One method I use to develop original ideas & advanced chops ...a behind-the-scenes look.

- I was sitting here flipping through drum videos of Colaiuta and rediscovered this clip of a very "active" piano solo from David Garfield (of Karizma) where they are playing a very up-tempo take of "Nothing Personal"... as I began to pick up the guitar I got the idea to show you a behind the scenes look at how I take inspiration from other players directly and then modify their concepts in order to develop my own ideas etc.
here's a version of me playing the tune solo

Rick Beato has Matteo Mancusco on and gets 2.3 million views. I'm going to be so glad when I see you on there. Hopefully, 3 million views.
Watching Tory I thought of Matteo Mancuso, just amazing how it coincides!!! Steve Vai complements Mancuso a lot. I wish he, Vai, learned about Tory. Tory just leaves speechless...
Her ideas are way hipper than Matteo and his chops are nowhere near Tory. Steve Vai? 😂. You are looking at the future here.
@@nakim55 Music is not a competitive sport, Mancuso is brilliant in his own way
I concur!
Been saying this for a while too: @RickBeato needs to get Tory on his show.
Speaking of Rick Beato, I put out Tory's name in his comment section whenever he speaks of new upcoming players. The same on Steve Vai's page. They both need to invite Tory on their programs. It's long overdue.
I do the same and I agree 100%
@@mattdelany6799 Wow. Does he really actually charge all those famous people he's interviewed? Or just the up-n-comers? I don't really like Rick's videos and how he's straining so hard to get more fame but he does have a lot of knowledge about music and music theory. I wouldn't call him talentless. But I am sick of seeing his name thrown around as if he's some god of music.
@@TruthSurge people pay for exposure. The fact that he won’t even acknowledge Tory shows he either has no talent, because he doesn’t recognize it in Tory, or he just interviews famous people, or Tory won’t play his game. Tory is the best guitar player in the world by 100 miles. Beato, and the whole Nashville scene sucks, and they are mediocre gear salesmen posers. If he is so talented, why doesn’t he amaze us with just him and a guitar, like Tory does?
@@mattdelany6799 I feel ya. His son has PERFECT PITCH, though! He discovered that tons of views on YT vids = a good bit of $ so he started to upload buttloads of music theory vids and then once his "look at me" vids dried up (his knowledge of music) he started to analyze bands/songs and when that dried up he started interviewing famous people. I don't think he's all that, myself but yes, I don't think he'd interview Tory for one simple reason: she isn't famous enough to draw tons of views like Steve Vai and so on. I've been playing guitar since the 70s and can play circles around Rick. I'm a pretty good player for rock tunes but I could not care less about being interviewed by him (or really anyone else). I enjoy my freedom and space quite a lot. Fame eats freedom for breakfast. If Tory is happy making music and learning and doing her own thing, that's great. I am sick of seeing "Rick Beato" in the comment section of every video she uploads. These are just my opinions.
I have had the same idea - unfortunately actually never did it. But she definitely deserves it and it would guaranteed be very interesting. She is one of the most innovative and original player out there - simply outrageously fantastic - love her music ♥️
Incredible player, almost beyond comprehension.
Holy superlative expletives... you make me want to play my guitar, set it on fire and eat it. All at once. The melodic ideas, the execution, the control and the tone (especially for tapping without a wall of distortion and yet getting such round, sustained sound...). I am glad and mortified at the same time I stumbled upon this...
Watch out for splinters
Your technique is amazing, but your ear for harmony is brilliant! It’s like your conception of the one drives the other, you’re a master at linear harmony. Thanks for sharing!
I've just studied a whole lot of things, having an immense library of knowledge the challenge comes in figuring out a way to integrate it all.
LISTEN...She is A LADY...and YES...a Monster Guitarist.....absolutely A Genius....Guthrie Govan''sister
The technique is one thing which is incredible but your ear and ideas and flow when you’re improvising is so tasteful and refreshing- ignore that it’s on a guitar if you were on a keyboard or sax or an ocarina it’d be some of the best improv I’ve ever heard; thank you for sharing and inspiring
Without exception, the last day of my weekend, I stumble across someone totally inspiring. Your eight-finger tapping is achingly tasteful. 🤯👍
i think with your technical level you can pass the boundaries of known frames of musical thought and look behind them into your own imagination... Beside human musical ideas there is the incredible world of animals with their vocal expressions and other sounds of nature and mechanisms i think to be very inspiring... There are a lot of different birds live on the trees of my city and i just amazed by their songs and always try to guess what they mean to say to each other...
