It took me DECADES to learn to be kind to myself. I'm so grateful for your videos and your positive message.
Good job! Thank you for sharing! Hard to do and very important! Thank you so much! My pleasure!
This is why you are a great (rather than just 'good') guitar teacher. You take the holistic approach & realise it's all about your mental & physical state, and guitar is just an extension of that. I wish I had a teacher like you.
Thank you so much!
@PenileAugmentation Thanks for sharing. Good job!

"Music will always be your friend." Mark Knopfler.
Yes yes! Thank you!
Music is very humbling. My ego is destroyed constantly. Sometimes I almost regret 'wasting' so much time on it because I make the mistake of comparing myself to others. This style of video is really good therapy and a highly overlooked necessity for people trying to improve.
Thanks for sharing. Music is amazing! Make us so humble. Drop all prides & opinions is better. Guitar has no opinions! You can make it sweet tone & start conversation. Mistakes on music is new chance of possibilities.
@@TomoFujitaMusic love these words thank you so much tomo san
Just want to relay this message from a beginner in his 40s. I started playing guitar in November and it has done wonders for my confidence. For whatever reason I never thought I could play an instrument or learn music. For decades I talked myself out of learning till I finally challenged that assertion and yeah.. being wrong never felt so good. The joy learning guitar has brought me is hard to convey. I don't feel any shame or discouragement from not being able to play what I want immediately, those are just goals to chase. I've played every single day for the last two and half months, whether it's productive or efficient, I do not care. It makes me happy. Learning simple melodies and rhythm has meant the world to me. The first song I learned to play was Nutshell by Alice in Chains and it legitimately made me emotional. To be able to play something so meaningful to me after having convinced myself I'd never be able to learn music has significantly changed my perspective on what I can do in this life. Music is the most underrated, taken-for-granted thing on this Earth. I would recommend learning music to everyone and anyone. Don't stop yourself and don't let anyone stop you. There's no fault in ignorance just in complacency or subservience to it. Thank you Mr. Fujita for the excellent videos and for sharing your personal experience. You're an amazing teacher and your passion for music and guitar is absolutely contagious. 🙏
Thank you for sharing! Never too late! Good job! Please have more fun!
thank you..
When I see a video from Mr. Fujita I have to click. Thank you for your wisdom.
Thank you so much! You're very welcome!
Don't worry!
Don't compare!
Don't expect too fast!
Be kind to yourself!
I really just wanna put a sticker like that on my strat so it'll remind me of what it means, Thank you again tomo for your wisdom!
Thanks so much! We are working on that part. Please go to www.tomojustfunky for more information. You're very welcome!
Playing guitar can help you go through anything. I moved schools around the same time the pandemic hit. I didn't have any friends to talk to and I was mostly alone. I started playing guitar around the same time and your videos helped me so much with chord progressions and techniques. Instead of feeling sad, I would play guitar. It's helped me so much in isolation. Now, I am obsessed with neosoul and mathrock and have formed a band. I have many friends who I've connected with through music. Thank you Tomo.
Thanks for sharing. Guitar is amazing! Guitar is best friend forever! Thank you!
Don’t forget to enjoy yourself. The process, requires patience and love. I’m 67 and practicing jazz guitar has made me a better person, because a happy person is a kind person.
Thank you Tomo! ❤
Yes sir! Thank you so much! That's so indeed! You're welcome!
music is not competitive which is what makes it great. lion does not try to be a bear, bird does not try to be giraffe. if you cannot play fast you can choose a few really good notes, still good art
Thank you for sharing! Music, guitar... so amazing!
When I saw the title of this video, I knew it was for me.
I came out of a bad drug addiction years ago, and I had played guitar for many many years but I did it with the assistance of drugs and amphetamines and stimulants. I would write awesome compositions and the next time it came around to play it, I would have difficulty doing it again unless I did more drugs.
So I'm finally sober now, it's awesome, I love my life, I love being a morning person,
But something that has stuck around from the years of abuse that I did to myself, is now I feel like I am having to relearn how to play and right from my heart, and it's difficult, and sometimes I feel my confidence level sinking and my inspiration sinking,
Like I'm almost ashamed that I used to be such a good innovative guitar player, and I guess I abused my talent and now when I try to practice and family is in the house, that's when it hits me.
It's not a completely sad story though, I am slowly coming out of this and getting better
Tomo Fujita music videos have been an inspiration to me in this subject.
I will leave you with this:
-drugs really are bad, That's not just a cliche thing to say
- You can get off them and life is so much more pure and better without them but it takes heart
- Don't compare yourself to others, you are amazing how you are, don't do that with your guitar playing, it damage your CONfideNCE!
- Don't mix hard drugs and guitar, it's not a good thing, there's a reason all of our favorite doped up guitar heroes died young!!!
Peace my friends.
I hope you find a peaceful moment and some tranquility amidst the inevitable struggle today.
Have a great day, have an awesome day, make it count
