actually none of the phrases in this and the other video are pre-planned. It's all total improvisation which is happening in the moment. Don't take that as a negative comment I just wanted clarify it. Thanks man!
that's what makes this great, even 10 years on. It's sad that too many guitarists these days are being hailed as the GOAT and the 'future of guitar' for playing some slick pre-composed licks on a Jared Dines shred collab but look helpless when being asked to improvise over a blues progression.
Listening to playing like this and then recalling what was considered great playing in the decades past gives a striking contrast of skill advancement.
Whow, whow, whow. A double Power Pack. I need that kind of music for flying away and escaping to a another world. The virtuosity is reallly awesome. Exactly my taste of music.
Love Rick for his amazing economy, speed and note choice. A shredder with virtually no peer. Love Tom for his impeccable phrasing, tasty, tasty licks and smooth legato. My opinion of course. Great jam.
Appreciate the kind words although we agreed to improvise over this without resorting to licks we've used a million times before. At 2:50 I failed. That's why Tom's shuddering ;-)
@Rick Graham... I didn’t hear it and was listening closely.... was that not a good stank face from Tom? Nice phrasing and note choices, something to aspire to and a great skill to practice.
I find it amazing how Tom quale can make a great guitarist sound ordinary purely because of his phrasing he literally makes his guitar sing phrasing at its best I've never heard playing like it
There is no competition here dude I think they are both guitar god in their own style but I prefer Rick Graham not just because his technical playing but I think he is more versatile than Tom and in terms of who has more tool in the trunk I think Rick is the winner because he has a lot of variety in terms of technique Tom Quayle is very technical too but the only thing that is very special about him is his legato but I never seen him use other technique unlike Rick I think Rick Graham has a lot more variety of technique than Tom Quayle and that's make him a very versatile.
@@jhonesmidtimbang I agree about versatility, however for this style of funk/fusion/jazz i prefer tom’s style. Really I think tom has better phrasing for this style, just my preference though
2.51 - lick from shawn lanes instructional video! u realy incorporated it into ur playing nicely and fluidly. for thoe who want to know, the lick is up a 2nd down a third and repeat. moved thru a major scale position, with a slight exemption when changing to the g string
great tone 4:01-4:04. I thought I was listening to Allan Holdsworth! Especially with that great vibrato on the last note of that run! Great playing Tom and Rick!
From the moment you start playing at 3:06 Tom, I couldn't help but find myself smiling at that part (the entire part until Rick's next turn) because it doesn't sound like improvisation at all; it sounds like a well thought out solo! I was genuinely sporting the hugest cheesy smile at the start of that part. Great job as usual guys, keep it up.
hey you guys are the licklibrary steelydan and eric johnson instructors! i have both dvds, they will keep me busy for long time... great job teaching and top notch playing... cheers! tim providence,ri
This is why you practice all the hard stuff. So you can forget about it and play what you hear. There's no pretense or showing off here, it's not a race. Just a couple players having fun and sharing ideas.
Rick, I must say I really like that one little tasty phrase at 0:50! I see Tom liked it too ;-) It's all awesome of course but that one really caught my attention.
man, rick graham produces some monster players/technicians/phrasers, how i would love to study for a minute under his auspices..quayle, gadiner...awesome..i could listen to this stuff all day, then play for 2 from the inspiration :) nice guys!!!
Hey Tom! What factors made you go with maple for your neck? Is it bitier than the rosewood or ferro option? Tonally there's almost a Greg-Howish kind of bright clarity to your tone here which I love. Does it rock out with the big chords and some extra dirt too?
You guys play so much better than I ever will - but, endless 16th note runs with brief landings on a color notes, etc. - I would love to see what you guys could do with more space (sorry I am sure I'll get hammered for sharing, but just being honest)
This made me realize that rhythm really matters a lot. I mean Rick is an totally awesome guitarist but Toms Rhythm and phrasing is hard to beat! Really blew me away.
Is there any way you can tell me what effects you are using in this video Tom? Your tone is incredible! I know a lot of it does have to do with the Suhr Standard though.
That was awesome guys! It's really great to see two monster players with their beautiful guitars jamming side by side! Seems that Tom's house is the house of inspiration! :P Just make a CD guys and release us from this torture! xD :)
really awesome of awesome !!! I love your greg howe sound !! what pedal you are using in this video ? I'm specially searching this guitar sound , very hard to find. My sound is a little dirty as you can see in the vidéo response. Thank you for answering !
man, i gotta ask, what elevators and shopping malls do you go to hear this kinda sophisticated phrasing. (no offence intended) cos im usually used to listening to really chill and relaxing music, this kinda music just makes me wanna go home asap to work on my chops. demoralizing and motivating both at the same time!
I think rick is in his comfort zone playing insanely fast arpeggios and shred licks with speed picking. (better and faster than anyone else) but still at this tom rules I'd say

