- Excerpts from the DiMarzio Day clinic at Musicians Institute. Greg Howe talks about linear tapping and other techniques. Greg plays "Pepper Shake" and "Jump Start" live with Marco Minnemann, Jude Gold and Billy Sheehan.
Greg Howe is a great musician and i would love to have the talent that he has. Keep up the great work Greg!!!!
He's much more than just the guy who auditioned for Dream Theater!
He's an amazing drummer, playing with Guthrie Govan and Bryan Bellar in The Aristocrats at the moment.
Greg Howe kicks ass, love his music. The Pepper Shake is my favorite song from his debut cd.
I agree with panmaniam... Look @ Malmsteen.. muddy as hell.. but if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have all those other player out with his style that make it sound easier and cleaner.. Haha...! Evolution..!! Loving every minute of it,. Greg is a Beast !!!!!
Greg and Billy together!! I grew up during the ´90s with that album, and it still amazes me, freaks me out!!! Best musicians in the planet after Mozart and Beethoven... Keep it up guys!!!
I went home on friday night.... i was bored.. of everything.... and I never thought that I was going to find this vid; watching my favorite guitar player, with the drummer of my other favorite guitar player and the bassist of two of my favorite guitar players...
Brilliant stuff, superb and inspirational as always! And very informative, thank you.
love the melody in this tune!
GH = top world class guitar playing
Wow this guys are the best!!!
Please upload the whole concert!!!!! XD
Pretty darn impressive...especially the drummer...gotta love that little moment after 5:10 mark....especially Greg's reaction to the band!
this is GREG HOWE!!!!!!
Yes!
some mega talent all round on that stage!
Greg The Monster of Guitar.
Fantastic
Theeeeeeee Paperrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Shakkkkkkkkkkkkke ! Greg Howe my Heros !!! thanx Larry
Cool tapping ideas, remember first hearing this tune on Mike Varney compilation CDs
Amazing guitarist all time favorite.
Great performance and cool lesson
the song he play in the front of the video is call "the pepper shake" which is from his
first album "Greg Howe"
the groove and band performance in this video is much better than the studio album(which is just my thought)
what a player ! Master Greg Howe !!!
Holy Crap - what a band!
As always Greg... Killer!
@recall34 if ur a guitar player, you'd know there is always excess string noise either from the other unwanted string vibrations or vibration from behind a plucked string. These vibrations can be muted with the right hand, but it is difficult to mute when your right hand is busy jumping around the fretboard tapping. using a dampener does not mean you are a sloppy player, and pros use it all the time
This is the dream team!!!
My Master greg howe!!!
Great band,i enjoyed it. Keep making good music.
Marco Minneman, I love you!
Thanks a lot!! :)
LOL, he plays guitar well too.
All the best,
Larry DiMarzio
They are both good choices, depending on the sound you are looking for. The Fast Track 1 has a sound that is more similar to a Strat-style single-coil.
Awesome!!! Greg, You`re guitar monster!!!!!!:-)
@JSGayMusic There's also another thing to say. If it wasn't for Greg Howe and other players of his era, there wouldn't be people who could do it cleanly. There is room for improvement in Greg's technique, but then again, he helped us get there, so I don't see how him using a dampener is a problem.
Marco is awesome :D
@fendermac I think you did not see Greg's fractal audio system at the right of Minnemann ;)
greg master!
First time I noticed string dampers was Victor Wooten - never heard anyone call him a cheater...
@recall34 from my exp. more gain makes it easier to tap because there's more compression; tapping is easier and thus you're able to pay more attention to muting the strings rather than the actual tapping itself. in the end you either hate or love the hairband cos to me the natural vibrations from the other strings adds to the tone. if it makes the music better then i see no problem with the hairband but to each his own i guess
The aristocrats asked Greg to join them before Guthrie did. I personally think if it wasn't for Greg- you wouldn't have the insane Guthrie Govan of today. He was one of the one first guys to tap leading with the left hand plus "hammer ons from nowhere"
+Francois DuJour
Wrong. It was just a one time gig. The Aristocrats was formed later between the three dudes.
without greg there would be no guthrie.
Wtf are you talkin about. Greg Howe played a few times with Minnemann and Beller at the Anaheim Bass Bash. Then in 2011 Greg couldn't make it an fans wrote Bryan, that he they should hire Guthrie. So they did and there was an instant chemistry. Also because Guthrie is an excellent listener ans improviser. His technique is so good, that he doesn't break a sweat an can concentrate on the interaction rather than his playing. At that first show he sight read and improvised to Marcos and Bryans songs, which he didn't know before, so flawlessly, that everybody where amazed. He's the best in the world. Of course Greg is great, too. He is one of my favorite guitarists and I follow him for decades now.
greg howe without doubt the most sick guitarist. next to guthrie and tom quayle etc
@fendermac Hahaha agreed, sir. It's great to see Jude up there with a Strat and an AC30 that looks more at home with the Beatles than on stage with these nutters.
