Dear Mr. Fujita This is the one, guitar wisdom here I come. 65 years old, been playing the guitar almost every day for 50 years, not gifted, not talented, never be great but it’s a big part of my life. I learnt from chord windows, then tab, both really useful in the beginning but they box you in on the sly. I once played a piece, as best I could, to a professional musician, (who you know) he said “that’s great, now play it another way” I couldn’t because I didn’t understand what I was playing. This completely brought home the failings of tab and made me realise the need for a bit of theory to help me work out what chords I was playing. Hopefully I would then be able to identify chords and scales in different places on the fretboard. Work in progress, I can often find the chord but struggle to give it a name. Your RUclips videos, particularly the triad ones, have been inspirational but this one has made me decide to take the plunge and give up a lunch a month. Maybe I will become a better player and slimmer too! Both would be helpful. If only I had your advice 40 years ago, don’t compare, don’t expect too much too soon, be kind to yourself. But, it’s never too late to learn so huge thanks for making your expert tuition and great philosophy available to everyone, especially me. Looking forward to the journey.
Thank you so much for your kind words! You made my day!! I love sharing teaching fun journey of guitar playing. My Guitar Wisdom is simply my passion where I want to give it back to others. Myself, I wasn't talented or gifted! I had a worst time feel and no sense of pitches but I thank to all my teachers who believed in me and I just kept working on guitar playing without expectation. I did not believe any fast magic! I believed what takes to accomplish something great. We equally have 24 hours a day. But we feel different way, we use it different way... but I believe we all have this chance equally!
@@TomoFujitaMusic yes you are a normal guy, in the same sense that the Taj Mahal is a normal building. We love these lessons keep up the great work mate!
@@TomoFujitaMusic If you can bounce it off a white wall then that is probably the easiest way to get that effect :) Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions (I am a few experiments ahead of you)
I stopped looking at tabs many years ago. I am self taught and when I was young and discovered tabs I was able to learn and play some song that i like. But I agree you don't really learn theory and application. You get kind of boxed in and limited. It really pays to have a strong foundation and patience when familiarizing yourself with the chords. Right now Im getting back at playing guitar and strenghtening my basics. I play now with more feeling and can jam unlike before I just look at tabs haha .
Tabs okay... if you understand there are other possibilities but if you rely on visual shapes. You are missing a lot of treasures! Good job!! I am so happy for you... just in case....

Gorgy Porgy I’m in a similar situation. Learned guitar and piano as a kid. But then I was “forced” to be a drummer for 16 years 😂 .. but now I’m back to learning the guitar as good as I possibly can! If you want to learn more of basically everything on guitar, I strongly recommend Guitar Wisdom
Thanks Tomo. I've been a guitar player for like 20 years and only within the last year broken through the plateau to start becoming more of a musician from the help of lessons like these.
Great to hear! Thank you! Please join my Guitar Wisdom. I teach everything there! Only $9.99 a month subscription video lessons so all you have to do is skip one lunch a month!
Dear Mr. Fujita, I'm thoroughly enjoying every single video that you posted. I wish I could have seen this channel 5-7 years ago. So much of wisdom & knowledge. Thank you Sir!
Tomo, just subscribed to your guitar wisdom course, cannot even begin to explain how excited I am to use you wealth of knowledge to expand my ability to play the guitar. From someone who could never afford to go to college for music or guitar lessons, thank you so much for providing this to me and anyone else who chooses to subscribe.
4:53 idk why but when you said, "I'm looking at you" it made me smile so much 😊 you are such a fantastic person and teacher thank you so much for the free education. You'll probably see me thank you from my 2 accounts over and over 😭
Tomo you really are THE BEST. I can’t explain my life story here but, this just came to me at the perfect time and place in my life and I just need to say thank you and I hope you see this. You really might have changed my life today.
I thought to myself “Hmm why does that Emaj7 chord sound so familiar?” then I realized it was the intro chord to St. Patrick’s Day by John Mayer! Thank you for the lesson, Tomo.
I think the opening chord of St. Patrick's Day is actually an Emaj9 because that F# is so prominent. But yeah I also get this phenomenon, it's like the absolute worst form of perfect pitch because I can identify the chord only if it's voiced identical to another song where it's featured prominently, e.g. the opening chord of St. Patrick's Day.
Nice guitar! Don't worry, I am the EXACT same way Tomo, when I buy something for myself, I take a deep dive & go all in like you do. I have to constantly remind myself to have balance but I struggle with that
I have learn so much chords just by looking at his finger. as if I knew the chords were but I don't. it sounds good, it moves me, and it inspires me to play, I love this type of lesson. THANK YOU.
Those first two chords - gorgeous. I always played it with C#mi7 at 4th fret on A string, then F#13 with root on F# E string - I much prefer your C#mi11 and F#13 voicing. Thanks so much. I hope you get satisfaction knowing you are helping us enjoy our playing more.
Hi Tomo, I absolutely love the chord voicings since they are challenging and extremely fun to play! As a drummer I really dig your right hand strumming rhythms! This song is a fantastic choice as you teach/ play it so well! Domo Arigato!
This song sounds very good as a guitar version, and of course if you play it🙂. Never listened much to Stevie Wonder, but I know he is a genius when it comes to music and he can play about every instrument. Great tribute to Stevie👏👏👏👍
I think this is the best lesson I have seen on RUclips. In this one short lesson I learned about listening, theory, improvisation and joy of music, that was masterful teaching. Thank you Tomo.
You can tell this guy used a metronome a lot during his early years of practise. His timing is as consistent as that of a Swiss Watch.... Never heard a 'Cort Acoustic' sound so good before ❗
You are right! When I was 14-15... I could play things but I just didn't have any TIME FEEL part... so I had to work on that weakness. Metronome was a huge help!! This one is Collings OM2H Traditional.
@@TomoFujitaMusic Bravo Master Tomo! Can we hear about your search for the Collings? You were talking about looking for a good vintage Martin, and I think many people would love to hear you discuss the reasons for acquiring the Collings. I have a Martin, and want to post you a vid of my playing this song. Thank you Tomo!
@@angelg8445 I wish I can share my search on a great acoustic guitar. This can influence what to buy... I am not sure ... let me think about it. Thank you!

