Greg Howe (born December 8, 1963) is an American guitarist, originally from Easton, Pennsylvania. He started his career as a shredder on Mike Varney's Shrapnel Records label in the 1980s, and emerged alongside other "shred" players such as: Marty Friedman, Jason Becker, Paul Gilbert, Richie Kotzen, Tony MacAlpine and Vinnie Moore among others.

However, Howe soon developed a more distinct style that was more rooted in jazz fusion than the neoclassical leanings of his contemporaries. This unique fusion of styles has become his trademark and easily distinguishes him from any other player working today. His style borrows heavily from the jazz sensibilities of Allan Holdsworth, but also mixes in a bluesy, groove-laden vibe and frequent use of odd time signatures.

Howe is perhaps best known for his great skill at improvising, although his natural-sounding guitar tone could be considered most distinctive of him.

Apart from his solo career, Howe has established himself as a highly sought after session musician, being hired by mainstream acts such as Michael Jackson, Enrique Iglesias, *NSYNC and Justin Timberlake to perform with them on tour.

Greg Howe currently resides in Southern California and endorses Suhr guitars and, more recently, Parkwood acoustic guitars. He is also a producer and guitar instructor.
