HOW TO DEVELOP YOUR OWN LICKS & VOCABULARY | Tom Quayle | LESSON

[@tomquayleguitar]

Hi everyone! I’ve done a few gear videos over the past few weeks, so I wanted to put a good old fashioned lesson up for you all. This is kind of the antidote to the barrage of ‘Top 5 tips’ and ‘10 tricks to make you sound amazing’ videos that seem to be everywhere on KZbin these days. If you work really hard on these concepts they will reward you in much deeper ways. Good luck and thanks for all the support and to everyone who’s checked out and given such great feedback on Solo. If you want more content like this please check out the links in the description and don’t forget to like and subscribe. See you all in the next one. Tom

[@JohnnyGTar]

Thank you, that was super informative. Actually blow my brain.Can I ask what you use to create that strings sound when you play?

[@drpastormartinosempa8930]

@Saul Raphael Did u do this using SOLO?

[@StuartBull53896]

Call Me Please.

[@Nikoo033]

Tom is really good at placing himself in the shoes of inexperienced players I found. 🙏🏻

[@lollipophugo]

This video is criminally underrated - literally what I was looking for in terms of "how do I take this method of visualising the fretboard and use it to create lines and improvise". Excellent video, deserves way more views.

[@HasseC]

"Hi there, guys! Tom Qualyle here!" - me hitting the Like button. Just know that there is quality coming ...

[@leonbuettner]

I literally just did the same exact thing, then checked the comments and saw this! :D

[@blackmore1985]

hahah very true mee too!

[@RodrigoPezzotti]

I can't take my eyes off that guitar !

[@Kryptic1234]

Simple advice but SO HELPFUL. As soon as I experimented with this method I began to sound like Rick Beato, discovering suspended harmonies on top of Dm. This one video was more useful than all of his "quick lessons" combined.

[@Icedsymphony7]

Thiis man deserves a lot of respect for talking in such simple way HATS OFF FOR EXPLAINING TO US

[@jameswelch658]

Over the top impressed. Often players of your caliber have lost their ability to convey that information; not the case here. Very happy that there are teachers (not just players) on the KZbin. Thanks .

[@NotAChair]

Your synth trail sounds like a PS2 booting up and I love it.

[@giorgenesgelatti3987]

The app is pretty cool. I still use pentatonic but mostly as a reference point to know where certain intervals are. The remaining intervals can easily be derived from the pentatonic. I like that the app gives this quiz-like exercise to intervals.

[@MrXeberdee]

Good advice. Another way to do it it (how I do it) is choose a melody fragment or chord (bunch of intervals), say R,2,b3,6 - then pick out these notes, also in any order, but move your hand in random directions, up or down, forwards and backwards, diagonal either way is good. As soon as you think that you are in a familiar box or pattern, then move in a different direction into an area that you might not be so familiar with and find the notes there. Guitarists become limited by scalic / pattern / box thinking because we are traditionally taught this way. You have to break free of it to learn the entire fretboard.

[@Phoboss32]

This approach of memorizing shapes and patterns irritated me for a long time. Until I found to naturally learn it via learning the all fretboard notes (with Solo app - see other video of Tom) and then learning the intervalic functions.

[@nickpenacl]

Not just a great guitar player, but also an amazing teacher

[@robertosicam6240]

Thank you so much! I've been building vocabulary starting with G7 using melodic minor scales.

[@jdivince1]

Thanks so much! I worked on this concept for an hour+ this morning as soon as I saw the first half of this video... :) Add me to the list of folks who can't wait for the Android version of the Solo app.

[@Senonez84]

Yes, we will wait for android version..Thank u Tom for this great app..

[@parthaphukan1808]

one of the greatest teacher and a player for a reason. need a collab with Rick grahm(a convo) to be precise.

[@TomClarkSouthLondon]

This is a super cool idea and I recommend *Solo* to anyone who’s serious about improving their game! 👍

[@yudhistiraadiw]

thanks tom, you save me a decade of expensive and inneficient practice. now i'm switching to 4ths tuning, and try to fill my own vocab licks and improvisation blocks. your channel really inspire everyone to raise up their game

[@mhitc.4975]

I just like his honesty about guitar learning

[@jacktaylorguitarist]

This is easily one of the best improv tuition vids on KZbin. Will definitely be adding these concepts to my practice!

