you have very good control and feel. I like the phrasing too, not just wanking - like alot of these vids. Im guessing you're about 20-25 years into playing?
This is great! May I ask how you started practicing technically? I've played for years and I'm good with theory, chords, arrangement and composition. But I suck at playing faster then the jump solo. And it isn't really tight. May I ask what you did? Thanks :) Oh, and your version of Glasgow Kiss is just the best out there. I love it. Fusion on!
@soundiscomforting important to use a metronome, sounds dicky, and you must always tap your foot ALWAYS even when you are not playing, speed is all right hand, dont be fooled. Get your right hand good, then the left will follow. Wish i was better on the theory side
One question: If i had a swamp ash body guitar with a maple neck and f-board and threw in a couple of dimarzio Breed humbuckers in there...would I get Greg howe's tone or atleast close to it?
Excellent! excellent! biuntiful links!! Hello Starlin, i am Brazilian guitarist and I would like to know if you can provide some backing traks from Greg Howe.??
sounds really great man! i think styllistically it fits perfect! the phrasing is very greghowey! lol but still is great! the tapping section fits really well in my opinion. Most of the people that pick on people that have a good technique is because the cant even play like that way, and btw you clearly showed that you are not all about technique like the up and coming petrucci imitators that only focus in technique!
great Rick, I love all your videos, its so cool at like 40s when you come back to a previous idea. Do you know where I can get this backing track or could you possible send it to me?
omg, Best fusion improv ive heard in my life. I doubt you are improvising on the spot. If you are, you are god like. I think its improvised previously then changed a bit later on then rehearsed.
great tone, control and technique.
