Hi all.
Me and a friend decided to start an allan holdsowrth 'tribute' band. its more about getting really inside his playing and the way he writes. We are slowly transcribing tunes. next one will be devil takles the hindmost followed by non brewed condiment and city nights. more after.

if any bass players are in the northwest of england and are interested in this the email me! we're also writing stuff as well.

Must've been the lefty drummer's video cam'? Laughing

That's a lot of effort to transcribe those chordal heads of his. Nice job. Sounds like you're managing to execute them, too. Well done.

Next step -- the solos! Wink

That sounds really great! You're guitar sound is pretty close to the Allan Holdsworth. I hope you guys find a bass player.
