The Guitarist's Guitarist

"The two best electric guitarists are Jeff Beck and Allan Holdsworth." - Steve Vai

"I had to take my hat off to him." - Yngwie Malmsteen

"He's the best in my book." - Edward Van Halen

"He's the most interesting guitarist in the universe" - Frank Zappa

Allan Holdsworth is widely regarded by fans and contemporary musicians as one of the 20th century's most prominent guitarists. Heralded as a guitar visionary, Allan Holdsworth has reshaped, reconfigured and rewritten the parameters of music with his groundbreaking six-string work. His mind-blowing technique combined with his distinctive tone and boundless creative imagination has helped garner Holdsworth considerable notice as the consummate musician.

The impeccable rhythm section of bassist Jimmy Johnson and drummer Chad Wackerman further bolster Holdsworth's spectacular guitar stylings. "I've played with Chad Wackerman for many years. Frank Zappa recommended that I audition Chad. I love playing with Chad, he's great. The thing that I look for in all of the musicians that I've worked with is they all have a really unique personality. They don't sound like anyone else. You recognize Chad's playing right away, same thing for Jimmy Johnson. Jimmy's like the biggest anchor you can ever imagine."

Universally revered for his landmark work in The Soft Machine, UK, Tempest, and as a solo artist, Allan Holdsworth is a guitarist's guitarist, eschewing stardom in favor of pure unfettered creative expression and fearless instrumental exploration. Since first coming to global prominence, Holdsworth has reinvented how many perceive the art of guitar playing. Bestowed with every imaginable accolade and honor including induction into the Guitar Player Hall Of Fame, Allan Holdsworth continues to dazzle his loyal followers, thriving and surviving on the challenge of continued musical growth and evolution. "I always strive to be a better guitar player. I'm never satisfied with my playing. Never. I think the guy who is satisfied is falling real short. I don't think you can ever get there. You've gotta just keep moving forward."
