To remember open strings when I started out I used "Eddie, ate, dynamite, good, bye, eddie" I hopes this helps some one... And all the best to all the guys starting out... Always remember to hang In there and remember all of us are always learning ✌️✌️🎸🎸

I’m 32 years old and spent the past 10 years putting everything aside to get ahead in my career, which really put a huge strain on my mental health. This past year I mentally disconnected from everything and everyone because I was so exhausted. I bought a guitar 3 weeks ago, and it has really helped recover. The first place I went to learn was KZbin, and felt overwhelmed with all the strange advice, that I decided to try on my own. You are the first person I see to give solid advice that actually helps. Thank you!

This was exactly what I needed on my learning journey. I spent the last two years trying to learn all the open chords, and practice transitioning between them, but I skipped right past the basics like this because I didn’t have a teacher. This one is definitely going on repeat!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for sharing! If you skip these, you are slowing down your improvement!

[@Otaku-420]

I'm right there with you man. That's all I've been doing as well. It's easy to find strumming patterns and chords but not too much on what to actually practice as a beginner.

I see a lot of fellow beginners commenting. I appreciate these videos as well. I got my first guitar/amp bundle for Christmas. I’ve been practicing a lot every day since the beginning of January! I have fender play until March and KZbin videos. It’s so difficult to decipher what to focus on first as a beginner. There’s a million videos out there.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! Yes! Totally... too much information! I highly recommend all beginners should practice one good technique which is chromatic scale on 4th string!

As I watch you teach, one of your goals is to create a student who masters form and technique. I am a elementary school music teacher getting ready to retire and I am picking up my guitar to seriously learn. Piano is my first instrument. I needed a teacher that I could learn good, solid technique from. That’s you! Thank you for your videos. I am NOW excited to learn. ❤ UPDATE: I just found out you were John Mayers teacher. No wonder there is something special about you that I gravitated to. You are exactly what I saw…a MASTER GUITAR TEACHER. I am fortunate to have found you!

Thank you so much for giving me a direction! I was very lonely these last few years, and because I didn't know how to practice alone, I just noodled away at home... I am moving far away soon, and I hope to make friends through music. It always seemed like a distant wish, but I'm starting to believe I can make it, through your guidance. So once again, thank you so so much!

I am a total beginner, I can sing some very basic progressions on tempo (mostly because I tried to discover them by ear) but I get into the spot that muscle memory kicks in and I play only those by instinct, instead of actually thinking what I am doing anymore.

Hi, Mr. Fujita, would like to thank you. I loved this way of playing in groups of 4 on the chromatic scale, trying to sustain the sound, listening. I am finding it a way to practice and be very present, attentive to everything and at the same time, attentive to every detail: the duration of the sound, not making noise. Sometimes simple things are that reveal complexity. Thank you so much from Spain, Clara.

I'm 32 years old, who mainly played trumpet and piano since 7 yrs old, but I have always wanted to learn guitar since I was 10 years old. Playing an instrument, to me, is the best way to feel better overall. At 20, I've had to put it all on hold to care for others and ultimately compromise my mental health. Especially since the passing of my Mother in Jan. 2021. I'm in a better space now where I'm putting myself first, and one way is purchasing a guitar and amp tomorrow. This is literally the best timing ever to discover this video for my journey! Thank you for everything that you've done and continue to do, Mr. Fujita. I look forward to learning Happy Chords and much more!

Tomo you're funny! I enjoy learning from you. Thank you for your time! Last night I started doing the Chromatic scale (30 day routine) from a different video lesson you did. It was tricky and didn't include as many details including how to switch frets to play down neck. I'd play that video...rewind... play..rewind to see it easier. This here video made broke it down into easier steps. Thank you ❤ 👍. I think I should stop doing those 30 day 1212, 1232...practice (from "3 Great Exercises for Your Practice Routine" video) and do this Beginner Practice routine for a bit. I'll do the "3 Exercises Routines) after getting a bit better.. I don't want to practice without having the basic good form you explain here. I love the blues! 😊

First, I just wanted to say thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos! Very helpful! I did have a question.

