Your guitar wisdom is the best thing youtube has brought me in my life - I am so glad to subscribe because i can show my appreciation for your teaching and get all that knowledge i dreamed of about this instrument - and not go broke in the process! 1x takeout cost me more.
Thank you so much for this video - this is the perfect high level overview of what to study and what to focus on!
Mark my words tomo sensei i will send you that recording of just funky one day! (but i will watch more videos until then :D) It is gonna be my final test!
Edit: Truly, thank you from the bottom of my heart - learning the guitar from you more deeply allowed me to connect and bond with my father more deeply, because i can talk to him about guitar now and show him what i am learning and motivate him to play more again!
I hope you know you are changing peoples lives for the better with all your positivity and attitude towards us non-professional enthusiasts!
Thank you so much! So happy to hear that. Making videos for my Guitar Wisdom is my pure joy! You're very welcome!
People!
Stop being a Guitar player and start being a musician! This teacher is brilliant and outstanding! Pay very close attention! Study Music not a bunch of nonsense! Thank you 🙏 TOMO ! 🎸
Thank you so much! Basically too much easy information that makes people goes to wrong directions!
the 9 tips he talks about
2:45 learn maj and min chord REALLY well. 6th string root, 5th string root (maj7, min7, dom 7), & 6th string root (maj7, min7, dom 7), muting exercise, play funk, 9th chords, rhythm, know intervals that make up chords,
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Tomo
You're welcome!
Yes! Thank you so much 🙏
I really appreciate you, finally subbed (don’t know what took me so long….)
Great video and sweet Strat!! The bright neck is awesome... you can send it to lol!!
Thank you so much!
You are such a great teacher. I have never been good at teaching guitar. I've tried a couple times but I struggle to put my talent into words.
Everone has heard of "the circle of 5ths". But many don't realize that if it is played backwards, it becomes "the circle of 4ths".
Thank you so much! Teaching is so difficult to do! First you want to feel that you want to help others. Would you like make people happy? Terminologies... CADGE = Triads/INTERVALS
The Circle of 5ths = Study those with music! Then you know! A lot of people are way to smart! I love chord progressions!
Oh good here is the Cub sound video. NICE.
I love this amp so much! Thank you!
TOMO! I hope to hear you in my town NYC this August! ❤ Thank you for making effort to come all the way from Asia to perform for us. I can’t make any promises because I may have a performance date myself in the same town! 😂❤🎸🎸🎸👍
Yes! I will be at The Bitter End, on 8-10 Thursday 9:30pm show! Very special show with Oz Noy, Will Lee & Shawn Pelton. Get your ticket fast!
Tomo teaches me that music is better than language to express emotion!!!How beauty the clean tone it is!❤
Thank you so much!
the add 9 or slash or mu chords are very tasty in the right context
Thank you so much!
If the offer still stands in 20 years, I would love to come for dinner!
Don’t expect too fast!
Maybe one year! Thank you!
Very sweet sounding amplifier....love it
Yes! Thank you!
Thank you Mr. Tomo BTW, I'm joining Berklee's summer camp!!!
You're very welcome! Awesome!
Lots of great information here Mr Fujita! for me theory helped me get to the next level by really learning and understanding intervals and being able to visualise and find them on the guitar. It can be really boring to learn and it can be frustrating for some time but once you learn where they are in a chord and scale and you can hear them in your mind you begin to have total musical freedom. Secondly learning how Rhythm works in different music styles and being able to keep that in mind. For example in blues being able to understand a shuffle beat and have that groove memorised, 12/8 groove learned and understood in your mind too then being able to play them in time then the rest becomes much easier!
So happy to hear that! This was exactly actual lesson material so ... not all easy to digest but hope this video inspired you. Good stuff is super boring... you just have to do it so you can done! I highly recommend no memorization! Be familiar with the sound slowly! So it will stick to you naturally. Thank you!
Listen a lot of Blues, R&B, Jazz...
Do you recomend CAGED? I love Guthrie Trapps sound and teaching as well. He really likes caged. I've started learning the shapes.
No about just showing shapes! Way too easy and.... learn triads with intervals. I love Guthrie 's playing! He understood "CADED" very musically. That's different than just "recommend" I would not recommend without any explanation behind that concept.
Sounds beautiful!
Thank you so much!
I also have this malmsteen strat. It's awesome 😎
Awesome! Thank you!
Tomo is a national treasure!
Thank you!
Thank you Tomo Excellent class
You're very welcome! Thank you!
Great lesson! For some reason I've already knew alnost everything you told about. Chords, intervals, position, rythms and notes on fretboard even. So is that means I'm not ok guitarist? Thank you for great video
Thank you for sharing! Thank you!
