  Awesome lesson! I love that album. I bought it so may years ago and it is still great to this day. The lesson part between :25 - :32 is my favorite part. Probably because it is the only part at my level, but also because it is a very melodic riff.

  I would encourage you to start with the descending scale, to start

Welcome to the Neoclassical MacAlpine lesson!

In this lesson we'll explore some of the techniques used by Tony in the 80's in one of his trademark albums "Maximum security" Released in 1987

There are tapped arpeggios. Timing is essential for these, and a little hard at first because you have to coordinate both hands but each hand is doing different number of notes.

We will also use alternate picking at various speeds, sweep picking at mid-tempo.

Enjoy this one!
