I played on 12s for many years and if someone handed me a guitar with 9s on it, it was completely unplayable I thought. But the last five years or so having neurological problems with my hands I’ve had to go very light, down to .008 through .046. There was a period of adjustment of a few months actually where I had to retrain my body to use a very light touch. It actually improved my playing tremendously once I got past the adjustment period. Point being, in my humble opinion, whether light strings or heavy strings are workable is really just a matter of personal preference and what you’re used to.

@gianluigidautilia6417 11 дней назад

wow tom. I knew you and your work as pretty good guitairst (i am a fan now) , but the level how you explained this is top notch. I enjoyed every second of the video. I have been using legato for years, and I always have that sort of frustration in understanding, thinking whether it's 'legitimate' or not, and how it might be perceived by other 'guitarists'. If I may elaborate, I am 49 years old and it is perhaps a kind of paranoia that 'we old folks' have. Let me explain: back in the late 80s and 90s with the shred movement, etc., there was always the tendency to accuse others of 'cheating' by playing with "easy" (well more efficient ) techniques, 'oh, he doesn't pick all the notes!' It was a bit of a paranoia of that period (Paul Gilbert was an example). Now I find that thanks to millennials (and perhaps Gen Z), this point has disappeared from the discussion. Play and use whatever you want if you enjoy it and it makes sense. Look at Matteo Mancuso (of whom I am a big fan); in 1990, with his technique, he would have been slaughtered by critics for not being 'pure'. Now he is an innovator. The same can be said about legato, I think. What do you think about this?

The way you have your action setup is right about where I like my action. This is very true, a good setup and good fretwork go a very long way and you can still play with a nice soft touch. I also don’t like 9s and 8s either. They’re great for fast playing yes, but the reality is, at least for me, 10s don’t really feel too different from 9s when setup properly and feel more consistent. Likewise, hybrid picking and finger style can feel strange with light strings

@tomquayleguitar Brilliant video! Thanks very much for this one. Can you/anyone tell me if you can set up the Solo app to play through ALL notes in a random order for note finding practice? Its a great app but I find too often that I'm just recognising the song pattern within two rounds as you cant randomise the chord sequences or use the scales trainer as you have to play a melodic sequence whereas I just want roots i.e. find C#, Gb, D, B, Eb, D# etc etc. Setup would look something like Scale - Chromatic (plus enharmonic equivelants) Melodic sequence - 1 (root only) Direction/order - Random P.S. Android user 😩 so only app V1 Cheers all!

@6string860 2 месяца назад

These myths are all known to me and I have and also use them. I'm not the youngest anymore and don't have as much time to become anywhere near as perfect as you Tom. I can remember when I was a beginner, a so-called teacher said that you should play every note otherwise it's more or less fake. I've always had that in the back of my mind, but since there's this RU-vid and you've seen this new generation of guitarists live who are actually more acrobats, I've understood that anything is allowed if it works. What I still feel when playing legato is that I find it easier if you tune a semitone lower. Maybe Myth #6 Tom you are great

@niv6924 2 месяца назад

Hi Tom I really hope you’d see this and reply. All others please do share your idea on this as well: I’ve seen you talk about visualizing the fretboard in intervals while improvising. My question is, when you’re dealing with cut changes, do you visualize in the intervals related to the current chord that’s being played, or the key of the progression? For example: If you’re in the key of D and you’re playing a C# when A major (V in the key of D) is played. Do you visualize that note as the major 3rd of A or the major 7th of D (the key) Hope it makes sense.

@juliangitarre4196 2 месяца назад

It depends on your aporoach to soloing in general. I prefer to visualize the intervals in relation to the current chord. The reason is that when we play the note C# over an A major chord we HEAR that note C# as the major third of the A major chord (that we are hearing in that moment). Of course this C# is also the major seventh of the key but that is the level of conceptual analysis refering to the whole piece. On the level of perception in the present moment it makes more sense (to me) to be aware of the relation to the root of the current chord. You can also play more expressive lines that way. On the other hand, it is remarkable that there is also the possibility of playing over several chords of one key while only thinking about the parent scale. So when you play for example over a ii V I progression in D you can play the D-major scale over the whole progression while only visualizing the D-major scale. In this case you MIGHT visualize the note C# as the seventh of the key. However, when I use this approach I tend to visualize whole scale patterns as opposed to single notes. But even in the framework of this approach I visualize target notes with relation to the root of the current chord. In conclusion, I would like to add that in practice, these two approaches seem to blend so the strict differentiation is also merely a conceptualization. But it is useful as a means to the end of better understanding.