That right hand chop is just insane.
What can i say - world-class Tory ♥️🦈🎸🖖
I hear what you are saying. I understand the words. Heck I even know the chords you are playing. My only question is where can I get hands that do that or is it a software upgrade?? My hands don't work that way. Oh wait.. maybe you are an alien, after all your playing really is out of this world.
Honestly, I don't have any idea on that front. There's some sort of neural cortex motor coordination thing happening...
Magnificent lessons Tory. Thank you so dang much
Jeff Healey as blind musician pro blues talent (R.I.P.)and you as pro jazz player are the most impressive guitar technique around the world using 10 fingers on fretboard is an absolution feedback of note and sound unique,
There is many fast guitar players in pass and today but my ears from your playing,don’t know why absorbing more note by minute then every one else in the world ❤
Refreshing note choices as always!
In a world dominated by “girl guitarrist plays crazy train solo”, you always manage to show a hidden nook on the guitar. Kudos!
I'm not trying to be popular or really impress anyone... This isn't really so much a socialized thing for me as it is just a pure delve into the art itself. I don't think any of that aforementioned s*** is even real, it's kind of just chosen and developed by little sects which are plugged into the system already... Those who have won choose the winners etc
This is crazy as hell, but oh so beautiful and interesting !! THX Tory !!
Just first came across this and am simply mindblown. First time seeing someone play this much like a pianist on the guitar!!
How can you stay so fresh with all this techniques !! Amazing Thxxxx «
1:36 boss fight in Legend of Zelda: RUUUUN! Very nice chops going on in this vid.
O, my GODDESS ! thank you , great lesson , speechless.
you are a truly unbelievable musician floored
Qué alegría escucharte. No me puedo quedar quieto y me emociono. World tour
My gracious, I am so grateful to discover your music. You are amazing in so many ways. A true musician.
Thanks for sharing. More power to you!
Unfreakin' believable😂😂
Amazing! I watch your videos every day. You know the phrases of piano players and all other players...in and out.
Tory you are like Halley's comet which is to say, a person of your talent doesn't come along every day. Hoping as most of your followers, that you become discovered sooner than later.
Anyone else feel like they've stumbled upon an amazing secret with Tory's playing? You're quite amazing Tory, and I really think it's only a matter of time before things really blow up for you. Then I can pretend that I had something to do with it lol.
I suppose it could, there's quite a bit of resistance within the tech sector though... I could prove it with data but, since they hold the reigns it's really a waste of time... For instance, they can manipulate view counts etc. at any rate, I think perhaps post collapse there might be more of an opportunity... Right now the corruption is systemic, they're making sure that their chosen few are getting everything....
@@TorySlusherit’s always been like that Tory.

also... please do a gig in vermont someday
Where is a good video to show what to start working on to play like that?😢
oh my GOD you are such a monster player - consider me mindblown
👋😊
Amazing Tory!!!! There was a video uploaded today from another musician, and the title of the video is "Freddie Mercury & The "Loser" Chord." . So it goes about the super weird chord in the song of Queen, "We Are the Champion," the chord that is played at the word "losers," and that chord isn't playable on the guitar. But i instance think of you, Tory, can you do it? You play the guitar like a piano.

This woman could give Matteo Mancuso a run for his money! Maybe not as clean but a lot more versatile. Have you heard her chicken picken video?
WOW.......🖤🤍❤🙏✨✨🙏✨✨🙏
You amaze me whenever I watch your videos, Tory! I've been playing guitar longer than you've been on Earth and I'm pretty good, but you are GREAT! And I swear, you're still getting greater!
@@ernestdenov3599 I agree. Nobody comes close.
Wow, just freaking wow. Your knowledge, technique ,unique and incredibly rich interpretation of what you hear in your musical mind is beyond the exosphere. Hans Tyndale mentioned in a previous comment that you are like Halley's comet. I could not agree more.
The main difference between Tory and anybody else, is that she is 4 dimensional. They are one dimensional.
Damn girl!!!
was wondering what happened to the Strandberg? cheers
Nobody comes close. I get so much shit pushing Tory. The knee jerk reaction is to say there is no “best”. Bullshit. She is actually musical, where the other people just play fast, and they say nothing. Please name somebody even close……
Nobody is remotely close, she is light years ahead of everyone. That is the opinion of a 68 year old jazz fanatic who has been into jazz since I was 16.
