- I love playing BASS guitar very much! I think Bass playing can really teach you a good time feel & song forms so that it makes you a better guitar player. Can you play a bassline for E Blues chord progression? Learning the Bass will absolutely make you a better guitarist!

I just asked my guitar teacher if I should learn bass last week. He said it was one of the best things he did for his guitar playing. Especially when it comes to Jazz and moving baselines. This video just confirms it for me that I need to learn Bass.
Thank you for sharing! Great timing! Thank you so much!
I picked up bass about 10 years ago after hitting a plateau with my guitar playing. And I loved it so much I've barely played guitar since.
@@KyleS.1987 same! Nobody understands, but I don't care.
Thank you for sharing! Good job! Thank you!
Your an amazing dude Tomo! Thx for all your teaching and gentlemanly presence
My pleasure! Thank you so much!
I LOVE BASS!!!!
Thank you Professor Fujita
So happy to hear that! Thank you!
Playing the guitar made playing and learning the bass sort of easier for me. I love it! Musical instruments are amazing!
Thank you for this. Your basses are awesome!
Thanks for sharing! So great to hear that! You're very welcome! Thank you!
Thank you, Tomo! Your videos have been really helpful in getting me to stop noodling and start playing with purpose. I’ve been learning more scales and theory because of your videos!
You're very welcome! So happy to hear that! This way, blues, tempo, song form...more things can be specific. Thank you so much!
That note is really everything. Truly wonderful. Thank you for your continued lessons!
Thank you for sharing! Thank you so much! You're very welcome!
I started on acoustic guitar and play for a while. Then switched to bass and have been playing for a couple years. I'm now moving toward more guitar. I would say playing rythum on acoustic made me a better bassist. But playing bass has definitely made me a better guitarist. Helps you understand the fret board and timing like nothing else.
Thank you for sharing! Good job! Thank you!
A nice reminder to give that old dusty bass of mine some attention 🙂 thanks Tomo!
Same here. My cousin used to play bass and TLDR I bought one so we could "annoy the neighbours" together. That never did happen but the bass is still here. About time to dig that out now.
It's time! You're very welcome! Thank you!
I have not yet watched the video, but I can testify that when I learn the electric bass guitar, I know all the notes on the top 2 strings of the fretboard and also my rhythm has gotten better.
Thank you for sharing. Good job! Thank you!
Its cool watching you now compared to a year ago, I can keep up a little bit 😮thanks brother.
Glad to hear it! Good job! Your efforts! You're very welcome! Thank you!
Thank you for the confirmation Prof. Fujita! Played mostly bass for many years and it really taught me rhythm, groove and the foundations of chords, melody etc. That foundation really helps the transition to guitar.
Only problem now when I pick up the bass the strings feel like thick bars of steel lol 😂
My pleasure! Thank you for sharing! Yes! Good job! Thank you!
Great lesson! I cannot recommend learning bass enough. It definitely forces you to play simpler parts which is great for thinking about rhythm and harmony. At times, I find that actually makes it easier to write songs with. Also, there are very few things that are more fun to play than a cool bassline.
So happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing! Thank you so much!
😎Most Excellent! I'm sending this strait to my bass player. Thanks So Much TomoSan!😎
You're very welcome! Thank you!
Thank you, very good advice.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
This happened to me!!! I've played guitar for about 17 years now, but decided to pick up bass about a year and a half ago. Once I did my knowledge in theory skyrocketed, my ability to finger pick got so much better, and I learned to leave space for other instruments (sonically/tonally). Best music desicion I ever made
Thank you for sharing! So great to hear that! Good job! Thank you!
I have discovered this as well. I was told the Bass is just the first 4 strings on the guitar. E, A, D, G in E standard.
Sounded easy though a much different approach
Thank you for sharing! So great to hear that! Thank you!
great video 👍🏻 i played bass in the high school band , and a couple of other bands . electric bass is an awesome instrument . very powerful at times if played right .
So happy to hear that! Thanks for sharing! Thank you so much!
Very cool lesson
Thank you so much!
yeah so cool. i'm currently shredding some jaco stuff, my fingers needed some weeks to get some thicker skin 🙂
Sounds great! Thank you so much!
Thank you Mr.Fujita.
Bass playing is good for guitar playing.
(But groove is little difficult.😅😂)
You can do it! Thank you so much!
Dude that slap bass, amazing!!!
Glad you like it! Thank you so much!
Thanks!
You're very welcome! Thank you so much!
Love bass- accenting on the 2 & the 4.
Great to hear that! Thank you!
Bass player here trying to get over the intermediate guitar hump.
Two bass recommendations:
1) Turn your bass up and try to play quietly. It will help your technique greatly.
2) Do NOT play 1 finger per fret. It will destroy your hands. Bass requires shifts a lot more than guitar.
3). Tomo is the best!
Thank you for sharing! Coming from Bass player! Thanks for sharing! Thank you so much!
Bass is an instrument that I'd like to learn. This was great. I still recognize that shuffle groove that Eric Clapton did when he was in The Yardbirds, called Got To Hurry. I like drumming and percussion, but bass is another fascinating instrument to me. Cheers! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️
Thank you for sharing! Fun!
Like Jimmy Rowser! Thank you Tomo.
You're very welcome! Thank you!
Hi Tomo, love your channel, one question do you think its important to know all the notes on the fretboard?
