He was really something.
Reading what other guitarists had to say about him is really amazing. McLaughlin said if he knew what he was playing, he'd steal it. Zappa thought he was no match for his inventiveness. I think I saw him live in the 70's with Jean Luc Ponte.

originally thought this was Alan Hawkshaw
watched Holdsworth being interviewed about writing and professing his disgust for boring major chords, he wanted to add spice to everything he touched. really inventive guitarist

I saw him in the eighties with Derek Wadsworth
I was in the front row and I swear to god after about 20 minutes of improv he leaned out from behind the pillar (where he spent the whole set hiding), and whispered "what song are we playing?"