Thank you, Tomo!!
You're welcome! Thank you!
Thanks for the tips, I will make sure to practice these!
You're very welcome!
It makes me so happy when you play that strat :) Sounds so good, perfect intonation. Thanks for the video, be well
So happy to hear that! Thank you so much!
Wow. That's a lot of info to absorb in 20 minutes.
Thanks.
Yes! We have been doing skype lessons and I went over these items in 50 minutes with Arif. Thank you!
The Best Stratocaster on your hands
I Saw You with the Juanes strat but Yngwie model is another world.
Thank you so much!
I’m not even at the level of ‘just ok’. I’m too hard on myself self even at practice. I want to make it through a song without any screwups like being able cleanly putting each finger on the desired string of a certain chord but I get so nervous 😬 I muff it up sometimes
Be kind to yourself! Everything will take some time! Nothing will grow over night. But you must learn how to learn effectively! Maybe you need basic techniques before playing songs!
Easy solution: find things that you can have fun playing, even if it means playing much simpler songs. If you are constantly struggling with your instrument it defeats the whole purpose- which is playing, having fun.
Always thankful for your upload. I always played guitar with tablature since I was a high school teen, but one of your earlier videos about learning by ear inspired me to actually learn how to play guitar. Will circle back to your other videos once I have a good enough foundation. Thanks, Mr. Tomo Fujita.
You’re welcome! For a while I also used tabs then I found some mistakes (right notes on wrong positions) then I started training my ears. Good musician can learn by ear with understanding theory behind. Learn basic harmony, scales, triads, 7th chords without diagrams. This way your musical freedom is waiting you next year!
Best effective way is to join my Guitar Wisdom and learn Music theory section and foundation/triads etc.
I would love to come to dinner but sadly I cannot play every note perfectly. I'll work on it LOL. thanks Tomo:)
Don't worry! Do as much as you can! We don't play guitar for dinner! For your own passion!
The neck pickup in that strat soujds fantastic. Scalloped fretboard? I like something other than rosewood. Great lesson, thanks.
Thank you! Yes! You're very welcome!
Always great to improve in any aspect. Getting better is always constant! Cheers
Thank you so much!
@@TomoFujitaMusic My pleasure Tomo!
13:26 😂
Great lesson, as usual!
Glad you liked it!
ありがとう、先生!
ありがとうございます！
“Rhythm comes from the body, not the guitar.” Yes, yes, yes! This is why I think one important step funk musicians miss is to, a some point, put down your instrument and go dancing. Having a pure body experience with music will enhance everything you’re practicing in some very practical ways.
Thank you! Time feel! Listen music & dance to the music!
"Music is cooking, really. " -TomoFujita 7:37
Thank you so much!
The most important takeaway for becoming a better guitarist is to indulge in endless fret board noodling with meaningless phrasing, and don't forget to incorporate a "wide leg stance" with one foot perched on the stage monitor.
Great! Thank you!
Thanks, gonna go and start noodling now
Hey Tomo,,, I'm just nuts (crazy) about that lick @0:50... ooo that is so sweet
That's all triad & fills around those triads!
A E F#m D (156m4)
Thank you so much!
"Take a hot bath and bend your finger"😂👏
Yes! I did!
smooth as butter my guy!
Thank you!
Best guitar teacher ever. I really love the phrase about, Music is like cooking, I really believe it is...there is jz so much more to say about that.
Thank you so much!
Hello Mr.Fujita!!! hope you are well
I have a question
when i play open voicings of chords like Am7 with B and E open
When I play fast and switch to other chords its sounds messy
how do i fix it thanks :)
Play them super slowly. Play something a little simple one first.
@@TomoFujitaMusic ok thank you so much!!
Tomo. Nice great love it🎉😅 bring that funk 😅😅😅
Thank you!
I just love you man
Thank you!
on the rhythm part I think a person should be able to feel the off beats just as strong as on the beat internally if its 8ths 1+2+3+4+ its a feeling thing
Thank you for sharing!
Tomo I'm curious, what do you feel like you need to improve as a guitarist? I think everyone strives to be better. But yours is on another level, would love to hear your response! Thank you
Great question! I want to become a better person all the way through my Guitar playing. Guitar is something that I focus on so that I won’t waste my time! Plus guitar playing is not like sports. You can shine more and more! Not about speed or quantity! More about the details and quality depth. So much fun! I am a forever student! I don’t master anything yet!
Beautiful
@@TomoFujitaMusic Well Said!
Been learning, Tomo ✌️
Thank you!
