Allan Holdsworth plays Synthaxe

[@jeffroach3722]

It's disgusting that Rolling Stone magazine didn't include him on 'The 250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time '. Thanks for sharing ☮️

[@janikal8801]

Yes, but can anyone take RSM lists with any seriousness? That list was absurd to read through.

[@jeffdwyer1655]

Rolling Stone is as irrelevant as the R'n'R Hall of Phlegm.

[@Vigilante311]

Rolling stone is a bunch of shit, I bet they don't have wes montgomery or joe pass on there either

[@pablomiguelfrancisco4116]

RS Magazine.....does it tell you something?

[@Green-Bean1]

RSM has been a joke don’t feel too bad.

[@MrDaveaccord]

The greatest ever. Pioneer, innovator, and visionary on the guitar. A hundred years from now new musicians will be listening to his music in awe.

[@gregkiyuna6029]

Totally agree with you. Aloha!

[@scottloiselle3424]

Makes me wanna cry. Seriously. How could one of the greatest musicians who ever lived be so (relatively) unknown?

[@technical234]

he used the latest technology to the max, still contemporary after 40 years.

[@stevecharlton145]

Fucking great comment. Spot on

[@jfs70ss]

I'm a HUGE Pat Metheny Fan but remember reading the name Allan Holdsworth on the Jean Luc Ponty CD's I used to listen to back in the day. Never really got into his solo stuff but am enjoying it. RIP Master Musician

[@jcjc5702]

above your pay grade

[@adammassacre4715]

Allan may look like a bus driver from a council estate in Liverpool circa 1982 but jeez the dude can certainly jam :)

[@pieroaycart785]

Grande Allan

[@BrandonScottFox1]

What an Outstanding player....simply amazing playing.

[@JoaoMSimoes]

Beautiful

[@nanoareva83]

no words...VIVA ALLAN'S ART (AND LANDS)

[@jcjc5702]

[@elementallobsterx]

5:25 gorgeous bright change

[@DrummerJulian]

[@meherenow793]

and sounds better than most music in the present 😞

[@servouk]

the best to ever do it

[@stevecharlton145]

Check it out stoned. It's technically brilliant and amusing. Hard to describe

[@seekah1]

no

[@jimmythebold589]

nice compilation, thanks!

[@saulobattesini50]

Incomparable master !!

[@elementallobsterx]

0:41 kooky

[@elementallobsterx]

0:41 insane legato line

[@michaelweston2285]

oh yeah. baby-making music.

[@elementallobsterx]

5:08 mental.

[@ballinbalgruuf8198]

Why it sounds like each of them are following different metronomes

[@ZER0--]

It's in Jazz time.

[@neilsargentelli2449]

Way Back!!!!

[@elementallobsterx]

6:36 insane

[@jcjc5702]

Do you know if thats an actual song?

[@elementallobsterx]

@@jcjc5702unfortunately no. Id like to hear it too.

[@elementallobsterx]

More insanity 5:09

[@schultzdigital1]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@aaron5364]

Synth UI peaked right here

[@quantumtaint6326]

whats the first song?

[@johnmcminn9455]

So where is the synth axe now There should be a guitar midi controller with all 15 guage strings on it for ease of playing for arthritis sufferers

[@bazonics]

Trouble is it sounds like a £50 Casio keyboard.

[@theresnoway440]

it absolutely would if you were the one playing it

[@sopadeurubu3996]

how?

[@timhawkins2859]

Imagine how much better jazz would be if each musician in the band actually followed each other. Impressive abilities here, but it sounds like walking into a music store with 3 different songs going.

[@jimmywhyte7181]

dudes playing a lawnmower.

[@alexfetterhoff2147]

It sounds like shit to me..the whole video...😅

[@peace2652]

That thing sounds awful.

[@elementallobsterx]

Nah

[@mercuryorsomething]

it's meant to solely be a synth instrument, not a guitar

[@tfr2602]

Negative.

[@ZER0--]

Not only can the man play that thing, he can also drink it at the same time. Alternatively, you could say... He sucks at guitar

[@Samsgarden]

Never really liked the instrument.

[@Htiler]

What awful music.

[@snakefinger]

If Eddie Van Halen is opening doors for you…❌⭕️❌⭕️

[@Oberheim.OB-XA]

Van Halen foi aluno do ALLAN

[@jacquesfinster5034]

@@Oberheim.OB-XA Talvez ele quis dizer sobre mercado pois Van Halen batalhou pelo Allan, fez a Warner contratá-lo para um disco etc...Eddie foi muito humilde e legal pois no auge de seu nome, todos falando dele, ele só falava no Allan e assim, muitos foram comprar os discos dele. Musicalmente é claro que não, Allan foi uma inspiração para Eddie.
