Tony MacAlpine More Than Enough

[humblejumpify]

One of the most underrated guitar players of all time!!

[ClaudioMariola]

what a fantastic song, playing it for the 4th time now...

Tony should have put it on his record!!

[MrKillerAkuma]

Man tony should sue Arch enemy they stole his lick in 2.12 in this video and used it from thier bridge part of thier song called blood on your Hands

[matalmike]

I could smoke this guy..............If i knew how to play guitar and had big suspenders.

TONY RULES!!!!!!

[alkleiza1995]

omg he totally beat steve vai in that guitar battle @ g3

[headkickerIII]

@alkleiza1995 i'd say he fast picked the shit out of him, steve vai played mostly legato and went crazy with wah not as amazing as we all know he usually plays

[JAT763]

Mullet meets Jheri Curl, an epic do for an epic musician

[axebats]

jeff beck

[lollygaggle]

Poor love had to borrow one of his dad's vests. Guitar playing obviously doesn't pay too well.

[WhomDoYouServe]

He's got "More Than Enough" mullet!!!

[splattyfish]

Amazing song : ). Should be released on a CD along with other great songs from his instructional videos.

[ExtremeBogom]

0:00 - Macalpine has the chipmunk expression.

[Stevo4411]

is he using a harmonizer or is that just a recorded guitar in the backround? 0:47

[Rhamsody]

the hook is very head bangable. Tmac rox, cant wait for the new album.

[UnknownSect333]

Wow... He's like a black MAB. But I prefer this guy over MAB.

[sevensecondsdeep]

anyone know who's drumming here?

[ROCKINJAZZMETAL]

Ha ha hes so wicked awesome. He plays with steve vai now on his tours.

[dsf4444]

back in 86/87 there was an instructional vinyl in Guitar Player Magazine by Tony, I think the name of the song was 'Birds of Prey'

Does anybody know how to get a hold of this or can anyone who has it PLEASE post it?!??

[ContraBluePants]

@dsf4444 I'll post it in the next couple of days if I get a chance.

[faustoj26a]

If anyone have this song tabbeb pls contact me!!!!!!!!!!!

[Govanmaniac]

He's also fantastic on planet X!

[wilz373]

the musics pretty "tight"

[Malmsteen1990]

Just listen 2:38 - 3:30 *0*

woow that chord progression sounds really magical =D

[vanhalen515084]

seen he was playing keyboards for steve vai on a g3 tour, he was probably the best guitarist there, just amazing, and listen to him play classical piano, his first album edge of insanity rocks, the first song i heard from him was birds of prey, a 45 out of a guitar mag, someone put in on tape, we all thought it was malmsteen, cool stuff

[dragnrider9]

whats the guitar he is using so awesome!!???

[ndonato2]

@dragnrider9 the headstock suggests it's a Kramer. But it could also be a Carvin which is what he's using these days.

[dragnrider9]

@ndonato2 well it could most likely be a carvin,that what i thought too but it looks jus t a bit to sharp,so maybe custom headstock for him,or another brand idk?

[BrianAllicks]

@dragnrider9 : I think it is a Peavey Destiny.

[inspectorcal]

@BrianAllicks your spot on,,its a peavey destiny

[racerced]

@dragnrider9 it's a peavey destiny

[onerizle]

@cory0313 LOL

[MUYA123SLAYER]

this new youtubes bollocks, great song

[Jizmunky]

aint no satriani

[Ibik]

where can i buy this?

[gillenh2o]

what album is this song from?

[catapei]

read the description of the video

[h0tsex0r]

I have always liked TMac, and I was amazed by his keyboard solo at the Vai show. However, I want to hear better tone and more conviction.

[jimmyboy131]

@h0tsex0r

I thought he sounded great.  Here he sounds better than most shredders. His tone is almost like Eric Johnson, and I like Johnson's tone.

[NOTEWORKERnm1]

@h0tsex0r You novice fucking hater bitch! That shit is so stupid i want to skin you alive and roll you in muratic acid and boil you in acetone ,but not let you die so you can slowly heal with no medical care in a basement somewhaere! Dumb fuck idiot comments like that deserve death! just can't leave well enough alone without saying some dumb shit like a novice wanabe would. Fuck you and go kill yourself NOW!!!!!!!!!

[guitarman069]

you can tell petrucci took some of his stuff from tmac ...like in 2:37 - 3:30

[Wildchild880]

love that bass 3.31

[SebasLeppard]

no se por que nunca lo grabó en cd u_u

[Wildchild880]

its so awsome an absolute marvel it really is. that song gets me high

[iGuitarified]

great music! this reminds me of iron maiden for some reason, i think its the bass

[souljaboystinks]

i wish shrapnel records were still around mike varney needs to make another shred label t-mac is still the man although i like jason becker a little better but who cares still great guitarists

[shadowknight132]

Shrapnel is still around.

but I do think Tony should make another album.

