That first song, ' I wish, ' I grew up to, it being not only one of my favorite songs, but also one song that described me perfectly, especially aout the part about Sunday School. I also loved the second song, ' Contusion, ' a delightful and ripping romp. Greg is a mightily awesome player whose musical influences are as versatile and deep as his muiscal talents.
that excerpt from Hyperacuity album till the 6th min. is killer!!!! love that album! and Dale Fischer on the bass plays unimaginably well!!! by the way this impro is excellent!!
haha actually he suggested to other viewers of this youtubepage to listen to Greg Howe with Victor Wooten. His comment received negative feedback because he was talking about downloading it, this is killing the music industry and it should be stopped :)
you can learn so much from just listening to this illuminated human being!! how can we guitar players ever thank you enough greg? keep up the brilliant work!!
Agreed at 4:30, sounds a bit like Jeff beck...but then he goes off like Allan Holdsworth or Scott Henderson into amazing fast jazz fusion runs. Killer video!
there's a guitarist who mastered every aspect of guitar playing till absolute perfection!! I don't like anyone better. I saw this live twice and I'm still astonished!!
@jardous Actually it's "Contusion" .. from Stevie's Wonder's classic album Songs in the Key Of Life...And yes also covered by Greg on his Tilt album as well. Great album too..
After 2 years still OFF THE HOOK !!!!
