Thank you Tomo. Good video. I will soon be 63, still learning new things on guitar and about life. It keeps my mind sharp. Many years ago somebody told me to “remain teachable”, that was one of the best pieces of advice that I ever got from someone. Peace and be well.
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you
I injured my left wrist in 2017 and still get some pain. These stretches are so important! Thank you Fujita-san.
Thanks for sharing! Please do slowly
my favorite teacher
Thank you!
Thanks, Tomo! I have pains in my finger joints on my left hand, and right shoulder, elbow, and wrist. Playing guitar became the perfect exercise! It's slow going but I am so glad to have found you here online. Thank you, and oss!
You're welcome! Try some of these. Thank you!
Thank you, Tomo! And love the shirt! Great shop!
Glad you like it! Thank you!
Thank you Mr.Fujita.
Stretch is good for me.
(By the way, congratulations “500,000” members.)😎
You're very welcome! Thank you so much!
Hey Tomo I am 18 years old and your videos really help me out. I bought a notepad today and these stretches are going to be the first thing in it. Thank you
Great to hear! Thank you!
I do stretch my body everyday!
毎日クロマティック等、練習に入れて音を出す時に良い感じの日々が続いていた時に、弦を押さえる左手指やピッキングする右手が思う様に動かない日があり、丁度悩んでいた所でした。
この映像を見ながらストレッチをしたら身体に良い変化を感じています。
明日はギターを持つ前にストレッチしてみようと思います。
言われてみると以前リハーサルで手が動かず、手首をバタバタと1分間くらい振ったら上手くいった事を思い出しました。
フィジカルのコンディションは大切ですね😊
いつも大変為になるレッスンをありがとうございます!
シェア嬉しいです!ボクも毎日クロマチックとスウイングします
安定したテクニックが自由な演奏の基本です
I love your videos man. I just started playing guitar 3 weeks ago and your videos help me so much.
Thank you so much!
Master Tomo . I would really like it if you would give a lesson on how to get good legato. Thank you so much for all the knowledge you share. May many blessings fall upon you 💪
Thank you so much!
Sent to my wife who is a cellist and has some wrist/elbow issues. Thanks for helping both of us!
Great husband ❤️🙏👍
Thank you for your time & sharing your knowledge! Hope you have a Blessed St Patrick's day!
You’re very welcome!!
Thanks again, SO MUCH for doing this!!! To all
Those watching, follow this advice. Don’t needlessly injure yourself!
You’re very welcome!!
Boy, we sure need this. It's important to keep playing and this makes it possible. I'd like to know how to get my musical ear to be trained better. After 25 years of trying, I woke up and was changed. I can hear now but it's still needing refinement.
❤️🙏❤️
Thank you! So overlooked. I injured myself a few years ago and stretching and yoga fixed what 2-years of doctors, physical therapists, and medication could not!
You're welcome! Please watch this video too.

@@TomoFujitaMusic Thank you! I'll watch!
I have thoracic outlet syndrome from over 10 years of tension playing. This helped me warm up and just relax while playing. 🙏
Thank you for sharing! I do a lot of stretching exercises & workout so I can play better. Thank you so much!
That's a very important topic!
Thanks for sharing 👍
Have a great day 🙂
Thank you! You too!
Thank you Tomo, i am going to get the pickboy picks :)
You're welcome! Awesome!
Love the shirt!
Thank you
I’ve been looking for stretching exercises! Perfect timing!
Hope you enjoy!
@@TomoFujitaMusic hopefully this will improve the discomfort in my thumb on my fretting hand
@@scattystormborn Yes! Definitely you can improve your playing comfort level.

Should never hurt to play. Excellent exercises. Over my time of enjoying life, I’ve smashed and broken fingers. Dislocated a shoulder.
Constant bruised and banged.
Ever watch a cat or dog when they gently awaken. They streeeech out before they get up and walk.
So very important to meet the day with a good stretch before one rolls out onto the floor.
Patience with repetitive foundations. Relax. Breathe. Be well ~ in❤&🕯
Thanks so much for your request! You made this video! Thank you!
@@TomoFujitaMusic it's so important. People don't realize all the micro-muscles involved. Plus us elder ones just starting out have the bad habit of wanting to tip the guitar and hunch over to watch the frets.
So much harder to play chords that way and so hard on the back.
@@Jack.Waters Thanks for sharing. I do my body exercises & stretch everyday!
Congratulations on 500k subscribers here’s to many more.👍👍
Thank you very much!
*Hey Tomo Fujita GRATS on 500,000 Ssubscribers!*
Thank you so much!!
Thank You So Much! 👍😊
You're very welcome! Thank you!
I have been looking for some stretching exercises so this came just in time, really great. Thank you very much Mr. Fujita
You’re very welcome!
Thank you for sharing tomo! 👍
My pleasure! Thank you!
After my back injury I got that same chair, it’s fantastic. I find having correct posture and being relaxed when playing guitar is extremely important for comfort and long term back health.
Thank you for sharing! Good Job!