Mr Larry! I have a question for you. Would a Fast Track 1 in the neck of a Jackson Dk2 be a good match with a Air Norton in the bridge? Or should I buy a Paf pro instead? Thanks in advance!
@panamanian911 thats true but dam hes a phenomanul player a genius he makes fusion so melodic =] and his rythym dam
@recall34 . with this being said, i guess ur right. greg was a tiny bit sloppy at the tapping section. ps. i did not realize many other ppl have already replied to ur comment. not trying to troll or anything
@SteveHubbardGuitar i am perfectly aware what a string dampener does, it muffles out open ringing strings from sloppy playing.where did i say it makes playing easier??
@recall34 i think he was having an off day.. a string dampener doesn't make playing any easier, btw
I really like the look of that Laguna compared to his new one .. He's great in any event.
Lol I came here to say the opposite and found your comment, agree to disagree I guess.
Yo! Howe -Too Good,I Always Forget Bout This Dude. Than When Ya Watch.. He Better Than Your Favorite Guy?,lol Insane
Have you heard Richie Kotzen and Greg Howe together?
Have Both!
Is Billy using the Line 6 Relay wireless here?
@recall34 So i'm guessing anybody who uses a dampener is a sloppy player. Right? Guthrie Govan, Michael Angelo Batio, John Petrucci, Andy James, and Shawn Lane. They ALL used dampeners either in the studio or live at one point or another.
@recall34 I think you're mistaken.. how many elite 'tappers' do you know of, that don't use a string dampener..
"he doesn't want to improve" is the comment I'm aiming this at
Is it only shredders that come to MI?
Besides all that coments made, Its not that easy to use a dampener and it doesn't cover that much, you always have to have the right technique and speed to put the dampener or take it off, for any of you who thinks using a dampener is cheating try using it and puting it on your fretboard just when you are about to play a difficult lick, specially in a song like jump start for example wich never stops for a rest!
That doesn't surprise me!
Isn;t that the drummer who auditioned for dream theatre but didn't got it?
Listen to The Aristocrats and tell me if you really wanted him in DT :P
Why is the dampeningthing bothering people? All that matters is that is sounds good, wether you do it by using a hairpiece or go do it with their right hand (which he can do btw, I've seen it) doesn't matter. The only important thing is that it sounds good. Technique is means to an end, not the end. In the end, it's all about the music, you should play whatever you hear in your head. If you're capable of that, you're technique is fine! Any musician will tell you that! Its no contest you know..
Plus, Guthrie uses a dampener. Not a problem
@SteveHubbardGuitar yes he should improve and not rely on a crutch.you are just gonna have to deal with my opinion about greg howe being a sloppy player.btw this isn't the first vid I've seen of him and i do like his music.My original statement stands.as far as dimarzio players that comes to mind as elite tappers is chris broddrick, he doesnt use a crutch and he uses alot, alot more gain...
BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ..................................................................
Why does that look like my guitar bro?
not as clean as back in the day, but still amazing!
Minnemann should have been the new drummer for Dream Theater :(
@SteveHubbardGuitar estás analizando bastante mal mi gran amigo. greg howe utiliza el amortiguador no sólo para hacer las cosas mas fáciles, sino para hacer tapping que sonarían sucios o que son imposibles de hacer sin amortiguadores. por lo visto no viste o escuchaste demasiados temas de greg howe. greg en sus temas despliega un técnica única. intenta tocar un tema de greg howe completo, jugá de la misma manera que él y despues hacé y poné los comentarios que quieras
tapping level - asian
Man, I hate baseball caps.
What a weird comment to make
Really? I kind of wish Virgil Donati would have filled the position, myself.
why is this such bad quality?
You people kill me !! Greg Howe needs 2 work on his technique??? REALLY??? U MUST B JOKING!! String dampeners are cheating?? LOL when any of u can play like this please share with us! Until then STFU Chuck!! Thanx a TON Larry and Greg 4 this awesome vid!!!!!
I have to say greg is a sloppy player and from the looks of him willing to use a dampener he doesn't want to improve...and become a cleaner player.
Great playing doesn't necessarily mean great music...right?
