@@andrewmodell5889what? Can you break that down a little more for me?
Takanaka and Santana were actually inspired by each other and they had a massive concert together in Tokyo in 1981!
Yes! Thank you for sharing!
Ahh, the legendary Takanaka gets reviewed by another legend. Great video !
Thank you so much!
Takanaka-San is the all time guitar player. There are the GOATs like Hendrix and Page but Takanaka pours his soul into his playing almost like i can feel him speaking.
Yes! Thank you so much!
Thanks Tomo! Takanaka san has a close connection to Brazil. In 78 he recorded Brasilian Skies in Rio de Janeiro, full of incluences of Brazilian music mixed with his guitar style. 🇧🇷🇧🇷
So happy to hear that! Thank you!
japenese surf jazz is what i like to call it lol
Finally some brazilian fans out here
Tmj irmãos 🤝
Yeah, Brasilian Skyes is a great album. One more listener from Brazil. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Takanaka will always be one of my favorite all time musicians!
Great to hear that! Thank you!
The timing on this video is crazy, I have been listening to this song in particular a ton lately. All of his music is so inspiring though, listening to takanaka makes me want to play more than any other artist
So happy to hear that! Thank you!
i 100% agree listen to masayoshi all day at work then i come home and jam till i fall asleep, even just improvising over any of his songs is endless fun, he makes jazz so happy fun and pretty all at the sametime without forgetting to jazz it up
Takanaka is my favourite guitarrist, and see my favourite teacher listening to him is just super awesome!
So happy to hear that! Thank you!
I love Takanaka's music so much. And he seems like a fun guy. Plays from the heart.
So happy to hear that!
Thanks, Tomo. I'm in Canada but have most of his early albums. It's amazing how popular he has become outside of Japan thanks to UA-cam.
So happy to hear that! Thank you so!
I love this song. I’m a bass player trying to learn guitar and his rhythm guitar lines are insane!! Thanks for sharing this
Yes! Awesome! Thank you!
2 Japanese Guitar Gods. Your guys’ playing is so similar and amazing❤️
Thank you!
Tomo-san you are gift to the world. ありがとうございます
You're very welcome! Thank you! ご丁寧にありがとうございます！
Grew up as a huge Santana fan and have only started listening to Takanaka. I am blown away by the early movement of jazz fusion in Japan. Completely blown away!
Thank you for sharing! Thank you so much!
Masayoshi Takanaka is actually the guy who just got me back into learning the guitar, and actually your channel Love to see you covering his work
Thank you for sharing! Thank you so much!
The way you playing guitar like you were expecting everyone can play guitar like you do with that funky strummer
Thank you for sharing! I don't expect anything at all!
Thank you Tomo for this lesson. I'm not to the level of being able to transpose yet but as my ear training gets better I'll get there. Your lessons are elevating my skills so far beyond my previous teachers abilities. I am so grateful for all the work you are doing to help me become a better musician and guitar player.
You're very welcome! Don't worry! You can fill those foundation here and there. We all have to do! So happy to hear that. I am adding more fun lessons at my Guitar Wisdom.
Because of takanaka I play a strat and an early 80’s Yamaha sg. The tones are some of the best ever!
Awesome! Thank you for sharing!
i feel so good when some old Japanese fusion introduced by you. Those are gem but nowadays been less people know them. Awesome tomo
Thank you for sharing! Thank you!
Takanaka's music has made me tear up with joy more times than I can remember.
I watched the 25 minutes with a smile on my face! "Figuring out what you know, and finding out what you dont know..." is such a great way to put into words something I've been doing with great effect. Thanks so much for your wisdom and knowledge 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for sharing! So happy to hear that! This type video is just like my private lesson, working on song with my student.
Wait, what? That is a funky rhythm!!! Very cool. I like the chorus effect. Nice... This is very fun. Thank you sir!!!
Glad you like it! Thank you!
An amazing and intricate artist showcase! Love Masayoshi's music, and I love to see more deep breakdowns! Cheers Tomo
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Always man!
This is one of my favorite videos of all time. Couldn't put into words how good I feel after this lesson
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing with us the soundtracks of your personal musical journey. Always inspiring. Beautiful song.
My pleasure! Thank you so much!
