Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom

Hi I've been a self taught guitarist for several years and I decided to subscribe so that I could expand my knowledge of guitar and ensure a strong foundation of fundamentals. I've watched Mr. Fujita's videos on how to navigate Guitar Wisdom as well as his video on self taught guitarists, but I am a bit overwhelmed by the amount of content and unsure where to begin. I know all my open chords and basic barre chords, can play a little lead, and a really strong finger picker. What video route would you recommend i watch to steadily grow without biting off more than I can chew?

Thank you!

I was in a similar situation to your self, I had some theory knowledge also. I found that starting with music theory section and just working through that helped me immensely, it filled in gaps I had and allowed me to approach improvising in different ways, The biggest take away I have from the theory vids is I know have an understanding of the modes and how they fit into the major scale.

I tend to practice/learn after work during the week with the site stuff then just have fun on my days off work by playing what ever I like. But lately I've noticed I seem to be able to put what I've been learning into my playing fun time..

I agree, the music theory is good place to start. I started by doing exercises from the section 2 “applied music theory” at the same time as section 1. The applied exercises are enjoyable and keep it interesting. It’s also a good way to find gaps in your skills and build a foundation to prioritize other sections of the web site.

Here is Tomo's comment:

"Thanks so much for subscribing to my Guitar Wisdom. I recommend that you start with the 'Beginner series' and 'Music Theory I' at the same time. If these sections are too easy, skip them and move on to another series. I also recommend that you check out the 'Sight-Reading' and 'Jazz Standards' series."

I’m a new member who has a tough time getting started. I appreciate all your comments and suggestions. Thanks 🎶
