This is my take on the CAGED system

That's why I love watching your video, feels like having a one-on-one human conversation, you have this natural flow and no cliche acting lines like many standard youtube videos, and the blues phrases are always so beautiful, I really enjoy watching it.

Thank you. My face hurts from 30 minutes of smiling. Thank you

You Triads/Inversions lesson/test has been helping me tremendously. I do it every day. My main focus is not to memorize, but to concentrate on the awareness of where the root/fifth/third are and play with that at each position.

Every time I watch a Tomo Fujita video I smile even if I don’t understand music theory. He just really cool.

"I practiced a lot, studied music theory, hit the wrong note" just noticed this hilariously relatable line

Like you all, I too am on my guitar journey. And I find that the blues example the teacher plays is so good as an etude that if you learn it note for note and analyze it or keep an awareness if what he is playing (and then go on to put in your own variations) it’s a perfect little piece to study in order to learn about using dominant 7 arpeggios with minor and major pentatonic and keeping in mind target notes. There is such intention behind the playing and choices in this little etude he spontaneously played that it is worth studying carefully to get your bearings. This is the best example I’ve seen of this stuff from any teacher. I learned so much from learning this piece. Thank you!

More often than not, everytime you remind me to be kind to myself, patient, and not compete, it brings a tear to my eye. I don’t think a lot of us realize how hard we are on ourselves. I always appreciate these gentle reminders. You’ve made learning guitar an absolute pleasure for me, and I’ll always look forward to your excellent lessons. Thank you Tomo 🤍🤍🤍

you never stop working, tomo. thanks for another great lesson! love from the uk!

Really refreshing delivery and content. Thanks.

This is the first time I felt like I had a real lesson 1on1 on yt, no cuts (I think it is really all in ONE take, did I miss something?), no fancy effects - just straight out monologue by Tomo full of passion to music and that will to teach people. Arigatou gozaimasu, Tomo-san!

i know this video is 1yr old now but it really helped me out a great deal because the CAGED system for me is an easy concept to understand but application to guitar not so much. thank you for posting this, I wish i had found it sooner!

"When you learn, don't have an opinion" -- man, that was what I needed to hear. You are not just teaching guitar. There was so much valuable wisdom here. Summarizing in 1 page, etc. -- I will try it. EDIT: It was funny to hear you mix 中途半端 in your English sentence. Haha.

Incredible. Thanks so much for sharing Mr. Fujita. ✌

GREAT LESSON TOMO!!!! Thanks for posting

Thank you Tomo. A wonderful and humble explanation of why triads is the way to learning guitar.

I truly enjoy you’re lessons, ty

This was an eye opener. Thanks so much!!

Everybody Always Does Good By Everybody. I’m realizing how awesome it is to relax and just enjoy being a human learning to play a new instrument! Thank you! And John Mayer! So inspiring!

Fantastic lesson. Thank you for sharing! 🙏

Love this! Thanks so much Tomo! Very helpful teaching my son. Happy Thanksgiving!
