Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom

Really wonderful to hear my local fellow GW student scored a MMBA!
Really super-duper happy for you Serena.
Looking forward to hearing you make beautiful music with that cool vintage amplifier.
I have my brown box if I ever come across a good MMBA.

Is there a mic you recommend Tomo for recording on the cassette recorder? I have been recording but can’t get a decent sound with the built in mic. I have the same cassette recorder that you use I believe. Panasonic.

Great question! Jeff, you should get this tape-recorder!
panasonic rx-fs 430
Built in mic is better because it's so natural!

I use this for my tape-lessons.

Tomo, Do you have a recommendations for like a speaker set up where I can listen with headphones too? This would be a set up where I could listen to songs other than my speaker on my laptop. I would have to be able to pair my phone though to get the music. I hope I am making sense. Thank you.

Serena, which equipment are you talking about?

I have a pair of powered speakers and I can plug my computer (you can plug your phone too)

I don't listen music through my computer because the sound is not great.

Just recently my MMBA has started producing a faint high E that fades out after a second or two. But it's there when I'm playing, and right after I stop. I thought I was messing up my muting, but it's there even if I mute all strings with both hands. Even if I turn guitar volume to zero. But it goes away in a second or two
Has anyone heard of this or had this experience?
I just experimented with other strings, and it's there for A too. But maybe I don't notice as much because the lower note doesn't cut through as much.

I’m not technical but one time I was getting some high pitch type sounds out of my peavey tube amp and the tube ended up going bad. After replaced it it went away.