Thank you again so much!! Your videos are awesome!

You're very welcome! So happy to hear that! First do only C scale on any strings then try to do other keys...but one at time. Never think like this.. "I should do every keys!" That's WAY TOO much just thinking! One more is great enough! You're very welcome!

Can’t believe this first simple exercise is messing me up lol…so use to alternate picking chromatic scale that I have to pay extra attention to down picking,which in turn messes up other aspects ….trying to go slow also makes a lil more difficult too…Need practice exercise that’ll help me get more ( some 😜) finger independence. Will be checking out your 4 practice lessons as they get harder and harder. Hopefully it’ll help.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for sharing! Super slow is good! Super simple is good. This way you wont repeat too many times. Less & more focus. I practice slow!

[@fromfilmtocode]

It looks simple but it's the best thing to do in between learning simple tunes. My hands 'learnt' a lot with Tomo's chromatic scales in this video.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You can learn more! Yes! Thank you!

No memorization. So you need to train your ears & your knowledges with triads. Thank you so much!

Thanks for this lesson Mr. Fujita! I gather we can also play triads and inversions using the bottom 3 strings (6-5-4). Isn't that so?

First of all, thank you Tomo sir for this detailed practice routine. However, I do have a question regarding the 1/2-step chromatic scale exercise: When I am playing back from the 12th fret, do I keep all my fingers pressed down and then pick one after the other? Like when I pick the note my little (4th) finger is on, do the other three fingers remain pressed on their respective frets or are they hanging slightly above the frets? Thank you so much 😊

Thank you for sharing!

[@buckrodgers2303]

Hi, When playing the triads are you targeting the root note and then building the inversion shape from there or are you (for example) playing root position SHAPE and then moving up 4 frets to next shape?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

All possible way to think. From top...from bottom...from middle and no memorization on shapes. More about ear training! Try to hear each inversions and sing along. No shapes. Sounds first! Triads are fun!

Hey Tomo, I have a quick question: is it bad if your "fretfingers" are touching other snares while doing chromatic scales. I think it's bad, but I'm not sure.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Your fingers can touch other strings for muting purpose. Please watch more... Maybe this one. More detail on chromatic scale. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aonbl3-Pg5J0p8k

I am an early beginner. How do you prevent buzz when laying down your fingers (first scale going up fret board)? Is it going up fretboard going towards guitar?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you! The guitar 's set up is very important too. That's why i recommend all my students to play Orangewood guitar. Try it super slow, take 4-5 seconds for each note slowly softly. Try that! Try only 4th or 3rd string, side by side. Please watch this video 4-5 times before you touch your guitar so you fully understand what to do.

[@catherineabbott6249]

@@TomoFujitaMusic Aiyee.... my long reply just disappeared. ....Short version, my go to guitar is an acoustic/electric KLOS carbon fiber hybrid Travel Guitar because I can take it anywhere. I have a couple of other guitars, but my KLOS gets the most use. I also have an old Gibson acoustic, Univox Phase 4 electric and a Gold Tone 5-string banjo. I will not be buying another guitar until I am a much better player. (Love the one your with.) I just started the chromatic scale exercise today. My issue may resolve with practice. As I press my fingers down in a slow, easy relaxed manner, the note fuzzes just a bit before full finger-string-fretboard contact is made. When I try to shorten/eliminate the fuzz, (1) my fret hand tenses up; and (2) it begins to sound like a hammer-on. Do you have advice to minimize the fuzz without hammering-on? I hope so. Thank you for your Guitar Wisdom. Cate in Maryland.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much for sharing! Each note sustain 3-4 seconds and do not stop that note and play next note! So do this super slow 1,2,3,4. Be patient! Try to focus on 5-10 minutes! No hammer on! Pick each note super carefully! Only one thing at a time. So first you need to get this clean technique. You're very welcome! Please check more foundation section on my Guitar Wisdom!
