Hi tomo, your videos mean so much to me as I’m currently preparing for my Berklee audition for which I was planning to perform your song just funky. Thank you so much!!!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Great! You're very welcome! Thank you!

[@nacho_d.l.p1877]

@@TomoFujitaMusic Thanks again tomo! This might sound crazy but I would really like to know what you think about the possibility of merging or combining funk with salsa music which is very popular here in Colombia. Do you think that is possible?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Amazing chops Tomo . It’s rare to find players who exhibit equal control over left and right hands and i am sure your work is inspiring many more than just I ! Rock on (or is it Funk on? )

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! I practice R37 Swing with a metronome everyday! That work will make this funk!

[@AdamJohnson-di7co]

Been learning this on Organ ! This was so helpful and wonderful to see you ! Thank you so much !

Thank you so much for this amazing song, Tomo. It’s really one of a kind, and one of my favorites ever :) By the way Tomo, I haven’t heard you talk about Eric Clapton yet, although there’s a picture of him on your wall, what do you think of him? And have you tried the Clapton Artist Series Fender guitar with the 25db MidBoost? I’m sorry for my many questions, I have long been wondering :)

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! Thank you so much! I love Clapton so much!

I showed it very slow and clear... but I don't think a lot of people watched this (?)

It must be hard to watch someone else play your song and get the notes wrong - I guess it's the price of success. Great song and thank you for another great lesson!

Do you know the guitarist called Rodney Jones who used to play with Dizzy Gillespie in the ‘70s? Some of your funky guitar work reminds me of his playing. 👍🏽