[PGspeed88]

Shrapnel is around, as was said, because I have Paul Gilbert's 2008 album Silence Followed by a Deafening Roar, and it clearly says "Shrapnel Records" with the little tank on the case and CD.

It would be nice to see another Tony album without that crappy Steve.

[ExtremeBogom]

This is seriously good

[iamuberced]

really good song

[blastoise0poliwrath]

TONY COME TO AUSTRALIA

[jockercyril]

bonne technique mais j'trouve ca pas super musicalement... non pas que je fasse mieux loin de la, mais j'trouve pas ca agréable a écouter... bref j'aime pas trop...

[Wildchild880]

the man

[shreder1500]

this song is called more then a lot

[ultimateguitar553]

I wonder if well ever get a band that mixes Tony MacAlpine/ Rusty Cooley virtuoso guitar with top notch songwriting

[vashbebop]

There already is. They're called Wintersun.

[iamuberced]

lolll are you crazy! XD 2 guitar virtuoso in the same band... usually its not that good musically :(

[emosucks89]

The term "virtuoso" is partly defined by being a terrible songwriter.

[YummyBananaFish]

Great bass playing on this too.

[ermijo]

its not album song

[sextenica]

sou----- Rael0505-  wich album of macalpine...have this song.....i wanna know?

Sorry for my inglis

[mitosinuca]

this song is perfect for some video game like f zero or megaman, great song

[ROCKINJAZZMETAL]

@mitosinuca I think this is toooooo good to be associated with a video game. It can stand on its own as a great work of music and art.

[S3bz3r0]

@ROCKINJAZZMETAL There's tons of awesome music in video games, and it sometimes makes them worth playing

[stevevaiisnumber1]

HIS THE MAN! MACALPINEE ROCKS!!

[Lydianshadow]

everyone stop with the theory talk. Just enjoy.

[SkippyJJ20]

Tony is back in Planet X!! Fuck yeah!!

[RanulfoKnox]

Is that for real???

AWESOME!!!!

[ryushiRj38]

Hell. Yeah. i've been wondering what he's been doing all this time for the past two years. But now he's back! I'm so excited!

[VanfHimself]

he has been playin with vai i think

hes awesome

[54spiritedwill54]

Nice!

[bielus86]

I just love his harmonic and mixing scales.

[ThisIsMusic92]

great song !!!!

[Rael0505]

Terrible how the interviewer said the wrong name of the song. *facepalm*

[Modes9]

This really isn't garden variety shred. I mean, the guy modulates through A minor, F# minor, G minor, E major...I'm not surprised he ended up in jazz/fusion. He obviously wanted to do more than linear E phrygian/major crap like everybody else.

[RanulfoKnox]

Totally agree. i just love tony's soloing for this, he sounds definitively different and better than the other shredders =)

great comment mate

[tinenefs]

Wizard....*_*

[fugitive1201]

haha. the interviewer said "This next song is called 'More Than A lot.'".

[rmsolympic1]

This is a pure early mid to late 90's macalpine SONG, with the guitar functioning as a singer. I expect within 2009 he will drop a new solo album or a couple of prpject albums (ie, devil's slingshot and cab).

[tak178]

This is from the late 80's after "Maximum Security" was released...circa 1988.

[rmsolympic1]

yeah,I think you're right; in the 90's he started putting out more fusion/progressive oriented records like premonition, evolution, and violent machine. Plus his guitar and clothes look like what he had on the cover of

Freedom To Fly (1992).

[tak178]

Around this time, he seemed to be still firmly in the "shred" category...in the 90's, as you said, he went the "prog" route.

[noximputesta]

at 0:48 I could totally see myself playing F-zero on SNES.

[yagamei]

Lol. You're the man for that comment!

[eddyh3493]

Tony is BAD @ss but, YEAH! I miss that game!

[mitosinuca]

very nice song, it sounds a bit like a f zero or a megaman song, wich is great cause i love videogame music, too bad he didnt recorded a studio version of this song

[theshortstop84]

damn... this song is awesome

[StoneBayChrist]

This song was originally composed for T-Mac's instructional video, which this is a clip of. Not included on any official release that I'm aware of.

[sinfonia11]

correct you are, good sir.

[vicminister]

it's doing playback

[tricuspid]

what guitar is tony using here?

[Decorus11]

if i am not mistanken it's a peavey

[tricuspid]

greg howe is the no.1 tony comes only in no.2

[rjcampa]

I like them both! But it usually seems like the jazz fusion players are just a step ahead of their instrumental-rock peers. Guthrie Govan, Shawn Lane, Howe.. all amazing! I love Tony too

[Xxd3cayxX]

lol this video is so 80's i can't believe you people dressed like this!

