I had 7 years of classical education in brass instruments. Its crazy to me that even tnough we were taught and memorized 100s of scale exercises were wernt taught to think of them as intervals...it would have made so much more sense and gave us a better understanding of composing or improvising but i realize we were being trained to play the instrument not compose and only in jazz band did we improvise segments. The piano players were always better improvisers and i believe its because of the visual representation of the intervals as opposed to route memorization of scale.

I'm 72 with 2.5 years on the keyboard and 6 weeks on guitar. I LOVE music! I taught myself to read music during the pandemic and I bought a keyboard. Once I knew I can read and play music, I said to myself, "Hmmm ... If i know the keys and chords on a piano then I should be able to find the keys and chords on a guitar." I was right! MAN, I am so excited about learning and I play each instrument every day. I learn from your videos. I started backwards and learned to play sheet music but I have no music theory knowledge. I will start studying NOW. Thanks for giving me confidence.

Hi Tomo, I just wanted to tell you that you made me understand that my guitar loves me, and also how to love my guitar back. I struggle with ADHD and Anxiety and playing guitar the way you taught me quiets my brain and amplifies my soul. Since I've started to focus on the fundamentals, I can feel the discordant background noise in my heart turning into bird song. Everyday I wake up and I am grateful to live in a world with guitar. I focus on my fundamentals everyday, not because I want to play cool things eventually, but because the fundamentals themselves are so great to listen to and so fun to play. I appreciate every second I hold my guitar, and I think about my guitar every second I'm not holding it. Not only did you teach me guitar, but you also taught me confidence, self-love, gratitutde, patience and kindness. I thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Sending you all my love from Hong Kong.

Thank you Mr. Fujita. When I first came across your videos they were a bit over my head and challenging (that will likely always be the case), however, they have helped me immensely. I have never taken guitar lessons but I am learning much of theory and understanding intervals and triads. My guitar playing has jumped to new level as of late and you are certainly a piece of that puzzle. Thank you for all of this wonderful instruction.

@TomoFujitaMusic 3 ай бұрын

@HUGEHARDTHICKANDVEINY 3 ай бұрын

Intervals really take the randomness out of it! That's what scales and chords are based on anyway. If you want to take the knowledge further, this is based off of the harmonic series. For example, the reason major chords/arpeggios work is because they fit very nicely into the harmonic series. It's not that useful to know how to play what I'm about to describe by itself, but it really helped me make sense of intervals and chords in a kind of "aha!" moment in terms of how the actual physics work! Based off the open A string (which has a main frequency- 1st harmonic- of 110 Hz), you can create a major arpeggio from the 3rd, 4th and 5th harmonics (330, 440 and 550 Hz respectively). You can hear the sounds by gently touching the A string around the 7th, 5th and 4th frets respectively. The second note in there can also be played an octave down at the 12th fret (2nd harmonic at 220 Hz), but it's easier at the 5th fret. Note that because of the 12 tone tuning system we use, the actual major 3rd we use is a bit out of tune from the harmonic 3rd. Tuning systems try to approximate the harmonics, and there's a LOT of history behind it. We don't worry about that, but at some point you might think it's cool to learn more about. This is essentially what harmony is physically rather than reading from a chart!

Thank you for sharing! Try not memorize... take your time and repeat same part over and over so you be familiar so much later. Try to learn something very simple. Simple melody on one string or minor pentatonic using only 4 notes. R b3 4 5... not even go to b7 so this will be so special! Learn triad only 123 or 234 or 345 or 456 sets. Only one set. Please use a great " LIMITATION " so you can be so creative within that limitation. For music, I love limitation and for work, I love deadline! So great to meet you at NAMM!

The problem today is that people over-analyze stuff. modes are essentially just a way to connect a melody to a chord and how you transition from one to the other, by tension and resolution, it is nothing new, just listen to classical composers.I dont wanna be rude, but this doesnt teach people anything, all we need to do is listen to a wide variety of music, and find out why it works by figuring out the harmonic changes.

@@TomoFujitaMusic If you would title this video "you wont be the same guitarist after those 15 minutes" it wouldn't be clickbait , most informative material in my guitar life.

6:03 perfect interval signal for a shortwave radio station! Lots of good information here even if you're not going to Berklee. I particularly like the walking bass line under the chords in the B flat blues. Extra points for making your pants sound like a high-hat!

Thank you for helping me see how to get out of just playing vertically. I now know what I need to work on to improve. Excellent explanation - but I will enjoy the dedicated work I have ahead. This helps me make a plan on what I need to work on to make practice constructive. Thank you!
