Does anyone know who Allan Holdsworth is?

[Nighthawk]

A Korean minister I know suggested I check this fellow out and I found him to be the greatest guitar player of all time, even better than my previous opinion, John McLaughlin.

He doesn't seem to be well known, so I wondered if anyone knew about him. If you haven't, go ahead and listen. I think you should buy his albums and not download though, as they're enough of a work of art it's like running off DaVinci on a laser printer.

Allan Holdsworth is awesome. One of the kings of fusion jazz guitar. Metal Fatigue and The Sixteen Men of Tain come highly recommended from me (as it's the only stuff of his I've heard so far. )
