Supercharge your phrasing over chord changes! | TOM QUAYLE LESSON

[@tomquayleguitar]

Hi again, everyone! I have a lot more time to do regular, weekly YT uploads at the moment and since my hands are finally working pretty well again, I'm going to try to upload with a more consistent schedule. Hope you enjoy this short lesson on phrasing and visualizing through chord changes. Thanks for all the comments on the last video and your continued support! Happy practicing people. ;-) Tom

[@stevenfrost891]

Would love a video on how you got your hands working again. Guitar related injuries would be an interesting topic

Thanks for your time ans share knoledge

Great to hear that! Thanks for the work you put into the videos.

Hey Tom, I’m really loving Solo and the Ultimate Fretboard Visualization course! I’m curious to know - what happened to your hands? Hand injuries are a huge fear of mine, so I am curious to hear what happened

Graduate of Grove school of music. And this brings me back to those times for sure. Your explanation and detail of each subject you cover over is incredible and learning is actually fun. Your amazing

Spent quite a bit of my afternoon with this lesson, love it!

[@dunehaggar7495]

This comment just triggered me haha this sounds glorious, def wanting some time to do just this too. Enjoy!

[@Poysha]

Haven’t touched the guitar in 5 years. I remember trying to attempt your lessons back then. Although I was a performing guitar playing in big venues round the Middle East I could never play anything like you

[@HitmanMcGruph]

Keep playing brother

[@dave8007]

Thank you so much Tom. This is brilliant! Great to hear your hands are on the mend.

[@patpogoallroundguitarist5814]

Fantastic exercise! I've done similar exercises over tunes. The only downside with it is that it demands commitment for months to really nail a tune by heart which can jeopardize motivation.

[@lastdaysguitar]

I come to this site and also Robbie Barnby's whenever I need a good humbling.

[@tomquayleguitar]

Robbie is insane! Such a killer player.

[@lastdaysguitar]

You both are, Tom! Serious about that humbling part... and I'm not a humble man by nature, lol! :) @@tomquayleguitar

[@govindoburdwan]

I always try to harmonize e and b string notes with diatonic triads and I love it. But this is on steroids. Absolutely love it. A lesson on some extended chords will be awesome.

[@tomquayleguitar]

Awesome - glad you like the video and thanks for commenting.

[@timelwell7002]

Excellent playing, outstanding. I love the strong influence of be-bop in Tom's phrasing.

[@michealjoseph9943]

Picking every note can often be over-rated. Tom's legato technic is so smooth. Lends itself for a calming guitar listening experience.

[@jackwolfman389]

Tom, Great content! and extremely insightful! I'll definitely be revisiting this video another 2-3 times. LOL

[@cosigi]

Excellent Lesson Tom, going to have to reference this video frequently

[@hawkhead418]

So glad you and Solo are back! Can’t wait to start the course. Cheers. God bless. 🎸👍🏽

Thanks! Hope you enjoy it.

Great lesson, Tom! Helps in thinking melodically vs. "mechanically"...

So glad your health is better Mr Quayle ☮️❤️✨

Thanks - me too

[@jacktaylorguitarist]

Thanks Tom, I really enjoyed this. I still refer and use your methods from your Jazz Harmony and Playing Over Changes book. There was so much good content in that book, I use it all the time on gigs! Hope you’re well and take care, glad to hear you’re feeling better.

[@tomquayleguitar]

Thanks Jack - hope you're well.

[@TheJamieAbraham]

Another cracking lesson - I've been working on this with BB for the last few years and the Solo app has been a big part of my progress. Can't recommend this visualising system highly enough especially in conjunction with the app.

[@tomquayleguitar]

Ah nice!

[@robertosicam6240]

great lesson! the motif strategy helps you tell the story of your solo improvisation

[@tomquayleguitar]

Exactly right. That's why it becomes so addictive.

