Allan Holdsworth passed away today. He was easily one of the most influential guitarists in rock history. You may not be familiar with his music but he re-conceptualized what is possible with the guitar. His influence in the rock, metal and fusion genres is profound.
Personally I was never a fan of his writing. I always thought of him as the ultimate sideman. His work with UK, Soft Machine, Tempest, and Bill Bruford helped shape a generation of guitarists.
