Cory Wong Collab Story & My soloing approach on Gumshu is explained

Thanks for watching Cory Wong - Gumshu Ft. Tomo Fujita video and asking me about how our collaboration came and how to play solo over C7 A7 D7 G7 (1625 chord progressions) so I explained my soloing/improvisation approach on this song Gumshu. Let me know what your reaction on this reply video?

It was all crazy good. You are so gifted, but don’t worry I won’t compare. Thank you for all the great content.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that! Thank you so much! My pleasure!

[@imeverywhere3969]

"Gifted" is cheap word, no one is gifted but they practice like hell to get this good

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

@@imeverywhere3969 Personally I don't like people say.... "Gifted" easy to say it... simply I am not gifted. I am a normal person if I don't do any efforts then I will be nothing. but it's all about insanely amount of great efforts!

はい！

[@strumminronin]

That jam was really a surprise, thanks for sharing the back story, Tomo.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Glad you enjoyed it! My pleasure! Thank you!

[@Kenoodling]

Just looked for and saw the performance....Pure dynamite....

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! So much fun!

[@ZackKnight]

The “wrong note” was a powerful statement. It was a personal introduction to listeners. “Hello, I’m Tomo. Watch and learn.”

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

My first note was totally wrong...so that point... I need to feel it more!

[@ZackKnight]

@@TomoFujitaMusic I don’t know if my comment said it correctly- I loved the first note! I thought it was a masterful solo. I would not change the note- it got my attention- interesting!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

@@ZackKnight Thanks so much! Yes! Definitely that note got more attention!

[@murkyfluid7625]

The cory wong band is definitely amazing. The horn section in particular is fire.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Yes definitely! I love his horn section! Amazing!

[@astr0n1c]

Your explanations are so helpful!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Glad to hear that! Thank you so much!

[@fnbwski8610]

I'm a very lucky person. My top three favorite guitarists are Tomo Fujita, Tom Misch and Cory Wong. I discovered them independently but in the last 5 years they all came together and made songs in every possible combination. I believe if John Mayer was more active these days he would have joined this circle.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! So happy to hear that. I have been teaching Tom Misch vis Skype lessons. I really enjoy doing that. I love hanging with Cory Wong too! Yes!

[@tjames6427]

That guitar is sooo nice! Sky blue is my favorite color and Ibanez is 👌

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! I love this AZES31 Purist Blue

Your jazz-phrasing is crazy ! I love it !

Thank you!

Great to see your passion and love , love you two together 🎉❤

[@kaelwu7733]

waow! what a great story! We were literally talking about this potential collab couple of months ago! Seeing it happen so soon is just mesmerizing! 🤩

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you Kael! A few people suggested this to me. It just happened! Thank you so much!

[@Wileylikethehawk]

I loved the way the horn section was looking at you during your solo. They were super into it!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Yes! That was very cool! Thank you so much!

This made so special that day!

[@Jack.Waters]

@@TomoFujitaMusic always does. I’ve have such great remembrances also. They are wonderful treasures that few understand. Those of us that are willing to stop and Smell the 🌹.

[@gohjohan]

Thank you for explaining how you sat in for Cory and I definitely agree. The meeting was definitely meant to be. Also thank you for explaining the chords and triads that you play for that song. You make it seem so easy.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! That was really meant to be! I post a lot of things at Instagram but I don't look around social medias that much. But that morning I saw a few posts... then I learned that he was in TOKYO! Triads are so important!

[@kedaruimochi]

That's such a fun track! Something about it reminds me of the song Three Little Bears by Jimi Hendrix. They sound cartoonish and just so positive and fun to play

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! Fun!

[@dananthony6258]

The suspense I felt was so intense because I didn’t know what you were going to play and then when it finally happened I was so blow away. It was the mustard on the hotdog, the cheese on the pizza. Was so freaking perfect.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Definitely my intention was to play more "Space" and "Dynamics" I also played something with "That Moment" Thank you so much!

[@victorb6293]

Hi Tomo, this is a great story of how you came to play with Cory Wong - you were awesome on that stage. You had to re-pack things afterwards, but it was certainly worth it. Thanks for sharing the story and all of the music information relating to it - I learnt many things. Cheers.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much! 1pm on that day changed everything including looking for things I needed for this jam. Yes, definitely! You're very welcome!

[@annunacky4463]

I also saw the horn guys enjoying your jamming solos. Fun to watch you shine.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you! I love horn section and those guts!

[@mirkojovanovic3216]

Great video. And great story.

