Rodrigo Alves lol no doubt this shit is magical

Rodrigo Alves lol you aren't alone

mine is weekly lol

Daily loool

Rodrigo Alves hourly

but, naaaaah taint, mate.

yea

That technique has been used by blues and jazz players for decades.

That's fine, but I was talking about rock/fusion players.

Stefan Bulatovic ggg

Dave Fuze Fiuczynski uses it but I dont know who did it first...

+ohad levy Me too!!!

+ohad levy Yep, most likely a bunch of Sid Vicious die hards

Noticed that too! What a classic!

Haha that slipped past me! Awesome!

I always come back to this vid!

Riffstation Me too

+Riffstation You and me both...that dude can PLAY

Sup sam!

+Riffstation +1 here!! Hehe

+detroitrockcity22 It's funny, that's the one thing I dislike about his playing.

You'll grow into it. It's sick.

yes, but how does he do it? i always burn my tips and than just ignore that part :)

Do you mean the glissando?

*Fake vibrato

absoulutley

Yes indeed Pat is another virtuoso.

Jimmy Landa lol

im SO mad I know what you're talking about hahahahahahahahaha

Stefan Elowson I've been thinking that way since 1988.....I think I have a problem with my brain AND fingers!!

Yer sir! With John Scofeid (guitar), Joey Defranceso (Hammond and Bass - yes, at the same time, like Ray Manzerek on steroids:)) and Byron Landham (drums). Awesome version. But I also love Greg's approach. You know, there is an awesome guitar virtuoso by the name of Guthrie Govan who, I believe, and please correct me if I'm wrong, was inspired by Greg's technique. Check him out. Nonetheless, I love this version and thanks to the person that posted this.... a belated thanks at that:)

Saki Kaskas oh yeah this is serious too. That video is amazing. Guthrie is amazing also. His technique is insane

+Renan Beltrão hey ren, there's a guitar transcription which also includes the tab form as well from hal publishing. try ya luck there!

He is using modal scales (different modes of Ionian scale).

Yes, you can always kind of point what scale he is using per chord. But I suggest to try thinking and playing in smaller chunks of information (ie: intervals, triads, quatriads), instead of scales. For example during a G7, you might play something based on G major triad plus a b9: if you go the scale route you will see this might come from many scales: altered, diminished, phrygian dominant, etc. Interesting, but confusing and not practical for playing in real time! There are no really shortcuts for fussion and jazz, but thinking in smaller units instead of 7-8 note scales (usually spanned for two and a half octaves) is much more easy to grasp, especially if you just started learning fussion/jazz.

Renan Beltrão it's all A minor pentatonic

someone plz correct me if I'm wrong : I think he uses also notes from the chromatic scale in his soloing (like guthrie govan or more precisely guthrie who does it the greg howe way)

+Darrin Connor lol so strange that makes you laugh

+Darrin Connor dislikes are people that are jealous and also disappointed in themselves that they cant practice or play guitar at this level. All I can say to them all is suck it ha.

Then how would they come across a Greg Howe video? Its jealousy because they are probably mediocre and shit themselves

+Darrin Connor tone deaf people

Probably disliked by people who don't understand Jazz. Jazz is not for everyone...

Wow!! Why do you say that? I actually try hard not to compare them

lmfao he's not even close. Alex Hutchings over this guy too.

I found his playing less boring compared to those two.

He's actually one of guthrie's influences, not sure if he's better than guthrie though...you definitely hear a lot of howe's style of shred in guthrie's lines...but guthrie is a machine, he was manufactured in a HYDRA lab

greg is more interesting and creative in his playing, his phrasing is a milestone. govan has some serious chops though, but is clearly influecend from howe in his lead playing. greg had his style 25 years before guthries first release. hutchings can fuck off, no contest.
