I use 9s - easier on your fingers, gentler touch, easier bends, better sustain. No brainer for me now - Rick Beato made a video comparing all this stuff somewhere on his channel, that's when I first tried it. Only downside is if you have tension in your playing there is a tendancy to 'bend' certain chord shapes slightly out of tune 😅 not a problem if you have a good ear for these things - i actually think its improved my technique since i made the transition by helping me focus on removing muscular tension and aiming for a light touch
You have such a positive and inspiring teaching style. I've been using 9s on my strat my whole life haha. Love to do crazy string bends. Also just easier on the hands. I mostly do rhythm guitar for jazz (been learning for 3 years now) but I'm trying to expand into leads. Been playing 20 years with most of my background in metal and psychedelic lofi stuff. I found that a loop pedal to jazz standards is such a good way to practice improv! I bet you probably already do that haha
17:26 KNIFE B spotted ! 😁for those who know. Man thank you so much for these lessons you have no idea how much i love your music and how much it inspires me. Came to your gig in Paris it was awesome 🤗
I use 8's on my Telecaster and 9's on my Signature"Blackie" stratocaster. I used to use 10's but I saw an interview with B.B King and Billy Gibbons both use very light strings. Both of those guys have GREAT tone and both say it's in your hands NOT THE STRINGS! Last time I listened to them their tone was THICK and rich sounding.. plus it's easier on the fingers!!!😀
Hey man, I'm trying to develop my Jazz and Jazz-Blues Soloing Vocabulary by learning Heads & Solos. I wonder if you could give me some suggestions. If you were my teacher, what would you prescribe me!? I've learned Parker playing Billie's Bounce, Now's The Time, Au Privave. I then learned the solos on Chitlins Con Carne - Burrell; Grand Slam - Christian; Cool Blues - Green; Four on Six - Montgomery; Borgia Stick - Benson. Can you give me any suggestions for next steps please?
I use 9’s (9-46). Tim Pierce said he prefers them, and Eddie Van Halen, Frank Zappa, Randy Rhoads, Angus Young, Mark Knopfler, Jimmy Page, and Jeff Beck use them, too.
Great lesson!!!🎸 Starting to learn theory after years of just toughtless playing guitar. but i'm feeling this video is going viral and got worried about the jokes about 9/"another prime number" chords... 💀💀💀
Hey Rotem, supreme lessons. Can you please show on the screen the chord diagrams for more of the chords when you play them? This would help us uneducated folk keep up ;)
I cannot express how much I love your teaching style I connect with it so much and those chord progressions man never heard anything like it and I'm having so much fun with it I can't thank you enough for this lesson, you're just something else rotem.
I use Elixir 11s on electric on a Baum Leaper Tone (Danish/Korean guitar, it looks gorgeous), recently up from 10s. It's by necessity due to a nickel allergy and what's available at my local store - but they allow me to play without my fingers breaking into itchy and eventually painful blisters, which I'll take! I do like the slick feel and how long they last, though. Regular strings now feel almost 'sticky' to me, if that makes sense, especially if my hands get sweaty.
D’Addario NYXL 10-52.. on Gibson style… NYXL 9-46 on Fender style… Dreadnought.. EJ16 12-53. …Jumbo. EJ17 13-56… all D’Addario since 1983.. however, Fodera Bass strings on my basses…
I spent about 5 or 6 years playing 12 - 56 on electric, but shifted over to 10-46 about 8 years ago or so. But lately I've really enjoyed using the "Hendrix Inspired" gauge set of 10 - 38. The first 3 strings come from a pack of 10s, but the low end comes from a pack of 8's! The result is a much tighter sounding low end when playing with gain, and it also reduces the overall tension on the neck quite nicely. I also tune to 432 hz instead of 440 hz, really helps the guitar relax a bit more.
Man, cool lesson! I wish I had done this type of thing when I first started playing jazz. So powerful. Once you internalise the sound of these extensions and know where to find the notes you become so free to create interesting melodies in an intentional way versus just randomly playing scale tones over chords.
@@RotemSivanGuitar it looks easy to reach it when you show ! You are a damn good teacher ! Of course I have stollen some stuff and enjoy jamming on the looper with that chords. Actually this kind of music is infinite to play ♾️ 🎸 🔥
Why do you call them 9/13? Just 13 will suffice.... I mean, you CAN stipulate that you want to HEAR the 9 included, but basically it SHOULD be, or it's not a true 13. 1, 3, 5 (optional), b7, 9, 13. Obviously it can be played by adding a 6 to the 7, but in theory the 9 needs to be present.
VERY good explanation. Thank you, and congrats on your 400th thumbs up (it was me).

Always a great lesson........
Thanks Rotem........!!!
Thanks so much Rick! What would you like to see next?
@@RotemSivanGuitar I would find it helpful to "theorize" which scales would work best when soloing over those extensions.......Thanks again

Beautiful info. That’s a boatload of delay.
Rotem just is like "here is everything you need" and the world is still looking up tabs
I really like your lead playing and you are very easy to comprehend thank you for that!

I use a 12s .. set of chromes with 13 and 17 on the top.
Thx for that tricks but, why so much reverb ?
I use 10-52 D'addario Nyxl on my Strat and 9-80 nyxl on my 8 string
My Dream right now is to play a D'Angelico like this one! 😻✨️
It's a great guitar! 🎸
Try the Excel Soho! I have it and love it
Great video ! I use 9s.

clear concise and heartfelt. Thanks, Rotem!
Elixir 12s on accustic and Elixir 10s on electric. Good video 👍
Thanks John! You find them beter then D'addario?
@RotemSivanGuitar yes. try the polyweb they feel like silk. 👍
Could you do a video on how to write a song instead of me just noddling about . You peace together your chords and licks effortlessly
what scale is used to solo on these chords? is it only Arppegios or what?
Great lesson, thx Rotem!
10-49s - wound G.
isnt that maj7 6 you played theoretically just a maj13?
I played Maj7 6 in the start of vid.
You just shared the secret key to compose songs like Tom Misch NeoSoul Lo-Fi Beats !
Hi Ilya! YES! It's easy once you see how it works

I love pure nickles. Hate the sound of new strings, and pure nickles dont have that harshness
No Cocktails in there early NYC days - So, what are you saying? Now that you're a success, you're an alcoholic? Ha ha ha ha!! 🤣🤣🤣 (Just kidding).
