Timeline

1961

The Protocol 4 album was nominated for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album at the 61st Grammy Awards.

1963

Gregory Howe (born December 8, 1963) is an American guitarist and composer.

An active musician across four decades, he has released ten studio albums in addition to collaborating with a wide variety of artists.

1980

After leaving high school and playing the club circuit around the New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania areas with his brother Albert Howe (a singer) for most of the 1980s, Greg Howe officially began his solo career after sending a demo tape to Shrapnel Records in 1987, upon which he was immediately signed by founder Mike Varney.

1988

His self-titled debut album, Greg Howe, was released in 1988 during the popular shred era, and went on to become his highest-selling album; a 2009 article in Guitar World magazine ranked it tenth in the all-time top ten list of shred albums.

The following year, he joined with Albert to form a Van Halen-inspired hard rock group named Howe II.

1989

Through Shrapnel, they released two studio albums: High Gear (1989) and Now Hear This (1991).

1993

His second solo album, Introspection, was released in 1993.

At this point his style had changed radically from the straightforward instrumental rock of both his debut and the Howe II albums, to a more jazz fusion-laden approach which remains unique and identifiable to this day; some of his signature traits being fast left-hand legato passages (having been influenced greatly by jazz fusion guitarist Allan Holdsworth), and the frequent use of tapping and odd time signatures.

One particularly noteworthy aspect of Howe's legato technique is the "hammer-on from nowhere", in which a note is hammered-on to a different string without first being picked.

1994

A trio of albums spanning the middle part of the decade – Uncertain Terms (1994), Parallax (1995) and Five (1996) – were all a consistent evolution of the sound he had adopted on Introspection.

1995

During this time he collaborated twice with guitarist Richie Kotzen for the albums Tilt and Project in 1995 and 1997, respectively.

1996

In 1996, he replaced Jennifer Batten as primary guitarist during the Asian and European legs of singer Michael Jackson's HIStory World Tour.

1997

Howe has since spoken of his dissatisfaction for that project, as well as an earlier collaboration on Kuprij's own album, High Definition (1997).

1999

He then briefly dabbled with a heavier, neo-classical metal style for his 1999 release, Ascend, which featured keyboardist Vitalij Kuprij.

2000

After switching labels to Shrapnel's jazz-oriented counterpart, Tone Center Records, he returned to his familiar style with Hyperacuity (2000), which still stands as some of his most prominent experimentation with jazz fusion.

He would later provide guitar duties for singer Enrique Iglesias in 2000, which culminated in a series of high-profile televised performances and a European tour.

The following two years saw Howe recruited as lead guitarist for boy band 'N Sync during two tours of the United States.

2003

After a highly troubled recording process for Extraction (2003) – a collaboration with drummer Dennis Chambers and bassist Victor Wooten – he took an extended hiatus from recording solo material until the release of his eighth studio album, Sound Proof, in 2008.

After singer Justin Timberlake left 'N Sync, Howe continued to tour with him in 2003.

2006

Currently residing in Las Vegas, Nevada (having previously lived in Easton, Pennsylvania until around 2006), Howe continues to work as a session musician and producer, as well as providing online guitar lessons through his official website.

2009

Eight years later, Howe teamed up again with Timberlake, as well as rapper T.I., for a performance at the 2009 Grammy Awards.

In the same year, Howe played as part of keyboardist/violinist Eddie Jobson's Ultimate Zero Project, in a line-up which included bassists Tony Levin and John Wetton, and drummers Marco Minnemann and Simon Phillips.

2010

From 2010 onwards he has toured Europe for the first time, having long stated a desire to tour the continent as a solo artist.

During his solo career, Howe has continuously made himself available as a session musician for many of the world's biggest pop stars.

Most recently he has played with artists such as Christina Aguilera, Rihanna, Lady Antebellum, P Diddy, T-Pain and Salt-n-Pepa.

2011

In 2011, Howe toured Vladivostok, Italy and Israel with drummer Dennis Chambers and bassist Stu Hamm.

In November of that year, Michael Jackson's second posthumous album, Immortal, featured Howe's playing on "Dancing Machine" and "Beat It".

2012

In 2012 it was announced that Howe would play in a new band named Maragold, which would include drummer Gianluca Palmieri (who previously played on Sound Proof), bassist Kevin Vecchione (from Five), and singer Meghan Krauss.

A promotional video was uploaded to YouTube on October 6, 2012, and the band's self-titled album was released on April 23, 2013.

They would also release three official music videos via YouTube.

2015

In a 2015 article by Guitar World, Howe was ranked tenth in the "Top 10 Pick Squealers of All Time".

2016

In a 2016 interview, Howe said that the band was no longer active.

2017

It would be another nine years until Howe's next solo release, Wheelhouse, in 2017, which has been described as his "most personal work to date" and marks his return to solo instrumental work.

For one track of the album, "Shady Lane", Richie Kotzen provided vocals.

In 2017 Howe joined the band Protocol, featuring Simon Phillips on drums, Ernest Tibbs on bass, and Otmaro Ruiz on keyboard.

As of 2017, Howe is endorsed by DV Mark amplification, who released a 'Maragold' signature amplifier in 2014.

He is also endorsed by DiMarzio, D'Addario and Floyd Rose.

His effects pedals include Carl Martin, Pigtronix and T-Rex.

2019

In December 2019, Guitar World ranked Howe's "Wheelhouse" album #6 in "The 20 best guitar albums of the decade".
