It's good to see him in your studio. Learn a lot with this one. :-)
Nice to See him👍
Please do a video called ,, 10 riffs that taught me ( actualy you) guitar"! Please!!
9:24 Greg Koch cat lick in the wild. LOL
Music is Win Still waiting for my acceptance/ denial letter from Berklee but man if I get in I cannot wait to learn from this guy
He was John Mayer's teacher, he is using his student's signature guitar!
yeah :D
That his student personally gifted him too lol
@@soupdawg2924 woah, didn't knew that
@Odell Mateo why is it disappointing? We should know him for his work and skills, not through someone's reference.. even guitarist like Joe Satriani and Paul Gilbert are not famous because they were a great teacher in their times
@Odell Mateo lol offend me why??
What i am saying is matter of choice.. i am sure Tyler didnt introduced him because he was not sure if its ok to refer Mayer.. maybe Fujita wants people to know him for his work and skills.. i agree with you, its not very difficult but its not something disappointing..
He’s like the Yoda of the guitar world.
Of the guitar world the Yoda He is like .
Robert fripp is
Luke Monsensey look mommy, it’s an internet troll
Well yoda didn’t figure out palpatine was bad
Or listen to his own student Qui-gon... and was wrong quite a few times really .
So ....yeah
True
He played pinch harmonics on a clean tone without a pick, LISTEN TO HIM
Go try it for 20 minutes and you can too lol
yep, without a pick, ouch
J Sykes its actually easy
its easy af i do it on my classical guitar
this guy having a hard time learning pinch harmonics :d
I studied with tomo. He's a funk/blues teacher at Berklee. But he kills at many styles! Super nice guy, who's been through more in his life than most could even imagine. He's a very strong person, and his work ethic is unlike anybodys. Super humble, even though he's a legend. Anyone reading this with an interest in learning guitar, soak up everything this guy posts and take it to heart!
That man taught John Mayer. That's how you know he's incredible
And Michael Lemmo
A teacher playing the signature guitar of his student is a bigger accomplishment then the student getting a signature guitar.
Who?
Well Satriani taught Steve Vai, how incredible is that ?
That beeing said i think Govan is actually the best guitar teacher in the world.
Wow wonder who else is on his roster. Also imagine being able to afford the same teacher as those guys back before internet days
8:31 His voice matched with the key
Tyler: Yeah you had this riff on a VHS from 20+ years ago
Tomo: Oh you mean this?
Also, no one has cleaner bends than Tomo.
Go tell that to Gilmour lmao
Man played a whole ass song
gilmour bro hahaha
JACK THAMMARAT
Just Funky!
The year's 2006: I get my first guitar (a blue Squire HSS) + amp and, with it, comes a little book (with acompanying CD) from Tomo Fujita to teach absolute beginners the very basics and how to have fun in the first few weeks. I was clueless on how to play the guitar, on how to tune it up, etc, and that book came through for me in the first crucial weeks. Even though I've never met him, I feel like he's been a key part of my guitar-playing experience.
Ibn Sina youre lucky to have a squire on a point that you dont know how to play.
@@kuyakoi3469 It was made for people who didnt know how to play, though - the little book included confirmed it, if any doubts remained
@@kuyakoi3469 A squier is like $80 just clean some cars and buy one haha
RCWEDNESDAY oh wow thats how you make in cleaning cars? I clean a Dornier 228 turbo prop aircraft i marshall aircraft for free. Goddamn!
@@kuyakoi3469 I never meant to come off rude in anyway! If its you're passion often times you do what you have to do in pursuit of it man. Remember you're valuable man and someone out there will recognise that service.
When I got back into guitar after not playing for 25 years I came across your channel and his channel and now I know more in 6 months than I ever did in the 5 years of playing as a teen. RUclips generation is so blessed.
Love Tomo! He's the guy that encouraged John Mayer to leave school and pursue his music career! He has a lot of great guitarists to thank for!
0:33 - 0:53. I guess that's how heaven sounds.
You would know, MJ.....
Thank you Michael, very cool
So you are in hell ...eh mj
Ichika Nito’s sounds resembles that. Asian guitarists are the best
@@nehemiahzo_ race has nothing to do with one's skill as a guitarist
Damn Tomo! Such smooth playing... his feel is unreal. His vibrato-less bends are now his trademark. Not to mention, that funky double-time raking technique.
