I love fusion. I think a good place to start would be some of Jeff Beck's fusion albums, particularly Blow By Blow or Wired - both are very melodic. After...
My pick for best introduction to Allan Holdsworth, if you want to go beyond his covers of standards (which are fine in and of themselves) and get a fuller...

Pigeonholing musical styles can be difficult. Swing - accent on the 1 and 3 - Benny Goodman Jazz - "Blue Rondo A La Turk - Brubeck" "Gloria's Step" - Scott...
His approach sounds to me like a more complex form of modal harmony. As you said, the tonal centers shift more often than does the simpler "So What" type of...
A good friend on this list introduced me recently to Mr. Holdsworth, and I must say that he has elements of fusion to him no doubt, but the guy reminds me of...
Allan has always sounded like Allan. Many years back when working I was living in London, UK, I was introduced to Allan by a fellow musician. I was doing...
Hi sonomatips, Some observations that I've made by watching Allan Holdsworth perform: a) He doesn't stay in any one position on the fretboard for very long....
