Imagine a world where you can basically get world class Berklee music lessons from a world renowned maestro for free…oh wait, we are in it! What a time to be alive!
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 RUclips, 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!
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.
My memorization technique was "Even Angles Do Go Bad Eventually". But whatever works for you, and what you can remember is the key! Thanks Tomo for the great lessons!
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 RUclips videos. It’s so difficult to decipher what to focus on first as a beginner. There’s a million videos out there.
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!

I'm in my first few months of playing, reading your comment, a year later what would a good schedule look like for about 30 minutes a day? Im so lost on what to do each day, sure i'm hurting my progress.

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!
Thank you so much Tomo San you are teaching the finer points that I needed I'm learning guitar for the first time and nobody I've watched so far talkes about how to practice
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!
Somebody has a new student! It's amazing to hear you say comments about how you can improve as a teacher. Master the guitar then move to teaching so you can challenge yourself within the instrument after all the notes have been played 👏 👏 👏 Played for 22 years all I know is chords. So basically nothing 😆 🤣 ❤️ from Ohio!

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.
Hello Mr. Fujita!! I have been playing the cello for over 7 years, but recently I have been interested in learning guitar. Your video helped me find a good starting point to learn the new format. Thank you so much!! I look forward to all of your videos throughout my journey. 😊😊
Oh, this is so helpful! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I found lots of information about how much to practice, but very little about how to practice. This video is a nice, clear explanation.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you! Length is not so important! What to do and what not to do is far impotent.

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! 😊
So happy to hear that! You're very welcome! My pleasure! Next video is a lot more details & much more simple! Good job! Did you watch this? I Wish All My Students Knew THESE Before They Came To Berklee ruclips.net/video/xlRy7WwZg7c/видео.html
I’d didn’t really understand the 3 exercise. I kind of got lost a little bit. I’ll give it another watch and try to follow along. Thanks for your video!
Thank you for sharing! Please watch a few more times and please tell me which part was difficult to understand specifically. I would like to know. Thank you so much!
It's amazing that I've watched the triad vid and understand nothing from it .. But this vid make me understand it way deeper, now i know how much of a beginner i am actually 😂
Doing the chromatic scale backwards is harder for me. While going up, my other three stronger fingers give good support. But while moving backwards, my little finger lands first and I need to place remaining fingers using it for support. I'll spend some time practicing just this till i get some strength. I think this exercise will also help me play the A/C# chord better with all the stretching.

Thanks for this video! Even for a long-time player, it's surprising how difficult they can be when you're not actually practicing (i.e. just noodling!)
A very nice exercise vids thanks. Im learning guitar from piano i can imagine if u go straight to guitar without any previous knowledge of theory its gonna be quite challenging haha
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. When playing the C scale on each string, it gets kind of difficult on the both E strings and the D strings to play C scale because they’re kind of high on the fretboard. Any recommendations? 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.

I’m a beginner and I’m a big fan of Johnny Marr and like to know where I should start? Do I get a budget electric guitar with gear or acoustic guitar and gear.? I want to play The Smiths style Johnny Marr. Any advice much appreciated thank you.
Thank you for sharing! Always great to start with triads! Jaguar is his thing. So many choices nowadays. Simple sound and fun. How about Ibanez AZES40 $349.99
Thank you for this lesson 🙏. Your lessons are always helpful and simple. I have a question that how long should I practice to go for the intermediate level?
In one of your upcoming Tomo Talks, would you expand on your maxim "Don't Compare." Regarding "Beginner Guitar Practice Routine": Thanks for posting and going off script, showing what one can do upon internalizing the fundamentals. Thanks for bringing the joy.
No memorization. So you need to train your ears & your knowledges with triads. Thank you so much!

