Your so good at what you do, you go slow to show how and why, getting us the mood to play not trying to intimidate us. The Result is perfect teaching. A+ 5 stars!
Right now my favorite guitarist is Plini, oh my god he’s so amazing! He has the ability to mix super technical playing, odd time signatures and some interesting harmony in a way that doesn’t sound too complex or “off”, just beautiful music. In my opinion one of the best prog rock guitarists out there right now!
One of my favorite guitarplayers is still George Benson. Especially his old CTI recordings. Maybe because whatever he plays technically, it remains pure music. Incredible phrasing, space and soul. Another one I really dig is Diego Figueredo. And you rock too maestro Rotem! Thank you for your wonderful lessons.
My favourite guitar player at the moment is Junior Watson from the USA. He's been playing good stuff since the early 1970s and is freakin cool and hot at the same time. He's a bluesman with big fat jazz tones and a sting in the tail. Do not underestimate him people! He should be playing jazz festivals. He's appeared on over 200 albums, and his solo albums are excellent.
I like how you break down things in a very digestable format. In my style of playing I love using double stops. I like listening to Matt Schofeild, and Prince
The quality of content is honestly incredible as always, spent an hour on this lesson just taking my time to hear out the nuances and colors and it already improved my ability to think in emotions during improvisation. Not relying as heavily on pre-learned phrasing. I'm fully self-taught and don't generally get the opportunity to talk music with people. But i have this burning question regarding intervals in double stops. For example, the Perfect Fifth interval (ascending) is a Perfect Fourth interval (descending + octave), and the Third (ascending) from a G is a G major (in E minor/G major) and descending from G is a E minor (in E minor/G major). So there are lots of symmetries and lots of options to explore (near-endless already). However here is the question, all the examples shown with exception of the sixth are counted ascending from root, with the sixth interval example descending is shown. And the sub-interval between ascending to the six and descending to the six is a perfect 5th. When you add or subtract the octave from your six you wind up in E minor or G major again but you wind up in different standard triad shapes. Either a G major with B root or a E minor with G root. Which are seemingly both first inversion shapes, and this is extremely perplexing to me for some reason. But is this why the 6th sounds so crazy colorful without imposing too much restriction on its use, implying both major and minor chords, with almost no tension in the sub-interval makes it hard to make "mistakes" with that don't lead to audibly "digestible" yet unpredictable new directions in a harmony? Similar use of the other intervals 5th and 3rd result in very dissonant sub-intervals (nothing wrong with that, just makes their use more particular).
Young kid from Italy, Mattao Mancusso. Unbelievable fusion of flamenco, jazz and rock and his fingering is quite impressive especially his right hand fingering!
Just wanted to say that your vibe and the encouragements when you gave space to play along with you really struck a cord and threw me back to playing with a great teacher who unfortunately emigrated long ago. So thanks for that!
Rotem, this content is amazing, i play guitar since i'm 15 (34 now) and just recently started really studing guitar with a teacher and your videos are the perfect complement for it. Haven't found anything like your channel, keep going my friend, HUGE Thanks, sending you hugs from the end of the world (South of Chile)

