In this vid, Holdsworth says he made the guitar sound how he wanted it too. Fucking beast
It is both a breath of fresh air and also very humbling at the same time.

I really wish there were more autobiographies from guys like this.

It's funny, I was watching the 14 position review video last night. At one point when Pebber is ripping through the exercise with the tone he had I thought hhmmm! That sounds just like a saxophone. I knew some great players who used horn books to practice from, also violin books.

Is there any blues, rock song from him out there? Cant find anything....(like Hendrix cover or something - cant believe he plays only Jazz his whole life without showing other stuff)

A very young Holdsworth with Soft Machine. Some of this is very rockin, some jazzy and some is just plain alien! He's a monster
