Allan is absolutely one of the greats, but credit is also due to the unsung Pat Smythe who died far too young. An exRAF pilot , he was a family friend , who had a fantastic ear for new talent. As well as Alan H, he gave Dave Holland one of his first jobs. He was the first person who told me to check out John Mclaughlin and a little later, Michael Brecker as new talents, when they were virtually unknown. Bill Evans, who he played opposite at Ronnie Scotts also thought highly of him as a pianist. So let's remember Pat Smythe, a very fine musician and a lovely guy.

It's not just practice, this guy's brain must have seriously been genius-level. Once in a lifetime player.

This just proves how far ahead Allan Holdsworth has always been,and what an absolute travesty it is that 42 years later,he has been reduced to crowd funding to support his latest release. There is no justice!!!!!!!!!!!

It's amazing how much of his insane technique is already present in 1974. Just hasn't arrived at his liquid tone yet.

As far as guitar playing is concerned, Allan Holdsworth was light years ahead of the game and his technique was so advanced beyond words, he truly was a once in a lifetime guitarist.

Allan Holdsworth's "54 Duncan Terrace" was written in tribute to Pat Smythe after his death. (That was Smythe's London address; they would play there together.) This is from a 1990 interview with "Guitar Player" : "My late friend Pat Smythe was a very inspirational character, a wonderful piano player, and a very musical, mellow guy. He played the nicest chords, and his technique was very delicate. He had this old Bluthner piano and got a great sound. His original tunes were always so pretty. I got the first four chords of this and said, "Man, that sounds like Pat.""

what an interesting insight into Allan's playing. some of his lines remind me of Joe Henderson's playing.

I remember meeting the young Holdsworth on the way to buy his first guitar from the music shop in Bradford. I gava him a lift on my Vespa and I got him there without incident.

The Coltrane of guitar!Pure genius

The sound of Soft Machine a year or so later. John Marshall's already there too.

Don’t forget about the great legato work of Ollie Halsall who played with Patto and later replaced Allan in Tempest.

Daryl Runswick’s performance is at a whole other level. I have not heard anybody else play like that.

I saw Allan the night his father passed away, I believe it was 1985 , he quietly came out and announced this to the audience, of about a hundred people, it was Chad and the IOU band at the golden bear in Huntington Beach California. I think many in the audience we're surprised he was going to go on with the show, but what those in that tiny nightclub experienced for the next couple hours was something wonderful surreal and ethereal. Seeming to take his emotions out through his instrument you were Awash in harmonious energy that was more than just sound. The greatest performance I've ever seen by a musician. I was a 17 year old guitar player, and was gobsmacked. His work on the first UK album, Jean-Luc Ponty , and the Tony Williams recordings, are legendary. An influence on every guitar player from Eddie Van Halen to Frank Zappa, Allan Holdsworth single-handedly rewrote the language of jazz guitar.
