favourite guitarist
Can't help bit jump in- Allan holdsworth & I'm in great company cause the following guitarist say so:
Steve Vai --"The two best guitarist are Jeff Beck and Allan Holdsworth."
Yngwei Malmsteen--"I had to take my hat off to him"
Eddie Van Halen---"He's the best in my book, He's so damn good I can't cop anything! I can't understand what he's doing.I've got to do this (does two handed thing) whereas he'll do it with one hand."
Frank Zappa---" He's the most interesting guitarist in the world"
Joe Satriani November 2004---"Allan Holdsworth changed the way people play the electric guitar,both musically and physically,He is a true genius."
Pat Metheny---"I totally agree that allan is one of the greatest guitarist ever.His work on the mid-70's Tony Williams records was revolutionary and changed everything for guitarists everywhere.It is a real mystery to me why he is not a household name,but it does'nt matter---his contribution is large and I think all musicians know it."
John Mclaughlin August 2004---"I've known Allan Holdsworth and his music for 30 years now and after all this time,he still amazes me.His concept is still advancing with his playing,and his technical prowess,which is phenomenal,is in complete harmony with his musical direction.And this is a very advanced direction---.I recall a show I saw him at in London about 14 years ago,and after the concert I said to him,"If I knew what you were doing,I'd steal everything,but I don't know what you're doing!" Allan laughed.
And the list goes on--from Scott Henderson,Gary Moore ,Neal Schon---