Glad you like them! You're very welcome! Thank you!
Thank you for this helpful video Mr Fujita 🎸
My pleasure!
thanks for the exercises!
You're very welcome!
Thanks Tomo, what a great warm up routine! I've had alot of injuries and tendonitis so this really helps. So important to relax too. Cheers.
You're very welcome! I do these everyday!
@@TomoFujitaMusic I think I will also from now on, instead of just before I play. Cheers!
tomoさん50万登録おめでとうございます㊗️私はまだ左半身の麻痺と闘っていてリハビリ治療中ですが、ギターを弾くのが大目標ですので、これこらもtomoさんを観て頑張りますよー!応援してますし、応援をお願い📣します!
ありがとうございます。シェアありがとうございます。この運動やりましょう!
Thank you, I will try and remember these. Guitar is one of the biggest pains in my life, but somehow still worth it. Releasing tension is one of my biggest struggles, clenching and gripping, rather than holding and caressing.
You're very welcome! Please don't play guitar if you have any pain! I use less pressure.

TH-cam recommended me this video two hours after I completely locked my left thumb playing some stretchy chords. The algorythm cares about me more than I do, apparently.
Thanks for the tips, Tomo!
Good job! I do this everyday!
Congratulations on 500,000 Subcribers Mr Fujita! Thank you for this video, I'm like many people who's work is a lot of manual labour so these stretches really help a lot. A video I would really like to see is advice and how to use diminished arpeggios and the scale in a blues. I hear it can be used in a blues context even in a 12 bar blues as great players like Robben Ford and Josh Smith use it pretty often, but I really struggle sometimes with how to use it and how get good phrasing with it because i often end a phrase or lick on a note that sounds pretty horrible and doesn't work very well. Thank you!
Thank you so much! You're very welcome! That diminished scale on blues... very popular one at my Guitar Wisdom site. Learn more chords!
Thanks for this, very helpful and encouraging!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much!
Loosened my forearm muscles in just a few days. They knotted up after he-manning grocery bags on one arm. Actually had the same problem lifting things afterwards. Stupid on my part, but great relief thanks to the stretches!
Please take care of yourself!
Thanks
Thank you!
Idea for content, How to tell if tubes or caps or whatever is going bad in your amplifier. The sound and visual, and maybe smells, that give indications of coming and present amp problems
I've bought used amps, and know very little about set up on them, but I know one of them, Fender Deluxe 85, sounds like it's got an issue, and I'd like to be able to correct it. Possibly mention where tubes and what tubes can be used in a pinch
Thanks for your time and Wisdom , Tomo
Years of experiences and I can tell something. Not 100% right.. but ... fun! I have a great amp tech near me. I bring all my amps to this person. You're very welcome! Thank you!
Musicians suffer from a higher than normal rate of injury(it can be a perilous pursuit). I severed 2 tendons in right hand which was 6 months of physiotherapy,,left index finger joint inflammation, right shoulder pain. I found a book about the TAO and how to breathe properly and the various techniques to help control pain , maybe TAO for musicians would be a benefit if one could demonstrate how to adapt it. Thanks again Tomo because you give us solutions that we can use everyday!
Thanks for sharing! You're very welcome!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Very kind.
Another thing i'd suggest to any musician is the Handmaster Plus. Absolute game changer.
Thank you!
Dexter always kind to himself. 😻
Yes! He is always so sweet
Daily yoga that always hits core, hips, hamstrings, back, shoulders, and neck + 3x weekly light core strength exercises. In the beginning it's better to do 5 to 15 minutes of focused physical fitness each day rather than nothing. Just like music practice. Longer is fine too, but consistency and reasonable goals work in the long term. Also, don't wait to address injuries and add in appropriate PT exercises used to address the injuries for long term prevention.
Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for the exercises Tomo 😁
You're very welcome!
I learned some similar warm up stretches in an Aikido class in the late 80’s while I was in Japan. After practice we also did some cool down stretching and breathing. The breathing was called balanced breath. Inhale, hold for a few seconds, slowly exhale, hold a few seconds, and repeat a few times. Imagine healing energy while inhaling, all soreness and negative energy going out while exhaling. This breathing is also called box breathing and is taught to special forces to help stay calm under fire. I wonder if you did any breathing exercise in Karate? Thanks for posting.
Thank you for sharing!!
I used to breathing exercises with Karate KATA
