      Pretty big JM fan, and I figured there were a lot of influences in his playing. SRV, Hendrix, Clapton, Freddie/BB king etc. being the more obvious ones.
      But here I found another major influence. I hear a lot of similarities which I assume he borrowed from you.
      Tomo you're now on my list of people to check out for inspiration. Thanks for this demo!

      That's what good musicians do.
      they absorb every notes they heard and try to see how they can make that piece of riff into theirs mind.
      a good musician is always improving and experimenting different styles.
      no matter what genre, a good riff is a good riff.
      if it fits, it fits.

  • @BryanSim
    @BryanSim 4 роки тому +58

    I think these are the chords:
    Amaj7(5x6654), Amaj7(5x665x; he plays fingering without the thumb at the start), G#7#5 (4x455x), G#min11(446474), B9sus4(7x765x), C#m7 or Emaj7 (x76444; he plays the C#m7 but you can substitute for the Emaj7 which is first inversion of that C#m7 chord and sounds cool).

    • @thiagoborsari7364
      @thiagoborsari7364 4 роки тому

      Yes, it is in he key of Emaj.

    • @JuicyLeek
      @JuicyLeek 4 роки тому

      The second chord is a G#m7 (but he does 464474 instead of the plain 4x4444). If you watch his "Sunny" video, you will see that this is the m7 chord shape that carries the whole song.
      The following chord (at precisely 1:11) is an A/B (A major with B bass note), which is 7x765x as you mentioned. I guess you could call it B9sus4 as you did, but if you create this shape by play a vanilla A major barre chord and then moving the bass note up to B, I think you'll agree that it sounds like an A major played on the guitar with a B on the bass instrument. Also, Tomo calls it an A/B in his Solo Etudes book. He uses this in Room 418 and his recent "beautiful chords" video.
      I only know this because these are common Tomo chords that he often uses in several of his other videos, and I have his Solo Etudes book.
