They really just broke it down that easy I love what youtubers are doing to bring music education to everyone and make it feel so accessible

Loved the conversational style of the video

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

happy you dig!

[@grantmeister1420]

The Iphone notification being the tonic of the key they’re in was perfect

[@maxovgrom]

These two got special chemistry! Harmony and vibe are awesome! Thank you for such an inspiring content!

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Thanks Max!!!

[@NEVU_GRUV]

''enjoy the pain, thats whats jazz is all about" you guys just made the perfect style of video, Rotem! pls keep it up!! cheers from brazil!

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Cheers Pedro!!

[@MusiciansReflib]

Love this content. Two of my favorite creators on the same video having fun jamming some great music.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

THANKS!!

[@qcaruba]

The part at 2:28 is the most elegant display of I've ever seen of something I've always said for years; the bass is the key element of the music. If the bass is off, everything sounds off, cause everything is relative to the bass. I've never seen that better encapsulated than right there.

[@nomannic1]

Lofi got me into jazz so I am very grateful for that!! Groovy video!! 🔥

[@keithb_3]

that’s something i’ve thought about lol. it’s a great way to get young people into jazz

[@user-dj9iu2et3r]

This guy Rotem is just one of those guitarists that can do whatever he sings in his mind.

[@BrodySchoonMusic]

This might be the best intro into teaching jazz I could ever watch, there were so many concepts mentioned that I could feel what I liked and what I thought didn't really work.

[@KiraPlaysGuitar]

Adam channeling a little Michael Brecker around 15:30. Trains is one of my favourites, sing the solo every time I hear it hehe. Awesome video, makes me want to sit with a simple vamp for like an hour and really learn what's there and what's applicable.

[@rjman3616]

I keep coming back to this video. Thank you Rotem and Adam for sharing this

[@javiercmh]

That notification in perfect tune with their playing ⚡

[@alexkidd4144]

This is gold for those looking for a musical explanation of theory (sounds obvious, but so many theory lessons fail to adequately demonstrate how it can be applied musically)

[@evanwilliamson8338]

14:33 - Rotem being an absolute monster. The tapping is just ridiculous. Great playing and great video gents!

[@francoscotta220]

You guys are truly inspiring. Love your collabs together!

[@jaden_makes_music]

1:32 beautiful I had a visceral reaction to that lineee and that last passing chord on one was delicious 6:47 and the f sharp at 15:33 was perfect really shows how one note can completely recontextualize a line

[@junka22]

Ha, love how you can't stop vibing, awesome! Such a cool demonstration of how much is contained in a simple thing that a lot of us have played, and how much of a change a single bass note makes. 🔥

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

bass is the place

[@samwebber3109]

@@RotemSivanGuitar can you please not ignore the woman above you she’s saying something

[@LuckFx]

Boy oh boy, all of it was fantastic, I particularly loved the chromatic legatos at 1:36... It sounded just perfect

[@PasiFourmyle]

Walking, maybe even crawling through the tension at times, to get home. Very inspiring guys! ❤

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

thanks Lucas!!

[@tsg_frank]

Nice to see this kind of vibe, especially with Adam giving great insights on the harmony Would have been nice to just see more of both getting lost in the improv

[@67RFMC]

"Enjoying the pain" is definitely another level of improvising. No wrong notes here, we just have to lead them somewhere with some sense (to rest for a brief moment).

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

it's a fun way to feel it!

[@HrKosmoshosen]

What a pleasure to watch you two play together! Great vibe and sound as well as lesson all in one!

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Thank you Aaron!! Means a lot

This is such a lovely format for a video! Thank you for this amazing free content!!

Great video will definately have to watch it more than once 😄😄

[@smtsjhr]

@14:02 even the phone ding sounds good bless

[@KiraPlaysGuitar]

Golden tip @ 16:38 - Find a simple, interesting idea you can repeat, while you give your mind the time to scramble together a sick line. You might only hear the first few notes or a general idea in your head, but it's enough to get you to a point where your intuition catches up. That's why it's worth listening to, playing and generally soaking up different ideas. Try to hear the ways people have figured out how to play over different chords/movements and adopt, apply and make your own, the ones you like. And may as well try to discover your own ways to do, think about and hear things while you're at it!