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 😊

C E G on 123 set stings. X X X 5 5 3 = X X X R M3 5 ... learn them slowly without memorizing! That's root position. Then E G C on 123 set strings X X X 9 8 8 = X X X M3 5 R .. That's 1st inversion! G C E on 123 set strings X X X 12 13 12 That's 2nd inversion. That's all you need to know first! Take your time!
Thanks for sharing. First please use a strap and your guitar is holding by your right hand elbow and your body so that your guitar no need to hold by your left hand. Use your left hand thumb to balance your fingers but do not use any pressure by your left hand thumb. Maybe you should watch only one topic video. The Art Of Chromatic Scale ruclips.net/video/4XxfLYN-Aqg/видео.html
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?
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!
Is this routine fitting for both accustic and E-Guitar? =) Or is it specially for accustic? Im still a bit concused what are the main differences of learing accoustic and of learing E-Guitar. Would be nice to get an answer =)

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.
Your fingers can touch other strings for muting purpose. Please watch more... Maybe this one. More detail on chromatic scale. ruclips.net/video/4XxfLYN-Aqg/видео.html

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.
You're very welcome! Very very important technique! Thank you!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Thank you once again 🙂
thank you very much very good, heipful teaching
Great lesson. I keep going back to it to catch what I missed. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!
Thanks Tomo! great lesson. Yeah, I agree is Hotel California. Greetings from Argentina!
My pleasure! Thank you!
He said thank you good job @ 9:04 very passionate teacher.....
Thank you so much!
Honestly I’ve been playing for 10 years and really feel like a beginner, have work to do I guess 🎉thank you Tomo!
You can learn more! I am still learning! Keep pushing it! Thank you!
Hello Mr. Fujita!! I have been playing the cello for over 7 years, but recently I have been interested in learning guitar. Your video helped me find a good starting point to learn the new format. Thank you so much!! I look forward to all of your videos throughout my journey. 😊😊
Thanks so much for sharing! You're very welcome! Thank you!
Thank you Mr.Fujita.
Basic,simple is good.😀
(Triad,Cords,Phrase...)
You're welcome! Thank you!
Oh, this is so helpful! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I found lots of information about how much to practice, but very little about how to practice. This video is a nice, clear explanation.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
Length is not so important! What to do and what not to do is far impotent.

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! 😊
So happy to hear that! You're very welcome! My pleasure! Next video is a lot more details & much more simple! Good job! Did you watch this?

Thank you for your lesson. It's the proper way to learn and build up the foundation. Simple is good.
You're welcome! Thank you!
先生ありがとうございます🙏🙏
ありがとうございます！
i just bought my first guitar, and wow i feel like a pro haha, thank you for teaching me !
Awesome! Good job!
I’d didn’t really understand the 3 exercise. I kind of got lost a little bit. I’ll give it another watch and try to follow along.
Thanks for your video!
Thank you for sharing! Please watch a few more times and please tell me which part was difficult to understand specifically. I would like to know. Thank you so much!
Thank you, Tomo!!!
You're very welcome! Thank you!
Thank you Tomo Fujita. I always enjoy your suggestions and demonstrations for practicing here.
You're welcome! Thanks so much!
Tomo, you are a good teacher.
Thank you so much!
The wonderful mechanics of needed Foundations. Very Nice.....
Thank you so much!
It's amazing that I've watched the triad vid and understand nothing from it .. But this vid make me understand it way deeper, now i know how much of a beginner i am actually 😂
I love making triad lessons! So happy to hear that! Thank you so much!
Doing the chromatic scale backwards is harder for me. While going up, my other three stronger fingers give good support. But while moving backwards, my little finger lands first and I need to place remaining fingers using it for support.
I'll spend some time practicing just this till i get some strength.
I think this exercise will also help me play the A/C# chord better with all the stretching.
Yes. That's correct so you need to play super slow in that direction. Try not to make any finger / string noises. Good job! Thank you for sharing!
You have my full attention. Thank you. I will have to watch this a few times.
Awesome, thank you! So happy to hear that!
Best guitar teacher and such a great personality, always smiling and cute
Thank you so much!!
Awesome work! Thank you so much for your great teachings, because of this video I finally get triads
Thank you so much!
You did it. My granddaughter will love this. Thanks so much.
Yes! Thanks for waiting! I hope this lesson is helpful!
I’m going to send it to my Granddaughters too. 🤙
What a Great teacher 👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much!
Just shared with a friend. Thanks Tomo
Thanks for sharing! Thank you!
Great lesson, you can’t build without a good foundation. Slow and with intention, speed will come.
Thank you! You're correct! That's why many guitar players are not improving each month, each year.... Thank you!
@TomoFujitaMusic242 wow, that’s great, I don’t know how to thank you Fake Tomo.
As for me I just play a lot of songs that I like that give me a lot of practice in the fundamentals you presented here.
Practice songs is fun but you cannot gain so much foundation techniques. This way you can play songs better later!
You are really good guiar player and also so kind and awsome teacher!! Thank you for your lesson!!
Thank you so much!
Cool to see you have distinct thumbnail for this series.
Thanks! My daughter Sammi made that one for me.
Thanks, Fujita Sensei. Next step, mastery of Cissy Strut!

