Damn that’s some awesome playing!!! Didn’t know semi holo/ holo body could sound that awesomely good:D

Great shot! I didn't expect this Ibanez to sound this nice, in fact

Brian Sand you sound amazing! The other too of course, but as a trumpet player, I was really amazed by the trumpet player! Great work!

In a career of impossibly brilliant solos, this might be my very favorite one and I've heard nearly all of them. Kudos for the metrical phrasing in the transcription. Holdsworth wasn't an avant prog odd meter freak, but he never played straight up-and-down time, either. Dripping with soul and emotion over all those abstruse chords.

I saw Alan in 1982. He wasn't this good then.

Well, you probably got most of the notes right. But you copped out when you have these groups of 31 notes to measure without actually figuring out how he’s breaking it up. So your rhythmic notation is pretty shotty. Also, without understanding how the place is the notes on the strings, it doesn’t really have much meaning to any other guitar player except for is a way of understanding his no choice. So he did a good job in getting the notes but that’s only 1/3 of the story. The rest of the story is getting the correct rhythms, and then listening to his phrasing, and figuring out how he laid out on the strings.

Best tune, been playing along to the record. I didn't catch that it switches to 6/4 3/4 5/4 etc. How cool

every so often I'll come and listen to all your music while I go about my day. there's something so beautiful about it all.

wow this is so gorgeous, i don't think ive heard something like this before and it's amazing. performing outside really adds so much to it too

Thank you for a wonderful transcription! So much to say about this amazing genius. The Master, Allan Holdsworth. I was lucky enough to witness his performance live twice in NYC's famous, but now closed, Bottom Line (right across the street from NYU). The band line up was: Wackerman, Johnson and Pasqua so, this was the early 1980's. Post Jeff Berlin and in between "Road Games " and Metal Fatigue." I was just blown away by the sheer amount of musicianship that was happening onstage. I will never forget him and I still listen to his music every day. He is now of the ages. RIP Allan Holdsworth.

beautiful

poor bassist

There's something so mysterious about his playing on this tune. Allan always hit notes and played lines that seemed to pull me in an undiscovered emotional place musically. He searched for undiscovered phrases and the takeaway was always something so perplexing and emotionally complex. Almost like I'm not quite sure how to feel his playing sometimes, but the more I listen over and over again I begin to really hear something truly interesting and rich.

Nice composition and performance!

Awesome transcription! Love Alan’s playing. So different in so many ways. Thanks for sharing !

This is so strange yet I think I am starting to get him.. I like a lot of stuff but I love the blues and rock do its seemed too out there to me, somehow I even like watching music I don't like sometimes, and commenting you learn stuff, this is crazy though, I played for thirty five years and am just like... wth lol

Very well done!

Such a great performance!

We'll done.

Fantastic. One of my favourite Holdsworth solos. It is breathtakingly beautiful. Thanks for uploading the transcription.

This is awesome!

Amazing

Smooth bassoon

That's some satisfying sound design there bud

Please record this! It is wonderful!

It's a shame how many people will dismiss Allan's playing at first listen and therefore never get to hear any of this incredible, other-worldly music.

Hi Geoff, is there a way I can shoot you an email without the whole internet seeing my email address ? Please advise and thanks again sir.

Hi Geoff great transcription ! Is it possible you have a PDF of this ? I am studying some of Allan's solos and thus would help me to have it on paper where I can take/ make some notes for myself. Please advise and thanks in advance.

Great job! I love it!

the master

Something was off with the tempo. The drummer seemed to be off beat at various times, which confused the other performers.

Awesome transcription, this material is pure gold!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Respect

Thank you for your impressive work! Allan is for me Number #1...brilliant, period.

Incredible! Definitely a very different style from the original song but great nonetheless. The trumpet player was especially good

What a solo!!! Thanks for sharing the work of genius.

Yeah, Schoenberg and Bartok write beautifully, people moan about dissonance etc but there is real depth and beauty in their music [especially Shoenbergs violin and piano concertos]. You did really well here and it is nice to hear that you did something original and dissonant. I subscribed, excellent work Mr Li!

One of the most extraordinary sound painters.

Bars 39-42, otherworldly

Omg Love this Celeste is the game of the year

WOW

Awesome, Celeste is the best

this is fantastic <3

Interesting... and intriguing

Well done!! Thanks

That is seriously impressive. I don't think I could ever transcribe something like that. Good for you!

Very nice.....

it's alien!

wonderful job on a very challenging bit of composition. Each time I heard Allan perform, it was as if he had found a whole other set of expressive traits to embody his solos. Truly the genius of our lives.
