Awesome funk guitar on a Gibson J45. That is a mark of a true musician. Also, you stated that this is not part of the lesson. Seems to me that everything I see on your videos is an important lesson. Thank you Tomo for starting my 2021 with some great inspiration.....

Thank you, great teacher. Fun and funky. As I continue somewhere at an intermediate level, two slogans I repeat to encourage myself and others: I play because I have a need to fulfill. You have to believe in yourself (and then anything is possible). Peace and best wishes.

There at 6 minutes in.. playing with metronome banging on 2 and 4, is powerful powerful stuff.- it truly develops time feel, have been doing this for years when practicing, and try to tell people to check it out. It’s magic. Any pocket I have is largely from this (and getting to play with the right drummers) If you can swing a metronome you’re 95% of the way there.
Love how you go completely off subject! That jam was righteous man! 57 and just started playing 6 years ago. Thank you for another great lesson Tomo 💙 🤟😎🤟

Tomo that was very insightful thank you! Please do a lesson on the funky progression you played that was "nothing to do with the lesson" it was amazing!! And I think a video about the different patterns you have for each tempo that you discussed would be a great follow on. Thank you so much for your content! It helps so much!

It might be even better if it mirrored or extended any system you have in guitar wisdom. I was xhecking on your website and didn't find it easy to match to lessons. However great stuff. Thank you.
I love that funk stuff . We’re you playing guitar in early 80s? I started 80 81 I turn 55 in oct. But my influences Black Sabbath, priest, scorpions. From watching your videos sounds like you could play for earth wind fire, funkadelic, parliament. Amazing funk playing you create from basic 1 4 5 chords your rhythm right hand is bad ass..You also play jazz stuff way over my head. Im not even trying and learning stuff from watching your vids already. I think it’s because you’ll play through not say anything show exactly what your doing on fretboard. You don’t talk lot, you just play. and that is best thing.. I really appreciate that because Im learning from you fast'!! No turtle
Thank you! I was born in 1965 and started playing guitar in 1978. Jazz is great tool to improve as better guitarist. Even playing other style of music. Jazz is very effective to learn.
Thank you, sir - this is awesome stuff. I was going to try to tab out that funk riff (as a memory aid) but realized it would take about 12 years. Lol. I’ll just take what I can and be grateful.
If you learn proper things then you can lift any notes easier! You're welcome! Thanks so much!

Y'all takin' us to Funk City, Fujita-san! I love blues and flamenco, but after hearing this, I'll think I'd rather start over with a focus on funk. This makes me want to get up and dance, and I think will be the basis of my reintroduction to guitar. If it ain't got that swing, it don't mean a thing! Thanks for sharing! Chiba-ken Home Girl

Instead of a metronome, I have a multi effects pedal (ZOOM G1X FOUR) which has dozens of preprogrammed rhythm tracks using real drums, in every style including Jazz, Blues, Country, Funk, and so forth. Of course it also can do just plain metronome. I find I don’t play as well with a metronome, that it’s distracting, but with these drum loops I play much better because it has the feel of the styles of music I’m playing or practicing.

Hey Tomo! Question about your routine... diet and exercise routine that is 😂 How are you able to stay thin during the pandemic? I've gained 10 pounds since it all started 🤦🏻♂️ Much love and thank you for your lessons and GW!
That's very important! Sleep well! Eat well! But don't eat too full! No snacks! I do a lot of exercises, stretching, workout! Thank you so much!! Thanks for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom!!
Hi Tomo, your videos here are so helpful. This rhythm lesson is excellent. I have always struggled with rhythm, especially the timing aspect. So that, along with chord melody and smooth seemless transition between chords... both the chords themselves and the lead playing. Getting a better handle on those things is my goal for 2021. Thank you for all that you do!

You're welcome! Let's say you are playing with a metronome at 120 per beat. Then 60 at 2&4... more room you get, you can play many different feel. Many reasons but you don't need to do anything if you are not into! All choices.
A lot of times when I try to come up with song ideas I play the same chord progressions and melodies, how can I come up with ideas outside of what I would normally play? Thank you

I was wondering one thing. I can play certain licks 150 bpm 16th notes, never went past that point. What is the fastest way to increase speed for learning new patterns or licks? I have experimented with 100 bpm metronome at first, so extremely slowly and perfectly. Within few days I could play 100 bpm 8th notes and the speed would come actually pretty fast. Is there a better way or more efficient way to increase speed?
hey mr.Tomo, you're the real one out here. I truly love your work from the core of my heart. Thanks for being there and thanks for making this world a better place. Since you're a teacher at berklee and a musician i'd like to ask you..what is it like? Is the struggle as bad? I recently started playing guitar and i'll be 16 soon. I want to be a musician and live my life delving into the depths of music. I know it's a really hard and tough life but i'm ready for the struggle. It would be of great help if you could suggest as to how i can make it big in this field? also my goal right now is to get into berklee. I've subscribed to your guitar wisdom lessons. How much should i practice? What should i do to get in? and is it possible to get in after only practicing for 2 years? I know these are a lot of questions but if you can be so kind to answer them it can change my life. Thank you!
So good. Inspirational. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! My pleasure!
Your acoustic strumming funk, jazzy... Is amazing.
Sounds so good. Looks like fun to play

