Instructional Materials

Tomo has authored a variety of instructional books — most of them in Japanese. However, Tomo believes that English-speaking people can learn much from his “Solo Etudes” book, pictured below. This book features charts, including guitar tablature, for Tomo’s original compositions.

Here is a list of the tunes covered in this book:

  • Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
  • Hoi Hoi Hoi
  • Three on Six
  • Blues for Joe
  • Mountain River Valley
  • Room 418
  • Kyoto
  • Samuel John’s Groove
  • Just Funky

To learn more, see the “Solo Etudes Book” video below. Where can you buy the book? Try Amazon, or search for “Tomo Fujita Solo Guitar Etudes” elsewhere online!


Tomo has created and/or co-produced many instructional DVDs with Rittor Music and others, in both Japanese and English. One English-language DVD that many players find particularly helpful is “Accelerate Your Guitar Playing” featuring Tomo Fujita. Since this DVD was a joint project of Berklee Press, Rittor Music and Hal Leonard Corporation, it is relatively easy to find, for anyone who would like to check it out.
