As one of the most unique and respected guitarists in the world, Allan Holdsworth has influenced countless others, including legendary artists like Frank Zappa, Eddie Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen, Alex Lifeson and Steve Vai. In this one-of-a-kind DVD, Allan performs seven electrifying tunes with his band, which features keyboardist Steve Hunt, bassist Skuli Sverrisson, and drummer Chad Wackerman. Allan breaks down his creative use of scales and chord voicings in this video, and offers insightful suggestions as to how to go about creating your own unique sounds and chord voicings based on his simple, yet revolutionary, concept for harmonizing scales in intervals other than traditional 3rds. See incredible close-up shots of Allan’s amazing technique here, and enjoy the unique opportunity to learn from one of the all-time greats! Plus, this DVD features Japanese subtitles and an iPod-formatted file of the entire video.



Recorded, May 14, 1984 at Yubin Chokin Hall in Tokyo, Japan

I purchased his 1992 reh video when it came out. The ability to slow motion and stop the dvd would be real handy. The playing technique of his band is incredible. Chad Wackerman is surely one of finest drummers out there. He has the ability to play drum melody lines that are amazing.

The Secret Keyboard Controls of Youtube

J: Jumps back 10 seconds. Great if you didn't catch the words.
K: Play/Pause. (In case your space bar is broken.)
L: Jumps forward 10 seconds. Great if the introduction is taking forever.
M: Mute the audio.
(Isn't it neat how those four keys are all clustered together under your right hand?)

<-    -> (arrow keys): Rewind, fast forward
Home: Jumps to the beginning.
End: Jumps to the end.
The number keys work, too. You can press 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on to jump to points in the video at those percentages in.
0 means "the beginning." 1 means "10 percent of the way through." 2 means "20 percent through," and so on up to 9.

These keyboard shortcuts don't work in full-screen mode, by the way (except M for mute and space for pause). Still, they're great to know!

If your browser supports HTML5 you can opt into the experimental HTML5 video playback on YouTube. Not only will you get smoother video playback—goodbye Flash!—but you'll be able to speed up and slow down your videos.

The variable speed control is great for seeing things in slow motion. DIY and tutorial videos often go too fast and watching something in slow motion is usually better than having to watch the same section over and over again to see what is happening. Conversely you can speed up to make finding a section of a long video easier than hopping around from point to point trying to find it.

Visit the link below to opt into the HTML5 beta test. You'll need a browser that supports HTML5 like Chrome or Apple Safari to participate. Check out the link for more details and sound off with you opinion on the new video playback in the comments.

Here is a great cheat sheet for Alans UD Stomp from Yamaha, its got specs for his presets. This is an 8 delay unit, however, it gives you some good insight to what he had going on for his beautiful ambient work.
