Important information here! I need to keep reviewing ear training more. Singing the intervals feels weird though. These lessons are really incredibly helpful to me. I use them along with the Guitar Wisdom subscription. Thanks for the guidance and direction.

Same as my approach. Learn the scale on 1 string. It enforces the person to recognize the sound and interval between notes. Along with triad/inversion practice in every key, learning the fretboard comes naturally, vertically and horizontally, I knew where each notes is. No memorization.

I guess you have to do a few fun things also to keep yourself from getting tired of learning too slowly and wanting to able to play like Tomo right away. Just keep telling myself that Tomo didn't learn to play "Just Funky" on first day! Thank you again.

I think "Don't ask" is the best answer for who just started learning musical theory. Knowing(NOT understanding) the basic concept of music helps you later. In my case, I started learning theories with Jazz basics. But I didn't knew anything of basic concepts back then, it made me lots of question marks in my head something like 'What is II V I?' and 'Why D chord is minor in C major key?'. Those question marks disappeared when I learned basic musical concepts(intervals, chords, diatonic chords, etc.). So, I also recommend "Don't ask" at the first time when you learning theories.

I just played along with you in the way I did and your info just kinda came in once in a while, Thanks. I will be signing onto guitar wisdom when I get back to work, Thank you Tomo I recently heard that the reason C is the place to start is because there are no sharps or flats in the C scale, rather than cause the middle C placement on the piano keyboard

Don't worry! Good job! You should learn any scale on One String One Finger first. Then think 3 things. 1) C D E F G A B C = name of notes 2) R M2 M3 4 5 M6 M7 = Intervals = Theory 3) Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do = singing = Ear Training These 3 things must at first lesson! Thank you for sharing! Please focus on this first. 1) This Should Have Been Your First Guitar Lesson - Chromatic Scale kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o5iYqdyr0qjLqJs.html Then do this.

I thought this sounded better in the key of C than even the Jam version video you did previously. It definitely sounded like it was in a lower key.

C major scale with one finger on one string. Fully explained. 16:00, I hear "dont ask". I'm thinking what? How can I not ask? Then I remember the first 40 years of my guitar playing. I didn't ask. I saw and repeated what I saw. Eventually my curiosity got the best of me and I've done nothing but ask questions for the last several years. By that time I had a framework to fit the answers into.

Great concept, why learning the major C scale is so important is that I need to lock in the step, step, half step, step, step, step, half step, sequence so when I start another key scale I will know where the half steps fall. The major C scale is the only scale that has no sharps or flats . So any other scale will require a sharp or flat to duplicate the step, step, half step, step, step, step, half step pattern?

Thank you so much! You can watch this video 3 more times then you will see those intervals naturally! Slow is good!

@russelljoplin2728 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you, Tomo-san, for sharing this important lesson. A practical question, if I may. With practice, I can hear the intervals and sing them as you demonstrate while going up the fretboard. I can also see the intervals up and down in the scale as I play on one string. The problem is that I don't yet have a connection in my brain between the note F, for example, and the "Fa" yet. Should I write out a table with M2 = Re, M3 = Mi, P4 = Fa, and so forth while practicing up and down and singing them as I go until I have the equivalence between the interval and the solfege tone locked in? Or is there a better way in your experience? Thank you for taking the time to teach us!

@TomoFujitaMusic 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for telling me... you can do everything super slow and as many as you needed with no expectation. Slow process is great! Maybe you can do in 3rds... Do Mi Re Fa Mi So... Do Re Mi Re Mi Fa Mi Fa So... be creative to make a few new sequences of simple C Major scale. Maybe next lesson! Series of lesson can really teach you how to play guitar! No best way! Look for harder way! You're very welcome!

For me the challenge is understanding where my fingers are supposed to go. I play the piano and I'm already familiar with all the theory concepts presented here, but when I look at my fretboard I have no idea what to press without figuring out the notes one-by-one...
