There are very few guitar/music teachers whose classes must be a real treat to take... Imagine being Tomo's student. Like a dream come true. I guess you have to get admitted to Berkeley to experience that... I've been playing guitar for a decade or more but I'm still stuck at the same level.
Thanks so much for your kind words. I am so fortunate that my private lesson spots at Berklee fills so quick! In general, first semester students cannot take me lessons because already full before they arrive here! Crazy! I am so grateful that. I think I have the best job in this world! Now you can learn my lessons at Guitar Wisdom (subscription video lessons) for reasonable price.
I’ve been playing for 40 years and I understand triads and chord tones and done a lot in music, but I still like to revisit Tomo’s lessons because like in Zen you need to have beginners mind. And I come back here for that. It gives me the courage to try new things that I’m terrible at, but really everyone’s always a beginner because guitar and music is so vast a place. I feel welcome as a beginner here. It’s like a guitar dojo.
After 4 years of deep immersion into guitar it finally happened. Eyes closed the keyboard finally mapped in my head. All measurements matched. The magick of extreme slow scale playing. Methodic learning. Fluent just like my violin. Amazing. Be Well, travel essy. ❤🎸🎼🎵🎶
Praying for you Tomo. Pray that you will have peace and goodwill today and continuing this coming year. Love and appreciate the content you put out. I have learned tons from you. God bless you!!
Teach got himself a single pickup strat! That is BA. I love the idea of single pickup guitars but I'm always like why not put it in the middle. Best of both worlds.
A while back I asked for advice on not to how to sound like the same old blues in a minor based progression. You told me to avoid playing above the 13th fret, avoid playing vertically, only play on 1-2 strings, and think melodies. I’ve been working on it and it’s helped so much!!! Thank you!
Middle pickup only is funny to me. It`s the one pickup I don`t use unless it`s combined with the neck of bridge pickup. By itself it has no character in tone, to my ears. Also it`s right where I pick the strings so it`s in the way. My solution is to lower the middle pickup to about flat to the pickgard. Works great now. ;-)
I wish to go to Berkeley big brother any ideas on which direction I should start looking into . My intention is to worship Christ and for him to be blessed threw the talent he has given me
This was very good. When Eric Clapton was ready to leave The Yardbirds in 1965, because of the song For Your Love, was too commercial in his opinion, a B side was recorded, Got To Hurry. It has that same pattern. Very interesting. We do have to go further back and see what these gutarists were influenced by. Hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Cheers! ✌️🎸 🎄
Hi Tomo, its a pleasure to hear you. Thanks for your vidéo. cool. The sound Come from the right hand and many years...beautiful chords AT the end..happy christmas.. Tomo for you and family 👍🌲 France. Joyeux Noël...
But not everyone wants to become Al DiMeola. Entire musical careers have been built around approximately one and a half riffs and four or five notes. And that music has lasted a hundred years! I want to know what that power is.
The metronoom,... how grow skill without one? Not! So I'm autointact, not autodidact as pps think. Didn't really learn to master it. Wasn't a great teach for myself. Facts: No basics. TY Tomo, you play so relaxed over that clock😊
Hey Sensei, I’m just a beginner at playing the electric guitar, but I feel like I have no talent for it. I can’t even press the D chord correctly-my ring finger always ends up pressing the first string, which makes me very upset. I don’t know what to do to improve my left hand coordination
Don't worry, we all start somewhere. Keep practicing and you'll get there! We are all same at the beginning! You need foundation first! Chromatic scale!
It is very hard for me to focus on making music and practicing because I am constantly being traumatised by videos that are coming from Gaza, where children and babies are amputated by missile fire. I constantly ask myself what I should do to help join the voices that are calling for an end to the genocide. It is so hard to prioritize getting better when these children are being murdered every day. I genuinely do not know what to do. I tried to distract myself by just practicing but it is just so horrific.
Anyway, I'm sorry, I love your videos, and I know this is not your topic, but I am just desperate, now. I cannot stand the silence on the genocide, it feels like I am in a party and there's a huge monster that is murdering everyone slowly and nobody is noticing it or talking about it. It feels insane.

Guitar Wisdom is what you want! Really intimate and nice, like private lesson! Can’t recommend it enough!

That is BA.

Thank you for sharing! One pickup guitar sounds so good!

Good job! One string approach and don't think that blues box position vertically... way too easy! F blues is a great key! So happy to hear that.
Sansai there is never a dull moment with you, I get fully drawn into the whole explanation and it is just amazing.
Guitar is no end! Inspiration all the times! So happy to hear that! Thanks!
Thank you for your lessons, and I agree. Too many people try to turn music into a competition when it is the opposite. It is about collaboration
You're very welcome! No need to do that! Enjoy music! Thank you!
Thank you Tomo! Always a good lesson.
You're very welcome! Thank you!
Arigato gozaimasu, Sensei! Beautiful playing in those lines at the end!
You're very welcome! Thank you so much!

Great idea I love the middle pickup on a Stratocaster 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
Glad you like it! Thank you!
