- I've been hanging out with the supremely talented Stuart Bull over the past week shooting a seriously cool fusion tuition DVD. We've been jamming to one of the tracks from that tutorial and here's one of the videos we shot! Great fun!

This is still one of my favorite jam videos. I've watched this at least 29,000 times
Yep, still watching
I still, too )
Tom Quayle is so underrated.
True...I think he is a Guthrie level artist skill wise and a musical genius.
By whom !!...????
Just in case anyone is concerned this footage is not part of the video Tom and i have done. The backing track is one of three available with the tutorial. This was shot a day or so after at my house in Vegas for a bit of fun. Tom plays through a GT10 while i play through the HT5. Some delay was added via logic audio after recording.
I haven't seen Tom in such a happy state so far ! The fun is contagious :D
i could listen to tom all day. flawless
Tom, Stuart, Guthie, et al. have changed the way I play. I am nowhere in their league, but it really inspires me to shoot for a higher level. Note choice and phrasing are so exceptional. Keep up the great work!
Wtf this is amazing! I've been a fan of Tom Quayle for years and I just now found this video? Both are very great. I love the phrasing!
Has Tom ever played something below amazing? Extremely tasteful, very inspiring!
i remenber some nights watchibg some dvd´s with stuart bull just teatching some guitar principles not that i didn´t now them but i was in hong kong at that time , i had just arrived it was 2003 and i found fascinating that they had those dvd´s there, but i soon found out they had good guitar stores too, thank stuart and a couple of other guys that were teaching stuff in those dvd´s for making me company in those days
I have watched the first solo more than 2000 times, lol
Tom, I just "discovered" you a few weeks ago, and you have climbed to the top of my guitar hero ladder! Stunning performance here, by both of you guys. Enjoyed the antics also!
Stuart can believe what he is hearing.So am I !!!!Cant wait!!!
Great playing from both of y'all. :)
Any player at this level hears the notes in their head first. This is the key
to good improvisation.
I'm in awe.
TH-cam won't let me reply to the guy that was asking about hearing melodies in your head before playing them, so I'll put it here. I can't speak for Tom or Stuart but I'd say most players eventually do get to that point, yes. I found a great way to truly test if you're playing with your ears rather than your hands. Try improvising on a keyboard (just learn the layout of teh intervals breifly beforehand) and see if you can improvise in the way you're describing: think the melody in your head and try to replicate it on the keyboard. Try over something in key of C so that it's all white keys. If your ears are truly well trained, you should have pretty good command and be able to do it, since the intervals are laid out right next to each other. If you can't do it, that means you are relying on muscle memory more than your ears.
TheFutureVirtuoso this is exactly me. I just don’t have a musical sense. I can play cover but that just it. Pure memory from practicing the same lick since 20 years ago
beautiful prs!
Buenisimo!! me gusto muchisimo!!.Greetins fromm Argentina
Impressive...most impressive
Tom Quayle is an inspiration!
Just checked this guys. Awesome take ;)
so much yes
Damn.. Tom solo is super good & tasteful!
Awesome!!!
Dem sockz are straight swaggz.
sick playing
Tom Quayle's Legato is so amazing.......
Awesome Jam Guys!!
Me subscribo.. Saludos desde Argentina! :)
Mmmmmmmm. The bridge pickup on the Fibenare really pumps it out huh.
Tom is using a Roland GT10, I'm using a Blackstar HT5 coming out of the speaker simulated out, however i normally use a palmer speaker simulator.
The bald geezer looks very happy!!! :-) (I can call him that as a fellow baldy)
Tom is the "James Bond" of guitar : )
u rock buddy !
Thanks Yoav.
killer phrasing!
Tell us about the DVD, Tom!! What and when?
I love your socks!
2:53 - 3:10
Absolute monster phrasing by Tom
Tom, do you record every improvisation you do? Did/do you find that this had a major impact on the improvement of your playing? Great stuff from both you guys :)
Wholly.....nice sox
A crucial thing is to always know which scale degree you're hitting, I always see scales as numbers 1 through 7. If, while playing, you're conscious of this, you can develop in a much more organized way, because whenever you hit a note you know which degree it is, and if it didn't sound good, you know what to avoid. Also generally a good bet is to think in pentatonic and just "flavour" it with the extra 2 and 6. As another poster said rhythm is also very important, try to solo with just 1 note.
