Isn't She Lovely guitar and sax duet - Tomo Fujita and James Calandrella NAMM 2014

Tomo Fujita and James Calandrella perform Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely" at the Eminence Speaker booth during the 2014 Winter NAMM show in Anaheim California. Friends from Boston, these two have never performed one on one like this. Amazing talent. Tomo is playing his '92 Fender SRV signature Strat with Grinning Dog Funkmaster pickups, through his signature Two Rock head and a 2x12 loaded with EJ1250's.

The only time 2 men stares into each other’s soul for 5 min straight and not feel awkward 😂😂 love these guys

[@XLBiker13]

Tomo is one of those very rare players who leaves me more blown away by power and importance of great rhythm playing over lead. His playing is the definition of "in the pocket" and his strum patterns are flawless and effortless. He's also a human metronome with his spot on percussive timing.

[@julkitan3017]

As a guitar player myself, Tomo is so inpiring !

[@tond3244]

If you're asking for the exact chord shapes he's using, I'm not sure. But the basic chord progression is C# minor 7, F7, Bsus4, E (repeated twice), then A Major 7, G# 7, C# minor 7, F7, F minor 7, Bsus4, E, and then back to the top. Sorry if that wasn't what you were asking for.

[@jtbsax]

Ellis K. Except turn all those F's into F#'s.

[@tond3244]

Good catch

[@jaysteels]

It's pretty much just a 6-2(major)-5-1 progression

[@chomby3]

Seb Adams Cmaj7/F#7/some sort of B/Emaj7. Cmaj7/F#7/some sort of B/Emaj7/Amaj7/G#7?/Cmaj7/F#7/some sort of B/some sort of B/E LICK. and repeat
