Holdsworth was cited as an influence by a host of rock, metal and jazz guitarists such as Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Greg Howe, Shawn Lane, Richie Kotzen, John Petrucci, Alex Lifeson, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Yngwie Malmsteen, Michael Romeo, Ty Tabor, Fredrik Thordendal, and Tom Morello. Frank Zappa once lauded him as "one of the most interesting guys on guitar on the planet", while Robben Ford has said: "I think Allan Holdsworth is the John Coltrane of the guitar. I don't think anyone can do as much with the guitar as Allan Holdsworth can."

 

Allan Holdworth는 뮤지션들의 뮤지션쯤의 위치에 있었던 거 같다. 그래서 그런지, 테크닉을 모르는 나같은 일반인들이 좋아하기는 쉽지 않은 음악인 듯 하다. 위 2장의 앨범을 들어보았지만, 내가 즐길 수 있는 음악은 아니었다.