Nice ,and I like the socks Tom :-)
Agree that you get to a point where you can hear things in your head and then play them. The better you are, the more you'll be able to do this. 10 years ago I could hear things in my head but couldn't play them. Now I hear things, and maybe half the time I can play them right off the bat. :-) Another quarter of the time I play them but they don't come out quite like I heard it. You gotta be careful about that - to you, it's a mistake because you know what you were shooting for, but no one else knows that so you still have to keep playing through it. The audience is just hearing whatever you played, and to them it all sounds fine, so don't get caught up in yourself when you make a "mistake" and don't play exactly what you heard. A great way to practice all of this is to play slowly, which will break you out of playing mere scales because they'll sound boring. If your phrases sound interesting when played slowly, then you're making good progress. In the solo above, Tom's and Stuart's slower passages are totally awesome. The fast stuff is cool too of course, but the slower phrases show a lot of melodicism and there's a lot to learn from there.
These guys are great players. And while the fast stuff is cool, it's actually the slower finely-phrased lines that interest me the most. I could spend all day learning Tom's 8th and 16th note phrases and not even worry about the fast triplets. While I love all of Tom's lessons about legato playing, I wish he'd spend equal time on basic phrasing.
karma0522 I have to say his phrasing is amazing I've never heard anyone like him in my life he's melodic genius just with you saying he should concentrate on his phrasing I personally think he's untouchable in that department I have to disagree
No, I mean I wish he'd spend equal time teaching us his phrasing tips - yes, I agree he's a master of phrasing, that's why I want to hear more about that from him. :) Then again I haven't bought his lesson videos so maybe I should do that and look into them, I bet they're pretty great.
Agree. The final goal is to be able to "sing" the notes you play on your instrument. I'm working on that every single day...
Nice licks
Nice one! I find writing difficult because I can't often spontaneously create something, with interval pitch I already know what something will sound like before I play it. But still it's not impossible. If a melody comes to my head at least it's easy to remember, and sometimes I don't necessarily know what something will sound like if I give it some accidental vibrato or other accent. I guess i try to avoid the theory and work purely on feel, it might break that barrier for me. It's just me tho
Very...Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooood.. :D
Although I am not one of them I am a guitar player. You usually don't have to think about it. You "feel" what note should be played next after practicing for a generally long amount of time. While still learning you do have to think about the notes a little ahead of time.
I almost forgot. There is something I think is very useful to understand. Playing patterns and learning them is making the left side of the brain work hard. That side of the brain is the part related to logic and math. It is the main reason you sound like a robot and not melodic. You need your right brain to get involved. It is the side in charge of creative thinking, and that's what you want in an instrument, so you have to make the connection between your patterns and your imagination ;).
Same…Takes me like 3 mins to come up with one of Toms licks in terms of phrasing lol
Tom is such an effortless technician ... almost like he is doing a Milli Vanilli 🤣 .. no weird expressions .. just gets on with job at hand 🙏 .. the other bloke is not too shabby either
tom you said : " shooting a seriously cool fusion tuition DVD"
is that a lick library dvd ? when will it coming out ?
3:05 ish ..dig that lick.
who is using gt 10?its using preamp simulator or just OD simulator?GREAT Tone
Is that a Club 50 head on emulated output?
I'm not this good, but I spent a lot of time playing jazz a few hours a week over the last year. So here's my thought:
I'm not sure I hear melodies in my head before playing them, exactly, but I know where I want to start and end in a phrase and some points in between. The rest seems to fill. So I partially hear it, but sometimes add some other notes or nuances that I'm not so conscious of.
But as I say I'm not an expert, although sometimes a non-expert voice can be helpful to translate.
Hey, I'm no Tom Quayle, but I can relate as I have interval pitch. If you don't have interval/relative pitch, don't worry it can be trained with enough musical playing, theory knowledge and listening. You don't have to be born with it and it is nowhere near as hard to train as perfect pitch. I had extreme difficulty phrasing when I knew scales but didn't know what each note sounded like. Now with relative pitch I find phrasing easy, but composing difficult, if that makes sense.
Cookin' QUAYLE
anybody know the name of this jamtrack
Hey, Tom... Are you using the blackstar or the boss?
I'm lipreading best I can here... but I'm getting "Tom Quayle Motherfuckers" from Stuart at the beginning!
Who is using the GT-10?
I once got a birthday gift from a friend. It was the picking excercise DVD from Stuart Bull. And to be honest... why the hell did HE do that DVD??? He even couldn't play it himself what he wanted to "teach". (Disregarding the fact that I was much further in my playing anyway). So it's even more nice to hear him playing extremely much better nowadays! :)
Your friend should have got you a dvd on grammar.
