Tomo is clean af. Keeps it simple and then throws in crazy little riffs out of nowhere. This was great to see.

Pretty big JM fan, and I figured there were a lot of influences in his playing. SRV, Hendrix, Clapton, Freddie/BB king etc. being the more obvious ones. But here I found another major influence. I hear a lot of similarities which I assume he borrowed from you. Tomo you're now on my list of people to check out for inspiration. Thanks for this demo!

Tomo’s fundamentals are so good. Can play tough rhythms in different voicings anywhere on the fretboard with near perfect touch and timing

Impeccable taste! Beautiful interplay, each gives the other perfect space and never feels like a competition. I would gladly pay for an album from these two.

That's what good musicians do. they absorb every notes they heard and try to see how they can make that piece of riff into theirs mind. a good musician is always improving and experimenting different styles. no matter what genre, a good riff is a good riff. if it fits, it fits.

The lick Tomo plays at 4:24 is amazing

They had an entire conversation without saying a word this is awesome!!!

I graduated from Berklee class of 2000. Tomo is a great guy and inspiring teacher

Such a beautiful, wordless conversation.

It's an honour to hear you guys play together. As a fellow disciple of the School of Tomo Fujita, albeit through his incredible Guitar Wisdom and KZread channel rather than Berklee, I get pure joy to hear you two play. Thank you both, really a privilege.

His playing, his guitar, his hair, his vibe. Gotta love Tomo.

I could listen to this all damn day. You never cease to amaze me Michael, but this was especially cool!!! Next time this guy comes in, I need to know. I want to be front and center for the next jam!!!

Tomo has great note placement. I can totally hear his single note jazz influence. Great sound.

A gift from creation. Music brings us all together.

1:33 Tomo looking around the room like, “you see this shit, my student got so good”

Tomos string rakes are so clean it’s insane

My goodness that’s the tastiest playing I’ve heard in a while!! Amazing

Very 70's feel! Tomo plays some of the cleanest rhythm I've ever heard. Great duo there (of players and guitars)!

I love how you always hear its Tomo’s playing. The man has such an own developed sound!

Michael Lemmo's phrasing and lead lines are so wholesome. He always shines in these jams.

Norm's has jam videos all the time but this is what i'm talking about. Loved It.

Revisiting 5 months later to just say this is still the best nrg jam I’ve seen, and Tomo is the best online teacher!

This is amazing. I’ve watched this at least a dozen times.

I replayed it again and again. I think this definitely is a epic video.

Two styles melt into one style. Great jam.

Smooth sweet jam! Thanks for sharing

man Tomo's riffs always so clean

This just makes me feel really good.... every time....

Legend and legend in the making at work.

Wow- two fantastic players. That was such a great jam.

great example of dedication to this result. I can't stop listening.

It's been a long time since I stopped what I was doing to watch and feel. What a video.

One of the greatest duets ever performed at Normans

Beautiful spirit lifting funky music... perfect synergy, how all that humble talent, amazing

Always got time to watch tomo. A guitarists guitar player.😊

I love Tomo. Such a great guy.

Wow! One of my favorite jams ever at Norm's. And considering the venue and constant flow of talent that's quite a compliment. That was truly beautiful. Such incredible rhythm playing and every note in the lead parts was so purposeful and necessary. Nothing superfluous. So musical. Brilliant.

i just love how tomo plays. it sounds like a real melody and not just random licks

Just sublime playing!

So two lovely human beings!

I’ve lost the count on how many times I’ve watched this but it never gets old. That outro lick that Tomo does is absolutely tasteful.

By far one of the most mesmerizing videos I've ever watched on youtube.

This is one of the best jams on the norms rare guitars channel. So smooth you could sail a boat on it

I could watch these two jam for hours

More, please. A ton of talent on that couch making it look so damned easy! Loved every second of it.

those single coils are hot!

I never comment but this was just too good. Both playing with pure joy.

Best jam ever recorded !! Showed this vid to all my buds. We became fans overnight. Go Tomo, go Lemmo!

Quality gear played by quality guitarists..... doesn't get much better than that

What a great jam! I can certainly see where Lemmo got some of that funky, funky groove from 👍👏

Outstanding!!!!!!!

Amazing

Two of my favorite players

Brilliant combo right here...

This just made my whole night. So dang cool

I love how Tomo saved that beautiful run for the last few seconds. Really closed off the jam in a beautiful way.

Such such great feel. Lemmo always seems to know what note to play next to keep a song dynamic and flowing. Now we know who he learned that from. Nice camera work as well.

That was awesome! The Master and the grasshopper playing some beautiful music together. Loved it!

I think these are the chords: Amaj7(5x6654), Amaj7(5x665x; he plays fingering without the thumb at the start), G#7#5 (4x455x), G#min11(446474), B9sus4(7x765x), C#m7 or Emaj7 (x76444; he plays the C#m7 but you can substitute for the Emaj7 which is first inversion of that C#m7 chord and sounds cool).

@thiagoborsari7364

@JuicyLeek

The second chord is a G#m7 (but he does 464474 instead of the plain 4x4444). If you watch his "Sunny" video, you will see that this is the m7 chord shape that carries the whole song. The following chord (at precisely 1:11) is an A/B (A major with B bass note), which is 7x765x as you mentioned. I guess you could call it B9sus4 as you did, but if you create this shape by play a vanilla A major barre chord and then moving the bass note up to B, I think you'll agree that it sounds like an A major played on the guitar with a B on the bass instrument. Also, Tomo calls it an A/B in his Solo Etudes book. He uses this in Room 418 and his recent "beautiful chords" video. I only know this because these are common Tomo chords that he often uses in several of his other videos, and I have his Solo Etudes book.

What a fun jam. Tomo is amazing but man, I'm so impressed with Lemmo. Love the part starting @ 2:14. Sounds so smooth.

Beautiful!!!

Fantastic!

Another gem Michael. Love it thnx

Two great players jamming. Great Saturday. Thanks

After knowing this is Pon Pon Pon, I have so much more respect for these two musicians on top of the mountains of appreciation I already had for them.

What a vibe awesome!

Tomo is a monster rhythm player.. and THOSE BENDS!!! So good.

Amazing !!!

These two are great!

The Strats are the perfect guitars for this upbeat bubbly pop tune, gotta love those beautiful classic Strat tones as much for the delicious rhythm chords as for the lead notes. This song nightlights Lemmo’s exquisite musical sensibilities. He has an old soul and such a great ear for the classic guitar chops.

Soooo Good!!!

That whole video flew by so fast. Couldn’t believe it was 6 minutes long! Felt like 2. Such great playing

My guy Tomo I cannot stop loving his guitar chords progression ❤️🎸🖤♥️

That was mesmerizing. 🤯✌

This the best jam yet.

Amazing duo from France ! 🇫🇷🇫🇷