I used to pick up my guitar cold and play for hours and never had any problem. Then I hit 50. Never warmed up. Started hybrid picking. One day both of my elbows started hurting. I had tennis elbow in both elbows!!! So I had very bad pain for two weeks. The pain went down, but I really couldn’t play for another two weeks. So there’s a month of not even touching my guitar. Then I ease back into it, but I always felt this tightness in my forearm. But another year later, it happened again. Right when I had a bunch of gigs lined up and I had to cancel everything. Now I warm up religiously. You do not want tennis elbow!!!
Thank you for sharing. A lot of players does similar things (when young!) but after 50... things are changing. Very easy to get tennis elbow by over use. I practice chromatic scales religiously! So that I won't get any hands problems. Thank you!
Thank you. Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Free is very dangerous 😂 fair point good sir!
Yes!
Its easy for people to think that this stuff is unimportant, and I was one of those, as a younger man. But now, at 63, my arthritis is so severe, that nearly half of my day is spent trying to make my hands pain free enough to play guitar. And music is everything to me. To younger players in particular, take this stuff seriously. You are going to live much longer than my generation, so you’ll need something to keep yourselves occupied.
Thank you for sharing! Thank you!
Highly appreciate you, Tomo what length of time would you suggest to warm up every morning before practice?
You're very welcome! Thank you! 10 minutes is good!
I have been cut on every digit stitches on all but two one digit cut off and was saved by a doctor from India gave a lot of arm pain.... But I only say this to agree with you on exercise..... I have worked out even the nerve issue with the digits through squeezing a youth tennis ball....every other night....And also mentally exercise helps healing.... thanks 😎 Sir... I exercise 1 he every other day and do stretching every alternate day.... I could explain deeper but...for now..... Your speaking truth.
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for sharing
Excellent, as always! Thank you! As to what I’d like to hear you talk about: I’m writing an article for a guitar building journal focusing on the philosophical aspects of building, playing, and creativity in general. I’d love to hear some of your thoughts about these things.
Thank you so much!!
"It's free. Free is very dangerous you know.. no guarantee"😂😂😅
Yes! Free stuff is very dangerous! Watch out!
I have rheumatoid arthritis every where and in fingers 🇬🇧👍🤞
I hope some of these exercises will help you.
Hi Tomo ! Could you please explain guitar strings gauge ? What is a warmer sound on guitar ?
10-46 Pick warmer part of guitar!
Hello Tomo, thank you for your many helpful videos. I've been playing guitar for almost 20 years now and I still have problems figuring out, for example during a jam, whether I should improvise in a major or minor key over the accompaniment. Do you have any good advice for me?
Thank you so much! Maybe you need to prepare popular jam song. I just posted Just the two of us Chord progression. Can you play? If you cannot play then you need to learn chords. Without chords no one can jam!! Thank you!!
Learn chords & triads!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Thank you for the answer. So I'll have to work more on chord progressions, because I usually only have a bass accompanying me? Thanks again for the quick answer.
@@nyanya6436 Thanks for your reply! It's al about preparation & your pure efforts. There is no magic like "If you learn this, you can do this!" 1) Play simple chords 2) Learn triad inversions on each chord (123 set strings) 3) Play melody on one string. 4) Be creative! How's your rhythmic feel? How 's your note duration? and more! I teach more detail lessons at my Guitar Wisdom. (subscription online video lessons)
I often have pain in my thumb joints when i practice. I’m sure it’s in large part b/c I grip the neck too tightly. But if I don’t grip, it sounds awful.😬
If you have any pain, you should not continue. Stop. If you do something, slow down., simplify. It will take some time to get better.... be patient!
Hi Tomo! Love your videos! Do you have one on muting techniques?
Thank you so much! Yes!

Hi , I was recently diagnosed with swan neck deformity in my left hand index finger which is my fretting hand. Do you know of any guitarists who have this and how they dealt with it
Thank you for sharing! I am not expert on any of those. I am just teaching hand & body exercises & stretching.
Where can I buy your picks?
Thank you!

He has a lot of guitars, so he must know what he is doing (literally that much money invested in something means somebody likes it so to the grave)
Thank you for sharing! I am 59 right now. I still have time to get rid of many belongings. If I kept like this... too much job for my kids! My dream is to own less stuff. Being TH-camr & educator... I needed to own many guitars & learn them & teach people!
you have a cat named Max? So do I
