooth
@rayzguitar
As I explained above, the neck pickup is actually an Air Norton S. Any reference to a Breed neck model is simply an error.
so what is the bridge pickup?
28 people with thumbs down are saying "I'm jealous and I wanna play guitar"
I love this video!
****
He is my favorite....he is the best!!!!
Bravissimo!
I have DP 100 super distortion on my LP and I love it very much.
Greg please come to England!
good sound makes a good player humble.
Hi Larry, thanks for building your amazing pickups...I have a mexican strat...i changed the pickups...i have a chopper on the bridge and a HS3 on the neck...The guitar sounds really really good...Thanks man... :-)

wow. that guitar sounds really good.
3:37-3:44 there is this little thing he does there that will take anyone who actually studies guitar aback. Greg Howe does inspire!
That tapping he does @6:26-- is crazy! : D
damn awesome greg howe. i wish.
Man, I spent the whole night shift with "Kick it All Over" playing in my head... Such a memorable riff and melody!
EmotionalShredd... You are so right! I've been wondering if anybody noticed his similarities with EVH... And I notice now how he speaks like Vai.
