who have commented on this post might have not even conducted half the number of clinics that he has conducted all these years!!!! this guy is a goddamn humble person and he was just being modest telling ppl around that he does not know music.... actually he is one of the few ppl who have been acclaimed as ppl who made a mark in music by allan holdsworth himself...... so you can speak low of this guy if you really have that title in..........
Another thing for the guys who dont know about Floyd ( the best fucking guitar player in Asia Pacific ) is that he is Equally good at playing Piano - Drums - Sax and almost anything else !!! He is a true Genius...some may think i'm crazy but when it comes to Blues and Jazz this guys Eats Satriani and Steve Vai !! they dont stand a fucking chance if you dont believe me you can come to India - Mumbai - Goregaon Bhargavas on a Sunday afternoon
hahahahah @jcfalios bro it is a practice on the same set of ideas but you know whats really funny its your comment on Ron Carter ahahahahahahahahahahahaha man thats fucking dumb.The 'walking bass' needs improvement? get outa here man! Its the Jamie Aebersold series of backing tracks.Will tell Ron about your advice.
apart from wicked, diabolic fretwork, this guy has a wicked and deadly sense of humour, god save those whom he picks to shred in any given day.. floyd.. let it fly man.. let it fly
It's not. He obviously has plenty of theory behind him. Just because you didn't learn it from school or books doesn't mean you don't know it. Sorry Laurie, but your claim that he knows very little music theory can't possibly be correct. I've heard someone claim Holdsworth doesn't know theory simply because he doesn't read notation, but harmony, melody meter, etc function regardless whether you read notation or not. This guy knows intervals, scales, harmony, rhythm, etc, to the bone.

Lauriemonk, you say Floyd is not professional ...meaning he's not making any money out of his playing, right?
The guy is a genius ....
I've never seen something like that.
Came here after seeing how he plays Scott's style, but with with this Holdsworth stuff he totally shocked me.
The guy is really a genius..

is it me or he has weird finger movement?
verry nice player anyway, flawless technique, but i think he should be a little more original, he's tone and style are to holdsworth-esque

wow, i didn't think it was possible to do anything like this without musical theory.

True improvisation is mostly based on instinct and that is being in tune with the moment .
As Soon as you start thinking rationally YOU KILL IT!
Musical theory can be very helpful (if you use it instinctively )

@Gregorypeckory
It is correct, he can't possibly know music theory.
If you use your ears, you'd notice he's not playing over the changes.
His technique is good but he has no idea what he's doing.
