[@katsunori.bb.kawai.6633]

Thank you Mr.Fujita. Good swing (groove)lesson. (B.B King played, “Blue Monk”and “Every day I have the bluse”.) Thank you again.🙏

You're very welcome! Thank you so much!

Swing is a very interesting, if challenging concept for sure! Always appreciate these to get the momentum going.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

I love this exercise! I do this everyday!

[@RC32Smiths01]

The best exercises are the ones where you can practice but also make it fun, like displayed here! Cheers@@TomoFujitaMusic

Domo Arigato Fujita Sensei! I’ve found very few lessons that focus on the right hand and it is so important so this is very helpful!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! Thank you so much! Very important one!

[@srisidvicious]

Thank you - very interesting use of slow rhythm

Hi! Good lesson and nice fonts on preview picture!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@2xMegaLoco]

thank YOU for lesson! R 3 7 - theres something magic in "thirds" or "triangles" in music, power trios, or for example triads from past videos. i wonder why.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! Thank you for sharing! Fun!

I developed callous OB the outside of my pinky from forcing myself to finger the 6th-string-root 7th chord like Tomo does. I notice Tyler does it the other way when he interviewed Tomo though. I almost changed…almost.. but didn’t.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing. I suggest this way... then up to each person!

[@ricfaust21]

@@TomoFujitaMusic I will continue. Learn the hard way first. Just need time for pinky to get used to it. Muscle memory for this shape

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

@@ricfaust21 Thank you! Please take your time! No memorization & no muscle memory! Music is ALIVE!

[@ricfaust21]

@@TomoFujitaMusic and also No Tabs 😊 Thank you Fujita sensei

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

@@ricfaust21 I don't use tab but I use this way... DbMaj7 = 9 X 10 10 9 X = R X M7 M3 5 X ... this way you can learn with music theory & ear training.

[@FronzSchornack]

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing! definitely important to learn this lesson, it almost sounds a bit like Reggae with the up stroke being as important as the down stroke, "maybe I'm wrong" but definitely takes some practicing, root third and seventh I'll remember that! thanks so much for sharing this lesson with all of us.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! This is one of most important things! Thank you!

Thank you for the video Tomo!✌🏻

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome!

[@GLVincent]

Thank you for this lesson! I have watched a few of your R-3-7 swing videos and this one is very helpful. For the 2nd chord, are you muting strings 1 and 2 with your first finger? When I try to do that, my 2nd finger is not straight enough and it touches the 4th string and mutes it a little. Is that normal?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You’re very welcome! Glad to hear that. Take your time figure out how to mute well.

[@Mattskito529]

I have a hard time hearing the metronome as the snare on 2 and 4 for some reason.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

That's so normal. Do it everyday so someday... you will get it.

[@Roger-po3kc]

Yeah

[@ricfaust21]

I want to try listening to this R-3-7 swing before I go to sleep so it gets into my subconscious… just because 😅

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Good job! Longer!

[@GuerreroGamez]

Make a R 3 7 playlist and fall asleep to it. Sounds like a sweet idea!

[@ricfaust21]

@@GuerreroGamez I McGuyvered a clip together and made it repeat …and now I’m missing my Right AirPod cause it fell out sometime after I fell asleep 😂

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Great one!

[@sven5216]

Hi Tomo, may I ask a question? I'm one of your guitar wisdom students, currently going through your chords foundation section and learning drop 2 chords. You emphasize that playing them on the top 4 (highest) strings is useful, but on the two lower strings not so much as the sound is more distinguishable in the higher tones. Do you recommend also knowing drop 2 chords on the lower e and a strings or no? Just for more complete knowledge and musician's ability? Many thanks!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Please ask this at the forum so we all can write back to you! Thank you so much! Don't worry that much on 5432 set. 1234 sets are more useful and use it more with other voicings then more musical!

[@sven5216]

​@@TomoFujitaMusicthanks Tomo :) I will ask this question on the forum as well. I get why you say this about 1234 string sets - it's like with triads, you can create more of a voice with the high tones

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

@@sven5216 Thank you! Looking forward to that.

[@aaronyi2750]

It's so complicated, it would be great if there is a score 😁

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

No need to have score! Need to understand them slowly... first 43 seconds... only two types of chords! 6 X 6 7 X X = R X b7 M3 X X ... if you don't know about b7 or M3 You can learn basic theory & ear training to be able to hear those.

Thank you for sharing!

[@Maidenless007]

This is a really good lesson but it's also really depressing because it goes to show how s*** I really am at guitar even after a year of daily practice 😔

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Don't worry! I was there...everyone was there! Great way to know exactly what's missing! Then you can fill in and you can go higher! Thank you so much!
