Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I am sorry to hear that you have encountered so many difficulties. Since there are numerous commercial and governmental entities between our videos posted here and our subscribers outside the USA, it is impossible for us to know the source of a given problem. However, the Vimeo team is quite good at identifying and resolving technical issues. Please request their assistance through the "Contact Support" link on this page.

As to your Item 4 above: we hope to make Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom (iOS/Android) mobile apps available to subscribers in 2020. Peace.

Hey, I have the same issue's. I experience continuous buffeting on your videos but not on YouTube, Netflix etc. The 'auto' speed just doesn't seem to be able to identify the quality of my connection similarly to other players. If I have my desktop wired to my router then I can enjoy a fairly seemless experience.

Here is Tomo's reply:

"I can learn and play anything, if I can hear it. I would like to teach all of you to do this. With this ability, you will no longer need tabs.

"Tabs are very limited in terms of choice of places (on the neck) to play. For instance, E on the 1st string (open) can be played on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th strings. The question is: which one (it's the same note) sounds good to you? I would like you to have “choices” (FREEDOM) in your playing. It will take some time, but it’s all possible!

"Please let me know if I play too fast or talk too fast in these lesson videos. Post your questions here in the FORUMS. Thank you so much for studying with me at Guitar Wisdom!"

Regarding the Tabs, I agree with Tomo, I'm sharing my experience here:

1 Year before, When I play something new, first I need to translate the sound to tab in my brain, and then I can play. I think this happened because I read tabs too much, I connect the vision thing with my finger, not the sound.Event rhythm I need translate too.

After I take Tomo's skype lesson I started to try connect the sound with my finger directly, at first, it was painful, after months I feel better. And now I don't need to 'translate' the sound to vision/tab t0 finger action...

I share my experience hope it helps.

Hi Tomo,

In my opinion, some of your video(not many) is a little too fast and no section. I think the biggest problem is no section (like space in music I think).

For example, a video named Parker's blues, I think i would be better if you emphasize each major starts/ends.. each phrase starts/ends..

Thanks so much for your videos

Please see Tomo's reply to these concerns in your separate thread, "Split the Videos." Thank you for your feedback.

I am only on lesson 5 and I feel overwhelmed. The lessons have gone from how to hold a guitar and learning the notes on a string which is great for a beginner and then in one lesson to advanced cord shapes played in a sequence I cannot follow as I don't know how to play the chords and then relating that to chromatic bends. I thought this was for all levels of player.
Could you provide the tabs for those chords, pause my online subscription and then let me get back to you in a few months when I can play those chords and maybe start to understand lesson 5. I presume I must be able to understand and do lesson 5 to go onto lesson 6?

Thanks for your feedback. We share your frustration. A lack of sufficient bandwidth (especially on the "last mile") has proven to be a real problem in many parts of the world, as we work/play at home and cope with the pandemic.

Please see my posts in the thread "Problem With The Videos" in these Forums. Be sure to follow the Vimeo guidelines regarding your web browser and applicable settings. Adjusting the video player to the lowest (240p) resolution may help you to avoid some or all of the buffering.

If the problem persists for a significant number of our subscribers, even after life and internet use return to more sustainable conditions, we will consider migrating to another video platform. Stay safe.
