Biography
Bradford, Yorkshire, England (1946 – present)
He is known for his unusual technique, which is filled with unusual chord voicings and legato melodies of great harmonic sophistication. Many guitarists, including Eddie Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Vai have lauded him as a master. He has also been a pioneer in the use of guitar synthesizers like the Synthaxe which was used extensively on his albums Atavachron and Sand . Holdsworth was also Frank Zappa’s favorite guitarist.

clearly the most technically and armonically advanced and guitar player ever. I can say Gambale (and i appreciate Gambale a lot) is a newbie in comparison.
