Hey guys - hope you're all well and had a good summer? So sorry for being absent from RUclips for so long - I've been on tour with Martin Miller since June and we're still not done for 2024. Off to South America for two weeks from November 8th, but I had some free time last week and shot a few vids to upload while I'm away. Here's the first - hope you enjoy it and remember, I'm offering $50 off my Ultimate Fretboard Visualization Course for a limited time using the code 'TQM250' - you can check it out here: - bit.ly/42Wwwbo
Really funny haha But than youre goal is the Inspiration and vocabulary now. Im on the Same way. So you Not alone. But it makes from time to time more Fun and I love to practise this Improvisation skills. It is really a gamechanging App to make a good start in this area of this King Disziplin of Guitarplaying.
@@adrian1072 Yeah, would recommend the course 100%. It goes through each interval, teaches them in the contexts of arpeggios and scales, has guided practice stuff, and a lot of example licks. You should be able to construct scales on the fly once you practice the material in the course. I have v1 of the app as well, but have not used it as much, it is more for hands on practice once you have the intervals down.
@@papaaemeritus8813 That's exactly what I needed to know about: how dependent the course and the App are to each other. So, you consider the course is - by itself, as a standalone course - an excellent investment right? And the App (which I own, ver 2.1.0 but did not srtart to use yet) may come as an enhancer as I progress. obs: I guess you can upgrade your version for free.
I started to practice Modern style Jazz guitar on the very next day of my seventieth birthday. This free lesson surely takes me to the next level. Big thanks from Japan.
I really needed this! Right at the beginning when you said “some players struggle with getting lost playing legato, not harmonically but rhythmically,” I enthusiastically raised my hand! Once I get lost I’ll tend to just speed up and play too fast since the muscle memory is there, which only makes things worse when I end the phrase and have no idea where I am rhythmically. Looking forward to practicing this!
Great exercise. I had an additional idea when playing around with this. If you apply this to a chord change like V7 to im for example, with the last note landing on the second chord, I think this can be really good for just improvising through changes as well. This way you can work on aiming at hitting chord tones, starting from different places in the bar in a very effective way. I'm gonna try this out for a while! Thanks, Tom!
Thank you. I love the term ' rhythmic cell'. Spent 40 years playing guitar, campfire songs etc and thought I was good, only entertainment value for drunk friends(no insult intended) but only recently during my retirement I decided to focus on rhythm, beats etc. Now that's truly music because songs sounded that much better. Thank you once again for your encouragement.
Have huge respect for you as a player Tom❤ Love the way youve gravitated towards legato over the years 15 yrs ago you were picking as fast as any man on the planet
Thank you 🙏 so much ❤this really helpt me cause I’m a drummer first when I was young and you brought me more to come closer to the drumde ( and the band ) and to use more rhythm 🥁 🎼 in my playing 🎉🎉🎉
Great lesson, Tom; simple, easy to digest snippets that can be chained together; really nice. The only criticism, is that when you’re doing closeups on the fingerboard, we can’t see what your pick is doing. I know the up strokes and down strokes and sweeping vary with the particular phrase, but it would be nice to see how the left and right hand coordinate. Thanks for the great lesson!
I've been in a bit of a practice rut for a long time, having felt so far removed from my Musician's Institute days. This lesson is just what I needed to spark what I know will be great sessions moving forward. Thank you!
I just have all of your instructional materials. For me, you are the best teacher in the world. Your fretboard visualization courses (2 courses from you website and the latest one with David Bebe) are the "real secret" to make anyone to be able to improvise through changes freely and can 100% control over every intervals to play against chord. It's the real secret that no one teach before. (Every guitar teachers let we practice arpeggios through changes and hope someday only the ones who have talent from god will be able to control every intervals to play through complex changes spontaneously by practice that large arpeggios/scales shapes and licks😂). The legacy you left to this world is the most valuable that will be beneficial to all guitarist and will make the standard of guitar playing much higher because now everyone know the true way to practice improvising. You are very generous to reveal the secret that all world class Jazz ,Fusion players don't wanna tell anyone. Thanks a lot Tom.
Excellent class, thanks Tom. Would you say the Fretboard Visualization Course in addition/along with the Solo App are ALSO a powerfull tool to master CHORDS for those of us who use 4th tuning? Thanks
@@tomquayleguitar Thanks for replying. I would have a second question which is: I purchased the latest version of Solo (never used though). I understand the Visualization Course does not "require" the use of the App NECESSARILY, although I can use it as the tool to maybe a faster and more effectice development, right? Thanks again Adrian
I actually prefer the sound of the broken lines, to the continuous ones. It's a good exercise for phrasing, even between faster lines, just need to mix'n'match the various groupings so it doesn't also get time-predictable.
Tom, sorry if the question is not related to the video, but you're the guy to ask. I've started playing the guitar just a month ago as an adult beginner, but I'm playing the bass for 3 years now. To me, the tuning of the guitar really makes no sense compared to 4ths tuning on my bass. I am mainly interested in improv, jazz fusion and (death) metal. My question is, should I simply start playing in 4ths from the beginning? I really have zero desire to learn a single chord multiple times and open chords aren't really interesting to me. I'm afraid that it's going to limit the amount of songs that I can practice... What's your opinion? Thank you.
Anyone recommend spending the $150 on the course? I've been leveling up with videos from Guthrie Trapp that help properly explain CAGED and foundational stuff in a usable way, highly recommended. However I need some more structure, and sifting through Truefire everything is quite 'gimicky'. Is this the one I need?
Great lesson. I'm not quite sure why you're using the letter 'ø' in your "logo" for your Solo product. That letter is used in several languages and changes the pronunciation quite a bit (as I'm sure you know). I guess it could just be a graphic gimmic to you, or do you want us to pronounce it with the 'ø'? Anyway, great lesson once again.