I usually don't comment on social media but I would just like to thank you Mr. Fujita for all of the content you create. I personally feel that this kind of videos "humanize" a great legend such as Takanaka and bring his music back to the "mortal" dimension where anyone can discover and learn these great songs!
You are very welcome! So happy to hear that! Thank you!
Music is to be explored no matter what level. Thnx Tomo!
So happy to hear that! You're very welcome!
the one and only surf-guitar player! love Takanaka and his joyful music, grazie Tomo! love your videos too
Awesome! Thank you so much!
当時、夏の気分を感じさせてくれた名曲ですね。高校生の頃、女の子と仲良くなりたくて、同級生と須磨や加太の海に遊びに行ったことを思い出しました 笑 トモ先生、ありがとうございます！
シェアありがとうございます
青春の曲ですね
such a heart warming video with great song and teacher! thank you tomosan
Thank you so much! You're very welcome!
17:18 Thank you for this beautiful takeaway. I needed to hear this today. I want to enjoy the process as much as possible.
Very important! Not to be too picky about thing. trying things are so good! Thank you so much!
Thanks for this! Love Takanaka! I had Rainbow Goblin Story concert on laser disk. Jorge Santana covered Seychelles which got me to dig deeper into Takanaka music. So glad you did this video. Please do more on Masayoshi ❤❤❤.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!
Hey Tomo,
It would be amazing if you and Masayoshi Takanaka did an interview together. I have always been curious about what made him pick up the guitar and who was his influences. Takanaka is easily one of my top 5 guitarists.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion with us all Tomo. You have helped many guitarists (including myself) improve and acquire knowledge.
I am sure that he did so many interviews. I don't him personally.... hope I can meet him someday. Thank you for sharing! Thank you so much!
So happy to hear that! You're very welcome!
this is beautiful! been having a music/guitar fatigue, but Takanaka made me slowly get back and seeing you cover him is amazing! Would love to see you go over some of his other songs like Seychelles, The Forest of My Heart or Tokyo Reggie ( so many other great songs! )
Thank you so much! Yes! I will go more!
I've been following you since Tatsu Yamashita's videos, I've been listening to CityPop since 2016 or so, so good to see this video now!!!!!! Masayoshi is A MASTER. Japanese has a certain unique taste to make music, I even heard Japanese people playing flamenco, and doing it reaaaaaaaaally good!! Can't get enough of this!!
Thank you for sharing! Great music! Thank you!
I love Mr Takanaka and his music. I have several of his albums on vinyl. His songs sound beautiful and they always evoke many emotions in me when I'm listening to them. I'd love to see him perform live but unfortunately I don't live in or near Japan. Anyway, Great video. Glad I stumbled upon this!
Awesome! Yes! Great song writer! Thank you for sharing!
Thank u Mr Tomo for the guitar wisdom n motivation! 😊
Thank you so much!
yay!! masayoshi my favourite guitarist recently super excited to learn this, please do more masayoshi or some casieopea, or a lesson on the great japenese guitarists, because i would love to listen to more of these greats! so inspiring, you can never underestimate the power of some good influence,
Thank you for sharing! This level of harmony... good for me. Easy to understand them. Just like jazz standards. Fun!
Two guitar legends on my screen🤟❤️
Thank you so much!
So happy you went through this Tomo!
Thank you so much!
Saw Takana's Rainbow Goblins concert on video in the mid 80s I think. Have been a fan ever since. I still watch it. Great guitar playing and story telling. I'm sure he inspired a lot of guitar players. Thank you for going over one of his songs.
Thank you for sharing! Amazing show video!
hey, i just found your channel when looking how could I learn more about Takanaka songs, and your channel and work is an absolute gem! got me into really learning and getting better at the guitar. thank you so much and looking forward to more stuff from you!
Thank you so much! So happy to hear that! You're very welcome!
Absolutely splendid, thank you so much Tomo-san!
Glad you enjoyed it! So happy to hear that! Thank you!
This is my Favorite Song
Great! Thank you!
Liked a lot this kind of listening videos with ear training tips !!
Thank you Tomo !! 👍👍👍👍
So happy to hear that! Thank you so much! This series is all about Ear Training & Basic Theory so we can learn by EARS.
thank you so much Mr. Fujita! I have commented in one of your videos that it would be incredible if you made a video about Masayoshi Takanaka, he is for sure one of my favorite guitar players, and made me fall in love with 80s japanese music! as a brazilian i love the fact that Mr. Takanaka uses a lot of brazilian music in his songs, such a creative way to use samba and bossa nova into his own style!
