  • Special thanks to Tim H (my new fan!) who sent his special package with money for my cds! This gift was so amazing! His friend Bob Cameron who took this amazing photo from live footage of Louis Armstrong in 1941! Incredible! I love it so much! Tim said "I thought you might like to have it in light of the fact that you are a fine musician in your own right." Wow! Thank you so much!!
    Then I thanked him via email.. he wrote me back with more about Bob and Tim's life stories.
    Then Tim wrote.... "Nevertheless, I really admire your skills as a performer as well as a teacher. Of all the teachers I have followed, you make the most sense to me personally."
    ""I am including a link to a video of Rick Beato with Larry Carlton. I saw Larry Carlton play a few years ago and he just blew me away. Since you are so into triads and base your understanding of soloing on them, I wanted to ask you to do a video on how Larry Carlton hears 3 triads above the one that is played... and then he improvises based on these 3 possibilities.
    It's way over my head and I'll probably never "get it" as far as getting it under my fingers, but at least maybe I can intellectually understand it. Here is the video - 5 minutes in...
    • The Larry Carlton Inte...
    Anyway, maybe you can explain it better than they do.
    Thanks,
    tim ""
    So this video is replying to Tim's question. Although I didn't watch that video yet because I wanted to point out two approaches first as simple ideas. Hope Tim will enjoy this!

    great lesson - I finally understand how Larry get's those great sounds from using triads. Most of the lessons out there are just soulless arpeggio exercises that really don't tie them back into musical expressions or explaining musically/functionally what they are really doing. Can't wait to apply your wisdom to my playing!

    I like how you mentioned finding your own style. So many musicians can't get past that point from when you 1st start of wanting to be your idol as apposed to being like your idol. That requires you to grow & be yourself just as they did. And that's not just guitar players that do that.
    I've always told my students that when you walk off the stage if they're not complimenting your talent, but complimenting hiw much you sound just like so & so, then you're not growing as a musician. You're nothing more than an impersonator of someone else. You have to eventually stop listening & copying your idols & start creating your own path if you truly want to be like your idols.

    • @TomoFujitaMusic
      @TomoFujitaMusic  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Thanks so much! This part was so hard yet its was so important as musician to have my own voice. That's the best compliment ..anyone can tell "That's Tomo!" in 5-10 seconds. So once everyone past learning their own heros (many imitation!) then you want to be a huge fan of yourself!

    Influencers are great and you can certainly learn alot from your guitar hereos, but learning to have you're own voice style and flavour is what its really all about. There are thousands of people who can play note for note their favourite artists songs, but few have the creativity to come up with something original and new. That's what the learnings all about, self expression not plagerism. In saying that everyone borrows a few ideas here and there too right?.😅

      When I went to Berklee, a lot of people said to me "Sounds like Larry Carlton!" I liked to hear at first... then "Who am I?" I had to do a big decision. "Don't listen Larry Carlton!" I bought a ticket before that decision so it was so hard! I was holding the ticket and was imagining "What was like?" I am glad that I did that. Now I have my own TONE! You're very welcome!

    For the young folks out there, Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong created the foundation for Jazz solo phrasing on the trumpet which in turn taught Jazz vocalists how to phrase their vocals.

I very much appreciate this as well as all your videos. I am 69 years old now and have been retired from photography now for over 4 years. So I figured I would have time now to learn how to play the blues and jazz. I signed up with a number of guitar teachers on youtube but find your explanations the most comprehensible to my understanding. Unfortunately, even if I understand what you are saying it still takes A LOT of practice to get it under my fingers. Well, it's a start. Thanks again! - Tim H

    Louise Armstrong, such a creative force, his entire being was dedicated to improvisation and melodic invention, back in the days when music was a critical part of everyone's life-the music of the 1940's and 50's was so energetic and filled with emotion. Larry Carlton is a unique, dedicated craftsman, I have been a huge fan of this man's guitar playing since the 1970's!

    Thank you Mr Fujita for your videos! I have been zero experience on February 2021 and my goal was to be able to "noodle". Now I am making chord progressions using your triads lessons at C, A, and F. I have not memorized all the positions yet, but I know the top 4 strings now from 1 to 12 fret. I also do your excercises everyday. I wake up 1 hour earlier than I used to before preparing to work every morning to do excercise, practice the R37 blues, and learn triads.

    Something you might find interesting: playing V over I, specifically in 2nd inversion (i.e. from low to high: C-D-G-B) was first pioneered by Todd Rundgren. Not even Herbie had played that voicing on record before Todd!
    My quick story: I used that voicing in a loop progression for a pop song I was writing and one of my mentors asked if I was a Todd Rundgren fan. I hadn't listened to him before, but after my mentor schooled me on the wisdom of Todd he immediately became one of my all time favorites!

    Tomo-san. I too fell under the spell of LC's first album. Though my youth I was obsessed with trying to play that style. At first I thought I needed a 335 so I got one. Then I thought I needed a Dumble. It was one excuse after another. In 2007 I went to a concert by the late great Pete Huttlinger and was talking to him after the show. Somehow we ended up talking about Larry and before I could say it he said "man I spent so much time trying to sound like him and I don't know why". I laughed and said me too, me too. Thanks Tomo and thank you Larry.
