As a Bassist, I found Allan through Jeff Berlin's album "Champion" which led me to "Road Games" I was instantly converted. I had the pleasure of seeing the band in the mid 1980's at NYC's "Bottom Line" club. Jimmy Johnson on Bass and Alan Pasqua on Keys along with Chad and Allen of course. They knocked me out! The level of musicianship was astonishing. Sounds as fresh as ever. RIP the master, Allan Holdsworth.

@@MeAndTheBoys_ Wrong; Allan's simply the best. That's obvious to those who have good ears and are familiar with a lot of guitar music. People who don't appreciate him simply lack the acuity to judge.
I was fortunate enough to see these amazing musicians live a couple of times in the late 1980s. So glad I did. After the first time, I couldn’t sleep for my mind being blown!
Have you noticed the trend that he is,most of the times, excluded from lists ranking notable jazz musicians. The man created new musical theory. Playing the guitar like it was a wind instrument.
Oh man, I'm SO lucky. I was born in 1969, so I saw ALL the cool concerts growing up. In the 1990's I saw EVERY Allan Holdsworth tour to Northern California since 1989. Our Mozart. In 500 years from now he will STILL be talked about and WE were there !!!!!!!!!!
I remember driving up to Boston to see a Holdswoth show with Jimmy Johnson and Chad Wackerman. My brother and I were 6 feet away from them all night and enchanted by these 3 guys for without a doubt 2 and a half of the best musical hours of my life. Allan was always completely and thoroughly amazing. Thank you for this posting.
Got to see him around 1996. He was in a experimental stage of his career so it was not like seeing him in the 70’s or 80’s. At the Birchmere in Va the musicians would come out afterwards and you could meet them and get your ticket signed. I got to also shake his hand. His hands were so large it was kind of shocking and he had a very strong grip. Great guy also. A real gentleman.
This was the exact video that I watched over a decade ago, the first I'd heard of Allan Holdsworth. He was so next level and yet all my teachers never mentioned him, I don't understand that. I love his work, I can't think of anyone else who transcends guitar as much as he does. I was so sad to hear of his passing, and yet again the social media that's always blanketed by those teachers and colleagues with RIPs of acoustic jazz legends, was sadly very quiet on that day. Ignoring music like this is discriminative, and does students a disservice. We all publicly gave a solumn RIP to Chick Corea of course (myself included), so why not Allan? He's not the only case like this. As a musician I hold a lot of resentment on this, partially because it has creatively isolating effects on people. Maybe this is more an America vs UK issue? Not sure but I'd love to understand. I know Japan sure doesn't have this problem! But even back in the 80's Japan and Germany largely carried the water for Allan Holdsworth types. I just don't understand Jazz purism, it makes no sense to discriminate against synthesized music, or associate these instrumental rigs as "smooth jazz" it's just insane to me. And why do we do this here? I look through my dad's old CD collection and I find tons of 80s fusion and I just love it. I know that so many other boomers are familiar with that era/scene as well, it was popular! What happened? Call me dramatic but it's been a deep gripe of mine creatively/academically. I wish I could find people around me who appreciate these gems before they sizzle out, folks like Allan deserve that, let-alone deserves these people to know his name at least! So outrageous. Allan was very special to me as a musician. I have more taste for this kind of music, or the end of Miles Davis' life with Warner Bros Records too, for example. I seriously think that it's tragic and toxic how neglected the fusion space is, to the point of being just history. As far as America is concerned. But you guys here obviously appreciate what we had in Earth while we still had it.
He was so advanced and beyond most people's comprehension that he went just as unnoticed in death and he did while he was alive. You'll never see players like this this is the commercial (and silly) guitar polls that abound in guitar mags and other music rags. Steve Morse was one exception that I can think of - another player well deserving of wide praise and applause I'm so happy for those of us who DID get to have this man's genius to experience and enjoy. The depth of his technique and comprehension level of the deepest levels of music theory and just otherworldly. Again - this was far beyond what most musicians can even start to ponder. We were lucky to have lived at the same time as Allan so we could see what music theory and guitar technique might look like in a few hundred years..! He was that far ahead of his time. No wonder very few payed much attention to him.
Я згоден з вами! Я теж нічого не знав і не чув про Алана Холдсворта до 2022 року. Захопившись музикою джаз і потім ф'южн я фанатично слухав Чика Корію, Пета Метіні, Тома Костера, інших.. Поки Ютюб не запропонував мені Алана. Алан Холдсворт - артист і музикант з великої букви. Його музичний внесок і талант будуть оцінені світом через багато десятиліть, так мені видається.