You're very welcome! Thank you so much! Thank you for sharing!
Thank You! I've been in love with this album for a while
Great to hear that! Thank you!
Thank you Mr.Fujita.
It's fun.
Old Japane music.(Japane fusion.)😀
Thanks for listening!
i love masayoshi!!
So happy to hear that!
Thanks again, Tomo, for sharing this music that is new to me. I am liking it a lot, almost too much that I want to put the guitar in its stand and dance for a while...
Glad you enjoy it! You're very welcome!
Your guitar skills are excellent! Great video covering Blue Lagoon
Thank you very much!
wild tune thanks for sharing! instantly felt like Takanaka
Glad you liked it! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video! I’ve actually been going through Tanakas entire “Traumatic Arumatic” album. So many good tracks. I love Nagisa Moderato and that solo is so good with the string bends/tapping work. He made that guitar weep. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much! So happy to hear that!
Great, Tropical Takanaka🎉 Great musician!
Thanks for listening! Amazing artist! Great song writer!
This is an awesome video thank you. Would love to see more fusion jazz content
Thank you so much!
Thank!! Mr tomo I really love this song. I love Japanese funk
You're welcome! Thank you so much!
Thanks for doing this Tomo. I really like listening to Masayoshi Takanaka's covers of Breezin and Samba Pa Ti.
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you so much!
Hi Tomo, I’m so glad you made a video on Masayoshi Takanaka. I recently picked up Jolly Jive on vinyl because the cover looked interesting, but wow… his sound blew me away! It became one of my most cherished records I own.
I was wondering if you could do a thai song next.. The name is โกหก by Tattoo colour, I think the riff and chords would be a great one to cover. Please consider it… thanks :)
Also thank you for sharing your knowledge with those who love playing guitar like myself :)
So happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing!
I really loved your explanation of diving into new music it really resonates with me being a an average skill guitarist, but I still shock myself with what I can pick up by ear, that has been my most enjoyable moments playing.. great video and I have subscribed:)
So happy to hear that! Thank you so much!
I really like your style I have really learned a lot about stitching instead of noodling but them like th dead being able to do both but your style is really nice and simple .....simple is what I like this is first year lessions but take playing to a new level thank you ..
Thank you so much! Foundation will make you better playing!
藤田さんも高中キッズ？中学1年生頃にPioneerのCMで高中に目覚めた派ですか？結構プロミュージシャンでも隠れ高中キッズ､野呂キッズの方多いですよね｡このお二人は日本の宝！
もちろんです！憧れました！いい夢を頂きました。はい！
This is the type of reaction content I need
Thank you!
Please do more Masayoshi takanaka videos I love it!!
Thank you so much!
the instrument that you mention in 18:16 is called a quijada! it's literally a donkey's jaw bone, very popular here in south america (the one used in this song is probably a vibraslap though, same thing, but made of wood and metal instead of donkey)
Thank you for sharing!
Amazing and fun as always dear Tomo!! Would be great to hear you go over some Casiopea tunes! Such great progressions for improvising. Also Issei Noro has beautiful phrasing❤
So happy to hear that! Thank you so much!
Love this record, I’ve been looking for it on cassette for some time at a reasonable price lol thanks for going through it !
Great to hear that! You're welcome!
Love the listen lessons, thank’s Tomo😎
Glad you like them! Thank you!
Never heard of them. This is a great series.
Thank you!
Thank you Tomo San!
You're very welcome!
Very good analysis of Takanaka's Blue Lagoon It's mainly in Emaj7
Thank you so much!
that's very cool
Thank you!
I have The Rainbow Goblins on LP, Takanaka is so amazing!!! His style reminds me a lot of Larry Carlton for some reason!
Awesome! Yes! Thank you for sharing!
My fist guitar hero Masayoshi Takanka!
Awesome!
TAKANAKA!!!!😍😍🤩🤩
Yes!
Awesome video Tomo! I'd love to see some watanabe kazumi songs next!!
Thank you! His music is a little complicated! Great player!
