I had forgotten just how sick this dude is on guitar. I remember having a cassette of his first solo record and man he was shredding all over the place! And now he's applied it into a jazz-fusion context with CAB. Tony Mac is a BEAST!!!
Been a fan of Tony for over 20 years, but I've never seen or heard him do jazz improv. This little nugget is some of the best guitar lovemaking ever committed to video.
indulge me here, I'm thinking his time with Vai was tremendously worthwhile. It takes a truly great man to be so accomplished and recognized, then have the vision and humility to play a supporting role in the public eye in order to grow musically and deepen his relationship with the instrument.
You should hear tony on the new cab cd, Theater De Marionettes: brutal, awesome, and explosive. The disc is classic cab but with lots of new sounds and ideas and other musicians and instruments.
TMac continues to impress me! I've got nearly all his solo albums and am just now getting in Planet X (picked up Clinophobia some months back) and I've got to say, there's no ceiling with this guy!
I've never seen a guitarist as versatile as he is. He can do neoclassical, rock, jazz fusion or even progressive, and can sound completely different in every context! That's true skill. He makes me pick the guitar up and try again.
How can you people TALK OVER what's happening on the stage? That's why I don't like to go see bands in places like this sometimes! No respect for the artists!!!
Beautiful erotic music!!

Tony is kind of out of place in this genre of music. He needs a bit more practice.

This is more about how great Brunel is. He is holding it down rythmically and harmonically. Listen hard.

The amount of talent on such a small stage...is unbelievable. I'm surprised that the place didn't just spontaneously combust.
TMac deserves a much larger fan base than he has...
