	When it feels complete. I have a lot of ideas where something is there, but I know it’s nowhere near completed. So, I keep working on it until it makes a complete circle. It’s like putting two ends together. I keep working on a tune harmonically until I feel there’s a resolution. I also like to modulate things, so even though it sounds like I’m playing the same thing twice, it’s being played in a different key. You hear that on the tune “Tullio” on '''Hard Hat Area'''. I think it’s the longest chord sequence I’ve done. The whole solo section for keyboards and guitar is the same. It sounds like it’s almost repeating, but if you listen, you realize the keyboard solo happens just one time. It’s an example of how I let something complete itself in that I keep playing until I feel the piece makes a whole circle.		When it feels complete.

	[[File:Hardhatarea.jpeg\|200px\|right]]"Hard Hat Area" is a 1993 solo album by Allan Holdsworth. “Hard Hat Area” features just one band: Gary Husband, Steve Hunt, and new bassist Skuli Sverrison, who toured prior to recording, so there’s a sense of cohesion not heard since since “IOU”. The music is dense, long tracks and long solos, but at the same time uplifting in rare sense for a Holdsworth record. Mostly guitar, plus a little SynthAxe, especially on the title track.
