Hi Tomo! Do you recommend using a metronome while making longer loops like 12 bar blues? The Bb Jazz Blues walking bassline lesson at Guitar Wisdom is fantastic. Great detailed instruction. So fun to play along slowly. The chromatic exercise challenge really helped me. I love practicing everyday, but Saturday morning is one of my favorite times to learn, work hard and have fun. What a year! Thanks for all your hard work here and at Guitar Wisdom to help us be better Looking forward to what you have in store for the year 2025! We're living in the future!
Yes! Totally! Practice rhythm guitar & bassline. With a metronome is plus! This lesson, I want to keep it as simple as possible so I did not introduce a metronome. So happy to hear that. Guitar Wisdom Walking Baseline lesson is one of very popular lessons beside Major scale lesson on Essential Theory section. Good job! Chromatic scale exercise is the key to play guitar well. You're very welcome! Thank you for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom. Please watch all Guitar Wisdom Live Stream videos. Happy 2025!
Playing that bass line consistently and perfectly for an extended period of time is not so easy as it might seem. The mind tends to wander and I screw it up, as simple as it is. Another great lesson. This has become my favorite channel.
Meanwhile playing a bassline consistently and perfectly involves a lot of micro variations and these variations are critical to the sound. You get none of this with a loop pedal.
Hands down the best backing track video I have watched. Thank you for this. I have tried to figure out how practice to get the BB King sound for years and now I think I can actually do it!
Thanks! I really enjoyed the whole lesson! It's very gradual...you can get useful suggestions whatever you're level is. I also appreciated that you have explained the more sophisticated jazz chords at the end of the video!!
This is very helpful on looper equipment and provides me more direction to try. This is all inspiring to my jazzy blues goals. Clear notes, quiet space, and solid rhythm. HAPPY NEW YEAR!! May the new year bring you and yours good health and happiness! Wishing you all the best in the New Year!!
Happy New Year Tomo! Aside from being a masterful player, your teaching style is uplifting and easy to understand yet challenging to carry out. Thank you for these gifts.
Happy new year! So happy to hear that Guitar can make you so positive! Life is a challenge and guitar is fun & challenge. You're very welcome! Thank you so much!
You're very welcome! So happy to hear that! I was very busy so I made this pretty quick! Originally I was expecting to make less than 10 minutes video. But clearly I failed!
I'm going to watch a lot of your videos over the winter break! I don't know if I'll be able to put it into practice though😅 Thanks for talking about the equipment!!
You're very welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful! I really felt that I did this too long! My goal was " Simple & within 10 minutes. I totally failed that part! You're very welcome! Happy New Year!
Ive been hard of hearing since birth and wear 2 hearing aids. I have been learning to play a guitar and I'm loving it. Not perfect but do enjoy the sound of music a guitar makes. I love metallica, Steve Ray Vaughan, and Ozzy with Randy Rhodes.
I love your Duo Sonic! Fantastic jazz licks... That's an excellent video about making backing tracks. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, I hope you have a fantastic New Year's. 💜👍
I recommend the one stomp ‘stop’ Electro-Harmonix 720 looper & Beat Buddy drum pedal instead of a metronome. Learn to play all the guitar parts in the music you play. Thank you Tomo.
Thanks for sharing your suggestion. For this lesson, simplicity is very important. You already mastered using a metronome so you can enjoy! You're very welcome!
Playing with a loop pedal taught me how bad my time feel was especially when I comp sparsely on a simple 1 2+ pattern. It made me go back and work on the basics. When I played with other people I thought I was in time but I think they were carrying me. It's not so easy with just me and the pedal 😅
Happy new year Tomo-sensei! Thank you for your videos once again, watching them and practicing guitar is so fun! I was wondering if your book Playing by Ear & Feeling is going to be released in english anytime soon? Sorry if you get asked a lot about it!
Happy New Year! Yes. Title will be changed. I cannot say when but in 2025. I am working on that now. No problem! I just cannot say when until official announcement. Thank you so much! Please join my Guitar Wisdom.
Dear Tomo 🤗 Wishing you and your loved ones 🎉 🎆HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎆 🎉 💫🎉🥳🥂🥳🎉💫 Where everything good and the best of the best and fills your life and theirs in every way and every plan. Kindky:Ivan
How about creating a backing part on a computer, for example by creating a guitar pro's tablature, and playing it back as MIDI? Are there any AI apps on the market that can do that automatically? I use bone conduction earphones that don't block my ears. I can hear the sound of my real guitar playing and the metronome sound from the computer mixed together at the same time.
Thanks for sharing! No. I don't use any tabs. I do my own way to show what, where, intervals, fingerings to use. No apps. All natural and simple way! No good to use a headphone to practice because you cannot hear your finger noise and string noise. Very difficult to hear important nuance.
I do agree it's better to do your own simple backing track to work on improvisation, and other things, than to use TH-cam backing tracks. TH-cam backing tracks, as you explained, contains too many informations and are not good to work on your instrument.
I love the Digitech Trio Plus! What a cool quick rhythm section & choices on same track. Very useful. This lesson is more about "Parts" Simple bassline... R 3 7 Swing Groove... Bb Jazz Blues Walking Baseline... purpose is to learn these simple parts and in order to keep them in tempo and steady groove.... learn about consistency so it's all about guitar technique!
@@TomoFujitaMusic by "buttons" I meant the ones that control things like scrolling and metronome. Unless I upload to a computer I cannot access my saves.
Your playing to a 12 bar blues bass shuffle?? How the heck is it gonna be static?? Lol. Like, so common in blues it's crazy. You might want to check out some excellent shuffle blues. Pretty much exactly what is happening here.
You're so correct in your setting. This video is simply my answer to my subscribers. How to use a looper pedal and someone who is not good at playing simple blues chord progression yet. Concept in this lesson is very simple and very important for beginners & intermediate guitar players. Thank you so much for your input! As performance.

