Thanks bro I lost the right pinky I am from Appalachia "Bluegrass Land" I have had to relearn not proping my pinky I think it's a bad habit anyway but it did free up my hand . I'm not as fast but it's opening my mind to Blues , Jazz and improvisational lead playing . I had a Martin was a hardcore acoustic guy . Though I was lucky I taught and was forcred by teaching to learn electric .
ive been only playing tabs and i never had a guitar teacher, and i finally want to get out of "only playing tabs" and learn to improvise and playing by ear, you are really helping me to make those first steps thanks man!!

I am actually a subscriber of your course. I enjoy it very much! Actually i am stuck at learning the major scales, I’m not sure if you meant to learn the entire fretboard using the major scales or to only learn how to play the C, F and G major scales including the triads, would you please elaborate? Thank you for replying!

TomoFujitaMusic Hi Tomo, I had subscribed and started! Looking to join the forums and practice even more. I have my notebook and everything! :) Best wishes!
Ahh, the last two levels remind me of the Hanon exercises for Piano - I used to practice those like mad. Seems like they can be really beneficial for guitar too. Thanks king 🙏
I find it harder for me using this pattern, when I play with three notes per string it becomes very easy. So I practice it in two notes per string anyway. Excellent lessons thanks
Hi 🙋 greetinx Tomo. Im quiet new to your Chanel. Thank you o for giving a chance learning from you like this way. Hey your whammy bar is a lefties one, right? Burcley is to far and costive for me, so Im glad I found you here sir. One blessed love and nuff thanks for your good works. Grtx AnkuTom
Tomo, thank you. Most people teach to pick near the bridge. I play like you do. But teachers insist on the bridge way. I just don’t like the sound closer to the bridge. Too bright. Also it’s easier for me to get wider dynamics range and snappier attack because string have more give closer to the neck. The only noticeable downside - speed and in some cases muddiness.
I was a teacher for years theory and such and I never taught to pick near the bridge... But... If u crosspick the way George shuffler played ... It sounds a little like a bridge
Why would they teach you to pick near the bridge? Aren't you supposed to know how to get brightness and warmth out of the guitar as and when you need it?
Yes! That's so important! Using a strap...how to sit... not couch... Thanks so much! I teach much more detail video lessons and super easy theory lessons at my Guitar Wisdom! Just added new lessons!! tomojustfunky.com/tomo-fujita-guitar-practice-advice/

very well explained! and very useful too of course! just one little thing: I'm Italian and it seems to me you're singing the major scale saying "ti" (B). Maybe I'm wrong but, just in case, it's "si" with S. anyway, thanks a lot for your lessons!
@@TomoFujitaMusic I've done some research in my old music books and they say that the "SI vs TI" use varies regionally. I knew the name came from a medieval Gregorian chant but your names are right too. Bottom line is that you're a very skilled player and your 1 on 1 impro video lessons are tons of soloing hints I've been stealing from you from months! Sorry for that btw 😉
I can imagine it's probably level 50 for those Berkley students you can't even get in that school if your not rich or your close to being a virtuoso in your instrument I bet and of course sight reading you better have that down but that's OK a lot of greats didn't go to prestigious music schools ether
That guitar, too ugly. It distracts from the lesson. Just send that to me, I will make it pretty, and not send it back to you. Maybe stickers, a new pick guard, a John Mayer fan or three who just wants to ‘touch it,’ whatever it takes!

Thanks for watching!!!
Do you palm mute after playing each note, or each last note on a string?
mute thicker strings than the one you are playing with palm
Will this work in other major scales?
Just in case, you should know these fingering exercises and make sure that you can play them really clean! Can you play?

You're welcome! Everyone pick any ways they want! I just wanted to show my approach to all my students!
I would very rarely play by the bridge, and also rather dislike the bridge pick up on my les paul.

thank you for the really clear demonstration... by the way, what happened to the tremolo hole of the bridge???
You're welcome! So nice to hear that! This guitar is a Fender SRV signature Staratocaster so lefty tremolo!!!
Tomo, you mentioned right hand muting but you don't explain what part of your hand makes contact with the strings. It's hard to see. Please explain.

youtube put toooo much ads on the video now. 10 minutes got four times ads and some one cannot even skip, it really interrupts the lesson.
Warmer picking position - worth the whole video. How do you quell the problem of accidentally muting the target string? Biggest issue..
So great to hear that! Practice slow!!
