Subject: Allan Holdsworth s Looking Glass
=======================================================================
========================== LOOKING GLASS ==============================
========================= Allan Holdsworth ============================
=======================================================================
The structure of the tune is:
Head1
Ending1Head1
Head1
Ending2Head1
Head2
Ending1Head2
ThatBeautifulTheme1
Linkage
Head2
Ending1Head2
SoloSection (last time exit at the Ab#11...)
ThatBeautifulTheme2 (...and take this to finish solo)
Linkage
Head2
Ending1Head2
Head1
Ending2Head1
In terms of notation I ve written the chordal phrases in TAB;
the top line being the high E string in a standard tuning scheme.
The solo section is given in terms of harmonies. I d like to
share ideas with others about voicings in the solo section.
Enjoy!... and send me your Holdsworth charts,
snippets, comments, etc.
