Hi Tomo-San. These exercises and practice routines have helped me so much. I've only been using these chromatic scales for a couple weeks and can already feel the difference with my dexterity and sustain. I was using Fender Play for a few months and was frustrated with the lack of real instruction. I feel like FP is only meant to teach you a few songs for immediate satisfaction without teaching the fundamentals and proper technique. I signed up for your Guitar Wisdom and within a week learned more than what i did with Fender Play after 2 months! I highly recommend Guitar Wisdom if you are serious about LEARNING guitar, not just memorizing a few notes and playing a song. I can't tell you how much your instruction has meant to me....Thank you so much Tomo-San!
Makes sense because Tomo teaches at Berklee, a top musical college. Fender play is just some companies attempt to make quick cash with people ment to give instant gratification to hook them. I personally am taking my first year to myself learning by various teachers and techniques and see what I'm lacking instinctually and focusing on not making embedded errors. I noodle without guidance, and practice specific things I look up. Like this video, love quick practice techniques that are difficult to do but simple to understand.
I have been doing these exercises for 3 days straight now since Tomo recommended them to me in another comment. I am definitely noticing a difference in finger dexterity. Having said that, there is a place for “instant gratification” type lessons that can help a beginner feel like they are making quick progress and stay motivated. If you tell a novice to do chromatic exercises every day, at some point they will get bored and switch on Netflix. It sounds like you have outgrown that stage, which is why you can appreciate the depth of Tomo’s teaching.
Dont worry Don't compare, Don't expect too fast Be kind to yourself. I read this and it really hit home. To everyone watching, keep practicing, you'll reach your goals. Sending love to Mr Tomo and everyone else❤️
Hi Tomo! Thank you so much for your YT videos. I've never been able to afford a guitar teacher and have always feel like I'm spinning my wheels to a certain extent. It's so refreshing to have you teach the way you do. You don't take yourself too seriously and I love how you focus on the foundations. I've been practising the chromatic exercises for a few weeks and I can already see progress and the best part is I'm starting to make less string noise. I've watched so many of your videos and am learning more from you than any other YT teacher. No memorization, all understanding. I also make the plunge and have subscribed to your Guitar Wisdom courses. Can't wait to learn more. Cheers Tomo!!!
You're very welcome! So happy to be helpful! Good job! Guitar Wisdom is so special place! You can't find same quality at any TH-cam videos. This Should Have Been Your First Guitar Lesson - Chromatic Scale th-cam.com/video/m2hvyzmBgxg/w-d-xo.html
Tomo Fujita-you are an international treasure. All that talent and knowledge housed in a gracious, empathetic, open-hearted vessel. Amazing. Thank you.
You've already helped me a ton! I joined your website last week and my strumming instantly improved. Now I can do 16th notes with ease on my metronome, and switch between strum patterns like never before. Thank you!
Great! For my little finger to get closer the fretboard is 1434, 1424. Cause my little finger was weakest. Bending with it is good too getting stronger. Play the weakness out 😎.
Thank you for sharing! That case, you can play around 5th fret or 7th fret to start. Bring your thumb position lower. Just do 1212 3212 3432 1234 or 4343 2343 2123 4321
Hi Mr. Fujita, I'm was listening to your "Coffee Talk" interview with Berklee's Kim Parlak and the guitar department. As an on=line Berklee student, I just want to say "thank you" for sharing your guitar journey and your wonderful words on the virtues of music practice. You are so very much appreciated!!! Have a Groovy Day! : )
It's funny when I see you do things... I do similar things but like a blind mouse.. I really don't know much of anything except I've done everything pretty much by feel and just listening... As a person who is profoundly hearing impaired and has hands like a kid... I think I even exceeded what I thought I could ever do.. Although I spent many years in the wood shed.. My father was a Horn player and Drum major at one point in his life.. He always stressed to me Melody and Phrasing.. I took those things to heart... Your teaching is amazing to me and inspirational... I thank you for taking the time to give us regular folks some tools to build on through your videos.. I cannot wait to see your Guitar Wisdom series.. You sir are a consummate teacher...
Best! I saw already about 5 or 6 lessons from Tomo Fujita Music. On my opinion one of the best guitar player teacher what i see. So simple, so powerful, so many true information, big thank master Tomo Fujita, my respect, great teacher. Everybody have a nice day! Just work, no magic!)

