Hey everyone! Thanks so much for all the kind words and support on the last few videos. Plenty more coming your way once this App has launched. Until then, here's a tutorial outlining how I think about harmony and the fretboard whilst improvising. I really hope you find it useful - let me know your thoughts in the comments below and check out the tutorials linked in the description if you want to take these concepts further. Stay safe and well - see you all next time! Tom
Just bought the "visualizing" lesson, Im psyched!!
Hey @TomQuayle! Thanks so much for putting together this series. Truly enjoying it! Warm greetings from the Windy City.
Your explanations are simply brilliant, crystal clear, logical, and I'm definitely going to download your app once it's available. I've been playing guitar for thirty-five years, but I know I have serious gaps in my knowledge, too much incongruity. Can't wait to learn, and re-learn things as I should have known them all these years. Keep up the great work.
Very nice Sir. I’ve got to dive a little deeper into your videos, app, etc, this was the first one I’ve seen. But, I think it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. A way to navigate the fret board using theory without having to memorize every scale, mode, pattern and chord, before even knowing exactly what direction I want to head musically.
It’s some numbers to remember and it works in every key. That’s a fraction of the memorization, and needed information to recall while playing, which can hurt the creative flow, especially for someone new to theory all together. It can be integrated easily with other things like the caged system and it makes intervals so much easier to navigate.
I’ll keep watching, but just the one video without even seeing the other tutorial is like pulling the curtain back and seeing the thing behind the moving parts, behind the intervals, scales and chords. Pretty cool skeleton key you just handed off to open some doors.
Apologies for the rant, but I never comment on anything on UA-cam, ever. That speaks volumes. Thanks again!
Hi Tom, Do feel this system works just as well in standard tuning? I know it involes a few more shapes/intervals to remember but do you find it makes it substantially harder? Thanks man & great lesson btw.
Tom, I am 57 years old. There has never been a better time to learn guitar because of people like you. Cheers from Sydney Australia!
Same buddy. It was a bitch learning this instrument the correct way back in the seventies. I sensed back then there was a better way and that it required a better mindset or viewpoint of the fret board. It’s a two dimensional musical abacus that beats the pants off any other instrument once you get it. Powerful.if you know it, harder if not.
Agree
Stay with it Tom. Good information is key for sure. I remember trying my darndest to get the fretboard to make sense in the 90s and what a shit show that was. I am also enjoying this golden age of university of UA-cam as I like to call it keep working hard and correctly Tom you’ll get it all the best buddy.
Anyone exposed to this information at a young age is truly blessed.
This lesson literally change my life. Fretboard visualization is mystery no more.
Tom Quayle is a fantastic player and appears to be very intelligent and warm hearted guy!!Thank you Tom for just being you!!!!
I really respect that you respect your viewers and expect us to have a baseline of information already.
can we take a moment to appreciate how good the camera is
Thank you Tom for saying that "you never think about the note names apart from the root note". All this time I was beating myself up for not remembering the actual note names all the time. I also only think in terms of numbers and root notes. But if even an advanced player like you only thinks about intervals during solos, then I guess I'm doing alright. :)
Great lesson, Tom! Nothing new to me, but I like to watch this kind of content anyway. Always something new to learn. ;) But there is one thing which I learnt in my first guitar lessons: the "conplementary intervals". Which means the same interval below (or above) a given note, like your example with C to G. If you go up 5, you have to go down 4 from the same starting point. And this is the shortcut to every possible way: it always needs to equal 9. If you want to play the 6th BELOW your root, you need to go down a 3rd (= 9). And so on. The same applies for major and minor intervals. If the interval is e. g. a minor 3rd, the complementary intervals is a MAJOR 6th. And the other way round. I hope, I could explain it well enough. :) Cheers!
"Indeed"
-Tom Quayle
This is honestly one of the best videos I've ever watched on guitar theory.
As a guitar/music teacher - this is one of the best lessons for guitarists out there hands down! These are exactly the concepts/tools that I give students to help them learn to teach themselves. Thank you Tom!
WOW, a big light bulb moment for me. THANK YOU!
Such a great player AND teacher. Thank you so much, Tom.
How generous you are Tom !
Absolutely fantastic video to show your way of visualization.
Tom is a great teacher, learned lots over the years from him.
Single best lesson on fretboard visualization on UA-cam. Thank you, Tom!
Bro, thank you. The way you explain these concepts literally could not be done any better.
Just wanna thank You Tom.I never had any teacher.I was just lost on the path after pentatonics.Then i found out Tom and i cant stress enough on how influential he has been to me.His playing excited me so much that i used to slow down the videos of his gear demos to see the licks he played and try to learn them...and now after 4 years of learning i am playing shows in my country India being a medical school student.Thank You Tom
Khub bhalo.
Thank you Tom for the fretboard lesson.
You are very clear in your
instruction.
I'm glad you did this video, I'm tracking with your line of thought.
Mr.quayle you are really a kind teacher...
You rule, Tom. YOU rule. The way you visualize interviews is extremely helpful. Thanks for all your hard work
Exellent way of understanding scales! This specific / generic approch is the best way to teach it.
Your videos are so well made.
