Allan Holdsworth - Reaching for the Uncommon Chord

Allan Holdsworth Reaching for the Uncommon Chord PDF. Full transcriptions of Holdsworth's original composition and performance notes complete with photo/ biography section. In notes and tab. This excellent book is not only a transcription about some Allan Holdsworth's material between 1976-1986, but a good reference of the master's thinking.
It contains a current biography, a selected discography (just the records which Allan is proud of),a lot of photographs, a detailed story about each song, and a humble "Holdsworthian View" of the revolutionary guitarist, who really transform the approach to the instrument: His style not only consist in a fluid liquid legato interpretation of fusion scales but a total creative harmony landscape that has became a new language for others. The transcriptions are:

• The Abingdon Chasp (from "One Of A Kind")
• Fred ("Believe It")
• Home ("Metal Fatigue")
• Letters Of Marque ("I.O.U.")
• Shallow Sea ("I.O.U.")
• Temporary Fault ("I.O.U.")
