And don't forget to breathe. One of the things that I used to notice myself doing when I was a beginner was focusing so much on my hands that I would hold my breath. If you hold your breath the lack of oxygen will cause fatigue in your arms and your brain. When you breathe your body relaxes and you gain endurance in your muscles which helps develop muscle memory.

5:40 'Make Effort, Always make effort' (as we are being taught to RELAX our fingers). I love this. So many students tense up when trying harder. I always say, you need to try harder, which actually means relaxing parts of your playing mechanisms. Thank you for these great lessons. Very beautiful.

You are probably one of the best teachers on TH-cam that I have run across. Very few people stress the no finger noise or strumming different strengths.

@Matt Spencer depending on the song or tones your looking for.. finger noise is bad for recording and just live performances. I have heard many people I try to teach say they can’t stand an acoustic because the screeching sounds. So it’s also a plus for the listener. A good example of finger noise and proper use would be “ain’t no sunshine” by black label society. Listen to the way he uses the finger noise by sliding up and down the frets!

There you go, something no other teacher stresses enough! Look at how precise and 'on the fret' his fingers are. That's one of the 'no finger noise' secrets. You gotta stay as close to the fret as possible. The more you are 'between frets' the more finger noise you'll get. Tomo's precision on that is amazing! Domo-Domo, Sensei!
Tomo I can't get over your playing! We are all blessed to have John Mayer's teacher as our own. I am so inspired to get better and actually learn because of you and your channel!

Your knowledge it's incredible but what amaze me the most is how wise you are!. Besides the guitar related learning I got from watching your videos I always left your channel with really nice and useful life advices and lessons! You're the best for that reason.
I've stopped practising guitar since October, 20 because I moved to new house. Since then, I become lazy to start practising. Today I found out your youtube about this topic. Watched it, got inspired with the word 'stop worrying & don't compare'. After this, I'll start my guitar practising again. Done subscribing your channel. Thank you for your awesome sharing. Keep on the good work.
I've watch countless guitar tutorials, lessons, and practice videos, but I've never had someone emphasis the fact that guitar playing is supposed to be fun. This was refreshing and I think I've found myself a new teacher!

ha dude ...you know about 50 years ago I studied with this teacher fromPMA and the guy was a great guitar player' he gave these same type of finger exercises... I could not stay studying with the guy because my life was so crazy and unsettled... now some 50 years latter I am studying guitar again.. for no reason but the love of working at the guitar... its a good thing for the spirit... and I just discovered you videos... Domo arigato from the Phila Pa area !
Tomo, you are so genuine. it's your biggest asset and that's saying a lot cuz you're a hell of a musician, teacher and player. You have an awesome personality and your presentation is spot on. I just love how you just think out loud while you're making these videos I got five minutes left to watch in this one!!I love it! Thank you so much for putting this content out. Peace
You're very kind! So nice to hear that! It's very hard to be good at both sides evenly. Once people argued about this "You cannot teach well if you are a great player!" Or "If you are a great teacher, you can play well" That's just nonsense that is from common sense in the past. I am working on TODAY! Thanks so much!

The greatest teachers I’ve ever had in anything are the ones that tell me to focus on myself and not compare… when you drive constant comparisons out of your mind, you have more focus on your own progress.
I like the analogy about a surgeon not needing a license, there's so much info out there, some good (valid), and others not so good. This one is good, thank you!
This is the first thing my guitar teacher taught me on my first lesson., thats pretty cool that my favorite youtube guitarist recommends this too..Lol its been a month and im still not very good at it, I still have problems with strumming but gotta keep practicing!

I been doing this 2 weeks now, every morning . Already I have super results. I have never done exercises, I figured that playing a bunch is all I needed to do. Well, I had a weak 3rd finger . This exercise has made that finger way way stronger. My accuracy reading and confidence in my fingers has dramatically increased. I was reading "Ceora" this morning , definitely a tune where you need 4 good fingers on the left fretting hand.

