Allan Holdsworth (6 August 1946 \u2013 15 April 2017) was a British jazz fusion and progressive rock guitarist, violinist and composer.<\/p>\n
Holdsworth was known for his esoteric and idiosyncratic usage of advanced music theory concepts, especially with respect to melody and harmony. His music incorporates a vast array of complex\u00a0chord progressions, often using unusual chord shapes in an abstract way based on his understanding of “chord scales”, and intricate improvised\u00a0solos, frequently across shifting tonal centres. He used myriad\u00a0scale\u00a0forms often derived from those such as the\u00a0Lydian,\u00a0diminished,\u00a0harmonic major,\u00a0augmented,\u00a0whole tone,\u00a0chromatic\u00a0and\u00a0altered\u00a0scales, among others, often resulting in an unpredictable and dissonant “outside” sound. His unique\u00a0legato\u00a0soloing technique stemmed from his original desire to play the saxophone. Unable to afford one, he strove to use the guitar to create similarly smooth lines of notes. He also became associated with playing an early form of\u00a0guitar synthesizer\u00a0called the\u00a0SynthAxe, a company he endorsed in the 1980s.<\/p>\n
