This is late period Holdswoth, I saw him three times with IOU and he wasn't using his RH fingering picking for string skipping licks then... but the guy was so unreal... the best I ever heard or saw, and it wasn't even close
The choice of arrangement was completely at odds with what Allan would normally play over. That being said there are plenty of examples of standard typical styles that Allan has guested on over the years, including Pop, Metal, Blues etc. I understand that Allan may have had his drink spiked that evening, as he normally plays MUCH better than this. The guy was and is an absolute legend, that all the world class guitarists worship.
here alan is....all the other peices with dweezila re a bit awkward...but alan dially shines here...interesting that it took dweezil and eat that question to take alan out of his comfort zone where he actually does something new
I´m an alltime fan to the bone for Allan Holdsworth. But his here playing wasn´t at his level at all. It seems he only wanted to show these greenhorns his teeth, just for fun. Dweezil and Jamie duly fought back though.
For some reason I never cared much for Allan Holdsworth's playing. Probably the same reason I don't care much for Al DiMiola and many of the other guitarists who love playing ultra Largo 32nd and 64th notes. I slowed down a few of the recordings of the former two and noticed what they were playing didn't have a lot of substance. By contrast, listen to certain solos of Robert Fripp, John McLaughlin, Larry Coryell, Jeff Beck and late 1960's Frank Zappa (Uncle Meat, Hot Rats, Weasles Ripped my Flesh, Burnt Weeny Sandwich). Listen to Captain Beefheart's incredible 1969 album Trout Mask Replica. The two guitarists, Bill Harkleroad and Jeff Cotton structured music together on most of the songs. It is some of the most original guitar playing even recorded. Nothing has come close to this unique idea of double guitars playing completely contrasting parts, but together, it's astonishing.
@Andy Butler I know plenty about guitar. I'm 65 and I've played guitar most of my life. Here's a link to a song from my first album: ruclips.net/video/TLLyX5Hi77Y/видео.html
Improvising in multiple modes over changing time signatures is what Avant-Jazz/Fusion is all about. You obviously don't understand my music. I've had plenty of good reviews for that album.

Jamming with Allan is not easy. He is the boss!!!
Imagine having a grandad that could shred like Allan.
I think Dweezil is keeping up rather nicely!
some people just don't understand.
Two words that night with this epic jam? Pure magic.
Allan was Frank's fave. guitar player. He would be proud to see this gig. Btw, who is the third guitarist with the les paul?
I think Holdsworth has gone insane at this point. It's amazing what age can do to someone
Yeah, not for the average listener, though.
Very refined and unusual chords. His music puts me on a reflexive mood all the time.

the name of this song is Eat That Question, yes?
GOODS !!!!!!!!!!
Ive seen both of these guitar gods but never together.. WOW wow wow
This is very much unlike a Miley Cyrus concert.
yah what a creepy thing that was.. bad time for pop culture
Seems like Allan really enjoys playing off of someone else. In these Zappa gigs, He has such a big grin on himself just playing with someone else.
all artists like to play with someone else.
DZ has a sweet ass tone on this one.
like his dad. tube magic.

leftyfusion88 Jamie Kime 😉

Nathan Dodge Jamie Kime
Frank feels like such a nub here lmfao

@@andragg well, that was some pretty bad playing from you. Out of time noodling with no direction at all.

@Andy Butler Even though Holdsworth's playing doesn't do much for me, I still think he's a great guitarist along with Van Hallen and Steve Via.
you dont know as much as you think but who gives a flux
