Allan Holdsworth is touted by many, including me, as the pinnacle of guitar innovators of our time. His career has spanned 30 years and reads like a Who’s Who of musical wizards: Tony Williams, Bill Bruford, Jack Bruce, Stanley Clarke, Missing Persons, Level 42 to only name a few and he’s inspired words of admiration and praise from people such as Eddie Van Halen, Carlos Santana, Steve Vai, just to name a few. I had the pleasure of interviewing Allan before his upcoming Texas and European tours. We talked about a lot of typical guitar topics but also veered into the music business, the shape of radio, cycling, and his favorite libations. Below is a slightly edited (for ease of reading only)version of our conversation. Enjoy! | Allan Holdsworth is touted by many, including me, as the pinnacle of guitar innovators of our time.
