Found this on the Frank Gambale message board - Allan Holdsworth's solo on the Derek Sherinian track "Day Of The Dead" (from Sherinian's Mythology album) is one of my favorite Holdsworth solos in recent years. Guitarist Francesco Artusato has written a fantastic analysis of the solo for the website Guitar Messenger. Working from a transcription by Charlie Shaughnessy, Artusato plays the solo perfectly and breaks down its harmonic and technical aspects. Well worth checking out.

Holdsworth is consistently amazing in his ability to deliver incredible solos irrespective of musical context.
