  • Pete sat down with Tom Quayle and asked him for some simple tips on practicing. Tom shows us how to get results by focusing on a singular thing.. let's call it "targeted practicing"... follow this method and you can walk away from each practice session knowing you've definitely improved your guitar playing! He also offers some great tips on "breaking out of the box" and improvising.. how to see the fretboard in a more musical way. Enjoy!
    HERE IS THE VIDEO WE SHOT FOR TOM'S CHANNEL:

    this stuff is golden these guys just unlocked the whole fretboard for you

    What is so great about this little discussion (for me) is that it makes me realise how I've been overcomplicating playing over changes for years and years. I mean, if you can find that root note of the change, and you know the intervals (whether major or minor) in the chords, then you can kinda nail those changes quite quickly and efficiently. It's an incredibly simple way to view the fretboard and to break out of "box" playing.

    You two are individually amazing. Together you have a really relaxed and educated co-teaching vibe. More please, Pete and Tom.

    Ridiculous amount of GOLD in this video. And I agree... Tom would be great on the Tim and Pete show.

    This video is solid frigging gold, especially when stagnation sets in with normal practice routines. The advice here is as useful for highly skilled guitarists as it is for beginners. Quayle is a beast and Pete Thorn is asking all the right questions. Perfect pairing. Honestly, it's been a while since I've caught a guitar lesson (based around the fundamentals) that isn't just some repetitive 'do-this-do-that' nonsense, or thew ubiquitous prog acolyte blasting through mindless, monotonous scales and shapes. Great stuff. Stellar, if I'm honest. Highly recommended.

    I was watching Pete's stream today and asked him what his thoughts on Tom Quayle are, and after a lot of high praise he mentioned this lesson, and I have to say, this was an excellent watch. What a couple of class acts!

    Great show Pete. Man, Tom can take 3 notes, move them around in different spots, at a laid back speed... still will drop most people's jaw. He is really amazing.

    I've been kind of in a rut lately but yesterday I changed my practice routine and it's already way more fun to play. I didn't really have a routine before, I just practiced songs I knew or learned a new song. But now I start with an easy song that I'm good at, then do like 10 or 15 minutes of exercises, then practice new songs or learn a new song, ending it with a newish song that I'm pretty good at playing. It's so much better. I heard so many people say to do it but for some stupid reason I never tried. If you're like me, stop wasting your time and try it.

    We get stuck in those boxes at first then realize that we just need to follow the formula - difficult at first - but with time you learn the fretboard

    Thx so much Tom & Pete you just gave us probably the most important lesson that any serious musician should understand N think about 4 a while N this is about the sonic essence of intervals N eventually when you'll master this ...scales' box will be just miles away from your mind !!!

    @neuk01642 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm 10 minutes in and I've got to stop because I should really do some work today. This video has given me so much to practice and think about and maybe the first approach to fretboard mastery that sounds realistic and achievable.
    Toms approach to scale shapes and moving around the fretboard seems to be what I'm doing (although a little more formalised). Find the root and repeat... I need to know the intervals though because at the moment I'm spotting the visual shape without any real understanding of the intervalic relationship.
    Thanks guys, will watch the rest of this later.
    That pentatonic run Tom does that makes you giggle, Pete! What a player... what a pair of players... now THAT would be an album Quayle and Thorn...

    I was searching for this video/advice for over 4 years. My theory knowledge is pretty poor although I have been playing for 10 years. I had a guitar teacher for a while and he did show me some theory but he never taught me why I need the theory for improvisation and how to approach the neck.
    THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I will be buying some lessons from Tom and Martin Miller!

    I saw the other side of this (on Tom's) and it was awesome, delving on the psychological part of it. Been a fan of Claus Levin for a long while and will definitively check this out. Like I said to Jason Mcnamara on his interview with Tom: you guys are changing the face of music on how musicians are perceived, very interesting and...Thank You all!!!

  • @aquilarossa5191
    @aquilarossa5191 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Best thing for my lead guitar has been learning other people's licks and solos, while also learning the chords and notes of the progressions behind them (not just one genre or style either). It forces me to learn techniques, timing and note choices i would not normally consider, or tend to steer clear of.
    I will hear a solo and think wow, I have to learn that. I get bored playing it very quickly, but adsorb so much from doing it. It adds to my own style that grew from learning all those stock blues and rock licks in major and minor pentatonic with the odd extra note chucked in. Learning the chords supporting the lick or solo helps me understand why certain notes work so well.
    I have learned and applied modal theory several times, but it never sticks. Some good stuff comes out of modes though. If I have to play D mixo, I will play e natural minor with tonic of D. Seems to work and is easier than thinking in major scales, alothough no teacher will recommend it. I prefer to just play instinctively by the experience of knowing what works and what does not. if stuck for an idea, I either stop, or i repeat (or pick slide etc hehe)
    I have also practiced both that whole note upstroke thing to a beat and Petes bending to pitch exercise, i.e little phrase followed by a bend to pitch, or the other way around. They helped for sure. Tom's taking the finding the note all over the fret board and expanding it to intervals is something i am about to try now. Well, as soon as the coffee kicks in.
