Ölüdeniz - Tony MacAlpine 

In a gig with Steve Vai I listened Tony play a guitar lick that amazed me so much for its beauty and strength that I still remember that feeling. I thought Steve looked at him like "that's too much, I'm the star" haha probably my imaginations. Amazing musician.

T-Mac is one of those rare talents that come along every once in a while; technically proficient at TWO instruments! Great tone and taste,I like ALL of his stuff from the first to the current. As guitarists we all can learn something from T-Mac!! Keep practicing everyone!! Peace.

Wow, some of the coolest work I've heard him do since the late 80's. Very modern, but still very much the T Mac sound. There's even a slight nod to Max Security. Love it!

Greetings from Ölüdeniz, beach of my hometown Fethiye.

Fantastic!!!!!! Tony is a phenomenal guitarist and the band is amazing!!!

Awesome! Tony is back again! What a smaller world we live in now.. I remember first having heard him in late '87! :)

BRILLIANT CD ! ! ! Not one bad tune on it, just amazing, progressive, instrumental mayhem!

Just discovered this beast. I found meself another role model!

Sure. There is only one god on guitars: Tony! Anyone still faltering should listen to Salar De Uyuni, incredible playing skills and almost incredible to compose. This guy gives me bumps since his first album back then in the middle of the 80ies.

This song makes me want to get up every morning! Great job Tony, as usual.

The new album is a TRIUMPH! It's incredible. Everything he's been involved with in the last ten years is on this album as well as a few wonderful surprises. I was in tears listening to it because I am 1 of his most faithful fans. He changed my life with his playing and dedication to the craft.

So glad to see Tony back with Ibanez. Amazing as usual.

Hot and warm like Ölüdeniz!!!👌🇹🇷👍🤘

MacAlpine is no rookie, he's been at this for a long time and continues to be a force in high talent guitar shredding, I first heard him in M.A.R.S. ...definitely an influence on me :-

you are the one of the only dudes i know who has kept his lead tone pretty much the same from when you were in the 80s

Dude crushed it with this album...he went back to his roots but incorporated a modern twist in it...🤘🤯

this song is excellent

Album of the year actually

Tony is an amazing talent \m/

Another undeniable talent: 22 years old Jakub Zytecki.Check out his guest solo on "Bilo" part 1 the his own stuff.Amazing !!!

Tony, that´s very hot!!! First class rock music!

Thou Shalt Shred -Tony Macalpine The Master

Awesome tune, Tony rules!!!!!!!!!!

New discovery for me and so far I'm really impressed by his musicality!

I have been a huge Macalpine fan for many years now. I purchased his latest CD last week entitled " Tony Macalpine". Awesome stuff!

Tony is back!!!!

The segment from 0:30 to 1:02 is such a beautiful part thematically and melodically! I wish he had revisited it more in this tune...

Mr. Macalpine has created such inovative album in terms of composition. It sounds 'high tech' and at the same time dramatic. - I think it´s nice 'cause he´s not repeating himself...

WOOOOWWWW THIS IS BEAUTIFULL!!!! First time hearing this guy's music gotta listen to all his albums

My all time favourite guitarist. You fucking rock man.

This is clockwork sweet.

@funkster007 Yeah I like that too. He doesn't disappoint his old fans, but he still has just enough variation to keep it all interesting. Keep it up Tony, we need more guys like you in this day and age.

Some 'Tears' sprinkled throughout this song.

Don't get the production criticisms i've read online. This is his best sounding solo album since the 90's imo. nice full sound.

My favorite soloist

Classic tony

Great Musician! One of the bests!

Tony's back ! The new songs are great. Fantastic album : i'm gonna buy it right now.

Tony MacAlpine aka Mr Hillary Duff :) .....redefining shredding, both with Hillary and on his own.

Muito bom,adorei,sou fã do tony e gosto mesmo muito mais dele do que o Steve Vai e do satrianni,sou fã msm,muito bom.Abraços ao Tony Macalpine

Epic Album!

primeira musica que ouvi dele já foi o suficiente..excelente musica que atmosfera brilhante

hey tony you should make a book with licks phrasing your style is amazing......just think about it there are many young guitarplayers that wants to play like you......take care man !!!

I love Max Sec. I also have Edge of insanity and that album is just as good as Max Sec. I still think Tears of Sahara is T-Mac's best song though :)

i love this song

Crazy good music! Mr. MacAlpine never ceases to amaze me:)

@johnnyismytsai , Wow, I have seen Vai's seven string, but 8 strings? Amazing! ...Tony's latest CD is awesome.

@24fret7string Its a great cd, one of his best for sure, classic tony!!!

Wow waht a great track!!!! I really like it, is very original!

@velocity4000fps - You got it right, this cd has been in the stereo since last Thursday when I got it, excellence top to bottom.

agree, i prefer this proggy/hybrid approach that Macalpine has now.

thx

A lot of people think Yngwie Malmsteen is one of the greatest guitarists ever, but I think T-Mac runs rings around Yngwie because T-Mac has both technical skill AND good songwriting. Yngwie has a lot of technical skill, but most of his songs are either really cheesy or one-dimensional shredding that gets old fast.

incredible! loved it~

have you forgotten about edge of insanity and premonition? those albums were amazing. tony macalpines project driver album was amazing

@6BlackRavens No he isnt. The man has worked extremely hard since a child to master his music and his playing, having gotten an excellent musical education and various musical experiences with stellar musicians. He is an amazing musican with an amazing talent.

@6BlackRavens Im not trying to outdo you. I just fleshed out who he is - more than merely a great talent.

Denzel sure plays the fuck out of that guitar...

its means dead ocean ( ölü deniz )

Just ordered this - hope it works for me like Jeff Loomis' Zero Order Phase. Maybe I'll change my name to 24fret8string!

@Velocity4000fps Jeff's new CD is due early APR. I just also got Franceso Artusato and both Animals as leaders...my fingers are freakin' killing me!

Love it Tony!!!! Never a disappointment with you Brother!!!! \m/ (>

makes "flight of the bumble bee" seem pretty simple lol

I'm sure the main melody quotes Tears of Sahara, anyone else think so?

Sure.This guy is wayl underestimated..Yngwee skipping the shows & always drunk!One and the other is a wizard of Ozz.Don`t forget Randy Rhoads!!!

It´s /o'lu:deni:/. If I´m not wrong, this is a Turkish name, a name of a Turkish region or the like. Anyway, I hope I have helped you.

i went on Vaction in Fethiye!

@marcandre0011 Wait, did he play with Paul Gilbert too, or had he left then?

I agree with Tony doing neo-classical better than Yngwie did. I have "Maximum Security" and that album is so, so much better than "Rising Force."

@funkster007 total max security haha

Compared to most of his other albums though, his last one wasn't badly produced at all in my opinion.

Wow he must be a cuisine of Tosin Abasi

Kitchen? :P

@rmsolympic1 that's what I just said, you're just trying to out do me with bigger words - K.I.S.S

@jonsilence WTF?

Funny thing is, Tony started in neo-classical, the same place Yngwie took over about 5 years before T-Mac got known. I personalyl think Tony does NeoClassical better than Yngwie does. Yngwie is all ego, one trick (sweep arpeggio) pony. Tony is a true musician.

Hope my 303 view helps
