    達郎さんのストロークは、物凄く激しくて真似をするとピックが飛んでしまいます。笑
    67年の335を弾いて以来、どの335の音にも満足出来ず、今の77年製グレコの335モデルに出逢う迄ずっとストラトでした。
    スパークルは青山純さんのドラムが堪らなく、メランコリックな曲調と印象的なベースが素敵ですねー
    トモさんの動画で改めてこの曲が輝いて聴こえる様になりました。
    肩の力を抜いてギターを楽しめる様になったのは、本当につい最近なのかも知れません。

    This was so very informative. I think that you do an amazing job of describing the vibe of this song and explaining the progression of the chords. As someone who does not really understand when Mr. Fujita uses advanced musical terminology such as an "E/G#" chord, I have trouble replicating the exact sound. I would absolutely love to see more tutorials on Tatsuro Yamashita's music, especially "Love Talkin (It's You)" as I love that song very much. Thank you for sharing your musical intelligence with us, Mr. Fujita!

    I was listening to this while working. But man, on the last part of the video where you improvised over that backing track is so good! While working I was just reacting WOAH! that is good stuff! Great playing as usual Tomo. I'm looking forward to getting into playing guitar again. Maybe I will get a strat once this pandemic ends.

There was a guy playing a guitar looked like your 335, but he was playing blues rock with a slide. Wonder if you have ever played there? I was so focused on the guitar and music, could not tell you what the guy looked like! Thanks for posting. Love your playing.

It’s not a Gibson though but a Japanese Epiphone Elitist built by Terada. Japanese are beyond amazing in everything they do and you have been one of the perfect examples. Thanks again Sensei
