    I am truly humbled to have came across some of Tomo's originals today. I am disappointing I hadn't heard this earlier, but better late than never.
    To hear you blend what my favorite musicians have done, Govan, Lagrène, Martino, Scofield, etc... and create your own style is something galaxies beyond extraordinary. You have inspired yet another (funky) soul.
    After watching all of your videos, I need more. Please keep them coming!

    テクニカルなだけでなく、英語で教鞭を執られ、世界中からリスペクトされているという、日本人のギタリストとしてこれまでなかった領域を切り拓かれていることに対して、(ありきたりな表現ですが)心から尊敬しています。日本人、とりわけ全ての京都の方々にこういう人がいるということを知ってもらいたいと思っています。ありがとうございます!

      @TomoFujitaMusic  2 года назад +4

      やっぱりバランスですね。テクニックが安定しないと演奏は良くならないですし、演奏が良くても人柄が良くないと人は集まらないです。毎日、感謝でいっぱいです。いつもご丁寧にありがとうございます!

      お言葉ありがとうございます。実はこの3人で音出したのがこのヴィデオの10分ぐらい前で全くリハもやっていないです(笑)相手を信じて、こんな感じの演奏になりました。そのように言って頂いて嬉しいです。ファンクが好きでブルースも大好きで、ジャズも少し好き。エフェクトは移動のため大きい物が持てないのでペダルも4−5個以上入らないことが条件なんで音作りもきわめてシンプルです。このステージは、Boss Blues Driver WAZA pedal のみでアンプは、Roland Blues Cube Artist 2-12です。

    Amazing performance and great vibes... Just out of curiosity, I wonder how many times did Nik and John rehearsed the tune with you, Tomo. It sounds so clean and precise, and still so freakin' spontaneous. I can guess y'all had a ball. R.I.P. John you surely are and will be missed

    • @TomoFujitaMusic
      @TomoFujitaMusic  4 года назад +4

      Great question! This was so amazing. Actually this performance was the first ever that I never rehearsed this song with the band I was suppose to perform. NEVER! So I really trusted John & Nik... The reason so spontaneous and musical because we never rehearsed this song.

    • @solafrz
      @solafrz 4 года назад +2

      TomoFujitaMusic thank you for sharing this, it really sounded like never rehearsed before and still so groovy and precise (I guess Nik and John may have listened to the tune a couple of times just before playing, is it something like that?). That shows how great the musical feeling was between the three of you, and the immense sense of music that the three of you have. Again, so sad that John passed away... Thanks for your reply, Tomo 😊

    • @TomoFujitaMusic
      @TomoFujitaMusic  4 года назад +7

      You're welcome! That one was so special that we never rehearsed or even jam together! This was the first I ever met Nik too. Nik's idea that we were supported to play Blue Note Japan as "Funk Fusion Trio" as new instrumental group. This was for the first time ever we played together. Unfortunately this was the last time. I still can play with Nik... but I really miss John!! He was so sweet!!
