the better i get the more i realize he was just playing what he wanted and it came out that way.symmetrical scales and stupid legato fingerings is just how he hears and moves. his playing is as natural to him as yours is to you.
yeah, his style evolved over time but the essentials (lightning fast soloing with extreme legato) have been there all along. he's really self taught. he's been identifiably "holdsworth" forever. i'm scared for the future of music without people like him and zappa who obsessively went after "their truth" for lack of a better term, i feel like being saturated by information about technique and whatever is bad for creating this type of person.
