I've been watching Tom on UA-cam a bit more than 4 years now. I noticed Tom back then demo-ing a Jet City amp. It's Tom's technique that allows this extraordinary gtr work. Not an accident; I bet he knows all of Segovia's diatonic major & minors backwards.
I have been playing guitar for almost 30yrs and I am a jazz guy but IMO opinion the only difference between jazz and shred is tone this song here is jazz
I love love LOVE Tom, but, food for thought: Jason Richardson. I know it's not fusion, but it's like every single note Jason writes is thought out in explicit detail. His melodic ideas aren't the mindless 64th notes you here in a lot of tech metal. I think they're brilliant, but feel free to disagree. Hope you enjoy tho!
@@pathaleyguitar9763 for Jazz / fusion players, it's the ability to improvise that counts, technical facility is just a means to an end. Tom is improvising for most of this video, and also Guthrie wouldn't play the same solo twice. Jason Richardson is not that great of an improviser (from what I've seen), he's from a new breed of electric guitarist that are more like virtuoso classical musicians. I'm therefore not sure they're comparable, would be like comparing Lang Lang to Chick Corea.
@@martinpaddle Oh I actually entirely agree with most of what you're saying. The only reason I responded with Jason Richardson as an example (and also Jason Becker and Petrucci would be good examples here) was because the prompt was "find a more melodic and interesting shredder" not "find a more adept improviser and fusion guitarist". I honestly don't really put Tom in the "Shred" category, so I agree with you that it's not appropriate to compare him to people that are in the shred category, but the prompt put him there, so I went for it. But yes, I agree with you!
Je ne supporte pas la tête de Martin Miller pendant que Tom Quayle joue. C'est vraiment un manque de respect total !!!Tom est absolument un fantastique guitariste.
here's the remedy for your suckiness, download this video., play it back on software that can slow it down to a crawl (actually UA-cam can slow play videos) learn 1-2 measures at a time until you know the entire song then start increasing the speed, i'd say if you do this every day for 5-6 years you MIGHT be as good as Tom :-).................I'm on my 3rd year so far :-) I'll keep trying, My motto is as long as i keep practicing........."I suck less today, than yesterday"
@@madmaestro3002 oh, how kind words, maestro!...however I find with my three Yamaha Pacifica 112Vs,,,the string trees quite irrelevant...., I still have them Graphtecs but really I love the slight rattle of the b and e string versus them string trees, mine are tuned very low whole octave down dont try that in a hurry!!!, floatin against the body, srpings hard and light, Cheers!, K : )
Very impressive playing. Just a reminder to anyone who is discouraged by how awesome tom is - he has been playing "spain" for who knows how many years... its not exactly "purely improvised", he had tons of time to experiment and formulate his moves (which are awsome) to the tune. His playing is wonderful and diverse, but there is a lot of repetition. I think there is less of his stuff getting transcribed because of his fourth's tuning.
Your argument makes 2 statements. 1. He has been practicing for many years 2. Practicing a song means you can't improvise on it I disagree with the second, while the first is obvious and i can prove to you that you are wrong. If it were true that if you practice a song, you are not improvising when you play it later, then such a thing as improvisation does not exist because every musician has and is practicing. Since improvisation exists and both statements are diametrically opposed, it proves that you are wrong. Practicing is how you build vocabulary which later you combine in infinite many ways. Just like when you learn the alphabet and phrases.
@@JonMurray in my comment, "Argument" was clearly used with a different meaning than what you are trying to make it out to be. I was proving a point, not arguing. Either you do not have sufficent knowledge of the English language or you are simply trying to be a troll. I am not interested in either.
Tom's probably the most fluid legato player in the world, with actual good *musical* chops... People rave about Marshall Harrison but I think he lacks *substance* in the phrasing department. Rick Graham is right up there, but he's more of a stacatto economy picker.
marshall is phenomenal and the most technically and musically gifted but his phrasing isnt the best in terms of funky fusion rock, which i could care less. i enjoy marshalls enormous chops and tonal mixture. and i enjoy tom of course. but i listen to more than just guitar.
The long awaited duo after Truth in Shredding era feat. Allan Holdsworth+Frank Gambale, and Cacophony era feat. Jason Becker+Marty Friedman. Tom Quayle+Martin Miller has successfully shaped the future of guitar scene. Good luck to both u masters.
Tom is a Monster!! I feel like this style of playing is possible, but it will take like 6 hours of practice per day and my boss refuses to give me the time off. Imagine that?!?
Tom Quayle and Guthrie Golvan are the 2 dudes that are turning this world upside down ! I just can't wrap my mind around the fact that they do it with some easy face !
Have you watched any Gustavo Guerra? Another guy who will take ANY guitar piece and reproduce it perfectly, with ease and pleasure. And lately he's been into jazz fusion.
I'm assuming Tom is still using his unorthodox tuning? I'd be curious to know if that might gain greater acceptance, as it does seem to confer benefits. I think Alex Hutchings also plays an unorthodox tuning, but not sure if it's the same as Tom's. Both killer players of course.
I heard Tom say in his podcast that, although he created legato patterns he can reuse, his playing, note/scale selection is 100% improvised. Just listen to this vid at 50% speed to hear - actually hear - what he is playing. It's more impressive once you have done that.

