Guthrie Govan: "I’m guessing that when most modern rock players say they want to get their 'fusion' down, they don’t particularly want to learn ‘Autumn Leaves’, they want instant Greg Howe! Listen to Charlie Christian, Django, Miles Davis, Wes Montgomery... listen to what those guys could do over a simple blues progression, you’ll start to absorb what’s happening harmonically, and after a while ‘jazz’ ingredients won’t sound so strange to your ears. That’s when you can start really using it!"

Great stuff Greg, looking forward to more!

Notice how many guitarists with extremely advanced playing style also have quite beautifully developed speech skills and rich vocabulary. Howe and Govan are great examples. Listening to them speak is just as exciting as listening to them do their magic on an instrument.

Why is there always some idiot making comments on these types of videos about "feel". This guy is on the very tip of the spear for human capacity to master an instrument, don't try and take away from that because your plebian taste prefers the simplicity of mainstream guitar players.

I had the pleasure of taking a few lessons from Greg a couple of years ago. Great guy, great teacher, phenomenal player. When I asked him how he got his level of technique, he said he's never been the kind of guy to just sit there and do exercises for technique's sake. He would mostly jam with whatever happened to be playing on the radio or TV at the time. You can tell by his incredibly lyrical playing that he's not your typical 'technique' guy. But my gosh, this guy can burn!!!

Cool, humble and intelligent, And, of course, a freaking monster.

This guy changed the concept of playing guitar. He'll be a legend of guitar mastery. No words to define.
-
He's a really bright guy in the verbal sense as well. It's great when an amazing player knows how to convey information to others. This is a great lecture...I may even add it to favorites.

This video changed the way I listen to and play music. Contrast is an amazing concept. Thanks for posting.

I never in my life have heard a guitarist/guitar teacher explain so eloquently the idea of improve and creativity in guitar soloing. Excellent, I felt a gained an immense amount of insight after watching, thank you Greg Howe.
-
Interesting. I like how he can actually try to explain his playing.
-
I've only recently become more aware of Greg Howe. He really is an incredibly thoughtful and articulate speaker and player.
-
Underrated Wizard! I was blown away when I heard the introspection album!
-
Greg’s left hand moves in a really unique way, he‘s like Wes Montgomery in that he doesn’t use the pinky that much. Lots of 3 note per string stuff.
-
The most fluid and natural guitar player on earth, great teacher!
-
What a great guy, and a fantastic talent!
-
This is great, Greg should make a comprehensive instructional DVD. 8-)

One of the most informative video's I've seen on YouTube by one of my favourite players. Thanks Greg :)
