Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom

Thank you for sharing. My case... first year, I was just practicing chromatic scale side by side. Super slow is better for later.

Could you tell me which lessons so far did you watch on Guitar Wisdom?

Hope more people can share with you.

Thank you.

You can decide your pace! You can stay simple lessons and you can stay for a long time.

I did the beginner chords which familiar with. I know how to play them (em/am/a/c/d/e). Then I went into the power chords a little. I was able to do E5,A5,D5. I watched the first on triads because I had been watching them on YouTube anyway. And I watched it he theory 01(I got half way through that one). I will say tho your practice routine with the chromatic scale I love I’m getting familiar with the notes on each string/fret. Plus I write everything I’m learning in a notebook as reference so I can go back to it. And I also a little fretboard cutout in front of me so I can look down and see the notes as well.

Thanks so much for sharing! Good job! Please watch more triad videos.

Great! Please watch theory 01. Even just watching a few times.

Reviewing is very important so each video, you need to watch 3 times (at least)

Note book! Good job!

Thank you.

The mechanics part of playing takes a lot of practice so there is no way around that part whichever teacher you follow. From my experience Tomo is teaching in a really good way making you listen to sounds very early on. Also things are given through scale degrees which is rarely done but brings many benefits as you see why things sound different as they are simply different combinations of those scale degrees . Do you understand why triad shapes are as they are? Or R 3 7, R 7 3 chord grips? If not we can try and help. All music is 1 b2 2 b3 3 4 b5 5 b6 6 b7 7 1. If you can relate and find each on the guitar you can follow Tomo with understanding. The rest is endless practice.

Don't worry! You can practice simple chromatic scale for 10 minutes everyday!

This way your technique will improve. Even you are more advanced... everything will take more than a month or a few months.

My beginner Skype lesson student, he spent his first 2 months... he didn't feel any progress so he was very frustrated then I told him... don't expect too fast! So his 3rd month... he felt his progress!

So it will take a little more!

Thank you tomo! I won’t give up! The triads I was getting today made me feel really good. And I did the power chords which I did well with. I’ll keep with it! Appreciate your response❤️

You're very welcome! Slowly learn about the triads.

Great!

Thank you so much!

So happy to hear that!

You are doing so good!
