Tomo Fujita The Chicken solo part1 (B.B. King & Triads)

Check my new cd "PURE" Featuring trio performances with Will Lee, Steve Gadd, Bernard Purdie and Steve Jordan. Samples are here. Free tunes too. http://www.tomofujita.com/us/cd.html


Soloing idea over "The Chicken" up to Bb7 to Eb7... just like "blues" but D7, G7, C7... gets jazzy. Start with B.B. King. B.B. King phrase is always right! Space is equally important as notes! then I put triad lick there on D, G, C.... .
Sorry I played 1/2 W scale on 3rd time. You figure out. My 9 year old boy was working as camera tech for this videos. So don't complain! Enjoy and write your thought on this song. Fender '92 SRV strat (Raw Vintage pickups & Fender '78 Princeton Reverb.

i feel like your playing too much though.... there needs to be more space between the notes when phrasing because this open up dynamics.... i find alot of blues players have problems with the vibrato bend...... bb king was the master of this and Santana and Hendrix new this very well..... hold notes to give space to quick phrasing is key in blues..... it sounds more like jazz noodling otherwise........

@codehendrix Thank you!

It's fun to play this style. Did a good job on changing key. But I'd say, work on picking dynamics. Everything you pick is so soft and sometimes like you're unsure, and same volume.  The greats really dig in and get some tone out of that strat, you can make it vary wildy just by the attack. Make that thing learn to scream!

@stratthead Thank you!

[MrBigdaddy7115]

some people are just dumb,Tomo you are one of the greatest guitar players of the day,wish i had just 10% of your skills

[7StringJay]

I know right? Professor Fuita is an increado talent. These chumps are trying to give him pointers? These punks comment to pettrucci "your too fast you need to slow down? Do they tell via "your too emotive"? Do they tell Yngwie "your too classical sounding"? It just goes to show the difference between a pro and schmo and Mr. Fujita is all pro as he very humbly tells them... thank you XD

[justinsong514]

I mean, people try to teach Tomo Fujita? are they fucking outta mind?

[phatfieldguitar]

@stratthead Lol, hope you know who you're critiquing. He knows what he's doing and he makes those choices on purpose.

@codehendrix hmm doesnt seem like hes really going for a "pure" bb king feel here. thats just me guessing intention which is hard to do with music. love the vids tomo!

[codehendrix]

@codehendrix what i love to do is record myself and then listen to myself right after.... i do that alot ... especially when im playing with other people... if im jamming with them.....

[codehendrix]

@William102582 The videos i have posted are pretty old but i did a instrumental cover of estelle... r&b .... which i like to listen to still..... check ME out then... im being honest with what i say... i do believe tomo is amazing though... dont get me wrong..but why cant i say that he seems like hes noodling here... and yet still like him.....? i do..but i dont like him here thats all.... I also have another thing called, ".... and the tiger met the dragon..." which i like to listen too

[codehendrix]

@William102582 I actually like listening to myself alot... i like to record myself and play.. havent posted new stuff lately other than one thing i did which i like alot.... its called ".... and the tiger met the dragon once again".

[William102582]

@codehendrix Tomo Noodling??? dude you don't know what you're talkin' about!!! or who you're talking to! Or maybe post a video of your playing so we can learn from you. LISTEN MORE, I hope you can play even half as good as that!
