Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom

Thank you Scott! So great to hear that! Yes! Great small amp for two channel / echo (each CH)
I love the Beth Reverb tone! You're very welcome!

Love this Tomo.
I was just looking through July Challenge,
I did not realize there 4+ parts. I could not do this in July, but now I can.

Amazing when I thought about this.
Most of the time, I am finding it's best to get out of my own way and just approach each moment with guitar patiently, calmly, with child-like curiosity. All of these ideas are from you, and tour book, thank you.

I am enjoying triad foundation practice.
I have been taking time knowing each note/solfage/inversion. I can go horizontally, vertically. Now I am working on: all root triads, the. all first, then all second inversions.

I am finding also, triad, chromatic and open triad intro swing groove exercises are all helping me -- as I get better at one, it gives clues how to do the others!

One question, will people outside of TFGW be able to watch the linked FTR 09 lesson video?

I am letting go of any concerns about privacy. I like your perspective and example of just being, and using the idea of public practice and review to make myself better.

I hope you have a great day!
What are you making with all the garlic you are chopping? :)

Thank you Sunil! Triads are so deep!

Only TFGW members can see any videos!

Cooking. Yes!

Tomo

Thank you for the kind words Johno.

Exactly. I feel like I'm on a slow spiral up, like the big birds in a summer thermal.

What is weird is now, it feels like it happened so fast!
Maybe that's what we remember after learning to walk as babies. We forget how many times we fell.

I had to listen to Tomo's triads on his Electric Spanish 335. 40 years of triads.
You are right my friend, beautiful!!
Small efforts over large time.

I hope we will all be jamming over the next 40! That is the goal, in any case. :)

Thank you guys! Triads are so good!

" something else from a different lesson sticks and it applies to another lesson" 100% Johno

Thank you Clay! It's all about cooking!

Tomo

It takes a long time to remember the entire recipe and not mess up the dish. Yet, after a while a bad recipe can be adjusted to be better taste on knowing other recipes. Have to know the cooks tools, where they are at, how to use them, how to clean and store them for next time. I need a clock in the kitchen.

I love this video Tomo. Thank you. I love how you start the lesson slow and sped up. It very detailed. Beautifully done. I love the wise words of wisdom to not lower yourself to argue. And bonus at the end with the gear transistor amp. Great work, always great work you do. Thank you.

My pleasure Serena! Please enjoy it! I am trying go slower and slower! Yes! No need to argue! Other side is not feeling well. Do not to need yourself lower to that side!

Hey Tomo - I really liked how your messages on mistakes are sprinkled throughout this one. Really good reinforcement.

Tomo, that sounds so in tune in all fret positions, very good quality, not easy to get that in an average guitar. Really dig that Amp set up too, very cool. The parts with the Bb Blues triads and slower sustain very nice, I like that, and the rock jam at the end. One day, I get to verticle triads for myself goal, working it. I bet many can relate to the wisdom part, I know I can, been there, it happens, and yeah, jealousy is terrible, yuck. It is easy to make down putting comments when that person is really not facing nobody, like face book, they are not face-to-face. It is like a persons dopamine to them selfish selves to cut another person down in the social media land, too much anger and meanness in that click. Anyways, way to knock it out in the rock jam original!! Yes, Talk up, not down.