Thanks for this video! Even for a long-time player, it's surprising how difficult they can be when you're not actually practicing (i.e. just noodling!)
You're very welcome! Glad to hear that. Most players are playing songs very well and if they practice their foundation then it's gonna be amazing!
Thank You so much for this so valuable lesson teacher Fujita!!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!

A very nice exercise vids thanks. Im learning guitar from piano i can imagine if u go straight to guitar without any previous knowledge of theory its gonna be quite challenging haha
You're very welcome! Thank you so much!
Domo Arigato Sensei. ✌🎸
Thank you so much!
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. When playing the C scale on each string, it gets kind of difficult on the both E strings and the D strings to play C scale because they’re kind of high on the fretboard. Any recommendations? 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!
I made a few lessons for my own students.
This is one of them.
ruclips.net/video/xlRy7WwZg7c/видео.html
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.
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!
Just subscribed thank you 😊

I’m a beginner and I’m a big fan of Johnny Marr and like to know where I should start? Do I get a budget electric guitar with gear or acoustic guitar and gear.? I want to play The Smiths style Johnny Marr. Any advice much appreciated thank you.
Thank you for sharing! Always great to start with triads! Jaguar is his thing. So many choices nowadays. Simple sound and fun. How about Ibanez AZES40 $349.99
@@TomoFujitaMusic how about amp and pedal?
@@TomoFujitaMusic on my cart AZES40PRB now. Suggestions on a pedal and amp I see you demo a practice amp IBZ10G.
You need a simple amp. No need any pedals. You need a great tuner. @@ritchierich565
Thank you for this lesson 🙏. Your lessons are always helpful and simple. I have a question that how long should I practice to go for the intermediate level?
You're very welcome! Thank you so much!
As much as you can play comfortable
@@TomoFujitaMusic My pleasure.
@@TomoFujitaMusic Okay. Thank you. 🙏❤️
Great tutorial, thank you. How to avoid making noises when changing the fingers?
You're very welcome! Play things super slow!
In one of your upcoming Tomo Talks, would you expand on your maxim "Don't Compare."
Regarding "Beginner Guitar Practice Routine": Thanks for posting and going off script, showing what one can do upon internalizing
the fundamentals. Thanks for bringing the joy.
That's all possible. I already made tomorrow''s Tomo Talks video.
Thank you so much!
Nice work
Thanks so much!
I think a Troy Statina book taught me....
"Every Amplified Distorted Guitar Blasts Evil"🤟
Thank you for sharing!
How do you remember all these changes ? Are you sight reading something ? Sounds amazing .
No memorization. So you need to train your ears & your knowledges with triads. Thank you so much!

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 😊
You're very welcome! Please do super slow!
Please watch this video.

Thank you for sharing! We can write a book about that!
I'm just starting guitar. I learned 'Eddie Ate Dynamite Good Bye Eddie' Mike in Oregon
Good job!
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.
You can learn more! Yes! Thank you!
It’s hard to see the fingering for the triads in the video. Anyone have a link to them?

C E G on 123 set stings. X X X 5 5 3 = X X X R M3 5 ... learn them slowly without memorizing! That's root position. Then E G C on 123 set strings X X X 9 8 8 = X X X M3 5 R .. That's 1st inversion!
G C E on 123 set strings X X X 12 13 12 That's 2nd inversion. That's all you need to know first! Take your time!
the way you keep your thumb makes my hand hurt a lot in the palm an dthumb what should I do pls recommend
Thanks for sharing. First please use a strap and your guitar is holding by your right hand elbow and your body so that your guitar no need to hold by your left hand. Use your left hand thumb to balance your fingers but do not use any pressure by your left hand thumb. Maybe you should watch only one topic video.

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?
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.
Your fingers can touch other strings for muting purpose. Please watch more...
Maybe this one. More detail on chromatic scale.
