Random Nonsense

[BigMcMedia1]

sounds like the new van halen.

[Partyhats23]

Reminds of me of impulse. lol

[Aantonic910]

@robertmosesiscool

You mean GOD? ;)

[adoniascareca]

Sei que você estudou muito mesmo..parabéns pelas suas conquistas, sei que é uma coisa mei difícil mais um dia nos podemos fazer um som juntos?????? abraço....

[Jamsessionroom1337]

I don't understand how he can do that on the skinny strings... Is it just a matter of finger strength, string tension,string gauge,amp? or does the guitar have a lot to do with it?

[richardlpalmer]

@Jamsessionroom1337 Do what on the small strings? I mean, what are you referring to?

[Jamsessionroom1337]

@richardlpalmer Pull off that cleanly.

I can't pull off that clean, and i practice on a 12 string... It's true that i don't have a structured playing style like he does, and i'm working on it. But i can't pull off, on random notes like that anyways...

[richardlpalmer]

@Jamsessionroom1337 While I'm no where near as skilled as this player, I can tell you it's quite a bit different for me between acoustic and electric (I'm assuming you're practicing on a 12-string acoustic, but even if it's a 12-string electric it's still a big difference).

[NikDanger98]

Great technique! very clean!!

[mentedementeguitar]

incredible, man. Perfect techinque

[XICoMmAnDeRXI]

kinda reminds me of - An Endless Sporadic - "Impulse"

[faithandpractice]

Tom I want to know what it's like when you randomly stroll into a music store and start noodling around. I just want to see people go "WTF? What's your deal?" That's some sweet "random nonsense".

[VIIZEROIIV]

You should teach people how to "Nonsense" ;)

[SepaXP]

Hehe - i have same guitar :). But you rock , man ! Very serious skills!

[Ibanezmarro]

LOVE THIS!!!! your style is what I am currently working on

[asioguna]

my dream killer lic...

[0MrRib0]

hearing the lick at 1:27.. I've.. I've just given up hope on guitar -.- HAHAHA awesome playing man!

[vheadfacelegs]

tom do you pull off during your runs? sounds like all hammer ons?

[kyatzz]

reminds me of cliffs of dover by eric johnson only played 10 times faster without losing any of its feeling

[chevy11786]

BEAST



[ixijmackixi]

I envy your style

[custommade21]

what guitar is that? :O

[AritasLTU]

@custommade21 i bet it's S series ibanez

[SwallowedByTheTide]

Man this is so good. Soooooo clean!

[98156go]

sweet sounds



[instrumental713]

Freaking sweet.

[vmarcks]

i wish i could be as nonsensical as you :P

[OliverMazur]

its the best random nonsense ever played

[crisDAwog]

this is some melodic shred love it this is what i call out the box playing

[metalmutt123]

that was excellent im going to post more stuff kinda similar to this pretty soon :]

[assfuck37]

man, what the heck man :s

[CrispyFresh95]

How long have u been playing?

[LarcherESP]

this is fucking amazing

[Liurix945]

I LOVE FLESH!

[qwerkirk]

@Liurix945 nice comment tumb up xD

[einjel315]

i kinda just shat brix of pure awesomeness after i heard this

[GuitarHockeyAdct]

what "scales" are you using? Keys?

[TruNikkaz]

@GuitarHockeyAdct

it's the quayle scale

[reundead]

Reminds me of Cliffs of Dover.

[nGorkee]

Awesomeness!

[diabeticmonkey]

God-like technique.

[diabeticmonkey]

God like technique.

[M6uitar]

i love you u.u

[ugforthewin]

Allow dat.

[z0mgzt0m]

please do some lessons on improvising, you improvised all this and u werent even playing over any track for inspiration for your licks, teach me :(

[williamwst]

sorry but its not nonsense... its beautiful

[doublel4z]

random nonsense my ass

[coolskaterlikeice]

yea i cant wait to get the same guitar in blue x_x

[nuke97]

He can shred without a back up track, plays with feel, he has a nice flow to his "random" playing, and he held my attention throughout this whole video. Excellent playing. I dont know if he can but If he can produce compositions that are equal to his playing abilities then I would say keep an eye on this guy.

[z0mgzt0m]

sweep picking and hybrid picking at once 0_0

that is impossible, my eyes deceive me :/

[soullessSiIence]

You're fucking awesome. If I was on the level you're on, I'd be playing the entire day.

[fatthead360]

Hye boy, you can really play dat thing...

[baikalio]

Very nice nonsense, Tom! I like it ! :)

[z0mgzt0m]

that ibanez s series is fucking sexy

[L2112Lif]

What I wouldn't give to have your left hand...

[JadeMonkeyBand]

@L2112Lif I personally think it's the right hand that's REALLY interesting :)

[L2112Lif]

@JadeMonkeyBand It IS really interesting, but I feel that my picking style works for what I do. His fluidity, however, is something I will probably never master. :D

[TruNikkaz]

im so glad you deleted all of that

hopefully blocked monkeyman too

anyways, you're awesome Tom.

[skarfreak]

like your legato style...

