Allan Holdsworth Rocks solo from Truth in Shredding

[@RickBeato]

Sounds killer Derryl! There’s some really great lines in that solo.

[@derrylgabel]

Thanks Rick! Yes, I really dig how he uses Messiaen's third mode of limited transposition. I think Allan calls it the symmetrical scale in his REH video. He uses it at 0:56 and at 1:07.

[@Simeon_Harris]

yes, i love the sound of this scale and once you get hip to it, you can hear how much allan loved it too. outstanding work, as always derryl!

[@axyshaysi]

The lick at 01:34 is my favorite. Its so unique. Never heard of it before and after

[@WbadasAllDay]

1:51 unbelievable stretch

[@biorythmicshifter]

Damn…and just think, Allan improvised that solo. Fantastic playing sir.

[@yannick2047]

Impeccable playing! Extremely difficult solo!!

[@adamwissman93]

I miss Holdsworth so much

[@GreenDistantStar]

Best Holdsworth cover ever, hands down, well played, sir.

[@MrOscyn]

Superb!

[@mojamo1]

One of the most underrated guitarists.

[@AndreNieri]

Damn, I always wanted to play that solo hahaha

[@Sacrogus]

same feeling hahah

[@lex.cordis]

It's one thing to conquer the physical/technical aspect of this (which is quite a feat in and of itself) but just consider.... Allan improvised this. It isn't so much that Allan played this, but it's the fact that a human mind conceived of it in the first place which is truly incredible.

[@Heaven-dy9lj]

That's art and a true artist. It's all very well to imitate copy, emulate, but to actually originate something from another place, that's unique. That's genius.

[@javierantoniosilva8477]

You da man. You make one of the most difficult solos of all time look so easy.

[@GustavoAssisBrasil]

You're incredible, man!

[@derrylgabel]

Haha! If this was my improvised solo that would be something but.... No dude, YOU are the man!

[@marieginocchio222]

Nice job, such a great album with Holdsworth and Gambale

[@joseph2707]

Wow! I can't verbalize my amazement any better than that. You nailed every single note. Amazing!

[@pichincho7]

Gracias, muchas gracias, si hay un musico que deberia renacer ese es Allan.

[@JensLarsen]

Solid Derryl! I didn't even know of this album! Thanks!

[@JensLarsen]

Can't wait for the next video! :)

[@derrylgabel]

Thank you Jens! I'm taking a break from covers for a while but I got to say I love your channel. I think you have one of the best jazz guitar channels on youtube. I highly recommend it!

[@aeksinsang932]

Jens Larsen it’s so underrated

[@fredbass77]

Congrats Derryl ,Huge work and playing

[@DavidLeeHalen]

Pure magic!!!!

[@tommasolorusso4241]

[@Truthinshredding1]

woah, right on the money

[@seannoahdirgham2128]

Yeeeaaaaah,,you are derryl holdsworth,,awesome!

[@binchen6029]

unbelievable

[@lngodwetrust7117]

You're the only guitarist I've heard that really caught the sound, phrasing and style of A. Holdsworth. Congrats and God bless 👍

[@Gregorypeckory]

This is mind blowing from the point of view of the improvisation itself, and also the unbelievably accurate transcription which is just a towering feat! Not only the chops, but the ear, and the sheer will to put in the work to nail it; you win at guitar at the highest level!

[@derrylgabel]

Well, I have a confession to make. My friend Joe Britton transcribed this however I made a few minor edits but these are subjective since we don't have a video of Allan playing it. I always had trouble figuring out this super fast repeated phrase that Allan plays at the climax of his solo with rolling toms underneath but thankfully Joe was able to hear it. Glad you enjoyed the performance!

[@oficialrodrigorocha_]

Killer 👏 Amazing!!!!

[@Tylercorrell]

Rock on

[@AlessandroGiglioli]

Well... just perfect!

[@kermheat]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Chalo712]

Fabuloso

[@obiwan92054]

some kind of trickery there... I mean wow insane playing

[@otiago1979]

Very good indeed!

[@lory7211]

Congratulations: really special rendering of that solo. By the way that solo shows what a GENIUS was Allan.... Doesn't it?

[@derrylgabel]

Yes!

[@marca7434]

Holy Toledo ... Excellent playing and great chops. 🎵

[@BDaMonkey]

Holy crap. This is incredible.

[@krikeyitstimeforcricket967]

That is some really exceptional playing Derryl. Wow. 👏🏼

[@guenther-fusion]

Absolutely Awesome !!!

[@Addamo]

Sensational. Never seen anyone take off Alan with such mastery.

[@LisaBellaDonnaMusic]

Wonderful impressions here!! What a great record front bro back. One one ALLAN HOLDSWORTH ❤️

[@derrylgabel]

thank you. I did Frank's solo too. Yeah, this is one of my all time favorite fusion guitar albums.

[@MrOscyn]

Just amazing!

[@paulmorrison4338]

Wow!

[@ИванБорисов-у3ш]

Very cool....!!!

[@NicknLex]

I have heard this solo over a span of 12 years. I literally know this by memory. You nailed it perfectly!! I wish I could play like you.

[@MrOscyn]

Fantastic!!!

[@pierreyvesbrugel8979]

Vous êtes au plus proche d'Allan ,impressionnant

[@twintron]

Amazing , totally the best job possible. Amazing technique. Great player.