Personally, I think Derek is the best professional jam band guitarist out there right now. Perhaps second only to the mighty Trey Anastasio...
Favorite hummm, very hard to have ONE, lately I've been listening to a lot of Nick Johnston and before I was listening a lot too Julian Lage. Great video as always thank you!
Wonderful video Rotem :) I've been teaching guitar and piano to mostly children and a few beginner adults at a music school in Austin, Texas since early January and it's had me REALLY digging back into the basic fundamentals. In a way I'm rediscovering what made me fall in love with guitar in the first place. To absorb what you're showing here in this video was extremely enjoyable and I plan on sitting down and digging into these concepts. Thank you so much for posting and I've subscribed to your channel 🎸💯🎸
After you looped the four chords in the beginning, you started out by playing a riff from Santana's Samba Pa ti, when it goes into the double time section. Very nice.
Cool video and jake cinninger from umphreys McGee is the greatest Guitarist to listen to for me because he’s literally mastered so many sounds and play styles and even after 20+ years of being in a super successful band he states he’s always working on his style and sound.. to me that’s very humbling even the best of guitarists are still learning and being creative!
Kanami from Band-Maid - "the impossibly hard rocking maid band". She's simply a wonderful composer and the solos always fit the song for her. Good lessons to learn from her playing.
I really liked this lesson! I think the master of the double stops is The Jonathan Butler. He uses it in Afro Jazz music. It’s so tasty!! He uses it more often too tell stories or even to start anything. It just hits different 😂
Hi Rotem, great lesson. I recently checked out your album Far From Shore. I especially like the lead guitar work on the track titled Yuki song. Is there anyway you could do a video where you break down the first guitar solo, not the keyboard solo. And explain what you are doing to achieve that sound. I'm talking timing/note values, scale/mode notes, sequence patterns, picking, etc. I sure many others would like to see how that part works. The second guitar solo is great too. You're awesome, please keep making music and lessons.
Thank you good sir for inspiring me to get some much needed rust off my lead playing. Marc Ribot is a certainly a guitar player everyone should get to know :}
My most favorite guitar composer is the Legend HARRIS JAYRAJ ! He is a popular indian composer. He was asia's highest scorer in guitar trinity grade. Check out his song world-famous song 'Nenjukul peidhidum maa malai' , adiye kolluthey, 'lolita' and lot to explore
I've listening to john butler lately. This is the first video I watched of you, I'm def. coming back for more. Good stuff man, thanks for taking the time to create this!
Julian Lage - Edit* I see a few have mentioned Julian - but especially the album 'World's Fair' just a D18 a few mics and a lot of skill! hard to believe its just one guitar sometimes!
Excellent video! Explaining a fairly advanced subject, whilst at the same time simplifying the approach to get started is no mean feat. Intervals (what double-stops are) sound beautiful on the guitar and are often overlooked by guitarists, this video demonstrates them in all their glory. Fun fact: intervals can be inverted (sixths reversed become thirds etc) so it's fun to play with that! Love how you mentioned that intervals, such as sixths, are buried inside the cowboy chords. Amazing that something like a simple chord can hold so many hidden musical treasures. Thanks for the content! (new subscriber ;)
thanks man...sometimes i get too trapped about block chords with extensions and sometimes this double stops are way more musical really appreciate your chanel this day listening to ANGEL PARRA from Chile also GILAD HEKSELMAN and JESSE VAN RULLER from other country
Rory Gallagher, been rediscovering just how amazing the man was. There's a reason one of the most loved festivals by musicians, for musicians here in Ireland is named after him. In fact, if you haven't been, go. You will NOT regret it. You'll see soooo many unbelievable musicians just playing godly jazz/rock/blues in the streets for free.
I tell you what, that guitar looks awesome and sounds so warm. the album Enchanted Sun, especially Rodent's Blues, have a lot of great material. really great work. God bless you, brother.
Yo I love your energy!!!!!! Keeping me in gaged. I am an harpejjist It’s a really cool innovative instrument very similar to the the guitar. Played keys all my life but picked the harpejji up a couple of years ago. My all time favorite guitarist is Wes Montgomery Mi Cosa is my favorite tune by him, check it out I think it’ll blow you away with his amazing harmonies. I also like guys like Kurt Rosenwinkle and Pat Metheny. Good stuff man keep ‘em coming!!!
Who's your favorite guitar player these days? I wanna check some new folks. Please drop a comment w links

Beautiful playing, tone and the guitar itself. That's a beauty ~ Thanks
You are literally gold. Thank you so much for making excellent content.
Mark Speer has to be my favorite. Thanks for the great content :)
Great lesson Rotem thank you. getting into Jubu Smith lately very soulful, gospel, bluesy and r&b feel
What a great framework for learning to integrate double stops into your playing. I’ll start with thirds and try 10-15 minutes a day. Thank you Rotem.
Sure thing man!

Favorite hummm, very hard to have ONE, lately I've been listening to a lot of Nick Johnston and before I was listening a lot too Julian Lage. Great video as always thank you!
Very very cool
Bill Frisell, and that's been true for many years. His approach to solo jazz guitar arrangements is unique.

Great lesson could listen to that tone all day
Great video, thank you!!!
Julian lage is someone I learned of recently and he's been blowing my mind.
You asked for favorite new guitar players. Mine is Jonathan Cordy - amazing. Great video you've made here Rotem!
Colin James has some great energy in his playing. Voodoo child is my favourite.
Really digging Ariel Posen these days! The guy is a master of dynamics. His cover of "Angelene" is just such a vibe
Yeah really digging Ariel these days too! This guy is really really soulfull.

15:10 reminds me of pat metheny's "midwestern nights dream"
so good!

I really liked this lesson! I think the master of the double stops is The Jonathan Butler. He uses it in Afro Jazz music. It’s so tasty!! He uses it more often too tell stories or even to start anything. It just hits different 😂

George Benson is considered one of the best lyrical and logical to follow the cord progression regardless of complexity.
My most favorite guitar composer is the Legend HARRIS JAYRAJ ! He is a popular indian composer. He was asia's highest scorer in guitar trinity grade. Check out his song world-famous song 'Nenjukul peidhidum maa malai' , adiye kolluthey, 'lolita' and lot to explore

Cool ideas for exercises.Obrigdo (thanks) from Brasil.
One of the best lessons I've seen so far. These methods reminds me of John Mayer from the early 2000's and John Scofield too. :)

Talking about fav guitar players.
I recently got to see Julian Lage live and it was amazing
