Thanks so much for all of your comments! So great to hear that you guys enjoyed my guitar lesson videos! Would you like to learn about blues more? Or any requests below here.
First of all I'd like to thank you for sharing your knowledge in such a motivating way. I really love watching your lessons here on youtube and on your Guitar Wisdom website on a daily basis. I once heard about soloing "through the changes" instead of over them and have never really understood what it means. Could please explain one day?
So nice to hear that! You're welcome! Thanks so much! I will make video on that subject. "Over the changes" "Through the changes" etc. I really enjoy making video lessons at my Guitar Wisdom! Great job!! Please check my new interview by Zack Gibs & my free advice!! tomojustfunky.com/tomo-fujita-guitar-practice-advice/
Tomo, watching your Blues lessons was great confirmation that I was doing something right! Trying to assimilate it all from a few books & other sources is a slow road. You covered most of what I "thought" was correct...without knowing for sure. Now I do! Thanks. How about a Country Blues vibe, since Blues was also predominately rural, before the city migrations? Maybe something like a drone bass & finger style?

Hi Tomo, This is Paul in Dallas. I subscribe to the Active Melody site and heard you and Brian talking. Is there a place I can go to learn more about your Guitar Wisdom site? Thanks, Paul
Such an inspiration! Im a very slow learner with little to know talent but the thought of playing just a bit like my guitar heroes will be all worth it!

Tomo, I have joined your Guitar wisdom site and am enjoying it very much. I have played guitar on and off for most of my life. I played classical guitar in college for a few years. I made a lot of progress but ultimately felt that I was not progressing in proportion to all the time I was investing. A few years later, I bought an electric guitar and started working on jazz. I've played on and off, usually a few years at a time, working on chord progressions, scales, arpeggios and soloing. I never seem to get where I want to be. I have a fair amount of knowledge and reasonable skills in my hands but I still can't really play anything. When I started working on jazz, there is so much to know and be able to do that I get overwhelmed and feel like I'll never get there. I want to have the fluency to make music naturally. I'm starting again now after a couple of years not playing and that same feeling is coming up. It takes so long to really own all of that information. How can I develop the skills while not being overwhelmed by the practice required to gain them? It seems impossible to me to naturally see and feel all of the scales, modes, arpeggios and chord forms all over the neck. And I've practiced the scales and arpeggios so much that that's all that comes out of my fingers when I play. How can I practice while also making enough music to make it enjoyable? I guess I'm looking for a road map. How long to spend on what things and then how to use them so that I can make music at whatever level I'm at? My sense is that I need to understand the chord forms all over the neck and the chord tones and modes associated with each. I never seem to get to the point where I can follow the changes quickly enough to even think about making real music while keeping in mind all of the theory. I don't know how to think about a melody when I'm trying to see a scale or chord tones for each passing chord. I'm in no hurry. I am not a performer (needless to say). I play for the pleasure of the sound and using my hands on the guitar but I want to feel that I am making progress as well. Maybe you can make a video around this subject. I'm sure many players have this feeling.
Thank you so much for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom. Thanks for sharing these. For jazz, 1) Listening only jazz for a while 2) Learn R 3 7 Swing 3) Learn triads ... no 7th arpeggios etc... to easy to learn pattens and it won't work that well. 4) Learn " Rose Room " Charlie Christian by ears! I have this song lesson here at my TH-cam channel. Please separate " Performance " idea & " Practice " idea. No need to have a lot of information. Less is better. Focus on each items with depths. Hard to say how long? Two weeks to a few months on one topic. So you really master each subject. For example, can you play Triads 3 ways with super clean technique? If not, this topic is slowing you down big time! Please take your time! You are going to enjoy more! Thank you!
No need to know all possible ways to play modes & arpeggios! More specific ways... 1) One String One Finger... really good with Ear Training... 2) Triads 3 ways 3) R 3 7 swing groove ( Jazz Standard section on my Guitar Wisdom) Learn each song and spend 1-2 weeks on each song! 4) Listen Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery, Barney Kessel , Kenny Burrell, Grant Green, Jim Hall, Joe Pass, George Benson)
Tomo, thank you for your reply. I am on my way out of town now but will look closely at your recommendations and reply as I go along. Thanks again. It shows that you really care about your students.@@TomoFujitaMusic
Picking up little pieces of wisdom over the last year or two and slowly I am getting pretty good in different areas of playing now. My ear even when I listen to blues, I am learning now, but in a way thats thanks you learning things from you and then hearing it in the music. I get compliments on my bends now! Unbelievable to me. I ham woth a friend who can improvise blues, and I already know the chords when we first meet. Awesome.
Just had to come back after having had this jam in my daily practice routine for 2 months. This has helped my playing more than anything has so far. Thanks Tomo!

