I enjoyed hearing the stories behind your guitars.

Doo be doo wop wop say hey what yeah.

🤣 Why is this so accurate

You're awesome! I enjoy watching these videos when I have time. When I first started playing a long time ago, I used the whistling technique. Even today. If I'm listening to another artist and I like the song, I'll whistle to it, but with my own unique phrases or lines to it over the melody and beat. No rules. Part of the whistling is part of my voice. So if there is certain phrases or habits that I do without much thought and whistle to, the song conforms to my style and to what I like. I'm concerned about preserving my voice and own identity when it comes to playing any instrument. It's a fingerprint to my work. Some people speak with a foreign accent, others have a southern accent and others have a northern accent. We all are communicating with our voice, but with some slight variation to deliver the message. Whistling over music with not much thought, will let your internal voice shine from within. Another tip is to record your whistles over melodies, then you can go back to them and retrieve what your inner voice was saying and transfer them over to the guitar.

Great lesson. Thank you, Tomo.

Tomo Making those beautiful tones , Really making it Cry and sing with a Chooo Choooo World Class tomo your genuine love for it can not be replicated your a blessing Sir Have a Great Day !

thank you so much tomo. this made me smile today. i hope you feel this way every day!

That’s Gentle Steps.

My favorite teacher. I just found you this week. Thank you.

Tomo is easily one of the best rhythm guitarist in the world, dude is absolutely AWESOME!!! I’m definitely gonna study him to learn how to get into rhythm playing!

Bravo The Maestro! it's very strong and brave spread voicing!

More like T-bone Walker than SRV.

Hi Tomo , your kind energy and enthusiasm for music is part of why I enjoy your guitar playing ! You’re an amazing guitarist . The message you spread of positivity and to help others and be kind to yourself is something we all need to hear . Some people in the music industry focus on becoming the “best musician” or making a lot of money . But I believe that beautiful music comes from your heart . It’s important to keep positive and always believe in yourself! Of course we all need to practice , but without a positive mindset it might be hard to play guitar every day . Thank you Tomo !! You’re awesome :)

Mean Streets technique

Whats your amp settings Mr Fujita?

Mr Tomo, can you play metal??? 😅

Thank you for sharing!! ❤️

What a wonderful lesson! From the opening comments on life to lessons on melody, what's not to love?!

Hi Tomo, there are 3 main chords in the rhythm pattern, which you play twice, the 2 minor chords and the slash chord. The 1st time you play 4 passing chords, then you repeat the same minor chords and slash chord, and add 6 chords rapidly before ending on the minor chord you started with...lol So I will say, (not counting the repeating chords) 16, I counted the rhythm of what was played and listened to the chords as you played them. Now I have to decide the voicings of the rapid 6 you played...lol

Tomo’s book and videos are the best resource that really train my ears, I have a lot of courses but they ignore the basics. I love how practicing shell chords and rhythm guitar, triads really allow me hear the chord change and play the melody. And I play much cleaner than I used to. Just trust Tomo, do the basic things everyday, 1-2 years your musicality will greatly improve.

Would you be able to play Himiko Kikuchi - Fluffy on guitar?

I always discover keeping slow tempi accurately is one of the hardest things. As always a challenging lesson.

hi tomo! what were chords for this song?

Do you think Matteo Mancuso is an exceptional guitar player? The reason i ask is, ever since after seeing him play, for me, i feel like no other guitar player compares to his vast amount of knowledge in music and style of playing 😇! Am i wrong? Thank you. Keep on rockin' 👍🎸

I’ve tried that amp and it’s beautiful. Mark Bartel is an acquaintance of mine and he’s an amazing person. He has made an amazing contribution to music.

All the chords.

❤ it.. love the philosophy..

Let's face it Tomo . . . The REAL tone comes from the Amp, not the guitar . . . What Amp are you using? That will tell the story. You must admit there is little, if any difference between an old Gibson 335 and an Epiphone Sheridan . . . . eh?

Sooo cool! I'm going to learn this tomorrow😁🙏

Beautiful voice leadings 💯😀

Saving this. 💾

You must have been to concerts i went to.. like pat matheny..

it's inspiring.. thanks..

i use to go to Berkeley around the same time as you.. Did you know Michael Andrew Frank.. lol.. he liked Michael Hedges

I wish somebody would teach Mayer about Jerry Garcia.

Excellent lesson….lovely guitar! 👍🍷

5? With the mute.

I aspire to be you dude. Your playing and chords are so beautiful

This plus the dotted eight delay

Idk like 1

7

12?

Thank you, Tomo Sensei! Triads are VERY, VERY useful. Once you learn them all over the fretboard, you'll know exactly where the scales/arps you need are: 1) Add the 7th to get 7th arpeggios. 2) Add the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 7th to get the complete diatonic scale. 3) Add bass note for easier ways to play more sophisticated chords: Bb triad over C: Bass: C note + triad: Bb D F = C Bb D F / R b7 9 11 = C9sus 4) Superimpose triads you know to get upper tension/extensions, for altered dominant sound, like this: (Example: Eb triad over G7 chord (G B D F) + Eb=b13 G=R Bb=#9 you get a G7#9b13, which is an altered dominant scale sound (7th mode of melodic minor). This means you can just play the triad to get that altered sound.

Groovy

You're Amazing Tomo Never stop ! Have a great Day sir

What a great review and fantastic playing. The guitar sounds great. Need to check it out now. :). Wish it had a in built tuner but that's a minor gripe.

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍👍

3 chord shapes and 5 individual chords?
