Coltrane played in his own way. He balked at playing like everyone else. He played the cords like he wanted and many, a very large group, were not on board. They said his tone was bad, and he just played a bunch of notes. In his later period he had a plan, not just playing notes, but still very hard for people to comprehend what he was playing.
Holdsworth abandoned the blues very early and played very advanced chords that made it harder to foiiow. A musicians musical so to say. He did things his own way and excepted the consequences. He was fine with only a few getting it. Also, nothing he couldn't do with a guitar. A real monster.
Thats what I was talking about with the comparison.
