His 'Synthaxe albums' (Sand, Atavachron, etc) are the shit - the guitar solos on them should put that to rest anyway - and if you dont love them, your an idiot. I have spoken.

I noticed right away that Shawn Lane seemed influenced by Holdsworth, but who knows, maybe he never even heard Holdsworth. HEH I do love Shawn Lane much also. Especially when he got real and started playing shit like 'Time is the enemy' with Jonas Hellborg on bass. Great crew that was. Shame Shawn passed away so early. He was a really great guy as well.

His synthaxe stuff is beyond boring but his early work fantastic. Proto Cosmos is the "Free Bird" of fusion. The Binary Code suck but Allan Holdsworth is a phenomenal musician.

It's quite important for phrasing lengthy 32nd note passages. I also use it when I play difficult chamber music with polyrhythms in the other instrumental parts, so that way our general pulse and any chordal progressions can be heard more clearly.
