Hi Tomo, I can't believe I've learned so many chords in so little time just by watching you. May be because your videos are so 'human' ? We, learners, simply go on, just like that, nothing complicated, nothing to worry about... Sure I want many other videos like these, many Happy songs ;-)
So nice to hear that! You're welcome! Thanks so much! This way, each song can teach you very musical chord in good songs! No need any chord books!

1. 5 Things I Wish Beginner Guitarists Knew - as a complete beginner who can play a couple of chords but is yet to get to smooth changes, it was useful advice for me to adapt to my current level, but also to remember moving forward. I have to say however that all your videos contain information and tips for players of any level so picking a favourite was hard. As a beginner if it is a more advanced level, there is still things to pick out that are useful now, but the lesson as a whole still sits in the memory as you advance because you have used something from the lesson already. 2. Would be great to see a video or videos about which guitarists have inspired you and what you take from that inspiration. As in when you watched/listened to them was it the licks you copied, or the style/methods that you learned from. Most of all though Tomo, I think it is your presentation style that grabs people the most. You talk TO people not AT people, and your advice always comes from a place of understanding - especially when you give the reminders with your picks like "Don't expect too fast", "Be kind to yourself" and "Don't compare". I think as a beginner "Don't Compare" and "Don't expect too fast" are often interchangeable as we always want to be better than we are and often allow frustration to overrule the knowledge that anything worthwhile takes time to do it properly. I've found that finding a teacher that resonates is the hardest thing and I put it down to how much psychology there is in learning to play an instrument. So finding the right teacher is like someone trying to find the right psychologist/counsellor - you have to feel a connection with what they say and where that is coming from, and trust the information given. I hope that you, Sammi and the rest of your family have a safe and wonderful New Year, and that 2021 is much better than 2020 - 2021 has a low bar to beat though 🤣😂🤣
Thanks so much for your detail comment! I really appreciate it. I have learned so much from people, my fans and my students! I am still learning something new! Now I think I know how to teach REAL beginners! That's what I want to challenge myself in year 2021! And a few more things are I am cooking .... Definitely I would love to give more inspiration to all. I would love to teach how to use our emotion with performing! Music is so powerful & guitar is so deep! Bottomless! Happy New Year!! 2021 is better than ever!!
I've seriously learned more from this one video than I have in months. I'm still picking it apart. So, thanks. This is fairly unique on TH-cam and I love it.

The problem for me is I don't have a guitar; only a 4-string electric bass; but a crisis is an opportunity: if I manage to transcribe these chords to bass I'll be the best bass chords player in the Universe! :)

The notebook thing is really something I think very useful. I was an accordion player back in time, all I did was just play compositions. It's really different when I started learning guitar as it requires more and deeper knowledge of theory and the ability to create. It's very fun yet new to me. Thank you very much for your advice link. Have a nice day.

Communication I have found is not easy, and not many people are good at it. You are. I like that you teach, say what you are thinking, describe the chords in theory.

Hey Tomo, Love your videos. You are a true inspiration and motivation. By far the best lessons I've viewed. I was wondering if you could do a lesson on different types of rhythms and strumming pattern for jazz guitar. Maybe something on vamping. Thank you very much Tomo. Happy new year
There’s been so many good videos, but I love the 3 levels videos! It helps me to work on different stuff. I’d love to see more of 3 levels videos in 2021! And maybe showing your guitar collection AKA toolbox! P.S Some time ago I inherited my stepdads guitar. It was a 1976 Morris W-604M acoustic guitar with adjustable bridge. First I didn’t think I should have it, but your videos have helped me to learn in my own pace, to be kind to myself and so much more. Now I can practice and play super cool songs on that wonderful guitar! Thank you, Tomo! Happy new year!

