Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom

So I am a returning member- I play professionally every week- I am a keyboardist pro- intermediate guitarist

Trying to figure out how to put together a plan from day to day- week to week kind of thing

Any suggestions appreciated

Hello George,

Welcome back, I'm a relatively new guitarist and member but I think I have a good grasp of navigating Guitar Wisdom.

Tomo has some videos on youtube that might help with structuring practice sessions.

There are links in the description of this video if you need a different skill level.

Do you have an area you would like to improve? Maybe one of the forum members can chime in on a suggestion.

Happy Practicing

Greetings George, very cool you are working the scene all kinds. Lessons are vast, full of techniques and musical wisdom; Really geared for all levels. I started at page 1 to build foundation that I really skipped over. Use the + my list to bookmark lessons and create a practice routine. Depends on interest, I bet you can find it. Working the chops of R37, the blue monk thread is great, so many great threads. I'd call out review the ET section like 30 lessons. There are jazz standards too, very cool. Basically having fun learning more guitar to better the fine instrument in this journey. Enjoy the process and enriching your practice routine.

Hey George! Welcome back :)

Since you're returning to Guitar Wisdom and already have a strong musical background as a professional keyboard player, you may find that many of the musical concepts transfer over quite naturally. The guitar-specific skills and techniques may be where you need more attention.

As far as structuring your practice, everyone has a different approach. Some people enjoy having a detailed routine, while others prefer a more flexible approach. In general, though, Tomo will often say that 10 minutes per topic is enough.

Rather than worrying too much about planning every day or week in advance, it may help to first identify your priorities. Ask yourself:
• What do you really know?
• What can you play well?
• What needs improvement?
• What are your goals?

Tomo's questionnaire may help with those questions:

As you work through those answers, I'd suggest starting from the top with Essential Chords and making an honest assessment of where you are. If a topic needs work, spend more time there. If it's already familiar, move through it and continue on. You can use that same approach throughout the lessons.
And don't underestimate the foundational material. Theory, triads, rhythm, ear training, and technique often seem simple at first, but they're the skills that support everything else.

I'm also curious how others here structure their practice. Do you follow a weekly routine, rotate topics, or take a more flexible approach? Feel free to share what's working for you. We learn better together!