You are VERY WELCOME in BRAZIL (16h november) . Have a nice time here !!!
Please, bring another payment method such as paypal for your SOLO course
it's time for me to enroll, thank you tom
hey tom, greetings from ecuador, please tell me, What tuning are you using in this video???
Hi Tom, I really need to improve my legato and wondering if you have an extensive course on it?
Proud owner of the Fretboard Visualization course. My playing is still shit but I know all the intervals I am playing.
Favourite comment 😂
Really funny haha

Recommend the course? Or one can reach great interval domain with the App only?

Wow i wish i had this guys skill and knowledge its absolutely incredible. Crazy how some people are so naturally gifted.
Excellent! Many of us indeed struggle with the rhythmic control aspect of modern legato. Thank you very much for the free lesson.
My pleasure!
I started to practice Modern style Jazz guitar on the very next day of my seventieth birthday.
This free lesson surely takes me to the next level.
Big thanks from Japan.
Tom when you will update solo for android users we are waiting for that ios is update for free and android? We are thousands .
I really needed this! Right at the beginning when you said “some players struggle with getting lost playing legato, not harmonically but rhythmically,” I enthusiastically raised my hand! Once I get lost I’ll tend to just speed up and play too fast since the muscle memory is there, which only makes things worse when I end the phrase and have no idea where I am rhythmically.

Tom your Ultimate Legato Practice Toolkit is the first thing I do every morning, it’s an essential part of my routine.
Thanks! So glad you enjoy it.
Does he have a course specifically on legato?
@@andreimclive Yeah. His website has a few. I have modern legato 1-2 and they are amazing.
@@andreimclive yeah, check out his Modern Legato series
Excellent video! I haven't seen the timing issue addressed in this way before. Thank you!

Great idea - I've done a lot of this in my own practice over the years for sure.
Thanks Tom, I feel like you explained this already in a different way, but I found this approach actually simpler so kudos!
your lesson is so good !! thanks a lot. I`ll do practice.
Another banger lesson. Really helpful. Will experiment on this from now on and make it a part of my practice regimen.
Thank you. I love the term ' rhythmic cell'.