If you are lucky in your life you will meet three masters that can change your way of thinking, your approach to life and how you apply yourself, and your abilities. Here is One of them. The last minute of that video was humbling.
It looks like only your high E and B strings are intonated on this guitar?! "This instrument is amazing for communication!" YES! More people play guitar than any other instrument. At no other time in history have so many people played and understood Music. So many people have the basis for mutual understanding. At a time when governments bust their asses to limit communication! AND PROMOTE WAR! MAJOR PARRIDOX!

Tomo you are the coolest guy ever. Thank you so much for spending all this time with us online. It means a lot to me and so many other people. I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks now and I’ve learned so much about music, guitar, patience, gratitude and so much more. Sorry if this comment is sappy, i just got a little emotional when you starting talking about how the last few months have affected you 😅😂

I gotcha just work on making the shot before learning to slam dunk.🙏 Very easy to get caught up in the confusion of modern day and to try to learn this thing fast. I’ve been playing for 30 years but with you, I find myself erasing that chalkboard and just starting off with a clean slate and I’m happy to do that. But I have the benefit in the advantage of mental conditioning and Finger finger dexterity. You’d probably get angry if you saw me just loop sessioning sections of your video where you’re just doing a rhythm and I’m practicing soloing over it. But I am using your soloing techniques that you’ve taught me 😉just making one point line shots or whatever they call it in basketball ,Over and over again, trust me your video gets wear and tear from me. you start your videos off with thanking us. When is us should be thanking you for putting these valuable gems up And nuggets of knowledge up. I mean, really I owe you a serious debt of gratitude. I played guitar for about 30 years like I’ve always mentioned and I put it down for a while only picking it back up sparring but now you have me back on it solidly. The electric skateboard the video game system All of that stuff is collecting dust now, and my axes are polished and Being played. I feel like if a minute goes by that I’m doing something else that doesn’t involve my guitar and it’s not important, I feel actually feel pain from loosing that minute . BTW, pinky fingers is in a splint and I’m using the other four and managing🌞
Thank you for sharing. Internet, too much information! Less things are very effective and more productive. Glad to be helpful. You can join my Guitar Wisdom. Really different type guitar education site. You will find it out! Thank you!

Tomo, that beautiful shade of red, might be closer to the pinky red that vintage red strats turn over time? Either way its a lovely shade. Do you have any 1980s Tokai Springy Sound stratocasters? I think they are very close in feel and tone to genuine vintage Fender Strats... I wonder if you have played any or have an opinion on the Tokai. Thanks for the teaching, maestro!

Great video, thumbs up :) Um,, I have a question about finger nails, can i ask it? I’ve heard that the finger nails of your left hand(the hand that presses down the strings) will get shorter as you play guitar. If this is true, will my finger nails stay like that forever? Or will they eventually come back to how they used to be?

So good Tomo. Sweet, silky spunky! Put a smile on my face and really put me in a good mood. Tomorrow (It's past my bedtime) I will try to play chords over your soloing at the end of the video (Or bass) and see if I can follow. Thanks a lot for that. You rock! 😎🙏

More specific ways... 1) One String One Finger... really good with Ear Training... 2) Triads 3 ways 3) R 3 7 swing groove ( Jazz Standard section on my Guitar Wisdom) Learn each song and spend 1-2 weeks on each song! 4) Listen Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery, Barney Kessel , Kenny Burrell, Grant Green, Jim Hall, Joe Pass, George Benson)

Tomo, thank you for your reply. I am on my way out of town now but will look closely at your recommendations and reply as I go along. Thanks again. It shows that you really care about your students.@@TomoFujitaMusic
Picking up little pieces of wisdom over the last year or two and slowly I am getting pretty good in different areas of playing now. My ear even when I listen to blues, I am learning now, but in a way thats thanks you learning things from you and then hearing it in the music. I get compliments on my bends now! Unbelievable to me. I ham woth a friend who can improvise blues, and I already know the chords when we first meet. Awesome.
Great job! So happy to hear that. Thank you!
Just had to come back after having had this jam in my daily practice routine for 2 months. This has helped my playing more than anything has so far. Thanks Tomo!
Glad it helped! Good job! Thank you!

It looks like only your high E and B strings are intonated on this guitar?! "This instrument is amazing for communication!" YES! More people play guitar than any other instrument. At no other time in history have so many people played and understood Music. So many people have the basis for mutual understanding. At a time when governments bust their asses to limit communication! AND PROMOTE WAR! MAJOR PARRIDOX!