I have to seriously enroll in the Guitar wisdom series. I picked up the instrument in 2006 and been playing it for about 17 years. In the earlier years, the learning rate was quite fast and then suddenly I felt the skill plateaued out at some point. Since then I have gone in and out to revitalize the enthusiasm of my earlier years. I even bought three Udemy courses but never got past the first five or six lectures. I appreciate them courses but their instructions just don't click. And now coming to this channel and reading all the rave reviews and Mr. Tomo's positive vibes, I am convinced this is the Grand Master I have been looking for my entire life. Thank you.
That advice on the gap between your palm and the back of the fretboard is golden! When I started playing guitar I used to grip so hard my hand would get cramps. Then as the years passed I started focusing more on playing loose and with the left thumb in different positions. Basics that were never reinforced by any teacher, I'm so glad you focus so much on this. New guitar players please don't skip the basics, they might sound boring at first but they do pay off in the long run.
I was about to make a list of odd time signature rhythm to practice (but don't know how to create a good one) and this video showed up. Seems like I always got luck in guitar. Thank you Tomo-sensei.
I'm new to your teachings, I have been playing for ten years and have picked knowledge from as many places as I could but your knowledge is different. Thank you for your unique perspective. I will try this and I bet it works. 😎🌋🎸
Hi Tomo, you are a man of his word, you did the promised video of the 3 exercises for 30 days, so the one I have to work on is the Triad which is what I'm working on now, you are the best.
Hi Tomo, i love the way you explain , specially about the triads , very important , one little thing , when you do it the french way ...... DO MI SOL ...OR.... SOL DO MI make sure that you prononce the L for the SOL because if you do not "so do mi " means something else , anyway thank you very much for your videos , your are great .
Thanks for the lesson - simple but so effective. Am on day 2 and the fingering exercise is already highlighting how my second finger tends to slip a little on the fretted string, causing noise, when I'm about to move to the third finger. Never detected that before.
Saving... I am good with baby steps... Life in general seems like deja vu... AIN'T IT JUST AIN'T IT 😜 lols..... I am good learning something new again.....29 day start again .... thanks
just discovered your channel a little bit recently, as i repainted my electric guitar, and i feel like i should actually start practicing, i have been playing guitar off and on since my 18th birthday (2018) and haven't really improved much other than the basic chord shapes and punk rock power chords. Alot of your videos are very helpful! and i'm definitely saving them for later, also i might pickup another orangewood when i have the money for it next year, i really like the one you were playing in the unboxing i saw a few weeks ago, i believe it was the mason live, its a beautiful sounding guitar! i got the dana mini a few years ago, but it's a little too small for my hands, and i mostly want to move up to something similar like my dad has, and what my favorite band days of the new used. Martin's and taylors.
I had already seen another video about the chromatic exercise here on your channel. I have been practicing for the past 20 days and I can already feel the difference. 🙌🏼 Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏼🇧🇷 Stay safe Tomo!
I have spent lot of time without playing and trining on guitar so I start today with this daily routine exs ..I will let you know about results and some improvement I hope , I don't want to give up my passion and guitar playing thanks for your advice and great philosophy teachings

Hey Tomo. Your new CD is killer! The groove, Mo...The groove! Anyhow, I'm fairly competent with ex.2& 3 (need to dig deeper tho...I said "fairly.") but I recently realized--while trying to learn a bunch of country stuff--that the strength of my fretting hand ring finger is shit! For years, I've assumed and thought that my right hand picking was shit--it ain't great but that wasn't the bigger issue--it's my left hand. The weakness of my third finger was f%^&ing everything else up so i started trying to strengthen it on my own making up exercises. Then I found this in my feed a couple days ago! it's like Tomo knew i was struggling! LOL. just a couple hours with exercise#1 has revealed so much. Will start every day with it from now on and will dig intoyour other ones as well. Thanks Tomo san!
I’m enjoying your sight reading in Guitar Wisdom. I always wanted to get through the Levitt book. Stalled at Section Two First Chord Etude. I’m reinspired
This exercise looks great! I'm going to give the challenge a 1go, and balance it out with all the things happening in the universe ✨ Thank you for sharing this professor. ~JONva
Learning guitar for songwriting, ill try and wrap my head around the last two lessons after work. Im trying to figure out how to practice ideas of theory but its not always the easiest to understand how to practice. Thanks for the videos!
Interested to hear if anyone did this 30 days... I just learned barry harris's 4 diminished scales been playing with that. You play the one chord then the diminished chord on the next scale degree then you put it together the two chords and you have the scale ... really cool I especially like of the 4, the dominant flat 5! you have maj6/minor6/dominant/dominant flat 5. very beautiful sounds there! So just alternate the diminished and chord choice you got the diminished on the 2nd degree then the chord next inversion 3rd up ETC to when you come again to starting root inversion or whatever you started on. Then you can play 3rds/triad/7th so many choices! But remember you play 3rds on a sixth chord you have to do 5 to 6 when you get to 5 its not a third.
Hello Tomo, I really like the video, you are a great teacher! But I don't really understand the second exercise. I don't know what to do with my fingers and it sounds bad, so I would really appreciate it if you could help me a bit and explain it. Thank you so much!

