  • @micromoochie
    @micromoochie Před rokem +4

    Tomo, I'm about your age and started taking classical guitar lessons about three years ago. I was a self taught player for about 30 years and while I always wanted to learn the guitar in a deeper way, it just wasn't the right time with all other competing life activities. I love you hear and learn from your wisdom, and Sammi (with a youthful perspective and insightful questions) is a great connection between your knowledge and someone who is trying to absorb it (like me). You asked for questions so I'll throw one out there that may be hard to answer. I can play 20%-30% better when I'm by myself and relaxed. As soon as I play for people or in a lesson, the slight increase in tension makes both left and right hands lose their precision and delicacy. When I'm at my best, I am focused but at the same time not thinking. I can't seem to capture that when I feel an expectation from an audience (I start to think too much). Sorry, this might not be the easiest question to answer. I'd love to hear any any thoughts you both may have. Thank you and thanks for your CZcams channel!

    • @TomoFujitaMusic
      @TomoFujitaMusic  Před rokem +2

      Thank you for sharing! Awesome job! Thank you so much!
      That's a lot of my students would say! Don't too relaxed and play your instrument... having a good amount of pure pressure! So imagine when you practice your performance (not practice techniques) think someone is watching or do Instagram LIVE! So increase tension when you are performing any time! Hope this will help you!

    When I was a teenager my guitar teacher was a Berklee graduate and was one of those hard asses too. haha He was confrontational and challenged me when my theory or playing wasn't up to his standards and what he expected from me. It hurt my feelings and got me mad, but it was/is a wonderful motivator. All of us need a good kick in the butt once in awhile.

With your knowledge of music, I have to mention Ren to you. There's so much in his music that will utterly blow your mind, and that's before taking lyrics into account. With the profound amount of knowledge and good taste between you both, I think you'll really dig him.

    Episodes with Sammi are good! I think she brings out your best side, more deeper story & analogy brings a great conversation.
    Would love to see a video where you make a song together, many elements of a song teaching slowly rhythm element, triads, connecting triads, suspended, extended & you Tomo building more complex chords as the song goes.. While giving context to chord & melody arrangement. Does Sammi sing?
    Anyways, just an idea. Thank you as always, greatest teacher always learning!
