Post Description

Uncertain Terms is the third studio album by guitarist Greg Howe, released in 1994 on Shrapnel Records.

Howe began his solo career during the 1980s shred era, joining Mike Varney's Shrapnel Records label and releasing his self-titled debut album, Greg Howe, in 1988. An article in Guitar World ranked this album in 2009 as tenth in the all-time top ten list of shred albums.

His next album, Introspection, was released five years later in 1993. At this point, he began to demonstrate a significant stylistic change which remains prevalent to this day; incorporating elements of jazz fusion into his playing, as well as borrowing heavily from the legato-based technique of fellow guitarist Allan Holdsworth, all whilst mixing in a bluesy, groove-laden vibe and the frequent use of odd time signatures.

With the release of altogether five solo albums during the 1990s, he also participated in two collaborations with Richie Kotzen: Tilt and Project, in 1995 and 1997 respectively. At the end of the millennium, he briefly adopted a heavier, neo-classical approach for his 1999 release, Ascend, which featured Ukrainian keyboardist Vitalij Kuprij.
