Tomo Fujita's "Soft Picking Technique" has been released with Japanese subtitles.

"Don't play it too hard."

These are some memorable words spoken by Tomo Fujita in the video.

Tomo Fujita is known as a world-renowned guitarist and guitar instructor.

Through his performances and lessons, he continues to influence many guitarists.

PICKBOY Guitar Pick Store has produced and released a Japanese subtitled version of Tomo Fujita's lesson video, "Soft Picking Technique."

The concept of "Soft Picking"

What's discussed in the video isn't just picking techniques.

How to hold a guitar pick.
Picking position.
Pick material.
And then there's "creating sound without straining."

Tomo Fujita carefully explains the soft touch and nuances of sound that can be achieved by not gripping the pick too tightly, but rather letting it "release" naturally.

"I end up tensing up when I try to produce a good sound."

This book offers a fascinating perspective on the common struggles faced by many guitarists, with Tomo sharing his unique philosophy.

The pick is the very essence of "sound creation."

The video also touches on the materials used for guitar picks.

Using a slightly flexible material rather than one that is too rigid results in a more natural attack and touch when picking.

This reminds us that a guitar pick is not just a consumable item, but an integral part of sound creation itself.

At PICKBOY Guitar Pick Store, we offer a variety of models, emphasizing the differences in sound caused by materials, thickness, and shape.

We also confirmed this with Tomo Fujita himself.

We were able to have Tomo Fujita himself review this Japanese subtitled version, and we were very pleased to receive his kind words.

As PICKBOY, we are very pleased to be able to share this wonderful content with guitarists in Japan.

The model used is shown here.

Here is Tomo Fujita's signature model, which also appears in the video.
