i always work on my rudiments,with the mentality of playing them even better than the last time,work on the fretboard mastery with the intervals and that stuff,voice leading... :)
Funny, at the moment I mainly practice what seems to be the 6th and 7th exercices you talked about in this video. Recognising the degree I am playing without looking at the fretboard. I do that over a single major or minor chord vamp. I like it a lot 😊
"Their are no mistakes"...I chuckled at this comment. Unfortunately it doesn't usually work that way for many of us. I dig the sentiment though, exploration within our harmonic spectrum.
Also one of the best exercise is to be sure that you are breathing continuously while playing (not holding breath). Because you are a master when your breath rhythm isn't effected by anything.
Most teachers do not actually teach dynamic in lead playing. i really understand how soft and all the other variations in a complete solo would be helpful with an emotional interpretation of a song. Very interesting concept. Thanks for the lesson.
Hi Rotem, I just "found"you on UA-cam! I have played for decades and still have a lot to learn. I find that you are an extraordinary teacher giving me so much. I am looking forward to study all your videos and be a patreon - wish you lived next door in stead of N.Y.
Cheers from Norway. Thanks to Paul, I now have another fantastic channel with excellent content. Thank you Rotem. You are a great teacher and easy to understand. All the best, Eivind B.
This was a VERY good video. I never expected you to mention the body. I was just thinking about this the other day. Not in regard to tension though. I find, that when I allow my body to move, to become expressive while playing, I play SO MUCH better. I have also found myself swinging my head back n fourth sometimes, and did not even know I did this, or make facial expressions, like I do during certain passages in tunes? Thx again. On another note Sivan, I just checked your bio and saw you graduated from the Buchmann-Mehta School of Music at Tel Aviv University. I had no idea you were from Israel. I bring this up because I was in Israel with my wife in Oct/2019. I noticed there was a VERY high caliber of jazz musicians there, even on the street busking. I saw an unbelievable violinist busking, and shredding out Paganini runs. There is so many great Israeli jazz musicians, and not just guitar players, one I'll mention is Avi Shai Cohen. His song REMEMBERING, is so good, and theres a section of the song - A Minor, A minor/G, F# diminished, e7 - that is great to improvise over.
Way better teaching method here, and much higher talent level.. the playing here actually sounds good and has a classy feel. (Paul David is a wannabe Rotem, but a goomba in comparison)
I've been doing what you are calling color exploration for a few months now, and it's definitely opening doors to whats possible. It's all about finding what you can get away with, I love that exercise!!
You’d make me the happiest dude on earth if you could describe how you use delay, what are your delay settings? Is it usually set to tempo? Dotted 8th? Just a non tempo quick repeats used as a kind of reverb? Your tone haunts me :)
I strongly agree with being aware of the body point! I don’t know why but when I focus, my tongue tend to push against my teeth to the point that it hurts after hours of practice. I’ll keep that in mind thanks!
Most of these are new to me, thanks for sharing them! I'm really practicing hybrid picking at the moment, it has already enabled me to play things which were previously impossible. It's great to keep learning and trying new things.
thanks Rotem. i pratice some of that (on pretty basic side) on flamenco sketches: no "outside" trick, but some exceedingly wonderful 'in-side' note with care about tone, dynamic, slow feel heartfelt.
Hello from Portugal! Thank you so much for your videos! I am in love with your right hand! 😊😁 What do you say about those guitar players that use the pinky finger as an “anchor” to their right hand? Is it a good technique?
It's late but I know what I just watched is my idea of playing! My friends tell me l play good but sometimes wonder if it's because they are close friends. But I know some days it sounds great and other days it's a struggle. Barely ever get to play with others just back tracking and I'm grateful for that and I will be listening to your vids! I'm Subscribed
Great lesson Rotem, I love 💕 stuff like this that gets you centered and real with the instrument. I like to alternate harmonics from the 9 fret to the 12 fret using 3 string blocks and muting the middle string, you know that one? Sounds like an angel harp!
I'd love to watch a video where you talk a bit about your guitar and your tone. Alternatively, a video about the "picking-and-fingerstyle-method" would also be very interesting. Love your content ✌🏻
Brilliant, brilliant video man. I think I found you through GMA, maybe not, but its only been a couple weeks I've known of you and you really do have a gift for conveying useful ideas that are sometimes overlooked. good man
Rotem. I practiced what yoi suggested amd found the E note in all spots of the fretboard. I did a short practice and then found a sustaining E chord on youtube amd played soloing and chords throughout the neck....big difference for me. I will be using this excercise everyday. Thank you again
