Technique & Speed
Clean, relaxed, faster playing from the routine Rotem still plays first thing every morning.
Rotem remembers gigs where he heard a line in his head, couldn't play it, and just didn't. This is the routine he built to fix that, adapted from what his classical guitar teacher showed him, and it's still the first thing he plays when he picks up the guitar. A 28-page PDF in notation and tab: open-string picking that teaches your picking hand where the strings are without looking, subdividing the beat from 1 to 12 against a slow click, eight chromatic exercises that work string changes and string skips, and a legato set. Seven videos walk you through it, with Rotem playing the examples and showing how he practices them. The whole routine takes about 20 minutes to half an hour.

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.