Fantastic! I used to work for Chick and I’ve heard this tune hundreds of times live. That’s as good a solo as I ever heard.
These guys are so awesome.. love their playing style..big fan

Goodness. Dang this guy is good. Just wow! TQ is just a monster!
That part at 1:38 - 1:46 is amazing
Max Orto brought me here !
Genius!! 👏👏👏🤘😎
Reminds me of some material from Greg Howe “Introspection”.
5:45 wtf lol
Guthrie govan tends to do those sus arpeggios as well. They're sick lol
didnt know that shit was even plausible
Yeah that was definitely pretty nice lol.
As a Brummie it is good to see Laney being used again, although I think they make them overseas now though.
What a sick intro...
Wow, wow and wow !!!
5:10 insane Tom corea.
So What martin miller doin there?i thought it was collaboration?
PQP!! MONSTER !!!
The tone he got out of his fibanare guitar was far superior. Great playing regardless.
Specially that HSS 😍

Super crazy guitar works
Well...we know Tom likes Al DiMeola....That is, if you heard it... Not bad.
but this version more like allan holdsworth's spain
Damn dude! You are ridiculous! VERY Good!! You could give Jimmy Herring a few lessons! ; )
Muito foda !
God I love this song. And Tom Quayle. Tom Quayle's take on this song is sex to my ears. All kinds of sex. But the good ones. Oh my.
ah be
My goodness...outside of Govan or maybe even 1a and 1b...I defy anyone to find a more melodic and musically interesting shredder.

This is the hair metal version of a Chick classic
How is this hair metal lmao
@@abdelrahmankhaled8239 His tone sounds like the guy from Winger or White Lion

More gear will surely make me a better player.....
How do they compare (guitar technos) to any great musician. Not well.
Damn this is pretty thiccccc
After seeing and hearing this ... I'm just gonna go chuck my guitars, amps and gear into the nearest dumpster. Why bother?
i thought guitar was a thing i dids
sorry, I think that this is an awful rendition and a terrible guitar+amp sound to boot :-(
Why did this Video show up when I searched ‘40 year old Virgins?’ /-:
😂😂😂
@jasper426 that’s why lol
What I learned in this "clinic" I suck far worse than I ever imagined. Absolutely amazing guitar work!

He was improvising, you can ask the right guy beside of tom (martin miller), he always play a different improvisation in every song and every take.

Now I know where Max Ostro has got his biggest influence from. :D
Yeah, my only thing is: if I want to listen to Tom Quayle, I'd listen to Tom Quayle ¯\_(°°)_/¯
Kids an absolute beast. Here from his flawless cover of this piece
Yeah exactly. Max took the whole section from 1:32 to 1:55 to his solo cover on it
Quayle is really an absolute amazing guitarrist ! oh my god he can play ! :)
omg is vanity!!! Be careful!
He is really cool. Also checkout Brett Garsed. Most notable tunes "letters from home", "Breathe", "Fud fight", "Got the horn" andy many more ...
5:12 gosh that legato line is so clean and so melodic
Tom Quayle: I can play this perfectly..... With my eyes closed.
Fckin hell
When a tear comes to your eye within seconds, you know you're in the presence of greatness.
This is crazy...
Me: I'm going to practice harder than before
Wow Tom has beautiful full rich distortion tone and he is a killer player
This solo makes me laugh and shake my head many times from how ridiculous good this is . Tom quayle is his own league of guitar playing 👌🏻

Oh my god that Martin's face when Tom starts to play the intro. So funny)))
Martin so arogant face hahaha
Martin’s probably like i’ve heard this a thousand times..
Tom is a Monster!! I feel like this style of playing is possible, but it will take like 6 hours of practice per day and my boss refuses to give me the time off. Imagine that?!?
Where can i get this backingtrack?
god damn, someone practiced his scales
amazing performance
Excelente !!!! muito bom!!!! parabéns !!!!!
GOOD LORD HE IS GOING IN ON THAT SOLO. CHRIST 2:41
5:45 i just realize tom can do a sweep picking, never seen he did this before Lol
nice!!
That guitar tone is so perfect
Wow!!Amazing playing!!True master of the craft indeed!!!!
Play by tom speed finger
I mean really, what can you possibly say, I’m actually surprised that it is possible to be that damn good! That was truly amazing playing Tom Quayle.
Miller looks so bored and unhappy
Martin resorts to running scales while Tom grabs the spotlight.

dun let scaling control the melodic instead of you control the melodic ..thats what GG said. guitar solo should have a story line and punch line

Sounds great love your music! Thank you
