[SteveBelong]

Excellent playing my friend, I enjoyed listening.

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you! Glad to hear that.

Tomo

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Yes, but those are same quality as vintage strats and teles!

Tomo

[750tblack]

bravo!One of the best vids ever

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much!

Tomo

[MrFlowers]

what scales are you using in the piece?

[TomoFujitaMusic]

I mixed several scales.. (I don't think about scales when I play). I use more triads, chord tone.

Tomo

[loren69007]

This is fucking Jazz. Not Blues !!!

[briantoth]

Well you're showing your lack of musical understanding. A song can easily be both.

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! Good music is good!

Tomo

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks!

Tomo

[TomoFujitaMusic]

ok! Thanks!

Tomo

[Phryg]

Very tasteful playing Tomo; Thank you!

[AlexGronstad]

Rare too see a player of your kind, with extensive musical knowledge playin Blues with both feets almost on the blue side. u've inspired me deeply. thank you.

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much for your kind words.

Tomo

[jdkjkjdkjdks]

an absolute coolness you just played there

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for your kind words.

Tomo

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! If you visualize too much... you can't connect with your heart while you are playing,, so I disconrct from my brain! Look at something else to focus..

Tomo

[MusicalManchild77]

You are Awesome Man! I Love how you don't even have to look at the guitar...Amazing!!

[coolness108108]

Hopefully he's there this summer!!!

[TomoFujitaMusic]

I will be teaching Berklee Summer Guitar Session from 8/17-20.

Thanks,

Tomo

[kujofox]

very soulful. Loved the how you give a jazzy feel to the blues.

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you! If you want to play jazz, you want to work on feel of blues first...

Tomo

[laffingman21]

Tomo

[shanyiika]

Beautiful playing an dound. Must be 0.11s strings I feel it....that's music I'm interested in the most

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! I love blues too.

Tomo

[sjazohn]

how do you do it!

it's like i can feel your emotions while your playing that!

it's great!

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you! You want to be a great listener first. Liste to the blues! If you can hear blues in you.. nothing will come out? Less is more approach. less information, more emortion... Tomo

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks!

TF

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Tab for which part?

Tomo

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! I love these vintage Duo Sonics... Musicmasters... and Fender Black Face Pro Reverbs. I put NOS 7581s.

Tomo

[aypee16]

that was sick but there is nothing "lesson" about this

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for watching! This video for my students at Berklee... blues/funk lab and my tape lesson students so I gave them lessons, specific material, directions and details. This video will help them to apply. Thanks!

Tomo

[OkieSlims]

very nice

[LTDZach]

Would it be possible for someone to tell me what he is playing at 1:35 to 1:38? What scale perhaps?

[TomoFujitaMusic]

That was Joe Pass type phrase that you can use it over V or bII7 (sub-V chord). I played it over bll 7 chord so.... you can hear as 13, 5th 9th 6th 5th...then 5th 4th (over C7?) then resolve on Major 3rd. Listen to jazz guys.

Tomo

[goldenbudai]

dude when i heard this i grabbed my guitar and started playing the 12 bar rhythm w/ some chord substitutions...IT WAS WICKED MAN!!! oh if u see john mayer again...tell him if he wants his thumb war championship belt back, he'll have to go through me>>> "THe GOLD METAL WINNER" @ the 2008 Olympics in Thumb War!!

[PapierOuPlastique]

psh i fuckin agree

[treweof]

wow, one of them age 15, another playing Fall Out Boy... You two have no idea who this man is, am I right?

[jms8250]

Very nice and thanks for showing off such a sweet sounding guitar...

Trolls are losers.

[perdide]

lol nice face

[crack222333]

lesson?

[jakeshipp18]

1. It sounds like an antiques roadshow beginning

2. Tell me wut u did when you talked about that one thing

3. ohhh yeah! not even a lesson so sorry! my bad musta read title wrong betuz im wetahded dunh!

[darksidecookies12]

lesson????

[MadOldMan]

Very nice! That tone almost makes it sound like jazz. I prefer my blues with a bit of dirt but I guess that would be more blues-rock.

[edmatper]

Delicious performance !

[shmaltz]

absolute heaven

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you! Blues is beautiful!

Tomo

[skydog46]

Great stuff!!! Check my videos when you have a chance!!

[epa95]

lol

[bass0111]

Excellent. As a teenager, I bought my first electric guitar, a 60-61 (?) used Duo-Sonic, in 1965. It was great ...

Oh -- nice blues ... 8-D

Mike H.

[an1bal]

cool but not much of a lesson

[bass0111]

Sure it is -- 1. Listen carefully. 2. Pick it apart.

Mike H.

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Just posted about that. Thanks. TF

[DudeLove1996]

Nice Duo-Sonic it reminds me of when Jimi Hendrix was with the Isley Brothers

[niltku]

cool! i have the same guitar!:Dmine is from 1993 tough:D

[vybuot]

Great ! Thank you Mr Fujita. The sound is wonderful.

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you very much!

Tomo
