Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom

Busy day but proud to hit day 5 let’s keep going folks

Thanks guys! Good job! I proud of everyone of you!

Like Sammi said... please don't think about result or outcome!
Very important to focus little things and keep your strong commitment and believing this deeply.

It's 9:11pm in SF (12:12pm EST)
My flight is at 11:10pm .. I am at the lounge now.

In two hours, I will be heading to Hong Kong *16 hours!
I think I will be arriving around 6am in Hong Kong/Macau

First day will be my guitar clinic!
Looking forward to it!

I post things on my Instagram, X and Facebook.

Thank you!

Day5 And attention to thumb position and palm muting is showing improvement :). The unwanted noise is reducing, slower the better with playing (checking occasionally with stop watch to see that I am getting at least a minute out of each round).
Thank you!

Day 6: done.

As I work through the checklist mentally, I found myself needing to work most on thumb position and sustaining that fourth note. But, after a few days, this pace is feeling more natural, and, as you said it’s would, calming. Ten minutes went by too fast.

Safe travels,

Day 6 | Week 1
Today I will work on:
+ sustaining every fourth note
+ palm muting
✨

The sixth day is over!
A problem was discovered today:My hand was shaking a lot,and the posture changes all the time.
I found out from the video!So I think stability is really important.
I think It well make me to harvest confidence!
(: Good day,dear everyone ! :)

Day 6. My biggest challenge is relaxing my left hand, I’m now super conscious of all the unnecessary tension in my left hand. Thank you Mr. Fujita.

Week 1:Day 6

Focused on palm muting and moving my body. I am still a work in progress. Who knew these two items would be such a challenge?

Week 1: Day 6

I noticed that I tend to make more finger noise when transitioning from my ring finger to my pinky. I’ve been focusing on improving this to make my transitions smoother and quieter.

So far, so good. The only thing to mention is that putting your fingertips next to the fret on the lower ones is hard. But now I´m doing ok. I can focus on nearly every detail but I'm pushing the strings too hard and my left hand gets tired quickly. I feel comfortable with the exercise.

Day 6 thoughts:
• The beautiful thing about a 5-minute exercise is the flexibility. It’s a do-able chunk of time. In my household, it can be almost impossible to get more than 5-10 minutes uninterrupted. Some days I can’t even get to the guitar at all. But I can almost always squeeze in five minutes to focus this or some other exercise. If I can attach it to a longer practice session, then great! But I like this chromatic reason to always stay “in-touch” with my guitar.

Thanks all.

Today i focused on the palm muting.
less is more ! even slower today!

Overall noticing improvement!

Looking forward for week 2! :)

Best regards

Day 6 notes:

I focused on moving my body with the notes today and feeling each one.

I also worked on keeping my thumb in the centre of the neck, this is helping me in lots of my other playing.

Thank you

Day 6 chromatic scale of 10min. Focus on all noted practice items in my GW book with week 1. Today was a nice very quiet session that left me wanting to play a song off a record I don't even know how to play, yet :). Maybe try to sound it out. Was an interesting lead into what to play next. Amazed.

Focused on posture today sitting up straight relaxing shoulders and relaxing elbow. Still need to work on this and chip away at it. The picking definitely felt more natural today not sure why, noticed I didn’t have to think about it as much as the first five nights. Good night everyone.
