Holdsworth, most influential of all time.

Moreso than Hendrix? Confused


no-- in fact for large scale influence, less so than Page, Beck, Van Halen and quite a few others  ..partly because few could approach what Holdsworth was doing.. or even had any idea of what it was exactly

Indeed, Holdsworth has the distinction of influencing the greats, who in turn influenced WAY more than Allan.

Holdsworth it's not even close. I love studying his stuff. I got this book by him called For the Curious and it had some pretty interesting things (9 note scales, many interesting holdsworth licks etc..).

He's such a huge influence to all rock music.

Just wondering, what do people think of Marty Friedman? Although these days there are many "hyper shredders" out there, like Franceso Fareri, Jeremy Barnes etc, who certainly have greater levels of technical skill, i have always thought Marty Friedman put his still very vituosic technique to great use, usually even better than many people with superior technical skill. The level of emotion displayed in his playing is simply astounding IMO.

I only listened to his last solo album, and his works with Megadeth. I love his riffing.

Jimi Hendrix, purely for shredding the guitar manual and doing his own thing with the instrument.
Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused?
