Holdworth is more fusion,
But how do you define prog rock?
I know where you’re going and I agree. I could add a lot more to my list of favorites but I didn’t want to go overboard. I’d do a whole ‘nother list of fusion with Jeff Beck, Holdsworth, Shawn Lane, Hellborg, etc. But they all could go under the broad umbrella of Prog.
Ever go to any of the Prog festivals? I’ve done Prog Day at Chapel Hill NC once and NEAR Fest in Bethlehem PA and Trenton NJ about 4 times. Nektar played at the last NEAR Fest I attended. Best concert I ever saw.
