"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."

None better.

"It infuriates me to hear or read some nimrod's review that any particular guitarist is no good or that some other guitarist is better. Guitarists are artists. If you don't appreciate them, do something else. No one is better than Greg Howe. Likewise, no one is better than Vai, or Johnson, or Satch, or Aldo, or ...
I love listening to Greg Howe (and the others too)."

One of Greg Howe's best!

"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!"
