as this video offers a great deal more than skills to playing fast

By Brian D. Johnston on December 22, 2014

SOUND
Legendary Tony MacAlpine’s 53-minute instructional video Shred Guitar (published by www.HalLeonard.com) is a misnomer, as this video offers a great deal more than skills to playing fast. The student gets an inside look into Tony’s playing and how he combines various techniques that encompass his style. As with any Hal Leonard production I own, the sound and video quality are crystal clear and top notch, as though you were sitting in the room with Tony and his band.

CONTENT
Tony touches upon a number of concepts; he does not delve deeply on any one point, but provides an example and discussion to get an idea across in order for the student to apply it into his or her playing. He starts the technical section with string slapping, to give a funk style, and this is how the first band number starts (there is a mix of song playing with technique demonstrations), as Tony and the bassist plays a slap riff in unison. In no time Tony gets into speed picking techniques and emphasizes his ‘economy of motion’ concepts, and particularly in his picking hand – i.e., he strives to use the fingering hand more by rolling, hammering, pulling (with lateral movement patterns along the neck on one string) and sliding as many notes as possible to keep his playing and style fluid (he implements a lot of arpeggio forms and broken chords in this manner as he works up and down the neck).

Tony next discusses soloing concepts and understanding ‘methods to be applied’ as opposed to merely memorizing (which helps when improvising), as he demonstrates getting a synth-like tone when hammering chords, or even a bell-like ring with hammer-ons.Read more ›

A MUST HAVE FOR ANY SHREDDER!

By Ray St John on May 11, 2010

Verified Purchase

Im writing this review based on the one below that was very negative. I guess some people have nothing else to do but find the negative in everything.

I do own the VHS tape of STARLICK - MASTER SESSIONS with TONY MACALPINE which is here renamed SHRED GUITAR and there is an improvement from the original VHS to the DVD quality that we have on here.

I dont know if the reviewer below was expecting HIGH DEFINITION which I dont think is never going to happen.

But focusing on the positive - Tony Mac plays 4 songs here that were never recorded in any of his albums live with his band. He talks about the techniques involved in an interview based lesson in particular his tapped arpeggios and also economy of motion which is to play fast using your wrist not with your arm. I know because I am a shredder.

I hope that HAL LEONARD PUBLISHING brings more titles out as there is a huge catalog of STARLICKS waiting to be unleashed on DVD.

RATING 10

Very good, Very disappointing

By Paul Belikian on January 25, 2010

I'll be the first to tell you that Tony MacAlpine is one of the best guitarists around for this kind of music. His technique is flawless, fluid, and unparalleled. He can easily transfer his ideas and inspirations into music. I've seen him play live a few times and I can tell you that he just gets better and better ...he's simply amazing.

Now, this video gives us a lot of Tony's techniques broken-down and explained in detail. You absolutely will learn from this video. You'll also hear some tunes that Tony wrote just for the video. I'm not going to say too much about the DVD's content as it is a 'must have' for any guitarist of this genre to have and study.

Now for the bad review. If you have never seen this DVD, then as stated before, it is a must have. However, for us players who have been around for 30+ years, be aware that this DVD is a rehash of another video put out by Hal Leonard back in 1992. That VHS was called "Star-Licks Master Sessions with Tony MacAlpine." The DVD's picture quality is not much better than VHS - it appears to be a direct transfer with no attempt to remove any video distortion. There is no new material in the DVD other than a modern picture of Tony on the rear cover. Hal Leonard's marketing people did a great job of simply renaming the title to "Tony MacAlpine Shred Guitar", adding some menus, and pushing it as a new product ...but nothing more.

As I said before, this is a must have DVD, but some of us already have it under another name, so don't fall for it being a new product with any new material or you will be severely disappointed.