Man tomo, your chord vocabulary & fast smooth chord transitions are very impressive, it really gives me inspiration to work harder & study music more than I have been lately. Thank you for these videos
After 19 years of playing guitar, I've finally deciced to level up by learning more about theorie. This is a perfect song for me with perfects chords to practice and nice melody. I definetly subscribe your channel
I’m not sure what kinda of lighting setup you have, but there’s a couple things you can try. One moving the light to be above the height of your head or off to the side could help. As long as you have a bright room and you don’t turn to face the light. Another option that tends to work well if your closer to a wall is turning the light source to the wall so it bounces off the wall. That should soften the lighting and help you avoid the glare on your glasses.
i love your energy and teaching style, I had been trying to learn this song off and on for a while and this has really helped. Its one thing to learn, another to to understand. I always enjoys ur vids. Thank You
I have learn this! Some chords i made Easier but i love to play it. Strumming acoustic Tomo style is just something else. Good pattern I have learn so much from You Tomo. Im happy and thankfull. Thank you so much.
Hello sir!! I just watched your long video for the first time, and you really seem friendly, fun, and also interactive with your viewers. The way that you dont cut any of your video is just cool and not gonna lie tho, you are significantly better than my current music teacher at school. Also I think you're right about the tabs thing. But anyways, thank you for reading, stay safe and healthy, God bless you. (I subbed!
Thank you so much! So happy you like the video! You're very welcome! I make these videos as same as I teach in private lessons. No edited! More real, LIVE!
This lesson is so much information, especially the F#7(13)/E and G#7(b13). I have to learn about them, where they come from, how to use them... Thank you sensei for this lesson.
Thank you!! Please join my Guitar Wisdom. I teach everything there! Only $9.99 a month subscription video lessons so all you have to do is skip one lunch a month!

Thankyou so much for this lesson it was very insightful. The part where you played rhythm changes by ear was very informative thankyou for the lesson Tomo ji ❤🙏
That’s such a classic walk up from the F#-7! Great for any musician to have that in their bag of tricks! Edit: that double dot on the ninth fret had me confused for a second at the beginning haha
Great voicing for great progression. Thanks, I learn a lot . I'd just like to point the last EM7 add2 voicing ( before Ebm7b5 - G#7b13) end in the 7th and this note, D# clash with the E note of the riff before the melody starts again.
Tomo Sensei, Arigato Gozaimas! You teach so many things out here and I can explore the rest on my own. Hopefully ,I can subscribe to your music classes very soon.
or its just your favourite song to practice xD ive seen you post at least a dozen isnt she lovely videos. Jokes apart, i do love watching every oone of them mainly cause i love the song and i love your videos haha
I love the way you play with so much joy and expressiveness...thank you for sharing your time and talent ..great advice as well...you are very good my friend....

Tomo's influence on the guitar community is insane. Tomo is probably the most famous guitar teacher right now.
Thank you so much!
You definitely are not a human Tomo. You are an angel sent to play all the chords
Thank you!! I am a normal guy!
@@TomoFujitaMusic yes you are a normal guy, in the same sense that the Taj Mahal is a normal building. We love these lessons keep up the great work mate!
Thanks so much!
You can move the lights slightly off to the side to get less glare in your glasses (Tip from a spectacle-stricken RUclips guitarist 😀)
Or bounce it of the wall/ceiling but then it needs to be a light that is powerful enough
Thanks for your suggestion! I did that but I still need to tweak a little,
@@TomoFujitaMusic If you can bounce it off a white wall then that is probably the easiest way to get that effect :) Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions (I am a few experiments ahead of you)

Also “No Such Thing”. Although, he uses a slightly different voicing.

Well said! Thank you!
"Tell me if I have to slow down more"
Wish we could Tommo, wish we could
hahaha, just put the video at x0,75
Thank you! I can slow down more!
You can slow it down in the drop down or you can watch it over as many times as you wish for free!!!
Ha ha "I am a human and entitled to hit the wrong note," truer words have never been said -- very awesome! Beautiful changes
Thank you!
This has got to be one of the best chord progressions of all time, keep up good work tomo
Thank you!
Thanks for teaching. I will be adding this to what I play on the streets

That’s such a classic walk up from the F#-7! Great for any musician to have that in their bag of tricks! Edit: that double dot on the ninth fret had me confused for a second at the beginning haha
Glad you enjoyed it!

Great voicing for great progression. Thanks, I learn a lot . I'd just like to point the last EM7 add2 voicing ( before Ebm7b5 - G#7b13) end in the 7th and this note, D# clash with the E note of the riff before the melody starts again.
