EgoShredder It's a fucking joke. No newspaper that I know of reported his death. For a musician as revered as Holdsworth was/is, his death should have been reported. Lets face it, he should have had the same tributes as Bowie etc
I heard it here first. A living legend departs from this world, and nobody mentions it in the news... RIP Allan, your music will always be in my heart & soul. Very moving piece, Rick. Just beautiful...
Allan holdsworth. What a man he was and what a man he will always live on to be. A true guitar legend. I Will never forget the day his music opened my eyes to the world of jazz/fusion. It was so magical and surreal finding his work, it sparked emotion and a vibe inside of me that was of another planet. What a mystical bastard!
No words. Just Stunning. You remind me why I play guitar and inspire me everyday, Thank you!! Looking at how far you have come may seem unbelievable. But the fact you are only this successful is way more unbelievable to me. Tubs up if you agree.
Top quality everything. I'm saddened to hear. Saw him at the Jazz Cafe in London in the mid 90s more or less, and as an amateur guitarist that I was, thought he'll warm up over the 1st couple of tunes then work up to the fancy stuff as his fingers relax er no! after an introduction that sounded like an alien species' national anthem he then proceeded to rip my eyeballs out of my head by I fairly estimated was every note on his cricket bat guitar. Incredible night of music.
Thank you Rick Graham for remembering Allan Holdsworth with this touching song! Allan and his music showed me a different way to approach listening to music. I feel fortunate to have gotten to see clips of him playing as i was never able to see him live. I really respected his humility, kindness and his wonderful sense of humor. His music will continue to amaze me and be something i'll continue to listen to as much as i can. None of his compositions have ever grown old to me. They are as fresh each time i listen to them as they were the first time i heard them. Thank you Mr. Holdsworth. I mourn your passing with your family and your other fans.
Painfully beautiful Rick. R.I.P. Allan. You have been a huge inspiration to me my entire life and it was truly wonderful getting to meet and talk with you, one glorious day in the past.
I can't get over how painfully beautiful this piece is..... How the melody goes on even through the pain. A real analogy to heart felt sorrow that is also encouraging by it's triumph. Fucking love Ricky baby 🍼
Very nice Rick. I remember first hearing about Allan in the 70's, finding his work and being totally in awe with what I heard. We'll miss him. Thanks Rick
none of the guitar channels i'm subbed to have breathed a word about Alan's passing. well done Rick.
rick beato did
Indeed-a-cus
Just about all of mine have. And it's Allan, not Alan.

Absolutely.

Brings me to tears every time Rick. Said it many times. I’ll say again

I just saw this title today; I hadn't even been aware that Holdsworth had died. Thanks for the sweet tribute. And RIP to Allan.
Nice Rick! It's sad that Alan's passing has been unnoticed. He was such a great musician.

A masterpiece.

Rick, I keep coming back to this. It's easily one of the most beautiful compositions I've heard. Ever.
Nice one Rick. A great tribute to a guitar legend.
