For those trying to work out the chord progression, just slow down the video and you can easily see what Zack's doing. G - E7 (no 5) - Am9 - D7 (no 5). Add in the chromatic bass line to make the transition smoother between the changes. Then the turn is C - D - C - Cadd2 (with your thumb on the 8th fret of the E string). Might no bet entirely accurate but that'll get you going. Then jam in G major and you're good to go.
Watching these videos is bittersweet; it's some of the loveliest guitar content around but I'll never be able to come Berklee to experience it myself.... ah well what can you do. Thanks Tomo!
Funny I always think of this in the context of jazz even like a jazz blues. It's interesting how when you can change the rhythm and the phrasing it becomes more like a pop music song just like it was back in the fifties with the doo-wop.

The nice thing with this progression which is the beginning of "Rhythm changes".You can play simple bluesy with lot's off Feel or play the changes like the jazz guys do with çhord tones and alterations on the dominant chords, always a great study. A fine jam, greetings Vic.
What time are you guys playing in? Budding guitarist not even 6 months in- trying to build foundation right and play in time. Just trying to jam to this the right way! Thanks for posting this!
From my little understanding of theory - it sounds like a lot of use of Major Pentatonic which bits of Jazzy Chromatic stuff thrown in. Do you have a scale recommendation for the jazzy type sound?
TomoFujitaMusic i hope i may ask... do you have a higher action, is the fretwork impeccable, how does this work for you? I had a strat with the same radius and found it harder to keep the note ringing in a bend. After a few months (i play everyday, guitar was second hand Fender) the frets got flatter, which Made it unplayable so... is sold it
Actually we all do this with each own.. (my case Larry Carlton) a few years. Then we all path through (if we noticed) to go own direction based on own influences. Like you never born without your parents. We all due to respect our parents, our influencers and thankful everyday!
@@TomoFujitaMusic yes, we all do try to copy our heroes and play and be like them. The way we perform is a mixture of dozens of inspirations (not only musical). But sometimes it is a little "too much" if you know what I mean. LC, SRV and plenty others inspired you, but you Tomo got your own cool thing going on. It could have been Miles Davis to say: "it takes a lot of time to sound like real you". Maybe there's a clue for this lad to try develope his own style (at Berklee level of education), not to perfect to mimic and play like another copy of JM
Your point is clear and loud! So important point is to do first step (copy as much as you can, study the details) then step two is when to stop and not listen those anymore and make a decision to how to make your own sound! This is not natural process (some people only say... it takes years.... but more specic way? My case... away from ES335 first step! Go to Stratocaster... but my case imagine Gibson tone in Stratocaster... so I have worked on picking... plus I am a huge fan of SRV... I can mimic SRV so deeply... but I heard so many people just use a lot of phrases from SRV so mu step two for that... go back blues guitar history to study more older blues guys so that I could make my own blues style which I mix with jazz. Above all, first you got to do copy somebody so close... BB King, Albert King, Albert Collins... you have to that "step one" so good then Step two is waiting for you!! It relates to everything. Good planning, preparation and pure hard work without expecting the result so fast. Be patient and believe yourself!!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Nothing to add Sir! I totally agree that Strats are the way to start it all. I really like your pro attitude and unique playing style (especially your trademark bends). I dig it!
Hmm that was ok. Dont get me wrong. I agree, they got nice tone and feel, but that was nearly all. 90% of the solos were like standart Blues stuff, pentatonics and bendings u hear all the time. Then lil bit of fast and jazzy lines by the teacher but nothin really that special. I expected a little bit more from the "big" berklee school. But hey that's my opinion so #plsdonthate #sorryforbadenglish

Young John Mayer is back
Really talented but john mayer is from another dimension of music.
heheheh funny
lotta people can shred, lotta people can sing, lotta people can write songs. not too many can put it all together. this kid is sick though
Hopefully less of a dick head John Mayer
@@Charldino2345 John is literally one of the nicest chaps around.
Crazy how this is for lesson purposes, yet I come back every time for sheer enjoyment
Thanks so much!
1:17 Crazy run Tomo shows us why he’s the MASTER!!
Thank you so much!
Wait is that a Donna Lee lick?