[@dnee18]

Great lesson. I’d love to learn more about how one can develop motifs, for example rhythmic displacement.

[@tomquayleguitar]

Oh - nice idea for a future lesson. I have some cool ideas about this that I like to practice.

[@cookizman123]

Hi Tom, Thanks a lot for this lesson ! One quick question tho (for you or anyone who has an idea) : at 15:45 you decided to play b2 (or b9) on a F7 chord. How do you decide the alteration b2 (or b9) ? Cause on the mixolydian scale it should be a standard 2 no ?

[@Rhythmicmofo]

Thank you Tom! You’re a fantastic teacher!

[@tomquayleguitar]

Cheers - much appreciated.

[@andycollenette2464]

Sorry to hear your hands have been giving you problems Tom. Hope it’s all resolved for you. Quick question; I’m still ploughing through inversions but am getting there. Should I get those all under my fingers first before advancing in this way. Scales, arps etc under the fingers but always trying to push forward with identifying intervals…is there a quicker way or method to get these glued into my brain? Good lesson, nice sound and lovely guitar. Cheers mate 👍🎸

[@kerrytyk111]

Very tasteful and musical! Looking forward to exploring!

[@tomquayleguitar]

Thanks and enjoy!

[@erikt8116]

Man thx for such a good content! Bringing home to us😂

[@mightdai7489]

Around 17:40, when you say the intervals, are your referring to the intervals of the notes in terms of the chord played or the key? I am assuming it is from the chord played, and I'll have to say I learned a lot here, I was a little stuck on thinking only chord tones over the chord for a while

[@tomquayleguitar]

I'm referring to the interval of the chord played.

[@paulsimon6544]

Out of curiosity, why do you tube your two first strings a half step up?

[@tomquayleguitar]

It makes the guitar visually symmetrical, so small interval shapes, chord voicings and scale shapes are the same no matter where you play them.

[@paulsimon6544]

@@tomquayleguitar that is very cool and interesting. Your mind must be a computer to be able to transpose everything to your tuning. Wow

Cheers big ears 👂

[@soren81]

I'm not a regular viewer of this channel, and I guess I wasn't paying good enough attention in the beginning, because the tuning totally threw me off. I was so confused. I like the lesson and the content, but it took a while for me to figure out what was going on. Perhaps an overlay every now and then, "remember, not standard tuning" or something? 😅

[@joelhume]

What happened to your hands? An injury?

[@tomquayleguitar]

I have ulner nerve compression and Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. Makes playing harder than it used to be! No pain though.

[@affif330]

@@tomquayleguitar is that from playing or something genetiv?

It's from playing - too much legato I expect.@@affif330

​@@tomquayleguitaris this because your sense of touch is affected or like a pins and needles sensation? I apologize if this is too personal of a question. I can't imagine not being able to feel the strings under my fingers.

Loving the lessons but all that jazz makes me want to give up guitar do ppl acually listen to jazz? Imo it is the worst music ever played.

[@user-ov5nd1fb7s]

All the brilliant players of the world didn't need to sit with someone showing them everything, they were able to develop by themselves. I think sharing knowledge is great but we ultimately end up with a whole lot of mediocrity in the world of music. I think, Tom should be a professional musician because he is good enough but most of us shouldn't. And i see too many people wasting their time learning how to play, when they are not talanted enough. They could have used that time and energy into something else that suits them better. We need less lessons, workshops and tutorials in the world. And then Tom can go back to do what he loves, playing. Instead of trying to teach a bunch of talantless people. I include myself in that category. I wasted 15 years playing music.

Did you know if you add a C note to your Em7b5 you get a dominant 9th chord. C,E,G,Bb,D . Any m7b5 chord can be seen as a dominant chord missing it's root note

[@MrMusicgenius]

Correct. also Em7b5 is an inverted Gm6. Over the Em7b5 it’s much easier for me to think and play G melodic minor or C mixolydian rather than E locrian.
