whhy spend so much time just to sound like somebody else? why? And in a genre that has such a narrow audience and is tiring to listen for most people. Even musicians. I think even late Alan would agree on this one.

What did you do to get your picking technique up to speed ?
@streetwiseguitar511312 сағат бұрын
Thank you for being interested enough to ask! I have worked on it for the past six years. Before that I couldn't do anything! Well… I couldn't pick! It is taking a lot of concentrated effort and to be honest with you, it still feels like a bit of sham! I am an economy picker. That's how I get things done.

Maid Marion and Non Brewed Condiment songs are missing. Very nice show, in 1987 Allan was beginning to challenge himself demonstrating feats that can not be emulated, but the most unstoppable and furious moment would come 1 year from end 1989 later until 1995 where in those 6 years was his most bloodthirsty stage and his impossible peak.

I love it when I see a person who was able to take their passion and make it a thing that they earn a living from. You not only did that, but, you created something totally new in the process, a previously unknown, unexplored section within the realm of, the science of body mechanics. Your research led you to interactions with people who study body mechanics, how freaking cool!!! Very many congratulations to you👍. And then I realized you've gotten many of the legendary living guitar players I've worshipped to join your experiment and allow you to clamp your camera / phone onto the necks of their very valuable instruments, and as you mentioned... risking their eyeballs, to observe and document their wrist/ picking motion. Then, you go further and evaluate their techniques as if they were Josh Allen and there were millions of dollars riding on trying to understand/copy what's going on, why is their motion, their mechanics so much better. I remember you mentioned some Master's thesis you did, just totally amazing. Lastly, I'm a sucker for ebony fretboards, so I love your guitars! You're awesome, thank you for creating something from nothing but curiosity and advancing the guitar world!!

Hi professor how would you compare Brett Stines thesis to John Vullos exposition on the matter of Allan's playing , my limited understanding is that Stine has a more comprehensive and totalising theory in regards to how Allan is thinking about his playing while vullo has displayed more exhaustive " examples " that refrence of his understanding / interpretation of what's happening inside Allan's playing. your perspective would greatly appreciated
@streetwiseguitar51136 күн бұрын
! First of all thank you for taking the time to watch both of the videos. This is a very difficult question to answer because I don't want to cause offense to anybody because both of those individuals worked incredibly hard and put so much blood sweat and tears into their respective projects. There's a big difference between those two musicians. Brett is an improvising musician with a jazz background. This greatly separates the two in pretty much every aspect. I have a great deal of respect for what John accomplished. He was also incredibly gracious and kind to me. Simultaneously, I would have to say that in terms of literally figuring out what Allan did and his verifiable proof that Brett was able to on earth in multiple videos and interviews, but it is Brett's work that stands as somebody who has truly unlocked the code. I don't think this is based on opinion I think it is based on proof. I hope this helps…
@donbroni6 күн бұрын
That's a generous reply thankyou , my sense listening to both interviews(I've gained a lot from both ) was that Brett has taken the direction and intent to understand the underlying mechanism that gives rise to Holdsworth's expression as I think many of us feel it's not random notes or "free" playing. Thanks for clarifying your perspective on things here !

@tylerdavis39 күн бұрын
I think that’s what he meant. Although if that is what he meant I can’t understand why he would think he would have any advantages/disadvantages while playing, the only thing possible is not being able to get to the volume and tone knobs as well as the pickup selector as well, but that doesn’t affect his actual playing.
