Well, I for one could care less if anyone hates any style of music.
I love all styles of music from blues to real funk to rock to metal to progressive to fusion and jazz and on and on...
And I am a fan of Holdsworths technical abilities and own several of his CD's.
So I can understand if you are a Holdsworth fan, that you wouldn't like the more simple things in music like blues.
But after listening to that clip that you posted, it is extremely far from anything Holdsworth would ever play.
If that is even you playing, you start off in a BLUES scale with a few minor passing tones then do a typical run of the mill major/minor run that says nothing.
70% of this forum can play that and way better.
I personally can't stand Clapton, Hendrix or even Yngwie for that matter, but I respect everything they have done for the instrument.
Hell, I even hate the Beatles, but they were about the best song writers to ever walk the planet.
But it doesn't mean I have to like or listen to them.
And I wouldn't say they suck. I simply don't enjoy listening to them.
I usually have no problem with anyones opinions, even if it is intended to troll as yours was, but you sound like an ass hat.
I think that if you spent a little more time opening up your mind to any other styles of music, it will surely benefit you in your musical mishaps.
You may actually learn how to implement some feel, vibrato, dynamics and overall musicality to your generic sounding playing.
Take a listen to my friend Oz Noy.
He can easily hang with Holdsworth, but actually has feel and life in his playing.
Like I said, I like Holdsworth, but he is extremely sterile, boring and lifeless to just about everyone except Jazz Twats.
Good day sir.
Another convert!! Join the club!
