Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom

Normally I suggest to post only one video and one topic.
So this case, you can do all forms that if you want everyone to see them.

Please make one video. And just play it without saying note pitches.
That makes you to play each note. So you can practice that part by yourself.

Just say what you are going to play and play them. This way I can see HOW you play chords and
to see why you cannot play smoothly. This case, you are making yourself to play each note....

Thank you.

I think you should practice a little more simple chromatic scale for 1-2 weeks so that you can take last my advice to use it then I think everything will be more effective.

By the way, CAGED forms are just form and you don't need to play them like that.
E form and A form are simple chords. Just triads are connecting side by side.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you.

Tomo,

Well I deleted most of the videos and have left two drop-2 voicings (one 20 seconds, the other 30 seconds). I think that fits in your time requirement. As well these again are the ones you specifically asked me on the other post. You wanted to see my hands and thumb. I am complying with your request.

Apologies about the number of videos I just figured this was better than 10 posts with one video. I'm just trying to get feedback on your videos to make sure I'm moving in the right direction but am finding it confusing about how to get feedback. Hope this fits.

Thanks for changing videos. Simple way is better for everyone.

Those drop 2 voicings are just fine. I don't see any problems. Inversions are very unique!
This case lower positions are very useful but above 8th frets are not so useful for especially acoustic guitar.

After you play notes, you are not muting by your right hand palm.
Play them at once, sustain them then you need to release your lefthand and same time you need to mute by your right hand so
when you play them in music... smooth.

No problems. So sorry that I did not mention video posting requirement earlier.
Best to do one video (everything in) and within 3 minutes.

Thank you.

Tomo

Your poster is not good! Straight your back!

I have had such terrible posture for ages. I am very tall and find myself slouching too much and some lack of confidence. I am searching for a stool to help with that. Thanks for noticing!

Also, yeah, my muting is not done very well and that has been on my list for sure to work on.

And I will keep everything short and simple. I now understand that is the way you like it. And I guess that works with us students, too. Good to not be overwhelmed.

Cheers Tomo!

Thanks for your reply. I see... taller people got this posture problem.

I use Secret Lab Chair that I took arms off and it's so easy to adjust the height of chair. You can look up.

I just made this video so that you can see a few important points on this topic.
How To Play CAGED Form Chords in G & D

I will put this video format and basic rules soon.

Very important as short & simple so that it's easy to fix them.

Thank you.
