The book includes a scale compendium that includes all 1,749 scales, every scale Allan would’ve logged. That is, every 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, note scale that is possible within the chromatic scale.
You also get the scales with any scale containing more than 4-semi-tones in a row removed just the way Allan did it. That totals 1,307 scales. You will also get 217 parent scales with names for each.
There is also a Holdsworth line compendium. The lines are categorized by scale. There is a voicing compendium; these are voicings from Allan’s tunes. There is also a Messiaen voicing compendium. These are not Messiaen voicings but voicings I found Intervallic structures for and walked through each of Messiaen's 7 Modes of Limited Transposition using Allan’s approach.
I put my heart and soul into it, and I really hope you guys dig it and come away with a better understanding of Allan and his music.
I know a lot of you have been waiting a long time for this, and I hope it lives up to all of your expectations. Thanks for all the support and encouragement over the years. It is greatly appreciated.
All the compositions composed by Allan are used by permission of the Holdsworth estate.