My favorite videos from this year were the "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder tutorial and the "Happy Song" by Professor Fujita tutorial. I love learning jazzy chords and going through all the degrees in each chord; it makes it even better when the song they make up is great! For new videos - I love theory, so anything with heavy theory is good. Maybe chord progression theory? It would also be cool to see a Bossa Nova tutorial; I love the genre so much! Very jazzy, too. I am buying my first electric guitar today, so it would be great to see videos on setting up and understanding tone on electric, understanding how to use effects, and how to take the best care of your guitar so it lasts a long time. Thank you for an amazing year of music, Master Tomo. You have made me into a much better guitar player! Keep up the awesome videos! Happy New Year, Garrett

Thanks, Tomo. “Major-minor almost like a cat-dog...” That made me laugh so hard! Those little asides are what I cherish. My favorite was Lovely Chords. It gave me something other than “Blue Bossa” to amuse myself. It’s such a feeling when you get in the flow and you’re almost like a bystander. “Yes, those pretty sounds-you’re making them!” As for ideas, how about rhythms? Samba, bossanova, la pompe, gypsy swing? I’ll even give you the title: “Nine Rhythms. Can You?” Thanks again!

Happy New Year Tomo! I really have enjoyed your teaching skills after the last few months of following. My favorite video has been the slap guitar segment from your tomo fujita wisdom session. Your wisdom extends far past the guitar and it shows immensely. Thank you for all of your thoughtfulness! I want to see a video explaining some sweeping and your muting rake/scrape that I hear so often in your playing. Maybe you already have a video that you can refer me to :) thank you sensei!
Thanks so much! I teach much more detail video lessons and super easy theory lessons at my Guitar Wisdom! Just added new lessons!! tomojustfunky.com/tomo-fujita-guitar-practice-advice/
Tomo, I really appreciate how you walk through the degree of each note in the chords in this video. This is a very helpful way to understand more of the chords while learning them. I found myself recognizing chords from working on triads and from the Bb and A blues Guitar Wisdom lessons that I am working on my muting with. Thank you for all the videos and I hope you have a happy New Year! My favorite video of yours was the A blues and discussion of BB King sound with the song Lucille, it is one of my favorites and was able to see more of the music because of that lesson! I think personally I would enjoy to see a little bit more of discussing the specific style of famous players. I enjoy listening to how you describe the way Larry Carlton and BB King and others play the guitar and would love to know what things you learned as you spent time developing your own unique voice with your music.
So nice to hear that! You're welcome! Thanks so much for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom! Great job learning that topic so well! This video was the last video of year 2020 so I did a little bit more details. This one... th-cam.com/video/zRci_nIUFtI/w-d-xo.html That was very much the way I teach blues... not all about scales! I teach music through guitar! Not just show shapes & knowledges. So glad to hear that you enjoyed my teaching. I really appreciate it. You mean how did I develop my style, my sound? That would be interesting myself! A lot of hard decisions so I made my style. Not just keep working hard... that's anyone can do. Thanks again!
@@TomoFujitaMusic I really like the way of learning with your lessons, I am a slow learner with guitar but it is forcing me to be patient and to work hard to learn rather than memorize. Luckily I learned scales and some basic music theory at a young age but I am still a beginner with guitar and the subscription is keeping me accountable for practicing every day.

Maestro Tomo, thank you always for keeping it funky. I’ve been looking at a lot of Scott Joplin, W.C. Handy, and Irving Berlin - quite a lot of music in the Public Domain - do you have a favorite composer of the 1920s - and would you consider a 3 levels of reharmonization or 3 levels of reimagining/inspiration from your favorite composer’s piece?

I can imagine no guitarist watching this video and not taking something of value away from it... and what d'you know? - Zero dislikes! I rest my case :^) Video ideas? I'd love to see your take on doing tasteful rhythmic variations in a blues setting that add to the groove rather than distract from it. Cheers from Denmark

@@TomoFujitaMusic I think the traditional ways should be explored first. This gives context to the funky and jazzy side of things - perhaps in a subsequent video.
The chords are coming along. However my strumming pattern is kind of off. Is there a video on TH-cam or guitar wisdom that teaches this pattern? Thanks!
Greetings from Seattle.. Thank you so much Mr. Do you ever find you play too much acoustic then electric is difficult somewhat to get used to? The slash chord A over C you use the A triad for soloing but the function is really the C minor.... you could call it c minor 11 correct? so you can use the c min triad too? Request solo on Happy song...
Not at all. I use different touch on each instruments so that's why I love vintage Musicmaster and Duo Sonic : 22.5 inch neck so feels different than regular guitar. For acoustic: Ava Mahogany LIVE (12-53 or 12-54) and Oliver Mahogany (13-56) so I use both guitars for practicing this way I am not used to one tension. Thanks so much!