As an amateur guitar player, thank you for these videos. They inspire me to practice every day.
You're welcome!
The guitar face is strong with this one!!!
May the guitar face be with you young Luke!
Watching these videos is bittersweet; it's some of the loveliest guitar content around but I'll never be able to come Berklee to experience it myself.... ah well what can you do. Thanks Tomo!
Don't worry
Don't compare
Don't expect too fast
Be kind to yourself
Thank you! You can learn a little by little...
@@TomoFujitaMusic you're awesome tomo
@@TomoFujitaMusic best guitar teacher in the world for reasons like this..
0:47 Summoned Inned Mayer..lol. DAT FACE!
More of you two please!! I kept rewatching the previous video because i loved it so much.
I have more!
Thanks!
Post more with zack please. I rewatched the last one like 29 times :)
I will do more!
This is the man who taught John Mayer and it shows. Glad to see you're teaching yet another John Mayer
Thank you!

Thanks so much! Even simple pop chord progressions, I tend to play a bit of jazz essence like imagining chords that not exist in that chord changes.
It's so inspiring to watch young guitarist playing with all their heart, nothing to loose. Beautiful.
Thank you!
This guy always knows when to pass the spotlight. I love watching him play.
Thanks!
If you a guitar player, this is close to heaven
Thank you!!
Zack gibs on fire

Incredible vibe🔥🔥🔥
Love the bending precision of both
Thank you! If you prepare bending technique then you can control it!
Always lovely. The rhythmic accents in the comping oh Tomo San. Perfect way to end the day
Thank you!
見ててついついニヤけてしまう
ほっぺがじんわりしてくる
いつも先生も生徒さんも楽しそうだし、人の良さも伝わってくるし、こんなレッスン受けたいし、受けれるレベルになりたいと思う日々。
よし、がんばろー。
この生徒さんも最初からボクのお話もよく聞いて、真面目に頑張ってきました。基本が安定したのでこうやってジャムをスタートしました。面倒なことをしっかりやったのでこのように楽しくなります。楽しく頑張りましょう！
@@TomoFujitaMusic
おお トモ先生！
お返事ありがとうございます。
実は僕は先月にドラムでプロを目指そうと決めた者で、今まさに基本を身につけているところです。
最近レッスンを受け始めましたが、その先生がバークリー卒で、僕にもバークリー式レッスンをしてくれています。
なので、トモ先生の動画でバークリーのレッスン風景や空気感が見れて、とても嬉しいです。
一人でのドラムの練習は、なかなかつまらないと感じてしまうこともありますが、基礎練でも楽しみながらいろいろ試してみて、基本をしっかり身につけていこうと思います。
これからまた楽しく頑張ります、ありがとうございます！
ご丁寧にありがとうございます！プロ目指して頑張ってください。SNSも十分効果的に活用しましょう！
個人レッスンを受けるのがベストです。バークリーはとっても素晴らしいところです。
The nice thing with this progression which is the beginning of "Rhythm changes".You can play simple bluesy with lot's off Feel or play the changes like the jazz guys do with çhord tones and alterations on the dominant chords, always a great study. A fine jam, greetings Vic.
Just I VI II V so it could be pop, country or jazz! Thanks!
@@TomoFujitaMusic
Or jazz Tomo, depend how you play over it
This is my new favourite series to watch
Thanks!
Tasteful AF... love this blend of Jazz and Blues...
Thanks!
I wish every starting musician had a teacher like you! Great stuff : )
Thank you!
Amazing playing Tommo: great mix of blues and jazz style! Will you do a lesson on Spread/Open voice triads?
Thank you! I would love to do more triad lessons!
So happy the JM PRS has 7.25" radius

Thanks! Just 1625 chord changes that Zack taught me this... I was just following him musically!
Alright he looks and makes guitar faces too much like John Mayer 😂
Haha no one can make faces like john mayer tho.. abhahaha he's in his own league of guitar faces😅
Dude he’s just playing, let him vibe.
It’s the first thing tomo teaches
@@lukapierson1854 what? The inscrutable oriental visage exposed in 12 bars.
Wait that’s not John Mayer?
Dang yall got hella style
Thanks!
The way you bend strings is amazing
Thanks!
Ahh, yes. I'm a fan of you both! Thanks for letting us be a fly on the wall, so much to learn from this video.

