Your Guitar Wisdom is not just the most useful but the most comprehensive guitar lesson site as well 🤘
Thank you so much!
Growing up I never really cared for blues that much. The more I listen to it the more I realize that so much of rock and roll was written from it. The more I study guitar the more I see so much blues in our music. The song your playing is cool, reminds me of a train coming down the tracks in the south!
Thank you for sharing! Blues music is so deep! I love blues!
Thanks very much my teacher. great opening for 2023. Blessings
You are very welcome! Happy New Year!
I really enjoy your laid back and unpretentious style of teaching. Thank you so much for your videos. I will continue following and watching.
So happy to hear that. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much Tomo. You do a fine job help this older rookie get motivated..
You're very welcome! My pleasure! So happy to hear that! Thank you!
That would be my most played guitar in my house. I loved this video , thank you for sharing.😊
Yes! Thank you so much! You're very welcome! My pleasure!
Never fail to impress my friend both sound great but so humble an have a way of getting your point across 😊😊😊
So great to hear that. Thank you so much!
I had a lot of fun with this lesson. I was able to do some structured noodling by adding some of my own flavor.
So happy to hear that. Good job!
Happy new year Tomo. You are a great teacher . Greetings from Brazil

Thanks Tomo for the very cool and entirely doable (for me) lesson. Looking forward to more fingerstyle tutes.
My pleasure! So happy to hear that!
This is great. Thanks for starting 2023 with a bang by giving us this wonderful acoustic fingerpicking blues lesson. Happy New Year to you!🤠
Thanks so much! So happy to hear that! Happy New Year!
That's a great lesson and as I'm currently working on The "Stones" blues song "Parachute Woman" a lot of the licks are right there. I learned the gb to g#b bend a long time ago as the train sound.
Thank you! Good job!
Oh Mr. fujita I love this new idea of acoustic blues with Tomo. Let’s title it Acoustic Blues with Tomo and his Cats. 👍🤓❤️
So happy to hear that. This type of playing is so much fun!
I save everything you send my way.... I appreciate it Sir..😎 I am sorry but I got hung up on those frets on your Gibson.... they look flawless from my view.... I will go back and do this ....😎 I have a old injury on my pointer finger it was severed but saved because my brother packed in snow and brought it to the Hospital....boy I went there but anyway it works better as years have went by ,,, That's why I try more finger picking....😎 never quit right... I know I ramble so.. Lols
Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much Tomo, for your lesson. You have enlightened me, I'm so grateful for you! I've been working on this for a long time. Finally I think the light has come on . I look forward to following you & your tutorials. Again, Thank you & Take Care!
You're very welcome! Thank you so much!
I like how your lessons always have interesting sounding song not something I'll get bored practicing lol thanks for the lesson
So happy to hear that. Thanks so much!
Tomo, Happy New Year. Beautiful lesson. Thank you.
Thanks so much! Happy new year!
Tomo sensei, so nice! I practiced triads with interval naming convention because of you. Could you explain your videos using intervals and triads instead fret numbers.
Please sensei 🙇♂
Thank you! Good job! Name of notes, Interval name, Do Re Mi... All important. Please watch these lessons (Super Simple)

