"Allan Holdsworth plays Guthrie Govan !!!" - AMAZING RARE FOOTAGE !!!-

"You've really caught a lot of people with this one" What does this mean?

[@laurieharper1526]

@@jameswcollett Seems he's caught you with it, too. I'll try to explain simply. This channel is a spoof. The channel owner, Richard Daude, is a first rate guitarist. He creates and plays an alternative, humorous soundtrack to videos and posts them. Many people are fooled into thinking that the videos and the soundtrack are real and pitch in with comments such as those you'll see below. Comprenez?

[@Iracord]

Allan was the Maestro! That does not mean that Guthrie is a clone!!! Saw Guthrie with Hans Zimmer-mind blown! Both amazing! Worked with Allan in studio twice...I was drooling.

[@FeelingShred]

OMG I can only dream about becoming some kind of general assistant inside a studio, just the ability of peeking at what is happening of interesting at any random moment and watching something being created out of nothing... how would I offer to help in a recording studio? part of it might be luck but I believe it's just showing up really, we self sabotage a lot, just show up, simple

[@FeelingShred]

you know what is crazy? a few years ago before becoming a travelling nomad before selling all my stuff I had a few instruments at home, I could not have the discipline for learning by myself but what I would love to do would be to receive musician friends at home and tweak the amplifiers while they played in search for different sounds, for whatever reason that fascinated me 🤣🤣

To me it's the way his shedding falls back into beautiful melody that makes him so classy. Genius

Of course, but his knowledge of music theory was what truly made him classy! An inspiration to all.

I hear no beautiful melodies here. I really don't like his music, though I hugely respect his skill. It's all very cold and technical, with no emotion.

This is not allan’s playing in the video, but man…. you should listen to looking glass (album version) and tell me that he’s not playing with all feel/emotion.. he just expresses it differently. Feeling with feel/emotion doesn’t mean bending strings/playing slow/ playing with vibrato… What do you think? Btw, I do off course get anyone that is not into his music… It’s not for everyone

Allan was the best of the best... He developed his own musical system for guitar...walking his own path... I consider that, genius!

[@goodman1127]

Yes, and what is interesting his scales are rooted in conteporary classical music (Messiaen, Penderecki). Almost every guitar player are rooted in blues guitar tradition (ex. string bending) but no Allan.

[@benoitpilon6841]

You got that right! 👍

[@sixfingr]

I’m not even sure what I meant. Eddie was a great rocker but he had one harmonic approach. Allan makes harmony sit up, beg and shake hands. No comparison outside of a few moments where Eddie’s considerable facility and liquid speed faintly echoed Allan’s effortless precision and unmatched artistry.

Im not a Jazz guy - though I use some of chords. But you have to recognize this as some type of genius. His mastery is unparalleled; in terms of harmonic understanding. Hendrix was the most innovative and funkiest. But this guy is The Einstein of guitar.

[@claymor8241]

Actually Holdsworth’s general harmonic and compositional approach is fairly simple, it’s the execution of the chords, and tunes ( and of course solos) that us so challenging.

[@Clamgtr]

Congratulations to the one who noticed that Alan's solo could fit Govan's track... unfortunately the drum footage tells us it's fake... I'm not quite sure it's Alan playing this also. Alan legato sounds different... but it matches a lot with the video. The idea was awesome...

[@zoopdiwop]

Wow, I absolutely do not understand the like / dislike ratio. Genius playing and funny concept. Love your stuff. (Besides, there's a lot to learn from this: how to solo over E minor in the style of Allan Holdsworth).

[@johnhoy1940]

Anyone who is hating this doesn't know anything about guitar playing even if you don't like it you have to realize he is an awesome player who is one of the few game changers slot can be learned from Holdsworth

[@oldbladderhorn949]

most are seasoned guitarists and staunch fans and know a fake, just after a few bars. and that's not a pub crawl mate. We all know how Allan sounds like, and the guy has admitted it's a joke fake. and when you hear Allan boy you just know no fucker sounds like him he was amazing like a fast flowing stream, he must have had fibre optic nerves and to my ears this sounds exactly like a GT magazine cd lesson rip and the video is on the tube in full the whole bloody concert and the drum and bass are phenomenal as well (not like here,) their the best of the best world class and not student grade teachers though they used to get star guests to give lessons Guthrie Govan was with them for a good few years and Guthrie is brilliant was very very close on Allan when he was alive

[@davelouis4004]

I appreciate the abilities and accomplishments of Alan and Guthrie but I don’t particularly like what they do. Therefore, I am not well acquainted with either of their work. Can somebody explain in simple terms what has been done? Because, other than the drums being out of sync, I have no idea what has been done.

[@eelamite]

i just realised apart from all his crazy intervallic jumps, spread ahh monster chords, and distinct tone ostches patches - the way he uses vibrato in jis phrasing is very interesting

[@EdBender]

I can totally understand why some people dislike this. As a guitarrist and musician, I can appreciate the incredible technique and inventiveness, but as a listener, I do recognize that it sounds very much unmelodic, building tension in strange directions, seldon resolving, sometimes to dissipate in a somewhat anti-climatic dissonance... It's not the kind of sound I listen to when I want to relax, definitely. But Allan was a genious like few. His practicality in adopting the headless guitar is a sign of a that: a man for whom the music alone mattered, and anything extraneous to it should be reduced to its minimum. RIP great AH.

very true. Holworth's music does nothing for me that watching a really fast touch typist can't do.
