Unlock Greg Howe's Slippery Guitar Phrasing Secrets With These Tabs!

One feature of his style I can see (and hear) that is still in place is his use of barring. Greg obviously knows how to sweep-pick and uses the technique, but I like how he usually prefers to play two notes at the same fret on two adjacent strings. Both notes are fretted with the same finger. Definitely helps to create a more angular and less predictable sound than straight-up-and-down arpeggios Much like Michael Lee Firkins (can we have a transcription, pretty please!) and Ritchie Kotzen, Greg quickly abandoned the neo-classicalisms and ploughed his own unique furrow!

Awesome. Going to see him in Manchester later this year 👌.

Greg Howe is 5'11 I'm 6'0, met him and chatted with him in NYC on many occasions. Richie Kotzen is just about the same height. Frank Gamble is 5'4. Paul Gilbert is 6'4, Malmsteen 6'1 he wears heeled boots, so he looks 6'3.

Such an interesting style. Whenever I see him play it makes my hand hurt. His thumb almost goes down across the whole fretboard like he's going to snap the neck. Such a great player and nice guy.

nice

Tab some Bryan Aspey please.

I love how Greg looks like he is about to snap his guitar neck in half with one hand. He must be fairly tall.

Greg never went the neoclassical route, he was paid to do Ascend in Japan, but he told me he would have never done that on his own. He doesn't care for that album. I love maniacal, he changed the subject completely. 🤷

Howe did you transcribe this?
