This reminds me of the day they introduced letters in math class.
-
"A scale is not a scale" Yep, that's a jazz guitarist right there
-
"A scale is not a scale, it's a beautiful melody" - Rotem Sivan
-
One of my biggest breakthroughs playing jazz was learning standards like "Take The A Train" and "Blue Bossa" The more standards you learn, the better you get.
-
Was so fun, thanks for having me man! 🙏
-
"A scale is not a scale, it's just a beautiful melody" means so much when you think about why we created scales in the first place
-
I just spent about 40 min watching this 21 min video, with lot's of "rewinds", being sure I understood the chords and the progression. I felt compelled to write with a thank you. I found your pacing, your casual relaxed tone, and the step by step progression from "level 1" to "level 7" to be great. I played along throughout, taking breaks to write down all the chords and labeling each note and its position in the scale on my paper, for full comprehension. Thank you for a great lesson!
-
I had the great privilege of studying with Rotem for a few months, brilliant musician and great teacher.
-
My level of jazz is a mixture of jazz and funk, its called junk
-
I have never been so entertained and so confused at the same time.
-
Brilliant stuff gentlemen 🔥
-
the chords progression from 10:29 the 2-5-1 to D and then the 2-5-1 to C was so beautiful and simple. love it
-
What level Jazz are you?! 😅
-
knowing pauls editing, i can't be sure if they're in the same room or not

Thank you Paul for your enthusiasm for music and guitar. It’s infectious and very genuine. I’m sure you already have a good grasp on the fundamentals expressed here, yet you bring us along as though discovering for the first time the sounds of “jazz”. You are very humble and I really appreciate that. You certainly deserve the immense following you have nurtured and built up on YouTube.
-
whatever I do on my guitar it's just rock pentatonics that comes out. But after watching this video something has changed. I give credit to you Paul and especially your guest Rotem. This is so naturally explained. Im getting a picture now of what jazz is all about and where I have to go if I am going to step into that way of playing. Thank you both guys!
-
The cool thing about you is that you seem like a genuinely good dude, who is confident enough in his own abilities as a player that you give your guests the space to showcase what they do. Not only recognizing, but also appreciating that their strengths and areas of expertise are different from your own
-
"Minor 7 flat 5 'if I remember correctly'" I love the way Paul is pretending like he doesn't know these things!!!
-
I love how much the melodies resolve to the next chord, and the way the jazzy melody resolution is both aurally predictable, but feels surprising when it is in context. Very neat way to take a C major scale, and providing all that color by moving through the progression. Thanks for the collab, I really enjoyed the banter and easy way you unpacked some very complex concepts that make it sound so simple when slowed down and explained.
-
Just Wooooow! Really, I've been dreaming about lessons like this for years now. All those jazz theory books don't show you the vibe you need to play jazz. But seeing you both and talking about creating melodies, that really inspires a lot. Thank you so much Paul and Rotem.