Where do you think your difficulty in phrasing comes from? I had a similar problem a couple of years ago. I kept learning new licks, lots of harmonic concepts, lots of scales...But I still couldn't sound melodic or interesting, until I started singing. A good training is to sing something over a backing track and then try to do the same thing on the guitar. Improving your rythm does help a lot too. Hope this helps ;). If you want to dig any further just contact me.
HT5R?
You guys know Sam Coulson? The dude on the right is the older version of him... I mean look at the resemblance
Can anyone tell me the name of the chords that tom started playing along with the backing track from 1:52?
Not 100% sure, but it looks to me like Bm7, Gm6/Bb, and Am7. Keep in mind he usually uses all 4ths tuning, so some of the fingerings may look a little strange.
You should forward this advise to Stuart Bull...heya patterns.
Both things are important. Knowing the patterns is your guide, it's like your abc. It has no meaning without some order and some context. That is what relative pitch gives you. Nevertheless I wouldn't get too obsessed with the concept itself. It's something you learn naturaly as you play. It only takes time. The problem many guitar players have is they develop it, but they don't use it because they always gravitate around patterns. Try to "ignore" the patterns, play whatever note sounds good 2u.
cool socks
what's the multi pedal behind +Tom Quayle?
+Anton Happy gt-10 boss
Pedro Fernandes
Thanks bro for the info
I do that. That's how I write
The socks are his secret weapon :)
Basically you need to have a good sense of melody and rhythm, which will come through continued practice. Put on a backing track, play and record yourself. Listen back and hear what sounds good, what sounds bad, and what you can improve upon. It's important to develop ideas and phrases throughout your solos rather than just running up and down your scales and modes. Singing what you play is great way to start doing this.
Yeah with the right mix I can see chicks in the club shakin' what they got to this. It's hot and it swings...Nice funk Tom.....Did somebody cook some bacon??????
jaja sus calcetines naranjas jaja
I know you're waiting for Tom's reply here, but I'd like to say something on the subject: Ask yourself - do you hear the words, sentences or anything else you'd like to say while you're talking? To me, music is a language. When I think of music in this way everything makes more sense to me. Try, and do some thinking about that and you should get your answers.
I hope this helps ;)
Take care!
I think the baldy geezer is more melodic! Real fast lines sorta get lost to me in fusion, in rock it's exciting, in fusion it tires my ears out! Still great jam guys
such a goof haha
Stuart Bull is hilarious!
Look this is very lovely technique and an endless flurries of notes but let's have some air people!! A few gaps to breathe otherwise it sounds like someone illustrating modal harmony not music for the ear.
I' m not sure what I like more ... well , your socks !
Tom is just lightyears ahead of this other guy. Sick playing as allways, Tom! :D
aside from the stupid facial expressions in the beginning, this is an amazing jam
Attention grabber not used to playing with greats like Tom..He got on my nerves..
/watch?v=t2txO_u2eNg
I think this video sums it up best. The guys is long winded, but worth the listen.
dude probably practices most of his breathing hours, know which modes to fit in the melody, and have fav articulations across the fingerboard, try practicing songs from many bands and you'll have your own fav way to move across the board and ur fav sounding licks that u aptly use, in general ppl don't simply play necrophagist today and cover eric johnson tomm, probably bcoz some preference is embedded in oneself more than the other, that's the tonal quality of every individual, unique
Man, I felt it was just fun and cool instead of stupid, Stuart is just praising Tom's improvisational skills, which are really jazzy and slick, Stuart is a good player, and God knowdss I learnt a lot from his guitar magazines articles, but clearly fusion is not his forte.
Whatever works for you!!! In my opinion ear training may be helpfull...but there isn't better ear training than transcribing and playing your instrument. Use your time wisely. Why train your ears separately when you want to train them to play guitar? Break the patterns, ignore the fingering, skip strings, focus on being melodic, and sing every note you play. It will be hard but everyone can get there, it just takes some practice ;).
As a fan of Vai, Guns N Roses, Zep, EVH etc, I found this very safe, easy listening and pedestrian. What's happened to men thrashing the shit of axes like Dimebag and Kerry King does? Clever ain't always cool.
Wish I had 5% of your telling though,
+Christian Laverick I like flute when it's used in acid jazz, funk or even breakbeat/hip hop.
calling this more easy to listen to than way famous artists, makes no sense
bald*
bold guy, stop doing those gestures all the time, annoying
