What I learned in this "clinic" I suck far worse than I ever imagined. Absolutely amazing guitar work!

[@madmaestro3002]

here's the remedy for your suckiness, download this video., play it back on software that can slow it down to a crawl (actually KZbin can slow play videos) learn 1-2 measures at a time until you know the entire song then start increasing the speed, i'd say if you do this every day for 5-6 years you MIGHT be as good as Tom :-).................I'm on my 3rd year so far :-) I'll keep trying, My motto is as long as i keep practicing........."I suck less today, than yesterday"

Zarlodious me too😫

[@kimmolingonheimo]

@@madmaestro3002 oh, how kind words, maestro!...however I find with my three Yamaha Pacifica 112Vs,,,the string trees quite irrelevant...., I still have them Graphtecs but really I love the slight rattle of the b and e string versus them string trees, mine are tuned very low whole octave down dont try that in a hurry!!!, floatin against the body, srpings hard and light, Cheers!, K : )

[@mattf9076]

Lol. Tom Quayle vids have the best comments. "I'm done" "Anyone want to buy my guitars" "I quit" "Why do I even bother"

[@ohadcohen2]

Very impressive playing. Just a reminder to anyone who is discouraged by how awesome tom is - he has been playing "spain" for who knows how many years... its not exactly "purely improvised", he had tons of time to experiment and formulate his moves (which are awsome) to the tune. His playing is wonderful and diverse, but there is a lot of repetition. I think there is less of his stuff getting transcribed because of his fourth's tuning.

[@user-ov5nd1fb7s]

Your argument makes 2 statements. 1. He has been practicing for many years 2. Practicing a song means you can't improvise on it I disagree with the second, while the first is obvious and i can prove to you that you are wrong. If it were true that if you practice a song, you are not improvising when you play it later, then such a thing as improvisation does not exist because every musician has and is practicing. Since improvisation exists and both statements are diametrically opposed, it proves that you are wrong. Practicing is how you build vocabulary which later you combine in infinite many ways. Just like when you learn the alphabet and phrases.

[@user-ov5nd1fb7s]

@@JonMurray in my comment, "Argument" was clearly used with a different meaning than what you are trying to make it out to be. I was proving a point, not arguing. Either you do not have sufficent knowledge of the English language or you are simply trying to be a troll. I am not interested in either.

[@paulgilbert3139]

He was improvising, you can ask the right guy beside of tom (martin miller), he always play a different improvisation in every song and every take.

[@julianloef202]

This solo makes me laugh and shake my head many times from how ridiculous good this is . Tom quayle is his own league of guitar playing 👌🏻

Fantastic! I used to work for Chick and I’ve heard this tune hundreds of times live. That’s as good a solo as I ever heard.

[@adozensparrows]

I've been watching Tom on KZbin a bit more than 4 years now. I noticed Tom back then demo-ing a Jet City amp. It's Tom's technique that allows this extraordinary gtr work. Not an accident; I bet he knows all of Segovia's diatonic major & minors backwards.

[@freda9498]

[@nethbt]

Tom's probably the most fluid legato player in the world, with actual good *musical* chops... People rave about Marshall Harrison but I think he lacks *substance* in the phrasing department. Rick Graham is right up there, but he's more of a stacatto economy picker.

[@alexandersangregorio3919]

marshall is phenomenal and the most technically and musically gifted but his phrasing isnt the best in terms of funky fusion rock, which i could care less. i enjoy marshalls enormous chops and tonal mixture. and i enjoy tom of course. but i listen to more than just guitar.

1 comment.. Super crazy guitar works

[@droidfan]

I heard Tom say in his podcast that, although he created legato patterns he can reuse, his playing, note/scale selection is 100% improvised. Just listen to this vid at 50% speed to hear - actually hear - what he is playing. It's more impressive once you have done that.

[@shanely7317]

Which episode of what podcast please?

[@droidfan]

@@shanely7317 There are quite the many episodes :( I can't remember which one. Here you can find all of them. If you are a guitar player and a fan of Tom and his buddies, then this is for you: www.theguitarhour.com/

[@poo2wee2browner]

The tone he got out of his fibanare guitar was far superior. Great playing regardless.

[@metallica3604]

Specially that HSS 😍

[@DanielVerberne]

I'm assuming Tom is still using his unorthodox tuning? I'd be curious to know if that might gain greater acceptance, as it does seem to confer benefits. I think Alex Hutchings also plays an unorthodox tuning, but not sure if it's the same as Tom's. Both killer players of course.

Yea it’s the same, they tune in fourths. So E A D G C F

[@jpflynn06]

My goodness...outside of Govan or maybe even 1a and 1b...I defy anyone to find a more melodic and musically interesting shredder.

[@pathaleyguitar9763]

I love love LOVE Tom, but, food for thought: Jason Richardson. I know it's not fusion, but it's like every single note Jason writes is thought out in explicit detail. His melodic ideas aren't the mindless 64th notes you here in a lot of tech metal. I think they're brilliant, but feel free to disagree. Hope you enjoy tho!

[@martinpaddle]

@@pathaleyguitar9763 for Jazz / fusion players, it's the ability to improvise that counts, technical facility is just a means to an end. Tom is improvising for most of this video, and also Guthrie wouldn't play the same solo twice. Jason Richardson is not that great of an improviser (from what I've seen), he's from a new breed of electric guitarist that are more like virtuoso classical musicians. I'm therefore not sure they're comparable, would be like comparing Lang Lang to Chick Corea.

[@pathaleyguitar9763]

@@martinpaddle Oh I actually entirely agree with most of what you're saying. The only reason I responded with Jason Richardson as an example (and also Jason Becker and Petrucci would be good examples here) was because the prompt was "find a more melodic and interesting shredder" not "find a more adept improviser and fusion guitarist". I honestly don't really put Tom in the "Shred" category, so I agree with you that it's not appropriate to compare him to people that are in the shred category, but the prompt put him there, so I went for it. But yes, I agree with you!

Tom is so good it's crazy, but I'm sorry he has NO FEEL....less is MORE

[@gabriell8714]

No, Tom is playing great music here ! When a pianist or a reed player do a scale, everybody is fine with it but not when an electric guitar player does. I mean come on.. Scale and arpeggio can be played with passion and feel just like Tom is playing. He as an incredible fluidity that enable you to hear every note so you can hear the music he's doing. He's beyond the technique simple as that. But I get it that it might not everyone's cup of tea considering the huge emphasis on minimal blues/rock or indie and the quest to "good feel" "60-70 vintage authenticity" and "cool" in the guitar community.

[@HeadbangoO]

Typical comment of the "guitar community" who's been playing their 3 washed up blues licks for the last 30 years...

[@nsen74]

I agree. Amazing technique. Lots of scale runs not a lot of melody and holding some notes with passion.

[@coldsteelprogressive]

Tom has always been about spectacular and technically superb shredding. Look at the description of his approach to music when the Dual Fusion pedal was designed for him. He was not interested in the "tasteful" or traditional aspects of playing Jazz or Fusion. There is a reason such an approach is called "shredding". It would go a long way towards really becoming a master of music if he gave more thought and attention to those deeper details IMO. Compare this performance to one done by heavyweights in the Jazz field for a bit of enlightenment.