[@jep3305]

When Tom Quayle speaks, I automatically start listening. Used to do #2 by playing numbers from the phone book - sort of, but would always drop out. Now I've got Sølo, so I just keep going. Thank you, Tom and David!

[@jep3305]

BTW: Tom's "Visualizing the Fretboard" Tutorial was the start for me but this journey will go on.

[@MartinBergnerGuitar]

That's like the lesson that I have been searching for the past weeks. So good. Thanks so much Tom!

[@felixnotthecat4249]

that just opened a door in my mind.. thanks.

[@Fitzgerd]

These lessons are absolutely superb Tom. I purchased solo a few weeks ago and it has already completely restructured the way I approach my practice and my improvising and has made me a much happier guitar player. A lot of work still to go but the thrill of knowing where notes are and knowing what interval I’m targeting is the best feeling and one that has eluded me for so long - thank you!! 🙏🏻👍🏻

[@grade43podcast]

Love this Solo app approach

[@matthewmedina1802]

Thanks Tom that was very informative. I’ve had the solo app for a year now, but never really got around to using it, but this video has opened my eyes to its potential. Thanks again🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@onefm1]

Thanks for breaking it down like this.

[@andrewhogg1427]

Thank you Tom; really helpful!

[@jobypius]

Great lesson..i usually jam on C major on D dorian

[@tonywatson8680]

Great to be learning Spanish!

[@yeserguitar]

Do you have a video about how you connect the phone to audio interface? I use the Solo app and really like it, but I never thought of connecting it so I could use the advantage of it if I learn how to. Greate video Tom, thanks!

[@CharlySahona]

Very inspiring lesson, thank you so much Tom...Nice to feel that my playing is about to improve in a new direction.

[@Nedwin]

Another master here! 🙏

[@smarcelo]

Great app! It would be nice if you could choose a set number of intervals for him to randomize instead of the complete scale. Ex. D Dorian, 4 intervals, random - generates 1 6 b7 4, b3 4 1 2 etc..

[@SCASTRO50]

Definitely this helps to enjoy solo even more, thanks Tom and I'm looking forward to keep enjoying more gems of your guitar knowledge.

[@lucabadin5411]

Hi Tom, great stuff! Still waiting for the Android solo app 😁

[@siegmac3267]

I hope solo will have a timing lesson too. Which is very important. Im waiting for my ipad then im gonna get this.

[@streetwiseguitar5113]

Great Demo, Tom! People don't realize just how much work goes into these vids and this one is Superb!

[@Jcfbaptista]

Excelent work Tom! I play by ear but I starting to understand diferent voices. Many thanks from Portugal.

[@nayarlopez8655]

Awesome lesson

[@andyracksthecams]

I don't know how you do it but your timing is perfect. I needed this lifeline. 👍. Looking forward to "the app".

[@robertosicam6240]

I will use the Em Pentatonic on Dm. It hits the intervals for the E Phrygian anyways. 🎉

[@Phaedrus68]

Love the idea of Em pentatonic over D dorian and will be playing around with that. But honestly I find the tuning thing very distracting as I'm trying to follow what you're doing as you play.

[@sergeyromashkin7876]

High-level guitar stuff. Love it.

[@OBrienDesigns]

"Hope everyone's doing quite well out there.." Yes, I'm doing extrrrrreamly well out here

[@louisdeath8965]

Great tips, thanks a lot.

[@Fabrisopapa]

You should think about making a Solo VST, Tom. I would be really interested in that.

[@nickschuller9861]

Great lesson. Would be fantastic to see more videos on suggestions how to use your app Solo. Thanks of the content! Cheers.

[@andymellor9056]

❤ Fabulous, well thought out. Clearly explained. The content I need for where I am in my development. ❤

[@heywally2739]

My gosh, what content! Thank you

[@kevinmoore8896]

Thanks for doing this it’s really helpful, I’ve just been trying to implement it in solo and it’s amazing the licks you can come up with.

[@thekramer1097]

7:15 Don't mind me. I know is the opposite of what the video is about but this sounds too cool

[@traumaone9117]

Really informative and interesting concept! Thanks!

Tom, thanks for posting, really a good one!

[@prashantdash6696]

Always a joy watching you play 😍😍😍

[@cx777o]

This is a very important lesson, thanks for sharing your insights on this topic :)

[@kymcarter589]

Hey Tommy, love the content. Any update on the android version? Cheers

[@darkotodorovic3444]

Thanks from Serbia

[@samiulhaquemusic]

What a teacher!

