Dear Mr Tomo Fujita
It’s great pleasure to follow your guitar lessons on internet, your lessons are very good in technically and strong in building up foundations to play guitar. I have been learning guitar since my childhood but I took little bit serious learning guitar 5 years back and came cross my great teacher on internet and keep changing the teacher I follow on internet with the time passes. When I first learn five positions of the minor pentatonic. It’s really open up and I started taking learning guitar very seriously I don’t want to best guitar player or the greats players rather just play melodic and put my feelings on songs I play. I find it you are the right teacher I should learn. I practice 4 hours daily without missing. Lately blues really taught my ear and I really want to learn blues.
When I was learning blues Dominant 7 cords four voicing R M3 5 b7 four positions those shapes came up very familiar for Me using the CAGED however in your lessons you never mentions anything’s about CAGED rather you have mentioned about interval which I find very useful and I started doing it.. My questions are
1..Any disadvantage of using CAGED?
2: Why Major 5 notes is not use to build up the domaint 7 cords in your blues first lesson R M3 b7
Thanking you so much to share your guitar wisdom..
Have a nice day

Here is Tomo's comment:
"Thanks so much for subscribing to my Guitar Wisdom, and for sharing your experience. I just want more people to enjoy guitar playing. Shapes and visualizations are easy to leach and easy to learn fast, but if you rely on them, it becomes difficult to play freely and musically. That’s why I teach the way I do (simple, with emphasis on intervals). You can see my teaching approach throughout my lesson videos. Please watch all 25 lessons in the Music Theory I section. Those will answer your questions."
