Absolute pleasure to listen to this....

Aaaaahhh ha moment ...so like When Albert King goes from E to A and Stevie Ray doesn't miss a bea. its just one fret over, then go back to E..Hmmm. Master Teacher

Perfect opening tempo....

Thankk you for guitar wisdom professor Snape ❤

Keep doing what you do! 🤲

Beautiful guitar and melody! Have a great day 🎸

Good Teacher. Lot more than just a guitar lesson. Much like a good football coach who can teach you the game. But can show you how the game can teach you many life lessons. 👍

Is it a song or simply chords progression?

"You use the tuner and it says "in tune." And you play and it sounds terrible. That's why we need a lot of pedals." 😂😂😂❤

You said your playing was getting sloppy. And you immediately went back to a basic bassline. Did you do that to get your rhythm back? ❤

I have a Duo in my collection. I bought it as a goof thinking it was more of a Fender toy. But when I plugged it in I heard some of the best tones ever. Since buying it I also came across a Fender Marauder that I picked up immediately because I heard they were rare. It was hardtailed because the trem was blocked, but the Marauder is also killer in sound . Both are now permanent members of my collection.

Practicing different keys and emphasis on playing the triads first to hear harmony and slowly adding in phrasing is a helpful approach. Also find when you demonstrate fully to be helpful.

What plectrums are you using ?

I've been trying to figure out how to link triads with chord progressions like this. Perfect lesson. Nice plug for Homeskoolin' with Tom, too. You guys have a similar style. The conversational approach feels personal, like a window into a trained guitarist's mind. Invaluable. I only let a few youtube teachers in my head, but you guys are welcome anytime. Bring beer.

Love your guitar strap

Tomo ciao. You are a great teacher. Thanks so much for sharing the knowledge. The little " bass cromatic trick" you are using on the VI string while moving from G7 -> Cm7 is eye opening ;-). And moreover explains why you have choosen that voicing of Cm7. There is always something I can learn from your passion. GRAZIE MILLE !

Thank you maestro! Thank you Sammi! Thank you George! Thank you maestro’s wife! All of you have made a positive difference in my life! I tell my daughters (10&5) the same - “give yourself a hug!”. :) 🫀🙏🏾🌊

Thank you maestro! :) 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

These videos have helped me progress more in a few months than I had over decades. The acoustic blues lessons and triad lessons + chromatic scales are on my practice playlist. I keep going over them. It’s made a difference in my understanding of the guitar. Tomo is the best.

I have a question Mr. Fujita, I noticed that you always talk about one-note-per-string triads. But you never speak about two-note-per-string arpeggios? Why? Do you ever practice arpeggios apart from triads?

Always an enjoyable time - hanging with Tomo👏😁

Awesome Tomo and band! 11:19 min. Of sheer magic.thank you!!!!!!

I think what you are trying to convey is to move from noodling over a scale mapping of the fretboard and play the chord changes using the triads to map the fretboard. The added benefit of not sounding like you are playing a scale.

Me in the corner playing bullet for my valentine and dying wish 💀

That’s it, putting down the phone and picking up the guitar. Thanks as always, Tomo 🫡

Triads and diads = ❤

Great instruction as always.

What is that piece of music at the beginning?

Thank you Tomo! You’re a special teacher with more than just guitar knowledge! Thank you so much I am forever grateful!

Great lesson! Can you provide again the name and model of the solid state amp and cabinet that you use in your videos? I love tube amps too but they are such a hassle to maintain. Thanks!

Reminds me of a Pat Metheny tune “Spiritual” on the Missouri Sky lp. This instructional effort is greatly appreciated. I’m an old retired guy that is getting back into guitar and music after 35 years of work. The peace I get from this is wonderful, thank you Tomo.

Tomo is such a humble man, but he has been telling us "learn triads" long before anyone I know.

