Two top notch individuals and players. Thank you to both for taking time and using youtube as a forum for your thoughts, wisdom and making the world a better place.
Two absolute beasties of the guitar world. Im lucky enough to have seen and meet Tom and he is so down to Earth its amazing. Seeing him play his lovely legato live is just beyond amazing. He played with Martin Miller and he is an amazing beasty with the guitar. That was a great day and at the end of it all I won a Laney Ironheart Amplifier in the Andertons lucky dip competition. Just have to try and meet Andy...Not yet though...thanks covid...Peace people and keep on playing..
Sublime. I imagine most of us start by being captivated by a specific sound or style. For or me, it was Johnny Winter. The "And Live" album and the weird 3 sided LP "Second Winter" were it for me. My rock playing, my blues playing, my slide playing. That started around age 14. It was many years before I started expanding my vocabulary. But I did. And now, some 40+ years later, I think I have my own style. But truth be told, behind every note I play I know there is a Johnny Winter, or Steve Vai, or Eric Johnson, or EVH, or SRV, or .... someone who inspired me. And lately, its been Andy Wood. I never played so many runs using b3rds, 3rds, b5s, and 5s in my life as I have in the past few months after latching on the Woodshed. I know its been around forever, but the music never grabbed me. But those Suhr sessions with Ben that I stumbled across one day have made a fan for life. Thanks!
Hey Andy. I'm originally from Memphis Tennessee...I had this friend who is no longer with us. At the time, my knowledge of the guitar wasn't good enough to understand what he was doing. First time i met him was at Strings & Things in Memphis,,around 1982. His name? Shawn Lane,,, would you please do an episode on Shawn, you guys are talking about fusion. To me...Shawn was the epitome of Fusion
The audio did not take anything away from this. Great views, truths, angles and perspectives on being yourself. A few names in there I need to check out. Thank you.
Last year whilst shopping for a PRS SE with a roasted maple neck looking through demo videos on the tube, I came across a Dawson's video and the salesman on that video did this super accurate legato thing... It kinda blew my mind, how could a salesman play like that!? That salesman was Tom! Your musical knowledge memory and picking ability also blows my mind! Cool videos cheers 👍
Such an insightful talk, I fully agree with not becoming too self aware of finding your own voice you trust have to trust in what music you love and learn from as many great players as possible :)
I suggested it yesterday...a record Wood/Quayle, something like the concept of Cacophony, but blending your two styles With today's technology it shouldn't be too hard And maybe with some guest here and there...like Asato, Brewster or all the other great musicians/guitarists of your era
I think it was initially an attempt to get more respect for rock/blues as a 'legitimate' form of music, such as classical and/or jazz. When players started fusing some jazz and classical elements, it was clear that those rock/blues players could also 'handle' elements of classical and jazz, to standards of playing close to specialist jazz or classical players. Some jazz and classical players and composers also started including rock/blues elements. Gershwin and Delius were early classical/jazz fusion composers.
Imo, one of the most underrated fusion musicians of our time is a guitarist named Guillaume Muschalle. He's an incredible player. th-cam.com/video/PIYrlv2gzE8/w-d-xo.html
"Play the things you enjoy playing" is absolute sage wisdom. Such a great chat dudes!
Allen Hinds has been my latest obsession. Phenomenal player.
Guys, what a fantastic topic you've taken and managed to disclose! This definition of fusion deserves to be written on wikipedia.
I searched Allan Hinds and literally fell in love with his playing in like 10 seconds.
same here

I have never got into fusion in large part because i misunderstood what it isn't. It isn't one thing. So this was great for me
Two of the greats! Thanks guys.

I absolutely love Tom. Ive said it before, he is the reason I both quit guitar and found it again years later - 100% true!
Wow, two of my favorite guitar players on one Live stream! Awesome! You both inspire me to pick up my guitar every day.
one of the best episodes ... two great guy.
Great stuff!
Ha! My two heroes together 👍🎸🎸

So awesome - thanks guys! Super cool to have these positive videos! 🤘
great great video...thanks guys!!
Both are Masters of the Guitar.
2 amazing improviser

Oooh! Two of my favorite players!
Great episode....😎🤘
This is great. Thank you.
two of my favorite guitarists!! just bought Andy Wood's sig whiskey barrel model. sounds amazing can't get back to work when wfh
I just got my AW Whiskey Barrel yesterday. Your right it sounds amazing, it’s like the Swiss Army guitar.
Greg Howe! Alex Hutchings! ❤
That was very nice.
My cat was afraid of Tom, but I wasn't. So I enjoyed his visit here. Cool video as always!
I frickin love Tom Quayle.
Love both of you guys. Caught you at the Raleigh Music Academy about 10 years ago with Guthrie Govan.
I suggested it yesterday...a record Wood/Quayle, something like the concept of Cacophony, but blending your two styles

Can you please show how to use Axe fx lll with your head amp and cabinet ?
People always forget about Jimmy Herring
I'd say Mark Lettieri is a good example. Also Isiah Sharkey- from funk to standards to pop with John Mayer, he's just got it.
Will Goodfellow well you’re gonna enjoy next weeks episode ;)
@@andywoodmusic You have my attention sir!
Hello andy
In my mind fusion had its peak with Allan Holdsworth. RIP
great video Andy! very informative. big fan of you both!🙏 is it possible that Martin Miller and Jake Willson will follow on the next interviews?😊
Would love to have them on the shed.
this is exciting! thanks! 🍻

Allen hinds is a guitar God
I would add Kiko Loureiro to this discussion to.
Tom said he doesn't get Shawn Lane. What the hell does that mean??
Two ridiculous Blazers at once wow !
What Is the last name of this guitarist named Chris that andy mentioned?
I think he was referring to Mandolin player Chris Thile
@@bartendermike thanx
@@axeaddiction796 thanx
Chris thile!! CHECK HIM OUT!!! Punch bros
Hey Andy, just FYI you put ".com.uk" instead of ".co.uk" for Tom's website, which wouldn't exist.
Cheers dude thanks!!!

They’re too many good ones, but one of my favorites is Greg Koch
not one note played. bummer.
