  • @bassyey
    @bassyey Před 2 lety +20

    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.

    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 !

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.

      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!

    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

    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.

    @russelljoplin2728 Před 2 lety +1

    Thank you, Tomo-san, for sharing this important lesson. A practical question, if I may. With practice, I can hear the intervals and sing them as you demonstrate while going up the fretboard. I can also see the intervals up and down in the scale as I play on one string. The problem is that I don't yet have a connection in my brain between the note F, for example, and the "Fa" yet.
    Should I write out a table with M2 = Re, M3 = Mi, P4 = Fa, and so forth while practicing up and down and singing them as I go until I have the equivalence between the interval and the solfege tone locked in? Or is there a better way in your experience?
    Thank you for taking the time to teach us!

    • @TomoFujitaMusic

      Thanks for telling me... you can do everything super slow and as many as you needed with no expectation. Slow process is great! Maybe you can do in 3rds... Do Mi Re Fa Mi So... Do Re Mi Re Mi Fa Mi Fa So... be creative to make a few new sequences of simple C Major scale. Maybe next lesson! Series of lesson can really teach you how to play guitar! No best way! Look for harder way! You're very welcome!

    C major scale with one finger on one string. Fully explained. 16:00, I hear "dont ask". I'm thinking what? How can I not ask? Then I remember the first 40 years of my guitar playing. I didn't ask. I saw and repeated what I saw. Eventually my curiosity got the best of me and I've done nothing but ask questions for the last several years. By that time I had a framework to fit the answers into.
