Notes

Studio recording, 2010s era. Greg Howe is known to use his Kiesel signature guitar and DV Mark Maragold amp for his modern instrumental fusion work. The Carl Martin Lick Box is his signature overdrive/distortion pedal, confirmed for this era and style. Settings are from Guitar World, which references his typical studio setup.

Difficulty

The riff section of 'Tempest Pulse' requires advanced technical skill, combining fast alternate picking, legato, and hybrid picking with complex rhythmic phrasing and precise muting, making it highly challenging even for experienced players.
