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?
"If you make confusion, nobody understand" is such a great life lesson on top of being an amazing guitar lesson. Thanks so much for making guitar, and by extension, life make more sense!
So great to hear that! You're welcome! Thanks so much! Learning guitar is just one way to learn about my life, values, meaning... could be cooking or fishing. I am so thankful that my guitar love is my job! I am so excited every minutes on daily life. Thank you so much for your comment!

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!
Thank you so much for doing this. I used to sit outside your classroom doing homework waiting for class, wishing one day to take your class. Sadly that never happened during my time at berklee. Years later watching your videos gives me that chance.

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
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!

This is a very good example of playing through chord changes and now that I'm learning Triads it will help me out of playing one pentatonic scale for the whole key.
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.
Thank you for every lesson.. Can teach about mix major and minor blues togeter solo for beautyful sound. and cord that use in song..thank you teacher Tomo.

Your lessons are great, I even listen to your videos in my car. I can't see what you're doing but sometimes it's better to listen. The playing at the end was very nice.
I love your videos, i had been in a rut of not playing guitar and not learning new things in a long time, these videos are really educational and have given me more motivation to keep improving, thank you for making these

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!
I will make more supplement videos on this subject. A few detail preparation before improvisation.
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)

Just added "pitch-recognition ability" and the new "Harmonic Minor video”
tomojustfunky.com/tomo-fujita-guitar-practice-advice/
This is a very good example of playing through chord changes and now that I'm learning Triads it will help me out of playing one pentatonic scale for the whole key.
So happy to hear that! Thank you so much!
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!
Thank you for share your knowledge
