I dream to school there because TOMO FUJITA

[@denisplesa]

This video makes me want to start practicing again after playing for the past 4 hours.

[@dq72491]

Ugh so many talented players. I need to practice more

[@jessedameron7985]

I love that Berklee is so modernized and not just teaching classical guitar.

[@jay2xtremefy]

Its a community. Its not a competition, its love.

[@benaaronmusic]

Let's go prank the bass department.

[@benmarino1913]

I was there 2001 to 2002. Majored in Piano Performance and Composition. Learned so much in those years.

[@Tatted-ne7tu]

I remember in the 80’s as a teen and player GIT was always a dream of mine. Still to this day I’d love to attend a place like this.

[@Dark83Noodle]

I just wanna learn Smoke on the water.

[@Luxdg]

If only i was born in USA.....Berklee was a sort of a legend for me when i was a child and i had no idea of what's going on to the other side of the globe.

[@ravennaslim]

Larry Baione was my guitar teacher at Berklee. He had a Rocky Balboa poster in his room. We were so busy being at school when that movie came out that I never got to see it. I asked Larry if Rocky won the fight. He wouldn't tell me. He was a perfect teacher for me. I think he shared a name with a guy the mafia was after. I am Michael A. Delaney. I shared a name with another student at school who had a different middle initial...R Got my diploma handed to me by Mr. L. Berk. It was a great experience and I am forever grateful for attending.

[@JICM25]

Music is Win

[@545parsa]

Junior in high school as of this moment, planning on applying next year for jazz studies. Preparation started a long time ago and won't stop until I send them my performance

[@anilrai9049]

Wish I was also a part Berklee. Such amazing music teachers would have got the opportunity to learn music more deeply. 🤘

[@itslegendarytiger6924]

It's so cool! I want to get to Berklee one day. I play Guitar, and i really want to get as good as i can at guitar. Also i want to play guitar for living in some way. It would be so nice if i would get there one day! Greetings from Germany :)

[@ELeviathan33]

Woah! Kim Perlak, she used to teach me at ACC back in Austin! :D Awesome teacher!

[@minimoogle3335]

that math rock sounding riff at the end tho.. freaking awesome

[@sheldoncooper8199]

Guthrie Govan should be a teacher at Berklee for a year that would blow my mind.

[@fromthefringe4486]

Emmanuel Dokun Oke and me are on the same page about the drive that holds you as a musician. Doesn't matter what level you are, there will always be the next level to conquer.

[@michaelczesnozki1671]

Man, to get in here would be something else. I'd love to join once I finish high school.

[@vincentj-h9679]

you could have just said that there is Tomo teaching there, ITS ENOUGH FOR ME

[@drsncsyjump4874]

2:07 what was that?

[@smooth_jazz_escola]

My goal is to study in graduate school in that department, after graduating in MPB / JAZZ guitar at the Conservatoire of Tatuí, here in Brazil.

[@SeanHolifield37]

Wish I had gone here when I had the chance years ago!

[@360.Tapestry]

honestly, if i was a multi millionaire, i'd spend the rest of my life getting degrees in art, psychology, and music - every so often putting out a recording, piece of art, or collaborative work and then going back to learning more and being around other curious, creative, and ambitious people - learning every rule just so i could break them

[@Brittow]

1:01 David Gilmore.. Really?

[@SuperWeedPower]

wow

[@bigbossdeleon]

I've always been in love with guitar but had to stop due to frustration. I have hyperhidrosis, an illness which has something to do with excessive sweating. I was really frustrated that I threw away my dreams of becoming a professional guitarist. I saw this and I felt the spark again. I guess I will just have to deal with it. lol

[@hartleyshandcrafted]

this is so berklee its unbelievable

[@cuauhtemocmorisco3493]

I'd live and breathe in their classrooms just to copy what their playing!!!! but I'm far from being able to go their😭😭 so I just buy books wherever I can sometimes down by my local guitar center ughhh I'd give anything to study note for note, technical skills, composition, phrasing, anything!!!!!!

[@starman69]

I’m to old to go to college so seeing this bums me out a little. I can’t justify stopping my life and moving across the country for this. It’s not like I have kids but this is something at this stage in life that would be very difficult to achieve if not impossible.

[@jo18ist]

I am going to a music college, I investigated and they have only a Jazz major when it comes to Electric guitar, I like jazz, I love the way it sounds and I've tried playing and it is fun, but I've never been exposed to the jazz world, I am a little confused and I feel a bit scared of this path. I need some advice. 😅

[@kibavlood5826]

My dream to join this place..

[@Berklee]

+kiba vlood Thank you for watching. Are you a guitarist? Which styles do you play?

[@kibavlood5826]

I have already sent a mail to the college about its curriculum and pricing details, not to mention the admission of foreign students. Yup i am, I love all styles of music but have a soft corner for Metal and Jazz ( not to mention fusion ) Thank you for your patience,

[@Berklee]