@@nakim55 you can watch the other channels. It’s all gear sales pushed by mediocre guitarists. Mostly in Nashville.
Now Rick Beato knows how we feel.
Bloody hellfire!!
saw BILL BRISELL play STARDUST on youtube it was okay but i just put two words in the comment section TORY SLUSHER i DO THAT ALL THE TIME MAY I WILL START ON BEATO
I understand what you're talking about, I just don't like to go too much into comparisons because it eventually leads to the phenomena of this is the "ultimate epic version of whatever song". What I mean is, let's say somebody does upstage another, then people are like oh they're getting views, I can do better than that etc etc and then eventually you have like a full orchestra in 25 guitarist playing the heavy metal version of Bing Crosby's blah blah blah replete with Pixar animation yada yada....
@@TorySlusher sorry TORY ww AUSSIES CAN GET PRETTY RAW BUT I STILL LIKE YOURS THE BEST I LISTEN TO YOUR STANDARDS QUITE A BIT
Please add videos of you playing live on stage, in a band or solo.
Why aren't these good enough for you?
Of course, we're lucky she puts out what she does. But one thing I love is to see an artist in the moment, on stage, with a drummer, locked in and enjoying themselves. Something new happens, special. Its just one of my things. Im sure you have things that you like. @TruthSurge
@@Elborrro Well, yes, I just thought your comment was a little pushy even with the "please" at the front. I mean... I would THINK if she had live vids, she'd prob post them or at least one. I've personally uploaded hundreds of guitar vids but I dont have any live band vids of me. I played in several but back then we didn't have easy access to video cameras.
@@TruthSurgeaddiction?
@@fernsehdesign Can you write in complete sentences? I have no idea what your comment means. thx
I take notes as you play them 😊
My friend and great bass player Dean Cortez is one of the original members of Karizma. I’ll send him the link to this amazing video!
btw,
what is your favorite amp you’ve run across that helps facilitate your two hand touch?
Well, after I posted one of their songs that I covered, dream come true, David Garfield followed my channel so I assume that he saw something earlier.....
.... Pretty much fender tube amps do quite well, the solid state counterparts are okay too, and then obviously a slew of modern modeling amps....
Thanks, this post is really fantastic, very interesting and inspiring. I've been following your channel for about a year now, and this kind of stuff is slowly, slowly transforming my knowledge and playing. As I'm typing, you're doing the 13:30 stuff, which is a good example of an idea that is new for me.... 😁
Well, this isn't really anything that one would consider to be typical guitar vocabulary....
Ok, I'll just post "TORY SLUSHER", yes in caps, on Beato's channel on every content of his from now on, so, everybody is welcome to join in that
👋😊
Just for kicks.
A Tory, and Kurt Rosenwinkle album
Now that really would be something special from a compositional standpoint.
Im really shocked to hear about Rick Beatos "pay to play" policy
Im not a big fan of him,but i am a huge fan of Tory.💛
He has a lot of clout on YT,id just like to see Torys musicality presented to a wider audience.
Meh, I don't care about hooking up with that side of "the biz"... They just make everything lame by association, so it would seem....
I got it! You take a whole bottle of Neutragen every day! How else could you remember all of this stuff???? :) hehe my brain if fried from nightmare traumas so I'm happy if I can remember my name. Here's an idea for another album if you did only tapping the whole album: "I Would Definitely Tap That!" wow. Grammy award.... IN THE BAG! When you do get all famous, I can say that I was there at the start, annoying you with nothing helpful! heh Okay.... my 60 seconds of silliness is done. Pay me no mind!
Compartmentalization, I guess
PHENOMENAL 💜♥️!!
Do you have a video where you delve into your tapping technique? This is insane.
Sort of, something earlier .... During the ohio period
I LOVE your approach to guitar playing, it's refreshing and inspiring.
Yup, I reckon guitar playing is in the best hands possible (I am old, I do believe I am legally obliged to use puns.)
Awesome Tory !
I mean this as a complement; you make me want to quit guitar.
Makes me want to start guitar.
Well, please don't do that... You probably wouldn't want to have spent the amount of time obsessing over it that I have, to be honest...
Holy grail guitar ability
How is this not insanity?
Coolio. What synth pickup is that?
Gk3
you are fucking unreal
nothing really helped me improving but great play tho!