Dear sir,I’m a fans of you from china, you are so patient that I subscribe you all the way to youtube.(you know how hard a chinese fan use UA-cam)I’m wondering how can I improve my skills as a primary guitar player…practice first or theory first….? I’m not a professional music student,but wanted to improve
Thank you so much! Very happy to hear that. There is no one correct answer but there are a few choices. Good techniques, music theory with ear training & styles. No need to be a professional or a professional student. A person who is enjoying music & guitar playing! Guitar is so much fun!!
@@TomoFujitaMusic thanks a lot! I’ll try my best in playing guitars! Wish your channel better!
Thank you Mr.Fujita.
Sometime,we need to review important points.
ps)Just funky is good song！.👍
Thank you so much!
Mr Tomo, I have recently started watching your videos I watched one the other day on the way to work about what level is a player on, beginner intermediate or advanced, I got a question if somebody knows all these 9 things what level would you consider a person to be on ?
Thank you so much! Some parts are for beginner then some parts for intermediate and .... You can imagine!
このギターに慣れちゃうと他のギター弾く時に違和感半端なさそうですよね🐥
ソフトに弾くためにボクの生徒さんが買いました。そろそろ返さないと
Excellent content as always thank you Tomo
You're very welcome! Thank you!
How does one get private lessons with you? Thank you for a great video @TomoFujitaMusic
You're very welcome! I only teach a very few... You should join my Guitar Wisdom so you will know my teaching style & foundation first. Then you can contact me tfujita@berklee.edu
Wonderful lesson!
Thank you!
スキャロップトは指の皮がすぐ剥けて大変です 余計な力が入っていたのかな 数十年前
それは力が入ってたと思います
ありがとうございます
I just need to learn what all these numbers mean and how to apply them. Ive heard that playing the key of c can be applied across the fretboard, but its confusing. I always forget how CAGED works
Yes! You can learn that number system. Please join my Guitar Wisdom.
Man I need you as teacher
Thank you so much! You can join my Guitar Wisdom! Free trial lessons now!
We all need him as our teacher.
The real guitar wisdom: "Take a hot bath and bend your finger." Perfect! : )
Yes! That was I did!
Not video related but do you recommend any jpop songs to learn as beginner?
Please listen Tatsuro Yamashita. Thank you!
Useful lesson
Thank you!
Challenge accepted....I wanna see how close I can get to your version. 8 figure I'll learn a lot learning you.......❤❤❤❤see you eventually...😂😅😅😅😅
Yes! Thank you!
How much is a private lesson?
You can message me via Instagram DM.
Everyone seems to be liking those Bad Cat amps at the moment.
Really! I just so happy to discover this amp!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Oh yes, I keep seeing them show up in peoples videos and Rigs, I think I saw one beside Tim Pierce in a vid the other day. What do you like about yours?
@@johndogwater I juist made a demo video of my Badcat Cub. One 12 combo and it sound so huge! I love more gain. Love having two master volume so I can sent one louder or softer. I sent softer for rhythm playing.
@@TomoFujitaMusic Ooh, I shall watch your demo, sounds like a very useful amp, I must try one. Glad you have found a fun new toy Professor Fujita.
@@johndogwater This week, I will post unboxing video on Monday, a demo video on Thursday! Thank you!
What does the code, (248-23) on this video, at the bottom of the description mean?
That's my own code. 248th video on 2023. Thank you!
This way, I can plan videos a week before (scheduled post) with these number system on my calendar!
@@TomoFujitaMusic thanks!
Yngwie!
Yes!
I don't know theory at all, but being around music for 30 years helps.
You can learn and not too hard at all!
Don't steal Al Di Meola's dinner party thunder
No no.. that’s way too much for us to do!
14:00
Thank you! Just Funky, E7 Groove, Left hand muting technique!
@@TomoFujitaMusic I need to watch the video again to fully understand the concept😁.That's why I mark the time. BTW you are a genius SENSEI❤
Jazzy version of Super Mario.
Thank you!
It's Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si Do
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do in USA!
I may have been noodling and not paying attention while watching this video..
Good job!
Tomo are... are you a fender guy?
I am more Gibson guy lately!
Oh my.....what a challenge........hmmmm.
Have a fun!
Let me guess, you taught John Mayer how to play guitar? Shaadappp
Yes! I did and he did it so well!
1st
Yes!
You can't stop shredding because you never could shred in the first place. Have some humility.
Shedding? Why do you refuse to assimilate and learn the englanders language?
Which thumbnail do you like? I just changed it!
Bruh... don't give Tomo hate. He's the most positive person on youtube
This guy lol. At least Tomo is a master at playing music that makes sense. Learning shredding is like learning how to build a PC while Tomo teaches all the science about it and how it works together.
@@machidamanif you can't deal with it why do you even bother watching his vids? Just go elsewhere.
palm muting is my achilles heal!
Thank you for sharing!