I think it's really neat that Tyler has all these expensive guitars he's acquired over the years, yet he still chooses to go back to his original green PRS. When you have a bond, then you have a bond.
I know that feeling. I had owned a Cort (thick neck, small frets, overall an OK guitar) and played it exclusively for 7 years, and then I stepped up and got my dream guitar, Ibanez RG prestige, and didn't touch my Cort for almost 3 years. And then I just picked it up, put new strings and like everyone else said "It plays itself". Wizard neck is amazing but the bond with my first ever guitar is in another level.
I mean, that green prs is a bloody expensive guitar too... 🤷♂️🤣 (but I gets what you mean!)
Every great guitarist must establish their iconic axe
Love this video.
You guys have a great dynamic and its wonderful to see the respect and admiration you have for Tomo.
Thank you for leading me to him and his wonderful energy and guitar lessons.
I discovered Tomo randomly on RUclips a while ago when he used to have his lessons up in English on his channel. Learning triads really changed the way I play and I went from hitting a plateau to moving on and improving.. He really is an amazing teacher.
"When you perform what do you think about?"
"Food"
Recording yourself and listening back is one of the BEST WAYS to grow and learn as a musician!!!!!
Beautiful as always! Incredible ensemble and duo ❤
Great video, thank you for taking the time to post us this very useful information
I'm not into his style of play, but I would love to hear his bending everyday. He is a virtuoso in this kind of music.
When he does a pinch harmonic without a pick and in a clean tone, that's the time u realize u can't fck with this man.
The way he teaches is just next level watch him and then watch a random guitar lesson and they are incomparable. The way tomo uses and works with the guitar is like the guitar is one with him.
I found this to be an amazingly inspiring video. Thank you very much. That you are so willing to shine the light on another speaks volumes for your integrity and commitment to music education. You are a true teacher.
These interview videos are the best. You ask questions us plebs can't ask and your humility is authentic. More of these please
This was dope. Love Mr. Fujita's music.
Tyler, this is one of my favorite videos you e ever done...can you do more like this? I know you probably have a lot of friends who are great players in Nashville, I would enjoy seeing you more in this setting. Your a great interviewer and the way you guys broke down the lesson was perfect...please consider making this a regular feature.
Yesss
You guys are great!! Love both of your attitudes and respect of people❤️💙
Love this video. You can really see the admiration in your body language for this mentor in your life. I truly enjoyed it.
in my opinion he is my kind of guy and the licks he plays are mmmmmm tasty
the ep is great and bought it
Tomo: “Almost like a cat” *wailing string bends*
My cat: “wtf is going on where is tHaT CaT”
Genuinely he was spot on the money there 😂
LMFAO 😂😂😂
I could listen to you guys for days ! This is so awesome
You have by far the best content for everything guitar. I have grown so much in my playing abilities and love for guitars. I’m up to 4 guitars now each with its own sweet tone. I’m no expert but I’m getting better everyday. Great quality videos. I wish you gave lessons! You are the best!
Can't wait when Taylor makes A video with John Mayer

Please check while john at barklee tomo played with jm
"I have students who can't come up with a melody because they think of E minor pentatonic so much" - Tomo Fujita
I've never related to anything more in my life
That's me
That one hurts
What does this mean I’ve been playing 4 days
@@jackhannaway6432 The minor pentatonic scale is one of the first things lots of guitarists learn, and it's really easy to get stuck playing scales instead of what you're actually hearing in your head. Scales are important, but if they're the only things you think about when you play it kind of gets in the way of your creativity
Tomo is such an inspiration! Thank you for this!
Tomo you blow me away and surprise me every time! Astonishing my two favorite tubers need more of you two! 😀
ok, I'm a metalhead, but you two jamming in the intro sounded awesome
@Luke Monsensey you're the worst kind. People listen to metal all the time. It's a huge community
@@bitwise7548 people still can't differentiate rock n roll, metal and rock
Too beautiful
Excellent interview, full of good information.
Daaaaamn Tomo!! The feel, the technique, the rhythm.. it's all so good!
I love getting ads for Guitar Tricks saying learning guitar from RUclips doesn't work literally during a video that is excellent and I guarantee way better than any lesson from Guitar Tricks. I learned like 30 things just from this video alone but no you're right Guitar Tricks you can't learn guitar from RUclips.
