Hi Tomo - just wanted to say that at the age of 51 I finally decided to really learn how to play guitar but your guitar wisdom course was the first one I found that didn't use tablatures. That made a big difference in my progress because it forced me to learn triads, how chords are formed - but it all made sense now. Your positive attitude is awesome! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing all your knowledge!

Yes, you're right about my Guitar Wisdom course has no Tabs, no PDFs! But I am so happy that a lot of people really trust me, my teaching style. I really appreciate it. I am so thankful and grateful. I know it's a little hard in the beginning if you so used to see shapes! But now you can hear those shapes with intervals and you can play same phrases in different positions so you made yourself improve from what you have done! Good job Jay!! I love Triads! Only 3 Inversions! Thank you so much for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom. Feel free to wrote any comments on the forum too. Thank you!!

I am in same boat, playing mediocre and relying on tab for over 40 years with little progress over last 30 years. I am subscribed to Guitar Wisdom and agree we don't need tab to learn, we have a fretboard. I don't learn patterns anymore, I learn the scales and intervals that form the patterns. Having to stop and replay sections to see what Tomo is doing and what scale tone, what inversion is being used, forces me to learn the fundamentals and the fretboard. Tomo, I love your subtle philosophical comments, they are golden.

Tomo going "ooOOoh" into the guitar will be my new ringtone

Happy Birthday! Fantastic! So great to hear that. I will post more lesson videos here! You're very welcome! Thanks for visiting here.

In 1979, invited to replace lead guitarist in a classic rock band, I got a BIG lesson in the value and importance of rhythm guitar. The leader of the band was showing me parts on the Allman Brothers' "Whippin' Post" he needed me to play behind his vocals. The 11/8 time signature was new to me; I'd no idea it was a 6/8 - 5/8 phrase, but theory was the least of the problem. I wasn't connecting with the PATTERN of the chordal parts. He says, "I'll bet you can't play the same thing twice!!!!!". That one statement turned my playing around...... Years later, I'd formed a quite successful 6-piece band with Latin percussion section and keyboardist. As leader, I had to be as close to perfect as possible on rhythm guitar. I added a 2nd guitarist...... he could play terrifying lead, as I'd known since the 70's. However, I'd eventually discover he (and at least one other 2nd guitarist) had no interest in carrying rhythm guitar parts. While singing, on a gig, on a tune with fairly involved chord comping like Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On?", I stopped playing the chords and noticed....... he'd been * faking the rhythm guitar parts with volume turned all the way down. Apparently rhythm guitar was below him...... not so uncommon, actually. He's got no idea what he's missing. What did come from that was a fresh new appreciation for rhythm guitar...... :) ON MANY gigs I carried the entire guitar/keyboard parts and loved it..... all coming out of "playing the same thing twice" :) * Better to play nothing than it is to play it wrong!

I used study solfejio when I was 8, when I started to play the piano. I started playing the guitar at the age of 13. I studied so many chords, then continued to play with tabs. I had 6 years pause and now, when I started to play again, I discovered you as an amazing teacher. I love your videos and thank you for what you are making for people who are desired to learn music theory.

Hey Tomo Fujita!! I love all of your videos, they have helped me a ton, thank you for everything you do! You helped me figure out the chord progression to Donna Lee(I had already learned the header melody but was struggling with the chords) and I love all the exercise videos like the arpeggios from heaven, your happy song progression, and your video on setting up guitars got me to fix my intonation and pick ups on my Strat.

Hello, TOMO. I love your friendly, stress-free teaching style w/ excellent views of fingers on the frets. Yes, the progression that begins w/ 1/4 notes down, then enriched w/ skips and upbeats, plus 1/8 notes is cool. Start the groove and stretch it! Complex enough to keep beginners entertained and going to the next level of skill. That pattern is rather like what Luke Combs uses in country western style. And yes, get students interested in tone, the element we spend much effort on refining in acoustic. My favorite guitar is an Alvarez Artwood 360, all mahogany open pore finish, with light gauge Martin MA540 strings. Finally, attitude matters; and you display genuine pleasure in even the simple things demonstrated. Thank you for being generous with your time. I spent a year mostly on rhythm. Now I am often working on a D'Angelico Fulton 12 string to develop my flat-picking, arpeggio, and movable chords. A lighter touch often, like Neil Young 1978 Comes A Time album. Peace and best wishes.

My goal for this year is to take my playing to the next level by learning theory. ive been playing guitar for many years but havent progressed much because I never got serious about learning music/guitar theory. I thought that the more songs I knew the more tabs I learned the better guitar player I would become, I spent many years just doodling with my guitar playing notes and learning chords and songs but not understating how or why they sounded good together and feeling bored and stuck without any improvement in my playing until finally in the last few months I decided to start taking lessons and reading books on theory and now things are starting to fall into place I learned more in the last couple of months then I had in the last 5 years.. im a long way from Berklee but im ok with that and im feeling motivated and excited to learn more about music and I have you and your videos to thank. Discovering your channel and your videos got me motivated to learn about music so thank you very much and I look forward to all your future videos and lessons you post.

