Not too long ago, we had the absolute genius guitarist Tom Quayle visit our Birmingham store for an in-store clinic along with his amazing signature Ibanez guitar. We learnt tons of amazing tips from Tom, and we made sure to document some of them!
In this excerpt, Tom explains how to nail your legato in a way that isn't overwhelming or fatiguing. Thanks Tom!

It's not only about having the technique, but knowing what to play as well.

Absolutely. Technique means next to nothing if the guitarist can't make a musical statement with it. Tom Quayle is definitely musical.
I would really like to see new albums, new real songs, new live shows with a band. Not always demos, tuts, or the same few shred-covers. I think Quayle could and should do a lot more.

There is no money to be made in new albums, original music, or performance. KZread and social media, along with party DJs, killed all that. If there was big money to be made in performance, then all the great guitar players would be doing that. The money for guitar players in today's world is made in teaching students, KZread ad share, and in creating courses. Of course, if you want to set yourself apart from just being a great guitar player, learn to sing! People love to hear singing, good or bad. There is just something about singing. Perhaps because the human voice is the first instrument, and that's all we hear on the radio.
Love Tom's ability on the guitar and his amazing execution to explain his approach 😃

Yes, Tom is a superb player and teacher. I found a great video with an outstanding legato concept. Maybe you are interested in this Video, too: kzread.info/dash/bejne/c5Nk3LKdfZngYdI.html
Hes got more skill in that middle right finger than i do both my hands. always amazing to watch and listen to Tom explain
I think it would be great to see him talk how to setup your guitar, like string action , preferable string gauge for this technique and does it require any compression or should it be done without using compression ?
Just an unbelievably talented guitarist and also great teacher.
A truly masterful explanation of legato. Bravo Tom Quayle!

Impressive technique. Btw, in italian legato means “tied”
He's playing most notes with the middle finger combined with the pic...it's the best way to play like this ...love it
I would guess what made Allan Holdsworth so unique was how musical he was with the technique.

Yeah, Holdsworth could make you cry with just one or two notes. Tom Quayle is incredible, but listening to him here really makes it apparent just how much of a musical genius Allan really was, at least in my opinion. This is NOT to take _anything_ away from Tom. I hope this is understood.
Tom explains so well!
He's to good!!! Great teacher and player.
Excellent lesson. I've just started going deeper into theory and legato. This is very helpful.
Talk about guitar masterclass hidden in obscure ( sort of ) places. Came for the azes review, stayed for the tom quayle lesson. Really great channel you guys got here.

Depends, but Frank Gambale uses the pick in a ingenious way that sounds so smooth as well.

It's even more mesmerizing in person 🤯
So ascending he only plectrum picks the root note on E string, then middle finger picks everything else? (ie. first note of each 3 note/string pattern). Either way, he is the very smoothest legato player I've seen.

Hi, I think that the best translation of ‘legato’ in Italian is ‘tied’.
@Quinceps
Жыл бұрын
Yes, also "bound". in other Romance languages like Spanish we have 'ligado' and so on. "Ligar" (It. legare) means "to tie, to bind". Of course we stick to Italian for the music term, but it's fairly easy for Romance language speakers to get the meanings of these roots.
I don't know if i don't have enough hand strength, or what the problems is; I never get that much sound from the guitar when I try to play this way. Seems like I lose a lot of volume, and the notes justfade off quickly. Anyone know why?

You can get similar result with a compressor, then overdrive and a second compressor (or limiter). Let me know if you need more precise tips.

@@DatHombre sometimes he wents for example high e -> b -> g -> b -> g -> d (strings).
Barely using the pic except for the first note, then the sequence is; (hammer-on)pull-off, (hammer on)pull-off & right third finger pull the next note. For motion economy he makes sure to immediately place the RH 3rd finger on the string it will be pulling next. I still think mastering picking each note is a necessary skill hut this hybrid sequencing of “pic, pull, pull & RH 3rd finger pull” has its place.
Chops!
If we say that Holdsworth is the Socrates of guitar, then Tom Quayle is the Aristotle of guitar. Always love his playing and teaching. ❤
If you play harpsichord, since there is no dynamic, you do accents playing with time. Then, definitively, Holdsworth is the master of legato.
Just when you think you are getting somewhere you find this...
Best guitar ever!

Makes everything look so easy as well 😀
IIRC the 'connected' aspect of the legato is the significant part. If you're playing another instrument there shouldn't be any overlapping of notes, but neither gaps between notes. Also very little transient attack. Obviously some of these will happen as part of the expression but should be minimised to considered expression.
...like watching magic.
9:47 probably is saying endo-metronome
Musically tasteful...succulence
What I see is he uses the pick mostly when switching to a new string
suddenly all the osu I used to play is useful. My left hand is more rhythmically synced than my right cause of that damn game.
Can't touch this!!!!!!!

"Legato" is Italian for 'tied.' The implication is that each note is tied into the next.
Alot of hybrid picking going on.
legato means “tied together”

Why.
Legato is Italian for "tied", since the notes are played with a single picking of the string. On the other hand, Staccato means "Detached"
So in short, don't accent each note when changing strings. keep it smooth.

It is from Satriani's Flying on blue dream song. When solo starts. Amazing piece!
Yet another reason to ditch the pick and go full fingerstyle ooga booga.
Honestly, though, how much of that type of "music"/sound at the beginning could you really listen to?

Indeed it has jumbo frets. Bigger than Suhr's jumbo/57110 and that may cause it to appear enormous. I had a set of 57110 fretwire installed on one of my guitar and it was smaller than its original nickel frets.
