What’s it about?
Making his return to JTC after ten years, Tom Quayle delves deep into his fusion bag of tricks to give you his essentials for improvising. Across 3 solos and 30 licks, he shows you the must-know approaches for stepping up your fusion soloing.
Packed with colour, fluency and more legato than you thought was possible, this is a chance to explore the magnetism of Tom’s playing. See how he builds phrases, navigates changes and makes the most of every single note available to him.
Analyse the slow licks, dig into the detail with the detailed study guide and apply what you’ve learnt across the backings. With tab/notation in standard and fourths, this release includes everything you need to create your bag of tricks.
What will I learn?
Combine legato with hybrid picking and make use of 3-note-per-string fingerings for more flexibility and linear movement around the fretboard.
Then paint a picture with a huge splash of colour, made up of chromatics, melodic minor scales and tension-packed outside lines. You will learn how Tom makes use of these ideas and how he balances modal playing with pentatonic scales.
From the classy legato licks to the rule-bending harmonic approaches, this is a release that shows you how to finesse the changes, and step outside of boxes while applying scales in a way that packs a punch.
