[@dante3056]

I love Tomo! But in real life i'm a guitar teacher (Learned the old school style before internet) and some times there's a new generation of guys who needs over explanation and tabs for absolutely everything, it seems like a generational way of this era of super information, most of the things i learned was from the records and from fellow musicians who play with me over the years, maybe i tried several years to explain in a detailed way something i could play without thinking long time ago. When i became a teacher kind of wrap a lot of knowledge myself on what i was doing. Glad you can apreciate this way of teach and this is the most voted coment too!! I think that i was starting to stay alone in this idea. (Sorry my english)

[@DUDESTUNESANDBREWS]

Dude. As a bass player I figured out triads to help me walk around. As a lead guitarist, I never considered the triads on the first 3 strings to help me solo. Best advice I've heard. Thank you.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

That's awesome! Thank you!

[@VexylObby]

So what I found to be the "5 Tips" from this vid were: -Make a more patient decision on what to play. (Don't just play B minor pentatonic scale, play B minor pentatonic SOUND) -Play your instrument with respect. No need to play it HARD and loud all of the time. Spice tastes better when mixed with other things! -Shapes should be known. Try to locate multiple voicings and locations of triads, for example. Then your playing is easily more about notes than scales. -What are you thinking?! Think about things that can distract you while you can still play. Food is a great thing to think about! (Side note: I think its always fun to associate flavors with sounds we can make, so try to cook up some riffs!) -? Try to repeat licks over chord progressions. Applying similar shapes to the progression will add familiarity of the same movements, but variance because of the shape moving through the scale.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! More detail lessons are at my Guitar Wisdom.

[@Sam-Oht]

Yes and a good way to know where to go and what is possible on chord progressions, before going creative with solo is also to see the connections between the chords, this make the difference, and a way to practice it is to endlessly arpeggiate the chord progression and try to spot where it resolves with one or two steps between a triad note and the next chord triad

[@nuthinbutlove]

You are the first person I've heard suggest not visualizing pentatonic shape, but hearing pentatonic sound. It's so refreshing to hear it suggested sonically instead of visually. There's absolutely nothing wrong with visual referral when you're just beginning, but there comes a point where you have to start trusting your ears and allow them to lead you outside of your comfort zone. It's okay to make mistakes along the way. Mistakes bring growth.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for sharing! Very easy to teach & learn pentatonic visually! Then anyone happy 100% of their playing? Thank you!

[@woofcity6307]

I wish there was a major school of guitar instruction that didn’t involve playing across all six strings in these visualizations at all but I think it’s our society where people want quick results and they want a system and when you do that people thinking gets very rigid and they’re stuck in the system. I’m actually glad I learned how to play guitar guitar before the Internet! All we had was cassette tapes and frustration! But you couldn’t just get tabs for everything

[@shangcowmoosic1993]

Thank you so much! This is what I’ve been looking for. Finally I know what those triads I practiced for proficiency exams are for. Man I wish I could get your private lesson in the future.

[@7soulcraft7]

Triads are it. Just cant go wrong. Any underlying chord tone works, And the diminished arpeggios get you moving up and down the neck linking to another voicing position or idea as well as ad an element of harmonic sophistication to the tune (particularly against the minor which is already a "bit diminished" :) Tomo this lesson is juicy breakthrough territory. Well done.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you!

[@lyly18224]

Yeah the diminished arpeggios sounds like a neat trick to help add "spice". Really cool stuff

[@Max-The-Axe]

This is such an incredible lesson. I think the thing that helps like with that you said is, to distract yourself which can go hand in hand with not overthinking/overplaying.

[@charlottemarceau8062]

That hard rattley picking 😂 funny af

[@jazzguitarneophyte-christo7988]

You know a person is very good at guitar when he doesn't need reverb to make things interesting. Most of the time Tomo plays straight to the amp and produces his sounds from his technique and his dynamics and not effects! He also givess great advice because he is a teacher and sees this on a daily basis. That is why I respect this man alot!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks so much! I love old records... blues or jazz... recored before 1963... NO REVERB AMP! So I just wanted to imitate them.

