Oh my God, you play wonderfully, but when you funk... you're absolutely fantastic!!! I would like to play that way for at least just one minute in my life!!!
So glad you uploaded this, I'm going back to school soon and I've been tasked with a short performance with an instrument of my choice by my music teacher
Hi tomo, your videos mean so much to me as I’m currently preparing for my Berklee audition for which I was planning to perform your song just funky. Thank you so much!!!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Thanks again tomo! This might sound crazy but I would really like to know what you think about the possibility of merging or combining funk with salsa music which is very popular here in Colombia. Do you think that is possible?
I missed this somehow. this entire video. I have been getting my new music and art space hooked up. so glad that I see this now. And, you are a proper size now.....lol
Amazing chops Tomo . It’s rare to find players who exhibit equal control over left and right hands and i am sure your work is inspiring many more than just I ! Rock on (or is it Funk on? )
Well, you did it again. I'm equally inspired and ready to give up at the same time! It will take a while to digest this one, but PLENTY to learn here. There is no better right hand in the business. Thank you so much! Arigatō!
When I started playing guitar, I was horrible! It's all about foundation! I still practice R37 Swing with a metronome everyday! Thank you so much! You're very welcome!
@@TomoFujitaMusic My foundation (or lack thereof) was a LONG time ago. I’m 70 now and still love playing and learning. Aside from your obvious skills; it’s your patience and constant encouragement that make you the best teacher!
@@rwest8905 Thanks for sharing. I have 24 simple easy music theory lessons at my Guitar Wisdom. Many older guitar students there! Please join and enjoy more!
Yes I can do that! but no where near as good as you can! love the funk and feeling and right had movement unreal Bro. love to watch you play and the way you teach us all!
Really good video and I just love your sound. I am highly considering to buy Guitar Wisdom in order to better my technique and most importantly, gain more knoweldge on theory and music in general. Thank you very much!
It must be hard to watch someone else play your song and get the notes wrong - I guess it's the price of success. Great song and thank you for another great lesson!
Thank you so much for this amazing song, Tomo. It’s really one of a kind, and one of my favorites ever :) By the way Tomo, I haven’t heard you talk about Eric Clapton yet, although there’s a picture of him on your wall, what do you think of him?

Got it!! Thanks so much Tomo!!@@TomoFujitaMusic
TOMOSAN !!!!!!!!! GENIUS 😊👍💪
Thank you!
The guitar on your wall in the middle is beautiful. Is it a telecaster..
Thank you so much!
It must be hard to watch someone else play your song and get the notes wrong - I guess it's the price of success. Great song and thank you for another great lesson!
It tickles me a little! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this amazing song, Tomo. It’s really one of a kind, and one of my favorites ever :)
By the way Tomo, I haven’t heard you talk about Eric Clapton yet, although there’s a picture of him on your wall, what do you think of him? And have you tried the Clapton Artist Series Fender guitar with the 25db MidBoost?
I’m sorry for my many questions, I have long been wondering :)
You're very welcome! Thank you so much! I love Clapton so much!
What is the name of the pickups again?
Grinning Dog Funkmaster Pickups
Even Nile Rodgers would have to sit down and practice this one :-)
So honored!
Hello Mr. Tomo,
i hv watching your videos lately and
i almost desperate to learn major scale in all of my fretboard, i hv learn 3nps major scale and try to connect it but its hard,
My goal is, i want to know where is the notes do re mi fa sol etc.. In every situation when iam playing improv, and trying to playing from my head without hesitate and not worry about picking a wrong note 😢
Is there any tips how to practice this thing 😢
Thank you for your attention 🙏
Good job! Thank you so much! Please join my Guitar Wisdom
IS THAT JIMI HENDRIX PIC ON HEADSTOCK? OR TOMO SIGNATURE SERIES ?
This guitar is a Fender SRV signature Stratocaster
My wife's photo!
@@TomoFujitaMusic I HAVE AN EARLY MODEL SRV , I TOOK IT TO BERKLEE TO VISIT MY UNCLE MERIK FOR COUPLE WEEKS. HE WAS GREAT BASS PLAYER
Maybe someone asked this before but who is on that small picture on the headstock? was it there already when you bought it or did you do it yourself?
That's my wife! Thank you!
How are you enjoying the new Roland?
Yes! Very much! Great clean tone! Warm too.
こんばんは。そのイントロ、まだ綺麗に弾けません…。コードチェンジ頻繁なとこ、ついてけない…気長に頑張るつもりではいます。改めての解説ありがとうございました。
ありがとうございます！ゆっくり、焦らずにどうぞ！
My only chance to play this in half speed of yours Tomo, is reincarnation 😂
That's good! Good job! I practice everything super slow!
When masters give you excuses, it makes you practice even more.
Thank you so much!
I wish I had friends that could loan Dumble to me.. :D
That would be so nice!
@@TomoFujitaMusic ..and maybe a pre-CBS strat.. ;)
Tomo Fujita: Is composing by sound the same as playing by ear?
Thank you!
Do you know the guitarist called Rodney Jones who used to play with Dizzy Gillespie in the ‘70s? Some of your funky guitar work reminds me of his playing. 👍🏽
Yes! Saw him live in late 80's. Very very nice guy!
