GREG HOWE'S NEW ALBUM "SOUND PROOF"

hmstrat — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 21:03:00 GMT

I haven't really posted much here, so I hope I'm posting this in the right section, but just wanted to say that I got the new Greg Howe CD and it's already one of my favorites. It's so versatile and I think that both Rockers and Jazz nuts will love this CD.

Here's a post I found on Blabbermouth:

On June 24, Greg Howe will release his latest studio album, "Sound Proof", through Tone Center Records. "Sound Proof" holds a raw energy element as well as a more of a spontaneous quality to it. Keeping the music organic, a lot of the material was assembled, and in some cases written, in the studio. "The guitar tone is definitely more edgy and organic sounding on this record," states Howe. "It's not quite as polite and compressed, but at the same time the overall sonic production is by far the best yet. It's a very modern production."

Wanting to connect the music with the masses, Howe's main focus for this record was to convey something that's relatable through the abstract language called music. "This time I really wanted to expand upon methods by experimenting more with sounds and tones as opposed to focusing primarily on intense composition and technique," explains Howe. "Of course there's still plenty of that to go around on this CD, but it's delivered in a more relaxed manner... this album is fun sounding... less urgent."

Howe was a leader in the shredding scene of the '90s before becoming one of the top fusion/jazz guitarists in the world and has influenced some of the most talented players on the scene today. His first record was critically acclaimed by the guitar cognoscenti and voted by readers of Guitar Player magazine as one of the best two records of that year. Howe's solo albums have always been laden with musical integrity and have gained a significantly growing audience as the name Greg Howe has become synonymous with modern musical virtuosity.

Howe continues to prove that he truly is one of rock n' rolls most amazing and versatile guitarists. Being an enormously gifted player, Howe combines elements of rock, blues and Latin music with jazz influences resulting in a stylized fusion sound. This record's focus is Howe's highly technical, yet very melodic, guitar style that has established him as one of the most innovative guitar instrumentalists of our time and a true guitarist's guitarist. On "Sound Proof", Howe has assembled a hot band that has gelled together to create a freshly unified sound. This record is a veritable smorgasbord of hot chops as each player never fails to impress on these awesome rock/fusion/jazz compositions.

Shredding?

glorifiedg — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 01:34:04 GMT

Ok, so I was listening to guys like Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen and IMHO, it sucks!!!

Am I the only one that can't stand this. It has no emotion, no soul, no heart. It's friggin noise. The bands behind them especially suck. I don't care how fast your hand and fingers move, or how hard it might be to play the way you do. In my book, you gotta have soul first. The brain can't connect emotion to the hands at 64th note speed. In fact, when they play slowly, they still have no soul. SRV is the only guy I know of who can play fast with soul, and he doesn't "shred" I've listened to all the famous ones and none of them do it for me. End rant.

Blues Guitarist Fans?

seansdadj — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 16:53:53 GMT

I've been looking for some great footage of the Ice Man (Albert Collins) lately. Just wanted to share this clip with you all:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvtI0nGSVoQ

It's a clip from an upcoming DVD from Fontana documenting Collins performing at the Montreux in '92, just one year before he passed away.

I've been a huge fan of his since... Canned Heat. I was always amazed at how well he played with his fingers.

Anyhow, I believe the DVD will be out on March 8th (which is in a couple of days!)

Anyone here big fans of him as well? If so, planning to get the DVD?

Morgan Freeman vs. Amy Winehouse

Dulcimerist — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 03:02:02 GMT

Hey Everyone!

There's a recent song out there that reminds me way too much of an old song that Morgan Freeman sang on the old kids' television program "The Electric Company." Has anyone else noticed this? Although I mentioned this in the Drum forums, I found better videos to compare the two songs:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=vKGPhohB3pM

http://youtube.com/watch?v=RKVbgkfFygY

I actually started both videos simultaneously, and the songs pretty much synced up. It's insane!

Led Zeppelin Is Back!

Led Zep mania is back! After the concert at O2 arena I think they are going to tour. I hope so! It will be my only chance to see them before one of them croaks!

Jason Bonham is a good drummer, but he's only got half the power of his dad however.

"OLD TRACTOR" on YouTube

DennisD — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 10:24:18 GMT

I posted a link to my song "Old Tractor" on several Tractor discussion boards last year.

I was pleasantly surprised that one of the tractor buffs used the song as background to a display of old iron photos on YouTube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J58Gy2xGF8I

The audio quality on YouTube is not that great but it's fun to see it used this way. Another use of the song in an actual video production is in the works with a possible cable TV broadcast. I'll alert the Guitar Talk Board when broadcast is imminent.

I'm not generally in touch with the acoustic scene, but last year went to the Lewes Guitar Festival (UK) & saw some great artistes including Kate Walsh and Richard Thompson, to name but two - superb live solo performers. Any others I should be looking out for?

Microphoning Bees

Dulcimerist — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 12:54:36 GMT

Take Me Back to Ketchikan

DennisD — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 12:00:27 GMT

This song, from my recent CD "Single Malt", tells the true story of the adventures of Joe Swain. Joe was a Territorial Policeman in Alaska in the Fifties back before it was a state. He was also my father-in-law. We were fishing buddies and I got to know him on those long drives up to the fishing hole in the Mt. Hood National Forest. He used to regale me with yarns about his days in Anchorage, Fairbanks and especially Ketchikan. To his dying day, he spoke wistfully about the best times of his life and the cruel turn of events that cut short his Alaska Police career.

You can hear the song here:

It's on iTunes and on CD Baby

R.I.P. Joe Zawinul

Billy Shears — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 13:14:33 GMT

Member and founder of the 70's fusion band Weather Report has died today at age 75. The band at it's high point consisted of, Joe Zawinul {Keys, Synths, Piano}, Peter Erskine {Drums} , Wayne Shorter {SAX}, and The Late Great Jaco Pastorius{Fretless Bass}.

Known as the Fearsome Foursome, they stormed the 70's scene with a new sound, Rock and Jazz combined and sprouted many spinoff groups such as Return to Forever {Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Lenny White, Al DiMeola, Flora Purim.}, John McLauglins Mahvishnu Band, and others.

Zawinul, a musical monster was a virtuoso on his instrument dominated the style and was one of the firsts to utilize the polyphonic sounds into music. Now two members of this awesome jazz group are gone. I have to go listen to 8:30 now in his memory. God Bless and R.I.P. Joe Zawinul. :crying:

To All Players!
