Al Pitrelli of TSO West tearing up the guitar with "Faith Noel" from TSO's album and new Winter Tour 'The Lost Christmas Eve'. Portland Oregon, November 25, 2012 at the Rose Garden Arena
Al Pitrelli is so underrated...the guy played with Savatage, Widowmaker, Megadeth and Asia ( among others)..he has attitude, licks, technique, stage presence..amazing.
Really good, but I prefer Joel Hoekstra. He plays with a passion and seems to enjoy it and puts show and doesn’t just go though the motions. Still a great player though.
Hansmeister Schulz-- Right?? It's the Year, 2021, and Christmas, Has Yet to happen, and there's NO Time, like the Present, to Worship the Lord Jesus, IN November...🙏🙏😉👼😇👼😇👼😇👼😇🙏🙏🙏😉
I am so amazed of the level professionalism these artists have We are so lucky to 😢 able to here such melodies that come from out hevens!!! So forfilling !!
This guy is the best damn guitar player I've ever seen in person. I've tried my hardest to play like him but he makes it look so easy it's unreal! Al... your awesome brother!
Cant wait to go to the live concert of TSP in a couple of weeks. December 11th at Greensboro NC. love TSO. Gets you in the Christmas spirit!! Merry Christmas and remember the real reason for the season!!
Mr Al Pitrelli!! SUCH AN UNDERRATED MUSICIAN. I CAN LISTEN TO HIS GUITAR 24/7 AND EVERYTIME IT JUST GETS BETTER!!!! HE'S THE PAUL MCCARTNEY OF METAL. ROCK ROYALTY.
Thanks for your great work Stacey. Saw TSO for the 1st time in Tulsa (same tour) with my new bride, a looong time fan, and was blown away...and I'm a an old rocker from the 60's/70's.
got my tickets in the mail today!!! saw tso east for the first time in greenville s.c. with my daughter and her family and am now looking forward to seeing tso west for the 4th time . they make my christmas season complete . thanks for the great videos !!!
U guys r incredible, , outstanding. U cant lose with this front man Al. I admire it thinking. Why does ur music sound so fantastic?? I know. It's so unbelievable. Love u guys. Keep up the phenomenal work
For all you up and coming guitarists; notice how when he's playing below the 12th fret, he is on the bridge pickup, and changes to the neck pickup about the 12th fret. That gives a nice "singing" sound, and not brittle. I learned this trick over 20 years ago from Steve Morse (formerly Dixie Dregs, currently Deep Purple). It's not really a trick, but a nice tool to use.
Thanks Al! You are incredible! I took the family to see you last night in Ontario Ca. We had a great time and the show was as good as it gets! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Very nice video work. You were certainly able to zoom in nice and close. I would have thought they would not allow such a big camera into the show--they must not be as strict as some artists about photography of their concerts. I was at the same show in Portland, but not nearly as close. Fantastic concert--I'm already looking forward to next year!
It's funny; the keyboardist (as an FL user myself) seemingly uses the default preset for FL Keys, and STILL THIS SONG IS SO EPIC AND AWESOME. It also happens to mean a lot to me. :)
I'm sorry Mary but if you listen to both their vibrates , Chris being a self taught street player has a much better technique and tone. Yes Al is a fine player but he'd probably agree with me. We all have our strengths but the band being Al's band, he calls the shots on who plays with them. Chris is a fabulous guitarist with natural ability. Al is a better composer for certain. But pound for pound, Chis has a significant edge. That's all I was saying. I've been a professional guitarist for 47 years and my ear tells me a lot about technique and vibrato.
Maybe u r one who lack theory tats y u r suportin tat other guitarist well alpetrili is god he cn do all the technique u r sayin if u don bliv jus watch megadeth featurin alpetri all the technique is there
Jesus Christ is Lord. Praise God with the strings and the drums!
"Oh come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord."

Hansmeister Schulz--
Right??
It's the Year, 2021, and Christmas, Has Yet to happen, and there's NO Time, like the Present, to Worship the Lord Jesus, IN November...🙏🙏😉👼😇👼😇👼😇👼😇🙏🙏🙏😉
Most likely the finest guitar player and front man I have ever watched!! Can’t get enough of Als performance and tenacity
Al Pitrelli is an amazing rock guitarist! Saw him with Megadeth years ago.
Music from Heaven!
Greatness of Les Paul
What a great finger works
May God Bless who have got to see and enjoy
I am so amazed of the level professionalism these artists have
We are so lucky to 😢 able to here such melodies that come from out hevens!!! So forfilling !!
when and if TSO decides to film a live show... they just need to call you... amazing quality.
This guy is the best damn guitar player I've ever seen in person. I've tried my hardest to play like him but he makes it look so easy it's unreal! Al... your awesome brother!
A highly talented musician, Ace guitarist, simple man and criminally underrated guitarist.

Al can look at a guitar and make it play amazing!
Amazing guitar solo from Al Pitrelli!

I love it. Merry Christmas All!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AL!!!

Awe inspiring...

Anyone see TSO lately like Dec 2021?
awesome..👍
could you please send me the Backing track of this song..
awesome
Awesome!
I didn't know Yamaha Motif XS series had Fl sets lol, I have a MOX8 based 100% off of the Yamaha Motif XS.
I've used my Canon PowerShot SX20 for all my videos, with exception of my video of Tommy Farese singing 'Ornament' from, I think, the '09 Winter Tour.
Way to go Al
Brilliant indeed!
What do you record with? The sound and video quality is amazing for sitting in the stands!
I was there.
Stacey gets great vids!!
Stacy, did you get the whole concert on film? if so i want a copy of it.
he is good with that gibson lespaul but who did he play with before that
If anyone can find cello sheet music for this plz send it to me
Where can i find the backing track….kindly help
first noel!
Singing Gibson guitar. Awesomazing
both pitrelli and marty sound same n have same mega background isnt it weird?
around 1:50 it sounds exactly like the theme from super smash bros!!
I Love TSO, I wish they would use real drums instead of the electronic stuff they use. Looks better and sounds better
You sure are dummies. They do use real 🥁.
Uhh…. They do. I’ve seen them twice and it’s a real drum set every time
No, they aren't together anymore.
Isn't Al pitrelli and Jane Mangini married still?
I'm sorry Mary but if you listen to both their vibrates , Chris being a self taught street player has a much better technique and tone. Yes Al is a fine player but he'd probably agree with me. We all have our strengths but the band being Al's band, he calls the shots on who plays with them. Chris is a fabulous guitarist with natural ability. Al is a better composer for certain. But pound for pound, Chis has a significant edge. That's all I was saying. I've been a professional guitarist for 47 years and my ear tells me a lot about technique and vibrato.
Maybe u r one who lack theory tats y u r suportin tat other guitarist well alpetrili is god he cn do all the technique u r sayin if u don bliv jus watch megadeth featurin alpetri all the technique is there
Anyone in 2023
Sounds like an anthem.America anthem lolzZz!!!
He's not half as good as Chris Carrerty
they are both good in their own right.