Your watching one of the greatest that ever played guitar he played by ear strictly he knew what key a song was in simply from a few notes amazing human being I bet God has him play for him and tells him the humans weren't ready for your genius yet
Govan said about Holdsworth 'you can't hear where he came from'. With guitar players your hear influences but with AH it's like he just got here. Like an alien.
I know he’s good and he seemed like an amazingly humble and kind person. But why do I get bored with his music? I’ve tried over and over to “like it”. Anyone else have this experience?
This is the frst time I've heard him, or heard of him. Our bass player just pointed him out to me. I appreciate his amazing technical genius and skill. This type of fusion jazz is just not everybody's cup of tea.
Well probably just outside your "normal" music that you grew up with. Therefore it may not resonate with you. Perfectly normal. But you still appreciate it. I'd guess there are many people in the same boat. Let's face it, his music was outside almost everyone's circle of normal.
even if you subtract the stunning virtuoso technique and musicianship when he plays, it's equally as jaw dropping to WRITE something that intricate and advanced sounding. Some of those chords are just unattainable for mortals. lol
Absolutely people question what kind of chords tosin abasi plays and he explains this heavy influence allan holdsworth has had on him because normally the chords involve shapes unknown to mortal hands
I don't get that into fusion, it just doesn't appeal to me. So I slept on Allan Holdsworth. Well, as it turns out, this was to my detriment. What an incredible musician. I am floored.
Miguel Ochoa It’s Zappa’s drummer Chad Wackerman. You missed out the “c” Look out for Zappa’s “Does Humour Belong in Music” video, as Chad is all over that one, and also the New York “Halloween” show! That one is a belter!
you're right, it's Chad. he is on fire in Zappa's Make A Jazz Noise Here album. one of the best Zappa bands there were, and Chad was a big part of that
I have question guys Anyone here knows the form of the piece? Was AH playing over main theme's bars and chords or is it a different set of bars and chords? Thank you!!
Let's say the form is A1 A2 B A3. The heads are the same for A1 and A2, but transposed down for A3; the endings for the A's are also the same, although transposed to three different keys. The time signature is changing constantly (4/4, 5/4, 6/4 and 7/4), except for the B and the solos, which are entirely in 4/4. Metronomically speaking, the best way to follow it is thinking of a stream of quarter notes (so many different time signatures don't help), telling between on-time notes and syncopations, and paying attention to the stresses and breaks between phrases. About the harmony in the solos, it's been slightly re-adapted to meet the 4/4.
@Andy Butler We should be grateful to have lived in the same era as this guy, years from now people are gonna study him like how they study bach and all the other old masters.
After classical musicians , he is the greatest musician in this planet. Also Herbie Hancock as well for sure. But Holdsworth's music is just something else. I can't even categorise his music genre sometimes. There are some songs in flat tire album that doesn't fit any music genre... Maybe his music is the music of aliens i don't know ...
I can't ask him any more, but I wonder how much of an influence Robert Fripp was on his playing. Fripp, much like Holdsworth uses a lot of cross picking and legato, they are quite similar players.
@@zootallures6470 thank for your information.I'll make some research here and there on those great musicians.I admire the art of Chad Wackerman from several years now.If my memories don't fail,I remember him playing with Zappa and other prominent musicians as Allan Holdsworth wich I came across back in the '70s in the excelent recording " Bundles" of Soft Machine....a landmark in guitar playing.I became and been an instant fan of Allan ever since...I never had the chance of meet him personally,but I have some friends musicians who had the pleasure of having time with him for professional matters.Allan was also a electronic designer and builder of pedals and amps for guitar.Those friends were customers and always saud Allan was an exceptionally polite,friendly and unaffected person in spite of how succesful and famous he was.He was an example of guitar playing but also of empathy and cool behaviour,wich is very refreshing...
Allan a great technician. I think I would like him better if he concentrated more on combining Harmony and Melody like you're making it sound like one set up instead of taking off into Mars . Still just my opinion.
At the risk of being called a heretic, I agree. Holdsworth was an incredible technician, and innovative in many ways, but sometimes fell into the school of "prog rock" that relies heavily on detached, rambling solos that go all over the place (as does the keyboard player here). Plenty of other masterful players in this league as well. It's almost as though having that extreme musicianship makes them forget how improvisation can grow from the song structure. Sometimes I just like listening to the beautiful chords and tones.
@@openreels It differs from solo to solo, some of them are a bit more homogeneous. His best solos have a really beautiful narrative structure to them, like what he plays on Low Levels High Stakes. When he chooses to do so, the structure is what stands out the most
He was not only a great technician... it's difficult to understand what he doing sometimes, i can understand...he was and he's still another thing because he was unconventional.
