At 42 Gear Street I'm joined by the legato master Tom Quayle who will teach me the basics of the said technique. I've never really practiced legato so I'm definitely starting with the simple stuff.

TOM QUAYLE IS A BEAST!!
He is!
I must say Tom Quayle is not only a fantastic guitar player, which I already knew, but also a fantastic teacher.
The way he conveys his knowledge with patience, simplicity and clarity, is just phenomenal and a rare gift indeed.
It is very rare that someone is both a great player and a great teacher at the same time, but Tom is.

He is a very gifted player. I agree about his remarkable teaching skill that stood out.
What seems obvious is that Tom Quayle is just an extra intelligent individual. That is a large part of what is going on with his teaching and interacting here.
@@crazygutka You're very kind! Thanks very much.
Fun fact: Spiders don't have muscles in their legs. They use their blood as hydraulic fluid to move their legs.
I did not know that. Very interesting.
I kill them anyway.
...and dead spiders don't move their legs, so Tom will have to think of a different analogy if he wants students to move their fingers.
Yep. Another miracle of 'Natural Selection dunnit.'
@@pacnwguitars796 Maybe they are haunted dead spiders? Maybe.......
Tom: Vlad, can you grunt "mmmh" for 16 minutes?
Vlad: "mmmh"
Hey, where did you manage to get the script for this video?!
Tom is great teacher. He's very patient & self aware of what makes his playing tick. And he always makes every little lesson very useful. Bravo!
He’s brilliant and doesn’t make legato noobs like me feel stupid but more like “hey I can actually learn this!”
This lesson gives GOLD to all of us. ⭐🏅
I've rewatched this many times.
I like Tom Quayle so much :) I've been playing guitar for 3 decades, every time I see a video where he teaches something I run to my studio to see if I do things right. best teacher a guitarist can have free on youtube :) ... man we live in cool time to be a musician. thanks for the video.
Even with all of his amazing skill Tom somehow manages to break down what he's teaching into easily understanable pieces and make you feel like you can do it too. Very inspiring stuff!
What a great guy - we all know he can blow through Giant Steps & Spain etc at a million mph but he is so patient and articulate and understanding of basic problems despite being a planet further on. Total respect.
Theres this saying "Those that teach,can't" Well, that doesn't apply at all here. Tom is just as good of a teacher as he is a player and that is a very rare quality. What a great guy.
100% agree!
I have found the one piece! Im a Lucky guy to see so a gold Lesson. Thank you Master Tom Quayle.
This is absolutely a treasure trove of information if you know what you are watching. I don't even know how many fundamental, not well known, tips he gives; as well as advanced World Class tips he gives....FOR FREE!!! What a monster of a man. Best Wishes and Best Regards Tom!
Thank you! We can only aspire to be like Tom Quayle! What a genius...
Tom is such a nice guy! Amazing technique and very clear teaching skills.
Tom is not only an amazing player but also a friendly, down to earth individual.
He is!
CatPick Studios 😁✌🏻
Yes ...the guy knows his talent ....great teacher indeed ! Thumbs up. 👍👍👍
Best explanation I've heard. I needed to hear this. Thanks guys! Maybe I can get that stretch with my smallish hands in the nearish future.
Wow...what a great teacher Tom is. Patient, easy to follow, clear instruction.
He’s so good and he doesn’t make you feel like you’re a complete beginner but more like “hey you can do this too, this is how you do it”
one of the best legato players on the planet and such a great teacher ! it looks so easy ! Thanks Tom for all your effort.
Excellent! Not a wasted moment. I love when pros explain things. Thanks for posting. Cheers!
Thank you!
Fascinating, thank you two really nice guys together with a really good breakdown of this. I really liked the way you listened without looking like you were just waiting to say something once Tom had stopped.
Thanks! Tom is a great teacher and really tried to take in what he was saying.
Tom is a humble person great musician great teaching knowledge and clearly explain from the basis and have great motivation to share his technique great musician.Respect and love his guitar tutorial lesson from MIZORAM..INDIA
What a fabulous teacher!!!!!
I love the Potential and Kinetic Energy reference, Tom!
Tom's a total monster on the guitar, million percent right about that left hand technique, everything just becomes easier to play once you start getting it down.
Got to see Tom when he did a clinic here in Manila with Martin.. A really down to earth guy... A really great player and reminds me so much of the late great Allan Holdsworth... Was also lucky enough to have a picture with Tom... Hehehe...
Great video! I really enjoy that way Tom teach. Super clear and fun.
He’s so good even I understand what he’s teaching!
Tom is not only an absolutely great player, but a awesome teacher too. Wow!
Couldn't agree more!
Awesome video cheers for that, what a great teacher he is.
Thanks!
A glimpe into Tom Guayles technich. Mind blown!!!!
New subscriber here...killer in depth schooling on proper legato technique byThe Man...Tom Quayle! Awesome! Thank you! 😎🎸
Amazing Tom Quayle's. Very helpful legato lesson!!! 🤘🤘
Glad you liked it!
