You can definitely hear the influence on how Shawn Lane played.
A lovely lick, but is it worse than Frakctured?
I mean if you can play 98% of allan holdsworth i think youre doing alright
Enrico Pinna does a nice — but very production-oriented — breakdown of this tune
EVH…Allan…Yep.
You really underestimate yourself on the guitar. Especially considering you would dedicate time to the many other instruments you play. Crazy lick. The way Alan plays it with his tone is perfect. Different strings sing differently.
Listen to Jan Akkerman on the Focus Album Hamburger concerto.
On that song 10.20 on the solo begins with an Everest Lick at 12.34
Please feature this giant of guitar
Rick (everyone), check out the 2022 release of The 19 Men of Tain. Yes, 19. What a fabulous and richly deserving tribute to A.H.
Then it gets to the hard part ????
Pretty sure that's on Wardenclife Tower, not Secrets.
Beato, can you go through an analysis of Eric Dolphy’s solos just like this one?
legendary vid rick, very humble, love that you pay homage to the greats ie holdsworth your fave guitarists fave guitarist
One things that helps with Alllans playing is he had EXTREMELY low action. Like you wouldn’t even think it was possible. I can’t find the interview but he’s talking to someone about it and the guy was like “oh my god you don’t even need to pick”
Is the D supposed to be 3 note per string like the others?
"then he gets to the hard part" … ~laughs evilly~
1:31 I can do this chord but takes a while to get it. Insane.
The fact that Rick can figure out that lick is impressive aswell
Guitar Allah
WELL EXPLAINED AND DONE….WITH SOME PRACTICE YOU WILL FIT THE BILL TO REPRODUCE IT. REALLY HARD WORK TO PERFORM – BUT FAR MORE DIFFICULT IS TO GET THE IDEA TO CONSTRUCT LICKS LIKE THESE.
Allan was-is my biggest musical hero, maybe i have said this before, but when it comes to mr. Holdsworth there is nothing positive that can be too much, could you maybe do another video like this on the record "Blues for Tony" ?
Alan Holdsworth is the Keyser Soze of guitar players.
I shook Allan's hand at a show in the late 80's. He has big hands for those incredible string stretches.
RIP Allan. ????
Rick, when you start playing your lines at 7:59 i just want to die ! It's so wonderful, it's just like you enter a whole new universe ! i've heard it 50 times over and over again….
I still have that copy of guitar player
Nothing to stop you from getting inspired by it even if you can't play it…
Time to go practice on a short scale guitar now.
Thank you for bringing some well deserved light to Alan. The most impressionable music I have ever heard live was July 1978 in Chicago, 'Sorry about the weather, it's nearly as bad as in England, concert. It was a recorded King Biscuit flower hour performance, WXRT sponsored production, started with 'The only thing she needs'. I had never heard anything like that. A more gritty Chick Corea sound with this overwhelming Alan Holdsworth guitar…. That performance has been so impactful and the ruler I measure all progressive rock against. I'm 67 years old and this concert continues to get better every time I listen to it. Thank you for highlighting this great guitarist.
Oh yeah! Vintage Beato… more Holdsworth and Metheny please….
Some of his best work was with Tony Williams Lifetime ! Before U.K.
Thank you for the effort and humbleness.
You are a true gentleman.
What effect you use for this sustain? Great
Definitely the Mount Everest … Atavachron lick must be the " Wild Roller Coaster Ride" lick… ????????
what are you using to hold those chords to do a run over it ?
Wouldn't really call that a lick, far too distinctive
Late to the thread. This video is great!
I saw him once in 1986 in Chicago. He played mostly on his SynthAxe. I think it is truly Impossible to describe his music adequately with words. I don’t think anyone living really understands what he was playing, but we all enjoyed it nonetheless. THAT is the true mark of his greatness.
5 minutes into the video and I´m already dizzy and want to quit, just from watching with my hands away from the guitar.
Fabulous video
I once wrote:" I saw Allan Holdsworth the first time with Soft Machine´s program "Bundles" in 1975. When he started his first solo, he knocked me out of my socks, and my feet have never again found their way back in".
Or cheat and tap those are to reach notes ????????????????
I've been trying to learn spanish fly by VH. The stretches in it are not nice either.
Anybody know what finish on that carvin is?
4:25 "The it gets to the hard part." Classic.
I'm from Leeds, the city Allan was from too. So proud to be from the same city he was born in. Saw him live a few times. Amazes me that two of the most amazing players of all time are from my county – Yorkshire. That would be Allan Holdsworth and John McLaughlin. Saw McLaughlin live at The Irish Centre in Leeds in the late 80's two years running. The first year, Jeff Berlin on bass…the following year Kai Eckhardt on bass. We were so spoiled!! Scofield with Dennis Chambers and Gary Grainger also played in Leeds the same two summers. It was awesome!! Saw Allan at The Jazz Cafe in London once and he signed my Road Games vinyl. He told me he didn't have his own copy. Deleted. Shame.
Finally understand Alan H’s music. He produced his unique ‘scale’ charts – all notes in the scale equal, all notes valid. (Watch the video). He then ‘Improvised’ within those myriad notes on the fret board. – just ensuring he stayed in his scales.
He tried not to play the same thing twice if he could help it.
That’s it. Nothing more (I have everything CD he released BTW)
Watch the video with Dweezel Zappa, where Alan sounds awful, and why does he sound awful? – all notes are valid within whatever one of his scales he was playing in. Nothing more.
Massive hands enabled him to bend and stretch within his ‘scale’ of course – but it’s musac just the same! x
Watching this from the country of Mount Everest ….. jay Nepal, jai Allan
i love how i can really tell that you are actually just now TRYING to learn it! the excitement when u get it!! good job:) most couldn't play it at all
Thank you, Rick. You’ve long been a champion for Alan- I really wish more people had known just how good he was while he was alive. He was unique, and really deserved any and all Acclaim
Thinking of Rolling Stones awful top 250 guitarists list.. no Holdsworth..????????????????… Only Jeff Beck and Pat Metheny could replicate the technical musicality phrasing genius of Allan… Nobody else… Not McLaughlin Hendrix EVH… Nobody
The fingering in contrast between the 2 styles directly correlates to the effect on the listener. No one is playing wrong notes here, but one effect is more gentle than the other. It would totally depend on the song which note choice is better. But props to Beato for tackling a Holdsworth line and breaking down his thinking to the listener
