I hope the people watching your lessons realize how much you are teaching them. You teach how to understand and play. Keep it up.

Gotta love this “super simple” series of videos. Initially I started watching the videos on this channel because of how smooth Mr. Fujita sounds, but recently I’ve actually been able to understand the videos, which has been great!

Tomo understands the world so much yet he chose to be so kind and humble person. Thank you Tomo, you really inspire me to be better player and to be a better human being also.

A day without reviewing is a like a day without sunshine! Thanks for helping us focus and keeping it fresh and fun.

Tomo is definitely a legend in his own right 🎉🎉😅

I have not been honest with my music or myself because I never actually learned music, I only learned to "play" repeated, memorized concepts and scales. And because of that, I have always struggled to truly 'hear the intervals', which has always made it difficult for me to translate the intervals to the fingerboard. I think that approach also makes me slower to learn new concepts. I am very thankful for your videos as they have been extremely helpful in my effort to properly learn music/guitar theory. Your approach to thinking and the grace with which you present it have affected multiple facets of my life. Thank you.

The true lessons are on the short stories you tell and how it taught you more and understand more in music.

Always enjoying your lessons, especially the theory!✌

Really enjoying your lessons and especially the work on triads lately. Thank you for such clear explanation and the approach and delivery of the lesson too. Dean.

This vid is really top material! Tomo you are a star!

You're such a great teacher and an incredible human being! I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to learn from you. Thank you for your work, Mr. Fujita🙏

very helpful sensei tomo! fundamentals at its best!

Yes I understand. Working on it. Thank you so much.

im trying to get into uni for music and I want to say your lessons have been helping understand theory completely, can't wait to start this one!

Thank you for these videos, professor

So happy to have discovered this channel. I have been playing for 30 years now, but I always feel like there is something wrong with my playing. I was so focused about the technique, alternate/sweep/economy/hybrid picking, legato, tapping... I am into metal and I felt I needed those technics... And there are so many of those, and my models play so fast... Then, I reach a point where I can play fast and clean but I can't do a simple jam with people and come with something musically interesting. So now, I am trying to build some solid foundations, and the way you approach things is exactly what I needed. Play simple, learn just a bit each day... And after a couple of weeks only, I feel like a completely different musician. Why do we, self-taught have to realize so late that learning with tablatures and chords/scales shape was not the way to go 😅 Thank you very much from France

Thank you Mr. Fujita.

great lesson Wow You are a great Teacher n Full of Wisdom

So nice simple clear and precise method of explaining you have...superb ! I learnt all by ear listening to audio tapes... ff n rev all the time 😺. Performed possibly 000s shows since 1999 but Wish I was 30 yrs younger n in your school... alas that time has gone .... but this is so refreshing n easy ... awesome @tomo bro !! Happy that I got all the triad sounds in the exercise..almost immdtly....feels good !

I love this!! Thank you...this is good practice

The legend who help with the azes 😍😍😍😍 Hope one day i can keep calm like you and play so smooth like you.. Thanks for your efforts.. Thank you sooo much ❤️❤️

Excellent lesson thanks 👍

So far i understand, but im still see it as pattern, guess its bad habit from beginning learning guitar courses

Always good stuff. Thanks 😊

Smooth Tomo...thank you!!

You Never let us down ..tomo😊😊😊😊thanks mý friend🎉😊

Beautiful.

Theory is incredible, and is available to all who want to get into it. Quite a good lesson man!

Mr. Tomo, Thank you for your generosity! Im having so much more fun. Seems like I wasted years. Im really catching on to the actual musicality of the instrument and I feel so much better. Triads make you a better person. Who said that? You sir, like Mr. Miaggi.... The Berkley people are so lucky to have you ..

Lovely lesson on the triads. Only now are they making sense and now I can play them all over the fretboard (Slowly!) and with full understanding of what I'm doing. Thanks so much.

Oh yeah, Tomo! Thank you! Very love "your" triads, how you follow changes - love your music! (Sorry, not very good English)

GREAT STUFF..!!! 👍🏼❤️

50 yrs ago my guitar mentor told me , , you can either pretend or you can practice and know for sure : ) thank you for the free lesson : )

Thanks Tomo Sensei

It doesn't matter how slowly you go as long as you don't stop. I learnd and still learn a lot here and on "Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom", Thank you for all your advices Mr Fujita.

