Hey everyone! Hope you're doing well. So sorry for the lack of lesson and playing content on the channel. I now have WAY more time to produce my own material for various reasons, so here goes! Hope you all enjoy the video and find it useful.

Apology welcomed and accepted! So glad you're back to playing music! I'll be honest, after a while, I rarely even bothered watching any of those gear demos :-/

Tom, your lesson is great, your videos are great, you look great, and your guitar looks slightly different from the TQM1...*new model???* (looks freakin awesome)

How do you get that tone? That seems to be my biggest pain point right now. My own legato doesn't sound anything like this, even when played slow. Edit: I'm not fast, sadly.

Today I learned -My first finger is lazy -I have 4 first fingers

Martin, do you feel this concept works in ALT picking runs too? im asking about the muting job of the index

Tom Quayle saying he sucks at picking. Man, you're so humble.

Well, that's why he's so good at legato....unlike Rick who is good at both.

This is the kind of camera focus that I can only dream of

Wow - this is great stuff Tom! I never thought about this before and I had no idea how lazy my 1st finger actually is. Back to the woodshed haha!

So happy to see you producing this kind of content again!

Thank you for the upload!!

Great lesson!!

THIS IS SO HELPFUL. THANK YOU!

When I learned bass, I was informed the importance of the 'one finger per fret' rule. Particularly because of the tension required of our muscles along the back of the hand and forearm. Sometimes there's reason to use more than one finger to press (chords and the like), but this skill is very important to develop on bass because of the typically higher action required for fretting down a bass. I never thought of it as 'lazy finger', but it does make sense. I still make this mistake on guitar a lot. This is a great video, Tom, thanks!

Love this vid. Fantastic

This is great stuff! Thanks Tom!

Thanks very much Tom! Loads of useful tips and information

Tom, I am glad your providing lessons again. You're my favourite online guitar teacher by far.

good and useful content thanks

This lesson is pure gold - initially so counter intuitive, and yet I can immediately notice the improvement, thank you so much !

ur flow is flawless man!! very useful and inspiring as always.

love you for this

This is gold🙌🏾 I never heard anything like this before. Thank you sir

thank you verymuch for the lesson👍

Thank you Tom, this is the most exciting guitar lesson I had last years. The tension really goes away!

Thanks for this lesson Tom! I recently bought three of your videos an they've helped so much. This will definitely help with the legato aspect!

Awesome lesson. This was super helpful for me. Definitely going to get your course when I've got some extra practice time.

Awesome lesson, thank you so much 💃🎶💃🎶🇦🇺

excellent video

This is a perfect lesson, at the perfect time. Thank you!

man that is very good news....looking forward to your new content. feeling so happy :)

This is a GREAT advice.

I’m more of a picker, but was wanting to work more on my legato. This is extremely valuable information I hadn’t even considered. thank you!

you have no idea how much this video has helped me!! thank you so much!!

I’m a traditional student/player and definitely have this “anchoring” problem. The way you describe the “rhythmic accuracy & hand tension” pitfalls of the traditional anchoring technique make a lot of sense. I’m going to try your exercise to see if I can make my first finger more “active”. Thank you for the well-produced video, Mr. Quayle! 👍🏼👍🏼

It's not a problem, play how you want. There are plenty of as accomplished or more accomplished players who actually recommend keeping your first finger down. By using this method you are creating unnecessary movement in your hand that is not required. Clearly, either method works for different people so don't take one as gospel. But know that there isn't a "problem" here, there is just a different method. There is a lot less tension in my hand when keeping my first finger down and there is a lot less wasted movement so playing is nice and swift for pull offs

I love this video! I have only recently begun purposefully building up my legato technique as an advanced part of my playing. I have noticed in my picking lines that often the first finger of my left hand and it's being late on a string change is THE thing that has gummed up the faster lines. So it is so incredibly fitting that you came out with this video. Thank you, Tom!

Brilliant advice. Very helpful. We need more of that. Thank You very much. 👌👍

GREAT lesson! I have your modern legato lesson pack. This is a perfect addition, maybe the most important element for me.

Great to have you back Tom. Great lesson. I find that I help this as well practicing hammer-on from nowhere licks. It's really amazing how relaxed your hand can be allowed to be.

this is an eye opener! thanks so much!

As always, I learned a lot from this. My heartfelt gratitude to this instructional video.

This video is gold!!!

Loved this. Thanks ;D

Thanks for this great video. Now I understand what to do! Very well explained.

So simple yet I never thought of it!!! Liked and subbed!

Thank you so much Tom. Very informative and useful. Subscribed.

cant believe i never thought of this... great lesson!

super-helpfull stuff man

Thanks so much Tom! Absolutely useful information that I'm keen to implement.

Thanks Tom! I am having this issue too.. man it's good to see that this is actually an issue.. you really opened up my mind.

Thats very interesting and sounds logical. I will try to do that while using your ultimate legato workout. Thanks for this material!

Thanx so much for this ❤️🙏

Thank you Tom

I didn't realize until I saw this video, but this was exactly what I was having trouble with. Thank you very much for raising this, and definitely looking forward to more content once again!

Great lesson, Tom - welcome back!

After I had been playing for about 30 years, I reworked my whole style:)

You addressed your use of hybrid picking and what happens to first finger muting just as I was thinking about them, very thorough. Well done!

Thx for the lesson maestro 👌

This is gold! Back to the practice room 😉 Thanks Tom.

Dude! Thank you!

thanks Tom!!

Yes! I have been aware of this problem for a while, but haven't gotten around to addressing it. You have inspired me to work on it, thank you :). Love the Henning t-shirt :)

I think this is the best legato video I have ever seen. Thank you for posting Tom.

extremely helpfull, THX!

I noticed that my legato and playing in general really became smoother and more in control when I didn't pay attention to technique but focused solely on connecting my lines as smoothly as possible. Then I recorded and looked at my hands and sure enough, the more I focused on connecting my lines the more unlazy my first finger became naturally. I actually thought that was bad technique (years of "proper" playing) but really liked the sound and feel. This video shows me that I'm on the right path. Thanks 😊

This technique combined with hybrid picking is absolutely fantastic and surely someting I´d like to master. Thanks Tom!

This very helpful in keeping the Legato clean and musical!

I enjoyed this info😁

im a big fans of your legato technique, thanks sir
