This reminds me a little bit of Eric Johnson when he's just improvising .

@Steven4466 Sir Allen Holdsworth has a nice ring to it doesn't it? :)

Those are sax lines. Not surprised as he wanted to play a wind instrument but was told to make do with a guitar.

How did we get on the subject of Slash from a Holdsworth video? Sure they are both guitar players, just like Jaco Pastorius and Gene Simmons are both bass players, or your average kindergarten fingerpainter and Van Gogh are both artists. Holdsworth has more in common with Charlie Parker than he does with Slash-the music is what counts, not the instrument.

I think Holdsworths lasting impact will outweigh a lot of other folks...he may not be a household name but a dedicated few will continue to listen to his music long after the current masses listening to "others" have forgotten that the "others" even existed. Prime example : when Charlie Parker died in 1955, Bill Haley was at the top of the charts. Think about that one.

@donbosleymusic

@TruNikkaz why do you need to replicate anything? You can learn the phrasing and vocab of Holdsworth but it will always be him no matter how good an impression you make of a parrot. Everyone has voice and so few want to find it. In the Jazz world you strive to find your own voice. In the rock world you strive to sound like everyone else.

i think the goal of any genre of music is to play music that can't be replicated, there are plenty of guys out there that try to emulate hodlsworth. none come close