Great video, love Takanaka! 1:08 sounds like a vibraslap to me.
Thank you so much! Yes! Love to get that instrument!
Lovely video , Tomo !
Can you do other like Toshiki Kadomatsu , Tatsuro Yamashita , Katsumi horii etc..
There's so many mystery in their funky riff , I'd love to watch you play it and analyze it
Thank you so much!
Would love to hear your thoughts on You Can Never Come to This Place, one the greatest guitar solos i think i've heard.
Thank you for sharing!
I love his album All Of Me. I stumbled across it by chance once day and have no idea what style of music it is, all I know is that I enjoy it. Do you have suggestions of similar artists in the same genre? Thank you!
Thank you for sharing! Kenji Ohmura
@@TomoFujitaMusic Thanks friend!
Wow when you break it down like that I found out how much the chords sound like indie songs nowadays, but the song really doesn’t sound like it!
Crazy about chords... You can use exact same chords but you can change feel a lot different with different tempo and different choices in order. Fun!
I just noticed that we have the same chair setup lmao. That secret lab without arm rest 😂
Awesome!
Hey Tomo! Could you please cover Bu-Nightmare by Takanaka?? It’s be great because I have not seen any other videos on UA-cam covering it. Thanks Tomo!!!
Thank you for sharing! I have a long list now!
@@TomoFujitaMusic hey man take your time! Know that I’ll be on lookout!👀
Great choice!! Thanks for the video! Can we do some Casiopea next?
Thank you! Maybe possible!
More Takanaka!
Thank you!
Great ..transcribe..example..!
Thank you!
Loved this! How would one approach soloing in Takanaka style?
Thank you so much! Chord tone playing!
Love this series Tomo! Do you have more free time in the summer now that Berklee off for summer break?
So happy to hear that! I only teach Fall & Spring semesters. I am working music!
Awsome video tomo!
I try not to watch to many tutorials on guitar, cus i wanna try and figure it out myself, feels more authenthic that way, tho every time i watch ur video's i always learn something!
Did u listen to Prism (Akira Wada) back in the day?
Thank you! I don't watch any UA-cam videos either. Best way is to listen by ears! Not see by eyes! That will shut our ears!
Yes! Akira Wada
Awesome piece of music, thanks for sharing Tomo. Would you be able to cover “Paranoid Android” by Radiohead or “And Your Bird Can Sing” by The Beatles. Very interesting guitar parts in both songs that I think can be worth covering in the future. Thanks, cheers 🍻
You're very welcome! I write them down now! More people request same song then more possible! Thanks for sharing! Basically like this chord level... I can listen a few times and I can explain it!
I always wondered if you knew him, of course!!!! Who doesnt?!?
Next time you do a pigeons sit in, convince them to play Ready to Fly!!!
Thank you!! What a great song!
Tomo San, please do another video like this for Sea Line by Toshiki Kadomatsu. Thank you in advance.
Thank you for sharing! You're very welcome! I wrote down!
Can you take a look at Kazumi Watanabe? He is my favorite guitarist but there is not much attention on him outside of japan.
Yes! Possible! Which song? Thank you for sharing!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Which song? My first time listening to Watanabe I heard Unicorn off his To Chi Ka album and I think that is his most well known song but I would love it if you could listen to Sonic Boom off his Kylyn album, it's my personal favorite! Also thank you for replying!
@@Hydratz What a great album! Yes, that album too! Thanks for sharing.
please can someone explain the III7 chord as it relates in that progression... please and thank you x
You need to learn simple music theory & a few great examples of III chord! All Of Me, Georgia On My Mind... and more!
1:08 I believe you're hearing a vibra-slap Tomo!!
Thank you so much!
Great video! You should make a PRISM/Akira Wada video sometime!
Thank you for sharing!
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you!
And be kind to everyone
Thank goodness for sharing! I have many simple videos!
Would you do a Mikio Fujioka?
Any artists, any songs... more popular by everyone! Yes!
Would it be possible to do サカナクション / 忘れられないの please?
When a few people asked same song... that would be possible!
Thanks for sharing!
Sounds like an 80s TV Theme
Thank you for sharing!
I gotta have that chorus effect on the lead guitar, has almost an wah type of sound. Does anybody know what chorus pedal Takanaka uses?
Yes! Fun! Thank you for sharing!
