So happy to hear that! Thank you so much!

I play blues/rock/fusion and I use this technique a lot. Sounds great with gain. That guitar sounds great! Very much Fender sounds. Thank you, Tomo! Great lesson for all guitarists!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! I love this guitar so much! You're very welcome!

[@johnnylayton1672]

Your bending intonation in combination with your clean technique is inspiring! I am actually led to recall not a country song but instead Edwards' & Rodgers' song Real People in listening closely to you here.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that! I love using bending technique!

[@Tanglangfa]

One way country differs from blues is that sometimes the bend is cut short, eg bend is a staccato eighth note instead of a quarter note and then “resume” with the release of the bend back to the original note. Or even start at the top of the bend without bending up at all (the bend up is silent). On a tele through a Vox! Thank you for this awesome video!

Great post Tomo!!! Have a great weekend! 😎👍

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! Have a great weekend!

I either use a pick or just my fingers. Hybrid picking still a struggle....as is bending a whole step or more. Practice, practice, practice....it's how you get to Carnegie Hall. ☺ Question: isn't it harder to intonate a 3 saddle bridge than a 6 saddle since 2 strings share the same saddle ?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! You can practice! Practice only bending part slowly. Not at all!

[@dananthony6258]

My tele needed a neck adjustment so bad yesterday. The summer humidity is changing all my guitars 😞.

トモさんは普段弾き終わったギターの弦は緩めていますでしょうか。それともそのままでしょうか。良ければ教えてください。

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

飛行機乗っても緩めないです！全然大丈夫です！

Which model of Trevor wilkinson bridge is that ? Can’t find it on the website. Share a link por favor

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Not this one. I am a good friend with Trev Wilkinson so he is creating new one for me.

[@Nobox-eg7qu]

lesson on country 6th licks?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

That's easy! Great lick for R & B too!

[@Nobox-eg7qu]

@@TomoFujitaMusic I look forward to it!! I’m confused by this for some reason…

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

@@Nobox-eg7qu When you don't get it, then simply you need some foundation before this one. For example mastering triads & intervals NO shapes! No visually understanding...

Where are the Nashville cats?

Anywhere!

If you are strong, you play it acoustic.