Tomo, every time I see you you bring a smile to my face. Not just for your guitar skills but for your personality and disposition. Thanks, I needed it today.
So happy to hear that. Thanks so much!
Hello friend, I think that Tomo's account has been hacked!! They have asked me for money for the prize, what do you think?
Scam! Please report it! I never contact anyone! Thank you!
@@efrainsumano2474 yes, the same thing here
Hey tomo, and ideas for if you were to do a video on Blues Guitar for playing as a duo, but also to this as an introduction to blues duo for beginners?
Thanks for sharing! Duet guitar is so much fun!
That guitar sounds so beautiful. What gauge of string are you using? Looks like phosphor bronze
Thank you so much! 12-52
Hi Tomo. Thank you for the lesson. Do you have tabs for it? When you got close to the camera I couldn't see your right hand for some of the strings you were picking at one part. Thanks, Brian
You're welcome! I will make better video next time! Mostly Root note and two notes (1&2 strings)
How do you like American pizza?
Oh, do you miss mayo on your pizza's .
Yes! More Italian style...
@@TomoFujitaMusic The first here when we to buy take out pizza, they put mayo, potatoes on it. I guess that is life here in Japan. Strange I thought, potato, ok, mayo, yuck !
@@camperstar6stringer Very unique pizza in Japan. When my wife & kids are with me in Japan (at my patents house... try to order a plain pizza... was very hard!!
Brilliant lesson thanks Tomo!
Glad you liked it! Thank you!
Love the finger picking....Mahalo!
Thank you!
Finger picking is so much fun when you get it down. Challenging, but it's so versatile.
Yes! This one is so much fun! Thank you!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Absolutely!
thanks, I love acoustic blues. new subscriber here.
Thank you so much!
Oh yes I meant to say I love your Gibson wat a beautiful guitar I wish u all the luck I’m the world with it !!! Brian 🇮🇪
Thank you so much! I love this Gibson LG-1.
Gibson is #1 IMO
Got a '67 Country Western last year and haven't been able to put it down since. Happy jammin!
Yes! Awesome! Thank you!
Hey Tomo, thanks for your first video of 2023! I Love Acoustic fingerpicking, and have listened to a lot of Lightnin’ Hopkins! It’s a terrific style! Where Blues guitar playing got its start! Thanks Again!
My pleasure! Awesome! Yes totally! Praise to Lightnin' Hopkins!
Thank Tomo for another great lesson. I have been trying to learn finger style blues but struggling with keeping the steady bass in time. I would love to see some lessons and tips on this from you.
My pleasure! Hope you can get this one. Please let me know. Could you tell me more specific points on lessons & my tips?
Gota love the blues almost Clapton sounding unplugged.... the first bit you play😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you!
Happy new year Mr. Tomo, I’m starting my guitar journey and your beginner lessons are super helpful. Looking forward to making sone progress
So happy to hear that! Happy new year!
This is very basic blues guitar playing which I can play. I’m not being boastful because I’ve played for 60 years. But how I wish somebody could have taught me to play it in this way all those years ago instead of working it out myself by just listening to records over and over again. New players are very lucky to have a teacher like you to start off with…..and what a beautiful guitar! 👍🍷
Thanks for sharing. Pretty simple but not everyone knows all the details so I made it. I kept very simple. Normally I would go a little more fills & more notes... Good job! Thank you so much!
@@TomoFujitaMusic …..no no…please don’t misunderstand me….simple is good! Everybody needs to start somewhere and to have a clear lesson like yours on how to play a good, simple blues is invaluable. Once you can play this well you can go on to explore more complex blues progressions….and continue into jazz (Ted Greene etc) if you enjoy it. Your idea of building up from the basic stuff is great and will really help new players to develop, improve, and appreciate the blues. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing. Thank you!
Well said, same here. We’re like fine 🍷!!
so much too tell and great stories it helps me
Thanks so much!
Mr Fujita,
I am self taught, been watching your videos for about a year now. I find myself getting lost frequently! I have been interested in subscribing to Guitar Wisdom, and was wondering if a self taught player such as myself could correct bad technique and start from the beginning with the service and information? I really enjoy watching your videos and I’ve learned from them not to compare or expect to quickly.
Thank you for all you do, and any advice related to my question in advance!
Yours,
Aaron

Just what the doctor ordered to chase them winter blues away. A dose of Tomo and his 1963 Gibson LG-1
Yes! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Mr. Tomo I will be studying all of your beginner lessons I appreciate you making these so much! I do have a question would it be fine if I learned this on my electric guitar? As I don't have an acoustic guitar at the moment.
You're welcome! You can play this on your electric.

Tomo!! I believe you've hit upon a great identifiable guitar style to teach us!! It's the root of everything musical blues we all love!! Jim C.
My pleasure! I love this style so much!
Very cool !
Thank you!
Thanks for your insightful videos! I just signed up for your Guitar Wisdom site, I am hungry to learn to play guitar better and I'm sure I'll find your lessons very valuable! I think I'll achieve my goals better with your videos.
You're very welcome! Thank you so much!
Amazing sound. It's too funny - i have been thinking a lot about fingerstyle blues and possibly buying a Gibson J45. Then I thought, let's see if Tomo-San has any videos on it. And HERE YOU ARE!
Thank you! I almost bought a 1965 J45.. then a 1955 J-45... but the one was too clean, the other one was a too played! So I skipped... Glad that I waited. This (LG-1) is Dan Erlewine's influence!
Watched again and learned more 🤩🤙
Did you say that you found a $40 guitar?
Thank you so much! I don't remember what I said in this video
Great lesson Tomo I love it👌👌👌.. nice guitar as well
Thank you!
🥵Oh Mr. Fujita this is a hard one to feel. I’m getting it though. Can you give me some names of some blues guitarists to listen to? I use Spotify. I need to listen to this style more. Thank you.
Lightnin Hopkins, Albert Collins, BB King, Earl Hooker, Jimmie Vaughan, Freddie King, Albert King ... and more!
Wow
Thanks!
Thank you Mr.Fujita.
Delta Lightning blues.
(1/4 tone is bluesy.)😁
Thank you!
I love this! Thank you so much Tomo for sharing.....🎸💯🤘🇬🇧❤️
Thank you!
Wow! Thank you for this Tomo. Im actually trying to learn fingerpicking style in guitar.
You're welcome! You can do it!
what strings? i play a OT-22 Farida that is very very similar in size tone and appearance . we sound the same right now haha (Im practicing with video)
D'Addario EJ16 (12-52) Thanks so much!
Great lesson, it's an amazing exercise to approach blues acoustic guitar!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for that lesson yesterday i was thinking i need to learn finger style so you make a video thats was awesome 🙏💐♥️
You're very welcome! Awesome!
Thanks for Tomo playings which are always help me feel relax！Thanks！
You're welcome! Thank you!
Hey Tomo, first of all your LG-1 looks super clean and sounds amazing. Second of all thank you very much for this lesson, I just got myself an acoustic guitar and this lessons helped me.
I'm a big supporter of your mantra, don't worry, don't compare, don't expect too fast. be kind to yourself. and I wanted to ask if one can buy one of those light signs?
I wish you all the best, Jakob from Vienna
Thank you so much! I love this guitar so much! You're very welcome! That was a gift from my fan.
@@TomoFujitaMusic Amazing Tomo, keep on rocking!
Finally a lesson I can follow along with in real time!
So happy to hear that! Thank you!
You call out frets but not strings. It’s hard to see. But I love the tone. I’ll work on it.
Thank you!
Watched again and learned more 🤩🤙
So happy to hear that! Thank you so much!
Superb tutorial mate👍🏻👍🏻😎
So happy to hear that! Thank you!

