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.
Glad it was helpful! So great to hear that. This lesson has Music Theory & Ear Training. Use both then its effective! Thanks for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom. Please enjoy Jazz Standards section! Great for your ears!
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.
The easygoing attitude and the examples made the lesson very enjoyable for me. I think I learned to play the magor C scale on a single string. Maybe the major E one as well. Thank you, Tomo 🙏
Hi Tomo- Ive watched many of your videos -but never subscribed till just now. Even though I do know theory from many years - mainly piano -then guitar I stayed with this whole video- and it reminded me of the very FUNDAMNTALS of 'Listenng' to the Sound of intervals. Even at 70 you inspire / me - in so many ways with your love of teaching and making music Thank you so much !
One week in and I can attest that this method really works. I’m a complete beginner and can now (mostly) play the C Maj. scale without looking at my fretting fingers. Yes, it’s slow and boring but don’t give up!
So happy to hear that! Thank you so much! Learn TRIAD Inversions in 3 Ways (Vertical & Horizontal & Same inversion) th-cam.com/video/Lr_LLkozJ7Y/w-d-xo.html
You are so right Mr. Fujita, my Mom use to tell us kid's ," if you are not trying then you will never make a mistake " ... Thank You Sir , Stay Blessed & keep safe..
Awesome lesson. Train your ear while learning scales so you can develop triads by using your new listening skill. The more I do this the better my ear is getting.
Tomo thank you, your lessons are very helpful for me!! I have been playing for 40 years and am now learning what I wish I would have learned 39 years ago lol. This makes sense to me very much!! Again thank you I appreciate what your doing very much! Best Regards, Tony
Wonderful lesson! Very easy to understand. Lots to work on, just like the Triad lesson. Thank you, Sir! These beginner-focused lessons are just what I need.
6:15 i think you did a great job here impacting emotionally and internationally the importance of taking your time to understand what youre doing great job
You rock, brother. I just found your channel and am loving it. I understood the whole c major with one finger on the B string part, but I got a bit lost after that, so im heading over to your lessons website and starting a subscription! Thank you for bringing so much happy and beauty into people's lives and the world while teaching others how to do the same.
11:14 sometimes we need to take one step back to take two steps forward. Thank you for the reminder to take things back to basics and see the bigger picture.

You remind me so much of my music teacher from elementary school. This final solo brought such joy and a smile to my face, I loved every second of this video. You have a new follower!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Absolutely. What makes you such a great instructor is that you lay out the lessons in the simplest most easy way for anyone to quickly understand.
@@TomoFujitaMusic You’re quite welcome 🙏. I’m also sending links of your channel to all my other friends who play guitar. I know they’ll get as much out of your lessons as i am.
You make it very clear, how to play C major scale. I love your advice about always enjoying playing guitar and learning the little details thoroughly. Thank you for your patience and for sharing your knowledge.
being able to play along with learning is such a great encouragement. the further the video progressed i began to recognize the same theory in songs i already knew on the guitar. Great video
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.
Up, down. Long strokes. Big board right hand, small board left hand. Tomo says don't ask... Paint whole fence. Thank you, Mr Fujita. After many years of playing around with the guitar now I have some hope that I might move in the direction of how to actually play it and possibly even attain some understanding of the instrument. You are indeed an inspiration !!! m.th-cam.com/video/R37pbIySnjg/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUWa2FyYXRlIGtpZCBwYWludCBmZW5jZQ%3D%3D
Mr Fujita I tried to follow the first bit, i never thought of playing a scale on single string, thank you! I listened to the melody, it feels familiar but can't play it. Thank you 🙏🏽
I heard long ago the reason C is the start is cause of it's position on the piano keyboard I watched some lessons the other day and played some of the best I ever have that night, and I didn't study. 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
I started on piano as a kid, I think we start with key of C on piano because no black keys are used ( flats/sharps). Guitar lessons that teach music notation on guitar also work in the Key of C, waiting till later to learn sharps and flats

Thank you for making me realize that in order to get through the wall, you need to take and understand what your memorizing. After reviewing what I know, I'm ready to understand some more.

Thank you for this lesson! I am new subscriber to your Guitar Wisdom. So much good information there. I have to tell myself to be slow about it because I want to just jump into the fun songs that you teach later on in the course. 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.
Greetings from India! Sir I was able to follow till about half the video where open strings were involved but after that the bar chords etc I could not understand I'll take my time, I'm sure as I learn I'll be able to understand more. Thank you for the lesson.
Thanks for sharing! Simply you need more foundation when you don't understand it. No problems at all! You can learn it slowly. Please watch these lessons (Super Simple) th-cam.com/video/85RmFmRgTiw/w-d-xo.html
I had a friend back in the early 70's who played single string leads up and down the neck to rock songs, I must say it was jazzy and very interesting. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much again for taking the time out on putting me on the right path. I appreciate it very much and I’m very grateful. I’m excited to learn more and help fellow veterans. :)
I swear your version of Tracing That Dream is so much better than the original! The original is rock but yours has a jazzy upbeat happy feel to it. In fact it sounds like a song that could have been on the Steven Universe cartoon!
@@TomoFujitaMusic And what you made up is absolutely brilliant! Is there anyway you could post a simple chord chart for the rhythm part? I would very much like to learn this. Or maybe do a tutorial video dedicated to teaching it from beginning to end? That would be amazing. 😁😁😁

