A comprehensive study of Allan Holdsworths improvisational ideas, patterns, scales, charts & tunings
Hey everyone! Finally, after 19 months I finished this massive video. I had no idea it would be over 5 hours long, so I suggest treating it like a “video book“ in a way. Feel free to download it and do whatever you want with it.
*UPDATE* As of 4/8/2023, there is now a PDF version of this entire video with all examples, scale charts, quotes, photos, everything for $35 at my ejunkie website, as well as other Allan Holdsworth related study material

If I sound a bit weird in it I apologize, it took me 11 hours to record all in
one day.
This was a culmination of transcribing lines from almost 40 years of Allan
Holdsworth solos and what I learned from it. The idea on making this video was to make YOU more comfortable with your own playing, and perhaps take some ideas and make them your own.
The video has 946 examples, but that’s just about a third of what I transcribed.
In the end it turned out to be 34 files, 189 solos, 629 pages, 6,804 measures and 2,302 lines.
If you would like to send me a donation for my work, you can here:
Thank you so much for all the kind words and support you’ve all given me. Doing this is the best thank you I can give for Allan to help people understand his music better and also make people better players. This is my masterpiece of teaching in a way with everything i’ve learned myself in 25 years of playing.
Thank you!!!
