I'm a HUGE Pat Metheny Fan but remember reading the name Allan Holdsworth on the Jean Luc Ponty CD's I used to listen to back in the day. Never really got into his solo stuff but am enjoying it. RIP Master Musician
Imagine how much better jazz would be if each musician in the band actually followed each other. Impressive abilities here, but it sounds like walking into a music store with 3 different songs going.
@@bazonics You don't know what you're talking about. It's completely MIDI(Yes, it did existed back then) and doesn't have sound on it's own. Check some videos on youtube documenting it if you don't believe me
@@Oberheim.OB-XA Talvez ele quis dizer sobre mercado pois Van Halen batalhou pelo Allan, fez a Warner contratá-lo para um disco etc...Eddie foi muito humilde e legal pois no auge de seu nome, todos falando dele, ele só falava no Allan e assim, muitos foram comprar os discos dele. Musicalmente é claro que não, Allan foi uma inspiração para Eddie.

It's disgusting that Rolling Stone magazine didn't include him on 'The 250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time '. Thanks for sharing ☮️
Yes, but can anyone take RSM lists with any seriousness? That list was absurd to read through.
Rolling Stone is as irrelevant as the R'n'R Hall of Phlegm.
Rolling stone is a bunch of shit, I bet they don't have wes montgomery or joe pass on there either
RS Magazine.....does it tell you something?
RSM has been a joke don’t feel too bad.
The greatest ever. Pioneer, innovator, and visionary on the guitar. A hundred years from now new musicians will be listening to his music in awe.
Totally agree with you. Aloha!
Makes me wanna cry. Seriously. How could one of the greatest musicians who ever lived be so (relatively) unknown?
he used the latest technology to the max, still contemporary after 40 years.
Fucking great comment. Spot on

above your pay grade
Allan may look like a bus driver from a council estate in Liverpool circa 1982 but jeez the dude can certainly jam :)
What an Outstanding player....simply amazing playing.
nice compilation, thanks!
Beautiful
thanks for making this video seriously
no words...VIVA ALLAN'S ART (AND LANDS)
wow. it´s like music from the future
and sounds better than most music in the present
😞
Grande Allan
I would put this on to clear out the people at a house party.
the best to ever do it
Incomparable master !!
5:25 gorgeous bright change
Check it out stoned. It's technically brilliant and amusing. Hard to describe
no
oh yeah. baby-making music.
Why it sounds like each of them are following different metronomes
It's in Jazz time.
Jazz
Way Back!!!!
0:41 insane legato line
whats the first song?
0:41 kooky
👍🏻👍🏻
Synth UI peaked right here
6:36 insane
Do you know if thats an actual song?
@@jcjc5702unfortunately no. Id like to hear it too.
how?

That would be boring. The chaos is fun 😎
So where is the synth axe now
There should be a guitar midi controller with all 15 guage strings on it for ease of playing for arthritis sufferers
More insanity 5:09
dudes playing a lawnmower.
Trouble is it sounds like a £50 Casio keyboard.
it absolutely would if you were the one playing it
@@theresnoway440 haha, got em!
It doesn’t sound like anything at all, it’s a MIDI controller and it only controls whatever synthesizer or sampler you’re using.
@@michaelk3550 Nope. It's self contained
If it was a MIDI controller (did they even exist then?) It would sound a lot better.
@@bazonics You don't know what you're talking about. It's completely MIDI(Yes, it did existed back then) and doesn't have sound on it's own. Check some videos on youtube documenting it if you don't believe me
That thing sounds awful.
Nah
it's meant to solely be a synth instrument, not a guitar
Negative.
It sounds like shit to me..the whole video...😅
How does it sound like shit?
Not only can the man play that thing, he can also drink it at the same time. Alternatively, you could say... He sucks at guitar
Never really liked the instrument.
What awful music.
You like the Smiths. You're not exactly a judge of good music.
Well, you like Allan Holdsworth playing a racket on a SynthAxe......narff
@@Htiler the synthaxe is badass though. Morrissey just cries.
It is not about music
5:08 mental.
If Eddie Van Halen is opening doors for you…❌⭕️❌⭕️
Van Halen foi aluno do ALLAN
