Greg Howe "Oracle" solo

[Chris6870]

This guy never disappoints. Perfect phrasing,technique and note selection all the way through.

Greg is so freakin' good. Wish he'd get more exposure in the guitar mags.

 

[War Admiral]

amazing indeed

 

[PeteLaramee]

He's one of my faves...ever since Introspection.

Maybe Joe B. should get Greg to do a jam, too… that'd be sick!

 

[gbsmusic]

So tasteful!!!

 

[Splinterhead]

He uses technique in really cool, articulate and tasteful ways. My favorite disk of his is Parallax, killer disk.

 

[JohnSykes]

BEAST

 

[Electric I]

Yes indeed.

Howe/Kotzen/MLF are the only ones from their ilk that still resonate.

Thx for posting that.

 

[metalmaniac93]

Amazing talent!!

I'm thinking Joe would get humbled

My favorite disk of his is Parallax, killer disk.

Same here, that disk never got/gets old, just one of the best instrumental guitar showcases ever IMO, and not purely for technical execution, but everything, rawness, improvised feel when he cuts loose, compositions, build ups, restraint at the right moments, etc. Howe is a WAY under appreciated except by us guitar junkies. Shame.

As for him and a JB jam (I don't want to turn this into another "vs" topic like the ZW thread, lets keep it a Howe gush fest lol), although JB is a cool guitarist with great tone, plays everything well (rhythms, soloing, ad-libbing), has a great voice, super live performer, etc, Howe is beyond him harmonically IMO. Everyone mentions his incredible technique but his note selection is S-I-C-K and that is really what separates him from many others IMO.

That's pretty cool! Anyone know what album that's on?

It's from his new bands debut album. "Maragold" is the band. Chick singer who sounds pretty badass.

 

[Armstrong Guitars]

He's one of my faves...ever since Introspection.

Yup, that was the album where he caught my attention too;>)

gah.....why don't I listen to this guy more? He's got chops and speed to burn but uses it so tastefully and notes seem to fit...if that even makes sense. Going to have to find some copies of his stuff. Awesome!

What sold me on Parallax is that ridiculously aggressive bass sound. For me that's the best recorded bass tone ever. Then you have Howe's compositions and playing which of course are top notch. That CD is 5 star cover to cover.

 

[Bob Savage]

That's pretty ridiculous.
