You may know this but I’ll go through it anyway. If you tune the A at the 7th fret on the D string and tune the rest of the strings to that you will have the guitar tuned as good as it can be. This is how Tony Rice tuned. I have been a luthier for 50 years and found every guitar to be different and this method works. Also using a tuning fork teaches good pitch. Thanks for sharing and the new guitar is very nice.
I love using the tuning fork. I have my Dad’s smaller A tuning fork that he’s had for decades, and I used to hold it near my ear to listen to pitch. I never thought to use the guitar’s soundboard as an amplifier until I saw Tomo do it in a video.
@@Alan_Chapman there’s a video here on TH-cam where Tony Rice emplanes how he tunes. Crosby, Stills and Nash uses this method, they call it super tuning. I still have the tuning fork that my first guitar teacher gave me.p in Utica New York 1963. You have a great day.
I made practice routine for beginners with this guitar so everyone will understand what exactly to do everyday! This is gonna be a great supplement lesson for my Guitar Wisdom Subs. You're very welcome!
My wife and I got an Orangewood Morgan Mahogany Live Natural Burst too, and love it! Can’t recommend Orangewood enough, stellar quality at the price-point. 🤙🏽
I think I finally realized, you are the Mr Rogers of guitar video, warm and welcoming and encouraging. What a great sounding guitar, would be nice for taking to the lake instead of my nicer one.
I have an Oliver Live. $250.07 shipped to my door in Virginia with a nice soft case. Box had a 6" x 6" hole but guitar not damaged, FedEx hates guitars. The Oliver is VERY high quality at any price. I am stunned at how heavy it is. I suspect VERY overbuilt. The bracing I can see is THICK. Not sure why. It's from Indonesia. Maybe they worry about the high humidity wood going to winter environments and cracking? The finish quality is stunning. The neck shape is a C and not bad, a bit fat but I have small hands. Not sure how they make such a lovely appearance guitar at this price point. The tuners are terrible, not smooth, notchy, terrible, but the buttons are very nice. Intonation is very good, not perfect but better than most guitars out of the box, you can see where somebody carved on the saddle to set it up. With the Ernie Ball strings it is a finger tip murderer and a pain to play, needs lighter strings but I'm afraid it will lose volume of which it seems to have a deficit. But even with the relatively heavy gauge strings on it from Orangewood it's not very loud. I think the top is VERY thick. Not sure. I'm hoping it will open up. Perhaps I am too used to my Yamaha's and I expected all mahogany to be louder and moodier. I'm playing the crap out of it. The pickup is EXCELLENT, I am surprised it's so good, I put it on full bass setting and full volume and it sounds better than with no amplification. It is a stunningly good deal for a quality guitar, buy three of them.
Nice guitar and you playing shows it is more about the fingers than the instrument. Iv had a few beautiful mahogany acoustics including a very old martin and currently a Babitz Spider all mahogany. I love the beautiful mellow tone. Reminds me a bit of an old Harmony I used to own . Sounds really good and many will be able to aspire to own the same guitar you play and enjoy. Namaste Professor!
I’ve been practicing tuning my guitar via a fork and my ear for the last couple of weeks and it’s actually had an impact on my playing. Funny you used a fork today
All of my acoustics have been Takemine or Yamaha for years - it looks like I need to branch out to see where something from Orangewood fits. Especially at their prices!
Awesome to see more going into guitar Wisdom , which I personally love and go to every night possible. When I'm not there I practice the exercises and triad patterns written down in my notebook plus go through the William Leavitt Complete method book to learn sight reading series.
This is so true, my parents would have me tune by using a tuning fork and my ears, and that dang b string was always the most difficult. I’d always have it sharp.
Can't believe I missed this when it first came out... stupid YT algorithm ! Fantastic guitar box launching... I mean, unboxing ! Enjoy the new addition !
Thank you so much for your attention! Most people watch a few minutes so I play a lot of interesting ideas for my Guitar Wisdom Subscribers. They watch and they catch these important solo guitar parts!
Tomo Fujita sensei, I may be a budgetless right now but for now I am currently using acoustic guitar that I bought using my school pocket money (Im beginner) but actually inside my heart I really² want to have/play electric guitar, no I want to be an electric guitarist that's why after I graduate from school this year I'm going to have a part time job and bought my own eletric guitar. So I want to ask you am I doing great? I don't want to be left behind or should I have bought the cheapest electric guitar and amp perhaps? Btw great video as always 😁 looking foward for your next guitar learning technique, exercise and more advice.
This guitar is great for beginner, intermediate players but even you can play this for a professional gigs! Definitely better to have a better gear. But technically this guitar function really well. For electric guitar, I highly recommend Ibanez AZES31. Great guitar! I think people need to spend a little more money for guitar education. That's why I created my Guitar Wisdom ($14.99 a month subscription guitar video lessons!)
@@TomoFujitaMusic the concept of there being a problem with "perfect" tuning on an imperfect instrument is foreign to most folks.. you should do a vid on the pythagorean ratios to demonstrate why the problem exists.. my father was a professional orchestral musician and tuning issues were the bane of his existence throughout his life.. rather sad, actually
off topic but recently my heart got broken after seeing so many guitarists on tiktok doing so much better than me. if you make one of those self help videos again you should consider doing one about "comparing yourself to others". you will help many
Don't watch TikTok! Just post something! I post my videos on TikTok but I don't watch anything. I am busy working, practicing! Don’t worry Don’t compare Don’t expect too fast Be kind to yourself www.osiamo.com/Pickboy-Wisdom-Picks-by-Tomo-Fujita
One of our favorite guitars we've released! Always a pleasure to hear it played by Tomo 🙌
You guys are so awesome! What a great guitar! So incredible that you can offer this quality with that price range! So impressive!
Thank you so much!
So Good 😊
Do you have a model number for the Oliver Mahogany Natural Burst? I've been all over your website and cannot seem to find it?