That's fantastic to hear!
Have huge respect for you as a player Tom❤
Love the way youve gravitated towards legato over the years
15 yrs ago you were picking as fast as any man on the planet
This is absolutely brilliant. That explanation really clicked!
Thank you 🙏 so much ❤this really helpt me cause I’m a drummer first when I was young and you brought me more to come closer to the drumde ( and the band ) and to use more rhythm 🥁 🎼 in my playing 🎉🎉🎉
Honestly, happy Solo user here. It's been very helpful together with the course. Love it.
Great lesson and great teaching style.
Made it to Autumn Leaves in the Fretboard Visualization course. Has helped my visualization a lot.
That's great to hear. Thanks.
Nice!!! A great new learning for me. Hoping to get to practice this 🫡
Excellent as always!
Thanks!
Beautiful guitar!
Major information right here Tom.
Que dica incrível!!!... obrigado compartilhar seu conhecimento !! Sucesso!!
Thanks!
Good to see you Tom excellent lesson 💪🏻💯🎸🎸🎸 have a blessed day

This is a great one, Tom! This was my key takeaway from MFA guitar camp 2024! :)
Great lesson Tom! This approach works great for developing your economy picking timing as well.
I've been in a bit of a practice rut for a long time, having felt so far removed from my Musician's Institute days. This lesson is just what I needed to spark what I know will be great sessions moving forward. Thank you!
My pleasure!
Thank you for sharing.
I love this lesson!!!
Nice 'High And Dry' backing track for the lesson!

Thanks so much for your kind words!
that Ibanez looks really tempting!!
Hi Tom, nice to see you after a while. How do you get this beautiful od tone? Also regards from Italy
Thanks for your lessons sir.. 🎸👍
Your new Ibanez TQM2 is absolutely gorgeous 😍 🔥🎸🔥
Wanna thank you for having signed my guitar. It was a pleasure to meet you and see you playing live
Those 'mini-slides' are amazing 😎🤘👌... I have (must) to learn how to do that!!!
Perhaps I need to do a video on that.
I have purchased your videos a while back & always wanted to ask you how you apply this to basic blues & major pentatonic scales
So smooth man ❤🎉🎉
Excellent class, thanks Tom.
Would you say the Fretboard Visualization Course in addition/along with the Solo App are ALSO a powerfull tool to master CHORDS for those of us who use 4th tuning? Thanks
Absolutely - being able to visualise the intervallic functions all over the neck helps hugely with chordal playing.
@@tomquayleguitar Thanks for replying. I would have a second question which is: I purchased the latest version of Solo (never used though).

Hi Tom, how are you? I'm waiting for so long. Be healhy ya. Don't stop impressing peoples. I'm Indonesian❤
All good thanks! You too.
@@tomquayleguitar Thanks Bro. Godbless✌🏿☕
Tom when are ypu going to update sølo on android ? We want to buy the course but if there is not update... no course.
Best legato on the planet!
Sir great fan love from India
incredible!
nice! Thanks

Thanks!
Next exercise legato for chordal tone 🙏
badass B!
Hey tom. Is the fretboard visualization course applicable for standard tuning?
It 100% is
15:42 Keine Lust - Rammstein
Will your courses work on an Android os?
Hey where com from this legend??😮
After a long time Tom
すごい！
Are the examples still in 4ths Tuning? I have switched over recently and dont want to think about std tuning again lol
Seeing Tom's fingers dancing on the fretboard is like watching graceful ballerina. Inspiring.
No Android version? 😢
Dat Hybrid pickin😮
TOOOOM, TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

HELO,MR.QUAYL LUV YOUR PLAYNG,💫💫💫
Thanks!
hey tom, greetings from ecuador, please tell me, What tuning are you using in this video???
Your example phrases don't sound at all like you don't care what notes the lines land on. :)
Please see you again....❤
💯❤️
Hi, greattings from Colombia. What Ibanez model is that one Tom?
Man, you gotta stop being successful and hanging around the world with ppl like Miller and make some YT vids! (awesome lesson, as Always! thanks man!)
Haha! Indeed.
7:00 min. waiting for… The Lick.
Warning do not attempt these monster licks while under the influence of alcohol.. may cause vertigo, extreme dizziness and disorientation. Lol
this guy takes musical steroids
Sounds very bad......... Music is sound my friend
