That must have taken FOREVER to learn. Max did you use a tab or did you transcribe by ear? Pretty killer job dude.

Those shorts are killing me. I pretty sure I lost at least a few years from my life looking at your legs. Please, for the sake of decency and goodness, wear pants, ALWAYS.

Great dexterity man! Only one thing I might add, if I may:
1. To be creative is to be innovative (don't let imitation stifle your imagination)
2. Three tools of artistry:
a. freedom of rhythm—accel. & retard. according to good taste
b. freedom of dynamics—non-chord tones should be emphasized so their resolution gives deliverance from the tension
c. freedom of articulation—blend legato and staccato to provide a playfulness.
I raise these issues because lasting music is found in the Masters.

Amazing playing, bub. But now that you've announced your awesome chops, why don't you play something that has some melody? Really, Holdsworth always sounds like he's practicing. Always...

@beeroosterm I would argue he has a better melodic sense than almost any guitar player I can think of. Personally I don't listen to him for the "wow" factor of what he's doing but because he really moves me as both a composer and an improvisor. The technicality is only a byproduct of him trying to emulate what's in his head. If you don't like it or understand it there's nothing wrong with that, but if I could only listen to one artist for the rest of my life there's a good chance he'd be it.
