Can you play this simple shuffle blues bassline? I wish you already knew this. Yes, this was one of things that I taught John Mayer in 1997-1998. John needed to know this so that he can make his picking technique so clean. Listen this carefully and learn this super clean picking technique.
Intro 00:00
A Shuffle Blues Bassline (Clean & no fills) 01:10
I taught John Mayer about this! (No picking noise) 02:29
Stevie Ray Vaughan Feel Fills with Blues Shuffle Bassline 04:29
Let's challenge with a metronome on 80 per beat 07:29
Sing any blues melodies while playing this bassline 09:25
Set your metronome at 40 on 2&4 11:55
Use blues melodies to improvise your solo 14:12
Singing phrase with bending 15:15
Double time feel... 16:10
Melody with intensity 17:02

At first I thought this lesson was too easy for me but I let it play out. As it played I realized this is an important lesson for me despite many years of me playing blues. Great lesson, thank you Tomo.

This is EXACTLY the kind of practice exercise I need - matching beat (with the metronome), improvisation (improvised lead and/or improvised variations of the shuffle), etc. I’m also using it for some pick practice by using varying picking patterns - all down picks, alternate picking, and varying picking patterns. It’s a nice little exercise, Thank You!

Never too late tho, I really appreciate these videos just talking about concepts of fundamentals. So easy to stray from them through the years.

This bassline was in one of your other videos that I started watching 2-3 years ago. This led me to doing pentatonic scale patterns until I was blue in the face. This really was the piece I needed to unlock my blues playing, and really LEARN the guitar. Your courses are great, and your advice: "Dont worry, don't compare, don't expect too fast"..... I've adopted that whole mantra to anything I do. Thank you for teaching and for sharing your wisdom, Tomo!

You're awesome! I enjoy watching these videos when I have time. When I first started playing a long time ago, I used the whistling technique. Even today. If I'm listening to another artist and I like the song, I'll whistle to it, but with my own unique phrases or lines to it over the melody and beat. No rules. Part of the whistling is part of my voice. So if there is certain phrases or habits that I do without much thought and whistle to, the song conforms to my style and to what I like. I'm concerned about preserving my voice and own identity when it comes to playing any instrument. It's a fingerprint to my work. Some people speak with a foreign accent, others have a southern accent and others have a northern accent. We all are communicating with our voice, but with some slight variation to deliver the message. Whistling over music with not much thought, will let your internal voice shine from within. Another tip is to record your whistles over melodies, then you can go back to them and retrieve what your inner voice was saying and transfer them over to the guitar.

Fundamentals and time is everything. An excellent exorcise that I will be using and showing to my GF who started playing guitar. She has an amazing ear cause she’s an incredible vocalist so I think she will like to play this to help her clean playing and she can expand on it and sing some Melodies over it once it’s locked in for her. Great Lesson Tomo.

I once heard Carol Kaye teaching upstairs to a student at the BASS CENTER in Studio City, Los Angeles. She was teaching that exact pattern at the slow BPM. I thought, "Gee, that's a lesson?" Now years later, I understand! Later she came down and gave me one of personalized guitar pics. A good groove and solid time, slow -as you teach is very important, so thanks Tomo!

What a great lesson, I have always been in favor of playing the Guitar as cleanly as possible, without effects or distortions and then adding little by little what you want, but without forgetting tonal purity. Thank you Mr. Tomo Fujita for sharing your extensive knowledge of Guitar, Music and Life. I use backing tracks from KZfaq because I am a Street Musician, but it is true, the dynamics are not the same as when playing music with real people.

It's good to tear it back down to the skeletal frame and reignite inspiration. Go ahead and do that boring stuff - do the work. I especially appreciate the metronome 2 4 after the solid internal bass line is wood burned back into your soul. That's when the just-you solo creativity can start to flow again. When we are uninspired and stale, this is a great video to jump forward by cocking the spring backwards. Thank you, Tomo!

I really like your calling out the ones. I started calling out the ones after seeing a youtube about typical funk techniques, making sure to hit the root or the third on the ones and fill the space, keeping phrases short and tight (well, tight for me). My playing is way improved, when you miss one of the ones you feel the loss in power. If one could learn to do that with intent it might sound good in a tension/release type way, but would need some other element to tie it together.

You have to know your lines before you can improvise. And yes, it’s very important to be able to solidly backup the other performers. Buddy Guy yelled at John Mayer about that. He stopped playing to watch the piano player solo and Buddy yelled, “Back that mother f****r up!” He learned alright.

This is where Music theory knowledge will help to understand what is being played at base line at time 8:04 . So basically to are going in key of A from the 4th (D ) to the 5th (E) and the bass line is going D to D# to E so you are going from Cmin (D# being the minor 3rd of C ) to Cmajor (E being the Major 3rd of C). There's a mix of Amajor and Aminor and C major and Cminor. Cleverly there is also Bminor and Bmajor in the mix because of D and D# is the 3rd of B! just from music theory , B being the secondary dominant of A. Overall its A7 which has major 3rd and flat 7.

You're very welcome! This bassline, it's better to use only down strokes so it makes more definitions on each note. Plus a little difficult to do so it makes more laidback groove! Thank you!

So What's up with your voice? There is nothing wrong with your ears. The good news is you don't flee into your quiet falsetto range! The truth is, the better your ears work, the harder it is to find your natural voice range. I must ask, if you ever had much choir training or taken Classes in Choir? You need this process to play guitar better. Guitar has a volume knob! This gives you a range of dynamics. First find the volume knob in your voice! It is ok to be LOUD sometimes! Then you always want to then be soft, to make the loud stand out more. Tomo San, your pitch is perfect! The tools you learn to play guitar apply to your voice too. Practice Vibrato and tremolo with your voice. Try to copy singers you like, listen to their vowels and consonants. Coming close to mastering guitar, I still find that the most exciting and satisfying music is singing 4 or 8 part harmony with a good choir! Singing and Playing the song Little Wing at the same time is amazingly difficult, few guitar players can do this. Try it! This is The Bar! If you can do this well then your on your way! Here is My Little Wing Live in front of a audience! This takes Stones My friend! Little Wing Flies! There is no where to hide here! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nZNomq10u96mZ4k.htmlsi=7fpZ3bS4pTsz4iuH Like Sub Share Please thank you so much. tomi:

Tomo made it clear near the beginning. You can play more stylistically (less clean), but this really helps your playing and he teaches it to all his students. sounding like your guitar heroes isnt the goal of going to music school, though, so I can see how being challenged with these kinds of things can help.
