There are roughly 100 stories here that feature Allan, either as a band member or a solo artist. The majority of features are from guitar magazines, and so they tend to have a technical slant to them. Allan's first proper solo feature was in 1974, but the bulk of the stories are from the 80s and onwards, after Allan went solo. You don't have to read to many of these stories before the same kinds of things come up: Allan would get asked the same questions a lot, particularly in terms of technique and gear. Allan would often talk about his current album, so there's variety in those terms. Many of the stories are reasonably well done, but a few of the interviews go much deeper than the rest. Tom Mulhern's [[Allan Holdsworth (Guitar Player 1982)]] is one, Neville Marten's [[Castles Made Of Sand (Guitarist 1987)]] is another. Matt Resnicoff probably wrote the two best stories ever on Allan, the companion pieces [[The Unreachable Star (Guitar World 1989)]] and [[Allan Holdsworth’s Untold Secrets + Worthy Quotes (Guitar Player 1990)]]. [[Mike Pachelli Show (video transcript 1991)]] goes to some unusual places, while [[The Reluctant Guitarist (Jazz Journal 1992)]] tells a lot about where Allan came from, in particular his relationship with his father.  Anil Prasad's [[Creating Imaginary Backdrops (Innerviews 1993)]] is a nice non-guitar-centric interview, while [[Allan Holdsworth: An interview (Atavachron 1994)]] shows Allan in a more informal conversation with his friends, led by Chris Hoard. Neville Marten captures "The Sixteen Men Of Tain" era well in [[Whisky Galore (Guitarist 2000)]], while there's a more retrospective slant to Barry Cleveland's [[The Man Who Changed Guitar Forever (Guitar Player 2008)]]. Those alone should provide many hours of reading.

In October 2023, introductory summaries to most of the articles  were added. These summaries were written by ChatGPT 3.5. The prompts used were generally in the form of "Summarize in 50 words:" followed by the source material. This approach turned out to work quite well, as the summaries give a general overview of the subject matter. If you're looking for specific things, it's still probably better to use the search function for the site.

'''Note on languages''': Many articles have appeared in other languages such as German, French, Spanish and Italian. Most of these are offered here in the original language, as well as in a machine translation. Some of these translations are listed here, while for others you will need to click through the foreign language version. I'll try to make a consistent system eventually. But the important thing to note is that while the translations generally seem to maintain their original meaning, they are not verbatim quotes by Allan, and so they must not be read literally. In October 2023, I added ChatGPT 3.5 translations of a few articles. ChatGPT generally does a better job of translating guitar and music related interviews than Google Translate, as far as I can tell.

There are roughly 100 stories here that feature Allan, either as a band member or a solo artist. The majority of features are from guitar magazines, and so they tend to have a technical slant to them. Allan's first proper solo feature was in 1974, but the bulk of the stories are from the 80s and onwards, after Allan went solo. You don't have to read to many of these stories before the same kinds of things come up: Allan would get asked the same questions a lot, particularly in terms of technique and gear. Allan would often talk about his current album, so there's variety in those terms. Many of the stories are reasonably well done, but a few of the interviews go much deeper than the rest. Tom Mulhern's Allan Holdsworth (Guitar Player 1982) is one, Neville Marten's Castles Made Of Sand (Guitarist 1987) is another. Matt Resnicoff probably wrote the two best stories ever on Allan, the companion pieces The Unreachable Star (Guitar World 1989) and Allan Holdsworth’s Untold Secrets + Worthy Quotes (Guitar Player 1990). Mike Pachelli Show (video transcript 1991) goes to some unusual places, while The Reluctant Guitarist (Jazz Journal 1992) tells a lot about where Allan came from, in particular his relationship with his father. Anil Prasad's Creating Imaginary Backdrops (Innerviews 1993) is a nice non-guitar-centric interview, while Allan Holdsworth: An interview (Atavachron 1994) shows Allan in a more informal conversation with his friends, led by Chris Hoard. Neville Marten captures "The Sixteen Men Of Tain" era well in Whisky Galore (Guitarist 2000), while there's a more retrospective slant to Barry Cleveland's The Man Who Changed Guitar Forever (Guitar Player 2008). Those alone should provide many hours of reading.

In October 2023, introductory summaries to most of the articles were added. These summaries were written by ChatGPT 3.5. The prompts used were generally in the form of "Summarize in 50 words:" followed by the source material. This approach turned out to work quite well, as the summaries give a general overview of the subject matter. If you're looking for specific things, it's still probably better to use the search function for the site.

The articles

Note on languages: Many articles have appeared in other languages such as German, French, Spanish and Italian. Most of these are offered here in the original language, as well as in a machine translation. Some of these translations are listed here, while for others you will need to click through the foreign language version. I'll try to make a consistent system eventually. But the important thing to note is that while the translations generally seem to maintain their original meaning, they are not verbatim quotes by Allan, and so they must not be read literally. In October 2023, I added ChatGPT 3.5 translations of a few articles. ChatGPT generally does a better job of translating guitar and music related interviews than Google Translate, as far as I can tell.

A Repair Shop Sparked a Revolution: The Charvel/Jackson Story (Reverb 2021)

Unpublished piece by David Ashcraft (1982)

Hear producer Dan Perloff talk to Dan Miles about the work that went into the box set, the "Live in Japan" album, as well as possibilities for future archival releases. Highly recommended!