Would love to be able to do something like this but I have no music theory learning and only know a few chords and can’t name notes on the fretboard although I have been playing for 40 yrs... what a waste of my time not progressing....without being able to know all these notes names...
Don't worry! Everything takes sometime. You can learn basic Music Theory and learn anything simple. Maybe triads? You can work on learning names on each strings! Low E: E F G A BC D E F G A BC...
What I'm curious about Tomo is what sort of musician you are trying to help to develop? I see the benefit of all that you talk about, but I don't see how it applies when i want to create the next great american record
Good question! Thanks so much! I always wanted to be a little versatile but I wanted to focus on certain styles so that I can handle it. Once (long time ago) I wanted to do many styles... I gave up that! Definitely I wanted to build my own style so I have worked on my touch, tone and time! (3T's) I love performing and I love teaching. Someone told me that "You cannot do both really well!" But I wanted to success both! Why not? I am hard worker so I am still working hard every single day! For teaching, I teach "foundation" so that once you have "foundation" you can apply many things into your music! ...From triads, diatonic harmony, ear training, blues feel, jazz chords and all! Music can melt later... So much fun!!
@@montgomerymontgomery570 Glad you liked my answer! Your question was very thoughtful too. I really enjoy everyone's comment and I try as much as I can. Thank you!
Actually that's I am doing! I practice a lot with my acoustic guitar! Especially jazz! Right now I am practicing Root 3rd 7th groove with a metronome using a few standards/different choices of tempos. Very productive way!!

I belive to better understand those chords progression we need to study some theory, how to know if an interval of a root (I) it's major or minor and the relationship about adding 9ths ,dim , 13th , I tried play blind adding those and didnt sound good .

1. 5 Things I Wish Beginner Guitarists Knew - as a complete beginner who can play a couple of chords but is yet to get to smooth changes, it was useful advice for me to adapt to my current level, but also to remember moving forward. I have to say however that all your videos contain information and tips for players of any level so picking a favourite was hard. As a beginner if it is a more advanced level, there is still things to pick out that are useful now, but the lesson as a whole still sits in the memory as you advance because you have used something from the lesson already.
2. Would be great to see a video or videos about which guitarists have inspired you and what you take from that inspiration. As in when you watched/listened to them was it the licks you copied, or the style/methods that you learned from.
Most of all though Tomo, I think it is your presentation style that grabs people the most. You talk TO people not AT people, and your advice always comes from a place of understanding - especially when you give the reminders with your picks like "Don't expect too fast", "Be kind to yourself" and "Don't compare". I think as a beginner "Don't Compare" and "Don't expect too fast" are often interchangeable as we always want to be better than we are and often allow frustration to overrule the knowledge that anything worthwhile takes time to do it properly. I've found that finding a teacher that resonates is the hardest thing and I put it down to how much psychology there is in learning to play an instrument. So finding the right teacher is like someone trying to find the right psychologist/counsellor - you have to feel a connection with what they say and where that is coming from, and trust the information given.
I hope that you, Sammi and the rest of your family have a safe and wonderful New Year, and that 2021 is much better than 2020 - 2021 has a low bar to beat though 🤣😂🤣
Thanks so much for your detail comment! I really appreciate it. I have learned so much from people, my fans and my students! I am still learning something new! Now I think I know how to teach REAL beginners! That's what I want to challenge myself in year 2021! And a few more things are I am cooking .... Definitely I would love to give more inspiration to all. I would love to teach how to use our emotion with performing! Music is so powerful & guitar is so deep! Bottomless!
Happy New Year!! 2021 is better than ever!!