Haha...I've seen it too...it's somewhat of a contradiction because they are essentially saying," this video on youtube doesn't work, but our video which you can watch on a tube works!" Haha!
@Guitartricks
Yeah, probably should try targeting that add on crappy RUclips guitar lessons....lol
"So many people want to play the guitar but very few actually learn, want to know why? Because youtube videos dont work" here's me only ever used youtube 😂😂
Valid. I've learnt a shit ton from RUclips videos. If you can organise how you learn then you'll be fine with RUclips videos.
“The problem is that you sometimes sing something you already know.” That blew my freaking mind.
Music is Win + Tomo thank you so much really learned a lot of things...Listening u two jam up was literally awesome such a fine musician and a great teacher together living their life to their fullest lots of love 🥰😍 and keep creating such awesome contents thank you once agin☺️🥺
What an amazing teacher tomo is. Some really interesting ideas thrown out here. Nice guy to boot 👍👍
Berklee College teacher!! Love to see someone as great as him here in Massachusetts
Do you think it's important to study music in college if I want to make a living off of the musician lifestyle?
RandoZero Guitar I think it’s important to go to college no matter what because you never know what life might throw at you. And extra knowledge is always helpful
@@AureoOreo but do you think it's important to major in like jazz comp?
RandoZero Guitar it’s all up to the live you have for your instrument and genre. I can’t figure that out for you, give yourself time and space along with passion for music to figure that out
@@saintrhoads3375 if you don't like jazz or jazz guitar, I wouldn't bother studying it. Knowing some jazz is helpful though. And no you don't need to go to college to be a pro musician but if you have the opportunity to, you should. If not, you should definitely get lessons from a good guitar teacher who can help you get to that level. Good luck :)
He seems like a really cool guy...and I bet he didn't mean to outshine ya in the into like that.
Smoooooooth
Tomo is such a wonderful player and teacher. Just marvelous!
Thank you music is win for having a content like this i will push my self more to improve you gave us power thanks to you and to mr tomo fujita
Please do a video called ,, 10 riffs that taught me ( actualy you) guitar"! Please!!
Tomo: This is my signature pedal. 200 made.
Tyler's gear addiction: 200 you say?
Hope you do more of these with Tomo. Awesome colabs.
Since your last video with Tomo I have started following him and his work. SUCH a great guitarist.
Autoplay played this for me, and I glanced over while getting ready to start my day and omg, if it werent for this video chord shapes may have never clicked. Ive never been much of a listen and learn guy, I have to watch it be done to learn it.
Tomo absolutely has his own unique way of teaching, it's so interesting that'll get anyone on board
And there's another interesting story!
Tomo suggests John Mayer quit the Berklee to pursue his vocal skills.
You can learn more about the behind story that around 6:20-.

Thanks for the great video! Tomo's style of playing is very impressive to say the least. And lots of wisdom was shared here. I especially liked the part where you and Tomo talked about the difference between playing and practicing. That hit home with me. During my practice time, I mostly focus on perfecting a skill or technique. When I am just playing, I am not thinking as much.
This was great man. Thanks for posting
I actually emailed him about lessons! Very Humble dude!
What an incredible learning experience. I learned I can't play for crap.
Amazing Jam !
Always a pleasure to hear Tomo play.
My great music teacher in junior high school gave me, in my opinion, one of the best musical lessons that anyone learning to play or experienced for that matter, should employ. His motto, "If you can not hum it, you will never play it properly" . In other words you have to feel it. He would stop everyone and say stop reading the music and listen to me and then he would hum the melody and have everyone hum the melody and only when he felt we had the FEEL of the piece we were playing we would continue.
As a self taught player it took me a very long time to learn the difference between practice and "performing". I didn't know that practice wasn't supposed to sound like music. It's about skill and muscle memory. This lesson really hits that home.
9:20 The way he hits that pinch harmonic with his thumb and finger is so clean and crisp😇
I agree! Love his channel
I have soooo many things I would like to comment about from this video but I really have to say this:
You really need to be cool, good and confident to make a video about someone teaching while this is your major source of income.
Great video man, great video...