Thanks for posting this. I played professionally my whole life and 2 years ago I caught the tip of my index finger in a table saw cutting the nerve but the finger tip was spared, more so the finger tip pad that presses down got cut and grazed the bone So after 2 years I can finally press down now though if I hit the cut over the bone it can really create a sharp pain and burning feeling . So I am learning to avoid that area best I can. Anyway after 40 years of playing you really dont lose all you knew. But these scale runs help me build the weakness back the two years of not playing has caused.. I look forward to practicing to you viideos, these a nice structured videos. Thanks
Your story is similar to mine in many ways. 40 years playing .. I ran a skilsaw through my left hand years ago . My first thought " My fretting hand!!!" Oh no .. fortunately the surgeon was able to reattach my index . The saw mowed off my thumbprint completely and dug in a middle finger a little .. 12 years before that I fell headfirst toward the floor and snapped my left hand . Stretched the tendons and spent 8 months in hand therapy learning to pick up pegs individually . Then in 2019 my right thumbnail was suspiciously degrading black and devouring my thumb . . For close to a year my warmup was first bandaging my thumb . Sometimes bandaging it lightly so I could try to fight through the pain and play .. That ended up muting the strings with blood running down the guitar and smothering the strings .. I was heart broke .. eventually went back to my friend hand surgeon . He looked at my thumb and looked at me " How long has this been going on ?" I told him a year . . Told me he has never seen anything like it that bad .. Told me it looks like melanoma .. Sure enough .. malignant melanoma . Told me my thumb has got to go and a coordinated surgery to my lymph nodes to see if the cancer spread .. It spread .. To my brain and is stage 4 .. My heart dropped even further . I tried to use a pick but it kept spinning out of my fingers until my middle finger got used to holding the pick and the geometry of pick attack . For 3 month I gave up playing . Until I fought through the fumbling . My fingers on my left hand felt like they were in molasses and concentrating on coordination . Made me forget scales . Always knew that limbering up and running chromatic sequences generally break the ice and now I wasn't concentrating on the fumbling and it came back " Somewhat " . When I get down and no matter the pain and tears .. I run the patterns to loosen up .. and surprisingly .. In pain , heartbreak and tears . The heart surges and out comes some of the most amazing music .. My father told me in 1979 when I begged for a guitar " You'll give it up in a week " 40 years later .. I haven't and never will

Just that sweet little progression at 14:44 kills me... gonna have to write that one down... Thank you for the exercises, sir! Doing a bunch of them now, and it's a fun challenge!

You are the best!!! I wish you and all your family a Merry Merry Christmas and thank you so much for being humble and honest, May God bless you and always keep you well...
This octave-jump exercise is definitely insane. Exactly what I needed in order to memorize the notes on the fretboard, where I tend to go for intervals more than shapes (you know, music more than muscular memory)... But that was harder without looking for the note name 2 seconds and then be lost. Thank you sir, now I can learn my notes and intervals in a funny way, nearly 10 years after beginning guitar! PS: I've been practicing these kind of chromatic lines for a year, sometimes hours a day, and it more than doubled my speed AND musicality (even if it's not important in black metal...). Please consider having this kind of daily routine and you'll really make progress soon. Posture, thumb positioning, playing the nearest from the fretboard, warm-ups, non-musical exercises then arpeggios, chords and keys. Be patient, persist and "don't compare to others"

@@TomoFujitaMusic Simple exercises like this, simple practice, even a little every day will help very much ...it's like putting money in the bank, if you put in even a little bit consistently, over time it adds up a great deal I'm 65 and wish I had done some of these things earlier in life and have played guitar since I was 15 chords and some finger picking I have done well for many years, but with a pick only strumming well, not leads in the last year I took the advice of Steve Stine for one very important exercise - a daily 3 minute flat picking exercise that strengthens holding and confidence with a pick ...where as before I could play alternate baselines I would always pluck with the thumb because I had no confidence picking out notes with a pick, now even at my age I am surprised how quickly I have improved with a pick What Tomo teaches is very important - it teaches both hands and it teaches the ears as well Thank you so much Tomo

Mr. Fujita, You make me smile ( inside my soul ) ,, I think I laughed for 10 min. when you said " I Talk To My Cat " ... Thank You Sir for sharing & Teaching us to Be good to our selves .. You are Loved ...!
I've been doing this routine for about 2 weeks and I notice already some progress with my dexterity and controll. I still have to take a brake every 1-2 strings because of the pain but slowly im geting better and better. All of that takes way longer than 5 minutes :D
I love this video. I use it all the time for refreshing the Muting, and muting sucks at first.I kept killing all string. I have really bad muting on chords that have Strings in between that need muting. I spend so much time doing these types of exercising being an older IT IS IMPERATIVE FOR US TO DO THESE. I know a ton of song beginning and some riffs. I focus so much on dexterity and understanding why i make these sounds. Great video much appreciated!!