Thanks Tom! You the boss
This lesson is SO GOOD!!!!!!!! I wish my guitar teachers had taught me this method... back in the late 80s. Thanks Tom!! 🤘🏻❤️🤘🏻
This is what a jazz guitar improvisation teacher I had taught me. It completely changed the way how I understood the instrument. This is so much more useful than learning patterns all over the neck. Great video
Exactly how I visualize the fretboard. This is amazing!
This is insane , THANK YOU TOM YOU CONTINUE TO INSPIRE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic and intuitive approach. Thanks Tom!
Generic =
Non-key dependent visualization.
Massive respect for sticking to your guns and always staying in P4 Tuning.
I’m always giving in and changing to standard on the fly because other players get confused from watching my hands instead of listening to what’s being played.
It’s bullshit-
Why should I suffer???
From now on it’s will be:
“If your just gonna watch my hands then tune in perfect fourths and deal with it”.
They will probably thank me a decade from now
Thanks, Tom! Great content to help this old guitar player learn things I should have worked on a long time ago! Sometimes going back to the beginning is a good thing to work on! Thanks again!
Best explanation of the subject i ever came across!!! Congrats Tom!
This is the kind of teacher that inspires you to listen seriously and right to the end. It's not just the valuable information that Tom relates so calm and clearly, it's the empowering thought that his focus and concentration might just be infectious.
So excited for the app. If you're involved it's guaranteed quality!
the way you explained everything totally makes sense!!!!!!
I love the idea of how easier it is to think of numbers instead of notes👌❤
Been 'playing' guitar for decades and realize I know NOTHING. Went to music schools for years and never got far in terms of musical or any good impro. Good news is Im still willing to learn and your lessons are really helpful. Keep it up, and thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks Tom!! I've got a bunch of your tutorials and can attest to how life changing they are. Keep up the awesome work mate.
Brilliant stuff! Thank you, Tom!
Tremendous - thank you Tom
Brilliant lesson and well explained. Been struggling with this on and off for years but this is a big step up in what I should be thinking about when playing over changes. Thanks Tom
tom quayle you inspire me to pick up the guitar. Be sure you will see me in a few years
I hope so! Good luck with your playing.
Thanks Tom, you have a very special ability to explain the complex stuff in a simple way, very good lesson. Thanks
Thanks Tom! This lessons are gold.
Thanks Tom!! Looking forward to diving into these tutorials.
I'm not even a guitarist (drummer), but I love listening to amazing musicians talk shop. Tom is one of the best for sure.
Absolutely everyone who’s learning guitar should learn this!! 💯👌🏻
my goodness. this is such a good approach to teaching / learning the fretboard and puts it all together in a simple and clear way love it tom! gonna buy for sure
This must be the most powerful fretbord harmonics video I've ever seen. Really nice job!
More like this please Tom, excellent!!
after 12 years playing guitar I finally got the concept of intervals this video has been so helpful it actually unlocked something in me since the first time it's really incredible how tom thinks when he's improvissing thank you master
As I said multiple times I think you'r a genious, this system has changed my life as a musician and as a jazz player....love it, really clever and clear! Thx for your work!
Thanks Tom, it really clicked when you said just to remember the intervals in each chord then just play those notes. I really need to learn my intervals now.
What a lesson! Thanks!
Good to see this being delivered to the masses Tom. I think this is a highly effective system that also teaches you to fully appreciate the value in every interval. I learnt a huge amount from your download tutorial on this subject. Cheers mate!
Thanks for this, Tom. Always been impressed by your smooth command of the fretboard. I am definitely going to be checking out some of your courses.
First 22 minutes or so...
Just going through intervals... Crucial but everyone does this.
After that?
Gets to the key bit around the numbers / formula approach.
Then it's a proper "ah ha!" moment.
Really useful and not a take on it I've seen before. Thanks Tom!!
I think his tuning system also makes this even easier without compensating for that awkward B string
I wish this was the "default" tuning system. If you think about it, that is the reason why we have so many shapes for everything. When I experimented with this 4th tuning, it was so much more convinient.
@@YYYValentine I need to try it more..
I think it makes more sense definitely.. Unless you play a lot of open position chords. For heavily improv based stuff and originals at least.
Needing to transcribe every cover song you play to fit doesn't sound like fun, even if it might be a good learning exercise.. Maybe have a guitar in each..
I wonder if he uses a different string gauge for the high F
Visualizing The Fretboard is an awesome lesson, I still fire it up from time to time. Ill have to check out the others.
Thank you so much, Tom!
Hey Tom. I just wanted to thank you for this video, I’ve probably watched it 4-5 times over the last 3 months and it has helped me immensely. Thanks so much!! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the Lesson Tom, this will change my life!!!
This is insane! Thank you so much, you're a wizard
Tom is such a clear instructor that I was able to watch this at 1.5 x speed and still get it all in one go
Brilliant! THANK YOU!!
Thanks for sharing Tom. I always enjoy learning how you think.