“Learn how to learn” more transferable wisdom from Tomo-San that leaps off the fretboard and extends to every other area of life. I was totally inspired by…our librarian in 5th grade who shared a similar sentiment: knowing HOW to learn. The enthusiasm with which she told us “once you learn how to find the information you seek, you can unlock the doors of knowledge.” (And, I’m pretty sure she was simply describing the Dewey Decimal System, lol. But, she had my total attention.) Great educators change lives for the better, giving their students tools to be their best in any endeavor. Thank you, Master Fujita. Truly, you are one of the great ones.
Wow! Thank you. I never expect a creator’s response when commenting. An aside: my late father served in the C.I.C. (Counter Intelligence Corps) stationed in Japan during the Korean War. He was 21, living in Tokyo across from the Emperor’s Palace with “rank and privilege” to Captain, a house man who cooked, washed and pressed clothes, shined shoes, chauffeured. Pretty heady stuff for such a young buck off the ranch in South Dakota, a place to which after this worldly journey, he knew he could not return, too small it was for his expanding mind and heart. Oddly, he was a Mennonite who could have conscientiously objected, but, his father dead, felt compelled to answer his draft call. I was raised with the greatest admiration and respect for Japan and its people. Only when I was older, did I realize, without my father‘s service he would not have ventured forth and I would not exist at this time in this body. Wow. So fortunate am I.
Thank you for your insightful and profound knowledge Sir Tomo! I've done fretboard location exercises and although I know a fair amount of where each note is located in the fretboard, but I don't really know how to apply that to stuff like soloing, until you introduced me to the capabilities of triads! I haven't started yet but those explanations regarding triads and inversions cleared many of the questions I have about my fretboard knowledge. If you have time, I have a question: I've adapted the classical way of playing guitar(although I use acoustic) and I've read and learnt classical pieces by myself so I don't use pick. I'd like to learn how to strum more proficiently because I am really bad at strumming, but I'd like to do it with my fingers instead. So is it practical to learning great strumming techniques in classical position and with fingers? Strumming is something I neglected because I thought fingerstyle guitarists don't need that, but now that I want to dive in to jazz and blues, I'm craving to get really good at it!

Thank you!
The crazy chromatic scale is what got me here a few months ago. Still great stuff. The guitar wisdom classes are great.
Good job! Thanks so much!
you make my 71 yr face grin when watching your pointers here , , my guitar mentor told me " John , you can pretend , or you can practice " 🙃
Great to hear! Guitar is amazing! Thank you!
Tomo Fujita-you are an international treasure.

I love all my students! Thank you!!
I'm starting to use triads to play around the chords in major keys at the moment. You really built a big foundation for me Tomo, much love.
Good job! Thank you!

ギリギリこんにちは。
毎日トモさんの教えてくださっている動画を拝見していると英語ですが、随分分かる様になりました。シンプルだけど大切な事。とても勉強になっています。因みに60歳を過ぎても未だにguitarが楽しい←(私事ごめんなさい。)のはトモさんがおっしゃる通りguitarは底なしだから。・・と改めて痛感しています。これからも楽しく頑張ります。ではでは、ありがとうございます。
ありがとうございます！７０歳の生徒さんもおられます！ボクの耳と感性でギターが弾ける本、トライアドの本、独奏エチュードの本で頑張っておられます。ギターは底なしです！
Thank you Teacher. This has to be the most useful 12 minutes of guitar wisdom I've ever seen.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow Thank God for people like you ,for your kind wisdom, Thank you.

Thanks sansen. Will try 3 days first!!!
You can do it!
Hey Tomo. Your new CD is killer! The groove, Mo...The groove! Anyhow, I'm fairly competent with ex.2& 3 (need to dig deeper tho...I said "fairly.") but I recently realized--while trying to learn a bunch of country stuff--that the strength of my fretting hand ring finger is shit! For years, I've assumed and thought that my right hand picking was shit--it ain't great but that wasn't the bigger issue--it's my left hand. The weakness of my third finger was f%^&ing everything else up so i started trying to strengthen it on my own making up exercises. Then I found this in my feed a couple days ago! it's like Tomo knew i was struggling! LOL. just a couple hours with exercise#1 has revealed so much. Will start every day with it from now on and will dig intoyour other ones as well. Thanks Tomo san!
So great to hear that. Thanks so much for listening my cd BLUE SKY!
This video lesson will give you good technique to express yourself.
He just made it
And it's very enjoyable

This exercise looks great! I'm going to give the challenge a 1go, and balance it out with all the things happening in the universe ✨ Thank you for sharing this professor.

