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
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
thing for Jimmy Johnson. Jimmy's like the biggest anchor you can ever
imagine."
Universally revered for his landmark work in The Soft Machine,
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."