[sextenica]

what is the real name of this song ?

or at least can anyone tell me in what album is.....cause i dont find it yet.

[masterlech]

try not to be rude about other folks music tastes? Hah, that is a good one. What is this, A Christian Well Being Group? I take this stuff seriously because when I was 16 I thought it would be a good idea to go to the Edge Of Insanity. Folk need to told if they're a laughing stock. If you really want to check out phenomenal technique try some Heifetz -although the Pagannini stuff is about as lightweight as Mr McAlpine.

[MishuTaste]

That bass player was gettin' funky at 3:32.

[coffinfeeder2007]

amazing song, tony is badass.

[coas87]

great solo...

[toxickissduo]

What an amazing song. Incredible, has Tony ever recorded this, if not he should have, great melody and fantastic guitar playing as always.

[ryushiRj38]

i agree. i can't find this song anywhere but here. this must've been the 100th time i've seen this.

[MofH123]

Checked my albums and cant find it anywhere, but as mentioned in the detailed info for this video, Tony apparently recorded this for some instructional video only. The sound is like on the "Freedom to Fly" album, though :-)

[sixtring73]

I would definately agree with that! You have good ears my friend!!

[RanulfoKnox]

OMG i love tony's tone and feeling

hes nº 1 to me

[rmsolympic1]

ppl refer to him as a shredder a lot, sometimes derogatorily. although the negative connotations apply to some ' shredders, ' i think that that term is often just a way for less able musicians to feel superior to some truly talented ones.

[Lolerzzz69]

Shredding is having control over your instrument and being free of technical obstacles so your music is not limited by your playing ability.

[Practicedhatrid]

Nice!

[NOVAVALIANT]

TONY can do what ever he please's as he has sure as earnrd the right to as he is a pure legend.

[Ninjaro]

I'm sorry, but if you're going to play with a band and have it appear to be a live performance, don't use a backing track. Yea, he's a great guitarist and the solos are awesome, but the use of the backing track implies that he's not actual performing the song here.

[MarcelDufour]

Excellent player! New song 1373 here!

[Wh00terman]

Sweet melody there. :D

[Draugoth]

This sounds alot like some simple (in terms of chord structure and timing) Allan Holdsworth. Very groovy.

[hemiphil81]

its an ibanez road star 2.i have a red one just like it.

[Massoyer]

whoa that is definitely not a Roadstar II. I have a roadstar 2 from 1985. That's not even an Ibanez he's using.

[guitarhero41192]

its a bc rich gunslinger

[Dimerise]

What is his guitar ?

[kstrat]

The guitar is a Peavey Destiny if I'm not mistaken.

[wnrgoirj0pwrio]

This song is great and he is a amazing player. But there is a proove any one can make a mistake, even the best. Check out at the 3:46:D lol.

[ghosty422]

i dont think that that was a mistake it sounded like a nat. harmonic or something and it sounded good

[yagamei]

Man, this is why Tony gets it. Having grown up with a piano, he has a sense of harmony that is just top drawer, and from all the classical he studied, he is just DIRTY with his melodies. Like Satch, he knows how to format an instrumental song. It emphasizes a strong melody, without bogging it down with too many fills or added notes -- that's a conservatism found more often in Jazz than 80s shred. And as far as I know, T-Mac never put this on a record.

[TrayFree]

Drving beat, simple melody, and whatever mode he's using reminds me a whole lot of Joe satriani's CRYSTAL PLANET.

[jospatulani]

The opening bit reminded me a bit of Gamalon's RECURRING NIGHTMARE, but you're right, there is definitely some Satch in there.

Jo

[Yontar]

well considering the fact that they were basically around at the same time that does not surprise me. I think Macalpine is more interesting at improvising though, he may not have satch's tone, but he plays piano as well, so his melodic and harmonic knowledge is far superior to satch's.

[jospatulani]

This is fantastic, I'm shocked that I haven't heard this before!

Jo

[nsbucky]

his hair has boner power

[capital24]

exelent

[sextenica]

hey can anyone tell me what is the original name of tihs song .....?

[john0livetodie]

I LOVE YOU, T-MAC !

[Dedalusalley]

Nice. But I don't know...he's not rhitmically very strong, sometimes he just sounds out of the groove a little bit, and he's too stuck in the shred licks, they doesn't flow naturally like in Shawn Lane or Eric Johnson or Steve Morse playing, just to quote three of the greatest in my opinion. And well, I got to say I absolutely don't like the song!

[SlavesShallServe6]

You spelled "rhythmically" wrong...just to let you know...and you like the Dillenger Escape Plan, so your opinion doesn't count.