So happy to hear that! Just knowing all the note locations... plus all the theory knowledges... I like you to know less things in depths. Knowing positions wont make you a great improviser. Great question but answer is what you do!
Tomo ❤️ Musicmaster!
Yes! Musicmaster Bass!
@@TomoFujitaMusic No Tomorrow….you love Musicmaster guitars and Duo sonic too!🎸👍
@@ckelly5141 Yes! I love vintage Musicmaster and Duo Sonic very much! Thank you!
@@TomoFujitaMusic You are welcome T. 🙏
I think a lot of guitarists do themselves a disservice by picking up Bass and only learning it as a method of playing the root notes of chords a la punk style.
Bass is one of the coolest instruments to know how to play properly. I'd argue the show-off techniques on bass are so much fun.
Thank you for sharing! So happy to hear that! Thank you!
Bass is the first instrument I ever wanted to learn. While I’m typing that’s not true it was actually piano . Bass was the first electric instrument I wanted to learn. Now I just want to learn them all.
Thank you for sharing! Awesome!
Great video! So one piece if advice you give is to listen only to 3 albums. Why is that?
Thank you so much! Just like a musician way of listening music
Album to album (LP) So just limited to only 2-3 records to listen
so that these music live inside you forever!
Especially blues music. Everyone try to play a good solo...but needed to listen blues music deeply. For example: Listen only 3 records
BBKing "Live at the Regal"
Freddie King "1934-1976"
Earl Hooker "Two bugs and a roach"
For 3 - 6 months!
Tomo for President he is the one who cares !
Thank you so much!
Works for other instruments, too. Learn to play drums, then bring that knowledge back to your bass and guitar. Learn to play the flute and bring THAT knowledge back to drumming, bass, and guitar. Learn modular synthesis techniques.... and so on. There is no "wasted time" learning a new instrument. They all relate to one another in fascinating ways.
Thank you for sharing! Great way to put it! Thank you!
Works the other way around to, switching from bass to guitar made me realise that chords and bends were even a thing
Both ways! Thank you for sharing! So great to know.
I know. It actually make you a better Bassplayer as well.
Yes! Sure! Thank you!
Besides hearing the Bass or Drums better in Recordings, If you play Bass or Drums, you will start listening as a Bassplayer or a Drummer. You will start thinking "what do I want to here from the other musicians around me? What makes me as a Bassplayer or a Drummer happy?" If you want to make the Bassist or the Drummer happy, the the way you play the guitar may change.
Just some humble thoughts.
Great another reason for me to pass G.A.S.
Yes! Cool bass!
So glad to hear this! Thank you so much, Tomo! Arigato 🙏
P.S. This type of sound is what has captivated me to the guitar all my life.
My pleasure! Thank you so much!
So happy to hear that!
11:18 Red Hot Chilli Pepper. 👌 But guitar is more ' you ' - though Tomo. 🎸
Thank you so much!
Ok ok ok. The signs were there too many times. I now own a Peavey 4 string. Tiger Eye. $200 at a pawn shop.
Now I really need to slow down.
Good job!!
I have a question and that is; These videos , are they instructional videos, or are they promotional videos in hoping people will pay for on line music lessons ?
Thank you for sharing! Great question! I love share fun of bass playing!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Yeah that's wonderful, but you didn't answer the question .
TH-cam is great place to share ideas. I make more entertaining and education videos. No promotion really. I have my Guitar Wisdom for people who really want to learn deeply and study with me. I make these videos to share ideas. I hope people get something out of it!
@@walterlacayo6503 Thank you! I am so grateful that a lot people are happy at my Guitar Wisdom. Thankful! Many people really want to study with me via in private lessons so I made more affordable online lesson service so yes! I want people to know TFGW is available for people wish to improve their guitar playing skills. Thank you for your support! All the details are in description if you need. Thank you so much!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Thank you .
I have oft considered a Bass. After all it was good enough for Sting. The 4 strings are the same 4 on guitar just an octave lower so muscle memory is the same.
Wonder how 007 theme would sound? B-E-C-E-C#-E-C-E | repeat as wanted ::
| E-F#x4|Ex4|Gx4|F#x3 E| Rinse and repeat |When you chose to move on. E|F#x4|GX4|F#x3 E|E|F#x4|Gx3 F# F E| G(3)# E3 | D3 E3) Something like that..
Sting is so cool! Old Precision Bass! Funny part is when I play bass... I can follow the line better without thinking any chord shapes and ARPEGGIOS... has many different ways to play. Basic approach is to play 3 notes. You can play a) 3 notes on one string b) 2 notes & 1 note on two strings c) 1 note & 2 notes on two strings ...Bass playing is naturally so much fun! Thanks for sharing!
@@TomoFujitaMusic yes. That’s how I do arpeggios. Since I played melody most by life. I don’t arpeggiate chords I just play the notes.
What’s clever is. Don’t have to deal with a B string so things are exact like a Piano. Land a finger, above is its 5th below its 4th. No matter where you go.
I may just go to pawn shops this weekend.
Thanks for sharing! Good job! Please enjoy more chords!
💯
Thank you so much!
Requesting an extra 30db or so. The bass was a little tame.
Thank you for sharing!
Yes, it was not loud enough. I play very soft!
You play like me
Thank you! Thank you for sharing!