@@skipperherman5766 I’ll look it up. Thank you! You as well.
This right here all day every day
Looking forward to the new practice series! Thank you for keeping things fresh and fun as we learn and get better.

I love the sound of your strumming at 8:45. So much music with just a few chords! Thank you.
Glad you like it! Thank you!
I like your reviews and playing skill. Zager guitars, any chance you can review one. Have you ever looked at them on internet? Peace out.🤩😎👍❤
@@robertvann7349 Thank you so much!
Isn't it wonderful ? Even a "simple" chord progression, makes you want to sing. Thanks for making me want ANOTHER guitar.
You're welcome! Thank you!
My wife and I got an Orangewood Morgan Mahogany Live Natural Burst too, and love it! Can’t recommend Orangewood enough, stellar quality at the price-point. 🤙🏽
Thanks for sharing! So happy to hear that! Same feeling!

Thank you so much! Guitar is amazing! I would love to share more!
Thank you from an Australian beginner who has in a very short time already picked up little things from watching some of your old videos.
Thank you so much!!
i like small guitars. that sounds nice. i practice in the morning also. before the brain gets cluttered with stuff.
Awesome! Me too! I love this size.
It makes my day every time I come on TH-cam and see a new video posted by you, thank you
So happy to hear that! Thank you so much!
Master Tomo... this one relaxed me completely just by hearing the tuning! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Tuning slowing! Thank you!
Shocked at the quality and sound for that price! Great video professor!
This guitar is amazing! Thank you so much!
This is very nice Master Tomo, thank you for showing us this great video.
You're very welcome! Thank you!

That’s a beauty. And they have good prices. It’s a shame they don’t ship to where I live.
Thank you! They really care about quality control of their instrument and include shipping. $229/$299... hard to do this on outside of US.
Thank you Mr.Fujita.
Good sustined and balance sound on this price.😄
Glad you like it!

Yamaha & Takamie are good! Orangewood is so special too! Set up is super great!
Tomo, you are so nice! There is never too much for you, you deserve all guitars in the world, haha!

I really wish I could have a teacher just like him.
You can join my Guitar Wisdom!
I love new guitars,,, but tossing is a happy part of the video 😎 Thanks Scotty
Thank you so much!
Can't believe I missed this when it first came out... stupid YT algorithm ! Fantastic guitar box launching... I mean, unboxing ! Enjoy the new addition !
Never late! Thank you!
Very pretty guitar. Sounds good too
Thank you so much! Great guitar!
10:53 前もこのギターに痺れた、ロバート・ジョンソンの曲かな？ミシシッピーコットンフィールドの風景が見える。この曲最高です。
ありがとうございます！
this time I had to pause Tomo Fujita's album to watch Tomo Fujita's video, nice )))
Thank you so much for your attention! Most people watch a few minutes so I play a lot of interesting ideas for my Guitar Wisdom Subscribers. They watch and they catch these important solo guitar parts!
Oh boy unboxing day fun fun. How’s that addiction to the house coming. You know for all them new guitar. 😂😂
Thank you!
6:37 からのギター良かったです。グランドキャニオンが見えてきたみたいに、楽しめて、癒やされました。トークもかなり面白いね。トモ最高！
ありがとうございます！
Beautiful toss once again. Sorry about the damage to your cat and box corner but I do appreciate your box throwing skill as always
Thank you very much!
Very nice guitar ! G'morning from Oklahoma.
Good morning!

Nice guitar. I could listen to you play all day Tomo. 👍 BUT I better go practice so I can play like you someday. 😁 Have a great day! 😊
Thank you! I practice my routine everyday! No matter what! Little efforts everyday will build something amazing later!
How is it going?~ really incredible ~
Very good! This is so good!
オレンジウッドは日本には入ってないので残念です。マット仕上げで渋くて良いですねぇ〜、国内同じ中国からのEASTMANはあるんですけどね。音叉でのチューニング懐かしいです、昔はよく音叉のバーはじかせては口に咥えてやってました。ハッピーコースのコード進行好きです、やってみます🙇♂️
ありがとうございます！このクオリテウイーを維には、やはり国内だけで。とっても嬉しいです！
ご返信ありがとうございます🙇🏻 あと国内には中国からFenderやインドネシアのエピフォン・ギブソン等どちらも単板アコギも入ってきています、ここ数年アジア生産の技術がめざましく向上しており、しかもお手頃価格で驚かされます。
do you own any yamaha acoustics? what do you think of them?
So good! I love vintage Yamaha acoustic guitars
Geez Sensei, how many guitars do u own?
What a great question!
one can never speak too frequently about intonation and tuning issues.. most do not comprehend pythagoras
Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you so much for sharing! Tuning, about the pitches. Very deep!
I learned Lenny from yurr free lessons. 😊
Good job!
How is the action?
Really good! Easy to adjust with the trust rod. I made a little higher for my taste.
How many guitar you have ?
Great question!
@@TomoFujitaMusic I think so many hahaahah

Another guitar? You have one sitting on the sofa next to you ! 😀
Yes! That's my Ava Mahogany Live.
You can never have too many guitar...
You're correct! As long as all fine in house!
@@TomoFujitaMusic I have quite a collection myself and I'll never have enough... I think it's the same for most guitar players around the world...
wow! what is your secret to your wife allowing you to have many guitars? superb 😍
Good question! She is super sweet & I work very hard everyday!
If I could I would buy every guitar in the world. So no, it's not too much
Yes!
I’d rather play than collect
@@ralex3697 I didn't mean collecting
:)

You have to stop buying gear.
Thank you!
