Allan Holdsworth | '''''Summary''': Allan Holdsworth's musical influences came from his father, a pianist with a diverse record collection. He originally didn't aspire to be a musician but later embraced the guitar. He didn't learn standards for jam sessions, often improvised, and focused on scales and technical exercises. His compositions were influenced by mathematical scale exploration, and he played by ear, hearing and feeling the music as he played. Holdsworth discussed his approach to metrics, vibrato bar technique, and his preference for communication through music. He emphasized the importance of being in the right mindset to make music and expressed mixed feelings about his influence on other guitarists. He also mentioned cycling as a hobby and how his music preferences evolve over time. Holdsworth expressed a desire to collaborate with Elvin Jones and shared his experience with various album projects. He had a few unlisted albums in progress but contemplated taking breaks from music due to his cyclical relationship with it, valuing music as a personal experience over a profession.'' | ||