[@bzznz]

Cool vibes and some very useful pointers, much appreciated

Float on- the floaters such an addictive vamp

[@kevinastudillo1181]

This is what I needed harmonic expression utilizing passing chords

[@kevinastudillo1181]

Tho I wish there was a lesson on utilizing arpeggios to express certain intervals for a chord

[@bobsmith12345]

great vid!

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Thanks Bob 🙏

Thanks for this - great to jam along with & get fresh ideas 👍😊

I feel like a learned so much in such a short video. cool stuff, subbed

[@selliantuttimusi6735]

Amazing content guys!!

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Thanks !!

[@jonasmartinsen3439]

Great video idea, I suggest having a shorter video where you take song which is meant for explaining certain harmonic devices used in different genres. In the video you would explain what’s happening while playing the song. I 4-5 minute video in this format would be great.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Thanks! I'll try

[@elnara329]

I love this kind of lessons. Mostly because i think it's not the notes you play but the mindset you have while playing and the conviction to embrace new weird ideas. Amazing thanks!

The oldest story Guitarist: you can just play whatever and make it work Bassist: nods while crying inside

[@nunezkant]

I respect a lot jazz musicians, I try to learn about it, digest it, make it part of my vocabulary, but jazz players really understand music you know? I feel that jazz gives you the key of freedom in music, and freedom is just understanding.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

It does give you some great tools I feel

[@nunezkant]

@@RotemSivanGuitar I respect your knowledge and approach to music, so much. Keep going !

[@zairannosaurusflex3304]

Cool video. What model bass is Adam playing? That thing is stylish

[@drewseisler6256]

I said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side

[@zachwatson8336]

Reminds me of the title screen song to The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. Which has the same key and chord progression.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Oh yea lol!

[@effsixteenblock50]

Chord progression to "Ventura Highway". So basically the band "America" was one of the early "lofi" bands?

[@OdaKa]

watching til the end to see if they talk about Roten vocalizing along with his playing

[@ljummen1279]

Your guitar is a real beauty! What model is it? Do you have any tips on guitars for someone who's looking to get into hollowbodies (semi as well)?

[@Merlincat007]

I'm also curious. No logo on the headstock, I think? Maybe a custom guitar from a smaller maker?

[@marshallgrey2159]

Your colors reminded me of self-titled album by Caroline.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Ill check it out!

[@youtubecommenter6864]

Yea

[@TannerCCCCC]

1:36 LoZ lick?

[@sro3189]

Hello Rotem. I would like to ask you a question. Do you use metronome when you study or you put a line bass of battery like that?

[@darwinsaye]

I remember when “lo fi music” denoted a music genre with a low fidelity sound quality and not a style of music.

[@Aande40]

…or showing off generic pointless virtuosity.

[@nickspencer2207]

Yo that’s crazy. Now it’s a style of music tho

[@iunknown563]

What a delicious delight😋!

[@karlderdelinckx]

Nice tip for the bassist to hold you’re ground when the soloist is going outside the scale. Just wondering if you have a system if the soloist just starts playing in an other scale. Is there a way improvising jazz players signal each other when they go up a third or something like that?

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

trying to listen

[@karlderdelinckx]

@@RotemSivanGuitar was afraid of that answer ;) I’ll have to start looking for a bass player that can listen …

[@wallacegrommet9343]

Satie enters the chat

[@TommyGunzzz]

I think I'm still confused on why the e minor worked

[@villehorila4895]

Well, E minor pentatonic has the notes E, G, A, B and D, which all belong to C major as well, so there are no notes "outside" the key. You have access to both the thirds of and major sevenths for both chords in this progression (A and E for Fmaj7, E and B in Cmaj7), so it's pretty easy to emphasize the harmony. As long as someone is playing the chord progression in a steady(ish) manner, you can get some nice melodies going even without having access to the roots of the chords. It makes for a pretty floaty sound without getting too weird. That's my take, anyway!

[@crouchingturbo]

What you can't see in this video, right behind them is $240 worth of pudding.

[@JimThomi]

You’re amazing Rotem Metheny, or is it Pat Sivan
