This excellent book is not only a transcription about some Allan Holdsworth's material between 1976-1986, but a good reference of the master's thinking. It contains a current biography, a selected discography (just the records which allan is proud of),a lot of photographs, a detailed story about each song, and a humble "Holdsworthian View" of the revolutionary guitarist, who really transform the aproach to the instrument: His style not only consist in a fluid liquid legato interpretation of fusion scales but a total creative harmony landscape that has became a new language for others.The transcriptions are:
1. The Abingdon Chasp (from "One Of A Kind"),
2. Fred ("Believe It"),
3. Home ("Metal Fatigue"),
4. Letters Of Marque ("I.O.U."),
5. Shallow Sea ("I.O.U."),
6. Temporary Fault ("I.O.U."),
7. Three Sheets To The Wind ("Road Games"),
8. Tokyo Dream ("Road Games"),
9. The Unmerry-Go-Round ("Metal Fatigue"),
10. White Line ("I.O.U.").
This book is a "must read" for all the fan musicians of Allan Holdsworth. Is an outstanding document that helps to figure out the thinking and musical understanding of a real revolutionary genious!...
