Don't worry. Don't compare. Don't expect too fast. Be kind to yourself.

These are just a few of bits of "Guitar Wisdom" that Berklee College of Music Instructor Tomo Fujita has been known for. Between his classes at the famous college, and his own online lesson platform, Tomo has helped literally thousands of people not only be able to better express themselves on their guitars, but he's also been a huge inspiration for some of the most popular guitarists of our generation. (John Mayer anyone?)

In this episode of the Tone Mob Podcast, we discuss Tomo's journey into music, his teaching philosophy, and the importance of diverse income streams for musicians. Tomo shares insights on how guitar can be a tool for personal development and the challenges faced in music education. The conversation also touches on the impact of technology on learning guitar, advice for aspiring musicians, and Tomo's approach to achieving clean tones.

Here are some highlights from this episode:

  • Toma's passion for guitar is evident in his daily life.
  • Diverse income streams are essential for a sustainable music career.
  • Teaching is not just about the material, but understanding the student.
  • Listening to entire albums can deepen musical understanding.
  • It's important to create your own opportunities in the music industry.
  • Being kind to oneself is crucial in the learning process.
  • Asking questions is key to overcoming challenges.
  • The foundation of good music is like a good cheese pizza.