Hey Tomo,
Love your videos. You are a true inspiration and motivation. By far the best lessons I've viewed.
I was wondering if you could do a lesson on different types of rhythms and strumming pattern for jazz guitar. Maybe something on vamping. Thank you very much Tomo. Happy new year
So nice to hear that! You're welcome! Thanks so much!
Happy New Year!!
There’s been so many good videos, but I love the 3 levels videos! It helps me to work on different stuff.
I’d love to see more of 3 levels videos in 2021! And maybe showing your guitar collection AKA toolbox!
P.S Some time ago I inherited my stepdads guitar. It was a 1976 Morris W-604M acoustic guitar with adjustable bridge. First I didn’t think I should have it, but your videos have helped me to learn in my own pace, to be kind to myself and so much more. Now I can practice and play super cool songs on that wonderful guitar!
Thank you, Tomo! Happy new year!

@@TomoFujitaMusic it'll be amazing to check out 🤩
My favorite videos from this year were the "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder tutorial and the "Happy Song" by Professor Fujita tutorial. I love learning jazzy chords and going through all the degrees in each chord; it makes it even better when the song they make up is great!
For new videos - I love theory, so anything with heavy theory is good. Maybe chord progression theory? It would also be cool to see a Bossa Nova tutorial; I love the genre so much! Very jazzy, too.
I am buying my first electric guitar today, so it would be great to see videos on setting up and understanding tone on electric, understanding how to use effects, and how to take the best care of your guitar so it lasts a long time.
Thank you for an amazing year of music, Master Tomo. You have made me into a much better guitar player! Keep up the awesome videos!
Happy New Year,
Garrett

Thanks, Tomo. “Major-minor almost like a cat-dog...” That made me laugh so hard! Those little asides are what I cherish. My favorite was Lovely Chords. It gave me something other than “Blue Bossa” to amuse myself. It’s such a feeling when you get in the flow and you’re almost like a bystander. “Yes, those pretty sounds-you’re making them!” As for ideas, how about rhythms? Samba, bossanova, la pompe, gypsy swing? I’ll even give you the title: “Nine Rhythms. Can You?” Thanks again!

Tomo, I really appreciate how you walk through the degree of each note in the chords in this video. This is a very helpful way to understand more of the chords while learning them. I found myself recognizing chords from working on triads and from the Bb and A blues Guitar Wisdom lessons that I am working on my muting with. Thank you for all the videos and I hope you have a happy New Year!
My favorite video of yours was the A blues and discussion of BB King sound with the song Lucille, it is one of my favorites and was able to see more of the music because of that lesson!
I think personally I would enjoy to see a little bit more of discussing the specific style of famous players. I enjoy listening to how you describe the way Larry Carlton and BB King and others play the guitar and would love to know what things you learned as you spent time developing your own unique voice with your music.
So nice to hear that! You're welcome! Thanks so much for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom! Great job learning that topic so well! This video was the last video of year 2020 so I did a little bit more details. This one...

That was very much the way I teach blues... not all about scales! I teach music through guitar! Not just show shapes & knowledges.
So glad to hear that you enjoyed my teaching. I really appreciate it. You mean how did I develop my style, my sound? That would be interesting myself! A lot of hard decisions so I made my style. Not just keep working hard... that's anyone can do. Thanks again!
@@TomoFujitaMusic I really like the way of learning with your lessons, I am a slow learner with guitar but it is forcing me to be patient and to work hard to learn rather than memorize.

Maestro Tomo, thank you always for keeping it funky.
I’ve been looking at a lot of Scott Joplin, W.C. Handy, and Irving Berlin - quite a lot of music in the Public Domain - do you have a favorite composer of the 1920s - and would you consider a 3 levels of reharmonization or 3 levels of reimagining/inspiration from your favorite composer’s piece?

Video ideas? I'd love to see your take on doing tasteful rhythmic variations in a blues setting that add to the groove rather than distract from it.

