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

http://www.tomquayle.co.uk/lessons.html for lessons with me.

Hi guys - thought I'd upload a recent practice video I shot showing some of the new rhythmic stuff I've been working on with my legato playing. As it's a practice session some of it works and a lot of it doesn't but I thought it might be interesting for some of you guys to see a practice session of mine.

Enjoy!!!

Tom

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!

[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.

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!!

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

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!

loving the octoswitch being propped up by train tickets

[PoperGuitar]

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

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!"

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.

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

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