Hi everyone! First off, thank you so much for supporting my Dad, Tomo! I just wanted to clarify something from the video. While Tomo is the one who makes all the creative decisions, I do offer suggestions based on feedback and observations from the community. My role isn’t to tell him what to do but to help him understand what viewers like you might be looking for, so he can continue making content that resonates with everyone. He enlisted my help to save some time with the brainstorming part of content creation, so please let him know in the comments what you want more of!! Thanks again for your continued support :)
Thanks Sammi for clarifying this part! You gave me a lot of ideas! You are amazing! Thank you so much for your support too! You are really helping my TH-cam channel!
I like Mr Fujita’s tangents and jams; they make the video feel like a real private lesson. I’d like to see more chapter markings in these 20-30 minute lessons. As many or as few chapter markings as feels necessary.
Triads are so versatile and fun - thanks for showing us new ways to be expressive and make musical phrases with these simple shapes. Worth the effort to learn!
Tomo thank you! For always keeping it real down to earth and for sharing truly, no edits or questions. Ive learned so much from you over the last 3 months I want to thank you again. Im deep into the lessons, especially in triads and spread triads, over at guitar wisdom and have been for a few months now, and it feels as if these YTvideos are really perfect for integrating what I have learned at GW. I want to thank you again again for guitar wisdom itself and what yall have created there. I’m learning more than I could’ve ever imagined and I have so much more ideas and fun when I play now. It’s like lightbulbs constantly going off. For this I am ineffably grateful to you! Thanks for keeping it positive. And sharing the kindness with music. They go together so well also, I don’t mind when you get to soloing on the videos. I find it helpful as you usually apply the lesson and what you are teaching into your playing.
My pleasure! So happy to hear that! Normally I start to talk but this time I thought a little demonstration will get people's attention first. Thank you! You're very welcome!
That intro was fun! Thank you for all your videos I have watched so many, and I always learn new things! I didn't know the story about Dont Worry and Dont Compare before. I still don't know my triads, but you help me a little every time. Now start to hear them in my head, like you say, without cheating :) For next videos, I always like the beginner lessons Maybe next, how to go from the triads to playing and writing melodies, like building the triad bigger on the fretboard or connecting them-I don't know how to do that yet.
Thank you! This time I thought it's fun to show how to jam with these ideas. Glad you enjoyed it. Don't worry! Don't compare! Don't expect too fast! Be kind to yourself! Came from Owen's private lessons! You can learn triad inversions at my Guitar Wisdom. You prefer more beginner lessons? I will listen everyone's comments. You can connect triads & melody (Major scale)
Must have foundations. They can be boring but they are necessary. Many humans forget it took almost 2 years to learn to walk. Foundations take time. You can have fun along the way. Be well. Play hard.
This is a fantastic video….builds nicely on the one’s earlier this week and sort of pulls it all together. My fingers have some homework to do…. THANK YOU!!
So happy to hear that! My pleasure! Thank you! Previous lesson video and one before ... a lot of people loved them so I adding more relate to those lesson videos. You're very welcome!
I learn so much from your videos. I started following you 2 years ago and your guidance has helped me tremendously to develop as a musician. I respect you authenticity and it comes through in your playing, as well. Thank you for being so generous with the community!
I really need to master this... I have the entire fretboard memorized and can noodle all over the major, minor scales, most modes, etc. but having trouble visualizing the chords under the scales as well as I'd like to but with these lessons I may yet get there. Thanks so much!
@@TomoFujitaMusic I will keep working on my triads and inversions as I know them all now thanks to you but need time to become fluent. Do-Me-So, Me-So-Do, So-Do-Me. Thank you for the added advice. I will follow it!
I really like these progression ideas with looper and foundation practice. They give me something new to try plus easy to understand because they are so well explained :) Also really nice to hear what professional technique sounds like.
Happy New Year Tomo. I haven’t commented for a while but I haven’t missed a video. Your content is great as always and I’m considering Guitar Wisdom. I need something to get over a plateau I’m stuck in. My resolution for 2025 is to get beyond this place to another level. I know I can be better, but I need a push and I connect with your peacefulness. I look forward to working together on my goals but I don’t expect too fast. 😅
Hi! Tomo, I love you lessons. I think it's really cool when one can do an chord progression by kinda improvising the next chords and so on, could you maybe do a lesson in that?
Yet again, a very informative lesson based on triads-thank you, Tomo! I just want to ask: is learning licks helpful? For instance, I'm learning B.B. King's licks, both minor and major. A few of them are at my fingertips now, but there are so many that I can only recall a few. Even then, I struggle to play them quickly or on the spot. Could you please help me with this?
My pleasure! Learn anything is helpful only using by ears! No visually. Plus need to know chords behind that lick! If you use BB King phrase, try to change keys so that you cannot use same fingering and strings! You should do everything very slow. You are learning BB King real phrases right? Not minor and Major pentatonic = knowledges. Try to learn only 2-3 licks note for note!

Thank you Sammi. You are and have been an unsung hero behind the scenes for awhile.
I like Mr Fujita’s tangents and jams; they make the video feel like a real private lesson. I’d like to see more chapter markings in these 20-30 minute lessons. As many or as few chapter markings as feels necessary.
We love Tomo! Thank you for helping him reach us. He is an inspiration to us all.

You are so correct, you need to be a good human to be good musician. Thank you!!!!!
Thank you! Be a nice guy first then... more fun! My pleasure!
Thank you for todays lesson Tomo. You always help to keep me focused on the foundations.
You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it! Yes! The foundation is so important!
Very instructive. The opening number was an exposition in the usage of this information. Thank you for doing what you do.
My pleasure! So happy to hear that! Normally I start to talk but this time I thought a little demonstration will get people's attention first. Thank you! You're very welcome!
Like to see lessons much more than gear reviews/demos. Love it when Dexter is in it🎸🎶
Yes! More lessons are coming! Thank you! Maybe Dexter will join! He was sleeping.
Thank you Tomo-san for you guidance and the good vibes!
Thank you! So happy to hear that!

Great point! Foundation is so important in any subjects! Yes! We cannot rush! Thank you so much!

Always love your lessons, they are both musically and educational for the fingers!!!!!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

So happy to hear that! Glad to be helpful! Do not memorize the fretboard! Be familiar with the fretboard with triad inversions! You're very welcome!

So happy to hear that! Triad approach is great way to navigate the chord progression. Thank you for sharing! Pros know those triads (Top & Bottom)

Good video 👍🇨🇦
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoyed it!
Jamming is good because then we can take naps between learning heavy stuff
Good job! Thank you!
I love when you jamming.
Thank you! I wanted to make a shorter video... but clearly I failed!
Just curious. How many guitars do u have
Great question! Too many! I am in gear diet now!
Hardtail
Yes! Simple and sounds great!

Thank you so much!