Life lessons as well as guitar and music lessons. Great teaching and advice :) When learning anything, consistency is key. It's so important to practise every day. 20 minutes a day is far better than 2 hours at the weekend. Set achievable challenges and step out of your comfort zone. Comfort is the worst addiction.

And don't forget to breathe.
One of the things that I used to notice myself doing when I was a beginner was focusing so much on my hands that I would hold my breath. If you hold your breath the lack of oxygen will cause fatigue in your arms and your brain. When you breathe your body relaxes and you gain endurance in your muscles which helps develop muscle memory.
Thats it Daniel!
Vare true, same issue right now.
I held my breath on everything I played. But my songs were only about 20 or 30 seconds long
I agree with that! 👍🏾👍🏾
I've been playing for30 years and still find myself not breathing right. Very good statement.

what is the importance of no finger noise? i’m a beginner
@Matt Spencer depending on the song or tones your looking for.. finger noise is bad for recording and just live performances. I have heard many people I try to teach say they can’t stand an acoustic because the screeching sounds. So it’s also a plus for the listener.
A good example of finger noise and proper use would be “ain’t no sunshine” by black label society. Listen to the way he uses the finger noise by sliding up and down the frets!
“Not bad, right!” From the man that has like 20 guitars lined up in the back!

Can buy 20 guitars but for the skill you still need to work your fingers off.
he could be a seller..

There you go, something no other teacher stresses enough! Look at how precise and 'on the fret' his fingers are. That's one of the 'no finger noise' secrets. You gotta stay as close to the fret as possible. The more you are 'between frets' the more finger noise you'll get. Tomo's precision on that is amazing! Domo-Domo, Sensei!
Thank you so much! Thank you for sharing!
Boy would I love to be taught in person by Tomo, what a lucky bunch of students.
Thank you so much! Now you can join my Guitar Wisdom.

Your knowledge it's incredible but what amaze me the most is how wise you are!. Besides the guitar related learning I got from watching your videos I always left your channel with really nice and useful life advices and lessons! You're the best for that reason.
So nice to hear that! It's all my pleasure! You may enjoy my Guitar Wisdom! Thank you!
I've stopped practising guitar since October, 20 because I moved to new house. Since then, I become lazy to start practising. Today I found out your youtube about this topic. Watched it, got inspired with the word 'stop worrying & don't compare'. After this, I'll start my guitar practising again. Done subscribing your channel. Thank you for your awesome sharing. Keep on the good work.

ha dude ...you know about 50 years ago I studied with this teacher fromPMA and the guy was a great guitar player' he gave these same type of finger exercises... I could not stay studying with the guy because my life was so crazy and unsettled... now some 50 years latter I am studying guitar again.. for no reason but the love of working at the guitar... its a good thing for the spirit... and I just discovered you videos... Domo arigato from the Phila Pa area !
Thanks for sharing! Guitar is amazing! So much inspiration!
Tomo, you are so genuine. it's your biggest asset and that's saying a lot cuz you're a hell of a musician, teacher and player. You have an awesome personality and your presentation is spot on. I just love how you just think out loud while you're making these videos I got five minutes left to watch in this one!!I love it! Thank you so much for putting this content out. Peace
You're very kind! So nice to hear that! It's very hard to be good at both sides evenly. Once people argued about this "You cannot teach well if you are a great player!" Or "If you are a great teacher, you can play well" That's just nonsense that is from common sense in the past. I am working on TODAY!

I like that, "guitar teaches us how to enjoy our life". Lots of great practical tips and useful philosophy.
Glad you enjoyed it! Very important! We learn about life from Guitar!
The greatest teachers I’ve ever had in anything are the ones that tell me to focus on myself and not compare… when you drive constant comparisons out of your mind, you have more focus on your own progress.
Thank you so much!
I like the analogy about a surgeon not needing a license, there's so much info out there, some good (valid), and others not so good. This one is good, thank you!

I been doing this 2 weeks now, every morning .
Already I have super results.
I have never done exercises, I figured that playing a bunch is all I needed to do.
Well, I had a weak 3rd finger .
This exercise has made that finger way way stronger.
My accuracy reading and confidence in my fingers has dramatically increased.
I was reading "Ceora" this morning , definitely a tune where you need 4 good fingers on the left fretting hand.
Good job! Thanks for sharing. Do it much slower, less pressure!
So glad this was recommended, beginner here , really appreciate the techniques!

