''[Ed. note: This article is a rare example of Allan explicitly promoting gear for pay. Allan does mention some Yamaha gear in other interviews at the time, but wether he used for actual recordings or gigs is hard to verify. After 1982, there is no mention of Yamaha gear until the late 80s, when he would talk about using Yamaha synth modules and some pieces of outboard gear.]'' | |||
Allan Holdsworth warmly ushered us into his Tustin apartment. Allan, who was pictured on the cover of the December, 1982, issue of "Guitar Player," was smiling warmly as he offered us tea. We conversed a while, and eventually asked him how he felt about his unique playing style. "There's always people who try to sound like other people." Allan said, "I want to move on. To change. There are so many endless thousands of things that haven't been done before. That's actually part of why I started getting into this...." The "this" was a rack cabinet full of signal processing and mixing equipment. | Allan Holdsworth warmly ushered us into his Tustin apartment.
