Hello all! Greetings from Portugal!

Hope you don't mind this thread, no questions yet. I would like to introduce myself here in this beautiful community with this video doing the Do Re Mi exercise with the help of my wife :)

I would also like to congratulate Tomo and this forum, this is a really special place!

I will continue with this exercise and the November challenge.

(Sorry for the sound, my practice amp is on is way from shop to my living room :D , recorded from phone with a Line6 HX Stomp trough a speaker)

Thank you!

Very lovely singing Do Re Mi exercise!
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for your kind words!
Guitar Wisdom community is so awesome!

Next one (for yourself)
Sing first then play those notes. (Not do as unison)
This way you can hear any intervals inside of you... easier to hear.

Good job!

Thanks for sharing, Sergio. So much warmth has somehow overflown from your video. I'm always a bit shy away from playing in front of my wife. Now I realize how much I've missed :)

Thank you Nicholas! How is your progress? I think I'm having good results, I thought this would be more difficult to learn so I never tried before. This method is great

Hello community! 🌞 Sunny day here in Portugal!

Tomo, I have a question about Learning the Fretboard without Memorization.

I have been doing the B and D string for about a month, but I realized that I have not been doing the exercise correctly on the D string where the C is further away from the open D string.

On the D string I have been doing the exercises (DoReMi - DoMi - DoReMiDo) starting on the C of the A string (Dó - Ré open etc).

I watched Tomo's video again and understood that I should start the exercise with an open D, right? (ReMiFa-etc)

Thank you
Sergio

Great question!

First please feel C chord! C triad... even simple open chord.

Then play any C Major scale from any strings so that your root is still C!

Just started to play from 2nd degree of C Major scale (Not D Dorian!)

So..... D string is Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do ....

Thank you!

Hello guitar wizards!
It was late, the amp was whisper-quiet, and my wife caught me noodling with the C major scale.
I thought I should share this with you as it is 😊

Have a fabulous weekend!

About the practice, I don't usually practice like this, I was practicing the positions of the C Major scale before my wife film this at the end of the exercise was tying to connect them and have a little fun exploring

Thank you Tomo!! 🙏 Wow great video and lesson! I appreciate this!
I feel like my journey is only starting, so much to learn! I'm grateful for your teachings!
True story about shapes, for a long time was the only thing people told me to learn, shapes and speed.
For the first time I feel that I'm really learning now and things starting to make sense with GW!
