Was it really 44 years ago that they created these??

I think I was about 12 when I saw a poster of Vai and the shocking pink jem. Greatest thing I`d ever seen, before girls. Knew I could never be that cool ...

That's 1987 which is about right. All of a sudden all the guitarists who used Jacksons and Charvels and ESPs started using Ibanez such as Vai, Satch Paul Gilbert and Vinnie Moore. It was Holdsworth who first used an Ibanez super strat though back in 1985 when he dropped his own Charvels.

Is Allan Holdsworth one of those guitarists I should investigate? EVH certainly mentioned him in interviews, back when he gave a ____.

Hope your Birthday was FINE, IJ! A friend of mine got an Alan Holdsworth album back in the mid seventies, and I can say YES! Check him out!

Maybe there's a middle ground between having heard nothing at all and "buy all his solo albums ASAP". Appreciate the recommendation!

Listened to a few excerpts, and his playing really reminds me of Vai 's early solo work and his Zappa era, and Steve Morse's Dixie Dregs stuff, so that must mean AH influenced them, chronologically speaking. I can live with that. But you didn't tell me he was dead! One day I'll like a musician or band that might actually make another record...

Yeah he died a few years ago. And his output kind mostly stopped after about 2002. He did a lot of great stuff in the 70's with many bands Gong, Bruford, Soft Machine, Tony Williams and so on.

 

An album you might like to try is UK, it features Bill Bruford, Eddie Jobson and John Wetton along with Holdsworth. It's kind of a prog rock super group.

 

Try this song from that album this is from 1978:

Happy Birthday, IJ! :cheerleader: :gumby: :cheerleader: 44, eh? Wasn't that the number of Monty Python episodes? :wub:

That's next year! This year I am Dirty Harry's gun.

I'll see you in twelve months then, partner. :bang bang:
