Tom Quayle & Martin Miller Perform NAMM 2016 (Part 1 of 2)

[@chrisbedwardmusic]

There's a part 2 to this video on my channel. Guys try to be respectful to the players and to me. I didn't have to post this. To all others keep enjoying.

[@ScottGailor]

Thanks for posting this!

[@bassheadjazz2708]

Tom Quayle is beyond clean! Great lines.

[@davemau5e]

these guys are one of the best out there in terms of fusion jazz.. Gambale, Miller, Quayle, Hutchings, Govan, etc.. Simply the best..

[@GianfrancoTorrisiguitar]

Brett Garsed!!!

[@aaronguerreroz]

David Ruiz yeah add Shawn Lane, Pat Metheny and Allan Holdsworth and that's it

[@davemau5e]

aaronggz Ohhhhh yes to that!!

[@nylonsteel]

These guys always sound killer .Miller is really on the ball on this one

[@chrisbedwardmusic]

+nylonsteel They were fantastic, but if I'm being honest the private show they did was far better than the NAMM performances.

[@nylonsteel]

+Chris Bedward sounds kinky ;0

[@69cohonas]

lol :)

[@yoshiki.g1450]

Two of best modern fusion guitarists. Absolute brilliant.

[@DigitalLoom]

Some legendary footage!!!

[@iodo2004]

Miller slays all, alternate picking machine! No nonsense player...

[@adriyanmusic]

Tom is a killing machine...

[@narizgrande]

Quayle is a beast, So is Martin, reminiscent of the Garsed Helmrich days..Martin is a patient humble guy...class act..

[@cristianorentroia6607]

ultimate picking vs ultimate legato! :)

[@jasonpitre1249]

Both incredible guitar players and absolute freaks of nature. Not sure what else to say. Just wow.

[@thammanoontantichotimai7716]

[@sixtring73]

Thanks for the shot at the end showing Toms pedalboard - really helpful!

[@chrisbedwardmusic]

+Lee Smith Not a problem. Martin was using the Iron Heart and the Axe Fx II for his effects. I have another vid I need to upload so stay tuned for that.

[@sixtring73]

Will do Chris!

Thanks!

[@AromiErotici]

I just made an appointment with my local plastic surgeon to have 2 more fingers implanted on my fretting hand and an extra pinky on my picking hand. I figure after I heal from that........and a practice regimen of 12 hours per day for 13 years, I should be comfortable jamming with these two.

[@alward5678]

Two bad ass Guitarist..Apples and oranges.

[@agis2000]

Fantastic players! Great music! Laney all the way! Been playing thru them for almost 30 years, funny a lot of people only think of them as hard rock or metal amps. As you can see, not so!

[@t-boog2173]

Both guys are superb! Mark the calendar... I quit the guitar today!

[@joseluisnascimento3747]

Very Good!

[@rolax375]

Yeah they both are awesome! I have another video of these two guys if you're interested! I guess I was standing right next to you Chris Bedward! Thank you for sharing this amazing video

[@chrisbedwardmusic]

+Rolax I was hanging with them for a decent chunk of time so I caught most of their performances. More than likely you were next to me haha. From what I know they played over the same two tracks each time so if that's the case I do have the other tune. Just didn't upload it yet as I had my own vids to put up. It'll be up soon enough though. Thanks for letting me know you were there!

[@martialmusicman]

I really like both Martin Miller and Tom Quayle and their playing - great phrasing and shredding too! However, I am getting a tad sick of the whole backing track thing that seems to be popular now. I keep seeing so many guitarists all jamming over boring, directionless fusion backing tracks. The improv coming out of this is awesome, but I hope to see more of these great musicians get equally excited about composition and music for different kinds of bands and ensembles. I don't mean to nitpick, but I'd love to see the same guitar virtuosity expanded to other realms.

[@seanruiz3357]

i dont think your nitpicking.....its a sad phenomenon,......

[@jakollee]

Your point is very well taken. Some real-world interplay between these amazing guitarists and a talented rhythm section would be truly exciting!

[@jackzango427]

These guys do more than just noodle...They both have albums out there and they're both fine players, but make no mistake, this is noodling of the first order! Quayle looks bored as he's blowin' thru them chromatics! ; )

[@jackzango427]

...and I agree that the idea of backing tracks seems a bit disrespectful to all the great rhythm sections out there!

[@MartinMillerGuitar]

I get see this type of comment popping up here and there all the time... ironically it's the people that complain about the "backing track" culture that don't seem to bother researching the fact, that I released a solo album, live session recordings with full bands, plenty of bootleg footage of club gigs, etc. etc.
No offense taken of course, it's not our fault if people take more note of when we do the "backing track thing" as opposed to when we do the "actual music thing".

[@hanatavi9455]

thanks Chris
i have never seen new ibanez logo for talman.

[@MHZHellGuitar]

aaron marshall once said i wouldnt dare hold a guitar in the same room as tom quayle...THATS how fuckin amazing tom is :|

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

Ah 80's porn music with fresh guitars :D

[@daolchang]

well holy crap, now im more into buying that Laney IRT Studio Martin is playing

[@ArtGuitarLTX]

I think I’m gonna sell my guitars and quit after this 😂

[@thesojourner7722]

I gave both guys lessons for a brief period and they have done well with what I taught them ;P

[@thesojourner7722]

Martin Millers tone is questionable, sounds like a multifx pedal through a Solid state IMH :) , great playing none the less

[@OlegKalyan]

Tom Quayle, What guitar he's playing here? Radical looking!!

