Pete sat down with Tom Quayle and asked him for some simple tips on practicing. Tom shows us how to get results by focusing on a singular thing.. let's call it "targeted practicing"... follow this method and you can walk away from each practice session knowing you've definitely improved your guitar playing! He also offers some great tips on "breaking out of the box" and improvising.. how to see the fretboard in a more musical way. Enjoy!

You two are individually amazing. Together you have a really relaxed and educated co-teaching vibe. More please, Pete and Tom.

What is so great about this little discussion (for me) is that it makes me realise how I've been overcomplicating playing over changes for years and years. I mean, if you can find that root note of the change, and you know the intervals (whether major or minor) in the chords, then you can kinda nail those changes quite quickly and efficiently. It's an incredibly simple way to view the fretboard and to break out of "box" playing.

Ridiculous amount of GOLD in this video. And I agree... Tom would be great on the Tim and Pete show.

I was watching Pete's stream today and asked him what his thoughts on Tom Quayle are, and after a lot of high praise he mentioned this lesson, and I have to say, this was an excellent watch. What a couple of class acts!

Tom Quale is so smooth that even doors want to get closer to listen to him.

This video is solid frigging gold, especially when stagnation sets in with normal practice routines. The advice here is as useful for highly skilled guitarists as it is for beginners. Quayle is a beast and Pete Thorn is asking all the right questions. Perfect pairing. Honestly, it's been a while since I've caught a guitar lesson (based around the fundamentals) that isn't just some repetitive 'do-this-do-that' nonsense, or thew ubiquitous prog acolyte blasting through mindless, monotonous scales and shapes. Great stuff. Stellar, if I'm honest. Highly recommended.

I've been kind of in a rut lately but yesterday I changed my practice routine and it's already way more fun to play. I didn't really have a routine before, I just practiced songs I knew or learned a new song. But now I start with an easy song that I'm good at, then do like 10 or 15 minutes of exercises, then practice new songs or learn a new song, ending it with a newish song that I'm pretty good at playing. It's so much better. I heard so many people say to do it but for some stupid reason I never tried. If you're like me, stop wasting your time and try it.

I was searching for this video/advice for over 4 years. My theory knowledge is pretty poor although I have been playing for 10 years. I had a guitar teacher for a while and he did show me some theory but he never taught me why I need the theory for improvisation and how to approach the neck. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I will be buying some lessons from Tom and Martin Miller!

I'm 10 minutes in and I've got to stop because I should really do some work today. This video has given me so much to practice and think about and maybe the first approach to fretboard mastery that sounds realistic and achievable. Toms approach to scale shapes and moving around the fretboard seems to be what I'm doing (although a little more formalised). Find the root and repeat... I need to know the intervals though because at the moment I'm spotting the visual shape without any real understanding of the intervalic relationship. Thanks guys, will watch the rest of this later. That pentatonic run Tom does that makes you giggle, Pete! What a player... what a pair of players... now THAT would be an album Quayle and Thorn...
