Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom

Hello Guitar Wizards! Hope you are all great!

I'm looking for videos or advice on how to practice smoothly transitioning between using a pick and fingerpicking, without needing to drop the pick. Do you have any exercise suggestions? Is there any lesson from Tomo on this matter?

Thank you so much! Hope you are all having a great guitar learning journey!

Hi Sergio ! Hope you are great too !
Here one lesson https://tomovhxtv.vhx.tv/videos/tf-lesson-012-2-fingering-exercises
include ' Crazy Chromatics ' I think is about this .

I'm trying to learn how to switch between finger picking and using my pick smoothly too Sergio.
I always drop my pick eventually.
I'm not sure where to put the pick while it is not being used so I can still finger pick
and then switch to my pick quickly without dropping it constantly.

I think you need to find something that works and just go with it. I've tried to use the method that Tomo does by tucking the pick between my index and middle fingers, but that just doesn't work for me. The way these fingers fit together just makes this an impractical solution for me. However, this method works quite well for me. Give it a shot and see if this is a solution for you. If it works, great! If it doesn't, try something else! And after watching this, it looks a little awkward. It's much easier to make this transition fast. Slowing it down for demo purposes makes it look more cumbersome than it actually is.
