Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom

Dear Tomo,
Thanks for the lick at 6:26. The is a cool lick over the B7 that is a slight variation on the b9 trick that gives some of the flavors of the "standard" b9 M3 5 b7 trick. It is super helpful to find these little nuggets. I have watched this video many times but this trick finally stuck with me this time.

6:44 cool trick with diatonic dyads in B natural minor (D major). Makes sense that first dyad is D major followed by descending dyads, since I am thinking of DM7 arpeggio over B-7 (D major, C minor, B minor).

7:01 I think this is the same diatonic dyad trick over E-7 (thinking GM7), thinking of triads (G major, F# minor, E minor)

7:57 Sounds like you're thinking B Mixolydian b9 b13 over B7 to take you to E-7.

This is my best guess at what I think you're thinking :) It's helpful at least to write it out like this.

Many many thanks

Here is Tomo's comment:

"Glad to see you got it. Good job!"

Hi,
I have been learning BL14 too. At 6:15 Tomo demonstrates his approach to the chord changes. I think Bradford is talking about, at 6:26, is a B major triad, D chord with second inversion. The shape is around the B string at the 12th fret. I believe this is the last part of the 4 bars or B-7, and is: b3 M3 R 5 4 M3 then resolves into the E-7 with a 9 to R, over the A form E chord shape.
Does this sound like that correct analysis? Kind of starting a minor 3rd, but changing to a major 3rd.

Thanks