I think the traditional ways should be explored first. This gives context to the funky and jazzy side of things - perhaps in a subsequent video.
The chords are coming along. However my strumming pattern is kind of off. Is there a video on TH-cam or guitar wisdom that teaches this pattern? Thanks!
That case, you need to work on your timing, tapping. So search "tapping rhythm" Be able to accent on any part of rhythm. Thank you.
Please check 'beginner series" on my Guitar Wisdom.
Greetings from Seattle.. Thank you so much Mr. Do you ever find you play too much acoustic then electric is difficult somewhat to get used to? The slash chord A over C you use the A triad for soloing but the function is really the C minor.... you could call it c minor 11 correct? so you can use the c min triad too? Request solo on Happy song...
Not at all. I use different touch on each instruments so that's why I love vintage Musicmaster and Duo Sonic : 22.5 inch neck so feels different than regular guitar. For acoustic: Ava Mahogany LIVE (12-53 or 12-54) and Oliver Mahogany (13-56) so I use both guitars for practicing this way I am not used to one tension.

Would love to be able to do something like this but I have no music theory learning and only know a few chords and can’t name notes on the fretboard although I have been playing for 40 yrs... what a waste of my time not progressing....without being able to know all these notes names...
Don't worry! Everything takes sometime. You can learn basic Music Theory and learn anything simple. Maybe triads? You can work on learning names on each strings! Low E: E F G A BC D E F G A BC...
Same way.. you can learn from A string
D string
G string
B string
E string
Same order... only E&F ... and ... B&C has a 1/2 step!!
What I'm curious about Tomo is what sort of musician you are trying to help to develop? I see the benefit of all that you talk about, but I don't see how it applies when i want to create the next great american record
Good question! Thanks so much! I always wanted to be a little versatile but I wanted to focus on certain styles so that I can handle it. Once (long time ago) I wanted to do many styles... I gave up that! Definitely I wanted to build my own style so I have worked on my touch, tone and time! (3T's) I love performing and I love teaching. Someone told me that "You cannot do both really well!" But I wanted to success both! Why not? I am hard worker so I am still working hard every single day! For teaching, I teach "foundation" so that once you have "foundation" you can apply many things into your music! ...From triads, diatonic harmony, ear training, blues feel, jazz chords and all! Music can melt later... So much fun!!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Oh wow what a very thoughtful answer. Thank you for that! So nice how you respond to many of your questions
@@montgomerymontgomery570 Glad you liked my answer! Your question was very thoughtful too. I really enjoy everyone's comment and I try as much as I can. Thank you!
What do you think about jazz on acoustic guitars ?
Actually that's I am doing! I practice a lot with my acoustic guitar! Especially jazz! Right now I am practicing Root 3rd 7th groove with a metronome using a few standards/different choices of tempos. Very productive way!!

@@TomoFujitaMusic thanks sir!
I belive to better understand those chords progression we need to study some theory, how to know if an interval of a root (I) it's major or minor and the relationship about adding 9ths ,dim , 13th , I tried play blind adding those and didnt sound good .
If we copy paste i guess we just will get.stuck without freedom
Awesome! So nice to hear that! Thanks so much!

@@TomoFujitaMusic that’s the one! Need videos like this. The jazzier stuff (which I want to get to grips with) like that I need explaining and breaking down so that when I play I have an awareness how and why it works. I think the theory will be beneficial on the guitar wisdom 🙏
@@TomoFujitaMusic oh perfect! Thanks! Looking forward to it 😁
@@ElliotShulman Great to hear that! I can teach more jazzier things very easily... but jazz is not so popular on TH-cam so I always a little hesitation doing jazz lesson. I am planning to make more funk and jazz lessons at my Guitar Wisdom! I already made 25 theory lessons at my TFGW...but I am adding more about chords & phrasing lessons.
No I’m lost
My freind and I suppose mentor say's "worry does no work"
Don't worry! Don't compare! Don't expect too fast! Be kind to yourself (While you are working as hard as you can!)