[@chrisbedwardmusic]

+Oleg Kalyan From what I remember that's actually Martin's Fibanare he loaned to Tom for the show. I don't know enough about the line to name what model it is, but that's nothing their site can't fix

[@chrisbedwardmusic]

+Oleg Kalyan Forgot to mention I got to play it a bit. The action was really low on that thing. There's a pic of me with it on my Facebook page (not music page) and/or instagram @chris_bedward Cheers!

You don't need it because tom is using ibanez now

As good as Quayle makes that guitar sound, I just can't stand the look of the thing.

Chromatic notes and legato mode party.

[@gerrymcfarlane2615]

Ace playing from both guys , Martin's tone could be better......

[@hurricaneAZ]

He does indeed have tone issues. Pretty consistently. always sounds like he is using a shitty axe fx. something lifeless and two dimensional about it.

[@pmamiaro]

talman 330?

[@mikedegroff7766]

Talman 1702M

[@xmillion1704]

Pablo and Mike- TM1730 because 3 pickups and no "M". The M is used to designate maple fingerboard. The 330 is the equivalent model in the standard line made in Korea I believe. The 1700 series are the prestige line made in Japan. So interesting to see him shredding a Talman. His website shows him currently playing Ibanez shred machines only now.

[@hanatavi9455]

martin uses Ibanez guitar?

[@chrisbedwardmusic]

+hana tavi He's endorsed by Ibanez and Laney.

I can not believe Mr.Gilbert reply me!
Hello Paul We are looking forward to releasing your new album.
Why don't you collaborate with Ms.Rira Ikuta a.k.a Ikura of Yoasobi.
Her voice contains much rich harmonics.Cats are understanding its cozy vocal.
Maybe your first time female vocal but it would suite your music.
By the way,Tallman is you! and very tall man you are.
Take care and God bless you!

Interesting soloing, but it seems as if both just go from high to low or low to high all of the time.

[@vinniesmyyth334]

Music litterally goes from high to low and low to high, what do you expect

[@hurricaneAZ]

yeah the style they chose to develop is really repetitive. they're great teachers of fretboard visualization but they play wayyyyy too many notes.

[@Cluless02]

TQ is more musical - less ego and expressive. Love his legato style and tone too!!

[@cazziebb1707]

Miller sounds great! Quayle just sounds like he's running through scales - endless legato.

[@seanruiz3357]

you know I'm sitting here and I'm going,....quale is great ,..but I'm missing something,..and you nailed it,..sometimes these guys can miss what truly makes something great,...bends,..soul,...phrasing that tells a story,
......I will always love Shawn lane for that,.....

[@chrisbedwardmusic]

+cazzie bb Can't say I agree with you but to each their own. Everyone expresses themselves differently and many enjoy the fluidity that Tom achieves. If that's not your thing, completely fair, but to reduce it to in essence "running through scales" is a bit much.

[@cazziebb1707]

+Chris Bedward I don't think it's a bit much. I don't hear any phrasing and/or emotion, kind of like his speaking voice - monotone. It just sounds like he's trying to out-do Martin, to no avail.

[@chrisbedwardmusic]

+cazzie bb That's what I'm getting at. You're speaking your opinion like it's fact and projecting a scenario that wasn't the case. He was phrasing quite a bit, maybe not in a way you're used to but it's reminiscent of a horn and even keys player in a jazz/fusion context. Maybe it's not guitar oriented enough for you, which again is fair. The part about emotion I definitely am not with you on. Myself and many others could feel the excitement in both their playing. To say he was trying to compete with Martin IS too much. I was there for almost every jam they did. It was all laughs and enjoyment of each other. If you still feel that it's just scales, well I can't change your mind. You like what you like, but just take into consideration that because something is not your thing doesn't mean there's no emotion or phrasing or a lack of skill set.

[@hchoe741]

I wonder if he realizes the horns on his guitar melted from the shredding.....

[@BipityBopity93]

Quales guitar looks like a house you’d find in bikini bottom.

[@yukonline]

i like these guys
but too much legato and hybrid picking make me boring, maybe need same break for melodic
make it enjoy

[@DaveManleyguitar]

Rhythmically this way of playing ultimately become too predictable. Especially with these kind of plain sounding tracks.

[@rccarsandmusic2641]

If I hear one more chromatic run I will........

[@IvanDrakaliev]

I love you guys but you are fell down into the technique things with no melody at all.

[@frankie.d1127]

Are you a fusion fan?

[@Julianjahbless]

+Francois DuJour No dude, in fact he's right. I see more showing of a technique than a well made melody phrasing in some parts. Isn't always all about legatos and fast picking notes

[@frankie.d1127]

+Julian Murillo well hey listen, we all have our opinions right?

[@jackzango427]

I feel you on that one Ivan!

Martin is playing one ugly guitar! Ugly design, ugly headstock, even sounds a little ugly. Fantastic playing, though

[@dennisn.9583]

Quayle a great technician but a lousy musician...

[@Cluless02]

Quite to the contrary - he is the only fusion player I can listen to with continued interest.

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

Personally I am just over the mute-mute-squeal-mute-squeal-mute-squeal+ overdone-vibrato approach. Sooo early 90s. It's wants to be hip-chunky-funky, but it's usually just gimmicky.
