Allan est sans aucun doute un grand compositeur- interprète, un titan ! Sa manière de jouer est toujours noble, son interprétation est vérifiée et profondément réfléchie ! Il n'a jamais imité personne, tout lui appartenait. Une prestation positivement inoubliable 🤠💥

No there will never be any other guitarist like Mr Allan Holdsworth I met him in Cleveland Ohio at the Winchester club and he's taught me a lot about guitar in general thanks to Allan I wrote a song influenced by him with the chords

This 2000s era holdsworth was his pinnacle. Sixteenth man of tain is just unearthly and flat tire is groundbreaking too. His soloing is the most fluent through this period. And his tones were more tight I feel. The Then! album is his best soloing for sure.

When I first heard Allan, I was 17-18 years old and wasn’t ready for him yet. Now that I’m older and have been playing for 20 years, I say with confidence that he is not only one of the greatest guitarists ever but also one of the greatest improvisers ever. A genius in the realm of John Coltrane, Ayden Essen, etc.

Rest In Peace Allan. I was 19 when I saw the Road Games tour with Berlin and Wackerman at a local club here in Tempe, Az. On acid. I also saw Metal Fatigue and Sand (on mushrooms). And again in 2007. Allan made a deep mark on my life. I'm so grateful for him. These were perspective-shifting experiences for me.

I don't even think you're exaggerating about the perspective shifting; Allan had that kind of power; beyond normal, and I can only imagine the effects of seeing him in that profoundly altered state. I saw him many times, but never while tripping; I did see Mahavishnu Orchestra on mescaline once; it was awesome but a bit tense! That sounds both exhilarating and terrifying; I love it!

@@Gregorypeckory Unreal. A jazz fan since the 80's, I JUST LAST WEEK started to listen to Mahavishnu for the first time EVER. Birds of Fire and Inner Mounting Flame. I can't possibly explain how I never got to them. Maybe fear. I've even seen Cobham twice (2nd time two months ago). Now I love them. I can see how there are some sharp elbows in the McLaughlin/Goodman riffs for some people, but from the right perspective it is breathtaking. Thanks Greg!

Here he still had "16 Men of Tain" CHOPS. I don't know what went wrong in this tune, but it had Allan smiling. Allan was like that. I smile when something goes wrong onstage. Allan even bites his tongue outwards tool. Allan apologizes to the audience during applause. In between shows he's practicing. It's difficult for Allan to play under bright lights and cameras. He took many years to front his own band.

Between 21' and 24'50 is beyond understanding. I Always wondered what kind of music would be played (if any) in the spiritual realms. For sure, this is the best approximation to the Music of the Spheres. Pure joy. We'll never know what Allan had on his mind, but it must have been really wonderful to be able to manifest it in such a brilliant way. More than music, it's a key to a spiritual path.

I hope people do not take my comment too literally, other than to realise just how magnificent Allan was (from the same hometown of Bradford as me too). Hard work, practice etc are one thing, but some people are just "wired" differently to everyone else, and so when looked at like this it can be regarded as natural born talent too.