Great Video ! Tom is such a brilliant guy ! thanks for posting
Thanks!
AWSOME lesson!! THX
Great lesson very valuable
Hi - great lesson, I've historically had this left hand trouble of trying to Pound Out the notes. Really articulate explanation, cheers
Tom is a great teacher!
Can’t get a better teacher than Tom. Good stuff!
Thanks!
Talking about the weather while shredding like that, so that he could demonstrate the level of effortlessness... Amazing! !
I know!
Quayle makes me.rethink my playing. In a positive way..
Would love to see more of this with Tom showing the next stage etc. And seeing how you progress.
If I get an opportunity to sit down with him, absolutely!
This is such a great lesson. Dead Spider indeed.
Thank you Vladimir and Tom.. I was learning legato inspired by Tom's techniques and I am quite surprised and pleased this showed up in my feed. Other technique Tom masters is Hybrid Picking.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Legato beginners should start the 1-3-5 shape at the 12th fret and gradually move the shape down 1 fret at time, to get the hand and fingers used to the stretch.
Yep, that’s what I’ve been doing since this lesson.
thank u for this this one helped me so much
Glad it helped!
Tom is the best !!
This video has helped so many of my students.
Oh man, that's so awesome to hear that!
Great technique break down
Love the lesson! Greetings from Singapore!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for bringing Tom in for a lesson Vlad!
Thanks! He’s a great teacher and a super fun guy.
Great class!
Many thanks!
Mr. Quayle is surely one of the best guitar teachers in the world.
He's amazing!
@@CatPickStudios indeed
Don't forget David Wallimann too. Great teacher!
Great video
Amazing lessons!! Basic are indeed important, I’ve always been saying : small detail make huge improvements!! Always having problems with my little finger because he is really small !! I guess the more I practice the more I will understand the mechanics of my hand !! Don’t get me wrong , I’m really capable but those small details your will get me even better ! And honestly I’m quite exiting !! Cheers 🤘
I totally agree, it's all in the details! As I mentioned in the video, I've never really moved my thumb behind the neck and now that I'm actually doing it, it has made a huge difference!
Thanks #GuitarSensei Tom! 🤟 Epic tutorial of #LegatoBasics 👍👍
He's great!
Tom Quayle may be the most articulate guitar teacher I’ve ever seen.
I le get it now le legato nice polar white AZ Vlad 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Got to get them in the polar bear colors!
What a teacher!?
Noodling while having a conversation? That's a guitarist specialty...
He’s incredible.
Me watching this is like reading how to beat the boss on level 10 when you are still on level 1. Great lesson though! Veins pop out of my neck anytime I try legato.
ChickNGuitars you’re exaggerating. It’s not that hard for me. Only dislocated my shoulder and a mini stroke every time I try legato.
@@iganpparamarta8813hahahaha
Tom Quale is a mutant man. Just talking away while playing amazing legato lol. Great video guys.
He might have two brains inside his head, one for guitar playing and other for everything else...
@@CatPickStudios That's probably it!
Tip Top.
have to say this has really helped me. Been playing guitar for around 15 years and when i started to learn the caged system i went from playing pentatonics to playing more open scale shapes and 3 note per string stuff. i don't think i took enough time to analyse my technique and as a result my technique suffered but just hearing Tom talk about the hand forming a relaxed I've totally changed how I play and it is way more easy to rip around the neck.
Yep sometimes we can learn everything but the basics. It's great to have someone remind us that with few simple changes our playing can become more relaxed. After doing this video I've been placing my thumb behind the neck more intentionally and it has improved my left hand fretting a lot.
That white ibanez! Great lesson too
I've been playing it every day since I got back home. Love it!
Man those guitars are fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video also!
Thank you!
How lucky are you to get individualized instruction on legato technique from Tom Quayle! I'll take that over the guitar any day.... unless it was the TQM1...
Haha it was great! We shot two videos in our time slot so this was a cut a bit short. I need to have another lesson from him when I see him again!
how the hell did I almost not watch this video !!!!!!
Mmh, juicy. Tom @10:31 'If you come lower down on the fret board...'. Gee, I'll try that!
Move everything up a couple of frets to make the stretch slightly easier.
Move down when the stretch can be done more comfortably.
Yep that’s a great advice, something I’ve been doing lately!
@@CatPickStudios Thanks :)
Good advice. Also, start on high E string and then week by week move down to the lower strings.
@@saadshah7857 Thanks for both :)
Supr ROCKIN BRO 💗💢👍👍
Ha 0:25 Tom's like... "Legato? meh, I dabble" :D
Unfortunately there isn’t many great teachers out there because all they are concerned about is money and I’ve seen this many times and this is the problem and why people would rather watch on you tube for help because it’s comfortable and they aren’t just after money instead of helping and you can keep pausing going back etc much easier 👍
Excellent video! I'm stealing the "dead spider" to teach to my kids.
Oh yeah it’s a great metaphor!
Gold....
