Hope you like - a wonderful but sadly not very well known guitar player.
Best,

Hes Pritty good i hate that guitar tho.
Probably my all time favorite guitarist.
And still I can't play any of his stuff...hm!
Apparently his dad couldn't afford to give him a sax - so he got an acoustic guitar which probably is five times cheaper... Lucky us!
Think you are spot on about the sax for Holdsworth Kris - certainly he wanted (still wants) to emulate Coltrane and so on. The link for the compilation double cd - Against the Clock - is:

Alternity have some of his back catalogue as well (*sigh* I have early lp's - UK/Brufford/Metal Fatigue/Sand and so but on vinyl. Need to either cut them to mp3 or get the cds to listen to them.)
There is however a great internet site that has digitised downloads of jazz concertsfrom the 60s/70s/80s. I ncluding Holdsworth from the late 70s (Tony Williams late 70s and also Allan Holdsworth circa Metal Fatigue.) Don't know if its legal . I can paste the address Kris if you are happy that I do...
Also Holdsworth is guesting on 3 (maybe 4) tracks on the forthcoming PlanetX album:

should be good .
Kris and Andrew - every now and again when I think my chops are getting ok I listen to Allan and realise how far I have to go ( I can play some, or bits, of his stuff)- but what a beautiful (if, for me) long journey. The guy is amazing and inspirational; as is this site. Keep up the good work - v much appreciated.
Cheers,
