Just In Case【2 minutes a day best guitar practice routine】

[@astewart9410]

Tomo, you are absolutely right: I totally have waaaay too much distraction with the internet. So much guitar-related stuff, lessons and gear and concerts and beyond, whereas all that time could be spent playing and learning! This video is a wake-up call. THANK YOU!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you!

[@WNTR_Productions]

Best line ever at 4:06, “this is not the greatest guitar, but the vibes are really great”

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks! This guitar is not a greatest and not so easy to play. I use this guitar for a few things. 1) Chromatic exercise 2) Playing Lightnin Hopkins style 3) Funk rhythm

[@flclbeans]

@@TomoFujitaMusic How do you feel it helps you with funk rhythm? Is it because it's an acoustic and requires a bit more strength in your fretting hand?

[@cdubbsmusic]

The internet has so much info, it's so easy to get distracted. But the positive side is I found Tomo Fujita's lessons! Thanks Tomo for the excellent videos

completely agree the internet is distracting us! For months I was trying to practice 5 different things a day, improvements came very slowly which made me crazy.

Thanks Tomo. I like this exercise and shared with a couple of my students. I thought you might enjoy this: one of my students told me they liked it because of how eerie and spooky it sounded. I loved her observation because it’s so easy to get lost in thinking about fingerings, chromaticism, etc. and forget about the emotional impact that music has. Even when it’s just a warm-up!

Thank you for sharing this! I find it difficult to make time to practice, as I work 2 jobs and have several cats to take care of. And when I do manage to sit down with my guitar, I can't figure out what to do! When I try playing a song, I just get frustrated with the technical aspects, like proper fingering, picking, and strumming. (Up strums are still tricky for me for some reason.) But I feel like I'll learn a lot more and get more out of practice by doing this!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

It's really refreshing to see your pinky doing the same thing as mine when it's not needed, it just flies away. While these shredheads cry when they witness this, most, and even some of the most successful guitarists do it. Why work on something that doesn't bother you? Timing and accuracy are key, and not having the toughest practice time! although it's fun to see "good guitar playing" change or be interpreted like, dude, it must be frustrating at first! It is almost as if a new art of practice is being born. And their credo is, if it's not as hell demanding, then it's not good music!!! Maybe, Tomo, you explain why you not focus on having the pinky hovering over the string all the time? I'm sure there a many watching shredders who would like to know ur thoughts about that. and of cause i like that practice lesson much

I think knowing the basics of the major scale, and knowing how to form chords from it is really the only must know for any musician really (IE, if I said play something in the key of B, are you comfortable with that?). beyond that though you can kind of direct yourself towards what you're interested in

For beginner, just simplify and no tempo! Slow as you can... 1234, 1234 but super insanely slow!! 4321, 4321 much more slower than 1234, 1234...slow and steady. Do practice every for 3-5 minutes... for two weeks. But if you stopped at 12 days... then count from the day ONE!!

Hi Tomo! Thank you for your lessons. I have a maybe weird question. I am at the moment trying to balance teaching math and other subjects to highschool students, doing my own part-time work at the same time as gaining a better grasp of music theory. This might be a strange question, but how do I go about finding a good practicing method for guitar playing that also extends my music theory knowledge (which is very beginner), while having fun, and allowing time for everything else that I like doing. Maybe sometime in the future I would like to focus more on creating my own songs, and so I’d like to find a sustainable and manageable way to slowly keep improving as a player. Again, maybe this is a strange question, but thank you again for taking your time to make these KZbin videos!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're welcome! Anything you think, that's a brilliant question! Be kind to yourself!! Before you create your song, you can learn a few songs (great songs that you think!) Learn all chord progressions! That's a great way to use/think theory. I teach all my students very very seriously so this place is more fun place,

[@MrNotinthemood]

TomoFujitaMusic thank you! I’ll have a look at my favorite songs and try to learn them to their fullest! My goal is to one day be able to play Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson and fully understand all of the chord progressions and scales he uses within the song, and maybe create something just as beautiful as his masterpiece. That’s a very difficult song, so I’m going to stick to some easier ones I know for now and really try to get the chord progressions, the scales that fit and just keep practicing! Thank you for being so helpful!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're welcome! Playing like EJ. You need some technique exercise. You cannot play it if you only practice songs. And learn triads! That's triad song!!

You don't have to lift it, but it's not a requirement to keep holding that one down. Depending on what you are playing, I often leave my 1st finger in place if I am going to use that note again right after. (Like if I was going to play a G. an A, and then back to a G I would just leave my finger there.)

Internet is good but also distraction of course, too many guitar & music lesson @.@ Btw I'm doing Spider Routine (from The-Art-of-Guitar) but still stuck when going down from the neck. Maybe I'll add this too, and do it slowly first (repeat 3 times, slow slow slow XD)

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

YES! Totally! It's hard to decide which way to go. Thanks so much! I teach much more detail video lessons (more theory lessons!) at my Guitar Wisdom site. Please check my FREE guitar advice! tomojustfunky.com/tomo-fujita-guitar-practice-advice/

[@glennwhitlock1272]

Hi, Tomo. My problem isn't distractions, it's practising. I hate practising. I just want to get better without practising. Is there a solution for this? Something I can put under my pillow while I sleep? An injection of some sort?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Nobody really like practicing. Good one is could be very boring. So this exercise. Just do one string then. One minute! Practice to be patient! Or try to understand why this exercise is important for you? New Tomo Fujita USA WebSite tomojustfunky.com

Try to do harder, avoid anything easy, then you know two different way. If you only go easy way, you only know one way, you already missing something. -Tomo Fujita
