Lofi Guitar Masterclass
The lush chords and layered loops behind lofi and neo-soul guitar.
The lush sound of lofi guitar mostly comes from a small set of chord voicings and the way they lean into each other. This masterclass starts with the basics that make everything else work — locking a loop in time, hearing the tonal center, tagging each chord quality in your ear — then hands you the major 7, minor 7, dominant, and diminished shapes that show up again and again in lofi and neo-soul. From there you build one-color songs and fingerpicked loops, and the advanced section shows you upper structures: a way to get rich extended chords out of shapes you already know. By the end you're layering full grooves of your own, built up step by step from plain triads into something you actually want to listen to.

This is for you if…

- Anyone who loops (or wants to) and needs the layers to actually sit together in time
- Jazz-curious players who want extensions and voice leading taught inside real grooves instead of a theory course
Maybe not yet if…
- Total beginners still learning to fret chords cleanly
- Players looking for fast single-note soloing — this is a chord and groove course

Before you enroll
YouTube gives you scattered tips with no order. This is a sequenced path — each lesson builds on the last, with the practice material and the exact next step handed to you so you stop guessing what to work on.
The course page states the level plainly at the top. If you can already fret cleanly and play in time but feel stuck making real music, most of these are built for you. When in doubt, watch the preview lesson first.
Just your guitar and a way to play the videos. No paid software or plugins required. Anything optional (a looper, a metronome app) is noted in the course requirements.
These are self-paced. Fifteen focused minutes a day moves the needle more than a two-hour cram once a week. Every lesson is short enough to fit a real practice session.
Yes — you get lifetime access to the course and any updates to it. Learn at your pace, revisit lessons whenever a concept comes back around.
Yes. Every course has a free sample lesson so you can hear how Rotem teaches before you spend a dollar.
