this sucks!
he should have a forum.....at least for sustaining and keeping in touch with his fanbase . |

Yeah, it's a bit hard to understand. Heck, even Guthrie was very open to having a forum dedicated to him although he was extremely flattered and couldn't understand why people would want to talk about him.
I guess Greg is a very low-key and private person and, like Guthrie, is uncomfortable with people raining praises on him. I hope I could change his mind sometime. I agree that he needs to stay in touch with his dedicated fanbase and keep growing it.
You see what I'm doing with Guthrie. It's about spreading the word amongst the crowd who'd enjoy something like that. Greg could do the same. He needs to have a dozen video clips out there. The website could use some sprucing up. I'm going through and thinking, "Why the video clips with Michael Jackson and Enrique Iglesias? Why would we fusion/shred fans into his virtuosic playing be interested in this stuff?" Come on, Greg. Endear yourself to the fans who support you. They're amongst the most dedicated and loyal fans that an artist could ever hope to have. _________________ Ed Yoon

I think it's cool he's got those posted, just as a way of saying "Hey look, I was on national TV!" or something. Sets him apart from lots of other guys, but yeah, he definitely should realize that 99.9% of his fans are going to want to see more clips like that studio jam he's got up. I know I do. _________________ http://www.soundclick.com/bands/9/noiseepidemicmusic.htm |

I agree the pop clips are cool, as long as we have more of the improv type of video clips... _________________ Ed Yoon

Had a long talk with Greg today. The forum is back up and running.
Greg's a really cool and down-to-earth guy for sure. I expect to be working with Greg closely in the future on various things in the same manner I do with Guthrie.
I also mentioned that he should have a forum on this Online network site to get more exposure and he seemed quite agreeable to it. So the greghowelessons.com forum can be more for online lessons stuff that he's working on and there can be a separate one here for more general things and to attract new fans who are into Guthrie, Robben, Scott H, Landau, etc. Sounds like a good plan? _________________ Ed Yoon

ed, the service you're providing for the guitar community is just awesome. compared to guthrie, greg is an established guy who's been around a while, but greg needs a bigger audience as well. he definitely deserves more recognition. greg is a total musical wonder. |