I gotcha just work on making the shot before learning to slam dunk.🙏 Very easy to get caught up in the confusion of modern day and to try to learn this thing fast. I’ve been playing for 30 years but with you, I find myself erasing that chalkboard and just starting off with a clean slate and I’m happy to do that. But I have the benefit in the advantage of mental conditioning and Finger finger dexterity. You’d probably get angry if you saw me just loop sessioning sections of your video where you’re just doing a rhythm and I’m practicing soloing over it. But I am using your soloing techniques that you’ve taught me 😉just making one point line shots or whatever they call it in basketball ,Over and over again, trust me your video gets wear and tear from me. you start your videos off with thanking us. When is us should be thanking you for putting these valuable gems up And nuggets of knowledge up. I mean, really I owe you a serious debt of gratitude. I played guitar for about 30 years like I’ve always mentioned and I put it down for a while only picking it back up sparring but now you have me back on it solidly. The electric skateboard the video game system All of that stuff is collecting dust now, and my axes are polished and Being played. I feel like if a minute goes by that I’m doing something else that doesn’t involve my guitar and it’s not important, I feel actually feel pain from loosing that minute . BTW, pinky fingers is in a splint and I’m using the other four and managing🌞
Thank you for sharing. Internet, too much information! Less things are very effective and more productive. Glad to be helpful. You can join my Guitar Wisdom. Really different type guitar education site. You will find it out! Thank you!

If I may add to the wise teacher's lesson, I think simplicity is what the masses, or non musicians, prefer to hear.

Hi Tomo, I’ve been learning blues guitar for a few weeks now. Thank you for your videos, they’ve helped a lot 🙂
Great to hear!
You can never learn enough about the Blues - it’s the foundation of most contemporary music; but SO hard to play something that isn’t a cliched!!!
Yes, blues is very deep! Thanks so much!

それは、とっても嬉しいです！ありがとうございます！
[PSS Pt. 1] Starting phrase at 0:58, breakdown at 1:11 within A (Ionian) major Pentatonic scale at 7th fret of 3rd string (G string) the starting pitch or note is C chromatic, then next fret or semi-tone up is C# which is major 3rd, then E is perfect 5th, then F# is major 6th, then A on 1st string or high-E string is the the 1st or root note A. After the starting phrase (and between the phrases) playing chord (diad of two notes the 3rd and 7th) at 1:20. [However, the diad chord of 4th and 1st is played only once before sliding to two strums of 3rd and 7th chord in this example perhaps by mistake or for intentional variation]. Next phrase at 1:52 starting on the perfect 4th which is D note. The third phrase is at 2:06 which is starting from 9th fret G string: 5, 7, 2, 3, 2 ... Baseline at 2:38 which is 1, 7b, 5, 1 repeating for four bars. The two bars of 4, 1, 3b, 1. Back to 1, 7b, 5, 1.
Thanks for sharing. Do you follow each chords?

ブルースなのにジャズっぽいしジャズっぽいのにブルースだしブルースとジャズってやはり共通点があるんでしょうか・・・
多くのジャズミュージシャンはブルースを必ず演奏しますよね。ただ3コードではないですが。3コードとシンプルなのにジャズっぽい。スイングしてからでしょうか？
ジョニーギターワトソンとかも好きでよく聴くのですがジョニーGもジャズっぽいフレース弾きますね。ツーファイブのアプローチなのかな？？？
スキャットしたりもするしピアノトリノでのアルバムもあるしブルースできてジャズが出来るって本当に憧れます！
またカントリーもジャズっぽい雰囲気があったりしますよね？とは言えそれぞれのフィーリングが異なるから違う感じになるのでしょうがアメリカの音楽という意味で共通してますね！
ナッシュビルのスタジオギタリスト？のBrent Masonなど聴くとビバップ的ですよね？
トモ先生のプレイからもカントリーのフレージング、フィーリングが聴こえるときがあります。ラリー・カールトンやロベン・フォードもそういう部分はあったりしますよね。エイモス・ギャレットなんかは思いっきりカントリー的なフレージングとか弾いても何故かブルースを感じてしまいます。
なんか話がまとまらずすみません。
シンプルであるがゆえにちょっとしたフィールの違いで全く異なる世界観にもなれるというか音楽って本当に面白いですね！
トモ先生の動画はいつも僕の音楽的なツボを押してくれて凄く楽しくなります！英語日本語関係なくとても内容の濃い動画をアップしてくれてありがとうございます！
ありがとうございます。ブルースとジャズが気になるという事ですね。
どちらもボクにとっては、とっても大切です。ゆっくり楽しく発見しましょう。

Tomo, that beautiful shade of red, might be closer to the pinky red that vintage red strats turn over time? Either way its a lovely shade. Do you have any 1980s Tokai Springy Sound stratocasters? I think they are very close in feel and tone to genuine vintage Fender Strats... I wonder if you have played any or have an opinion on the Tokai. Thanks for the teaching, maestro!
Thanks so much! I sold that!

Great video, thumbs up :) Um,, I have a question about finger nails, can i ask it? I’ve heard that the finger nails of your left hand(the hand that presses down the strings) will get shorter as you play guitar. If this is true, will my finger nails stay like that forever? Or will they eventually come back to how they used to be?
Thanks so much! Left hand nails are a bit shorter than right hand side. I practiced so much bending!
