Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom

I love this idea!

Like a traveling guitar wisdom tour!?
Hmm how to finanace…?
Sounds pricy…
Maybe helpful to suspend full dive into details now to let this idea bloom.

Maybe Eric Gale, Matt Schofield, Tomo Fujita (of course!)…Steve Kimock, Michael Lemmo, all the guys at Norms…and so on could join different legs…😃

I would definitely go if I could swing it Capt Mark.

Like a traveling master class right?

Maybe a small group of masters stay at the biggest homes of GW members?

Couch surf and meet in small intimate groups!

Then it’s just the cost of electricity…?

So so so oversimplified, I know I know

Thank you MarkM. Definitely a great idea but I just cannot do like that by my own. Even with my team. To me, that's way too much responsibilities to my own plate.

Thank you so much for your thought though.

Tomo

Yeah it’s a lot.

It’s not real, just an idea.
Good idea though.

Another throw-away visualization:

Another way to think about it is if someone walked up and said they will take care of everything, …what would they need to take care of in order for Tomo’s team to feel comfortable doing this?

Maybe they are a wizard and remove time, and common sense restrictions.

No need to answer Tomo!
I get the sense you are extremely busy for years. Just a thought…it’s a butterfly, flying away now. I like butterflies…also rainbows…not too much into unicorns hahaha…maybe my 6yo…also Silicon Valley venture capitalists…weird ideas man lol.

Now I’m doing the eyebrow thing and smiling :)

I hear you George.
I understand.
The hurdles are clear and obvious.

But I appeal to your sense of creative problem solving to keep this ideal in mind.

Peace.

That’s a great idea Jeffery.

We can self-organize and dispatch local GW members to these camps, if they can afford it and are willing, as individuals.

Then they could report back, right?
Why not? That would help the individual, the GW community, and therefore the world, everyone.

Everyone here, I am positive, could reassemble the whole from the part.

We do it everyday, here, with Tomo (‘s videos, book(s), cds, dvds…)

Where do you guys hear about these master classes or blues camps?

You know what?

Even if the individual could not afford it we could crowd-fund to supplement whatever the individual has.

Or maybe George or Sammi have room on their plates and account could reserve $1 from each of our monthly tuitions.

My words are yours now. But just ideas.
Breathe…breathing. Not real. They only become real if readers understand the world, from their own perspective and act, that is agree. Until then…they’re just butterflies and rainbows man.

Are you guys afraid of butterflies and rainbows man?

Grow a fund to send Jiayang, for example, to a camp in Japan. Or you to a camp in, …where are you Jeffery, Nashville? To a camp wherever you are.
You live there, you could walk there.
So maybe a minimal travel budget depending on the individual.

Then the individual reports back however they choose to communicate the truth — what they realized, what they felt, heard, saw, learned, what they understood.
The medium does not matter. The volume does not matter. Just the truth.

All of us have at least a little bit, otherwise you would not be reading this right now.

Damn. This is a good idea, I feel, what do you guys actually think (so ever think for me is deep…that sounds so full of it right…but it’s the truth maaaan…so maybe think deeply about this)?

Tomo wants us to realize that we are the student AND the teacher.

Tomo is not a god (ok a little bit…to us maybe…but) he cannot be everywhere. He is a human being like you and me, a sensitive one, a special one. We are all, so special.

But each of us around the planet are actually everywhere.

(Please watch Fast Times at Ridgemont High…and insert appropriate inflection, cadence and definition of this word: duuuuuuuuuuuuuude)

Meant:

They only become real if they understand the words…

I don’t need an edit function.
Just three posts at a time, at most to communicate the truth.

Thank you Jeff! Cory Wong camp was really good! I really enjoyed it a lot! A lot of jam from 10pm!
I will be at Guitar Workshop Plus in Feb 2026....

Tomo

Holy poopies!!

For Guitar Workshop Plus 2026 in San Diego (closest to me) is $2270 (+$120 non-refundable fee, small print).

This is the cheapest commuter package (I still have friends in sd) which includes meals (…not breakfast…that’s cold man) but all classes.

Whooo-haaaaaaa!!

I could bring my silver silver sky and just burn it in front of them…? Hahaha.

Ok, I see, I see…wow.

Have fun in Florida in Feb, Tomo!
Well, maybe you can report back to us hahaha. Same thing!

Thank you Jeff! I am enjoying "Live Stream" very much! I love this community so much!

Tomo

Hell yeah.

We. Can. Do. Eeeeet.

Been self-funding my life since about 3rd grade man. Had to. No stranger to washing dishes, mowing lawns, compiling 0s and 1s…shoveling that sh!t for the man. All the same to me man.

Love Boston.
Heard some good things started there.

Energy, positive life force, collective power!!
F*** man, that’s all I got left.
That’s the (expletive’in) truth.

I got one wave left in me man, gonna wait for the right one, ride it all the way home.

I wanna deeply understand what the golden surfer experiences, in that perfect moment, before I leave this place, man.

I’m gonna ride the perfect wave, on behalf of the truth, for positive generational change. That’s the only reason to do anything man.

I am so ****** done with the parts of this world that are not the way they should be.

Let’s ******* change it.

Let’s do this.

Uh meant real world dudes.

Not GW world dudes.

😅

GW world is the ideal, realized.

Community built around the real golden surfer…

Can we send winners of the monthly challenges to the camps?

I mean, everyone hear has at least one guitar.

I just need one guitar, and the perfect wave maaaaaan…

Thank you Serena for shraing! Zoom meeting type approach is may possible. Our GW community... we have so many people from many different countries too.

Tomo

Thank you Sammi for sharring this. Yes! I love this forum so much! I read threads everyday and I reply as much as I can.

There are so many little challenge threads going! I love it! Thank you so much for your passion and willingness to share your struggles and questions etc.

The livestremas are great place to catch up things each others. We always record this session so everyone can watch it later. Thank you so much for your encouragement and pure passion on guitar playing.

Please enjoy your guitar journey!

Tomo

Thank you MarkM for your passion on this topic! I really appreciate it. We are planning to do our monthly GW Livestream and public YouTube Livestream once a month. So you can watch these LIvestreams twice a month. Thank you so much!

Tomo

Ok Mark!

Me too!

Imagine all of us showing up at some camp Tomo is at! Hahahaha! That would be awesome! We would take over the camp...imagine us doing that for every camp!

We would be the Tomo-heads! Like the Dead-heads! (But somehow I'm sure we would shower more often hahaha)

Thank you Tomo, Sammi, and George!
🙏🏾

Thank you Sammi for sharing about Guitar Workshop Plus.
