Awesome funk guitar on a Gibson J45. That is a mark of a true musician. Also, you stated that this is not part of the lesson. Seems to me that everything I see on your videos is an important lesson. Thank you Tomo for starting my 2021 with some great inspiration.....

There at 6 minutes in.. playing with metronome banging on 2 and 4, is powerful powerful stuff.- it truly develops time feel, have been doing this for years when practicing, and try to tell people to check it out. It’s magic. Any pocket I have is largely from this (and getting to play with the right drummers) If you can swing a metronome you’re 95% of the way there.
Tomo that was very insightful thank you! Please do a lesson on the funky progression you played that was "nothing to do with the lesson" it was amazing!! And I think a video about the different patterns you have for each tempo that you discussed would be a great follow on. Thank you so much for your content! It helps so much!

Y'all takin' us to Funk City, Fujita-san! I love blues and flamenco, but after hearing this, I'll think I'd rather start over with a focus on funk. This makes me want to get up and dance, and I think will be the basis of my reintroduction to guitar. If it ain't got that swing, it don't mean a thing! Thanks for sharing! Chiba-ken Home Girl
It might be even better if it mirrored or extended any system you have in guitar wisdom. I was xhecking on your website and didn't find it easy to match to lessons. However great stuff. Thank you.

I love that funk stuff . We’re you playing guitar in early 80s? I started 80 81 I turn 55 in oct. But my influences Black Sabbath, priest, scorpions. From watching your videos sounds like you could play for earth wind fire, funkadelic, parliament. Amazing funk playing you create from basic 1 4 5 chords your rhythm right hand is bad ass..You also play jazz stuff way over my head. Im not even trying and learning stuff from watching your vids already. I think it’s because you’ll play through not say anything show exactly what your doing on fretboard. You don’t talk lot, you just play. and that is best thing.. I really appreciate that because Im learning from you fast'!! No turtle
Thank you! I was born in 1965 and started playing guitar in 1978. Jazz is great tool to improve as better guitarist. Even playing other style of music. Jazz is very effective to learn.

Hi Tomo, your videos here are so helpful. This rhythm lesson is excellent. I have always struggled with rhythm, especially the timing aspect. So that, along with chord melody and smooth seemless transition between chords... both the chords themselves and the lead playing. Getting a better handle on those things is my goal for 2021. Thank you for all that you do!

Instead of a metronome, I have a multi effects pedal (ZOOM G1X FOUR) which has dozens of preprogrammed rhythm tracks using real drums, in every style including Jazz, Blues, Country, Funk, and so forth. Of course it also can do just plain metronome. I find I don’t play as well with a metronome, that it’s distracting, but with these drum loops I play much better because it has the feel of the styles of music I’m playing or practicing.

Hey Tomo! Question about your routine... diet and exercise routine that is 😂 How are you able to stay thin during the pandemic? I've gained 10 pounds since it all started 🤦🏻♂️ Much love and thank you for your lessons and GW!
That's very important! Sleep well! Eat well! But don't eat too full! No snacks! I do a lot of exercises, stretching, workout! Thank you so much!! Thanks for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom!!
hey mr.Tomo, you're the real one out here. I truly love your work from the core of my heart. Thanks for being there and thanks for making this world a better place. Since you're a teacher at berklee and a musician i'd like to ask you..what is it like? Is the struggle as bad? I recently started playing guitar and i'll be 16 soon. I want to be a musician and live my life delving into the depths of music. I know it's a really hard and tough life but i'm ready for the struggle. It would be of great help if you could suggest as to how i can make it big in this field? also my goal right now is to get into berklee. I've subscribed to your guitar wisdom lessons. How much should i practice? What should i do to get in? and is it possible to get in after only practicing for 2 years? I know these are a lot of questions but if you can be so kind to answer them it can change my life. Thank you!
Yes I can do the chords progression and have built it into (and the chromatics) into my practice routine - Thanks 😊 .... oh and I’m 59! (Started at 58!) 😉

You're welcome! Let's say you are playing with a metronome at 120 per beat. Then 60 at 2&4... more room you get, you can play many different feel. Many reasons but you don't need to do anything if you are not into! All choices.
I was wondering one thing. I can play certain licks 150 bpm 16th notes, never went past that point. What is the fastest way to increase speed for learning new patterns or licks? I have experimented with 100 bpm metronome at first, so extremely slowly and perfectly. Within few days I could play 100 bpm 8th notes and the speed would come actually pretty fast. Is there a better way or more efficient way to increase speed?

Love your chops,
Thanks!
Franz! I have one just like that but all black. Looks good and it's very reliable.
Thanks!
Y'all takin' us to Funk City, Fujita-san! I love blues and flamenco, but after hearing this, I'll think I'd rather start over with a focus on funk. This makes me want to get up and dance, and I think will be the basis of my reintroduction to guitar. If it ain't got that swing, it don't mean a thing! Thanks for sharing! Chiba-ken Home Girl
Thank you!
Finally. A filing system we can all use.

