This review is from: Introspection (Audio CD)

like the guys who wrote review here,i am big fun of howe.i have got all the cd's,and i can say they are the best guitar teacher i had.every song of howe i learn to play is like ten years of standart progression.i dont feel that he is the best guitar player alive,but he is the one that does it to me.i listen to holdsworth,henderson,ron thal,kotzen,gamble and i cant feel the thrill i have when i listening to gregs work.i also feel that he is in diferent leage than vai and satriani.this album is must for every guitar player.my best in this album is track 1 and the amazing fusion of track 6.if you like to know how to play them,send me to my e-mail and i give you my hand made tabs for them.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Greg Howe's best!, September 20, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Introspection (Audio CD)

Like most of Greg Howe's albums, 'Introspection' again provides a glimpse into the "near impossible" of what is capable on a guitar. Greg's effortless virtuosity combines impeccable technique with uniquely tapped pentatonics, tasteful hyper-speed blues licks, and a wonderful sense of melody and rhythm. While most of the tunes on the album lean toward heavy blues laden fusion and straight "shred", Greg manages to mix things up a bit with a nice nylon-string piece dedicated to Jason Becker. Nevertheless, it is Greg's soaring lead playing that keeps you coming back for more. And you will want to listen a few times, if only to confirm that it was in fact a human that played so magnificently. A must-have for any fan of guitar music!

4.0 out of 5 stars Another winner from Greg, March 29, 2006

This review is from: Introspection (Audio CD)

This recording is definately worth having in the collection. Great guitar playing and smooth tone with lots of cool hook tunes and superb solos. I can listen to this disc all the way through. The only downer for me would be the fact that his drummer is playing an electronic drumkit and the drum tone is awful. The drumming itself is decent but not what you would expect from an album of this caliber. Even with that, Gregs playing shines above and beyond any other faults you may find in this recording. Get it and enjoy.
