Allan Holdsworth - Easy (ish) Pentatonics guitar lesson - Sound like the Jedi Master

In this lesson I break down the 'Holdsworth' pentatonics and give an easy (ish) overview of his style and a few harmonic ideas. I'll go over his more 'outside' ideas in part 2 (coming soon).
No Holdsworth is easy, but there are a few consistant tricks and patterns you can spot if you listen hard enough. These ideas can yeild some interesting sonics that you can 'borrow' for your own style.
If you want to get into Holdsworths legato style it's best explained by the likes of Tom Quayle, Sam Bell or Marshall Harrison, so check these guys out.
Here is the accompanying video of me improvising in the stlye of Holdsworth using some of the ideas in this (and part 2) video
