Tom Quayle Online 👉 www.tomquayle.co.uk/
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!

    Absolutely. Technique means next to nothing if the guitarist can't make a musical statement with it. Tom Quayle is definitely musical.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
