I’ve been playing for 25 years and have my degree in music and this was one of the best moments of my RUclips life. So well explained and executed. I couldn’t help but grab my guitar.
finding lofi to be what I've been hearing in my head for years, but did not know what it was called. putting Studio 1 to use with these new guitar sounds and having a blast
4:19 starts to get dense from a theory perspective. Here is what he's saying. An Fmaj7 chord has F-A-C-E notes in it. And an Am7 chord has A-C-E-G notes in it. Notice the A-C-E are the same - but we are changing an F note and a G note. If you play an Am7 over an Fmaj7 then you're really just adding a G note and G is the 9th of Fmaj. So... one could argue that playing an Am7 over an Fmaj7 is ACTUALLY just playing an Fmaj7add9 but leaving out the root note.... Thats why we call it theory...
Your approach to music is so magical. You obviously have a lot of technical knowledge but there is something aetherial and intuitive about your approach.
Great video, Rotem. Simplicity is often underrated by musicians, many of whom focus overly on flash and speed instead of soul and feeling. You break this down well so that novice guitarists will learn valuable lessons and more experienced guitarists will still learn or relearn insights.
My Studiopartner studied classical Piano at a High Level and He hates it nowadays.. He told me He should have stopped after 1 year because everything after that is Just overcomplicated and is in the way of writing simple,yet emotional pieces.
9 minutes into the video and i am actually playing lofi neo soul stuff and understand why and what i am doing. thank you so much! this might have been the most efficient lesson i ever got :)
This is one of the best, freshest guitar videos I have ever seen. He's also showing a great deal of options to superimpose pentatonic scales for different modal sounds, without any extra bs he's just showing HOW. Fantastic video.
Beautiful lesson, and what an intoxicating looped blend. I'm not au fait with neo-soul or lo-fi, but I'm off to learn more now... Forgetting that, the tune is etched into my head now, and I'm happy with that. A great lesson and your style and teaching delivery is, as always, a joy, Thanks once again Philip
I just discovered this lesson and it has filled a cold, rainy Saturday with beauty. I really like this approach and I think I have a lot to learn from it. Joined the Patreon for more down the road.
Rotem it’s always such a treat to watch and listen to your videos ! You are so musical and an amazing teacher too. I don’t know how you can so gracefully go from playing with great feel to explaining / talking about the theory behind it almost in the same breath ! Kol a kavod it’s very impressive!
I’m in the UK, so the time difference probably means I’m at work, and would we pay you or are you doing it through your Patreon? I think you are a very original content creator. Many thanks Rotem, you should have a 0 on the end of your follower number, I’m sure you will get there!
Your video course is so easy approaching but yet contain so many details that it's worth pausing and going back to again and gain. Thank you for being on the other side of the screen
Loveeee what your doing for all of us Rotem! All your content is top notch and your music is beautiful. Easily one of thee best channels to follow on RUclips. Thank you so much!
Hi Rotem, your music is so inspiring and beautiful. This lesson created a revelation for me about using multiple pentatonic scales and chords (derived from diatonic upper structures with common tones) over the progression, rather than just playing the parent key scale or scales associated with each chord over the changes (limited understanding of what was possible). Thanks a lot 🙏🏻
Thank you! so much. This is amazing man. Is the best video in youtube to improvise and learn all at the same time. Long time not having so much fun playing my guitar. Thanks again
Superb video and coming across it couldn't have come at a better time for me. Just beginning my journey in lo-fi and starting to incorporate guitar into the mix. Well done!

Same
Feelin pretty much the same about this. I didn’t even know it had a name.
@@williamhurrelbrink3324 the same thing with me
You’ve been hearing jazz chords for years and didn’t know what it was??
4:19 starts to get dense from a theory perspective. Here is what he's saying. An Fmaj7 chord has F-A-C-E notes in it. And an Am7 chord has A-C-E-G notes in it.

So... one could argue that playing an Am7 over an Fmaj7 is ACTUALLY just playing an Fmaj7add9 but leaving out the root note.... Thats why we call it theory...
So… Fmaj9?
Sorry I’m dumb and read 1 book of music theory lol, still trying to understand it
@@toybonniesfm Hey! Don't call yourself dumb just cause you don't understand something that takes most people a decade of study to fully grasp.
Your approach to music is so magical. You obviously have a lot of technical knowledge but there is something aetherial and intuitive about your approach.
Thanks brother

Thanks!!

Thanks Philip!!
i'm a vocalist but found this video really helpful as a songwriter, thanks!

Spoken word and lofi go so well together that this video is honestly a nice track haha
I agree. I try to keep things simple. I tend to play more colorful ideas with just 2 chords. Thanks!
some people just have the gift of teaching, conveying their ideas and knowledge, with no ego. you definitely have that gift. great stuff
Really having a blast putting this ideas in ableton and making some bass, drums and playing along with my guitar. Thanks a lot for that!
That guitar looks legendary
Most underrated guitar channel of all time.
Oh wow! Thanks!
Beautiful as always. The Emotion and dynamics you convey through your playing is just beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
❤️🙏❤️
Gonna play this video on repeat while I work.
I'm a sax student you help me with my improvising,I always dig your lessons, Thanks for the education.
Oh cool!!
Rotem it’s always such a treat to watch and listen to your videos ! You are so musical and an amazing teacher too. I don’t know how you can so gracefully go from playing with great feel to explaining / talking about the theory behind it almost in the same breath ! Kol a kavod it’s very impressive!
Im so glad Im able to figure out what ppl play by sight and ear.
Having to pay for these tabs is just ridiculous.
Impeccable indelible tone as always Rotem! I feel like I took a dip in the Aegean sea. (A-G-and-C) sorry not sorry for the pun. 😅
Justice Der is the person who inspired me a lot to start playing like that
oh cool!!
This guy has great ears, a bonus for creating great music on the fly.
🙏
what a relazed strugle for pefection done so well

Thank you for encouraging me to develop my ideas more. You're right, the base and foundation doesnt have to be complicated.

Hi Rotem. You are teaching musicians the art of listening to their own music.Thank's.
i had a blast jamming with u champ! thx for everything
Your playing, at least the tone and the fast licks with chromatics, really reminds me of some of Pat Methenys stuff. Sounds awesome man
Loved it. It was like a mini looping course & that’s a good thing! Great groove & rhythm with just two chords. I’m getting busy.
Awesome! Thank you!
The most amazing video on Lofi. Thank you!
Sick af I had a loop pedal for a while and never really knew what to play, this looks like a good jam session
I love those kind of lessons, as a non-jazz leisure guitar player.
I also think they have a lot of potential to grow your audience.
keep it up
the upper structure part sounds so beautiful
Great guitar, nice video production, soothing accent, music theory, fluffy blonde beard...is this Paul Davids' twin?!
This is so great and inspiring. Thank you.
I found you thru Paul Davids! Rotem, I've learned more from you guy's in the past year than I have in all my 25+👊
absolutely love this! Been listening to lofi constantly but never knew how to translate it to guitar - this is so helpful!
very good tuto with out ego and talented and sweet guy
It is so inspiring 😊😊 what a vibe!
Another wonderful lesson. Your videos are so inspiring. Thanks Rotem for the excellent content.
🙏🙏🙏
Man I like the way you talk about the music as you are making it, it's wonderful... any advice for someone starting in this style?

Very well presented. I like how you show ideas and options on how to play simple progressions. Cheers!
