'''''Summary''': Allan Holdsworth, a renowned but genre-blurring British guitarist, expresses weariness on tour in Ohio, longing to go home. Despite acclaim, he struggles with categorization and record label challenges. Holdsworth's journey from being a sax player to a guitarist led him to success with bands like Soft Machine and Gong, but he battled commercialism in England and found his break in America with the help of Eddie Van Halen. However, record label issues and artistic integrity caused setbacks. Holdsworth continues to innovate, utilizing the SynthAxe for creative expression. He advocates that a guitar remains a guitar, while seeking a broader audience for his music.'' | |||