It's very difficult and super important that consistency on playing bassline. So happy to hear that you can understand that part so well. Thank you!
Meanwhile playing a bassline consistently and perfectly involves a lot of micro variations and these variations are critical to the sound. You get none of this with a loop pedal.
@@whatilearnttoday5295 that depends who plays, and how they record it on the looper.

So happy to hear that! Thank you! Wishing you a wonderful year!
Thank you sir for your advice on using basic backing tracks. I get lost in them when too busy. Your suggestion makes sense.
You're very welcome! My pleasure! Great to hear that! Simple is the best!
I'm going to watch a lot of your videos over the winter break! I don't know if I'll be able to put it into practice though😅

Hi, Tomo! Thanks for the lesson, it's very inspiring and sems not to be complicated.
My pleasure! So happy to hear that. Jazz blues is a little bit difficult but you can learn that. Thank you so much!
Cool rhythms. My intro to looper. Cool stuff. Walking bass line I really enjoyed. Thank you
You're very welcome! A lot of people have requested about how to use a looper pedal. So here we go! Thank you!
@ I have looper built into my Boss acoustic pro amplifier. However it doesn’t song good enough
Happy new year. Looking forward to learning more from you next year thank you.
Thank you so much! Happy New Year to you too!
Happy New Year! That was fun and helpful!
Happy New Year to you too! So happy to hear that! I hope you have a great year!

Great Lesson, I was inspired to reinstall my Digitech looping pedal into my home rig!
You're very welcome! It's a great pedal and fun!
Thank you for this lesson.
You're very welcome. It's so much fun making this lesson video!
I love your music!!!!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you, again for your wisdom, I have to use my looper pedal you inspired me. Happy New year to you and your family.
You're very welcome! I wanted to make a shorter lesson (less than 10 minutes!) I totally failed! Same to you! Happy New Year!
I love your Duo Sonic! Fantastic jazz licks... That's an excellent video about making backing tracks. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, I hope you have a fantastic New Year's. 💜👍

Watching your video here in The Philippines, I' ve learned a lot just like your previous videos, Happy New Year Tomo more power next year, Thanks🎉🎉
Thanks so much! Happy New Year!
Most difficult part I always had with looper was to keep the loop very very simple.
Good seeing you. Be well.
I agree! Keeping it simple is key. Thank you! You know this so well!
Thank you Mr.Fujita.
Backing are important but difficult.
😅🙏😎
You're very welcome. Very important and need to be prepared well!

Thanks for sharing! Great way to record yourself & review it in depths. To be a great musician, you should be sound great by yourself too.

Thank you! Merry Christmas to you too!
アノダイズドピックガードいいですね
私は弾き終わった後、爪がツルツルになります。
ありがとうございます！
そうなんですね
You need SPACE in your backing track! 👍🙏
Thank you for sharing!
You can set the rc3 up so you only need to click once to start /stop
Thanks for your tip!
Happy New Year! I can't wait to see new episodes in 2025! 🎉🎉
Happy New Year! I am gonna make a new one tomorrow I can post it on Friday! Thank you so much!

Love that idea! He got purple color so I need PINK suit!
@TomoFujitaMusic Yes!! I love that! And a Roxy pink silver sky
@@jakejudy5455 Thank you! My Roxy Pink is so special. John really wanted me to have that guitar first so I received it on very released day! Amazing!
My experience with many years using the Boss RC-3 is that eventually the buttons stop working.
Thanks for sharing! I bought one more Boss RC-3 from Ebay... This pedal has no spring inside of the button... it works smoother!
@@TomoFujitaMusic by "buttons" I meant the ones that control things like scrolling and metronome. Unless I upload to a computer I cannot access my saves.
@@ross3818 Oh I see... I only use "Save" button & "Next" or "Back" buttons. I never had any problems.
@@ross3818 Do you use individual adaptor for your RC-3?
I use one 9V adaptor only for my RC-3.
@TomoFujitaMusic adaptor is the way to go. Batteries go fast.
First 🥰
One minute close! 2nd!
Step 1: Don't use a loop pedal.
You'll only be creating static loops and your music will be static as a consequence.

@@Gypsy-D I'm a bass player. I understand how much variation is involved in something which appears to be repetitive. A loop doesn't give you that.
@whatilearnttoday5295 this is true. But to start off with and get a good feel it is an excellent starting point.