Great lesson again.I have book now,really good idea.I can see why you are so successful teacher at berklee.So much fun learning. 👍😀

Thanks for sharing..

The melody😍

Very melodic stuff

The intro is literally him playing wading in the velvet sea by phish and I couldn't be happier to hear it

Good Morning Tomo Have a great day🙂

Playing a steel style on a standard axe is tricky as each guitar is different. I'm better on some than I am on others. Keep shining :)

Guitar gathering KZfaq channel has the best triad videos with a pdf. Pass it on

It let me be the thousandth like. Memorable triad moment. Loved Kyoto. One week on my way to Thailand and Nepal Spring '02. I have precious memories and disposable camera photos. Wish i would have had a decent camera phone back then lol. Thanks for sharing. Your impact is immeasurable. Pure spirit. Much wisdom and you are a true teacher, and doer. Thank you friend/Sinsei. Youre a jedi.

LOVE LOVE YOU😀😀😀

Unbelievable ! No neck pickup 😲 haha. Thanks for the video !

Tomo, I have a good idea for your perfecting your guitar wisdom. Have a nephew ( basically any beginner) try your course and you basically watch them learn off your lessons and see if where they can progress easily and where they get stuck. Then you know where some parts of your course needs reworking or more indepth videos and where you had very good lessons so you can use same strategy/teaching for new lessons. It might take some time but I think watching someone learn in real time and being able to interact them would help you understand how to teach even better. Have a good day!

Master Tomo creating an army of slow turtles to learn and play triads is a great thought. 🙏❤️

Ah love this knowledge dropping and the bonus is hearing the playing. This video will be repeated until I get this. Slowest turtle in the world wins LOL

You are enjoying

I noticed the distance between the 5th and the flat7 is a minor third (m3) apart! So as a challenge, I made the V triads dominant!

Awesome video as always, Tomo. Thanks for sharing! Which AZES is this one? I haven't seen the SSS come in this awesome blue. It looks great

Tomo, I'm working on these but i don't get as much time on the guitar as I'd like so sometimes I'm just writing on my notebook from memory the circle of fifths and then working out the intervals for each key and then pulling the triad out of that. This helps me see the way triads are formed. But my problem is when i go to play them. I am still learning the notes on the fretboard so it takes a lot of time figuring out finger placement for each triad. I know this can be a good way to learn the fretboard at the same time but i never feel like i get far enough to make much progress.

So awesome!! Please tell us the secret to how you using the triads for those Mayer/Frusciante/Hendrix style fills. I've learnt the triads all over the neck but am missing something I'm sure.

Woah

genuine af

Howdy, Tomo! Hope you’re doing well today. I’m curious about what you think about Elliott Smith? I’ve been listening to his music the majority of my life but now studying it…. It’s ridiculous. Have a good one!

So you can play rythem with triads if you wish is that right like what you played at first in this lesson i was also learnt long time ago shown if using say the pentatonic shape an move down 3 frets your in the remind me please tomo 😊😊😊thanks my friend 🎉😊great lessons

Another great lesson Tomo. Thanks a lot. So, extremely slow and learning this by heart, in all keys. Right?

🥰🥰🥰

Tell us about your Two Rock Signature amp.

Hello Tomo, A very good video, I managed to learn the major and minor triads on the first three strings. I can change them at an average speed, but I keep trying to improve my speed. I am a beginner but I want to start doing ear training. What knowledge do I need to have before I start doing ear training? Thank you!

Tomo; can you suggest a good all around electric guitar Tele; Strat I Notice you playing an Ibanez in this lesson on triads.

When going from major to minor triad, does the major 3rd note go down a half or full step? Thanks for posting. My first time with triads but I’m getting it.

Will you ever do a guitar giveaway? Just wondering

Sharp guitar, what model?

Tomo, where can I buy that kind of shirt?

Need to ask, how did you get the AZES31 in blue?

I don't know how to properly phrase this question.... How does one know where each triad is played? You move between 3 shapes but I don't understand how you know where each one is played?

hold up... that was super mario bros!!!!

Setting up camp here for a little while. 🏕🎸