Watching this made me realize I don't need to be able to fling my fingers as fast as I can at the fret board to be able to play beautiful music that sounds really quick
You re absolutely right!
You Guys Put Tears Of Joy In My Eyes and Love in My Soul 🎸✨
What a honest and humble man!
That Silver Sky sounds so good in the hands of a Master player
He sounds almost the same on a 400$ Squier
I see the master has acquired the weapon of one of his greatest apprentices
Truly epic.
That is cool to think about
It was a personal gift from John to Tomo!
@@flonsdg oh damn, I never knew that!
Great video, thank you for sharing!
What a great video, thanks Tyler!
I’m not sure why but Japanese people have incredible ear for melody and I know this because I’ve listened to many Japanese rock bands. All of their songs have incredibly ear catching melodies that are so satisfying to listen to. Incredible words from Tomo
Because Asian people put more attention on the melody, westerners more on harmony, African people more on groove. That’s why we need to learn from each other.
Tomo made me smile like a crazy person while sitting in the train... A little background here... I love metal and rock, but when it comes to japanese music I love J-pop the most... The reason is because J-pop composer really know what they're doing! The basslines are always so original (sry, I'm a bassist) and the melodies are just amazing! I especially love Tsunku and his songwriting... But also some individual songs like ponponpon he was refering to... This song is so insanely catchy!
He gets it... And I hope more people gonna check out good japanese pop music because it will improve their skill to come up with really original music...
藤田先生、教えてくれて本当にありがとうございました！jpopは最高ですね•••
Could you please give me some J-Pop refs to listen to ? Beginer's guide for someone who's been brought up on the Beatles and Led Zeppelin...

Brilliant video...superb!
So many cool percussive textures layered in!
Steve Stine for me
Any Steve fans out there?
Haha i watched His new Satch Cover just before this Video :D
He ist a great Teacher and Player for sure!
Yep he's excellent. Uncle Ben Eller and David Wallimann are great as well.
yeah steve is my favourite, i learnt to solo over any chord :D
great guy one of the best teachers out there for sure!
Steve is THE BEST teacher I've seen in a very long time
" I steal from Japanese pop songs"
Me: grabs a pencil and paper
you'll go nuts listening city pop
@@CharlieOspina lol true. When i heard Tomo play it on guitar. Damn its awesome chord and melody. After that Tyler show the original song. Damn
JPop is just superior in terms of musicality that's why. So much more enjoyable than this western garbage.
LMFAO 😂😂
This is the coolest video I’ve seen in a while.
Tomo Fujita is the humblest man alive. He is a true legend. Thank you for blessing us with your music.
HOLY HECK THAT INTRO JAM IM
Dude, your like, amazingly good.
Also you look like Eric Clapton (compliment).
You looked stoked to jam with ur old teacher, right on! Cheers to another good vid 🤘🤘
He's so humble i love tomo fujita!!
guitar: MEEOOOOW MEEOOOOW
me: this is important stuff im working on.
Has anyone noticed that the cap tip is missing from Tomo's pickup selector switch?
Wow, just came across this a year later, what an incredible, valuable lesson. Best one on RUclips to me that I’ve watched.
This is the mother of all other tutorial videos in this channel. I extensively follow Tomo Fujita, but this video has done a great job in capturing his best techniques and advises. Cheers from India!
2:28 that's almost like a predecessor to who did you think I was
why has every guitarist had him as a guitar teacher?
Cause they went to Berklee
A lot of “musician’s musicians” come from the Berklee school of music where he is a teacher
@@luchadorito aaaaaa
Bafass teacher, cool guy and a great school
my guitar teacher is his student too
It makes me happy seeing you enjoying yourself playing with your teacher
Beautiful music thank you
I dare you to try and watch a Tomo video and not smile, and remember "no wrong notes, that's just Jazz"
tomo in last video:physically, i cannot play too many notes
tomo in this video: 0:19
Pure awesomeness!
My goodness.... what utterly beautiful phrasing... thank you for sharing Tomo-sama with us...
21:08 jeff beck- cause we've ended as lovers 😎another guitargod
lol - Tyler fanboying, hard core....not that I blame him - Fujita is unreal
I love Tomo. What a legend!
What a pleasant moment!
I wasn't a big fan of Tyler, i am now because his admiration is true. Tomo is amazing!👍