[@moreykanner4781]

Hey Brother Tomo! Thank you so much for such a great video and backstory. The gold nugget I took from it is leaving space between melodic ideas. Wonderful you sharing on your own self-analysis. Maybe a future video on using triad and scale tones together? You're the best!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for sharing!! So happy to hear! Give a lot of spaces! Yes! Thank you!

[@snuffelsuf]

i heard a interesting story about how the name Ibanez(a Spanish name) became famous Japan guitar

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing!

[@wenjacklow]

Would love to see you on stage with a Strandberg some day! Love the video, thanks for the explanation.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

That would be cool! Thank you so much!

[@EricJohnson-di5pi]

You’re an absolute legend I have a degree in classical composition and I still show people the TOMO triad god like Bach with counterpoint

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! Awesome! Triads are so good in any styles!

[@KazzarEngel]

was that the Flintstones theme lol! thanks for making this video Tomo! i love the behind the scenes stuff that goes into these collabs so this is all fascinating !!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Glad you enjoyed it! My pleasure! Thank you!

[@ricerice6011]

Thank you Tomo-sensei, this was an invaluable lesson. Two legends and masters of rythm guitar coming together was really good to see. I saw you were wearing a Bocchi shirt as well! Have you seen the anime? Would love to hear how you liked it if so and any of the songs from it in a future video. Thank you so much again

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Glad you enjoyed it! My pleasure! Yes! Thank you!

You smoked it good job

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you!

[@parkermarchant925]

I love that guitar! Could you please breakdown a song I really want to learn, Swallow by Casiopea? I want to learn it, but have no clue where to start. If not that’s ok, I will learn something no matter what video you make.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that. Thanks for sharing!

[@craigbachman5765]

I loved that solo. Mostly the beginning. The rest was great too.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much!

Get jam with Cory Tomo!🙏🙏🙏

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you!!

[@FronzSchornack]

Thanks again for sharing Tomo, I hope you we're O.K. after eating all the great Japanese food! especially Sushi and a little SAKE! I myself would go to Japan just for that! and for maybe some Salmon and Kobie beef or..... maybe a little bit to much SAKE! and of course a Karaoke Mic. to sing some of my favorite songs! We all need to practice our vocals from time to time! Thanks again!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

My pleasure! All good! I only eat plain yogurt & banana every morning plus 20-40 minutes walk, stretch, workout every morning while I was in Japan. Cold beer, cold sake... good stuff! Thank you!

[@Galaxyhopping]

Rufus? Also hear influences of Three Dog Night and Steely Dan in his music. Cool stage character and good horn section. Also early Pat Metheny.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! I love the Rufus & Chaka!

[@Galaxyhopping]

@@TomoFujitaMusic I still like the Ohio Players.

[@richielakes]

I thought the playing and the tone was amazing! Did you use your Klon for the solo?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! No. Other overdrive pedal.

Mr Fujita, what is the meaning behind the tape you put on your neck pickup?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

This way I get more attention from people!

[@fnbwski8610]

I have a video request/idea for you, it will be a rather long comment so I don't expect you to read all of it, but I will still send it! I am guessing that many of your subscribers are intermediate guitar players who have other professional careers. I think it would be cool if you can make a video like "How and what would I practice if I wasn't a professional guitarist". The idea is if what would you do if the only thing you could play was standart barre chords and pentatonic scale but you only had 20-30 minutes a day to practice. What kind of a routine you would have in that situation? I think that would be really valuable information for people like me and there are videos like this but not so many people talk about a roadmap or routine. For example right now i am good at triads in the top three strings but not in the other string sets. So I started practicing that. But I also love your videos on arpeggios, spread triads and swing rhytm. Since i have limited time to practice I need to make a decision between learning basic triads perfectly or jumping to arpeggios, spread triads or swing rhytm. When that happens I try to combine all of them into my routine but I have two problems. First, it gets really complicated what to practice. Second, it feels like im wasting my time. Because when i divide my practice time to 4 or 5 different things, I can only practice each skill for 5 minutes. I feel like could have played only basic triads for 20 minutes and maybe that would be better... Would it be better though? I have no idea...

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much for sharing. I read it all. Great idea! Foundation! Practice Routine! So happy to hear that. Very important to not memorize anything. Understand them super slowly and learn them. Nothing is perfect but you need to stay on simple triads for a long time so that you gain your road map on the fretboard! Thank you so much! I teach all the detail lessons at my Guitar Wisdom if you want to learn guitar in depths.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Triad arpeggios & 7th arpeggios are great too. You can add these beside your triad study. Chromatic scale, R 3 7 Swing groove... these items are so important too.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]
