'''''Summary''': Allan Holdsworth, a renowned and innovative guitarist, remains modest about his exceptional skills. Born in 1946 in Bradford, he was adopted by his grandparents, and his grandfather, Sam Holdsworth, played a pivotal role in his musical development. He developed a passion for complex harmony inspired by classical composers like Bartok, Debussy, and Ravel. Holdsworth's unique guitar technique involves light strings, hammer-on legato, and polytonal improvisation. He embraces the role of the guitar as a source of melody and harmony and often uses the Synthaxe for horn-like expression. Despite challenges, he continues to push musical boundaries with his exceptional band.'' | '''''Summary''': Allan Holdsworth, a renowned and innovative guitarist, remains modest about his exceptional skills.
