Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom

Hey Tobi - you might want to jump on another thread from Timothy from about a month ago. There are several extra R37 videos from Tomo, plus other members' practice videos with his feedback:

Good job, btw!

Oh yeah - Scott has one too that is also rich with supplemental content:

Thanks so much for the link, Clay — really appreciate it!
I’ll check out that thread and the extra R3-7 videos.
And thanks for the encouragement!

Thank you so much, Tomo sensei — I really appreciate the feedback and encouragement.
I’m using only the middle pickup and no reverb for this exercise.

For the F7 R-3-7 chord, the main issue I’m noticing is with muting. When I try to mute, I sometimes get harmonics ringing out that are a bit hard to control. I’ll keep working on the muting technique and body movement with the tempo.

Separately, I have a general guitar question: my 3rd string tends to sound much louder, while the 1st string feels quieter. I’m wondering if that kind of string balance is normal or something I should address with setup or technique.

Thanks again for taking the time to listen and help!

You're very welcome Tobi. Great setting! The middle pickup is great!

It is very hard to control clean sound / muting tecnique on 5th string root / R 3 7.

Do you set your pickup height... slighly lower the bass side? I use 10-46. Maybe your string height from the saddle is not high enough so that your 1st string is not ringing fully (?)
