Yes. Both McLaughlin and Howe knew that Holdsworth was on an entirely different level.

Eddie Van Halen famously named Holdsworth as his favorite guitarist.

That's not necessarily good endorsement.

Some classical music snob might hate the avant garde but can still teach me why one string quartet is better than another.

And maybe part of it did go over my head that's why I asked the questions I did.

This ain't about what "chula" thinks about Holdsworth. Use google for christ sakes.

Eddie Van Valen
Joe Satriani
Steve Vai
Steve Lukather
Dweezil Zappa
Alex Lifeson
Scott Henderson
John McLaughlin
Alex Machacheck
Jimmy Page
Steve Morse
Al DiMeola

Just to name a few.....

I guess Joanie passed away. I thought she was older than 59.