It might be even better if it mirrored or extended any system you have in guitar wisdom. I was xhecking on your website and didn't find it easy to match to lessons. However great stuff. Thank you.
Love your chops,
Thanks!
I love that funk stuff . We’re you playing guitar in early 80s? I started 80 81 I turn 55 in oct. But my influences Black Sabbath, priest, scorpions. From watching your videos sounds like you could play for earth wind fire, funkadelic, parliament. Amazing funk playing you create from basic 1 4 5 chords your rhythm right hand is bad ass..You also play jazz stuff way over my head. Im not even trying and learning stuff from watching your vids already. I think it’s because you’ll play through not say anything show exactly what your doing on fretboard. You don’t talk lot, you just play. and that is best thing.. I really appreciate that because Im learning from you fast'!! No turtle
Thank you! I was born in 1965 and started playing guitar in 1978. Jazz is great tool to improve as better guitarist. Even playing other style of music. Jazz is very effective to learn.
Thank you, sir - this is awesome stuff. I was going to try to tab out that funk riff (as a memory aid) but realized it would take about 12 years. Lol. I’ll just take what I can and be grateful.
If you learn proper things then you can lift any notes easier!

@@TomoFujitaMusic I already have it, it's great!
Y'all takin' us to Funk City, Fujita-san! I love blues and flamenco, but after hearing this, I'll think I'd rather start over with a focus on funk. This makes me want to get up and dance, and I think will be the basis of my reintroduction to guitar. If it ain't got that swing, it don't mean a thing! Thanks for sharing! Chiba-ken Home Girl

Instead of a metronome, I have a multi effects pedal (ZOOM G1X FOUR) which has dozens of preprogrammed rhythm tracks using real drums, in every style including Jazz, Blues, Country, Funk, and so forth. Of course it also can do just plain metronome. I find I don’t play as well with a metronome, that it’s distracting, but with these drum loops I play much better because it has the feel of the styles of music I’m playing or practicing.
Yes, I can do that

Hey Tomo! Question about your routine... diet and exercise routine that is 😂 How are you able to stay thin during the pandemic? I've gained 10 pounds since it all started 🤦🏻♂️ Much love and thank you for your lessons and GW!
That's very important! Sleep well! Eat well! But don't eat too full! No snacks!
I do a lot of exercises, stretching, workout! Thank you so much!! Thanks for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom!!
@@TomoFujitaMusic I'll keep that in mind! Thank you 🙏🏻
I love that there’s no editing!
Thank you! I just press twice!
I love a J-45 sound and scale length and feel. Just wish I could afford one. Does anyone feel like the new epiphone J-45 captures the same vibe?
Thank you!! Great guitar!
Hi Tomo, your videos here are so helpful. This rhythm lesson is excellent. I have always struggled with rhythm, especially the timing aspect. So that, along with chord melody and smooth seemless transition between chords... both the chords themselves and the lead playing. Getting a better handle on those things is my goal for 2021. Thank you for all that you do!
So great to hear that! More detail video lessons at my Guitar Wisdom! You're welcome!!
I like your vide. Are you teaching online? I really like to learn the guitar sir.

Thanks, Tomo. Do you think it's better practicing with the metronome set up at half speed so the clicks hit at 2 and 4? Why?
You're welcome! Let's say you are playing with a metronome at 120 per beat. Then 60 at 2&4... more room you get, you can play many different feel. Many reasons but you don't need to do anything if you are not into!
All choices.
@@TomoFujitaMusic Thank you. I kind of understand, let's say it's about timing but being free to swing or funk :D
For slow tempo, it’s good to practice metronome on every beat (50-80)
@@TomoFujitaMusic Thanks!!!
Tomo, what is the brand/model of the metronome you showed on your video?
Frantz
A lot of times when I try to come up with song ideas I play the same chord progressions and melodies, how can I come up with ideas outside of what I would normally play? Thank you

I was wondering one thing. I can play certain licks 150 bpm 16th notes, never went past that point. What is the fastest way to increase speed for learning new patterns or licks? I have experimented with 100 bpm metronome at first, so extremely slowly and perfectly. Within few days I could play 100 bpm 8th notes and the speed would come actually pretty fast. Is there a better way or more efficient way to increase speed?
Play it slow with more details and less pressure to use!
hey mr.Tomo,
you're the real one out here. I truly love your work from the core of my heart. Thanks for being there and thanks for making this world a better place. Since you're a teacher at berklee and a musician i'd like to ask you..what is it like? Is the struggle as bad?
I recently started playing guitar and i'll be 16 soon. I want to be a musician and live my life delving into the depths of music. I know it's a really hard and tough life but i'm ready for the struggle. It would be of great help if you could suggest as to how i can make it big in this field? also my goal right now is to get into berklee. I've subscribed to your guitar wisdom lessons. How much should i practice? What should i do to get in? and is it possible to get in after only practicing for 2 years? I know these are a lot of questions but if you can be so kind to answer them it can change my life. Thank you!
Thanks so much!! Please join my Guitar Wisdom for learning proper guitar skills.
I have a drum loop app on my phone. Is it better to use a metronome for practicing technique, or is the drums loops just as good?
Simple is best! Metronome you can work on more!
I think the last part is the one he played with a 1956 Fender Stratocaster
Which part are you talking about?
@@TomoFujitaMusic The one that has nothing to do with the lesson
@@callarobertgabrielb.7672 Thank you!!
Kinda off topic but how is that office chair? It looks like the arms don't get in the way of playing.
You can take those arms off!!

フレーズを上手く組み合わせる方法などありますか？
ありがとうございます！これはまずジャズを聴かないと何にも出てこないです。次にコードに興味を持つと効果的ですね。Guitar Wisdomの購読をお勧めします
