It's no secret.
Fredrik Thordendal - 1997 said:-I don't really listen to alot of music, he confess. But if I sometime put an album on it's Allan Holdsworth. I think he's a guitarist that has everything. A totally own style, beautiful chords and an incredible soundcontrol. I'm also very interested in sounds and when I heard Holdsworth for the first time I decided that I also should find that sound. I spent every penny on the kind of equipment he uses. When I could afford a Mesa Boogie 50 Caliber Plus I was getting close. But if you're going to play with the same sound as Holdsworth you also have to learn his hitting- and legatotechnic. He uses the whammy bar alot to get tones from below and from above and I like that, it sounds so sad. But the thing I like the most about his playing is that it doesn't sound too much "guitarish". I'm so sick of hearing the old usual pentatonic scales.