Thanks so much for sharing. Little or big, we all have some struggles in life. Guitar is so pure! Just practicing Chromatic scale & R37 Swing grooves... gives me a lot of confidence. Learning triads are great way to calm down! Thank you!
No regret. Don't look back, look forward! You are doing a great job!!
Hey Zac, I'm Zack and I just wanna tell you I was in the same or similar boat as you. I started playing guitar in high-school and by the end of high-school I basically had recorded 2 albums/E.P.s and my future was looking bright. Well I decided to make bad decisions and honestly I feel like it was important that made such poor decisions or else I would have never learned. I ended up homeless a few times and had to crawl my way out of my own grave. In all my years of drug use I always thought that they enhanced my guitar playing, but it really didn't a lot of the time. If your thinking about your next hit while your playing a solo it might not be working the way you intended.
But anyways I'm clean and sober (aside from 420 of course) and have been making my absolute favorite music of my life so far this past year and I'm so excited to release it and I did it completely without any hard drugs involved. It is certainly harder for some people to cope without substances but what helped me was coming to a realization that it was either drugs or me, one or the other but I couldn't choose both.
Anyways I would start meditating, praying, and thinking to yourself and perhaps out loud to God, she will guide you and grant you the creativity you desire. Sometimes when I have very little inspiration it's because there's something wrong emotionally with me that I need to take care of. And ask yourself when do you truly love playing guitar the MOST? Like what is your favorite aspect about the guitar/music? We gotta focus on those aspects instead.
You were not playing before. You were riffing- and it sounded good but you were clueless. You probably play "better" now- even if it does not sound as good for now. Check out Zombie Guitar too- Brian is a great teacher. I learn from many instructors- love Tomo, Brian and GuitarTricks too. Learn some theory and stay clean man- good job so far!
@@zacksguitarhacks6390 Stay off all drugs my man. These days even 420 gets laced with garbage and you are right back as an addict. You know what is really cool to get addicted to- as in I am a full on addict...nutrition and even some exercise. I can't get enough. It's no different really- it's just obsessing on one thing or another. I have better side effects though and far better labs! Try it- you might like it. Just change your obsession.
Keep rocking!
Expecting not too much is kind a most inportant thing.
Yes! I just expect a little above middle.
Tomo
Don't change!!
You're Priceless!!
Love
Mary Ann
Thanks so much!
In appreciate you Tomo...your playing, your teachings and your honesty. 🙏
Thank you so much!
I tune in for a guitar lesson from a true music profesional and go away wiith a not just guitar lesson, but a smile and harmony in my soul. All my blessings and thanks Sir Tomo.
Thank you so much! You have a beautiful soul! You're very welcome!
some people say the blues aint nothin but a good man feelin bad...crossroads quote.....good topic thanks
Thank you!
Its always in the last place you ever think to look...
Thanks for sharing.
Same here! It'll be back by Spring.
Thank you!
The point of music is not to get to the end of the song, and playing guitar is not a sport, everyone.
- you seem like a good, authentic human being
Thanks for sharing! Guitar is so beautiful! Thank you!
I am not good at guitar and can't do most things, but when I begin to lose confidence or become uninspired, I go back and relearn things I already 'know'. Sometimes, this helps me realize how far I've come, because I remember how hard something was to learn the first time and it also inspires me to take that thing and try new variations that I can build on.
Thanks for sharing! You don't need to do everything very well. Try to learn one thing really deeply. That's so important. You are awesome! Great passion so you can learn. Please don't worry at first. Everything is fine. We need FOUNDATION.
You're fine the way you are!!! Keep doing what you do!❤
Thank you so much!!
Your honesty and wisdom is invaluable. Thank you Mr. Fujita
Thank you! This message was straight from my heart!
this is low key my favorite
Thank you!
By the end of the video im almost crying... What a bliss be able to call you Teacher!!!
Thank you so much!
Yes sir! This applies to so much beyond music, thank you for putting this out. I really believe that negative "self talk" is so dangerous. The mind is a garden and if you plant bad seeds (negative thoughts or self talk) then you grow bad fruit. Good thoughts = good seeds and yield good fruit. For anyone reading this, I hope you can embrace your goodness and push all the negative thoughts away. You are all wonderful people and we are all very lucky to be here. And we are also lucky to have Tomo! Thank you Tomo!!!
Thanks for sharing! I love gardening with my wife. Even weeds... I think all positive way! You're very welcome!
Music never judges us , only brings us positive vibes, only human being put judgement on each other and bring too much ego beyond music and making think way too complicating!!!
Thanks for sharing. That's why guitar makes us so humble! Guitar got no opinions on us!
For someone like you to offer to take questions openly from anyone is incredible. You are a legend and I am so thankful to exist at the same time as you my friend.
Thanks so much for your kind words. I love reading all these comments.
This is one of the best youtube channels on guitar. I take a pen and paper out and learn. Thank you for what you do!
So great to hear that. Thanks so much!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I feel the same ..lately i haven't picked my guitar its been like 6 months, lost my inspiration... I hope i get it back!
Thanks for sharing. We all have this. Don't worry!

