Another great lesson. I subscribed to Guitar Wisdom two weeks ago, it has been a great investment.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom.

[@rodger2499]

@@TomoFujitaMusic You do such a great job in explaining the subject, and you are comical, and a treat to watch. Thank you very much!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that! Thank you!

Same I also subscribed very good content

[@RC32Smiths01]

Minor Pentatonic might be simple, but that's why it's important. It will always be there for every and any musical context possible. Such an accessible scale.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for sharing! So good!

[@RC32Smiths01]

@@TomoFujitaMusic Thanks as always!

[@caprise-music6722]

Yes. Imagine how many songs and melodies one can play using the notes of the minor pentatonic

[@juffurey]

seems like humans naturally understand it

[@kezten538]

Very nice video to consolidate knowledge about pentatonics, I am very fond of your videos, they motivate me a lot to keep playing.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Happy to hear that! Thank you so much!

[@malcolm1367]

So its mixaledian is malodical scale yes and i understand i learnt blues scale before anything else then 7th chords tomo you legend

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Major scale with b7! Thank you!

[@malcolm1367]

🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊 great blues lesson today tomo thanks

[@JBMindset]

Tomo, I appreciate your videos. Im a guy who works with his hands and didn't get the college music experience. It's nice to have great KZbin information from you and others. Especially when I love the blues so much.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for sharing! I love blues too! Maybe I can explain with my blues listening list.

[@deylanengel7251]

The classic comfortably numb progression

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Yes!

[@WOTM8]

Hi Tomo, can you enlighten me how to properly use pentatonic..? I mean, how do I know which shape I’m on right now..? I am the type of guy that when I listen to a chord, I jump straight away to the note I have on my mind.. but then after hitting the first note, I struggle to hit the 2nd note on my mind because I don’t know which pentatonic shape I am on… 🤔

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Normally I suggest my students to avoid that shapes! I teach them notes and sounds. Then different fingerings (choices) not shapes. So that you need to learn Major Triads & Minor Triads. Triads are so good!

[@WOTM8]

@@TomoFujitaMusic Thanks Tomo!!!

[@hormihen]

What is the relation between major and minor pentatonic? I mean, if I play A 7 the major pentatonic really fits…

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

I explained in this video. Please watch 3 times!

[@nickbellinger1047]

try going to minor on the 4 chord and back to major on the root ....it's easy and fun to play between the two when you find the right link that suits your style

[@standbyme6395]

That's because a 7 chord is a major and diminished chord as one...

[@JTB--]

Nice one Tomo. I really got a LOT out of this lesson. Thank You 🍻

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Glad it helped! Thank you!

[@ab_0625]

Just started playing around with this scale. I'm already sounding better than I really am. 😅 Guess this is why this will the favourite scale of every guitarist. You begin your lead guitar journey from here.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing!

[@Jack.Waters]

Yesssssss,,, Learn the Notes. Not 585757575858 ---- You'll be stuck for decades in the C Scale..... Thank You Tomosan. ❤🎉 PS. how about a 4 note challenge? What can one do with 4 pentatonic notes? Any 4 notes. Bending allowed. No slides.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you! Less is better!

[@uberjam-sam8512]

Love how you go up and down one string when showing pentatonic minor or mixolydian scales. The idea isn't new, and have practice that way, occasionally, but this really made it clear in a way I've not experienced before. Tyvm

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! Yes! Not new at all! Musicians has been practicing this way! Most guitar teachers are using vertical shapes because it's easy to teach... Very important to learn all intervals, name of notes & Do Re Mi... Ear Training with them. More fun!

[@VinsGroove]

really nice guitar sound Tomo san full and good clarity love it!! great lesson Tomo san i really appreciate this kind of information full of foundation! I start taking lesson about electric guitar nowadays. i have a personal question Mr.Tomo, do you like more to Humbucker bridge or single coil bridge pickup? hahhaa cant wait for the next videos Tomo san!!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much! I love both. This guitar, it sounds so great with HB type pickup. More videos are coming!

[@brianhutson2337]

Very smooth! Another wonderful lesson. I'm new to guitar. Are you tuned to standard and does half step tuning affect where you play on the neck? Thank you.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that. No problems!

[@seby8030]

Hi tomo, thank you for the lesson! I've been familiarizing myself with the pentatonic scale and I've gotten to the point where I can start switching between positions comfortably! After the minor pentatonic scale, what's another important scale I should learn, similar to the minor pentatonic?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! Good job! Melodic minor scale , Harmonic minor scale

[@adrian_V99]

Thank you, Tomo, for another on point video. Lovely tones from your Ibanez Strat. Cheers! 🇨🇦

[@oneroad7072]

If you put a guitar player on an island by himself to master guitar and a tree fell would it make a sound?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Without listening music experience... noting will come out!

[@nornicle2]

Hi Fujita-san, can you please tell us how you achieve your tone? By coincidence i bought my first electric after many years of acoustic, and it is nearly the same the AZ2204 Prestige but with the hyperion pickups. I was excited to see you play an Ibanez!

[@oneroad7072]

Can you just play by ear without knowing theory?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

It's a little hard to do. As if you don't know how to count numbers but you want to be a successful accountant.

[@ozanenginsal5029]

Hi Tomo, thanks for the lesson. In many of your lessons you play a sequence of drop two voicing. I can't figure out the last chord you play in those sequences. It sounds and looks like a R 2 3 b7 at 14:55. If that's correct, what is the name of that chord?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! That's Freddie King Hideaway chord! b7 9 M3 R ... learn everything super slow! Good job!!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]
