“I joined Guitar Wisdom a couple of years ago. Tomo knows everything about the right way to learn to play so that you don’t need to remember chord shapes and tab sheets. When you have the “guitar wisdom” it’s a lot more fun when you pick up the guitar.”

Steve W.

“Already in my first week, there are ideas and things that I have never heard a teacher say before. I am very excited about progressing and really am liking Tomo’s teaching style. Thanks for this great curriculum.”

Scott F.

“This is the best thing I’ve ever done. I’ve been playing for over forty years and had become bored with my playing and never took the step to get lessons. Tomo is a wonderful player and teacher who understands how to help one expand his own voice. I really enjoy his lessons, they are therapeutic as well as educational.”

Tony J.

The Lessons

In these subscription lessons, Tomo tries to move players away from their reliance on tablature or chord diagrams. Rather than thinking of scales and chords as shapes, players learn to hear/recognize the music.

Whether you're a beginner or an advanced player, Tomo's lessons offer valuable insights and practical advice to enhance your playing and deepen your understanding of music.

Play sounds, not shapes!

"My objective, as a teacher, is to help everyone to develop a good ear, to hear the music, and to play well without any need for tablature."

Tomo Fujita

The Approach

While most teachers give students what they want, Tomo provides students with what they need.

Take a step back to move forward

There's no shame in revisiting the basics! Reviewing something you’ve already learned does not mean you’re going backwards. Consider your foundation to be like your heart – fueling your progress. The stronger it is, the more you can challenge yourself.

Take your time

Learning guitar is not a race! Do your future self a favor and move at your own pace. Prioritize the depth and quality of your understanding over cramming as much information as possible. Speeding through lessons may cause you to overlook key details!

Embrace your journey

Discover joy in the process! Learning guitar isn't a one-size-fits-all deal – you have the freedom to make choices along the way. Approach each lesson with curiosity and take small, dedicated steps. Getting caught up in the final destination can make it difficult to truly enjoy the path you're on!

There are many paths to wisdom! With Tomo as your teacher and mentor, you have nothing but good choices.