You guys are just amazing
so idol mr rick, i wish i could play like you
Thanks man! That's exactly what this is all about; two guys loving the music ;)
Rick(on Tom's account)
Love this jam. Still listen 10 'years later!
Tom's feel, tone, and phrasing. My lord.
It's a pattern. Which is quite similar to Guthrie
The best.
you have to listen to alex hutchings man
I watched this when it first came out haha What a journey!
That will be coming very soon ;)

Rick Graham is also the wrestler Rob Van Dam when he is not playing fusion
Whow, whow, whow. A double Power Pack. I need that kind of music for flying away and escaping to a another world. The virtuosity is reallly awesome. Exactly my taste of music.

@@mountainman8775Rick meant that at 2:50 he used a lick that he uses frequently. Not that he messed up or something. This jam is so badass though.

I could listen to these guys all day long, I love the grove and indeed I'm inspired.
Damn! Just discovered this and this is ten years old.
If thats a wedding ring on Rick's finger i hope his wife appreciates his guitar skills as much as everyone watching this video does.
I like how fluid toms style is. Sick tone as well
This is just too incredible.

tom you never cease to amaze me.
finally I've found both of u in one video. love it so much. keep shred guys.
Love the tone from that maple boarded Suhr!
great tone 4:01-4:04. I thought I was listening to Allan Holdsworth! Especially with that great vibrato on the last note of that run! Great playing Tom and Rick!
i definitely didn't appreciate this as much as i should have the first time i watched it years ago. you 2 are absolute trail blazers!
An absolutely brilliant example of trading licks without ego ... total complementation to each other
Great playing, guys !!
Thanks for sharing your talent with the world.
Greetings from Brazil.
How have I missed this? Still the best legato in the game from you two 10 years later.

wah......two great mans.....Your are one of the best guitarrist improvising that I see never....
amazing...
Just saw another take on Rick's channel,
I really enjoy that style and your skills.
Thanks again!
Never heard of tom until i bought the fractal axe fx ll, still i had no idea he was such a great player,rick is one of the guys i follow
Wonderful! I can't wait for your album Tom!
i just got a member from infinite guitar mainly for tq's lessons.

que barbaros estos dos amigos es un deleite escucharlos muy buena influencia para mis oidos

Ok so I bought a Suhr, now I can play like this right?
😂r
Suhr, man ! ))

Both just monster players, I love the phrasing that these guys come up with. Just brilliant
OMG so good! Reminds me of an album called "Centrifugal Funk" ....
Awesome job guys!!
Now i wanna see you Tom, Rick and George all jam together!!!
So this is now my favourite jam.. amazing work guys.
And the winner is.... All of us.Very nice collaboration.
hey you guys are the licklibrary steelydan and eric johnson instructors! i have both dvds, they will keep me busy for long time... great job teaching and top notch playing... cheers! tim providence,ri