Hi Rotem, thank you for a great video. You draw attention to some crucial yet often ignored aspects of developing musicality, not just chops in your guitar playing. Appreciate it :)
I am enjoying your videos just found your Chanel, I love the deep listening over a drone centre keep up the great work Rotem I am definitely going to check out some of your exercises.
I had a problem with my left hip because I always crossed my leg over to rest the guitar on while practising ,i have to be conscious now to play in a more aware way now
What cool exercises are you working on?
Relaxing my body when im holding my guitar
I'd definitely try singing the notes so my ears and fingers will remember
i always work on my rudiments,with the mentality of playing them even better than the last time,work on the fretboard mastery with the intervals and that stuff,voice leading... :)
Use silence ! Can't feel it when i'm blablablaing with the instrument !
Great work !
Funny, at the moment I mainly practice what seems to be the 6th and 7th exercices you talked about in this video. Recognising the degree I am playing without looking at the fretboard. I do that over a single major or minor chord vamp. I like it a lot 😊
you are so underrated . the paul davids video will probably expose thousands of guitarists (like me ) to you. and you deserve that recognition man
thanks so much man. much love.
Same!
I concur with that 👍🥳
Paul sent me, too! Glad to learn from a new perspective 😘
Totally agree!
Was not expecting such a fresh take on guitar exercise. Rather yogic.
🙏 happy it's feeling fresh
Rotem is so underrated. He's excellent both as a musician and a teacher. He deserves a million subs.
with that tone literally anything sounds like jazz
lol :)
UA-cam is full of people telling you "10 secrets" "the 5 rules" and I totally hate them but this is pure GOLD, thanks man!
Subscribed :)
oh man!!
Nice comment but why do you totally hate them????nonsense
Yup tension and stress points! My major and endless nemesis !
Albert Lee right hand approach. Enjoyed this. Very important for beginners or self taught who have gotten into a rut.
"Everything is beautiful" plays a beautiful chord progression and sets my mental bar of how it should sound pretty high.. D:
💜
"Their are no mistakes"...I chuckled at this comment. Unfortunately it doesn't usually work that way for many of us. I dig the sentiment though, exploration within our harmonic spectrum.
Good god that guitar sounds like absolute heaven! What a tone!
Brother I am going to practice everything you have to offer. I’m sold
you inspire so many people! thanks a lot for your work and your lessons !
I see a lot of pointless guitar teaching videos but this video is so great and different!
This video is gold! Thanks man! Cheers!
Your video with Paul Davids actually inspired me to start learning jazz guitar instead of focusing on bluesy rock
Where have you been all my life? You are amazing 👍🏻🙏🏻
Incredible musician AND teacher.
This type of ideas reminded me of the approach that Julian Lage have when it comes to viewing/playing guitar. SO GOOD !!
Thank you!! 🙏 Julian is a beast.
Also one of the best exercise is to be sure that you are breathing continuously while playing (not holding breath). Because you are a master when your breath rhythm isn't effected by anything.
Love it.
Paul channel Jazz Solo That was amazing 😍
That was a fly!! Hahahahaha this guy is awesome, I play saxophone and I love to apply all his guitar advices on saxophone
Playing the same note over and over in octaves is a game changer for me! Thankyou so much!!!
🤘
Great amazing content. Very glad to have found you
Most teachers do not actually teach dynamic in lead playing. i really understand how soft and all the other variations in a complete solo would be helpful with an emotional interpretation of a song. Very interesting concept. Thanks for the lesson.
Dude! I love all your stuff man! 💯💯💯
I appreciate your patience as a teacher, it shows me how important it is to focus and listen to what I am practicing.
Thanks!! 💙
אח יקר, שמח מאוד שגיליתי לאחרונה את הסרטונים שלך. בידיוק הרגשתי במקום לא משהו עם הנגינה שלי וכבר הסרטונים שלך עוזרים לי מאוד.
Toda! 🙏 happy to hear man
Your playing is so damn inspiring. Thanks a lot for your videos, man.
Thanks Pablo! 💙 much love
Great - you already got 2000 new subscribers since being in Paul David’s channel! Hope you get many thousands more!
Thanks! 🙏❤️
Amazing - here because of Paul Davids and very happy for the introduction!
💜
I needed this, thank you!
I love your classes,I usually practice playing 1 single note up/down and checking how it sounds in every chord.
Hi Rotem, I just "found"you on UA-cam! I have played for decades and still have a lot to learn. I find that you are an extraordinary teacher giving me so much. I am looking forward to study all your videos and be a patreon - wish you lived next door in stead of N.Y.
Thank you. This was very helpful to me.
🙏❤️
Just wanted to thank you Rotem for inspiring me to start listenning to Jazz. Your records are so beautifully crafted.
Cheers from Norway. Thanks to Paul, I now have another fantastic channel with excellent content. Thank you Rotem. You are a great teacher and easy to understand. All the best, Eivind B.
hi.. happy to meet you and learn more guitar language
Great video glad you did the Paul Davis video so I could find you! Also that guitar looks like it has an interesting history !
Thanks!! I turreted it...

