You have to love Tomo if you love to learn guitar! He reminds me of a coach I had growing up who not only taught you the task at hand but how to use the mental side of it in life and not be so hard on yourself. If you've never experienced that type of teaching before, I have to say that it is a process but you will get to levels that others see you as amazing while in your mind you're still striving to be better ... just not trying to be the other guy or girl. His Guitar Wisdom course is right up my alley and loving every minute of it. Even though I have been playing a while, even going back through the basics you find holes in your skills. Maybe you've just evolved into a different method after learning them or maybe you never learned them but it does help to fill in the holes ... even if you don't always use them. It's just another tool in the bag that you can reach back and pull out for something different. Keep doing what you do Tomo and thank you!
So nice to hear that! You're welcome! Thanks so much for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom! Good job!! Just added new lessons!! tomojustfunky.com/tomo-fujita-guitar-practice-advice/
Great post, Ken, you really nailed a few things. 👍👍 I find it irritating when someone compliments me on my playing because, even after 46 years, I regard myself as mediocre. 😂
Django was a very good accomplished guitarist with just three fingers it was amazing how he played because we struggle with the finger we have and played fast as I think he was just good at jazz musician it’s a good job he didn’t count the fret else would not have been able to do what he did
Thanks so much!! I made this lesson last night after I taught 8 hours at Berklee private lessons & one hour business meeting.. You know.. music, song, guitar gives me so much joy!! Thanks for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom!!
ONE video view of Tomo, and how could you NOT want to pick up the guitar. I just want to play with the passion he teaches us with. Even having half of that would make us all special. Thanks Tomo!
Chuck Berry is one of my favorite all time artists. His music and version of JBG will continue to influence people long after all of us from 2022 are dead 😉

Picking this one up again, magnificent run through, i'm just taking it all in nice and slowly, going off on some lovely excursions, fully inspired, stopping and re running bits, and joining it alltogether, lovely, You may know it well already, the solo on Johnny Kidd and the Pirates Shakin all over is also a magnificent thing of beauty. Thanks Tomo.
Tomo he’s basically playing the original Johnny B Goode lick however Chuck never leaves the sixth fret. Many live versions of the song are moved to the key of C. And when you really look at it, just like Jimi Hendrix he never played it the same way twice! A master lesson tomo from a Berklee alumni. Love the way you showed the B-flat blues and where all this can go!
Mr.Tomo I am so greatful for YOU and GUITAR WISDOM!!! This is my experience so far I went through the lessons skipping around ofcourse I realized that I had to learn the TRIADS so I started with the circle of 5ths and went from F to C to G to D to A to E to B to Ab/ G# and then Bb to Eb to Ab and D flat !!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IS ALL OF THEM !!! HOWEVER I REALIZED AFTER I WENT THROUGH THE 7TH CHORD INVERSION'S I HAVE THEM DOWN AND 1 , 4 AND 5 CHORD IN A FEW KEYS !!!!I DIGRESS, I WENT BACK TO THE BEGINNING AND REALLY AM RE-LEARNING THE ENTIRE FRETBOARD VERY SLOWLY LIKE YOU SAY WITH JUST THE C SCALE I AM LEARNING TRULY HOW TO PLAY BY EAR BY GOING EXTREMELY SLOW THINKING OF EVERY NOTE EVERY DEGREE VERY VERY SLOWLY AND SINGING ALONG !!!I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW FAST IM LEARNING IT'S NOT AMAZING TO ME THAT I LEARNED ALL THE MAJOR TRIADS BUT WHAT AMAZES ME IS THAT BY LEARNING THE TRIADS AND CORRECTING THE DEATH GRIP I HAD ON THE NECK , MY TECHNIC IS WAY BETTER, EVERYTHING IS CLEAN AND CLEAR AND I FINALLY UNDERSTAND THE GUITAR AND IT'S FRETBOARD!!! I NO LONGER FEEL LOST !!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH MR.TOMO I AM MORE CONFIDENT AND FEEL GREAT ABOUT MYSELF YOUR WAY OF TEACHING JUST MAKES ME WANT TO DO THE WORK AGAIN , THANK YOU SIR !!!! SINCERELY, JAMES JONES
@@Daviddd10 Yes !!! If your not familiar with the circle of 5ths check it out for sure I went around the circle starting with the F instead of at the top with C that's all !!!

I really love the way you explain how each great player is affected by the formers and what they learn from them and mix those elements to create their own styles. Plz more videos about the blues players and styles and phrases.

