Allan Holdsworth/Devil Take the Hindmost. I remember having Guitar Player Sound Page recording and a transcription. Couldn’t figure it out, and at that time probably couldn’t have played it anyway lol Fast forward approx 3.5 decades, and still can’t play it but I’m closer than I was! Using my ESP GH-200 (modded with ESP LH-150 pickups)>Boss SD-1>Blankenship Plexi>Ho attenuator>Jet City iso cab. Hope you dig it!

 
Great job! Tone is good for it and the whammy work adds a nice touch. Lotta notes there.
 
awesome job holmes! both performance and tone are on point here, now I have to take a crack at my favorite holdsworth solos/compositions.

thanks man!! good luck! he’s got some crazy patterns!! I was playing licks at 30% speed for a while lol
 
So good!!! Love it. You are to be commended for the playing and tone. Freeking killer!
 
That sounded great! Wish I could get a bit of that outside playing to mix w/ my own.

Thanks Carl!! Yeah this was interesting to learn! The bass is just basically in like a G pentatonic scale, which let’s Allan put all these weird notes in lol I would put it in the slow downer, fast parts at like even 30% speed and it was real cool to hear it that slow and see how the notes create that “Allan” sound :)
 
Great job on that. Years ago I asked Shawn Lane what his favorite song was and it was Devil Take The Hindmost.
