Allan's music came pretty easily to me, as I told you before that I always rely on my hearing. And I was crazy enough to transcribe and learn some of his solos long before I actually played with him. So I was well prepared. | Allan's music came pretty easily to me, as I told you before that I always rely on my hearing.

== From interview with No Treble == | |||
Speaking of Allan Holdsworth, I was wondering if you had any stories you might share. | |||
Like I tell anybody, he was one of the nicest people on the earth. He was a perfectionist and was very crucial about how he sounded. He was a very giving and loving person. I saw him give people guitars. That’s all I can say. Of course, everyone knows that he’s a revolutionary guitar player that influenced a lot of people. | |||
As a bandleader, did he give you a lot of direction? | |||
Man, no. Allan would literally say, “Just do whatever you wanna do.” That’s the way he was. When I started playing with him, he said, “Any time you want to start soloing, just start soloing.” Then I said, “Really? What if you’re soloing? Can I solo then?” He said, “Go right ahead.” [laughs] | |||