Thanks for posting this. I played professionally my whole life and 2 years ago I caught the tip of my index finger in a table saw cutting the nerve but the finger tip was spared, more so the finger tip pad that presses down got cut and grazed the bone
So after 2 years I can finally press down now though if I hit the cut over the bone it can really create a sharp pain and burning feeling . So I am learning to avoid that area best I can.
Anyway after 40 years of playing you really dont lose all you knew. But these scale runs help me build the weakness back the two years of not playing has caused.. I look forward to practicing to you viideos, these a nice structured videos. Thanks
Your story is similar to mine in many ways. 40 years playing .. I ran a skilsaw through my left hand years ago . My first thought " My fretting hand!!!" Oh no .. fortunately the surgeon was able to reattach my index . The saw mowed off my thumbprint completely and dug in a middle finger a little .. 12 years before that I fell headfirst toward the floor and snapped my left hand . Stretched the tendons and spent 8 months in hand therapy learning to pick up pegs individually . Then in 2019 my right thumbnail was suspiciously degrading black and devouring my thumb . . For close to a year my warmup was first bandaging my thumb . Sometimes bandaging it lightly so I could try to fight through the pain and play .. That ended up muting the strings with blood running down the guitar and smothering the strings .. I was heart broke .. eventually went back to my friend hand surgeon . He looked at my thumb and looked at me " How long has this been going on ?" I told him a year . . Told me he has never seen anything like it that bad .. Told me it looks like melanoma .. Sure enough .. malignant melanoma . Told me my thumb has got to go and a coordinated surgery to my lymph nodes to see if the cancer spread .. It spread .. To my brain and is stage 4 .. My heart dropped even further . I tried to use a pick but it kept spinning out of my fingers until my middle finger got used to holding the pick and the geometry of pick attack . For 3 month I gave up playing . Until I fought through the fumbling . My fingers on my left hand felt like they were in molasses and concentrating on coordination . Made me forget scales . Always knew that limbering up and running chromatic sequences generally break the ice and now I wasn't concentrating on the fumbling and it came back " Somewhat " . When I get down and no matter the pain and tears .. I run the patterns to loosen up .. and surprisingly .. In pain , heartbreak and tears . The heart surges and out comes some of the most amazing music .. My father told me in 1979 when I begged for a guitar " You'll give it up in a week " 40 years later .. I haven't and never will
Hope my lesson videos can help you.

This octave-jump exercise is definitely insane.
Exactly what I needed in order to memorize the notes on the fretboard, where I tend to go for intervals more than shapes (you know, music more than muscular memory)... But that was harder without looking for the note name 2 seconds and then be lost.
Thank you sir, now I can learn my notes and intervals in a funny way, nearly 10 years after beginning guitar!
PS: I've been practicing these kind of chromatic lines for a year, sometimes hours a day, and it more than doubled my speed AND musicality (even if it's not important in black metal...). Please consider having this kind of daily routine and you'll really make progress soon. Posture, thumb positioning, playing the nearest from the fretboard, warm-ups, non-musical exercises then arpeggios, chords and keys. Be patient, persist and "don't compare to others"
Thank you so much!

Simple exercises like this, simple practice, even a little every day will help very much
...it's like putting money in the bank, if you put in even a little bit consistently, over time it adds up a great deal
I'm 65 and wish I had done some of these things earlier in life and have played guitar since I was 15
chords and some finger picking I have done well for many years, but with a pick only strumming well, not leads
in the last year I took the advice of Steve Stine for one very important exercise
- a daily 3 minute flat picking exercise that strengthens holding and confidence with a pick
...where as before I could play alternate baselines I would always pluck with the thumb because I had no confidence picking out notes with a pick, now even at my age I am surprised how quickly I have improved with a pick
What Tomo teaches is very important - it teaches both hands and it teaches the ears as well
Thank you so much Tomo
That was a very helpful video Tomo. It helped me quite a bit!

I've been doing this routine for about 2 weeks and I notice already some progress with my dexterity and controll. I still have to take a brake every 1-2 strings because of the pain but slowly im geting better and better. All of that takes way longer than 5 minutes :D
Great job! I am happy to hear that. Actually you are doing it!
I love this video. I use it all the time for refreshing the Muting, and muting sucks at first.I kept killing all string. I have really bad muting on chords that have Strings in between that need muting. I spend so much time doing these types of exercising being an older IT IS IMPERATIVE FOR US TO DO THESE. I know a ton of song beginning and some riffs. I focus so much on dexterity and understanding why i make these sounds. Great video much appreciated!!
So happy to hear that. Muting, clean techniques are so important.