[@bebekguitar2007]

The way you're asking me to think hurts my head.

[@normanholditch4504]

Great video with a lot of well thought out learning strategies/methods.

[@MrBadGrim]

Great info for using solo for licks!

[@davidparkes7977]

Your soloing is so good Bro very inspiring. Just a note D dorian is the second mode in the key of c maj but isn't em the 3rd mode which is phrygian mode that's how I'd think of that but I know what your saying choose the right note

[@redwalrustmnc5256]

I can see why you would think that but NO it is the eminor the relative minor of G major scale-E, F♯, G, A, B, C, and D, It is used because it has the E Minor Pentatonic Notes: E G A B D which are shared with the notes of d dorian. Even tho em phrygian has the same notes it's just another way of looking at it because more guitarists are more familiar playing an e minor pent scale.

[@rolandmarichal1250]

EXCELLENT TOM!!!

[@rickthestick8]

Great ideas here, thanks as always Tom.

[@PedroAsfora]

Always superb Tom! Your approach is amazing

[@satchrules101]

Great lesson bro! Thank u for ur knowledge!

[@Nedwin]

Hi Tom very cool video as always. Would you please make a video about your thoughts on young and emerging guitar players today? And how the future of guitar music might look like with them? Thank you. 🙏

[@Nath-qn9os]

Super bien vu !!!! Merci !!!! Génial !!!

Very cool Tom !!! But the Solo app is not available for download in Brazil. why?

Please tell me what amp you are using! Your tone is great! Is it the AxeFX?

[@bobbystone1124]

Good bro

[@JamesWent]

Great video! Thanks.

[@johnfowlertrailrunning]

Really useful advice!

[@Marksmusic191]

Tom have you thought about implementing a drone note (or chord in the changes section) on the solo app? Is this possible? I think it would be very useful as you’ve demonstrated to give context to the intervalic functions in relation to the chord tones.

[@andyracksthecams]

The app would have to do a mix minus to cancel its own tone or chord / drone generation. Gets complicated when you use an audio interface.

[@Marksmusic191]

@@andyracksthecams ye I didn’t think it would be simple it would be great if there was a way around it. I’m not a tech guy but surely there’s a solution

[@alburito1363]

Could achieve it with a loop pedal

[@Marksmusic191]

@@alburito1363 this would only work if you were looping through a separate speaker the one note for scales it wouldn’t be practical for chord changes as you would have to keep up with chord changes in real time with the loop. Which would be a headache

[@alburito1363]

@@Marksmusic191 yeah you're totally right. I'm out of ideas :D

[@asissoev]

Screen shots are a good idea, but imagine you'd make a button to save an actual score?! That'd be really cool!

[@cryptoskywalker1714]

Why would the chords in D Dorian be any different than the chords in C Ionian or A Aeolian? C, Dm, , Em, F, G, Am, Bdim

[@JadScout]

how can this be free! thanks Tom.

[@jamesrodriquez2863]

I admit to not knowing a lot of the terms you use, but I think I am at least grasping the concept of how the app can be useful. Essentially, based on the type of scale and the root I choose, the app creates various combinations of notes to practice that I then can use to create my own licks, solos, etc. Is that correct?

[@chilljlt]

IF is the new musical diet. Intervallic Function that is.

[@farnney]

Cool!

[@simonm3889]

Really great

[@josephpacilio759]

Hi Tom, great lesson as always. I have a question about what you are doing with these lines and pieces of vocabulary once you practice them. When you improvise are you consciously recalling these lines through muscle memory or are do you generate all of your lines from scratch in the moment? Is it a combination of those two things, depending on the speed of the line?

[@joenuevotv3827]

new look :)

[@orphaneduk5672]

Tom, for the love of god stop playing so many sick licks in between your explanations! I have to stop and learn them all! Haha

[@tonygonzalez112]

Absolutely phenomenal video. By the way is that the rg6pkag guitar? I have one on order.

[@martinpearson2742]

What an amazing lesson excellent! I would love to download your app solo but it seems to be only on apple iPhone! Is there an android version available??

[@gil84rs]

We need solo for android!!! Please!!!

[@madness13039]

Making a button to "save the lick" would be amazinggg

[@carlosa.chacon985]

7:16 - I just wana start knowing how to do that... lol suggestions?
