Allan was the finest electric guitarist in any genre ever. RIP

I agree with you on that one ☝🏾, Imagine that you discovered this album 💿 right here when you were 12 years old, that’s when I first heard this album, and then I didn’t know what genre it was, but I knew right away that it was extremely unique, Allen was the best guitarist ever, and Bill Buford was a beast on the drums 😳👍🏾 The “UK” Album it came out in 1978 I was born in 1966
A funny, intelligent and very humble guy that Alan. Those are the qualities that allowed him to become so great. I would have loved to just hang out with him at the pub. ^-^

Aylbdr Madison : i got to hang out with him at a pub, in cypress california, one evening. a guy who road managed for “big al” was my friend. alan lived in orange county. my friend arranged for the three of us to meet at a british club in cypress. we drank a few boddington ales and shot the shit for a couple of hours. talked about bruford, gong and soft machine, and other bands. he was just a great guy.

He was at the bar in Swallos Inn in San Juan Capistrano when my band was setting up for our gig and I said hi and asked him if he'd like to play with us but he was just there to relax. We talked about Carvin and one of their guitars that I bought and I said I liked his pickups best of the ones I tried there. Cool guy.

When I mentioned the left handed SG I used to have, of course Jimmy Haslip has resolved that issue in his own self taught virtuoso way. Jimmy can take any right hander's bass and play it as is. What in the world got him to even attempt to do such a thing, let alone actually do it, is beyond me. It's beyond anybody else too.

He was a Genius. Take a look at Per Nilsson. He has a similar sound and play.

In retrospect, if I would have kept that left handed SG, maybe adding the Bigsby tailpiece vibrato kit, that is available without drilling extra holes, would have offset that weight and perhaps added some balance to it. Therefore, helping to keep that neck from sliding down towards the floor. Or at least not so much anyways.

@totallyunmemorable2 жыл бұрын
Hmm, I think it looks odd cause it's too small. Especially on AH, who appears to be a pretty big guy. I'd like to hear what it sounds like as a conventional guitar. AH's sound doesn't sound much like a guitar. He goes for a sax sound. A sax sound with lots of treble rolled off and heavy on the effects.
@stratoleft2 жыл бұрын
Again, Jimmy Haslip solved the problem on his own, but for me, being left handed, instead of all the haphazard attempts at turning guitars upside down, trying to get whatever I could get, Carvin would have been the best thing for me right out of the starting gate. Instead of going through all that drudgery, and lack of tone mess over the years.

Great points about guitar. It is ugly but balanced and easy to play. Soundwise it is one dimensional. You can't hear any wood resonance. Plastic sounding. Allan as guitarist huge inspiration. Can't play like him but trying changes my playing too.
