It seems like I always need to remind myself to slow down. I am enjoying guitar wisdom and making good progress already. Thank you.

[untidyphish]

That outro was the tastiest guitar playing I've heard in my life, cheers Tomo Sensei!

[johnfrenette]

_”…but that’s not the topic”_
That killed me. Hilarious!
Thank you for the lesson!

[deanwarren]

WOW it's the atlas Blows my mind, seeing the fret board much more clearly .. Thank you so much Tomo.

[NYCMetsPDX]

I seldom comment on YouTube videos but this one is a real game changer for me! Seeing all the triads both vertically and horizontally was the "lightbulb moment" I was looking for, thank you!

[AintSoEZbeingSteezy]

that first bit hit me hard because i'm a casual player of 14 years, I have always been big into skateboarding but now that i'm getting older i have been transitioning alot of my free time into learning guitar & i'm enjoying it so much more now

[Claudio.forte.t]

Thank you, Mr Fujita. With you, I am making one step back and 5 forward. I did not have a solid foundation. Now I know how to learn.

[diegostrings]

God bless you tomo, you are a musical guardian of wisdom and knowledge. But above all you are a generous hearted man, taking the time to share and put up all this knowledge for free. is Wonderful. love you! helped me a lot.

[martinrosales]

It is very important to understand the triads, and it is perfectly understood in the way that is explained by you Master Tomo. Thank you because I have made good progress.

[philiphmooresr]

What an amazing lesson! On the nose… 3+ years focused on CAGED, and Major scale shapes and patterns and finding triads and the linear major scale patterns now dominate my improvising.
Final note on another lesson that had DRAMATIC impact was the daily linear all finger exercise and 1/4/5 swing, each focused on accuracy and quiet transfers from notes.
So grateful for your lessons!
Thank you Tomo!!

[michaeljacksin]

I was working on scales and triads last night and I realized you can play the c major scale as full chords and I thought this might be useful for people who learned music on keyboards to understand how the guitar works

[cylonhibrid]

Around late 80's or early 90's I bought a strat pluses silver lace pick ups, it is the same colour as that guitar, though even today you can smell the paint like a strawberry, Good vid and advice. Pass onto my son who is learning as we all. 😊

[andylenton]

Man was literally just looking through your triad videos today and you upload one an hour ago you're a legend mate cheers from Australia

[goingblindmusic]

Thanks Tomo. I love discovering that some things I’ve ignored so far ( like chord inversions) are actually useful & interesting & musical!

[marshallalexander]

Tomo
your positivity enlightens my days!
Thank you so much for everything mate!

[jjlbridge]

Total beginner here. I was trying to figure it out on my own but was using 2 strings instead of 3. I get the triads now. Thank you so much!!

[waynebresnahan]

Very informative and useful. I’ve learned a new perspective of chord changing by knowing the intervals of the triad I’m on. If I’m changing to the 5th I know the root note is the so note of the triad I’m on. Or up 2 frets for the minor 6th or down 2 frets for the 4th, etc. A good way of mapping the fretboard by intervals. Thanks Tomo!

[lavoyragels]

We had a teacher in highshcool that taught us solfege I am very thankful for her. Thank you Mrs. Jennifer Randall. 🙏 i had no idea what she was doing until now. She was a great one too. I will now always be thinking about solfege when playing guitar. Something I wasn't thinking about. And you are helping me connect that to guitar. Thank you.

[ranman]

You suggested I do this lesson basically. I did start when I was younger but I guess I stopped as it got harder. Thanks again for the encouragement. You're one of the few that actually responds. I'm very grateful.

[jonathanmoses]

The wealth of information contained in this video is absolutely priceless. Thank you so much!
