One man of 'Trane
'''''Summary''': In an interview with virtuoso guitarist Allan Holdsworth, he expressed frustration at the lack of recognition for his unique music. He noted that jazz and rock stations didn't play his work, leaving him in a musical no-man's land. Holdsworth's style, heavily influenced by John Coltrane, involved an unorthodox technique he developed while experimenting with the guitar, using hammer-ons and legato to create flowing, saxophone-like lines. He also discussed his use of the SynthAxe synthesizer and his evolving gear setup, including Carvin hollow-body custom guitars, Steinberger guitars, and Yamaha amplifiers.''