8:45 is an improvisation jam? Is really good, i like so much the chords you choose and the funky rhythm
That's my original song JUST FUNKY
Thank you!
@@TomoFujitaMusic No wonder it sounded familiar to me, I couldn't recognize the song because of the acoustic guitar, I think I like this version more in acoustic, it has like another touch (I did not know how to translate otherwise have another touch haha)
Great lesson Tomo many thanks

Hey sensei,can you please make a playlist of all your practice exercises related videos?? That would be great...
Thank you!
I love that funk stuff . We’re you playing guitar in early 80s? I started 80 81 I turn 55 in oct. But my influences Black Sabbath, priest, scorpions. From watching your videos sounds like you could play for earth wind fire, funkadelic, parliament. Amazing funk playing you create from basic 1 4 5 chords your rhythm right hand is bad ass..You also play jazz stuff way over my head. Im not even trying and learning stuff from watching your vids already. I think it’s because you’ll play through not say anything show exactly what your doing on fretboard. You don’t talk lot, you just play. and that is best thing.. I really appreciate that because Im learning from you fast'!! No turtle
Thank you! I was born in 1965 and started playing guitar in 1978. Jazz is great tool to improve as better guitarist. Even playing other style of music. Jazz is very effective to learn.

Hi Tomo, your videos here are so helpful. This rhythm lesson is excellent. I have always struggled with rhythm, especially the timing aspect. So that, along with chord melody and smooth seemless transition between chords... both the chords themselves and the lead playing. Getting a better handle on those things is my goal for 2021. Thank you for all that you do!

Thank you :)
You're welcome!
Instead of a metronome, I have a multi effects pedal (ZOOM G1X FOUR) which has dozens of preprogrammed rhythm tracks using real drums, in every style including Jazz, Blues, Country, Funk, and so forth. Of course it also can do just plain metronome. I find I don’t play as well with a metronome, that it’s distracting, but with these drum loops I play much better because it has the feel of the styles of music I’m playing or practicing.
I love a J-45 sound and scale length and feel. Just wish I could afford one. Does anyone feel like the new epiphone J-45 captures the same vibe?
Thank you!! Great guitar!
Great! Can the metronome also been seen as to click on the 1 and 3? How does that change the lessen?
Don't worry! Don't compare! Don't expect too fast! Be kind to yourself!

Hey Tomo! Question about your routine... diet and exercise routine that is 😂 How are you able to stay thin during the pandemic? I've gained 10 pounds since it all started 🤦🏻♂️ Much love and thank you for your lessons and GW!
That's very important! Sleep well! Eat well! But don't eat too full! No snacks!
I do a lot of exercises, stretching, workout! Thank you so much!! Thanks for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom!!
@@TomoFujitaMusic I'll keep that in mind! Thank you 🙏🏻
Tomo, what is the brand/model of the metronome you showed on your video?
Frantz
hey mr.Tomo,
you're the real one out here. I truly love your work from the core of my heart. Thanks for being there and thanks for making this world a better place. Since you're a teacher at berklee and a musician i'd like to ask you..what is it like? Is the struggle as bad?
I recently started playing guitar and i'll be 16 soon. I want to be a musician and live my life delving into the depths of music. I know it's a really hard and tough life but i'm ready for the struggle. It would be of great help if you could suggest as to how i can make it big in this field? also my goal right now is to get into berklee. I've subscribed to your guitar wisdom lessons. How much should i practice? What should i do to get in? and is it possible to get in after only practicing for 2 years? I know these are a lot of questions but if you can be so kind to answer them it can change my life. Thank you!
Thanks so much!! Please join my Guitar Wisdom for learning proper guitar skills.
Yes I can do the chords progression and have built it into (and the chromatics) into my practice routine - Thanks 😊 .... oh and I’m 59! (Started at 58!) 😉

Thanks, Tomo. Do you think it's better practicing with the metronome set up at half speed so the clicks hit at 2 and 4? Why?
You're welcome! Let's say you are playing with a metronome at 120 per beat. Then 60 at 2&4... more room you get, you can play many different feel. Many reasons but you don't need to do anything if you are not into!
All choices.
@@TomoFujitaMusic Thank you. I kind of understand, let's say it's about timing but being free to swing or funk :D
For slow tempo, it’s good to practice metronome on every beat (50-80)
@@TomoFujitaMusic Thanks!!!
I was wondering one thing. I can play certain licks 150 bpm 16th notes, never went past that point. What is the fastest way to increase speed for learning new patterns or licks? I have experimented with 100 bpm metronome at first, so extremely slowly and perfectly. Within few days I could play 100 bpm 8th notes and the speed would come actually pretty fast. Is there a better way or more efficient way to increase speed?
Play it slow with more details and less pressure to use!
I have a drum loop app on my phone. Is it better to use a metronome for practicing technique, or is the drums loops just as good?
Simple is best! Metronome you can work on more!
I love that there’s no editing!
Thank you! I just press twice!
Hey Tomo.. What pick are you using hear, medium or soft?
I always use Pickboy 1.00 pick!
Don’t worry
Don’t compare
Don’t expect too fast
Be kind to yourself

Why has someone not made a montage of him saying some great lines
"Im using this metronome because I like it, it looks good"

Which part are you talking about?