[VulcanZoso]

could you please do some sort of instructional video or a tab (for a standard tuning guitar) on that playing between 0:09- 0:14 please?

that was brilliant and i have been wanting to learn runs like that for a long time now.

[jonsolo1038]

Random Nonsense??? How about Tandem Excellence?

[123method]

VERY Impressive man.

[Guitareben]

This is amazing :O so clean and melodic! Just lovely :)

[thegenius92]

this is how a master play

[xLukexDukex]

HOW THE FUCK COULD PEOPLE DISLIKE THIS

[Exoskeletaljunction]

Sounds like if Holdsworth, Garsed and Vai had a baby.

[Tacoguitar]

0:09 - 0:14 is jawdropping....

[str1ker12345]

awesome playing dude! and really nice tone. what gear do you use?

[HarisDT]

You still make me drop my jaws :D damn you, question:

I'm playing guitar 14 years already but I can't think of progression like you did for example at 0:09 - 0:15 ... I somehow can't pull it off in 1 smooth clean run, how many times did you play it slow, how fast did you advance to faster lvl? What to be careful about when practicing, give us some advice lol

P.S. how slow? Make a video how do you practice guitar...this is the point where guitarists "shine"

[vaijem82]

Simplemente impresionante!!! Eres un fiera tio!!!

[Mattius946]

i would love to have an improvisational session with you man. your playing's great, you really have got it all, technique, musicality, great tone, and your chord progressions are awesome too!

[you2bepwned]

Keep it up man. You kick ass.

[xiozthunderplums]

Insane licks. Great bends and vibrato too

[sefeed65]

What the fuck?

[Chrizbrahh]

I want to learning stuff like this, can anyone please give me things I should study or learn?? cause i jsut dont know where to get started with this type style of music and playing

[McSnurk]

I envy your flawless technique, good Sir!

[HeartOfMetalx11]

thats some sweet chops that guitar looks extremely easy to play:) \m/

[TheMusicCop]

Just lovely how accurate that technique is!

[Metalhead743]

man is it me or did that have some of the song , 'jessica' in it. may have just sounded similar also sounds a bit like 'cliffs of dover' dont really matter though considering that it fucking rocks :) haha

[YayMelons]

..100% crappy...i can do that while im sleeping..just kidding..you're friking insane dude..............MELONS RULE :D

[thps89]

Wow! I would really appreciate if you can tab section 0:08-0:13 that would be phenomenal!! A+++ playing in every regard.

[diabeticmonkey]

"This is not how I would normally play, but if I did, you would all quit guitar."

You, sir, are guitar jesus.

[Utubesuxmycock]

its like guthrie govan junior lol

[thet180]

yoh man how did you learn to play like this. What are some guitarists who play like this that i can emulate

[Kjutte1]

j3m1995, the tutorial to that is to practise legato lol.

It's hard stuff.

[j3m1995]

THis may be to much but would you be able to do a tutorial of the lick at 8secs to 13 secs? please!

[rouschno1]

This dude is very gifted and talented.

does he have any cd's?

[M3TALHEAD]

I just shit a house.0_0

You are phenomenal.

[GuillermoSmyser]

This doesn't sound like any of the "shred" I've heard. It still has the Tom Quayle feel.

[Sweeper5]

@GuillermoSmyser I hear shades of Eric Johnson in here. :-)

[uynnyu]

everytime i hear your hybrid picking i shit brix.. it's so awesome

[YayMelons]

@uynnyu, You must have enough to build a school building.

[xLukexDukex]

@uynnyu might want to get that checked out

[mikem376]

Wow awesome playing but i really dont like your title. Its very stupid and oldish

[pepehorhae]

LOL it has sense XD

[CreamofDirkDiggler]

very impresive....and definately some Brett Garsed influence in there....amazing Hybrid picking technique...

[Leonisgoed]

u should start a random nonsense band dude!

[esgimasd]

best comeback to the video title lol

[sebguitarist]

Is there a tab?? O_o

[Shogun777]

a tab?

[oddclown]

WHat the fuck man?? This is professional .

[guitarjakku]

This is unbelievable! How i slipped past this video i don't know. Ridiculously inspiring playing Tom!

[mitosinuca]

im from brazil and i have to say, this guy is 10 times better than gustavo guerra (guitar idol winner)

[FatalPowerr]

awsome... perfect!!!

[00Dakka]

you should do some youtube lessons...

hybrid picking?

[moncmon]

damn.. your the BOMB!!

[scribbydibbydoo]

what effects/channel on your amp are you using for this?

[xxxcathyxx]

wow... you're amazing

[kasitiworld]

beautiful .

[froterons]

your hybrid picking is impressive, hmm wow I can't really play any of that can I? ): damnit...

[kasitiworld]

beautiiful .

[lidesnowi]

Sounds very similar to Gutery govan.Very tasty clean and smooth.

Nice legato tone

[leekwesi]

Guthrie* not gutery

[lidesnowi]

Thanks MR Spelling police!

