Book Review: Allan Holdsworth - Just For The Curious - Book/CD
Summary: 5 Stars
Though his music may not be for everyone, Allan Holdsworth is one of the world's greatest guitarists. That is reason enough why so few can play at his level, but guitarists in general tend to play much like other guitarists with relatively slight differences in technique, note choice, sound quality, etc, by which we are able to distinguish between them. Holdsworth is an exception, a masterful musician who happens to be a guitarist. "Just For The Curious" is a detailed outline of his absolutely unique approach to the instrument, showing how he crafts his unusual lines and arrives at chord voicings that just don't lend themselves well to typical chord-spelling and/or numbering analysis (b9b5, 13b9, M7#11, etc.) Of course, a well-placed b9b5 moves the world and Holdsworth uses these kinds of chords too sometimes but in this book he shows you how to generate those new sounding chord voicings that seem to be his alone and account for some of the singularity, power and beauty of his very original music. It will have you putting your fingers in places you probably never would have otherwise and saying "Ah, that's how he plays that!"..."Ow, how does he play that?" and "Oh, how can I apply this method to other scales and modes to create more of these new chord voicings?"
