    Hi Tomo! I just discovered your channel recently and I love it! My dad went to Berklee in the late 90s before I was born. Im in school for aerospace engineering but still enjoy playing the guitar a ton (as you can imagine, with a lot of influence from my dad). I find your lessons to be very engaging and your playing style amazingly pleasant to listen to. Even though guitar is only a hobby for me I am working to improve as much as I can. Thank you!

    • @TomoFujitaMusic
      @TomoFujitaMusic  4 года назад +4

      So delighted to hear that! Guitar playing is for fun first! It doesn't really matter to be a professional or hobby. In a way, you can be good at guitar playing as high as get!! Actually I have been teaching a great Texas Blues Guitarist Sue Foley's son who is studying at MIT in Boston. You're welcome! My son is studying Chemistry at Johns Hopkins now! Keep playing guitar!!!

  • @johnnyrayvibe318
    @johnnyrayvibe318 4 года назад +8

      Typical problem is
      1) Don't have specific goals.
      2) Practice means, just go on RUclips to find any backing track and jam! (the most worst practice routine ever!!)
      3) ..... (You can write sometime here!) Thank you!!

    I'm 18 and I live far away from boston, in small russian city. It feels impossible to find any jazz teachers here. My dream is to leave this cold country and attend berklee, but of course i can't do it without scholarship. I've been playing guitar for 7 years and have good skills but theory and improvisation is something uncomfortable for me. The only thing i can do is play pentatonics. Would your guitar wisdom course help me at this point? Your story really inspired me, Tomo. You was poor foreigner as me, but you fulfilled your dream, so i can do it, too (especially with the internet haha!). Thank you, Tomo, for all free advices you give for us. Your youtube activity is priceless! So now i feel like i wanna pay for these advices and for lessons from your guitar wisdom

    I've been preparing for Berklee's college of music but then I ran into some personal problems that made me miss the process because I was busy. I watched this video today and realized how I only focused in the prepared piece and not improvisation. Thank you Tomo for opening my eyes hahaha, I will get a teacher as soon as possible! But everything happens for a reason so know I got more time to upgrade my skills and my equipment too!
    P.S: I'm 19 years old, is there any problem entering with 20 years?

      You're so young and there are a lot of possibilities. I went to Berklee when I was 21 (entered) but I got my scholarship when I was 19. It's audition so your improvisation (solo) on your preparing piece, better all thought out every details! You're welcome! Please watch my Berklee Audition videos (2 of them!!)

Your courses have helped me break out of my year long rut and I am beyond grateful to you for that! Now as I am getting more engulfed in music and my guitar, I started to get ideas of furthering my studies by perhaps going to study in Berklee! Hence why I’m commenting under this video haha but my question to you is I am interested in having maybe a few Skype lessons with you. Was wondering if you could be so kind to perhaps provide more info on your rates as well as availability and best way to contact you in regards to this matter.

      You're welcome! Don't decide right this moment! You have many choices and possibilities! Yes, there are many great guitar players. But nobody born with "talented" Talented means someone has been working ass off 24/7 on one specific goal with a lot of passion. Just like building a nice house! You need to make a solid foundation so that you can build something on top! You can make yourself to be "talented musician" if you committed to your goal with a lot of pure efforts!! You're very special being you and you have a lot of choices if you want to be!! Be positive no matter what!!

    Hi Mr. Fujita. Greeting from HK. I'm recently planning to apply the graduate programs of Berklee and I have certain questions to ask. I've been learning and playing piano since I was 5. Few years ago I started self-teaching electric guitar and I found that I was really passionate to guitar and sound engineering stuff like that. What I want to know is, is it possible taking the master of music in piano performance and also learning guitar skills and sound engineering skills at the same time? Because I want to be a versatile musician and learning more things about music industry. Thank you for the video. Have a nice day!

    Tomo - I love these lessons! They are without a doubt the most informational lessons on youtube. A couple years back, I auditioned for berklee and sadly didn't get in. Now, I go to Ohio State, which for me is an okay school, but I don't know what I'm doing when I'm not around music. I'm auditioning in December again for Ohio State's music program (even though it isn't amazing) and I was doing some research on the audition requirements only to find that they were harder than Berklee's! My question is, do you think it's even worth my time to go to this, or should I just audition for Berklee again?

    • @TomoFujitaMusic
      @TomoFujitaMusic  4 года назад

      That's so great to hear that. Thanks so much! Don't worry! Audition is all about proper preparation and sometime it doesn't work well. Then you can prepare more that the first time! You really need to study someone who really understand about Berklee College Of Music. You need to study someone really can help you to prepare proper way (at least 6 months or more!!)

      TomoFujitaMusic Tomo, thank you so much for the reply! I think I’m gonna invest in your online courses as well as seeing how that audition goes, it just looks like more technical stuff to me, as there are eight requirements. The one that scares me is playing some scales in all keys, which I don’t have memorized yet. I’ll figure something out for that, though. Thanks so much!

    • @TomoFujitaMusic

I already posted so many lessons include "Triads" "7th chords" "Ear Training" "Phrasing" "Blues" "Jazz Blues" Jazz Phrases" ...I put all my experiences and knowledges into my TFGW. I am making new videos today! More backing tracks (real performance by ME) are coming. Don't memorize! Understand them with degrees/colores. That's where all you need is to understand each triads over the fretboard! (Not CAGED system! Don't become under system CADED in!!)

    • @3v3ryDayGam3r
      @3v3ryDayGam3r 4 года назад +1

      TomoFujitaMusic Those phrasing lessons will certainly help because I need to break out of the pentatonic. Also, I’m glad that you don’t want people using CAGED, I thought about learning it before, but it seems limiting and doesn’t factor in things like modes.

