Tony MacAlpine legato tune

Tony demonstrates some legato technique on this piece named "Examination" (i think) for his shrapnel instructional video (1990).

@mojoefly

I would say the chorus, the wide vibrato sections, and plastic plectrum.

what makes this distinctive 80's tone? is it the chorus?

[44xtreme]

His tone is awesome!

@Fgueroa007 The guitar is a Mason Bernard MB1. They were made between 1990 and 1992 by Bernie Rico - of BC Rich fame. Tony McAlpine was their first and possibly only endorser. MB made about 250 guitars....

The closest thing you can get to an MB1 is a BC Rich ST model. The ST body is the same body that was used for the MB1. Hope this was helpful.

@bhamm21 I have one if it's still relevent after 2 years lol. Check out Black Diamond by stratovarius and learn the beggining on guitar instead of piano

What guitar is that, a Carvin? I love the tone he gets here!

@johnnysitarphillips I would recommend that you visit the wizard of shred, here on the tube, but also check out his website. There are lots of very helpfull information on how to practice and what to practice. I have bought two of his programs, and I have had progress like I never thought possible. You don't have to buy anything, though, read through his blog and see if there's anything you can use. You might get disencuraged if you think it's all just hard work for many years.
