ALLAN HOLDSWORTH (jeez. Allan Holdsworth is gone.) "The Man Who Changed Guitar Forever", as a Guitar Player cover story once said. And it is completely true. There is no denying the gigantic influence and stylistic change he brought to music in general and to the electric guitar specifically, No guitarist was unaware of him and at least superficially influenced by him, if only by his fearsome technique. Bill Bruford on playing with Holdsworth: "For several years in the 1970s, through my own band and 'UK', I listened to him nightly, launching sheets of sound on an unsuspecting audience, changing perceptions about what guitars and guitarists should or could be doing, thrilling me half to death. I would have paid to be at my own gig." --- This is a solo from the Soft Machine album/DVD, 'Switzerland 1974' (Cuneiform Records) You can currently purchase 'Switzerland 1974', here: Amazon: http://amzn.to/2fk9J1A Bandcamp: https://cuneiformrecords.bandcamp.com/album/switzerland-1974 Wayside Music: http://www.waysidemusic.com/Music-Products/Soft-Machine-Switzerland-1974-CD-plus-DVD__Rune-spc-395-396.aspx