The point is, capturing the essence of what someone else is doing, technical or otherwise, without really stealing it or copying it directly...
I’m speechless
Amazing! How did/do you get the hand strength for legato and tapping WITH a clean tone ? Thanks Tory 😎
I'm not sure, in all honesty I think maybe overhand striking the strings gives you more leverage than trying to basically grip them hard with your left hands maybe? There is sort of a technique to it, I've tried to explain this, a lot of people just don't really handle or strike the string the right way, and then it kind of compounds when you start adding a bunch of extra notes and chords... I guess it all started back when I was trying to take ideas from famous pianists in their writings memoirs etc. I happened upon this book written by August something, anyway she was a piano student of Franz Liszt ... So there were some kind of mechanical finger hand things in there that kind of stuck in my mind, I've tried to apply some of that kind of thinking...
@@TorySlusher you need to do a video and explain how to get the tone/sounds, SLOW it down for us mere mortals.
@@nakim55haha.. as if that would help. But good idea anyway.
Amazing 🤩
Oh Tory, you've never stoped me wonder!
You are bad ass!
😲Impressionnant !! 🤩
Peut-être une pédale "Infinite" (tc electronic) pour les accords ??
Why?
@@TorySlusher Pour maintenir les accords le temps que tu en as envie et besoin ....
Mais le temps de travail avec les pieds serait trop long .....
Mauvaise idée 🤔
Wow genious
Thanks for giving us a glimpse of what goes on in your mind when you're playing. I hope its at least as amazing to you as it is to us. Do you have Perfect Pitch? Your ability hear and then perform such complicated music, patterns, etc. so quickly and what seems effortlessly, is extraordinary. Could you share any insights on how you visualize the fretboard in general, if you even visualize it?
Definitely need to get you on Rick Beato's Channel.
I probably have what you could call "guitarist perfect pitch", meaning, I can figure something out very quickly and know what part of the neck to do it in... As far as like naming a note out of the blue or something, no....
The fingerboard is a matrices grid. It has its rules both vertically and horizontally, as you know... I guess it's how things overlap between the high and low registers and the high and low strings is where things get a little bit complicated. I guess nowadays I kind of look at it like "zones for certain specific reasons"... For instance if I was doing two handed stuff and I really wanted a very clear separation of material, I might be using chords on the high strings down near the nut, and tapping melodic stuff with the right hand on the lower strings the way up high, due to the disparity between the two sounds etc also the Sonic equalization of the fact that chords down there and on the high strings have a somewhat tinnier quality versus in different registers where it changes, likewise, the higher notes on the thicker strings gives you a fuller rounder warmer sound... And of course in doing all of this you can essentially have both hands in the same general octave if you want... or not...
@@TorySlusher Your "guitarist perfect pitch" is one of the most impressive things I've seen on guitar. This would be a great topic to cover in one of your videos, particularly if you have a specific way to quickly develop it.🤔 Thanks
Crikey!
I like TJ Helmerich too
To be honest, I've never really listened to the guy
The most I love about Tory ? She so humble human being .❤
Far far away !!
The most humble, therefore, I win....
Jkjk
@@TorySlusher lol
I don't know why but your tone and playing reminds me of being a kid, in a really good way. I don't even know where I would have heard this stuff because my parents weren't really into jazz. Love your playing.
I have tried to develop a very singular tone that is both fairly conventional but also deceptively complex... And it really comes from studying the acoustical physics and equalization properties of other instruments.
@@TorySlusher Very cool! I should put a lot more effort into dialing in a good tone. I just pack on a bunch of distortion, mids way up (I really like Coltrane's tone especially on interstellar space) with a bit of delay, sometimes reverb... But I don't really put much effort in. About as much thought and effort as this reply haha! But I really don't have a sweet clue about how to really get a good tone. I also can't play jazz. I'm still really learning all my keys and only recently developed my ear enough to hear the chord changes though the solo itself. Anyhoo my point is, you really inspire me to be better! I also dabbled years ago with 8 finger tapping, which I really love, but I'm also a classical guitarist so I find my nails are awful for tapping. I think I noticed you have longish nails for picking, so I don't know how you developed your tapping so well with any kind of nail at all... Maybe I'm wrong though because I've been wrong about a great many things haha! You're playing is truly mind blowing when I think about it. You're more like a pianist! I want to do what you do. I will eventually, but art has kind of taken over my mind as of late.