Love the details! These kind of things often get overlooked.

(Paul David is a wannabe Rotem, but a goomba in comparison)
Absolutely unique approach to practice I'll definitely be using these beats running scales all the time any day
🤘
cool ...simple stuff is the most fulfilling
the lighting in this video is prime. thank you for the insight
Oh thanks!!
I am in love with the way you play your guitar!

Rotem is the best!
I've been doing what you are calling color exploration for a few months now, and it's definitely opening doors to whats possible. It's all about finding what you can get away with, I love that exercise!!

How can Rotem only have 50K subs? it's crazy! For the music alone, he should have more.
Im gonna tell everybody i was here before you blew up 😁🤙🏻 great content mate
Lol, thanks mate!! ❤️
Cool stuff! Rotem, could you post video on your legato and speed practices? Amazed how fluent your phrases are
Thanks! Will do
awesome teaching.youve got a good mentor during your younger years i can say. dont stop sharing the correct method of learning🤘
Rotem, you are an amazing person, a very good person!

❤️

Hi Rotem, thank you for a great video. You draw attention to some crucial yet often ignored aspects of developing musicality, not just chops in your guitar playing. Appreciate it :)
Thank you!! 💙
Great! Thanks
Nice man!
Thanks for posting this. It is a very soothing video.

I hope your channel blows up someday. You deserve it ♥️
Thanks Florian! 💜
I am enjoying your videos just found your Chanel, I love the deep listening over a drone centre keep up the great work Rotem I am definitely going to check out some of your exercises.
Thanks!!
Thank you for this lesson my friend!
🙏❤️
You make beautiful music that takes great skill! So much music today has no soul or depth!
🙏 I'm trying
Very good Rotem! Music teaching ("instrument training") should (ought to) be a lot more about these kind of things!
🙏
Recognised you from the Paul David's video. Liked and Subscribed straight away.
Thank you!! ❤️
Great lesson. Love to learn how you practice and your playing ideas. Keep going!
Ill try :)
I had a problem with my left hip because I always crossed my leg over to rest the guitar on while practising ,i have to be conscious now to play in a more aware way now
Fresh and fantastic information!!! Thanks for sharing!
🙏
Really enjoyed this video. I'm curious, why do you have the "strapping" (whatever that is) around the headstock?
I will definitely try some of these. Thank you!
❤️
Nice advices from experienced player! 👍🏻
🙏
Dear Rotem, i have enjoyed your approach to some very important stuff. the way you took a breath on no.2 was superb !!! talk soon :)
Thanks man!! 🙏
I feel some exercises familiar with the idea of David Tronzo. Thank you for reminding me the time learning with Tronzo.
Oh cool. Is there a vid I need to check?
Merci beaucoup pour ! Très utile !
Le bonjour de France !
❤️🙏