I started 4 years ago in freshman year, learned G, C, and D from my first guitar teacher and he taught me personally some music theory and for the past 4 years I've been doing everything I can to not improve my playing, note holding, or anything in general with the act of playing a guitar but what I have done is expand my knowledge of theory to try and be better than I was yesterday. Now that I've discovered this channel I have very high hopes at cracking the wall holding me back 👏👏 you have that feeling of teaching that reminds me of my old teacher

@TomoFujitaMusic Thanks for bringing joy and delight to learning! Whether intentional or not, your progression in the strumming exercise and playing with rhythm, palm muting and adding notes (the 7th?) to the chords is inspiring. It demonstrates how everything starts with the basics and how to build on those to create. So fun! If I had to narrow down to a single overarching goal for 2021, it would be to develop confidence in my playing and ability to express myself through music. As for something specific and actionable, I would say more effective left hand (right hand for me because I'm a lefty) usage: adding suspensions, pull-offs, hammer ons, walking bass line, etc. I primarily listen to folk/acoustic musicians like Josh Ritter, Trevor Hall, John Butler, etc. and they incorporate a lot of left hand into their playing to create unique sounds and communicate mood. It can take a basic chord progression and turn it into something moving and magical. Thanks!

@@matigoldbergguitar9013 correct. I took s lessons for about 4 years. I feel like the teacher I had skipped over a lot of the basics and important techniques when I was a beginner and I didn’t learn some beginner stuff until much later on and was forced to play catch up and learn on my own at a lot slower pace. I don’t know if that makes sense but just the way this lesson came across

Thanks for all those awesome lessons and I wish you all the best for 2021! My main goal for 2021 is to get more suttle in rhytm and groove and also I want to get more confident in playing in front of others! I would like to see a lesson where you talk about "ergonomics" playing the guitar.

Tomo is the real deal. So genuine. My goal is to improve my chops and get SHREDDED. Want to internalize the guitar so it becomes second nature. Wild what you can do with just three chords and "dynamics". Tomo has used that word in other videos and I just finally snapped to it. Actually looked it up: "In music, the dynamics of a piece is the variation in loudness between notes or phrases." Great lesson.

Does the subscription have a time limit or if a buy it now can I watch the videos in (for example) 2 years. Also I am intrigued by the music theory you have there. Keep positive and thanks for this great lesson. Happy new year!

Most of the time I practice rhythm with metronome or a drum loop. It's like you are playing with a band and it makes me more confident and enjoy practicing. Also, like you I have different notebooks, one for ideas, one for projects, one for tips and tricks and one for tracking my progress. Definitely you are one of the most knowledgeable guitar instructors on KZread. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences 🙏🙂

My daily goal is to do what I need to do to see tomorrow. My focus is what it is at the moment. Nothing else. I have no real needs, only wants. Currently I want to learn all I can about this wonderful 3.5 octave instrument so I can add music into the Universe’s energies bringing Heath and Prosperity to all that may listen and hear. 🕯🔮🙏

I realize I am commenting long after this video, but my goal this year is to build my guitar skills the right way and improve my understanding of music. I have played in a few shows and blues festivals with my former band, but I skipped many important steps along the way. So, here I am, to learn how to play correctly and hopefully over time, more musically.

Great attitude! Keep going! Must have a solid foundation! Thank you!

First time I came upon your channel I thought you were from Holland as you're style of playing and your appearance( that video you only filmed yourself untill the waist, no face..) felt and looked so much like the many guitarist we find here ( in The Netherlands) of Indonesian descendance, from The Molukken ( group of Islands) to be exact. I was really quiet sure about that; rythmic , melody and phrasing wise. So I was rather surprised at first to find out you are from Japan ( Island of great musicians of the like of Ryuichi Sakomoto) Anyway, most of all , like so many, I realy come to appreciate your channel , your approach to teaching!!Thanks very much for helping us and all the inspiration you provide for so many. At least for me; IT BECAME A PLEASURE AGAIN TO GRAB MY GUITAR ., first thing in the morning! Plus, finally I found myself a real Berklee-teacher!!

I haven't dug through Guitar Wisdom much yet as I started working on sight reading along with the book right away and concentrating playing clean and on muting . That said, I feel I need a lot of rhythm work as I have more or less let that slide. My goal is to learn playing lead.

Hey professor Tomo! I subscribe to Guitar Wisdom and have learned so much from your lessons! I would love to see a lesson all about setting up electric guitar tone and amplifiers for different styles of music. I have been using your recommended settings for practice, but I am wondering if you’d recommend different settings for a live performance for example. Thanks so much!

My favorite videos are your chord composition videos like Lovely Chord and Sad Chord. I'd like to learn more on how to create interesting chord compositions. Some ideas would be introducing some movable open chord voicings when in standard tuning (like the song Melissa), how an alternate tuning like drop D can be applied to change chord voicings, e.g. 224400, 333550, or 5x0435. Maybe some simple chord exercises where you do various chord voicing rotations, like chords with G major, Gsus4, Gsus2, then back to G major, or another like E minor, E minor 7, E minor add 9, back to E minor, as a way to help improve your finger's chord memory.

So great to hear that! Learn more good sounding chord progressions as reference. Then you will have a few directions then mixing, creating your own! Those are one of harmony techniques using open strings as common tone! Thanks so much!
