[@zealforhumnity]

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!

[@fred8097]

So happy to see your channel growing, Rotem. You deserve it!

[@mjames3662]

Love your vibe man... it's so cool to see someone with your passion. It's pretty obvious you were born for this! 🎸🎶✌

[@risteardohaodha23]

Yes! Love this style of playing, thats my holiday Monday activity sorted!

[@RickLewis91]

Also I’d like to add a huge thank you to you for your amazing, consistent updates, that keep me inspired.. keeps me learning!

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

🙏

[@ronsnijders3636]

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!

[@kenkelly382]

Finally a lesson on how and when to play Double Stops. With an amazing explanation of the subject. Really appreciate you creating this content.

[@thosedamneyesofficialyoutu3102]

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 🎸💯🎸

[@DonVal86]

I like the intro. Described double stops exactly the way I used to wonder about them.

[@aplausostudios]

Your videos are great, the instruction is fantastic but man, that guitar is SUPERB!!!! You've won another subscriber :)

[@RodrigoGonzalez-jk3db]

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!

[@tommccarthy1443]

One of the BEST double stop tutorials. Thank you.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@jimdep6542]

Beautiful playing, tone and the guitar itself. That's a beauty ~ Thanks

[@alexeytropin171]

Outstanding performance, thank you very much! Pleasant tone and overall feeling!

[@huginnn3002]

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!

[@XaloCtrlAltSpr]

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)

[@carlosczg]

Your the best Sivan. Thanks a lot for all the help

[@johnhendricks8140]

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

[@wchphoto]

Great video! I love this approach. Thank you!

[@richardsteinbergmakingknives]

Great video, thank you!!!

[@veco5731]

Great lesson Rotem thank you. getting into Jubu Smith lately very soulful, gospel, bluesy and r&b feel

[@pmross3092]

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.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Sure thing man!

[@flatbaroque4049]

You're my favorite KZbin instructor bro. God bless.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

🙏

[@slowpro5201]

Great lesson, loved the smooth tone you had today

[@molomono9481]

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).

[@jerryallaway2667]

Young kid from Italy, Mattao Mancusso. Unbelievable fusion of flamenco, jazz and rock and his fingering is quite impressive especially his right hand fingering!

[@OnTheLeftHandSide]

OMG! This is so good. This is exactly what I need!

[@samotisbeard]

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 ;)

[@patrickpilgrim7369]

Good stuff as always!

[@thegroovegroup51]

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.

[@Christian-dr4ge]

Mark Speer has to be my favorite. Thanks for the great content :)

[@alarconclaudio]

Wow thanks man, very good tutorial, and what a beautiful sound you have by the way! congratulations

[@alarconclaudio]

My favorite guitar player? mmm maybe Matteo Mancuso in these days...

[@ehi3398]

My favorite Guitar player? You! Just found you, but already learned so much, thanks!

[@salmec1217]

Thanks for these beautiful Tips!

[@grgwashnton23]

amazing lesson!!!

[@SzabacsiNandor]

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. :)

[@davidvandegaer750]

Very cool. Very fun. Thanks!

[@pg123ab]

Great lesson Rotem 🙏

[@cartajulian1]

[@joepearcey9114]

Love your teaching style. I’m a classic rock guy, so love David Gilmour and the like.

[@victorypirata]

Me too!

[@tomisina7144]

Great lesson!

[@tonyperiphoto]

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.

[@bobdejager4121]

That's magical man.

[@mativasquezdlc]

man this was beautiful, amazing work, thank u so much kind sir

[@gleitonsouza4927]

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!

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Very very cool

[@VitalBigras]

[@scottfoster3643]

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 :}

[@Diego7Strat]

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.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Great lesson thank you

[@lautix]

You shoul be out there playing you are a legend

[@rookiem8]

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!

[@samuelola6432]

i love the groove and it melody

[@GTRalso]

Informative, practical and inspirational. I will subscribe.

[@erikwera8501]

Julian lage is someone I learned of recently and he's been blowing my mind.

Thanks, Rotem! Amazing tutorial. Kudos to you and your work! BTW, I’ve been checking out Hudson Davis and Seiji Igusa.

[@bodnarn]

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.

[@TheFeelButton]

Double stop Monday! Good stuff Rotem!!

Listening to Dakota Muckey. The song, This is the music that heals your soul. Great loop and guitar work, leads and arrangement.

[@PeeJay57]

Indeed cool, fun and interesting…. And informative! Thanks.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

🙏 thanks Paul!

[@silversparrow6656]

The best part of this video is his undeniable love of the guitar. I know how you feel 👍

[@malgid5711]

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!!!

[@KariSbjornKarason]

Great lesson, thank you.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

🙏🙏🙏

[@danielgreenberg4751]

Great video! I’ve been listening to Matteo Mancuso, John Nathan Cordy and Gene Cabrerra 😀👍🏼

[@mljrotag6343]

I love Chris Bucks style.

[@Wofanie]

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 😂

[@willowla_]

Really digging Ariel Posen these days! The guy is a master of dynamics. His cover of "Angelene" is just such a vibe

[@xxxxxxxtra]

Yeah really digging Ariel these days too! This guy is really really soulfull.

[@pridgenwatkins2867]

Inspiration!

[@PRAD1983001]

Well done

[@ue4058]

Bill Frisell, and that's been true for many years. His approach to solo jazz guitar arrangements is unique.

[@johnrussell29]

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.

[@JiMMY-my1ds]

Ted Greene 👍 All about chord relationships. Beautiful music!

[@Rhysterical]

Colin James has some great energy in his playing. Voodoo child is my favourite.