[dmnxCGi]

damn, this is a nonsense? if im the one playing this 'nonsense' i wouldn't call it nonsense but something like 'greatest shred licks' or some shit like that. seriously that is something! definitely got cool licks in there, well, at least better than any of malmsteen's licks

[pirrostsakas]

Makes sense

:-)

[Lipegrelo]

What pedal overdrive you use ?

Beaultiful Tone.

5 stars

[j3m1995]

what scale is using from 9 secs to 15 secs?

[TechcoreIsSexy]

amazing master teach me! im from mexico

[rasuk]

it sounded like you took week months or years composing this

amazing how brains skills and talent blend together to form this

[nightmarecinema33]

That's really incredible improvisation. Bravo!

[stevewhitworthuk]

What sort of scales are you using here mate roughly? I really dig it and your whole style of playing.

[SRV463]

excellent playing, very clean!

[4L3CK5isHXC]

ho-lee crap , i wish i could shred like that .

for real i'm like only power chords , palm

muting and nothing else .

good job though .

[rasuk]

practice makes perfect :)

[east25]

wow... great licks!!! greetings from CHile!!

[Undercurrentuk1]

holy crap tom is a beast. i love this guy

[jackthammarat]

Very Cool!! Tom

You have your own techniques and licks.

Happy New Guitar Year 2009!!

[martinlutherkingIII]

awesome man. Are you using your Toadworks here? If so, PM me the settings please. Thanks man. Great Playing as usual kind of Guthrie and EJ mix. Sounds like Andy Timmons in a way too.

[pedromiguelmiranda]

Man, you are playing amazingly well!

Awesome technique, beautiful tone!

Astonishing!

Starting very well this new year!

Happy 2009!

Cheers My Friend!

Pedro Miranda

[grandpasantana]

Awesome dude!

[lauriemonk]

The world needs more random nonsense like this! All bow to the cool notes of hybrid legato...

[murisv]

Killer playing as always my friend,Happy New Year! :)

Muris

[EvoJackson]

Sweet playing man you have great technique.

You should do more of these type of videos! ;)

[derrylgabel]

Cool stuff Tom! Digging the tone too.

[atlantida7]

you go on my favoritos do you mine if i learn same of that licks

[persini]

damn dude!, sweet licks, keep it up man, and happy new year :)

[guitarnoize]

It might have been random but it certainly isn't nonsense!

[Shogun777]

nice playing as usual. do you still use the mesa express? I tried one out and when I pointed the speaker towards my face, even w/ the treble on 1, it was too much high end for me.. i ended up buying the lonestar special.. how do you set up your amp? (location)

[hyde192000]

KILLER LEGATOS!!!

[slipperysky]

gambale + garsed ???

[papuza]

great playing as always! happy new year Tom...!

[asscrackben]

This is Awesome

However you play

This is amazing

[crazy7gamer]

wow who the hell are you...fuck great work

[iamrichlol]

I would give everything to play like you

[nogueradv]

hey man!

your arpeggios ares so fluid!!

I notice that you use 'hybrid picking'

to play them..Am I right?

Thanks!

happy new year!!

[billmeedog]

Outstanding "NONSENSE" Tom! Seriously, that was cool!

I know your idea of cool is typically related to some harmony but nonetheless, you were "ripping" here! A little "shred" never hurt anybody, right?!? (Especially when you can REALLY play, and you Tom CAN REALLY PLAY!!! - You're an excellent teacher too!)

[KeithWhalen11]

WOW! Love the tone and phrasing! I'd give my left nut to play half of this so-called "nonsense"! :)

[BadPennyDonnie]

Nonsense hell,sounded pretty damn good to me.

[ComfortablyNumbed]

You are one sick sick puppy.

Great stuff man.

[mordred90]

wow

[haruko958]

Reminds me of Chris Poland a lot

[starlinginspector]

I love these type of vids Tom cos they are always so inspiring. Tasteful, elegant, extremely musical and jawdropping.

Happy New Year man!

[kirkhetfieldtrujillo]

woah! Nice playing man. If you decide to sell that let me know lol

You using one of the toadworks pedals or the mesa OD?

Happy New Year,

Lyle

[twooos]

Tom this was amazing!!

[andyvicius]

YOU ROCK TOM!!! have a great 2009!!!!

[mraggrovator]

Great playing.

[AndyVerok]

i dont know how the hell can you play legato this flawless but it is jaw dropping:) what string gauges do you use by the way?

[tq105]

Thanks! Loads and loads of really slow practice is the way to go! And I mean really slow. I use 9's on this guitar and 10's on the hollow body. All standard D'addario sets.

[wickedmojo]

cool stuff! nice guitar too! what model Ibanez is that?

[tq105]

Thanks! It's an S2075-FW from a few years back. It's not a bad guitar but I think it's time for an upgrade!

[AndyVerok]

and whats the plan for the new one? do you stay with Ibanez? the AT100 (my favorite is being reissued from 2009:)

[tq105]

Hmm - I haven't decided yet but the Xotic strats look amazing. Not sure how I'd go about trying one though as they're made out of California I believe. Allen Hinds swears by them. I think I want something quite unique.

[soggybomb]

Try a Tom Anderson or a Vigier. They rock!

[metallicamike]

loved it
