Tom Practicing - working on rhythmic phrasing (with rubbish bits!) - www.tomquayle.co.uk

[jordino123]

Hey Tom, question: I'm planning to order a Suhr Modern Custom in the next little while but I'm unsure about which neck profile to get. Right now I just play an Ibanez RG (Wizard II neck) and I've been looking at the Modern Elliptical .780 to .830 with 10"-14" compound radius, but I was wondering how you've found the various Suhr necks compared to your old Ibanez neck?

Thanks for any words!

[Mastbibz]

loving the octoswitch being propped up by train tickets

[PoperGuitar]

How many years have you been playing? How old are you?

[billmeedog]

Hey Tom, Cool stuff! One seemingly "newer rhythmic-legato concept" I THINK I noticed, was that some of your faster "legato-flurries" seemed to have less of a continuous/linear flow (NOT "scale-linear" as you always seem to keep it more intervallic and harmonically interesting when you improvise, but less "rythmically-linear" if that makes sense?!?) It seemed like you were experimenting with "displacing and overlapping" some of your legato-ideas WITH RESTS/BREATHS! Sort of "Coltrane meets Miles!"

[eddthrasher]

lol your rubbish bits sound like my best bits.

[TheLastRadioAllStars]

where exactly are the 'rubbish bits' in here?

[Undercurrentuk1]

holy shit. amazing. VERY wayne krantz!

[dazzyboy0808893]

I love how you say "a lot of it doesn't work" when I find myself bobbing my head and sporting a huge cheesy grin the whole way through; you truly are a master Tom. Great playing as always. I'm sure there are many people out there, like myself, who are totally inspired by your playing; thanks a lot.

[benno369]

i hear no rubbish bits here. just mind blowing bits!

[huolevi]

Hello Tom! What kind of frets do you have on your Suhr Classic? Great new elements on your playing. Greetings from Finland.

[Esbenmad]

Hi Tom.

Do you have particular tactics and practiseprocedures, when practising rhytmic phrasing? I'd be very happy, if you could shed some light on that subject:-)

Best regards Esben

[J0NNYBudd]

@tq105 it would be great to see you upload more videos of your practise routine as a way for us to see how to get to your level of mastery!!

[infernalgr]

This is false advertisement! i looked at the video 20 times and i can't find the "rubbish bits!" :p

[markmcguigan]

Sweet lines Tom as ever :)

Like the Pentatonic Khancepts on the stand too ;)

[pbloxam]

You're sick bro! Always incredible!

[derrylgabel]

Sounds great as always Tom!

[OliverMazur]

so Tom, why do you about yourself in the third person in the title :P

[Niallphillips]

tom please do a lesson on how you play those legato runs...even a short video will do, anything..........please!

[Niallphillips]

so good

[anointed01]

Hi Tom, What kind of neck did you put on your guitar? Looks great

[JezzyLewis]

wow!

[Ibanezmarro]

Hey Tom, were you working on these legato ideas from a specific book? Just curious because I see a book on your music stand.

[ShredTraining]

This video made me feel better.

[jockercyril]

je suis vraiment jaloux de ton légato... quelle maitrise !

[TomHappyapril]

How come you took your octaswitch off your board ?!

[tq105]

@TomHappyapril It's still on - I made a load of custom length patch cables that evening so it was off for that. I love it!

[TomHappyapril]

@tq105 Good to hear! i was just considering one for myself !

[panopticonification]

I wonder what's the rubbish here...:)

Wonderful phrasing and tone, man. More than your tasty legato runs, I appreciate your rhythmic control, which has no equal around at the moment. Oh, and I'm a huge krantz fan, too.

[klextacy]

Simply wonderful tone and phrasing! Spectacular!

[MyxHarnett]

I hear no rubbish bits haha! Insane playing Tom! Your legato is so awesome btw

[darrenbkl]

you look like you're having constipation. Great playing ! I can never go out of a key and still sound as good

[SuperMaru1]

Hi Tom, mind blowing playing as usual!! What do you consider as essential/good guitare features (radius, frets...) for playing those kind of legato runs? Thanks in advance



[SuperMaru1]

Hi Tom, mind blowing playing as usual!! What do you consider as essential/good guitare features (radius, frets...) for playing those kind of legato runs? Thanks in advance

[jamesteek03]

I'm very curious.. who is your favorite player (any instrument) right now?

[tq105]

@jamesteek03 Hmm...tricky...Wayne Krantz has been blowing my mind for over 10 years but if I could sound like anyone it'd be Stefano Di Battista.

[Axemaniac]

Tom, can you hurry up with the new lessons and practice sessions please cos I'm dying here man! ;-) Great playing as always by the way.

[tq105]

@Axemaniac Very soon - a matter of days I promise!!

[Axemaniac]

@tq105 Cheers Tom, can't wait! :-)

[TomHappyapril]

@tq105 Same!

[XAlphaZEROX]

Your legato playing is amazing... never ceases to blow my mind!

[JPMike]

You never cease to amaze me, Tom. Is there going to be a lesson for this? :D

[tq105]

@JPMike Hmm - at some point maybe! I need to get to the point where I can really control it first! ;-) Thanks!

[jhep1]

love your outside note choices

[r0kas]

wonderful playing as allways, but I'd love to see you playing these ideas over more complex harmony than this one :)

[tq105]

@r0kas That'll be coming!!

[kaefbaml]

Hey Tom, I would like to learn that hybrid picking sooo bad where do i start to begin to look/learn? Please respond, regards

[tq105]

@kaefbaml Hi there! I'm in the process of writing a tutorial on it for my website. Should be up in a few weeks. Keep checking the site for updates. Should be right up your street!!

[kaefbaml]

@tq105 thanks man, your the best

[roccckkerrr]

what book is on your music stand? (the one I think which has concepts on it)

[tq105]

@roccckkerrr It's Steve Kahn's Chord Khancepts. Incredible book if you're looking to develop your chordal playing. I've had it since about 2001! I love it.

[tq105]

@tq105 Sorry - it's actually the 'Pentatonic Khancepts'.

[jandro]

great tone

[tq105]

@jandro Cheers! It's the Carl Martin Plexitone into my Port City Pearl head.

[tq105]

Haha! Too kind guys! By rubbish bits I meant the bits where I'm failing to play what I was hearing and the rhythm suffers or I fail to finish the phrase. ;-)

[officervanhalen]

I'll trade your "rubbish bits" over my "good bits" please.

[area859]

No rubbish here!!!..just AWESOMENESS PLAYING!!! GREAT STUFF TOM!!!

[aleksandersucharski]

yay new video :3

[thefretboardmagician]

Nice! :D (there were no rubbish bits!)
