Allan Holdsworth
'''''Summary''': The article delves into the musical journey of Allan Holdsworth, an influential Yorkshire guitarist celebrated for his distinct, fluid playing style. Despite starting guitar relatively late, Holdsworth's fascination with improvisation and his exposure to jazz records from his father's collection shaped his unique approach. He remained self-taught and eschewed formal music training. Holdsworth experimented with various guitars, including Hofner and Gibson, and was known for customizing Fender Stratocasters with Gibson pickups for a signature sound. He also discussed his amplifier preferences, emphasizing the significance of speaker cabinets. Holdsworth's ability to combine technical prowess with emotional expression in music was his hallmark.''

Keep your fingers crossed and your eyes open because I strongly suspect that Allan Holdsworth is going to be the British guitar player over the next five to ten years - beyond that, who can say?
