Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom

Hi guitar wisdom fellow members! From my pleasure i mostly listen music from my headphones or from my TV! But when i want to learn anything on guitar or transcribe anything i use my laptop because i can play with the seconds conveniently and listen the same think many times but i can't hear so easily and clear the base from this speakers and the sound quality is not so good!
So I am thinking to buy some speakers for this reason! What do you guys use to listen and transcribe music?
Have a great day everyone. 🙂 🙏

Thank you Markos for this thread! Very good!

I use my stereo system. I would love to buy a better system someday.

For learning songs etc... I use my MacBook and listen very soft volume so I pay attetion.
I have a pair of monitors (Yamaha) for my computer so I can plug in and listen better sound too.

When I want to hear a lot of details... sometime I use my headphone.
For listening my guitar, I only use guitar amps and I do not use my computer or my headphones.

Hi Markos - My home office is where I spend most of my time. I work from home when not traveling, so I have a pretty decent setup. I have several levels of listening - do a search in the forums for deep listening and read up.

When I'm in my office I play music through my MacBook through a pair of studio monitors that I have on stands and are at ear level. At a low volume, this is background music while I'm working. The side of my office that isn't my work desk is my music room. So when I'm playing/practicing guitar, I'm still listening through my studio monitors, but now they're being fed by my iPad. The reason being I have the amazing slow downer on my iPad. Tomo isn't a fan of slowing down music, but my ears aren't nearly as developed as Id like them to be, so I need to slow down the music to really hear the nuances of what's being played, and to really nail the rhythm.

As for deep listening, I'm either using my earbuds or a pair of headphones to try and block out as much external noise as possible which lets me really listen hard to the music. I find this helps to really get the music into my head to the point where I can almost listen to the song without having to play it on a device.

Lastly there is escaping back to my teens (I'm in my late 50's) where I just sit on my living room floor and listen to vinyl. This really does transport me back into my bedroom in my teenage years when the radio, vinyl, 8 tracks, and cassette were the only options for listening to music. The biggest difference now is I need my glasses to read the liner notes. :-0

Hey markos!

To try to transcribe, I use a computer or laptop, and my Logitech G560 speakers. I am so happy with them. They are portable too. The subwoofer really makes them rock! They connect thru your USB port or headphone jack.

Seems like a good setup Markos. That is similar to what I do, only older stero equipment. I am using 8ohm little wooden bookshelf speakers with an an early 80's technics receiver as the driver. My smart phone or turn table are the send signals to the receiver. My laptop can do the record and I can listen to little phrasing at a time and take notes on the transcribe. I listen without the head phones and bring in the main speakers on the other 8ohm channel when focus listening is the groove. Fuller volume, 4 speakers total, two big, two small to create surround. - johno
