I’m a drummer that just got into guitar. I’m a big fan of your music and you’re one of the biggest reasons why I want to get into funk when I’m good enough. Please never stop what you’re doing
One funky drummer on this classic, he’s tight! And Will Lee on bass! Solo on the breakdown. Tomo plays a colorful palette of tones and melodies-these guys are outstanding!
This band is simply amazing! I cannot believe that I can do this with these amazing musicians! I am so fortunate and grateful! I love Shawn Pelton's drumming! Thank you so much!
"Get the funk outta my face..." No one plunks the funk like you, Mr. Tomo... I'm loving this series of live performances... Thanx so very much and with coffee in hand I'm, giving you a toast... Cheers, mon
That was great! Thank you very much! This is one of the tunes I make use of when teaching. I've referred a few students to it recently as an excellent study. 😎🎸👍
Thank you so much! You can prepare this! Listen to the original recording! Listen same song for many days! So music will live inside of you! That way you can bring music out of you!
The two hand signals were the letter "C" and 2 fingers pointing downwards, meaning the key with 2 flats (B flat). Bassist was asking which key they were going to play in. Tomo answered with "C".
Can anyone explain Will Lee's hand signal at the beginning? It looks like he's motioning C and then 2 down fingers (2 flats) so I'm confused if it's the key of C or Bb. It looks like they're all cruisin on C in the beginning...
i love watching drummers, they always seem like they are having the time of their lives. It makes me smile every time
So happy to hear that! Thank you!
drummers are awesome, bassists... uhhh 🤣
Yes! Shawn Pelton & Will Lee = Badass Rhythm Section!! @@raoulduke8720

Cissy Strut is always an excellent choice, and this super group of superb musicians absolutely rocks it!
Yes! Thank you!
Will Lee, truly the biggest influence on me. Not just as a bass player, but as an all around musician
So happy to hear that! I love Will Lee so much! He calls all of sudden and it’s always fun taking with him too!

Haha awesome, thanks for posting so much!
Listened through twice cause that was great, where were you performing?
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching!
So happy to hear that! No plan yet! Please follow my Instagram & my news letter!
To most guitar players, clips like this are simultaneously inspiring AND depressing….
Thank you so much!
Sweet funky music, guys!
Thank you so much!
Haaa Tomo and Oz ......
Thank you!
Tomo, you just exude pure musical enjoyment. Great playing as always!
Thank you so much! This band is so amazing!
The guitarists are great, but the drums really drive this - great playing.
Thank you so much! Shawn Pelton! He is the best in this business! The Saturday Night Live!
Tomo n Oz!
Yes! Fun!
Fantastic performance prof. Tomo and your band! Would you make a lesson on it one day in Guitar Wisdom?
Thank you so much! A lot of funk lessons at my Guitar Wisdom!
from new orleans ... Ayyyyyyy Eeeee . Meters , throw out some Vidachovich.
Thank you so much!
Does anyone know the right side guitarist's playing style?
Sounds sick!
Please look up! Oz Noy! He plays jazz, blues, and everything!
@@TomoFujitaMusic get it!
My favourite meters jam! Random question but is the guy on the far right one of the guitarists for scary pockets?
Thank you so much! Tomo Fujita on the left & Oz Noy on the right
First to comment...leave a like when u visit....nice instruments
Thank you so much!
Nice drum recording, too.
Thanks for listening! Thank you!
Awesome Tomo! What did the hand gestures in the beginning mean?
The two hand signals were the letter "C" and 2 fingers pointing downwards, meaning the key with 2 flats (B flat). Bassist was asking which key they were going to play in. Tomo answered with "C".
Will was asking what key? C or A.... with hands (just in case!)
Two fingers downward was A ... then I gave C!
Love a high strap bass, but rotate the neck skyward to avoid bending tendons on right wrist so much.
Thank you for sharing! Both guitar & bass, very important to use less tension on left hand! Soft as possible!
Can anyone explain Will Lee's hand signal at the beginning? It looks like he's motioning C and then 2 down fingers (2 flats) so I'm confused if it's the key of C or Bb. It looks like they're all cruisin on C in the beginning...
He was asking me "Key of A?" I said with my finger "No it's in C!" In general... this song is played in key of C or A.... No Bb
Two down or two up... that's too intellectual!
Is that the Bruno Mars Strat? Sounds great.
No. Kanji guitar hardtail by Kanji Kawabata. Yes! Amazing hand craft!
Is that a genuine Ludwig concrete block?
Very special one indeed!