@@loarzhapunkt thank you, I appreciate that, I will say that I can play it better than I could before, but It will take a little bit more time to perfect it.
I didn't learn a lot about Johnny B Goode, but lord did I learn about blues! I loved to understand what's going at 14:30, for example. And that progression of what they "used to do at the 50's"? amazing!! hahaha

Why am I grinning through most of your videos? Love that guitar, good catch. When John Lennon was asked why this music is called, Rock and Roll, he answered, "Well you could have called it Chuck Berry."

Thanks! Don't know how I missed this last year but I'm glad I found it. Loved that you explained what Chuck Berry borrowed from T-Bone Walker and showed straight vs swing versions of the same musical ideas. It was ear opening and mind expanding to hear the connections between jazz, blues, rock and country guitar playing back then. I always avoided Johnny B Goode because I suck at double stop slides but I'll take out my '59 ES-225 and try to put your lesson to use. Like your ES-330 mine has a single P-90 in the middle position but it's got a single cutaway, a floating bridge and the neck joins the body at the 14th fret. I know how you love guitars with a single pickup in the middle.
Tomo was Michael Lemmo's music teacher at college. Of course Lemmo works at Norman's Rare Guitars and does the guitar of the day on you tube. Lemmo is a talented player

Beautiful guitar...been watching your vids. Nice work...very good stuff. Watch Eric Clapton in the movie Hail Hail Rock n Roll. They way he shows how Chuck "laid down the law" for rock guitar is so right. You illustrate all the importance of Chuck's nuance. Eric illustrates the historical stamp that Chuck imposed on music. Vital music and technique. Thanks for sharing.

@@loarzhapunkt honestly, its laughable but I'm kind of still learning it... ahahaha... 😅
@@johnvicaireiii5537 i promise you that most of the people who say they can play it cant play it clean at full speed! Dont expect to much - be kind to yourself
Awesome!!
@@loarzhapunkt thank you, I appreciate that, I will say that I can play it better than I could before, but It will take a little bit more time to perfect it.
I didn't learn a lot about Johnny B Goode, but lord did I learn about blues! I loved to understand what's going at 14:30, for example. And that progression of what they "used to do at the 50's"? amazing!! hahaha
Good job! Johnny B Goode is a fusion of BLUES!

I put this on as my background sound. If I pay attention to Tomo I'm sure I'll learn a ton, but having his joyful commentary over his improvisation makes for a soothing backing track to my studies.

@@TomoFujitaMusic Thanks, Tomo!
Why am I grinning through most of your videos? Love that guitar, good catch. When John Lennon was asked why this music is called, Rock and Roll, he answered, "Well you could have called it Chuck Berry."
Thank you!
I do love your lesson tomo. 👏

I don't skeep the ads for you bro! Happy holidays Tomo
Thanks so much!!! Happy Holidays!!
Thanks! Don't know how I missed this last year but I'm glad I found it. Loved that you explained what Chuck Berry borrowed from T-Bone Walker and showed straight vs swing versions of the same musical ideas. It was ear opening and mind expanding to hear the connections between jazz, blues, rock and country guitar playing back then.
I always avoided Johnny B Goode because I suck at double stop slides but I'll take out my '59 ES-225 and try to put your lesson to use. Like your ES-330 mine has a single P-90 in the middle position but it's got a single cutaway, a floating bridge and the neck joins the body at the 14th fret. I know how you love guitars with a single pickup in the middle.
You're welcome! Thank you!
Tomo was Michael Lemmo's music teacher at college. Of course Lemmo works at Norman's Rare Guitars and does the guitar of the day on you tube. Lemmo is a talented player
Thank you for sharing! Thank you so much!

Glam rock has that rhythm like the sweet shade T. rex and others bogie style of music is anther good example of double stops as well

Beautiful guitar...been watching your vids. Nice work...very good stuff. Watch Eric Clapton in the movie Hail Hail Rock n Roll. They way he shows how Chuck "laid down the law" for rock guitar is so right. You illustrate all the importance of Chuck's nuance. Eric illustrates the historical stamp that Chuck imposed on music. Vital music and technique. Thanks for sharing.

What kind of guitars are in Brazil?
@@gurlandherguitar it's not about quality, it's about cost! Here in Brazil we pay about 8x the price you guys paid in US. THAT'S THE PROBLEM! LOL

Tomo, wonderful video as always..Chuck Berry was definitely borrowing heavily from Sister Rosetta Tharp as well as T-Bone Walker.
I would love if you did a comprehensive video on sister Rosetta Tharp. ❤️

Great video thank you! Maybe a T-Bone Walker and or a shuffle - swing variations video coming some day? Cheers!
Great suggestion!
This is the first time I see Tomo being impatient and a little bit sloppy, just as the rest of us) Good to know that he's human too
Thank you! I am a totally human!
