    At a certain point if you don't have hands the size of Allan Holdsworth your playing just sounds like percussion. He obviously worked hard on his picking technique, but I found his actual music (from the MySpace and presumably the end of this video) extremely dry and inarticulate...

    • Finding technical masters who are also extraordinary in their artistry and creativity is a rare thing.harlequino
    • I don't think he's reached technical mastery. Speed yes, but articulation, rhythm, etc not really.ismith
    • Holdsworth is the man. I'm not a huge fan of fusion or shred guitar but he is a heavy player.MrRemote
    • But what you're saying is very true. I find Allan Holdsworth to be the best example of achieving both...ismith
    • Hah, didn't see your comment.ismith
    • Shawn Lane as well..although it took me a while to get into him...TheBlueOne
