Why I love the Ibanez AZ2203N SFG?

[@BeauOnDrums]

I wish I knew about you earlier but your lessons are the best I have ever seen. Your style of video feels almost like a private lesson. Sharing your philosophy on practice, improvising and life skills is very helpful. Thank you for showing me how to practice. Applies to other instruments.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that! Thank you so much for sharing! Exactly! I make these demo/lesson videos just like i am teaching in private lesson! So no written script or anything. Just play & talk on specific topics. You're very welcome! Thank you!

[@mirkojovanovic3216]

I love that guitar.your wisdom and playing is second to none.good that Ibanez followed your input for AZ guitars.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! I showed a little AZES31 toward end of this video.

[@mmiller6873]

First off, your playing is music to my ears. Secondly, the guitar is sweet as butter. Thanks for the demo and well done.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! It was so much fun making this video! Played many things that I did plan.

[@VijaiShyam]

the tones so clean they disinfected!! love this line!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Yes! So good! Thank you!

[@robzagar4275]

Tomo I received my drinking cup and “pick-shaped stickers” very fast and they are so nice. I learn so many things from your channel. As an older beginner your sunny disposition and good presentation are perfect for me. Much thanks my friend!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! So awesome! You can post it on Instagram and tag me! I need to replace Sunny lessons with much more details. Thank you!

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

YES... So glad you played it through the amp i knew it had nice tone from the unboxing but know i know for sure and watching You enjoy the Guitar like your first day is also a Joy to see @ 9:00 ''ohh what was that'' lol some guitars make you play their theme tune not ours i love it Thanks Tomo have a great Day sir

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

I love this guitar! Thank you so much! My pleasure!

[@JohnLloydDavis]

I was waiting to hear this plugged in, awesome :)

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Glad you like it! Thank you so much!

[@nvlddmkm1282]

I recently got a Prestige AZ2204NW and it’s simply amazing, it does EVERYTHING, while also maintaining vintage spec. I’ll always jump at the opportunity to own a MiJ guitar.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing! Awesome!

[@cyrildavid]

Same, az2204nw punches way above its weight indeed. I find myself playing it more than my other single coil guitars.

[@ww3lstep]

Nice bit of Cause We've Ended as Lovers!

Yes! Jeff Beck tributes there

[@SuriSanJose]

Sounds lovely! Awesome playing!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Glad you enjoy it! Thank you so much!

[@FronzSchornack]

Thank you Tomo for sharing those wonderful guitars! I love the way you played especially Lenny by S.R.V. and all your blues scales sounded fantastic. The overdrive pedals sounded very pure with nice harmonic over tones at lower volumes which can be hard to do some times but, what really surprised me the most was that you never went out of tune on both guitars, not one turn on the tuners wow, I must honestly with out a doubt say that Ibanez makes great sounding and great playing guitars! Thanks again.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You’re very welcome! So happy to hear that! I love SRV tone! I love playing simple blues sound instead of blues scale shapes. Listening SRV intensively really helped me. Just listen one song for 20 times a day for a while so you can hear every notes without the recording.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Very important to set a great tone with low volume and using those overdrive pedals with harmonic contents by how you picking. My picking volume is so important!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Tuning steadily part is super important! Basically I stretch those strings 4-5 times & tune them 4-5 times with patient. I DLL that all my guitars so they are stay in tune really well. I bend a lot of notes so once my guitar is in tune.. it stays in tune very good! It’ll all about good preparation

[@strumminronin]

Lovely bit of kit! Thanks Tomo! Thanks Ibanez, Thanks One Control🙏

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Glad you like it! Thank you so much

Damm bro! After all this time, just checked out all your recodings. I had know idea, my favorite kind of Jazz! Fusion all the way! Made me cry! So Organic not over processed either wow. Well done collection sir! I wish you could have been my guitar teacher in college 😢. (Wait, you are my guitar teacher now...😂❤🎸)

I am also looking forward AZS2209.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Awesome! www.ibanez.com/jp/products/detail/azs2209_00_01.html

[@chenlouis5561]

@@TomoFujitaMusic Interestingly, AZS2009H BLUE METALLIC is surprisingly cheap. I am in Australia; I saw it was just 1988AUD (other AZS would be 2800-3000) once, and I immediately ordered one. So it is in my collection now. I also ordered the 基础力向上 book and progressively got all the points in the book. Thanks, Tomo. Your wisdom is helping me become what I want to be.

I need a strat and love that it has the flat radius and dark fret board. I want to try one so bad.

I’m liking the guitar Tommo ! It sounds real nice . Is it expensive? I haven’t been around for a while because I have t been to well! But I’m all good now . Here’s wishing you good health guy ! One love .D

[@johnfeole1971]

From the sound, you adjusted the action slightly higher? Sounds so nice..

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Normally I raise a little action in general. Thank you!

Thank you Mr.Fujita. Ibanez (Japanese) guitar quality is good!. 👍😆🙏😎

いつも拝見してます！ トモさんがアイバニーズの2203などのステンレスフレットのギターを選んで演奏するのはどんな時ですか？

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

ありがとうございます！正直、ステンレスのフレットは好みではないです。ヴィデオのAZES31 にニッケルのフレットのトーンの方が好きです。

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

このギターは、全く癖のないトーンでセッションにバッチリです！

[@shu_1372]

セッションなんですね！ 色味が最高で気分も上がりそうです！またライブ動画のアップ待ってます！

[@yyy-y5n]

カッコイイですね。きっとジェフベックがAZを所有していたらきっとこんなモデルだったんでしょうね。

トモさん、アメリカからわざわざお返事ありがとうございます。自分も少しでもトモさんみたいに上手くなれる頑張ります。

Few colors if any look better than SFG on a guitar with rosewood fretboard. That one is gorgeous.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! Thank you so much!

[@Clive007]

I agree, What a shame they no longer make the SFG. It is now only avaiable in black or a beautiful Antique Turquoise in the AZ2203N.

I cant believe that red guitar is only 299. I thought it was at least $500.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

I still can’t believe that the AZES31 is only $299.99

[@646oleg]

Tommy Ibanez beating fender at their own game, is a known fact. Better give us a secret of not having one gray hair after 50

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! This guitar is so amazing!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So sorry! MMM! Could you repost it? Accidentally I erased it! ΜΜΜ The best us always inspiring, playing! Can i ask you how someone can improve his musicality! It's maybe a geneal and a big question, but i have been playing for the past 6 months every day with the lessons from guitar wisdom, and my technique has been very much improved us my knowledge but i would love to be better at generate tasteful ideas in my head! I am kind of new at guitar (i play for 10 years, but most of them i just strum chords and sing and didn't give the time and effort to progress! I know now degrees triads i can find some melodies (slow, but i am proud of that! i never believed that this would be possible!) Anyway, maybe now i can learn and understand deeper good songs and slowly become more musical!! The other day, i was practising scales, and 2 melodies came up from my head. It was very cool! Anyway, thanks for everything. You are really helping us with our guitar journey.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

I was going to pin it.... then I clicked wrong thing!

[@Firemedic361]

Ibanez is going to make me go broke and sell my Fender Strat😢
