You don't simply just give lessons. You don't simply just say, "Here's something... Now go and practice that." You go into and give all the small details and info that goes on HOW you should practice and WHAT you need to practice to improve as a guitar player. You are a rare gem, sir.

Tomo-san, I’m entranced by every aspect of your video. When you said at 10:25 that you had probably already lost 200 people due to the slow pace, I laughed but disagreed. Personally you had me hooked. You really honor the guitar and your students by making these videos. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow and begin applying this information.

Thank you so much for the gracious reply. It is definitely not an easy exercise, as you say. There are a lot of details to take note of and apply, and if I do so I’m certain that I’ll improve. Btw, your instructions on minding posture and your apparent enjoyment of the sounds have made it enjoyable rather than a chore. Beauty in simplicity! Huh, I never thought about that regarding the guitar. I’m not from a musical background. Thank you again.

when I was first taking guitar lessons back in the 90's my teacher was great he played in a country band at the flying w ranch and taught guitar on the side. he taught me to read music and he showed me that chromatic scale practice too not slow but just being able to hit every note correctly and then he showed me speed and alternate picking to make it sound amazing. you just reminded me of that so I subscribed and will follow you. i like how you teach super chill and informative and i like the idea of slowing down and hearing what you are doing.

To me when you play it’s like taking a journey down an unpredictable path where the journey is the most rewarding than reaching your destination! Thank you!

Hello, I just wanted to say thank you for your lessons. I’m just beginning after trying to learn on a right handed guitar (I’m a lefty). I have an acoustic and electric now and I’m starting to practice more often. Even tracking it in my planner, so if I miss a few days at least I know where I left off instead of feeling discouraged. Your lessons have been so helpful in my understanding and appreciation of music theory and practice. Especially your more philosophical tips and clear enjoyment of playing. It should be fun, it can be magical. Playing with the pedals reminds me of having fun and exploring keyboard settings when practicing exercises when I was younger. Would you suggest using a small step for the leg the guitar rests on while practicing to make keeping good posture take less focus? Thanks again

Mr. Fujita, thank you so much for all the content you post. I just subscribed! I wanted to ask... I primarily pick single-notes with upstrokes. I always have. It took me a long time to realize no one else really was. Downstrokes only occur for (most) chords, as well as when I'm playing multiple single-notes in quick succession. So, my question is, do you think it's worth it to adjust my technique after playing for multiple years? (I'm very mediocre, btw, but I try)

@TomoFujitaMusic 6 ай бұрын

when i take bending and use my fretting hand to mute all the other high strings , the string i press is tend to slip away , does that mean my pressing string method is weird? i must take a loong time to change this for my rake technique,,,

@TomoFujitaMusic 23 күн бұрын

Use both hands to mute any notes that could ring. You can search best techniques that you can use. Less pressure is must. Thank you for sharing! Just hit a note softly without laking.

Chromatic Scale not easy to get it perfect to sound good and the notes to flow right -- how long does it take to get this right all the patterns ????? few months ?

would you say then that rhythm is more important than melody ? weirdly enough I always knew that I can better my tapping or sense of time by just paying more attention but never liked the concept of practice since practice should be connected to everything as well and not just positions and general flexibility

@TomoFujitaMusic 2 жыл бұрын

Without rhythm... no melody... Somewhat it should have melodic rhythmic sense in your playing. Pure hardwork is always important!

@@TomoFujitaMusic I would like to know your advice on what kind of guitar to buy ( I don't have any and I don't have a lot)? Side note : *I used to play before on electric/country, I like every sort of guitar from electric to manouche to acoustic/oud. I feel like an acoustic would be good (because and I might be wrong, that I am able to transfer the techniques to whatever next guitar). * Thanks

Hendrix, Keith Richards and countless other pros were playing wrong by daring to move their thumbs to the “wrong” position. Got it.

But hendrix and keith Richard's played all the time like that so they were unbelievably good. Having a solid foundation is key, then you can break the rules
