@@TomoFujitaMusic Hey Tomo Fujita I've been subscribed on guitar wisdom for 3 months. You really are the world's greatest guitar teacher. You are a hero! Thank you :)

[@bluesman97]

Tomo has a wonderful ear.. Has the feel and plays what he likes.. every guitar players dream.

Your notes are just perfect and Not rushed that's why I love your playing. Its like you don't try and put a million notes in the space you just pick the right ones to convey your feeling!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@francescodeluca9300]

Tomo's playing, as always, is outstanding; Yoshiaki's solo too, is mesmerizing

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@Bahjatalsabeh]

nothing feels right in my life but this music heals any scar.. ty mister Fujita

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you!

[@uzumaki.a9809]

and that's how you made me cry the emotions behind those notes... im just speechles love u

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you!!

[@Kostas1601]

So hooked on this. Sounds like nostalgia... Hits right in the feels... Thanks Tomo!

[@willbohland3698]

This is an absolute standard. I'll never get enough. Do people know about this? Are people out there playing this? This is every bit as good as Misty and Autumn Leaves. I'm sorry. It's overwhelming. I'm overwhelmed. What a tune.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! Thank you! Thank you!

[@markhardwick7791]

Yes I do, i play against a lot of his stuff - very mindfull player, makes you think

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

First one is C-7... did you figure out some? Then how long did you spend? Before you try something, then not so good to get answers...because you want to improve your ear right?

[@iamandes4455]

That was a fantastic jam! Inspiration and goals right here. Thank you 😊🎸

[@KyLesCaster]

True. Its silly to ask for the chords / chord progression / key. First try to figure it out by ear so you train yourself to pick it up in real life situations

[@subramaniantr2091]

I figured Cm7, Fm, Fdim7, Eb...then while strumming...AbM7 because you're playing a G..then some mixed chord (Bb7 + G){don't know name} to Cm transition...(Eb7+C){don't know name, looks like similar transition as before} to Fm7 etc...I spent around 5-10 minutes for the mixed chords. The other chords came to my ears quite instantaneously. Can you tell the names of those? In solfege the mixed chords (Bb7+G) is like creating a tension pulling the note Re to the two chords it belongs to Te7 and Sol Major and it resolves the tension by moving to Do minor...same transition for Fa minor also appears.

[@kevinrh9143]

Played this in my college auditions two years ago, keep coming back to this video watching Mr Imahori's incredible improvisation that I still find flawless, as well as Tomo's unmatched touch and groove feel. Such inspiration 🙏

[@justanothernguyen2334]

Seriously. That scalar chordal tremolo run was fantastic.

[@All5for3All]

“Kyoto. I would love to visit You one day. Its been a dream of mine to go to You.” Self monologue are the side effects of this tune. A beautiful song sir Tomo 🙌🏻

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you!

[@setsumero]

I've been listening to it almost every day for many years now, and the quality of the songs, how the motifs are created, the performances, and the techniques are wonderful. I also like Mr. Imahori's solo, which makes good use of rests. Tomo Fujita's stroke is also wonderful! I never get tired of listening to it every day. It will be learning. Thank you Tomo Fujita!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Glad you enjoy it! So happy to hear that. Thanks so much!

[@SoundsLikeBlues]

what a tone i like its sooo smmoooottthh and warm i like i would bath in this sound if i could ;D

***** Thanks so much! I really enjoy my Two-Rock TF signature amp & String Driver 1-12 cabinet.

@@TomoFujitaMusic so no pedal？guitar straight to amp？

[@DessieTots]

I'm back in the 1970's wearing my brushed safari suit with the big lapels on my way down to the hotel restaurant and this is playing in the lift. I get out and breathe a sigh of relief. I check myself in the mirror and smile.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you!

[@ballballleung2061]

Totally love how all the notes are played for reasons, the whole solo is a collab of wonderful phrases...So much for me to learn in your playing, the rhythm, the chords and notes you chose, the bending and touching, etc. I love the phrases in 8:07 - 8:15, giving me a huge George Benson feeling. Thank you Tomo and Yoshiaki.
