You play soooo great man! I wish I could play even half as good as that!hahhahahhaa;-)

[cedarsiding]

I may be mistaken, but I suspect that neither Bernie nor Will are playing live in the studio with you in this clip.

I could record myself playing to a backing track of Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman and promote it as "Recording with the Rolling Stones rhythm section . . ."

But, that would be jive.

Are Bernie and Will in the studio with you in this clip? If so, cool. If not, don't resort to hyperbole to sell your CD.

Also, check out Jimmie Vaughan. Economy of notes.

Best of luck.

@cedarsiding Thank you so much!

@TomoFujitaMusic I think he is on automated pilot...I guess he side stepped your question.

[qwertmanable]

@cedarsiding Serious man? your telling a master on his instrument who he needs to play like? and if you researched before you criticized you would realize that he did record with Will Lee and Bernard Purdie. You have not recorded with the Rolling Stones. At least to my knowledge... So that was a jive comment. Come on dude! respect this clip for what it is! Tomo playing real, musical, tasty blues music.

[RyuSteveHasegawa]

Gadd のファンで、検索してこのビデオを拝見しました。HPも拝見しま­したが、Pure は、凄いドラマー３人と共演されているのですね。そちらも試聴さ­せて頂きました。素晴らしいですね！HPの今後のライブスケジュ­ールは更新されないのですか？特に、Gaddと日本でライブはさ­れないのですか？？

[TomoFujitaMusic]

@RyuSteveHasegawa ありがとうございます。そうなんです。"PURE" Featuring trio performances with Will Lee, Steve Gadd, Bernard Purdie and Steve Jordan。なんです。もちろんまたライヴのスケジュールが更­新されますよ。ステイーヴは、クラプトンと忙しかったので、また­話してます。何がおこるか？お楽しみに！　トモ

[RyuSteveHasegawa]

@TomoFujitaMusic トモさん、御返事ありがとうございます。御本人から御返事を頂け­るなんて、感激です！HPもチェックします。ライブには是非行き­たいです。今後のますますのご活躍に期待しています！

I'm feeling you man!

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you!

Tomo

[gonzalitoylarry]

WOW Tomo, you're one of my favourites, I'm From Argentina and i don't think that i'll be able to get your album over here... and i don't like to buy it from i tunes or such, beacause i like to have de cd case with all the data of the recording.... too bad.. :(

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for your kind words. Yes, the cd will available soon.

Tomo

[sideburnsbob]

Ah, heaven to my ears.

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! You would enjoy other tunes!

Tomo

[Antiks72]

Tasteful.

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you! My new cd "Pure" will be available late March.

Tomo

[jasaggio]

very nice touch on that sweet little blue conversation. i am very interested to hear more of this style....

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you! I am planning to release my new cd around March 2010. Three tunes from this session.

Tomo

[zzmoore]

Seems like every time I log onto TGP there is a clip of you playing with some icon. Honestly, no kidding, I enjoy your playing just as much as any of these guys you record/jam with. When I think of a journeyman guitar player, I often think of you. In my eyes you represent the level of skill, tone, healthy attitude that a pro player should have. You can do a lot of things the right way. Guess it is, the way you get things done, your tone, choice of music, Fender Pro Rev....

Well Done

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for your kind. Music is always a part of my dreams. Slowly but steady ... I would like to push more.. I am very fortunate to be able to this. It took me from 3/08 to 3/09 to record with Steve Gadd, Bernard Purdie, Steve Jordan and Will Lee. I am very happy about the result. I am planning to release this cd around 3/2010! Yes, Pro Reverb! The best amp in this planet!

Tomo

[corrindion]

Oh Yeah!! Seriously arresting and tasty!!

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Great! Were you all tracking together or is this an overdub?