[@jeffreycollins7297]

The playing at @1:20 really makes me wanna get one of those guitars. Totally unfettered access to the top frets without your hand bumping against the low horn of the guitar. NICE!!! And it’s Derryl so it’s always gonna be sweet playing. 👍👍👍👍

[@ebragayt]

Amazing. Congrats

[@EloiJr]

Incrível

[@stevenjones6780]

Your tone is just so perfect. Those 24 fret Carvins are the right tool for the job!

[@robertritchiesse]

Great job. =)

[@Loudjazz]

unbelievable 😲

[@luke125]

Killin’

[@bluesdriver6354]

Very nice. RIP AH

[@esposoman]

Awesome!!

[@orlandowilson4325]

Unbelievable! Killer mannn.

[@laurentdarcq5624]

Amazing ! Congratulations !

[@derrylgabel]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@gabriell8714]

The line at 1:34 is just to good ! Sound so ''off'' and dissonant but fit so perfectly. The whole solo is a great anthology of Holdsworth's genius.

[@brandoagusti7288]

He's also doing the appropriate face

[@WbadasAllDay]

The “off” effect is more ritmycally than harmonically. The rhythm is insane! But here are 3 notes and one note “out” ( but is no out because it’s the sharp five that would be the Eb Major Bepop Scale)

[@marcoantoniodasilva5598]

Fantastic playing

[@Rush75jmgg]

This right here it's what I consider to be the best guitar solo of all time, in any music gente.... Gabin, I never thought it could be replicated... Flawless... You have me speechless to say the least

[@markbaum9615]

......Id swear that was AH ....great work ...thanks for sharing.....

[@aicragmar6630]

Quel brio !

[@CamiloVelandia]

Killer work brother. I've heard this album so many times.

[@cerveshred]

Amazing!! This album and Centrifugal Funk have great moments. Cheers from Chile

[@enzosmith5371]

Wow...sounds like this guy got the Holdsworth vibe down. Great guitar work.

[@santiagodobles9843]

Great Job brother

[@homerobittencourt]

well done Derryl

[@jakemf1]

The rhythm section lays it down on this track and man Holdsworth kills it here. Just killer

[@glennp6413]

All serious licks and as fluid as legato and sweeps and all of it could be at a level of control speed fire and finesse that you clearly demonstrated just wows me. There so many hooks in you're playing style had me glued to that piece.Absolutely jawdropping.Very exciting playing as always.Please keep sharing Derryl.Blessings.

[@alexandermeadow860]

woah

[@frederickkrug5420]

Just Fantastic

[@tico3858]

man!! that sounds amazing!

[@krasta38]

Fucking insane ! What a big work ! You didn't only worked notes but intonation, vibratos ... Congrats, it's beautyfull !

[@tubo777]

Mindblowing! that was a very hard solo to cover, lots of hard work put into this.

[@nicoceleste1438]

Amazing Derryl!!!!!!

[@JensMayer]

Perfect!

[@michaelnovak9412]

Absolutely mind blowing!!!

[@MercutioUK2006]

Monstrous. Hats off to you for transcribing and executing that, and of course to Allan for being unique.

[@derrylgabel]

I used a friend of mine's transcription as a guide because I trust his skills. You can email him for his transcription however, our fingerings differ in a few spots. His email is [e-mail]

[@Travybakersk8er]

WOW WEEEEEEEEE

[@inspirassion7517]

Excelent !!

[@RealDiaz]

Nailed it.

[@IbanezFan550]

Incredible playing Derryl!

[@WbadasAllDay]

AMAZING!!!!!! I HAVE NO WORDS! And you reply the exact tone on the 2:02 DAMN!!!!

[@rt.flairproductions2640]

Absolutely spot on! ..and I love the Vader!

[@jhep1]

another one of my favourite solos conquered!

[@edwingcarrenoyanez37]

soooo great

[@minifuzz5]

Wow man,you really nailed it!Killer job!

[@kristianniemann8716]

Unreal.

[@moisesrobles5285]

a super technique, incredible!!

[@GuilhermeBezerr]

Amazing, congrats!

[@santiagodobles9843]

Good job brother

[@derrylgabel]

Thanks Santiago. Did you see the Gambale solo? That was a beast. I needed oxygen after that.

[@derrylgabel]

[@nicolasespinasse]

Awesome! One of the top favorite fusion track ever. Very good job.

[@ukefune5786]

amazing！

[@RickDanner]

awesome

[@nogbadthebad2609]

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!! I so envy your talent and dedication. The economy of you left hand movement is the best I have seen. I would argue it is more economic than Allan’s, but he did have pretty big hands. I've seen Allan four times here in the UK (1986, 1989, 1994 and 2008) and met him on three occasions. His legacy is huge and your flawless execution of his work are helping the musical community understand the depth of his compositional and improvisational genius.

[@Calymos]

holy shit this is my favourite of his solos, killer job! you nailed it, man.

[@Vaultnaemsae]

Hi Derryl, Still killin' it ;)

[@kevinbezat6417]

Awesome 😮

[@jcmendoza7086]

Goodness me! Incredibly monstrous! I've listened to TiS album multiple times and this is the first time I've *seen* it. Well done, champion!

[@ericpaulos8129]

Awesome work, Derryl! Very clean! Astounds me to watch you this and your cover of this solo is the most terrifying 2:11 guitar trip I've taken this year!