In a certain manner, you're a sort of "treasure", Tomo. Like Japan have made this for all the masters of arts who are in charge to transmit their knowledge... You just decid yourself to transmit your musical knowledge, and we are all here, attempting to receive your teaching. Even it's hard for many off us. You're a peacefull and efficient teacher. Thank you for all those shares.

Thank you Tomo. I appreciate these lessons so much. Kurt here in Seattle. I've got the blues. I had to put my kitty, my best little buddy, Corkscrew (Corker), to sleep last week. I didn't even know he was sick at Christmas. I've been in a blue haze, but I'm starting to feel like practicing again after watching this video. Please give big hugs and treats and love to Max and Dexter. We are so lucky to have our little friends and our family. I'm so happy to have been a Guitar Wisdom subscriber for the past 3 years. You and George and Sammi just keep improving the Guitar Wisdom platform. Thanks again for all you do to help us be better musicians and people. I appreciate having you for a teacher and friend.

I really enjoy content about chord progressions. Because guitar players often ignore learning new chord progressions. And they are so important for effective improvising. I was getting bored of doing my 1111 ,4411 ,5411. Thank you for the video, sir.

I’m triad ing to take it to the next level! Thanks, great lesson!

Happy New Year Mr. Tomo! Thank you for your good video! I always remind teacher's advice. Don't worry, Don't compare, Don't expect too fast, Be kind to yourself because you're special! In 2025 always have a good things and fortune for you teacher Tomo! I'm sorry for my english! 今年もよろしくお願いします。いつも応援しています！トモ先生！！

Triads are king. They deepen your knowledge of the guitar, show you how to build chords and where they are located across the neck and will have a surprising effect on your playing and understanding, even though you cant visualise it at the time while you practice them. Big thank you to Tomo for opening my eyes!

great video tommo, do you think you could do a video on different inversions and substitutions used to vamp over blues i think it would be helpful for a solo player improvising without a backing track

Thank you Tomo for your kind words. So much more than guitar teaching❤

And, yes, more triads. Cannot get enough about triads. So good! Thank you.

Thank you, Tomo, Another excellent and very helpful lesson. You are an amazing teacher and person. Please continue to be yourself. Besides your great teaching ability and skill as a guitar player, I know I watch and listen to your videos on KZbin, and joined Guitar Wisdom also because of your wonderful personality. Who you are. Very enjoyable. Fun. Interesting. Do not change this. Please continue to be yourself. Real. I know I will always watch and listen to whatever you are doing, saying, and playing. From my watching your videos and joining Guitar Wisdom I have slowly become a better player. I know better than if I had not found your KZbin videos and joined Guitar Wisdom. Please be yourself. It's one of the reasons I continue to watch and listen. Take as long as you want or need. Relax. Don't compare. Be kind to yourself. Have fun. You make us better guitar players. I know you make me smile and laugh at times. It's so good. Do not change Do not worry. And thank you, so much, Tomo, for all that you do and it shows how much you care and love teaching, love guitar, and that you're a good person. Thank you.

Thank u Tomo❤

Thank you so much. Verry helpfull. I learned guitar backwards. Now i try to understand. You are the best.👍

Thanks Tomo! I really appreciate the lessons and discussion about triads. They have helped me so much to understand the fretboard and to encourage me to use the entire length of the guitar.

Just a retired guy and banjo player. These videos always make me smile. Triads are the best!

Check out the group Peela, the set of fancy Berklee chords you were using as an example, they have an entire song based around exactly those chords. It's a pretty good band.

Thanks Tomo. You're really a good guitar teacher. Everything is in detail. So, your lesson is a great guide for me to learn more in playing guitar.

Happy New Year Tomo. I haven’t commented for a while but I haven’t missed a video. Your content is great as always and I’m considering Guitar Wisdom. I need something to get over a plateau I’m stuck in. My resolution for 2025 is to get beyond this place to another level. I know I can be better, but I need a push and I connect with your peacefulness. I look forward to working together on my goals but I don’t expect too fast. 😅