It's probably that whole tone/lydian sound. It's used heavily in old school cartoons. Looney Tunes etc.
@@MeTriviSlipKlokDriva I appreciate your input, but I don't think so. I think it's because of live performances I would see on TV with like Myles Davis and stuff. I use the whole tone tonality quite a lot in my own playing. I think it's the bebop elements of Tori's playing plus the tone itself is a major factor, but definitely the bebop stuff. I really didn't watch many cartoons as a kid, or TV for that matter... I know I stated that I would see performances on TV, but that would only be while mom and dad had TV on while cooking supper or something. But I feel like in the early 90's every music or book store had bebop playing constantly, at least where I grew up.
Nice
GOAT
Metaphorically speaking
It’s fun when people adapt techniques from multiple sorces.
Wish it could be more. Keep doing what you’re doing 👍
👋😊😊😊😊😊😊
these without the drumming are greatly appreciated...i still have a track which the opening chops and rounds still need a bit of redefinition....if you know what i mean.
Tory you're right up there with Michael landau,chick corea and shawn lane 😊❤
Thanks!

Top notch thinkin’
Thanks for giving me another technique to pursue. 👍
Tory, awesome playing! Wow!
Incredible !!!
Stupendous!!!
That is some crazy good tapping technique.
Hi Tory. Watched your videos for the first time not long ago. Found you when I was looking for a review of a Fesley guitar (which I promptly purchased and am enjoying.) Watched a lot more of your content since then, and wanted to thank you for blowing my mind! Completely dismantled the boxes and frameworks I'd created for my playing and my understanding of musicality. In my mind it was like analyzing a spreadsheet in a cubicle with charts and crap all over the walls. Now playing feels like I'm making the decisions and have control over what I want to sound like. Profundity and gratitude are difficult to convey in a comments section, so just a big thanks from some guy far away.
Well, yeah, there's plenty of instruments that are definitely playable and usable these days, I just basically look for one that's got this extra mojo. The green telecaster I have definitely has it, for example... Beyond that, yes, you kind of have to look for more expensive instruments...
I have to stop and give you kudos Tory, at just 3:20 in;; the filming, sound and playing so far are already humbling to all us mere mortals! It might take me days to get through this one; too much inspiration not to take breaks to try to do something remotely as original!
I had to stop again at 9:20 to say as a fan for a while, that I think this is a new level even for you; the tapping chordal improv was so clean, smooth and makes musical sense; next level in jazz guitar tapping! It also stands as a great example of why Teles work great for jazz1
Actually, I've been able to do this kind of thing for many many years.... I don't do everything I can do in every single video 😜
@@TorySlusher Excellent point; I only know what I have experienced, not the tens of thousands of hours of playing that never made it into a video!
Your playing is delightful. It's so entertaining to watch too.
You are the best female guitarist I ever saw🙏🫡❤️🎸
What’s female have to do with it, she is the GOAT
i'm a Gospel keyboardist trying to improve my jazzy improv, this is gold!
Yeah, I tend to think of it as textual ideas at the end of the day. A lot of people approach it from the perspective of: here's this chord progression, here's this lick etc. I tend to just think here is this modular textural thing... And then you can just change the harmony associated with it...
- Thrilling & delicious!
👍
ALWAYS AN INSPIRATION!!
Very Cool Tory!
You are the best.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What the hell is going on?! That was ridiculous!
I pretty much only listened to a lot of jazz pianists over the last 10 years... I got really tired of the guitar scene. It was and is kind of just people, I don't know, I don't want to be insulting... Just doing the Olympics of guitar, it's just not very interesting to me on a musical level... Now, if I was apt to see the guitar like it was a video game controller, that might be a different story. There's no problem or nothing wrong with looking at it anyway you want of course, it just stopped being appealing to me, I guess... Every time I would hear like typical rock riffs and then a solo line come in on top of it.... Ugghhh ... I guess it's like similar to what most guitar players hear when they listen to AI...
@@TorySlusher I feel like I just got told off for having shred in my name. Sorry 😥
😎Well well, My right hand seems to have a ready made dexterity, and seems to like tapping, while I hold down a Bb m 6-13 with my left hand, Hmmmm. How did that happen? I guess I've been watching you too much!. Do you use your nails on your right hand? Mine seem to work well for me. Oh and my right hand, likes triads as well!!!??? I'll be a blue nosed gopher! 😎
