John Mayer’s Guitar Teacher, Tomo Fujita, Responded to My Letter and Gave Me Advice!

Manny Vallarino · July 17, 2024 ·

Some years ago, I wrote a letter to the great Tomo Fujita, who was John Mayer’s guitar teacher at Berklee College of Music.

I asked Tomo for his advice on safely and effectively studying the guitar while being self-taught.

Tomo made a YouTube video where he responded directly to my letter.

We then had an online guitar lesson that changed my guitar technique and approach forever.

Wow.

Thank you, Tomo-san!

Here’s the video of Tomo responding to my letter. It’s a must-watch for all guitar players (and letter-writers):