Learning guitar for songwriting, ill try and wrap my head around the last two lessons after work. Im trying to figure out how to practice ideas of theory but its not always the easiest to understand how to practice. Thanks for the videos!
Many choices so this is one of important choices! Thank you!
Thanks! Ended up subbing to guitar wisdom.

Thank you so much!
Tomo, like always, I love your lessons. But I'd love a demonstration of how to use the triads in my playing once I know them, which I do. Thanks!
Great to hear that! Thank you!
Thank you for the tips sensei!
You’re welcome
Interested to hear if anyone did this 30 days... I just learned barry harris's 4 diminished scales been playing with that. You play the one chord then the diminished chord on the next scale degree then you put it together the two chords and you have the scale ... really cool I especially like of the 4, the dominant flat 5! you have maj6/minor6/dominant/dominant flat 5. very beautiful sounds there! So just alternate the diminished and chord choice you got the diminished on the 2nd degree then the chord next inversion 3rd up ETC to when you come again to starting root inversion or whatever you started on. Then you can play 3rds/triad/7th so many choices! But remember you play 3rds on a sixth chord you have to do 5 to 6 when you get to 5 its not a third.
Thank you!
Saw this on instagram, let’s have a look
Thanks so much
Hello Tomo, I really like the video, you are a great teacher! But I don't really understand the second exercise. I don't know what to do with my fingers and it sounds bad, so I would really appreciate it if you could help me a bit and explain it. Thank you so much!
Don't worry! These are better!

“Learn how to learn” more transferable wisdom from Tomo-San that leaps off the fretboard and extends to every other area of life.
I was totally inspired by…our librarian in 5th grade who shared a similar sentiment: knowing HOW to learn. The enthusiasm with which she told us “once you learn how to find the information you seek, you can unlock the doors of knowledge.” (And, I’m pretty sure she was simply describing the Dewey Decimal System, lol. But, she had my total attention.)
Great educators change lives for the better, giving their students tools to be their best in any endeavor.
Thank you, Master Fujita. Truly, you are one of the great ones.
Thanks for sharing, Anybody can get all information. Information is dead thing but if you learn how too... then amazing! Make nicer people!
Wow! Thank you. I never expect a creator’s response when commenting.
An aside: my late father served in the C.I.C. (Counter Intelligence Corps) stationed in Japan during the Korean War. He was 21, living in Tokyo across from the Emperor’s Palace with “rank and privilege” to Captain, a house man who cooked, washed and pressed clothes, shined shoes, chauffeured. Pretty heady stuff for such a young buck off the ranch in South Dakota, a place to which after this worldly journey, he knew he could not return, too small it was for his expanding mind and heart.
Oddly, he was a Mennonite who could have conscientiously objected, but, his father dead, felt compelled to answer his draft call.
I was raised with the greatest admiration and respect for Japan and its people. Only when I was older, did I realize, without my father‘s service he would not have ventured forth and I would not exist at this time in this body. Wow. So fortunate am I.
You're very welcome! Thanks so much for sharing.
Really helpful content
Glad to hear that!
Thank you Tomo-sensei. Because of this exercise I found out that I have no strength in my left hand.
You are welcome!
You are amazing 🔥🔥,Still waiting on the Ted Greene video ❤️❤️
Thank you!
Triad is like broccoli! 😂🙏🏻👍🏻
You got it!
Thank you for your insightful and profound knowledge Sir Tomo! I've done fretboard location exercises and although I know a fair amount of where each note is located in the fretboard, but I don't really know how to apply that to stuff like soloing, until you introduced me to the capabilities of triads! I haven't started yet but those explanations regarding triads and inversions cleared many of the questions I have about my fretboard knowledge.
If you have time, I have a question: I've adapted the classical way of playing guitar(although I use acoustic) and I've read and learnt classical pieces by myself so I don't use pick. I'd like to learn how to strum more proficiently because I am really bad at strumming, but I'd like to do it with my fingers instead. So is it practical to learning great strumming techniques in classical position and with fingers? Strumming is something I neglected because I thought fingerstyle guitarists don't need that, but now that I want to dive in to jazz and blues, I'm craving to get really good at it!
Thanks for sharing. Thank you!
Ah, now I can reuse my Mickey Baker’s complete course in Jazz guitar book 1 🙂 with you to help me understand it.
Great suggestion! I am making more sight-reading course (Modern Method Guitar Book ONE) at my Guitar Wisdom now!!
Man that second one might sound simple but its actually very difficult and foundational!
Good job! Thank you!