Thank you for the delightful lessons. Looking forward for the app.
incredibly useful lesson for some of us stuck in a rut. there's always so many more ways to engage muscially with an instrument than what we've grown accustomed to. i often feel that even though i understand these concepts conceptually, i'm unable to translate them smoothly and expressively into playing due to a severe lack in technique or practice. thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you so much for this video, for sharing your amazing playing and knowledge. I've been playing guitar for more than 20 years, and I always discover a new approach from great teachers and persons like you. I really admire your playing, keep up this amazing work Tom, thanks again!! Greetings from Argentina!
Great information!
This could not have found me at a better time, thank you so much Tom! What a time to be learning online. It's quite astonishing to witness that info communicated that clearly, with your experience and all the gravity it plainly commands in your playing. Been studying theory intensively for almost a year now, but nothing I've seen has broken things down as thoroughly and intelligently as that. App looks awesome too!
You are a legend, amazing lesson. Thank you Tom!
Please do more if these, this was pretty solid and helpful 🙏👌🍇
The bit at 11:50 about the difference between intervallic distances and what we are calling "intervallic functions" is critical. I was hung up on this for so long and here is a great concise explanation. I figured it out watching a different video discussion between Martin Miller and Tom, but he explains it so well here.
Hey Tom - I’m a guitarist and an iOS app developer...look forward to hearing about the app! Love your playing, gear reviews, etc. All the best.
Thank you Tom for these heavenly nuggets of wisdom. Subscribed!
Great lesson. I love thinking about the guitar in this way.
Thanks for the years of instructional and educational content, you have been inspiring me to become a better guitar player and musician since the first time I saw your video on youtube, around 12 years ago! Cheers and thank you!
Tom, you have opened my eyes! I've been searching for a better way to visualise the fretboard better than learning note names and scales for a long time. You've gained a subscription and a new student! Thank you!
TomQ is serious .... respect.
Thank you for making clear the distinction between an intervalic function and an interval distance. As a bass guitarist it’s helpful to know that a note will have the same intervalic function regardless of the octave or location on the fretboard.
so helpful!!!opened my eyes, thanks very very much!!
I could of done with this information 30 years ago ! Great instruction Tom you come across clearly and explain everything perfectly.. Well done..
Very exciting news regarding the app! I’m ready and waiting!
very clearly and simply explained info, the big job is to practice everything on the fretboard. Thank you
I love that, thanks for sharing you're visualization with us.
I would love to see a video where you play over a tune (Moment’s Notice, Spain, etc.) then analyze your solo, then examine solo’s from other great players (both friends like Beebee and giants like Jarrett, etc) and compare. I always thought that would be such a cool video but I’ve never seen anyone qualified enough do it. Just a thought, otherwise I love love love the new series of videos and can’t wait for the app!
I've heard about this system before through Jack Gardiner and gave it some thought but ended up not following through and buying it. Lo and behold, after watching this video I bought it and started working on the intervals you go through early in the video program.
What I love about the way you're teaching it is that you're very clear on that you're making it musical from the getgo - something that the vast majority of people teaching similar stuff lack. I've been playing for around 15 years using the 3NPS system for all modes, harmonic, melodic and hungarian minor, (some CAGED) and I can instantly tell any note on the fretboard but still been hopelessly stuck in the shred neoclassical realm because of the exact reasons you mention in the interval program. Although the information of intervals are not exactly new to me, 90 minutes just flew by when I used your process to work on these intervals making music and having a blast. I can already feel the benefits to this clever way of chopping up pieces of information to process MUCH faster than what I've been doing in the past.
You sir, are my favorite guitarist. But more than that, you're a god damn genius, and I hope to be able to thank you in person one day. Thank you for what so far has been a fantastic course. Everyone on who's on the fence about getting this should get their ass in gear and GET IT. I cant wait for the app in November, whatever it will be. (No, I'm not getting paid to say this lol).
Yes! Talk to me, these are the kinds of issues and lessons we need more of - how to think musically beyond scales, and utilise your instrument expressively etc... Subbed.
The concept of intervalic function makes so much sense now, great video- thank you.
32:59 Stares into the camera whilst playing complex jazz lines....I'm telling you this system works!! Awesome lesson!
So incredibly helpful and interesting. The number system is sooo much easier to maintain. As always, just excellent work Tom!
Great unique player , great humble guy ....cheers all you geektarists....play ur heart out ...be yourselves 👍
Always love your lessons, my friend!! Hope all is well.
Thank you for this, Sir Tom
App sounds amazing Tom! Thanks for the lessons! Been learning a lot myself \m/
Thanks for sharing this Tom, learning intervals helped me really instead of focusing on all the shapes. It is much more useful. 🙏
Thank you for this. Exactly what I've been wondering about for a long time. Your playing is sublime, btw.
Thanks for the great lesson!
Oh my god Tom. I just had an epiphany. This video was the missing bit for me to be able to put together a bunch of things I learnt over the years and I had never been able to connect properly. It so makes sense. Love your work and I'll be heading over to your web site very soon. Thank you for the time and effort you have put onto this.
Fed.
Wow. Thank you very much for this!!
thats the exact way i'm teaching my students for years now... getting this approval from an amazing player/musician like you is awesome !!!!
Keep up the amazing work!!! Greetings from israel !
Amazing. Thanks
