    Tomo was one of my teachers when I went to Berklee, and he was also John Mayer's teacher when he was at Berklee! There is a cool little story at 6:08 where Tomo said he actually recommended John to leave Berklee and pursue his songwriting career-I guess it was pretty good advice. Make sure to follow Tomo on Instagram and check out his Guitar Wisdom lesson series (links in the description).

      I didn’t ever realize you where a Berkley student. That was possibly because knowing your background stories and achievements was never as important to me as the the execution of the art. So consider that, I didn’t follow or subscribe to you because of you going to a certain gig. Or because of who or where you learned to work your instrument better. I subscribed to you because I liked how your imperfections make you who you are. And I like to learn from people like you and tomo. If it was perfect it would have sounded like is was robotic or digital. Like a keyboard playing “Electronic Guitar”. And as you know the guitar is an imperfect instrument to begin with. As Perfection is something we all strive to achieve, however it’s also something that wouldn’t sound as good as close to perfection does. (The grass isn’t always greener on the other side.) We actually subconsciously look for imperfections and how or why they eventually come forth in the way that they do. So in my personal opinion your actually a good player in your OWN right. And that’s why I learn from you. It Because I choose to. Not because of your achievements. However on that note I also want to thank you. I actually really appreciate the knowledge being passed on to a poor guy like myself. And believe me I’m hungry for that knowledge. Even if I can’t pay for it. I’ve been playing for years on my own. And I didn’t get to far. But I’ve been hungry for a long time. I just didn’t realize I was getting 2nd hand burkley lessons 😱. So Thank you again. 👍🏻✌🏻🤙🏻✊🏻👏🏻 your awesome for actually letting me learn. A poor city boy with his cheap guitar. Dude your awesome. ✊🏻

    My high school music teacher was a former guitar professor at Berklee. Much like Tomo he wasn’t a shred god. I could out shred my teacher, but damn he was full of knowledge. A literal walking music theory encyclopedia; and even though he wasn’t the fastest player he blew me away with how few notes he had to play to out perform me. I guess I’m trying to say that having a dynamic style is more impressive than being a shred monster. Music theory kicks ass!
