Tony MacAlpine
Biography:
Tony MacAlpine is an guitarist/keyboardist whose classical training and jazz fusion influences result in a unique style of instrumental rock. Because of his skill and musicianship, MacAlpine (along with Yngwie Malmsteen) was a driving force behind the neo-classical rock guitar movement in the 1980s.
MacAlpine first learned music as a classically-trained pianist and violinist. He ultimately switched to electric guitar and released the notable instrumental albums Edge of Insanity and Maximum Security. In addition to releasing a series of solo albums, MacAlpine has also appeared as a guest guitarist/keyboardist on a number of other recording projects. MacAlpine is also been a frequent member of Steve Vai's touring band.
