Allan Holdsworth - City Nights | Axe FX 3 

Beautiful Derryl!🙏🏻🙏🏻🔥🔥

I have been listening to Holdsworth since I was in middle school back in the 70’s, and this video brings me to tears because it makes me feel like Allan is still here with us!

One of the most impressive guitar performances I ever saw. Not so many people in history could learn and perform this.

Another stunning performance! Folks, this took him 2 weeks to master from start to finish! Just wow.

Great playing and tone.😮

YOu gotta open this bottle of beer, man😂

Man! Killer job. This whole album is just un-human.

I was lucky enough to see Allan live before he passed. Getting to watch you play brings it all back. Thanks Derryl!

You're the One. Just tell your students this tune is only the first lesson. Things become wayyy more difficult on week 2 😂👍👍

Incredible! What a terrifying solo to take on and you didn't even slow it down. I am truly amazed! HOLY SMOKES!

Thank you very much for this performance Alan still alive......I like this tracks since many years ago From Paris in France.

1:48 captures one of the things that always blew my mind watching Holdsworth play. A descending line of notes while his hand moves *up* the neck. It's like moonwalking for guitar.

You are an incredible player. The best holdsworth covers ive heard.

Bravo! Looks like a giant spider crawling up and down that neck which is meant to be a huge compliment! 🙏 incredible

This was like hearing City Nights for the first time again. Phenomenal DG!

You never fail to blow us away!!

It's amazing that you can do a masterful, 1:1 rendition of the entirety of the City Nights solo, yet still manage to flub the note at 02:02. It's such a musician thing to do, I love it.

Incredible! 🙏😍

I keep coming here, and I'm always soooo impressed!

Thanks for posting. One of my favorites by him. Amazing job!!!

My goodness spot on wow 😮

Nice job dude. You make it look so effortless to hammer out these insane jazz fusion Holdsworth licks. Absolute masterwork.

I could watch this forever

RIP Allen , grat playing mate, Love always to A. H ! I also played HOme, at my examination on HighSchool, in 1989 :)

Outstanding

Fantastic!

Gorgeous

This is incredibly wonderful. Good God.

Flawless!!!!

Dang, that was excellent. Loved the sound too. Very smooth.

Damn! Allan would be proud, great job!

BRILLIANT COVER.................REALLY ENTERTAINING.

Flawless and inspiring, as usual! Just watching the fluidity and efficiency of your left hand is a lesson in and of itself. Thanks for sharing this with all of us who have always wanted insight and instruction on the great AH's music!

Light speed fingers Easy movements, fluid in motion Channeling Holdsworth Allan's artistry, lives thru you Guitar sound is amazing, too LOVE IT! 😁👍🎸

It flows so well, fantastic!

Perfect, Mr Gabell!

Superb. Absolutely spot on!

Absolutely amazing!One of my favourite Allan`s tunes.Great job, Derryl!

Thank you for inspiring the rest of us. You put out a lot of useful lessons and I've learned a lot already. I've been doing the finger horizontal stretches but still the 3nps pentatonic/ 3-1-3 shapes are taking a while to get used to. It's really exciting though! Like you said the 2nps shapes lead to bluesy phrasing often and I want to play more wizardy stuff like you can. I can already tell that integrating it with my economy picking style and sweeps will take me to another level of artistry. being able to play this music must be a blast and someday I'll know the feeling!

Stunning!

You deserve a beer. Amazing!!

Whaaaaat am I hearing??? Did Allan have unknown siblings, relatives, the milkman ? THANK YOU for placing that soaring perfection back in my heart ! I have seen Allan many times live. This is awesome! Peace from Detroit MI.

WOW........My word unbelievable........anyone that can pull this off is exceptional........Mass Respect mate x

Man you are insane!! so clean!!

Bravo Derryl! This is just amazing! I can’t believe how good this is!

Man, that was a hell of a ride. Love it!

Fantastic! And it reminds me also what a great composer as well as musician that Gary Husband is.

Damn, spot on my man!

great tone and playing Derryl! Inspirational. Love Holdsworth

💪🏼😎🎸 Nailed it! So good! Nice work maestro!

Awesome as always!

Unbelievable! Very well done!

Amazing! Great performance! I forgot how much I love this album. Have a great night.

Amazing job

That's wonderful!

That was wonderful, thank you for sharing! I am amazed when someone like yourself can work so hard to honor the work of someone like AH. The dedication and effort is remarkable.

Those beers at the end are for you! Off to the pub! I love the thicker chorusing. Allan would hoist pints with you.

This is unbelievable. It's as good as the real thing. Well done.

Perfect rendition !!! Very impressive, thanks mr Gabel !

Amazing job!!! 🙌🙌

Great Derryl!! Perfect as always!

Your tone and feel is amazing Derryl.

Phenomenal work as usual Derryl!

Once again …..”Outta Da Park”. Love it!

Deserves more views, amazing performance good sir

You're such a monster. !!! Fantastic as always Derryl !!

gorgeous.. I love it... nice phrasing... and also the noise/steps of the cat or dog or whatever at the end :-P that makes it all so real and even better

I just realized how inside the solo is. When you see Derryl playing it, you can see it's all pentatonic with a few chromatics between.

Amazing performance !!!

Outstanding Derryl! It’s always a joy to see and hear you play. That’s a beautiful new guitar too.

Great as usual! 🤟🤟

Killer job.

One of my favorite tracks from Allan played with incredible finesse. I hope to be able to play like this one day

Amazingly beautiful phrasing

Tightest one I’ve heard from you yet… nailed it. 🤘

Amazing as usual!

Doing justice to the great man himself once again. Thanks Derryl!

outstanding!

OMG blessings to you !

Phenomenal Derryl! Your tone sounds even better too, a more pronounced even midrange with a little beter note separation. Blessings to you and thanks for another great video! - John M. (Michigan)

Awesome take :)

Awesome!

Impressive as always! Making Allan’s music justice is not an easy task…
