Allan Holdsworth - Tokyo Dream intro (cover)

Me attempting to play the intro of "Tokyo Dream" by Allan Holdsworth. I also play the beginning of the solo, but I haven't learned it properly yet, so excuse the crappyness.

I'm currently trying to learn Holdsworth's "Above And Below", so stay tuned folks!

GREAT!!!!

[SeraphSnake]

@lneme Thank you! :)

[lordsong7]

Very good!!

Excellent

I see you play the Carvin Holdsworth - how do you like it? I can't see whether its the fatboy or the H2

What parameters are you using to get that lead tone?

Thanks - keep up the great work!

[SeraphSnake]

Thanks! It's the Fatboy. The lead tone isn't that good actually, it might sound good in the vid because you can hear Holdsworth's own lead tone in the background. It's just a shitty Line 6 POD XT-patch I made.

ok thanx

but remember that Allan gets his tone no matter what equipment he's using - Yamaha solid states, Hughes & Kettner, Carvins, ...

Is it a certain pedal an EQ or what? I know he uses Magic Stomps - is it something in there?

I've been trying to nail that tone for years and I'm still missing it somewhere! Drives me nuts! haha

Some guys here seem pretty darn close though and I always wonder whats different.

[SeraphSnake]

That's a bold statement, I don't think he'd be able to get his signature tone out of anything. Haha. There's a reason why he sticks with spesific brands of gear.

I don't know how he does it. It might be the Yamaha Magic Stomps, but I don't think so.

But I'm guessing what many tend to forget is that the way he plays is also a important element of that sound. And only Holdsworth can play like Holdsworth. :P

@lordsong7 not sure how much you've experimented, but a lot of his tone comes from mid range stuff, light picking, and a lot of it has to do with the tone/volume on his guitar. generally, i try to turn my tone really low and my volume slightly down.

[PhuckHue2]

by the fingering you can play it but the music is louder than your guitar. you should make a video without the song playing

[SeraphSnake]

An F?! That was weird, haha. Anyway, good luck with this and 'Looking Glass'!
