This guy literally took guitar lessons and gifted them to the world. Truly a gift. Thanks

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much!

Hey ToMo, I was at Berklee with you:) I remember you from back then I graduated 90. I was a performance Major. I bet you remember Mark French and many others. So cool that you became a teacher there! It is a refreshing reminder about ear training listening to your video. Thank you for posting. I always liked the way you played and I’m grateful to still be able to keep in touch. Keep on rocking!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Awesome! I studied with Mark French. Thank you!

[@mojodepot]

It was a really great education and I use the tools I learned Every Single Day. I just had to say hi, you have great energy🔥

[@steveb9325]

You're such a cool teacher laughing at yourself. Not laughing at yourself but with yourself! Yes! Just the pitch and obviously note/chord etc. Thank you Tomo!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're welcome! So much fun! I am so thankful!

[@Cuardaitheoirfirinne]

Tomo, thank you so much for this great lesson. I have had to accept that what is holding me back on in my progress is not developing my ear. The rhythm lesson was also great, super tricky. You even sound musical slapping your knees.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! Thank you so much!

[@ericmartin6457]

As a musician I I've ran into people that had different methods of ear training. One person could give the name of the note on the piano without a key reference while another needed needed a key reference to give you the distance in numbers and didn't need it in A440. I learned through association. Example: 5-3mj-1-3-5-1 As the beginning of the Star spangled banner and the basics of a maj. Cord. But had to use numbers because I couldn't associate letters with the distance. I need to hear the distance off the key note.

[@mdspman000]

I like that right after you say push to the next level it was right back to some funk chords!. Those heavy gauge strings sound great on that guitar. I found that I only make progress on ear training exercises if I do them daily for short periods (5-15 minutes). Doing it a few times per day helped a bit too but longer sessions were not that helpful.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for sharing. Less time, more focus on one thing (deeply!)

[@miaows1659]

手の動かし方というか、肩から指先までの動かし方がとても参考になります。使用している弦もわかって嬉しいです。 以前バークリーのEar Trainingの本を買おうかどうか悩んだのですが、他にも欲しいバークリーの本が何冊もあったので結局買いませんでした。

Hey Tomo, when you sing/play solfege within a key, do you think about the notes that the solfege represent? for example, Do-Re-Mi as C-D-E?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

When you are practicing stage, you should think everything, then you will hear more sounds. Please watch these lessons (Super Simple) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZasaGOOo6einbs

[@strato-dave]

That's great Mr. Fujita.... on the rhythm stuff do you always keep counting in your head or do you just get into that groove? Great lesson .... thank you!!!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

How about this? You are asking this question (When practicing? or when performing) Two different minds. When practicing, do everything you could included counting... when performing no need to do that because you need to dance!

[@PedroSanchez-iv5np]

Great music teacher

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you!

[@michaelaiello9525]

Thank you Tomo. This is actually 2 very dense lessons wrapped up in one. The ear training lesson is super, thank you. This is something that I need to work on, but your explanation and method makes perfect sense. The auditory rhythm training is, for me, more challenging to track. I followed your process, but this section demands for me to break the lesson down into smaller parts… and it feels a bit rushed. For me it would me more helpful to vocalize each rhythmic exercise by counting out the phrases. Is there a lesson of yours that focuses just on the rhythmic training you introduce in this ear training lesson. Thank you, much respect🌹

Lol, I'm not the only one who skips important steps, lol. Good idea while im learning to sight read even when i just memorizing I'll sing it outloud too. My voice is like nails on a chalk board. I find when I'm working out a song in my head singing the song helps me find the chords but it's so hard to get above a whisper.
