I wish you knew THIS Shuffle Blues Bassline For Super Clean Technique that taught John Mayer

At first I thought this lesson was too easy for me but I let it play out. As it played I realized this is an important lesson for me despite many years of me playing blues. Great lesson, thank you Tomo.

The power in these simple lessons is incredible. I use these lessons everywhere

This is EXACTLY the kind of practice exercise I need — matching beat (with the metronome), improvisation (improvised lead and/or improvised variations of the shuffle), etc. I’m also using it for some pick practice by using varying picking patterns — all down picks, alternate picking, and varying picking patterns. It’s a nice little exercise, Thank You!

Tomo you are a big part of me breaking down my nearly 30 years of self taught bad habits and aimless direction. Never too late tho, I really appreciate these videos just talking about concepts of fundamentals. So easy to stray from them through the years. I'd love to one day be able to be a real student of yours!

This bassline was in one of your other videos that I started watching 2-3 years ago. This led me to doing pentatonic scale patterns until I was blue in the face. This really was the piece I needed to unlock my blues playing, and really LEARN the guitar. Your courses are great, and your advice: "Dont worry, don't compare, don't expect too fast"..... I've adopted that whole mantra to anything I do. Thank you for teaching and for sharing your wisdom, Tomo!

There's a gold mine of blues phrases here. Awesome Tomo!

Thankyou Tomo! Really enjoyed this technique.

What a great lesson, I have always been in favor of playing the Guitar as cleanly as possible, without effects or distortions and then adding little by little what you want, but without forgetting tonal purity. Thank you Mr. Tomo Fujita for sharing your extensive knowledge of Guitar, Music and Life. I use backing tracks from YouTube because I am a Street Musician, but it is true, the dynamics are not the same as when playing music with real people.

Always best advices, simplicity for efficacity. Thank you mister

You're awesome! I enjoy watching these videos when I have time. When I first started playing a long time ago, I used the whistling technique. Even today. If I'm listening to another artist and I like the song, I'll whistle to it, but with my own unique phrases or lines to it over the melody and beat. No rules. Part of the whistling is part of my voice. So if there is certain phrases or habits that I do without much thought and whistle to, the song conforms to my style and to what I like. I'm concerned about preserving my voice and own identity when it comes to playing any instrument. It's a fingerprint to my work. Some people speak with a foreign accent, others have a southern accent and others have a northern accent. We all are communicating with our voice, but with some slight variation to deliver the message. Whistling over music with not much thought, will let your internal voice shine from within. Another tip is to record your whistles over melodies, then you can go back to them and retrieve what your inner voice was saying and transfer them over to the guitar.

i luv stevie so much ! ,thank god for having me know him so quickly from i began learning guitar, glad to see contents refer to him. thank you mr.tomo.

Thank you for sharing!! ❤️

Thank for this. I am getting much more by studying with you than any other methods. Foundation.

This is such a great lesson. I heard you teach this idea before but something toward the end really hit home. Thank you. Excited to get after this.

I once heard Carol Kaye teaching upstairs to a student at the BASS CENTER in Studio City, Los Angeles. She was teaching that exact pattern at the slow BPM. I thought, "Gee, that's a lesson?" Now years later, I understand! Later she came down and gave me one of personalized guitar pics. A good groove and solid time, slow -as you teach is very important, so thanks Tomo!

Thank you for this knowledge and in depth lesson on technique! great way to start the morning

GREAT lesson, thank you mr. fujita!

Very helpful lesson. Thank you kindly.