      @YukiBajhiri 4 года назад +3

      I know this is an old comment but I just wanted to chime in here -- One MAJOR factor is to build an incredible network with a bunch of talented musicians along the way. There's no way you'll come across more people dedicated to their musicianship and art in one setting than in a talent-based college like Berklee. But you don't just build a network with your colleagues/peers: you would have personal connections to the teachers, such as masters in the field like Mr Fujita. And by extension, you'll then have access to an even crazier network of musicians that Mr Fujita knows. And it goes on and on...

    • @JohnOhkumaThiel
      @JohnOhkumaThiel 4 года назад +4

      This is hilarious. So how many Grammy awards do you have?
      Your number one mistake is thinking Berklee (not Berkeley) is a college of learning how to play your instrument well. That’s the least of it. It’s a college of music. There are students and people working in the music industry who don’t even play an instrument. Most of the time you are learning at Berklee, you are not even touching an instrument.
      Can you write music? Arrange music? Can I hand you something which has never been played by anyone before and you can sight read it in a studio setting so we can get you out of there in three takes or less? How many bands have you played in? How many other musicians have you played with?
      This question tells me both that you’re not nearly as amazing as you think you are, and are clueless about music and the music industry overall.
      And it’s the same with other ‘talent based’ colleges. If you go to a college of performing arts thinking you’ve already mastered it-music, art, acting, dance, you name it-you’re going to get your butt kicked and fail out.
      I’m a Berklee alumni, both student and staff, but I graduated from Harvard. Berklee was much harder than Harvard, because at Berklee you need to learn new knowledge and skills, and be able to perform them soon after.
      When you see a performing artist at the top of their profession like Eddie Van Halen or John Mayer, there’s a lot more to what makes them so amazing than their ability to play guitar. You’re seeing a tiny fraction of all that goes into their work. John Mayer, I knew him as a student; that kid was all work; no matter what he chose to do in life, he was going to be successful; it had less to do with how well he plays guitar than how hard he worked at everything else.

Only if I Have a almost full scholarship and even with that I would have to save years of money for only to go to boston and do my audition You know?. Which I think I’d get accepted because I’ve been studying since I was a kid both singing and playing piano. But I get sad of thinking the harsh way to get there! Like it’s always harsh and for almost everyone seems impossible. But for foreign is something even worse😂 But I really would love to go to berklee.
    One thing I think would help me is if I get into the college with the scholarship I need, I could earn some bucks with my music while studying in boston? Or something like that. Even another job just to pay and to survive in the city. Could you just help me with that?

    everyone is worried about not getting scholarship while I’m here worried about not getting accepted :(

    • @TomoFujitaMusic
      @TomoFujitaMusic  4 года назад +2

      First, very important following:
      Don't worry!
      Don't compare!
      Don't expect too fast!
      Be nice to yourself!
      If you don't anything, nothing will happen but if you do your pure hard work, then something possible to happen. That's you are looking for, planning now!!

    Why are triads so important?

    • @TomoFujitaMusic
      @TomoFujitaMusic  4 года назад +1

      It's simple yet very deep! You should discover them yourself!!

    Im 27. Can i enter this scholarship?

    • @TomoFujitaMusic
      @TomoFujitaMusic  4 года назад

      Yes, definitely!! As long as you prepared that. Then you should!

    Then why would you like to enter Berklee if you can play phrasing, arpeggio, triad, Lydian b7....ah for Hendrix licks!!

    • @TomoFujitaMusic
      @TomoFujitaMusic  4 года назад +3

      No matter what styles, what levels you are, we can learn more and more! I think the bottom line is personal deduction so its not so much about whether "better or not" It's just another option or opportunity!! My case, I only could go to Berklee if I got my scholarship! That's what I explained about how I did that part. Not only study guitar, you can meet people, experience culture and many thing!

    Their is alot you do not need to be a guitarist.most scales and arpeggios do not sound good.angus young knows 6 chords and pentatonic bluesy scales.and is famous highly succesfull.and is a multi millionaire.acdc and metallica is proof you do not need a guitar school

  • @mikebrownplayingguitar1253
    @mikebrownplayingguitar1253 2 года назад +1

    Another way to become a musician is to detune your istrument and play heavy riffs and power chords.get a drummer to play fast blast beats.and get a singer scream his guts out into a microphone.your better off doing that instead of berklee

  • @mikebrownplayingguitar1253
    @mikebrownplayingguitar1253 2 года назад +1

    You go to berklee and spend 200,000 dollars.and can get the same info for free off the internet.then you graduate and wind up in a cover band making 100 dollars a night.with a debt of 100,000 doallrs.any sane musician would be smart not to go to berklee

    • @TomoFujitaMusic
      @TomoFujitaMusic  2 года назад +1

      Free information (Internet) 50/50 quality information! One of my students (at Berklee) He makes $600-800 per gig (Wedding/Function gig) A few students of mine, I taught social media... they make really good income from RUclips and other things. So there are a lot of ways.

  • @mikebrownplayingguitar1253

    Going to berklee is a very dumb thing to do.average cost is 100,000 to 200,000 dollars.only 3 percent of musicians become acdc rich and big.with todays technology.you can learn any scale arpeggio or song ever written on the internet.the average working musician makes 18 to 24,000 dollars a year.berklee puts you in debt of 100,000 dollars

      When I went to Berklee in 1987. One semester was $2500!
      I got full scholarship. Without that I could not go to Berklee.
