Dear Master, I have gotten better at teaching myself in the right direction and I am able to help my students better just because you decided to do this to millions of us who can not afford music education at esteemed institutions. Your efforts are immensely appreciated.

"Right Direction" is more important than how many hours of practicing! Thank you so much!

[@pascalmichellucas1060]

i found in guitar wisdow the place that's make me realize i was on the good way of learning since i began by myself... good ;) understanding intervals, fretboard, by learning triads, paying attention to noises, and so many others details are what i found in guitar wisdow. Many other online teachers gave me pretty good advices, but these lessons are number one for me. Thank you Tomo, i still enjoy my journey as never before.

I started playing guitar by ear only in 1983 after taking 6 years of piano lessons. About a year ago I decided to start working on triads, chord tones, major pentatonics over chord progressions and learning the notes on the fretboard. About two months ago I started playing dramatically different. It just happened and I feel like I can play anything. No more noodling with scales and licks.

Great job! Just keep going! So happy to hear that! I will make more triad videos!

[@joeschmoe6720]

I grew up playing trumpet and actually wanted to attend Berklee as a trumpet player but I learned music theory more related to playing wind instruments single note instruments. Learning key signatures and playing the correlating notes in that scale of the key. Also learning the notes in the changes for jazz improv but never took the time to learn the actual relation of the chord changes in the song. Took music theory in high school learning to write 4 part harmonies ect. but it's not my forte. Since picking up guitar it has exposed me to a whole different realm of applying music theory. I'm trying to rely less on my ear/feel and get a better understanding how to apply theory to my guitar playing. I understand major minor diminished and augmented chords and 1 5 4 basic progressions, major and minor pentatonic scales but it's still a bit confusing to me but then again I could be over thinking it. Thanks Tomo, nice shirt btw.

[@MrVinceletah]

Thank you for a very interesting lesson! I have watched several and you are amazing. There are so many things to work on the guitar that sometimes it feels overwhelming. I have learned the major and minor scales, the intervalls and the major/minor triads. I have also worked some solos to improve phrasing and working bends, vibratos. And of course I have learned a few entire songs for fun. But when improvising I always need to think about what I do and then it is often too late, and I leave out a lot of stuff I wish I could use. What is the most rewarding if I only have one hour a day for practise? Learning songs? Playing triads over songs/backing tracks? Exploring freely the guitar?

Thank you Tomo, really think I understand. I've watched hundreds of your videos, and you always improve my mood. Not that I was in a bad mood, just laughter when you apologize for getting sidetracked. Feel free, it's entertaining and fun when you go off like that! You chose C because there aren't any sharps/flats and that was your wisdom I'm sure. So it's 1 mjr , 2mjr, 3mnr ,4mjr, 5 mjr , 6mnr , and 7 sus technically but can be major right? Triads I thought were 3 strings only but you played triads using 6 strings. So it's 3 notes! A triad can have 6 strings but because of the notes of say E minor have E on the 1st and 6th those count as one of three notes! I think that's right... right? I've been playing since 15, but I had a long time where I couldn't play for different reasons. Too long! So I'm 49 and just bought a Fender Squier Affinity SSS and a Fender Mustang LT25 modeling amp (fit my price range, pretty good guitar the Affinity I think) and the amp has preset effects for practicing with out having to buy peddles. Once I'm less rusty and ready to advance to the next level I'm going to subscribe to "MGW" because I know I'll advance more quickly with your teaching methods. Plus I just think you're a genuinely good human being! Thanks for always being entertaining and always sharing your knowledge with us...I always feel better after watching your videos. Drink your coffee and maybe you'll make a video on playing at 200 BPM!!! 😂 ✌️🎸🎶🙏 P.S. I really hope you feel better from your allergies, thanks for making the video anyway.

Hi Tomo, I find the approach you take here really good, at explaining the triads variants such as sus2, sus4 etc... I am a long time player but still re-visit such material every once in a while. I started following the triad sessions on GW but haven't yet come across coverage of those variants. Are they introduced on some of the vids in GW? Thanks

You can learn all basic music theory at my Guitar Wisdom. Please check "Music Theory" "Foundation/Triads" Thank you!

@@TomoFujitaMusic Oh Yes, Thanks! just ran a search on Music Theory and can see all the relevant material now. Wonderful! I wish we had met in the 80s. This is Brilliant, So much stuff! Thanks so much. It reminded me, one of CP's number which I had played back then (though no way close to what you'd make it) titled 'Passport'. Excellent piece to explore if you ask me.

@@TomoFujitaMusic Hi Tomo, just wanted to say I love the Jazz /blues to Parker (lesson017). Such a great theme to explore. Was an avid listener of Charlie Parker (amongst others) back in the 90s. I had almost forgotten how good it can be to re-visit. Thank you.

Mr Tomo, is there any benefit to hitting the strings near the neck on top of the sound hole? I realize that's how you play the guitar, I wonder if there's any benefit to that. Also, thank you for the lessons as usual!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Yes, absolutely! I love the warm tone around there.

[@jackquentin1950]

@@TomoFujitaMusic I'm gonna start doing that. Thanks sensei!

Sensei, what can you say about neon by JM 🙂 why is it hard to play?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Very unique approach and its not easy to play!

[@dashkinger2035]

@@TomoFujitaMusic yeah you're right 🙂 and btw did you already try to play Neon before??

[@Sailor_Man_Music]

I want to add one more thing. Knowledge is power I don’t care what you do. The more you know about it the better you will be.