Feel like some kind of slide playings．
Yes! Thank you!
💜🙏💜
Thank you.
🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
That guitar sounds amazing. Sounds like it has incredible sustain and fun to play.
I love it! Thank you so much!
Ok - it’s highly addictive! I normally just strum the blues, with an occasional stray note or two… but for the last two weeks I’ve spent probably an hour of two each day playing this way and meandering around the pentatonics - all over the place. My ‘safe-space’ seems to have enlarged somewhat! And you’re still giving me ideas…………..
Yes! So much fun! Thank you so much!
Thank you Tomo for gracing us with your teachings! I am a brand new guitar player and I’ve binge watched your videos since I’ve discovered you. Your easy going style is fun to watch and encouraging. Keep up the great work!
My pleasure! You're welcome!
Great video. You always seem to make it so fundamentally simple. Thanks very much
Thank you! Yes! That's really important! You're welcome!
Really enjoyed watching this video! Just love your blues style. Would like a bit more information on the finger picking, but I can’t wait to try out the sliding technique. I’m a 75 year old beginner who just loves finger style and would love to play gospel music.
Glad you enjoyed it! So happy to hear that! Thank you so much!

Beginner Finger Picking Blues Guitar Lesson PART TWO
ua-cam.com/video/ZNrKUjV9UYQ/v-deo.html
Tomo I’ve been a long time viewer of your amazing videos! I don’t usually comment, but this was a great lesson and I’m having so much fun playing it over and over again! Near the end of the video, you were mentioning on adding more complexity to turn the lightning Hopkins version into your own. I wanted to ask, would it be possible to make a follow up guitar lesson video if you ever have the chance and make a more advanced version of this from using the beginner Hopkins roots like you said in the video, and maybe incorporate a little bit of Tomo/SRV/Clapton spice (an example would be Clapton drifting blues) But this is so great! I feel ready for the next level!
So happy to hear that. Thanks so much for your comment! Normally I play around this and I change slightly every time I play...I may play more chords... more phrases.. but in order to teach this well... I had to learn my own playing and made it super simple not play anything I would play! So that's why most people can get it. I still want to show how to play finger picking blues like this ... keep it super simple. I have many ideas after that! SRV, Hendrix, Clapton, myself.. we owe so much Lighnin' Hopkins!
Maybe weekly thing?
@@TomoFujitaMusic thanks Tomo! You’re the best! And yes you’re right we owe a lot to him!
@@TomoFujitaMusic yes please!🎉🎉
Hey Tomo:) i love ur videos and I would say you’re top 3 inspirations for me as a guitarist; I’ve been playing about a year now:) The number one inspiration for me is this band called Her’s. I would love to see your reaction to one of their videos especially live:) they are my greatest inspiration for getting past the hump of playing guitar. I would love to see what you have to say about their style i feel it is very unique and different and a real shame they aren’t here anymore. I want their legacy alive still. Thank you for your amazing content:)
P.s. listen to What Once Was that is my favorite song by them
So happy to hear that. That's amazing! Thank you so much! Thanks for sharing. Which song? Link?
@@TomoFujitaMusic ua-cam.com/video/O-B-BBwfAWU/v-deo.html their energy is unmatched. Their bond was unbreakable
I am listening that now. Nice chords, voice leading, arpeggios with common tone... Guitar is secondary melody...
@@TomoFujitaMusic listening with you:) thank you so much with everything