FANTASTIC !!!
Amazing as always.
I can watch this video for 1 hour and not get bored
Simply Fkn Amazing!
Rick, I must say I really like that one little tasty phrase at 0:50! I see Tom liked it too ;-)
It's all awesome of course but that one really caught my attention.
Beautiful !!!!
Awesome !
awesome. i hope to become this fluid improvising. i liked how tq was rhythmically open, if that makes sense
because of you, guthrie and rick, i rerally want tou buy a suhr modern custom !!!!
Amazing playing guys!!! just insane!!
Dois músicos com técnica absurda que deixaram de lado a competição e fizeram música. Sou fã.
WOW!!!! Really great tasteful playing I love it.
man, rick graham produces some monster players/technicians/phrasers, how i would love to study for a minute under his auspices..quayle, gadiner...awesome..i could listen to this stuff all day, then play for 2 from the inspiration :) nice guys!!!
After toms first run ricks like ok got to take this more serious. 10 years later still so good.
rick you are multitalented as guitarist
Great playing! Now if only i could get my hands on a Suhr thing!
5 stars!
Absolutely great listening...
Hey Tom! What factors made you go with maple for your neck? Is it bitier than the rosewood or ferro option? Tonally there's almost a Greg-Howish kind of bright clarity to your tone here which I love. Does it rock out with the big chords and some extra dirt too?
amazing fusion jam guys wicked stuff from KG
Tom, in the pocket!!!
Fantastic guys...
Niiiiiiice ! ^_^ Can't wait for more !
xD im sold on the zebra pickups look
i want to transcribe every solo ever played by mr Quayle. every single second sounds awesomer than the awesome second before
Amazing! Just add Guthrie and you have three of the greatest guitar players
__Vladimir__ couldnt be more true!!
that's a little too much...
Martin Miller would have to be in the mix.
@@DanielVerberne and mateus asato
Greg Koch.. cough cough
Bloke on the right delivers good at the end. The end is actually rather good.
simply great!
Super cool..yep
You guys play so much better than I ever will - but, endless 16th note runs with brief landings on a color notes, etc. - I would love to see what you guys could do with more space (sorry I am sure I'll get hammered for sharing, but just being honest)
Doesn't get better than this
That was a epic jam!
rick you looks like vision lol
강지호 hahahahaha
jajajajaa
hahahha so true
lmao
Who?
Bravo to both of you, this a whole new level of great playing :)
5*
tom, ur tone is unbelievable in both these jams...where did u get the backing track?
wut key r u guyz playing in, btw this is INCREDIBLE U ROCK
Cannot believe that this was 10 years ago
Great job, guys. You sure do those Suhr guitars justice!
10 years ago, wow!
nice and cool playing....
This made me realize that rhythm really matters a lot. I mean Rick is an totally awesome guitarist but Toms Rhythm and phrasing is hard to beat! Really blew me away.
Rick reminding me of Steven Seagal here hah. Nice jam here, always fresh to listen to!
Is there any way you can tell me what effects you are using in this video Tom? Your tone is incredible! I know a lot of it does have to do with the Suhr Standard though.
hi tom, you are both great. :) where can i get this backing track? :) thanks!! cheers!!!
@chumbo
Yeah that was really cool.
So was 3:07....really nice soulful rhythmic feel!
both are super cool.
That was awesome guys!
It's really great to see two monster players with their beautiful guitars jamming side by side! Seems that Tom's house is the house of inspiration! :P
Just make a CD guys and release us from this torture! xD :)
I wish I could play solo improvisation same as you did🤘🏻
Que som Perfeito e maravilhoso !!!!!!
really awesome of awesome !!! I love your greg howe sound !! what pedal you are using in this video ? I'm specially searching this guitar sound , very hard to find. My sound is a little dirty as you can see in the vidéo response. Thank you for answering !

I think Tom was born to play fusion, his playing, compared to rick's, has so much more swing and dynamics, i think rick is more of a shredder
I think Rick has some fantastic licks and dynamics as well!
Rick is a classical-trained musician, you see how he loves arpeggios
Tom plays more voicy, and yep, this base tends to be fusion like . Anyways , Rick is a monster
I think rick is in his comfort zone playing insanely fast arpeggios and shred licks with speed picking. (better and faster than anyone else) but still at this tom rules I'd say
In all fairness, this is nowhere near ricks normal standard I’d say.
PLEASE where I can I get that amazing backing track?!?!
Superb!
this is EPIC!
That run at 1:57 is absolute filth, sooooo nice
What about 3:44 that melted my face
GOD Bless You 🎸🎸🎸
Too much awesomness in just one freaking room!