@niv6924 2 месяца назад

@@juliangitarre4196 Thanks for this very detailed explanation. So basically what you mean is when you’re visualizing the intervals related to the current chord, you basically have to adjust yourself to play the correct mode of that scale degree, in order to play notes that are out of that triad, but still within the key. Am I right? For example when you’re on a IV chord of the progression, you think “right, I need to play Lydian mode of this scale, I should not play the natural 4 in this context“ This has always been too much brain gymnastics for me to handle, and I’ve always struggled with that. Which makes me question whether it’s the right approach or not. I know there no “right” approach but as you said it makes sense to hear there intervals wrt the current chord rather than the key. I’ll try practicing it more! Thanks again.

@juliangitarre4196 2 месяца назад

@@niv6924 I am happy that you appreciate my words and yes, you understood correctly. Do you have a teacher? Your words sound like your theoretical knowledge is far beyond what you can apply in practice. I don't mean that in a negative way. What I want to say is that someone who has advanced theoretical understanding (like you do) but at the same time struggles to apply it all in practice might benifit from an experienced teacher who can support you in your individual(!) learning process. Wish you all the best!

@niv6924 2 месяца назад

@@juliangitarre4196 I’m completely self taught, and I had a pretty useless and ineffective approach to playing guitar where my theoretical knowledge had always been a step ahead of my actual playing ability. That has been the exact reason for the lack of progress, and only now (after 10 years of playing) I’m starting to realize that. Thanks and I will look for a teacher to improve my playing.

@Arycke 2 месяца назад

Number 1 myth: Tossing away your pick and using only hammer ons and pull offs isn't automatically legato. That kind of playing can tend to sound staccato, especially fast. It's the pulloffs Tom was talking about in the video where most of the issues come from in most peoples' techniques. Marshall Harrison's series on Holdsworthian Legato is a great explanation on youtube. See Chopin's works for some of the definitive legato technique.

@MercutioUK2006 2 месяца назад

Good tips - some are of course somewhat subjective but absolutely worth examining. IMO the real key is to find a combination of action height, string gauge, setup, scale length, and so on that works for you. Then practice. Note on Allan, that's exactly how he did place accents for notes he wasn't picking......hitting the string that bit harder (1990 Guitar Player interview) but I've yet to see anyone else manage it with anything like the aplomb he did....... that's hardly surprising! You're looking well dude :)

@jfo3000 2 месяца назад

I think learning the no-hammer method helped me quite a bit, to become effortless with legato. All hammers just feels easier. It did take weeks to get comfortable with it. I then can introduce varying amount of pull off, even very miniscule if desired. And some maneuvers are nearly impossible without using a pull or two... Even Holdsworth pulled-off sometimes. Truth be told, it's evident that he pulled-off towards the ceiling. I read him calling it "lift off" on one occasion.

@alexlewis8468 2 месяца назад

@crouchjump5787 To be honest, I'm not sure I really understand what the point of being able to have a conversation is in the context of playing a solo and what it proves. Even what Tom is saying here about the link between physical tension and not having enough 'brain space' for musical awareness. I'm not sure that speaking sentances and musical thought are necessarily of equal weighting as far as taxing the brain. If I can play lines correctly and apply musical variation to its execution pretty easily, but come to a grinding halt when I try to talk at the same time, what is the point of 'training enough' to make it happen.. its an intersting subject anyhow...

This video is a case of "these are all myths because I don't like to play with a lighter touch." Playing lighter on lighter strings and with lower action will make you just a bit faster. Its not really a myth.

@Kerriben Месяц назад

Not you as well! Why has everyone suddenly turned on low actions / light strings? Sure, you don’t ‘need’ a low action to play this stuff, but making things easier for yourself is perfectly fine and if Shawn Lane and Allan Holdsworth can get a good tone out of it then who gives a shit. If I get more students with tendonitis / carpal tunnel because they saw an expert on youtube tell them to go higher with their action I’m going to be pissed, because that’s what you are promoting. Tone and control are secondary (and learnable) to being able to play the guitar in the first place without fucking crippling yourself. You can always work up to a higher action, or incrementally increase your string gauge. It is however objectively a good idea to start low and light and work up. You wouldn’t tell a beginner in the gym to go and bench two plates so why this doesn’t carry over into the guitar world baffles me.