[Dedalusalley]

I'm italian, and although I can speak in english and understand it well sometimes a mistake can happen. Easy going dude. And just to let you know that you spelled "Dillinger" wrong. Oh and by the way musical tastes are subjective and personal, so try not to be rude with people having different tastes than yours. I just expressed my opinion, that's all ;)

[SlavesShallServe6]

Alright, I did overreact...I guess it just pisses me off when people say shredders have no rythm or feel. My bad =)

[lastwinj]

guitar = peavey destiny

[yjm308]

WHO do you guys think has a better alternate picking technique between only Tony Macalpine and Vinnie Moore? Tony or Vinnie?

[yjm308]

It depends, Vinnie usually just does triplets when picking fast, where as Tony does more of a 4 feel repeating patern on 2 strings like Paul Gilbert. None of them has a good classic rock tone, they have a thin sounding shred sound.

[yjm308]

*pattern

[guitarigg]

lmao you answered your on question i guess :P

[Aku666Torres]

lol,yeah he sure did lol...

[megakill1980]

TONY RULES!!!

[Ninjaro]

They're playing with a backing track, as he's the only guitarist here. That's not a bad thing though.

[GuitarNymph]

Tony is awesome! Underrated guitarist

[daddone87]

He is a Biafra!!!!...But he is a monster!!!!

[wfranklin]

Biafra??? Wtf is a Biafra?

[daddone87]

A biafra is a man very very thin!!:)eheh....It was a joke!!!

[Madblasta]

Classic stuff.

Tony was one of the few shredders from that era who understood the importance of leaving some space for notes to breathe, and not just hitting ludicrous speed warp 5 and blazing away.

[uzumaki1994]

i went to school with tonys niese never meet him i always asked her if i could get a autograph but she was a bitch sooo yea just putting it out there expressing my anger GODS SPEED PPL!

[FredZeppelin200]

groovylicious!!

[juanmanuelaguero]

tony is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[DT570]

It's a spinal tap reference, you can't post stuff like that and assume everyone knows what you're talking about though.

[yngrohen]

he was the best guitarist in the steve vai band

[arroyomusic]

i so agree with you. My brother who just started learning guitar saw my DVD of Steve Vai, and he commented that "the keybaordist, when he played guitar with Steve Vai, he was better than Vai!"

[kikkoguitar]

so he gave a total affidable comment.

[Exploder1992]

Tony Macalpine is one of my favorite guitarists! Awesome Guitarist, Awesome Composer, Hes just got everything a great metal musician should have. Long live tony, and long live metal!!!

[airraidsiren82]

not only a very cool guitar player and a very cool band!also a very very cool song this!!!!!

[sextenica]

mejor compositor y productor del planeta ,un pionero en el campo

[ManTurds]

Man Macalpine had it way back when. Nice guitar don't know if it was the BC, the Kramer, a Rand or Peavy. Looks cool though. Great Floyd skills.

[RanulfoKnox]

when did he endorse to carvin? that look like a classic carvin to me but i dont know

[guitarGod734]

I never worshiped Macalpine ,maybe because I met him in El Monte,California back in '86.

[Warmonger0077]

Maybe you don't worship MacAlpine because you are a guitarGod yourself...

[Ender66]

He is the 734th guitar god, nothing to be proud of. 733 are better than him.

[hypnos2001]

Oh please. Where do you rank? * rolls eyes*

[guitarGod734]

Hey thanks Hypnos2001 and Decaylive.Some people just feel a need to make a comment ,without even knowing why.Anyway I appreciate it.

[DECAYlive]

im assuiming your no; 733, if i was 734 in the world id b prty pleased

[krinord]

dude u cant put guitar players at ranks... thats just wrong, those who make those lists are some fuckers who not even play guitar.... btw only why u can tell if a guitar player is good, is if he realy plays with he's soul not what he dose on the guitar..

[Ender66]

lol you guys can't take jokes I see

[Jinyan2]

I was with Tony..from Edge Of Insanity....more than a fan...a worshipped guitarist and piano virtuso..keyboard too...where on earth can u find a multi-talneted artist?? Dun just go and see his clips...get his albums...get real man!

[kamilillo]

es muy bueno, pero tampoco te pases

[luchoecheandia]

increible tony es el mejor solista del planeta

[ebd]

Love T-mac to death, but i dont think he had a good tone in this one.

[draksell]

i love his pants :)

the song is ok, as a guitar player i look him up

[Korvtele]

Haha!

This sounds like some bad action/porno movie soundtrack

And ofcourse again i löve

 Mano

[horsie111]

dull. how is that possible?

[masterblasterx99]

whoops my bad, didn't mean to restate, but yea tony is the best in my opinion

[masterblasterx99]

tmac is an amazing player, i got lessons from music world in springfield MA where i was born and same with him at this little place called music world, i met him because he used to come see my dad's band play and there good friends

[5uckRogers]

he´s great, cuz he play with balls, things u certainly dont have, FAGOTTS!

[HarmonicMinorJ]

Oooohh not good