@@TomoFujitaMusic I have a question..
For 45+yrs I have played 25.5" scale guitars, starting with Fender and, for the last 15 or so, Ibanez.
I recently discovered "short scale"(24') guitars, and I am obsessed.
I recently bought a Squire Super Sonic and a Sterling Cutlass.
I now have BIG HANDS!
Other than my guitar-playing buddies deriding me for playing "kids' guitars," I don't care; for me, it's a game changer.
I struggle with Hendrix-style hammer pull ornaments or any regular big-hand technique.
I have small hands, and I just had to live with.....until now....I think.
My question is simply this:
Is there a downside to playing short-scale lengths?
I just discovered this channel by coincidence, Thank you Mr Tomo for sharing this video, we really need this energy not just as musicians but as humans.
Thank you so much!
It most certainly happens to all of us, and there is no exception. Being able to regain that passion and fire for music takes much effort, but for me, personally, it's one of those things that I will never abandon. Thank you for this strong message Tomo!
Well said! Thanks so much!
You are great teacher! You are just right ! Thank you for sharing about lack of confidence as we all struggle thus

Thank you so much!
Sometimes when I lose confidence or inspiration I will take a short break from guitar....nothing too long, just a week or so. When I come back, I seem to have forgotten my limits and find myself appreciating my playing more. This has always been the method that works for me. Thanks for your insight Professor Tomo! You are a great teacher and person and your wisdom is always appreciated.
It's fun listening to you my man
Thanks so much!

Hi, Tomo.
We live in an imperfect world where much does not depend on ourselves. From this, every person has a lot of problems. By making ourselves more perfect and professional in any field, we form an appropriate environment and people around us for communication. However, even after that, every person remains alone with a huge number of questions, the answers to which he has been looking for all his life. The main thing at the same time is in agreement with ourselves and those who are ready to come to terms with our shortcomings, because life is always a compromise with ourselves, close people and, of course, constant hard work to achieve personal progress in the business we are engaged in.
Thank you for sharing! Yes. We all have some problems and we are humans! Not perfect! Thank you so much!
Don’t worry
Don’t compare
Don’t expect too fast
Be kind to yourself

You are a beautiful spirit
Thank you!
I enjoyed this video very much
So happy to hear that. Thank you!
i still remember my very first days starting to take learning and playing seriously. the guitar felt so foreign to me and theory was a whole different language. when I am feeling particularly uninspired/loss of confidence I can think back to that initial learning period and weight it against where I am at now and really notice how much I have learned/ how far I have, and it helps a lot!
Thanks for sharing. Guitar playing is lifetime work, journey so please enjoy every moments!
this video is important! thanks...
Glad you think so! Thank you!
I always come here to learn about guitar, and everytime i end up learning about guitar and life. Thank you so Much Tomo, that means a lot
My pleasure! So happy to hear that. Thank you!
Hi Tomo!
Thank you thank you thank you for being transparent, open and honest. I gain much encouragement from listening to your guitar teaching videos and your talks on life lessons.
Please continue to share your wisdom and shining light of positivity. Forever greatful
You're welcome! So happy to hear that. Thank you so much!
"Guitar doesn't have opinion to you" ❤
Yes! Very nutural.
Thank you for this video. Today was challenging with things out of my control. Your attitude and advice really helped me put things in perspective. I realize how much pressure I put on myself and that reflects everything around me. I appreciate your insight.
You're very welcome! Life is tough enough!
you are great you have inspired me too much one of my favorite teachers
Happy to hear that! Thank you!
Thank you for posting this Mr. Fujita. I needed to hear a lot of the things you said, specifically "just play". We are indeed not perfect and it takes time to become the great people and guitar players that we want to be. ❤
My pleasure! Glad to hear that. Information and social media makes us expect more! No needed! Thank you!
Tomo, I had a really bad day today. This was just what I needed. Thank you so much!!!!
You're very welcome! We all have that kind of day!
Soo glad you are human Tomo! I was beginning to wonder with all of your wow incredible playing on this channel 😊And yes the Blues is a great way to get it out... And achievement - any , no matter how little, helps more achievement, helps confidence. Thank you 🙏
Yes! I am a normal human! I have many limitations! Thank you so much!
I love your talent and work Tomo you are a beacon of positivity to us and we appreciate you and the efforts you make to help us appreciate music and enhance our lives :)
Thank you so much! I am always positive all the way! I am so thankful.
Tomo is legendary.
Thank you!
This touched my heart and got my tears😢
Thanks so much!
Tomo I love that shirt, very wise words that I see come from the heart of a guitar player but can apply to everybody and anywhere.
Thanks so much!