Thank you! I teach Guitar Wisdom site!
This is extraordinary!
Thank you!
Probably gonna sound stupid here but what chords are Zack playing?
Good question! If you don't know each chords, how can you solo on?
Can you hear G ...E7...A-7...D7...?
Would love if you could put some of your jam sessions on Spotify or something
I don't have Spotify so I have no idea!
@@TomoFujitaMusic No need to if you could make music like this lmao
Wow they are both great! ButTomo god damn!
Thanks!
Love this, really awesome!!
Thanks!
Nice jam. Tried to learn some of those tasty licks by ear, got some of them but took me time I don't have.
Thanks! You need to train your ears so you can learn music better.
It's all about preparation!
How about now? :)
Very good work guys 😆
Thanks!
What time are you guys playing in? Budding guitarist not even 6 months in- trying to build foundation right and play in time. Just trying to jam to this the right way! Thanks for posting this!
love it
Thanks!
👏👏👏
Thanks!
That was badass
Thanks!
Sick playing! Love from Germany :^)

Don't worry
Don't compare
Don't expect too fast
Be kind to yourself
A bit of triads, chord tone, chromaticism etc.
@@TomoFujitaMusic do u have a commendation of how to get started with that sound?
@@SaintMiddleton listen to some jazz and you'll play it without realising
2:05 OMG
Thank you!
love it! What are the turnaround chords?
Simple!
What chords are being played in the progression?
Simple chords! Ask Zack!
G C Am D
What’s the name of this tune because I want to jam to it
No name. Just a jam
Wow
Thanks!
What is that walk Zack keeps on doing with the chords?
Maybe Zack can answer that!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Right thanks, think I figured it out
He's got the Mayer thuuuuumb
Bonjour professeur j aurai bien aimé avoir ce court dans winsdow music
if you put this video in 1.5 (velocity) it's a completely new role
👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks!
What is this style called
Sounds a bit of jazzz
But im confused
Don't worry! I will ask Zack at my Thursday Morning Coffee Chats on my Instagram LIVE (10am EST)
Este es tu mejor alumno
¡Cada estudiante es mi mejor estudiante!
like a bluesy jack johnson tune! I want some banana pancakes.
i wish i have a teacher in guitar
Thank you! We all need a great teacher or a great mentor for going right direction!
thanks for responce great and very talented Mr. God bless you more and more
Guitar Wisdom site tomovhxtv.vhx.tv/
Yeah !! very Nice :)
Thanks!
Internet guitar community: 7.25” can’t handle big bends
PRS & Tomo: Hold my beer
Thank you!
TomoFujitaMusic i hope i may ask... do you have a higher action, is the fretwork impeccable, how does this work for you?
I had a strat with the same radius and found it harder to keep the note ringing in a bend. After a few months (i play everyday, guitar was second hand Fender) the frets got flatter, which Made it unplayable so... is sold it
2mm from the strings to the fret at 12th fret. This way, it's better for TONE, muting, bending and all that.
TomoFujitaMusic Thank you for taking the time to anwsering!
Getting a ruler as we sprak :)
So cleeean
Thanks!
Please show teachers hands aswell
Why i heard like " I III IV V" on bass ?
It's a common substitution, like III-VI-II-V.
Do you offer any lessons via Skype?
Yes. Please email me at music@tomofujita.com
I have some opening on this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
1:20 😳
What the heck is that? I'm realizing I got a bunch of firewood over here
生徒思いの先生ですねS.S。
ありがとうございます！
He looks like john mayer
We all look alike!

Are you à sorcer ?
