5000 Hours to realize you can do it in 10 (PRACTICE RIGHT)

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Hiya! I'm releasing a new album!!! please pre save it (FREE) - ffm.to/dreamlouder

Pat Metheny said in one of the interviews that for him a quest of being a musician is all about listening, not playing. And the way to develop as a musician is to start hearing oneself in the context better. Nice to see this idea reiterated, especially that it is not spread wide enough. Thank you Rotem!

It’s crazy that we put so much effort into playing and not a lot into listening. Thank you for the call out ❤

[@akhileshsonawane8828]

Its kind of opposite for me

[@artemdro]

Man, you’re Confucius of music. Pure wisdom and inspiration ❤

[@michaelandersson1904]

It be a sort of meditation too!! I feel so great when I use my ears that you learn us. Often I've been playing and looking on tv at the same time and that is worthless!!

[@michaelaiello9525]

1. Listen deeply, really pay attention 2. Connecting emotionally (100% CPU) 3. Articulate how what you are playing makes you feel (lol, wish I could articulate that sentence better!) 4. Listen to the sound from the outside. 5. Practice with love and consistency. (truthful attention) 6. Look at the Beast .. identify what is really hard for you (that you want to do) and do that first thing every day. Maybe you have multiple beasts AND the beast will change.. but look at the beast square in the eye first thing . 7. Some things don’t take much time. Identify specific skills/ bits of theory and raise yourself up .. just learn them. (hello, chord substitution,.. what?!). 8. Learn from the music. 9. Singing. 10. Take your time.

GREAT advice Rotem!!! IM GOING TO PUT THIS INTO PRACTICE STARTING TODAY!

[@scottjones6624]

All I can say is this was lovely and helpful.

[@reon127]

Great advice!! I’m definitely about to try this out

[@1ouncebird]

I appreciate your lesson here with your sharing from your own mistakes and for your thoughtful encouragement. I may not play it very well but the guitar is just an amazing instrument and life pursuit.

[@Pigrat.]

Day one: it brought me to a place where I realized I actually fell in love with the guitar. I was oscillating between two major 7th chords, but they seemed endless and magical. I was being taken away by the sounds and enjoying them. Can't wait for day 2

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Wow. Love it!! Keep going man

[@FerrisFlyer]

That was really well articulated. I find it so hard to actually listen to what I'm playing as I do it. It's only when I play it back I instantly hear the right or wrong notes as well as any timing issues. That outsideness is definitely something to strive for

[@andrewdarnley4608]

Playing mindfully

[@prodbygeome]

Fantastic video. Thank you !

[@shawngeabhart4312]

This is great. I am a hobbyist so my playing time is limited but this will help me make the most of it. I sometimes forget to really be present in the moment. Thanks, and as always your playing is wonderful.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Happy to help!!

[@sebastienrodier7863]

Thank you Rotem ! Maybe you could add one step to the process : recording yourself to listen what you are playing and how it make you feel 😃 And moreover it help your technique and your timing ..

[@MrAwesomeSaucesome]

Fuck yea! I light up every time I see someone mention Shawn Lane :))

[@matt_greene]

You had Hal Galper as a teacher?? sweet! I love watching his old YT videos. Make a video that goes over more what you learned from him?

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Yes! He's great - I'll try!

[@brunoberger9490]

I have played today a piece i am learning with more musicality, because i was listening more and i have not just played the notes. Thanks to your advise.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Great man!! ❤️

[@VitoGaarin]

Always inspiring, great job 👍👍👍👍👍

[@travelingman9763]

Copying is after a point a waste of time unless just impressing musicians matter! In fact, no clone has inspired me to want to pursue music!

[@benkatof5852]

Beautiful stuff. So right about attention!

[@johnblau5190]

Cool Ideas !

[@shovelest6861]

3:43 lol this guy rocks

[@daynemin]

Silence is the highest form of intelligence. How quiet can we be to hear the most.

[@barbarosalimert3219]

Thank u 🙏🏼

[@johnblau5190]

PRACTICE with Intention with attention to Detail, with A Ckear Expected Outcome !

[@dlmgtar]

[@baztweed]

5000 Hours to realize you can do it in 10 (PRACTICE RIGHT) hahah muppet

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Watttt?

[@baztweed]

@@RotemSivanGuitar just thought it was one of those daft click bate titles, you don't need that nonsense, you teach and play amazingly,

[@taufiqandikajazzer]

Today, the jazz music you play is less meaningful than the sound of the Palestinian people crying because of the Israeli genocide 😢 I love your lesson, Bro ❤

[@noethirion2168]

If people cared more about beauty and pursuing emotional expression, maybe there would be less violence and less injustice in this world. Peace 🙏

[@vahidparsaee336]

didn't you heard that they are human shields, not human ? Israel is safe now, lookslike that's what only matters !