It is obvious they guys are all very talented but this song was a brutal reminder of why I can’t stand prog rock. The constant over playing of the drums throughout the entire song was hard to listen to for starters. I could go on about it but I won’t.
As a Bassist, I found Allan through Jeff Berlin's album "Champion" which led me to "Road Games" I was instantly converted. I had the pleasure of seeing the band in the mid 1980's at NYC's "Bottom Line" club. Jimmy Johnson on Bass and Alan Pasqua on Keys along with Chad and Allen of course. They knocked me out! The level of musicianship was astonishing. Sounds as fresh as ever. RIP the master, Allan Holdsworth.
Me too ! Bass player here and saw Jimmy Johnson with Allan and Chad in 1989 and was HOOKED, Saw EVERY show in San Francisco since.
much of allan's music makes me '' cry.''..its his style and feel...i met him and UK in 1978 at peaches records -i also won the large uk album display-got auto graph albums from, bill-john wetton and eddie...went to the concert the next day at the punch and judy theater and had first row tickets ,and that concert was bad ass hell...the sound was excellent....
the second concert we did not have tickets so we went down to the show,ended up back stage and low and behold allan is out back with eddie shooting baskets...we said hello--they ask if we were coming to tonights show...we said we had no tickets and they were sold out... he then called his guy over and told him to ''get these two guys in tonight...and we saw the second show because of allan...my buddy james(bass player-me drummer) hipped me on to holdsworth, cuz he knew i'd love his style and i fell in love with his violin type guitar style...
Me too. I get very emotional listening to the master.
ps i can feel a bit of the Tony Williams vibe with this drummer....
best guitar playing you’ll ever see
And hear
Yep!!!!
Literally true! RIP to the guitar goat.
Best guitar playing you'll ever see? Well, it depends on if someone likes this style of playing, or not.
@@MeAndTheBoys_ Wrong; Allan's simply the best. That's obvious to those who have good ears and are familiar with a lot of guitar music. People who don't appreciate him simply lack the acuity to judge.
What a band!!! Could not be tighter!! Alan was just light years ahead of everyone... What a great loss. Thank you for your legacy Allan
the world will never see another like this, my dear old master musician friend, beloved Allan Holdsworth, ETERNAL LIGHT
You’re talking about originality and innovation. Lots of people can copy Holdsworth. Few guitarists are creative.
♪ ♥ ♪
I recommend to you Guthrie Govan, if you're not already familiar
The musicianship across the band is jaw-dropping!
Incredible drumming by Chad Wackerman !
Always!
He played with Frank Zappa,and he only chose the best.
That's actually Tony Williams, at least on the album it is
@@ciremai303it's not lol tf u talking bout
@@mhndev look at the credits on Atavachron, Tony Williams plays the drums on Looking Glass. On the back of the jacket
Allan is so far ahead of the rest of us. The drummer is excellent.
un grand monsieur de la guitare et de la composition
I was fortunate enough to see these amazing musicians live a couple of times in the late 1980s. So glad I did. After the first time, I couldn’t sleep for my mind being blown!
The legacy of this guy is something outta this world...
The drummer's mullet alone has more kick-ass energy than most of today's music.
Si mi hermano, estás en lo cierto! Chad wackerman es un maldito genio
I feel bad for those who don't like his music.
ua-cam.com/video/SfraPOpy-0k/v-deo.html

SERIOUSLY!
Me too.
Don't feel bad just listen to Allan and feel GOOD!

Greatest guitarist ever
I love how much Allan is into his solos. His face always shows us how much he enjoys playing guitar.
A world of his own. A universe.
At the 3:38 point is when I almost cry every time and I’m a grown man! Just beautiful!!
Bro i love allan yet ive never heard this absolute shreddathon
Incredible! Awesome! The best. Ever
This, kids, is known as gobsmacked guitar mastery.
December 1976 I heard the Tony Williams Lifetime LP with Alan.
Fred changed my idea of chords and soloing forever.

Let's say the form is A1 A2 B A3. The heads are the same for A1 and A2, but transposed down for A3; the endings for the A's are also the same, although transposed to three different keys. The time signature is changing constantly (4/4, 5/4, 6/4 and 7/4), except for the B and the solos, which are entirely in 4/4. Metronomically speaking, the best way to follow it is thinking of a stream of quarter notes (so many different time signatures don't help), telling between on-time notes and syncopations, and paying attention to the stresses and breaks between phrases. About the harmony in the solos, it's been slightly re-adapted to meet the 4/4.
