[TomoFujitaMusic]

@MarcoToyRocket Look for better videos! Enjoy!

[zeffy00]

john should definitely make some songs with this really soulful jazzy thing going on here, just his guitar, some singing and scatting and some tight funky drums, oh that would be good. great footage tomo

[TomoFujitaMusic]

@zeffy00 Glad you enjoy it!

@bleachfreakchris hey bud, ive got it worked out, i just need to try and get my laptop to record the thing, ill get a video up on youtube within the next week or so showing the more basic chord and riff structure, if people are still interested.

[atroye]

Cool to see him playing it on a Strat as opposed to the Novax.

Can't believe,I'm talking to the person,who was John Mayer´s teacher. Just incredible :). And you´re answering personally. Thank you for your great videos. Love it. You and John Mayer are so awesome.

Greets from Germany :D

[TomoFujitaMusic]

[RougePakMing]

Tomo,

Can I ask what kind of Strat John is using? I swear it's a tribute to Jimi Hendrix or something of that sort?

Thanks

[23roflcopter]

Any idea where i can get my hands on that strat?

[BlueRevolver]

Dear God this intro is amazing... If John put out an instrumental album, I'd be the 1st in line.

[zcutlah]

unbelieveable groove at 0:50

[ezekiel814]

Tomo, where can I get your books/cd?

Thanks.

[TomoFujitaMusic]

My new book? Amazon (Japan). Thanks.

Tomo

[MikeBurtMusic]

i would give a kidney for that guitar

[woutertron]

I can't stand all the loud ass chicks in every audience at his shows. You love him, we get it, shut the fuck up already.

[billysquash]

@woutertron i'm with you. i love mayer. but the stupid drunk chick fans almost make his concerts unenjoyable. they are good for a laugh though.

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Don't pay attention others Enjoy the show!

Tomo

[650alcombli]

i thought i was at a backstreet boys concert when he first came on stage. they're deafening. some people would like to hear HIM and not the screaming, hah.

[1BrknHrtdRomeo]

I WANT THAT STRAT!!! =(

[holuc08]

Fantastic intro jam. What's your favourite song off the new record (battle studies), Tomo? I like Assassin and Perfectly lonely!

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Great jam! I love those two.

Tomo

[nickyslaw]

this is awesome

[dkfone]

this vid is prove that JM is one of the greats of today. Amazing stuff, playing a bass line while hammering out a funky melody.

[SuperB00gs]

i went into his music, he is not on the scene, he is somewhere else :)

[stuckinadazzee]

does he send you tickets tomo?

[BryceShuster]

come to think of it, hed be great to play some chet atkins.

[popomczowzow]

@BryceShuster

well he's covered everything else that's about the only thing left

[BryceShuster]

windy and warm would be awesome

[BryceShuster]

lol funny how we get thumbs down meanwhile the style john is playing in this video is exactly chet akins :P

the bass lines with the thumb while playing lead with the index, middle and ring fingers

[popomczowzow]

@BryceShuster

I guess most people just want to hear Mayer compared to Hendrix, SRV, Buddy Guy, Clapton, BB, ect

all the mainstream blues guys.

[texbls]

its Charlie Hunter style,

[OnSugarHill]

@texbls I'd say it's more Tomo Fujita style, who was doing this long before Charlie started doing it wiht an 8 string.

[texbls]

playing base line and soling at the same time is Charlie Hunter influence, if you are thinking about slapping pattern in the neon verse riff you are right, i was talking about base line...

[johnnnybruce]

It's good to see him back in shape

[JPRBlues]

Cool Vid 5*****

[alexrimsrydr57]

nice hendrix replica guitar!

[ragrytakr]

Funky stuff , great !

Also love that guitar ,

[BryceShuster]

loving that bass rythym, solo phrasings.

call and repeat.