[@theologian1456]

This is a real guitar teacher. Rather than launching into an amazing solo in order to show off and intimidate his audience, Tomo puts himself in the students shoes and shows it like it is in real life when you practice. I've learned more in 5 minutes here than in the previous 100 hours from other so called teachers. And not only is this a valuable lesson, Tomo actually goes through all the chords of the piece. I hate it when a lesson shows you what to do with one or two chords and then leaves you hanging. Thanks Tomo 😊👍

[@tahsinthoughts]

Tomo, I have seen this video one year ago and again today and it makes more sense now. I used to stress out about playing the chord changes thinking I had to know every triad and map it out to play it. While this isn't untrue, it's also not the complete answer. Now when I am put on the spot I play the chord changes by 'changing directions' melodically with each chord change. Even if it's not the exact triad, if I play just *one* note from the triad/ chord and work around there with other notes it goes smoothly. Thank you for this!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! Most people think "Practice Stage" and "Performance Stage" Same process! That's impossible to achieve it!

Thanks!

OK. I can only find this interview.

[@BrunoNeureiter]

@@TomoFujitaMusic That's, I read the blog post but it wasn't what i was looking for. I'll also learn the minor triads and learn to connect them with chord tones. It'll take a while

[@vvvz4762]

🙏 Awesome Sir ( Guruji ).

[@sERiiuS]

I know some scales, but never really found my “voice” on the guitar. I can play stuff… but I can’t make her sing. Breaks my heart 🥲

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You can do it!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You just need to learn proper ways.

From what i learned from fujita, just play from the heart, what you hear and feel make it play.

[@kevinblakely4384]

Fantastic. I know all my scales but my phrasing and soloing are terrible. Triads bring the music and simplicity to the table. Thank you. I was about to take up the keyboard

I always try to play a 'sound' . It can be 2 notes or 6 notes, because 1 note more or less gives you another sound quality. It actually comes down on playing what you feel and that could be in an academic way. I think that the notes that you play or composition you make are choices that are influenced by how you feel in a particular moment because when you improvise you 'are' mostly in the moment

I've been Looking at 4, 5, and 6 note Arpeggios to Identify the Chords that exist within the Arpeggios and I've been practicing using those big extended chords as Pentatonic and Hexatonic scales 🎸🎶⚖ I've been experimenting with using the pure Triads that exist in the extended chords and playing those Triads as Arpeggios over the extended chords and vice versa Your tips are very helpful 🙂 I've been playing for about 40 years and I try to learn something new each and everyday .. Today you were my teacher Thank you 😊

This is something I know as a sax player, turned guitarist. I guess every instrument has its own hang ups. To me it’s about slowing down. You don’t need to impress the audience. You need to entertain them. Entertainment is your industry and job, not impressing other musicians with your mad skills. You totally nailed how a horn player thinks, and the fact that on guitar or piano or other rhythm instrument, it’s not necessary to constantly calculate in your head. So you are not saying watching KZbin, drinking whiskey, and playing guitar at the same time is a bad thing. Because I am totally doing that right now. I’m basically film scoring the news with the Blues.

[@adamwilliams6704]

I love these videos where you do extended soloing over a simple progression. I learn so much from your phrasing and your rhythmic variations. I'm starting to get a bit more able to use these things in my own playing. Thank you for your online content!!!!

[@benjaminaustnesnarum3900]

This is valuable information. Knowing WHEN to play is very important. David Gilmour and B.B King are my favourite guitarists because of their impeccable feel, and thoughtful notes.

Ive been playing for about 4 going on 5 years, and im pretty “good” by the standards of people in my area, but ive always felt so stuck in the rock and blues sounding licks, i hear people like masayoshi takanaka and im like “what the hell” yknow but this really opens my eyes up and makes me really feel like i can be the guitarist i want to actually be and i dont need god given powers to do so, tldr love you man thank you

Great lesson. Sometimes I get tired of my own playing style. Because I learned by myself and I've never made such an effort to understand what I was actually doing, as a result, creating this limitation wall that prevents me from expanding my musical abilities. Although I believe that listening is one of the most important aspect of learning/studying an instrument, and because knowledge is different than understanding, the theory is the key that might open doors to the other side, thus expanding musically. Thanks again for this great lesson.

I was there with you. All my solos sounded the same for years I never stopped to consider it was my fault haha. I would listen to a easy solo like comfortaby numb and wonder how a penotonic solo could sound like that when mine would be pretty boring. How's your playing going?
