  • Here's my attempt at one of Allan's most beloved solos.
    Go here for the transcription synced with the video
    Devil Take The Hindmost ( just drums, bass, and me ) The transcription is mostly Livio Lamonea's but I changed some fingerings here and there. I also had help from another Holdsworth expert, Brett Stine. He helped me with some improved fingerings as well. Thanks guys!

      Derryl,
      1 Peter 5:8 is in the thumbnail.
      Was Allan a Christian? I sure hope he believed in Jesus.
      Acts 16:31

    Masterpiece of a performance! You nailed it! It is an incredibly challenging solo and you not only got the notes, but all the nuances, vibrato arm techniques, harmonics and excellent phrasing throughout! This blew me away entirely!

  • @pobinr
    @pobinr 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    Allan invented a whole bunch of new phrasing. This isn't jazz phrasing. It isn't blues phrasing. It's allan holdsworth phrasing. Genius.
    And so accurately played here by you. I'm going to have a go at it. I doubt I'll play it as well though

    • @PaulRossi-rc1nt
      @PaulRossi-rc1nt 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The thing is reaching that level of harmonic complexity just improvising, without even care about what was happening with his hands on the fretboard... says it all. Sometimes we forget about this aspect, just being stunned at his speed. To me it has never been about the technicality, to be fair. I always try listening what he's creating from an harmonic point of view, the way he builds it. It's like and old friend telling you a great story in a very detailed way. Unique as the greatest classical composers were, pioneer of musical genres.

    which is definitely a FAN FAVORITE.🎼🎸well done.🎶

    • @LuxeFilmography

      Probably not. Holdsworth was critical of people learning his solos note for note instead of creating their own thing.

    Awesome, Derryl. Allan was featured in the Feb 1985 issue of guitar player magazine, and this song was on the “sound sheet” that month. (Sound sheets were thin, floppy, vinyl records that were stapled into the magazine and could be removed by tearing along a perforated line.) I wore mine out. I HAD TO figure out the line that starts in Derryl’s video between 0:55 and 1:03. I slowed it down by recording it to tape while playing it at a slower speed, and then bouncing it between tape recorders a few times. It’s the only portion of an Allan Holdsworth solo I ever figured out. It’s amazing to see the entire solo transcribed, and beyond this, the command of Allan’s vocabulary in general that Derryl has developed.

    • @derrylgabel
      @derrylgabel  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, I remember seeing that issue. Did you see the transcription that I pinned at that top and now also in the description?

    • @DaveCorsello
      @DaveCorsello ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@derrylgabel I didn't. I'll check it out. If I remember correctly, there was also a transcription in that issue of Guitar Player. But back then, I preferred learning stuff by ear, so I didn't spend much time on it. I did one bit of fingering that's different from what you do. On beat 2 in your measure 35, starting on the B natural, I did pull-offs down to A, hammer-ons to Bb and D and a pull-off to A. So all of the notes from beat 2 of measure 35 to the downbeat of measure 36 were played on the B string with just one picked note, the B natural. My goal was mostly to avoid going back and forth between the B and E strings with the pick. Relative to now, my right hand technique was slamming back then (I used economy picking exclusively). But even then, I couldn't have pulled off your cross-string picking when going from Bb to D to A in measure 35 at that tempo. This puts in perspective for me how well developed your right hand is.

    Hello, Derryl, absolutely amazing played! Fun fact, I sent my hand-notes to Livio Lamonea for the second solo part, I worked with dismantling that solo for two weeks, like 10 hours a day, and I thought I should go insane. But finally I had it. And Livio made a perfect transcript of it :) MIT also made a case of our cooperation on that solo, and I am so glad that it is made a proper transcription of it now in order so that everyone can learn how to play that masterpiece. And you nailed it, definitely :) Sincerely Jostein Odland

    Flawless. I’ve always looked up to the Metal Fatigue album. So now you have clearly mastered it, can you say if this is derived from one or more of his ‘ten most useful scales’?