Vlad, I think you have a spastic little finger like myself. I've never been able to keep it close to fingerboard and it slows me down. KOOL video Quayle RULES!!!!!
Yeah I need to see whether working on the hand positioning makes a big difference. I’ll be rewatching this video several times!
@@CatPickStudios Yer young yet, I have much faith that you'll get it !!!!
Dude... holy shiet....
Tom forgot to mention though pull off isn't simply just lifting off the frets but he actually employ a downwards clawing motion when he pulled off and that's especially hard to execute like he did with his pinky while his ring finger is still on the fret, talk about total finger independence...
Yeah I need to do another video with him where we dive deeper into these basics. We were on time constraint so we only got to scratch the surface.
This is a lifestyle as well as a technique
Haha definitely.
Nice video, learned a lot. Guitar over the left leg would work a lot better for his hand position.😊
13:46 🔥
Tom Quayle is a great player, but I think his legato sounds so fluid also because of his hybrid picking technique.
Yeah it's a combination of great legato technique and amazing hybrid picking. Even though he claims he's bad at it, he's also a great alternate picker. :)
Very well articulated lesson by Tom!
He's so good at this! I think I need to invite him for another lesson video just to learn more!
@@CatPickStudios Yes please! Would love to see:)
How do you get the volume at legato
Great lesson, definitely helpful. Apart from his musical skills, I bet Tom is a 140+ IQ guy.
Haha maybe!
Mine’s 158 but I can’t play anything near like him lol.
Tom seems like a cool guy. Is he from Birmingham? I have a friend from there and he sounds just like Tom.
I’m afraid I don’t know where in UK he is from. But what I can tell is that he’s a super fun guy that takes his craft seriously but doesn’t take himself seriously.
I have a problem: my thumb wants to rest against my index finger or between it and the middle finger. The more I bring my thumb against my middle finger the more strain I get in the wrist and the more flat my index finger becomes (almost laying across the bottom 3 strings). Is it normal?
Interesting, don't remember seeing that kind of left hand technique before. I'm no expert to give you advice on this so I would suggest finding a good teacher and working on this. As Tom says in this video, there shouldn't be any strain on your hands while playing, so it's good to take a look at it before you do any serious damage on your hands. Hope this helps.
13:47 This is the only way I want to experience small talk.
Haha I know!
-got freaking Tom Qualey
-Explains how a guitar works, what could have been done by anyone instead of techniques that he master better than other people
Are you sure you didn't comment on the wrong video? ;) We do talk about Ibanez guitars, but that's in the other video I did with Tom.
I mean, no i didn't:
This is definetly well explained in different topics, but I also could think that Tom could have talk about his note combination patterns decision, just for example. I hope this had help lots of people, EVEN SO, explain Legato in it's own could have been done by other people and Tom could take it to another level, ykwim? Greetings anyway
Great teachers don’t need to show off, thank you.
I think you're missing the point...
Maybe start at higher frets for less of a stretch, then work into a lower position 🤔
Not just technique but melodic ideas - he’s a killer player!
Yep, that's a great way to work on those streches!
So how many years of practice did it take to develop that fluid ability to move the four left hand fingers in a relaxed, precise way like that?
I would guess more than three. His dad is a great jazz guitarist so work ethic probably runs in the family.
fucking christ i tried these tips and it solved my relaxation problems while playing legato thanks alot
Guthrie Govin gives the exact opposite advice about force/finger pressure when generating notes. I love Govin but Tom has a better approach.
Interesting, never knew Guthrie had a different approach.
It's Govan, not Govin.
I think I found the video ruclips.net/video/M10Dhe5Caow/видео.html starting on 00:38 to 02:00. He can do both, the typical ho&po and all hammer legato. If you have the link of Guthrie's legato please share it here. I haven't found any other video of him talking about legato, it's only about his trademark tapping and improvs.
Shut up & just play guitar - Frank Zappa
Back to practicing...
I know!
Great advice, though I suspect a lot of what drives his playing is in that equally amazing right hand technique he uses.
True, your hands need to be incredibly well synced to be able to do what he does.
The guitars are on different knees
may be easier if the AZ had a thinner neck.. for those with smaller hands.
Haha and I used to avoid Ibanez guitars because they had thin necks. Check out Charvel DK-24, those have much thinner necks but very similar specs to AZ Premium range.
@@CatPickStudios I had a dk24 but sold it... Didnt have the quality I wanted like the Ibanez... Without Ibanez my choices r slim...
Hmm, maybe something from ESP or Schecter?
the secret is, Tom has been stretched his fingers for long time so it is not that instant to get the fingers relax while hammering/pulling off on the fret
Oho, miten tää on mennyt multa ohi?? Hyvä Vladi, jäbäl on kyl loistokanava!
Kiitoksia! Aina hienoa nähdä suomalaisia täällä. :)
Legato on steroids
Opo iki
Fuck the legatos, I just want to have this guy diction. He speaks so well and in a concise way. I want to learn that first.
I'd listen to any audiobook narrated by Tom.
strings 010?
Don't know, didn't ask.