Fujitasan, thank you so much for your time in putting up these wonderful videos. Very entertaining and refreshing approach to learning guitar. Is there any way to contact you about lessons?
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?
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.
Glad it was helpful! So great to hear that. This lesson has Music Theory & Ear Training. Use both then its effective! Thanks for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom. Please enjoy Jazz Standards section! Great for your ears!

I’m on the rewind path of my guitar playing after meeting you. Thank u so much.
Good job! Thank you so much!
I hate that! It’s like you play through the mistakes hoping you’ll “polish” them off later but they tend to stick.
The easygoing attitude and the examples made the lesson very enjoyable for me. I think I learned to play the magor C scale on a single string. Maybe the major E one as well.
Thank you, Tomo 🙏

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!

You are Great !
Thank you!
Hi Tomo san, from this video I understand that take the time listening to the note is part of the process, as you always say "Don't expect too fast"
You got it! Slow cook is good!
Thank you for making me realize that in order to get through the wall, you need to take and understand what your memorizing. After reviewing what I know, I'm ready to understand some more.
You're welcome! No memorization! Be familiar with triads!

Thank you for this lesson! I am new subscriber to your Guitar Wisdom. So much good information there. I have to tell myself to be slow about it because I want to just jump into the fun songs that you teach later on in the course. 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.
You're welcome! Thanks so much for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom. You can do both. Good balance is important. Thank you!
Greetings from India!
Sir I was able to follow till about half the video where open strings were involved but after that the bar chords etc I could not understand
I'll take my time, I'm sure as I learn I'll be able to understand more. Thank you for the lesson.
Thanks for sharing! Simply you need more foundation when you don't understand it. No problems at all! You can learn it slowly. Please watch these lessons (Super Simple)

That was great!
Thank you!
I had a friend back in the early 70's who played single string leads up and down the neck to rock songs, I must say it was jazzy and very interesting. Keep up the good work.
Awesome! Thanks!
I can also see the relationship of doing the C major scale linear and Triads on the bottom 3 strings. :)
Good job!
Thank you so much again for taking the time out on putting me on the right path. I appreciate it very much and I’m very grateful. I’m excited to learn more and help fellow veterans. :)
You're welcome! Please enjoy more!
Lovely lesson 🌞🤙🎶
Thanks for listening
Love this lesson, I apply this to finger picking (Chicken picking?) It sounds so good and the wife thinks I am playing a real song! LOL Thanks Tomo!
Great to hear that! Yes! Thank you!
I'm juat loving this. ❤ the Joe Pass really is the perfect budget guitar to learn on
Thank you!
YOU MAKE PRACTICING FUN MR. TOMO FUJITA!
So happy to hear that. Thank you!
I swear your version of Tracing That Dream is so much better than the original! The original is rock but yours has a jazzy upbeat happy feel to it.
In fact it sounds like a song that could have been on the Steven Universe cartoon!
Thank you so much! I made up some chords!
@@TomoFujitaMusic And what you made up is absolutely brilliant! Is there anyway you could post a simple chord chart for the rhythm part? I would very much like to learn this. Or maybe do a tutorial video dedicated to teaching it from beginning to end? That would be amazing. 😁😁😁
Please watch these! Very easy to follow.

You're very welcome!
I find it useful to remember the major scale by steps..and for the major scale .its
W W h W W W h
W =Whole step /2 frets
h = half step/1 fret
Thanks for sharing
Tomo, What does the black logo on your shirts mean? I like the picks with the "Don't Worry, Don't Compare...
TF = my logo. Thank you!
Don’t worry
Don’t compare
Don’t expect too fast
Be kind to yourself

I love this. You are a great teacher.
Wow, thank you!
After 20:40, what were those numbers you were talking about? Do you teach that in Guitar Wisdom too?
Those are chords. 1=C, 3=E etc... I teach all details at Music Theory section of my Guitar Wisdom.
@@TomoFujitaMusic Got it. Thanks!
Fujitasan, thank you so much for your time in putting up these wonderful videos. Very entertaining and refreshing approach to learning guitar. Is there any way to contact you about lessons?
You're welcome! Thank you so much! You can reach me at tfujita@beklee.edu or music@tomofujita.com You can join my Guitar Wisdom.
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!
This the first key I learned because it is easy to remember. No sharps!
Good job!!
that's a wonderful guitar, is it a refinished AZES30? I like the SSS pickup configuration and the color!
This guitar is a prototype guitar of Ibanez AZES-31. Thank you!
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.
Thank you so much! Thank you for sharing!
