Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom

Hello Mr. Fujita

I have a question regarding lessons B12 and B13 in the beginner series. How much theory should I have learned before I get to B12 and B13 because in these lessons there was a lot of theory I did not understand.

The very first music theory video about the C major scale should be all you need. You only need to understand the intervals between the scale degrees of a major scale and the chord numbers based on the scale degrees in order to understand B12. He does make a passing reference to some more complicated things, but the lesson is not dependent on understanding that in order to make the key change in the example.

I think it is ok to learn a little songwriting chords, then learn a little theory, then learn fundamentals, learn the fretboard, learn some triads, learn a little reading .... all at once. Just go slow and review each topic.

Tomo does have a suggested order in his Guitar Wisdom introduction series, Exploring Guitar Wisdom and "How to Learn with Guitar Wisdom" (QAP02) in the Q&A/Proficiency section. The learning to read series starts right at the very beginning, from naming notes.

Here is Tomo's comment:
