What I love is how well used and worn your sheet music book is. That's a thing that you have spent a lot of time with, and it represents an important part of your life because of that. That makes it a special object worthy of respect and admiration. Pleasing. :-)

Damn... took me 30 minutes to practice this, I think I learned more with this than over the past year, keep them video coming !

Hi Rotem, regardless of which of your videos that I watch, I get inspired and want to grab the guitar and practice. I've played guitar for more than 65 years (!) but you keep clarifying things to me. Your engagement is like a virus, you are a gifted teacher, thank you.

playing a seven chord on a beautiful clean tone is the best sound you can get out of a guitar. your tone is immaculate.

There's something retro about the delivery and visual aspect of this video. Quite wholesome. You're a great teacher, no fancy gimmicks or edits; just straight to the point of the lesson. Thank you.

Wow... I can't believe more people haven't found this. Rotem, I found you with Paul last week. I LOVED that intro to jazz. I love the sound of jazz, but it seems so foreign to me. I love to listen to you describing what you're doing. Very inspirational. I can sit for 20 minutes just playing that E-dim, A7, D7, G7 to C7#9 progression. Thanks so much for sharing.

This wonderful information!! I've played for a living for decades, by ear with very little knowledge of theory. It's time to change that at the age of 62, and you are a great teacher. So SUBBED!!

thanks for everything as always!!!! love coming back to these videos after exploring the ideas that you bring to the table. Big love

Found this gem today and I love how you explain shell chords. What sets you apart (for me) is the fact you not only explain a certain technic or shape, you also provides context and how to use it, while acknowledging that the most important thing at the end of the day is that it sounds good. My interpretation of that is to know the rules so you know how to break them with grace. Thank you for a great video.

Great lesson focused on simplifying the mystery of things.

Thank you so much. The best video ever that unlocked jazz world for me!!

This has been soooo helpful. I’m just starting to learn jazz and this and helped me make a big leap forward. Thank you Thank you.

Just got a guitar and was watching videos and Rotem is exactly what I was looking for in an instructor. I am grateful.

Thanks for your inspirations Rotem 🙏 love the way you teach

Thanks for this! It really helps me understand the relationships between the 1-3-7 and how it colors the sound😊

Thank you so much ! So many years trying to learn jazz and finally someone that know where to start and how to explain it ! Thank you Paul as well for letting us discover this hidden gem on youtube !

You are a vibe Rotem!

This is so awesome. You are so clear in your explanations. Thanks!

Terrific videos Rotem, just thank you!

I was playing these voicings with 4 notes simplifying to 3 opens up possibilities for motion and clarifies the harmonic structure thanks for a light bulb moment

I think Jazz is speaking to me, slowly, I listen to you talk and I understand. But when I hear you play it’s like I’m being taken by the hand by someone I know into some place I’ve been before. I think I want to learn how to play jazz on guitar because it’s speaking to me.

A top class lesson. Thank you very much It made me understand these chords much better ..

Great lesson, thanks!

I studied guitar at Berklee years ago and I wish someone had given me this very practical piece of advice when working out new material.

Bravo Rotem! I love your lessons! Thanks for sharing your gifts.

Might be the best video I've ever seen to bring lots of ideas together in cohesion. It can be a little difficult at times if one isnt a music student per se. The reference to numbers can be confusing - nuances like going from F to B in a chord progression ... I to the IV ... where as playing the root 3rd and 7th first and foremost and only occasionally flatten a 5th or 7th for effect. This can all be a little difficult for a layperson to follow but its starting to make sense

Truly enjoying your content. Recently saw you on Paul’s channel and you came at the right time just as I found an interest in jazz after years of avoiding it. Thanks man

I had not heard of no 5th shell chords before . Looking at this seems a great way to visualize the main tones, keep track of the role of each note in a chord. Another way though to break into real book is through using the 4 inversions of jazz chords using only d g b e strings.

Hi Rotem! just to say that this has been the most valuable, easy to follow and powerfull topics I´ve seen so far and everything in just 13min minutes. This video also delivers the importance to have a printed version of the Real Book. About tritones, very well explained. My teacher just taught me tritones and his way of explaining was to substitute any dominant 7 chord in the progression with it´s #4 dominant 7th. Video request: what about 2nd dominant substitution? are those the same as tritones?? can you talk about it. Thanks a lot and will follow you channel and patreon right now!

Thank you so much! Last time I went to intro to jazz class after practicing chords, my professor told me "You need to change how you grab chords. those are for pop/rocks" and I had no other idea how to do it. This explains it so well for me!

First of all great video. I just learned the drop 2 voicings and the inversions for those but I feel like there is more and this is the more. I would love to see your approach on harmonizing a melody on the spot. Like if you and your band are trying to write a song and someone comes up with a melody, how to make cool chords around that melody. Thanks man you're awesome 👍

Thank you for this!

I never thought that my musical inspiration is going from pure Metallica to Hardcore to Djent/Deathmetal and finally you. Jazz. You’re amazing, after 14 years of guitar playing I’m still learning so much. Thank you!

Got to admit that you have skill to explain things which are more or less complex in a way, that eventually they are becoming obvious. Secondly, I cannot explain it, but some kind of really good vibe can be sensible when watching your vids :) Anyhow - cannot wait to finish job and grab guitar to practice!

Hello Rotem. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us and congrats for your music, I love it! This is quite an old post so I don’t expect you to answer but anyways… I’ll give it a try. Both 6th and 5th string voicings can be moved to the 5th and 6th respectively. I was curious to understand if they are used like that as well, as clearly the main difference between the shapes is that the 7th and 3rd are inverted. Thanks and do keep playing !!!

Thanks for this lesson. Love jazz, but am a zero when it comes to playing it. Will subscribe!
