One of my favourite Holdsworth passages. He was a master at creating and resolving tension in solos. Another excellent lesson, thank you

Thank you for this awesome lesson Pete, really appreciate it! Its really fun to play and a great insight into all the smaller parts that make these lines sound so pretty. What terrifies me (in a good way!) is how Allan would have improvised this line, it seems somehow perfect! Thanks again dude.

This is really fantastic!-- I love the way you demystify the line. I remember hearing this and for the life of me I couldn't figure out what he was doing. I really can't believe he's moving patterns around on the fretboard-- you can't even hear the pattern because of the way the odd number of notes partitions over the 16ths. How do you do your transcribing? Do you slow the line down with quicktime or VLC some other software?
@PeteCallard

Thanks very much, so glad you like it! I’ve also got another couple of Holdsworth videos on my channel you might like. Holdsworth used quite a lot of patterns but was brilliant at disguising them, I find him incredibly inspiring (& hard) to transcribe as he has a seemingly endless stream of great ideas. I use Amazing Slow Downer for transcribing, although there’s a few options on the market now

This is great. Do you think Allan uses Slonimsky intervals to add in the chromaticism or is it symmetrical scale patterns to sound outside? Sorry I'm just trying to understand how he plays outside then brings it back again. Superb playing!
@PeteCallard
4 жыл бұрын
VoodooDragon 76 thanks very much! Holdsworth uses different approaches to playing outside, from simply moving something up or down a fret (which is essentially what he does at the start of the line), to using chromatic passing notes & patterns (eg the five note chromatic pattern I mention which he moves systematically across the strings and up), to superimposing scales and arpeggios (eg the Bm(maj7) he outlines towards the end). The secret to playing outside successfully is resolving strongly; so for example on a Gm7, whatever strangeness you go into, ending up strongly back in Gm7 (eg outlining a Gm7 arpeggio or G minor pentatonic)

so cool! get excited about learning to improvise again. it would be really cool if you might make a video about how to apply this holdsworth chromatic lines into to our music. because it's very difficult for me to embed long chromatic lines in context. Sorry but What pickup do you put in the neck position? I'm interested in changing my Strat pickup. when you play that lick is it on the neck pickup or bridge pickup? sounds like on the neck pickup so it sounds very warm and clear. Thank you very much

Thanks for your suggestion, I’ll bear it in mind. I did a video showing how to take a Holdsworth line and adapt it to work over different chords called ‘Expanding On Holdsworth: 20+ ideas from one great line’ which might help... I used the bridge pickup for this video, as it’s what Holdsworth always used
