I started paying attention to Tomo Fujita when I found out that he was John Mayer's guitar teacher and mentor. The man is just incredible and his humility when playing with other musicians is just admirable. The man is an absolute compliment to any artistic setup.

Totally. This is insane! And personally the most awesome “cover” I’ve seen of little wing

It is such a beautiful thing to see two musicians at this level just get lost into a conversation with each other musically and just have FUN. Tomo has the most disciplined right hand technique of any guitarist I've ever seen, and his playing is so tight in any given situation, he isn't in the box... he is the factory that MAKES the box. And Eric never fails to impress me. He is loose when he wants to be, tight when it counts, and 110% of his heart is always in his playing. The only other guitarist I've ever seen that has such a raw, instinctual connection with their instrument was Jimi himself, and I will leave it at that.

3:21 " Your not close enough" " i need you to be closer. I always thought jamming was an intimate dance between 2 players, but this proves it lol

These two bring out the best in each other. This was absolutely incredible thanks for sharing this video.

Both have such distinct styles, really cool version of this song.

My thoughts as well-very distinct guitarists but you can watch them learn each others language in the short duration of this video.

So sad a lot of people don't know or understand Eric, who is having fun. By the way he learned to play the guitar this way its a family trait and tradition. He is widely known as an amazing Hendrix player. Nuanced... Jimi was many different things and precisely got tired with people telling him what he was, and how he should play. Eric can do nuanced... This is having fun at a trade show and "the judges" come out. In any case thanks Eminence for such a cool jam!

Eric and Tomo never fails to boggle my mind

Two of the best right there. Not exactly in sync but grooving off each other and reacting in very short time. Playing thru the Eric Johnson signature speaker LOL love it!

Every time I see Tomo Fujita play with anyone it warms my heart

Tomo...king of Melody and Eric is icing on the cake!! Both are gifted!!

This is incredible, you two really are my inspirations...maybe when i come out my cave we can jam - UK HERE

Phenomenal playing by both. Wow!!

Jesus😍 I hoped Gales and Bonamassa teamed up, and they did. And now this!! God i love the cooperations between these geniuses.

Tomo tone is just perfect

Tomo’s playing is smoother than butter.

@mixermantim Awesome show this year. We launched a signature Eric Johnson speaker, and three new pro audio drivers. Attendance for the show was significantly higher than previous years, a good sign for our industry.

wow masters at the guitar!!! I use to have a old Jazz guitar teacher in 1980 in Montreal on Decarie boul. his name was Frank Quinn. He would hold his guitar just like Eric, picking with left and the strings upside down.

These guys sure feel the music. Good stuff.

Watching this makes my brain explode

No, Jimi switched string positions even though he used a right handed guitar. See for yourself: /watch?v=fBgyXXnbfBc . THIS guy is a leftie AND he's playing upside down (high e top, low e bottom).

legend says he played with the strings upside down when playing right-handed to please his dad. He took right-handed guitars, inverted the strings to play left-handed with the low strings on top unlike Eric Gales, Albert King or Otis Rush and then when playing for his dad who wanted him to play right-handed, his low strings would be at the bottom... I think

Damn tomo so tasteful solo. Hey i will glad you teach me to play like that

Wow!! Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan play amazing music..

..I really, REALLY want to hear Tommo and little Taj Farrent from Australia have jam... Now that REALLY would be something to behold..!!

well how cool is that

Can anybody here explain to me what Tomo is doing when he's adding chords between the lines?

So much Tasty and Nuanced playing.... Great Google Moogly!!!!

Jaw dropping.

they went to work!!!!!! ay dios mio. crazy story. i left plenty comments on tomos youtube tutorial videos years ago before i knew who he actually was and he replied to a bunch of those shits lmao. i had no idea that i was talkin to a guitar god. now i watch videos on his channel to see the conversation lol

Now this is a crossover

He's feelin it.

Why didn't Tomo Use that Vibrato Bar-- I would like to see how he can incorporate it into the playing. Tomo makes everything seem so easy and clean.

What is the model of guitar tomo is playing here?

wow

Mirrored masters.

Does anyone know how the EJ1250s in a Twin reverb reissue would compare to EVM12Ls?

@eminencespeaker

The EVM12L would be cleaner and more neutral. The EJ1250 offers more harmonic detail, a natural compression when pushed because of the Alnico magnet, and nice, warm, crunchy break up.

Love this, it demonstrates how music unites us all, regardless of cultural, ethnic, sexual, and geographical differences, like love it's something we all understand and relate to, which is why I follow music not political bullshit.

Albert King also played that way

nice

At the end Tomo plays that sweet John Mayer kind of bend but Eric's like "No way dude" just totally ripping like probly one the fattest, cleanest, and most elongated EJ style lines like everr 🤣 I love Gales

I love Phil X , But between his band and this one, I haven't heard so many people Butcher Jimi's song "Little Wing" in my life. If you want to hear a GREAT RENDITION of it...Go Listen to Steve Vai...Live at Astoria London and listen to something that would have made the hair on Jimi's arms stand up and gave him the chills , as it did me..

Amazing Will Smith!

Uhhh, you guys got tabs for that? 🥴

can anyone identify what scales are used at 3:25 and on?

@willsketchesmusic

6 жыл бұрын

On the Am (going back to Em) he played E Aolian, and then E harmonic minor to suggest a B7. The last one is what made Eric go "damn dude". If you approach it from E minor pentatonic (which I suggest you should), forget the scales, just add a minor 6th and then a major 7th (both in E) to the pentatonic and you're good. The rest is all down to your improvisational phrasing.
