Have a look of what's inside and why it would work for you!

My best, most comprehensive course ever!
Imagine yourself soloing with effortless precision, captivating everyone around you with your skill. With this guitar course, I believe you can turn that vision into reality. The step-by-step guidance with video lessons, exercises, daily homework assignments, accountability through a supportive community, jam tracks and much more, will empower you to play like a pro. Unlock your musical potential and let the strings sing your story. Join us, and let your guitar journey begin today.
With years of experience of teaching shorter courses online, I've been working on a more complete course for you all, because what I see a lot is that the MAIN thing that gets intermediate guitar players stuck is the lack of consistency and accountability.
With this hybrid course, I want to target those guitarists who have been playing for a while but really need that feedback, community and accountability to get there.

Video Testimonials
Testimonials
“Rotem is one of the very best jazz teachers in my opinion. Making it very understandable and put in a real world scenario."
“Rotem obviously has a lot of technical knowledge but there is something ethereal and intuitive about his approach”
“Rotem breaks this down so well that novice guitarists will learn valuable lessons and more experienced will still learn or relearn insights.”
The Course Structure
The 26 Week Guitar Transformation with Rotem is built out of 13 two-week "blocks", each with a core focus.
Students spend 2 weeks diving deep into the curriculum, with the guidance of online videos, transcriptions, jam tracks, and interaction with your class of maximum 10 students on our online community page.
The icing on the cake is a 1-hour group session with Rotem when the 2 weeks conclude. In this session you go over what you learned, where you struggled, get some extra tricks, advice, and more!



You can have access to all of the above for just $1199

FAQs
When does the course start and finish?
The first cohort of this course will have a first bi-weekly coaching session on September 19th, and a last session February of 2025. The goal is that you start diving into the curriculum by September 5th.
spots will be very limited (we'll be taking just 3 groups of 10 students this time around), so don't sit on this opportunity too long!
How long do I have access to the online part of the course?
After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - the only thing that ends after the 26 weeks are the bi-weekly coaching sessions! So even when the course is "over" you'll be able to go back to exercises and videos as much as you like.
Can I purchase just the online portion of the course - without coaching?
We believe that the bi-weekly coaching sessions will be vital to ensure students succeed. Therefore we're not offering to just purchase the online portion of the 26 week guitar challenge for now.
What if I am unhappy with the course?
We want happy students only! If you are unsatisfied with this course, contact us in the first 30 days and we will give you a full refund.
I know what you're thinking - this feels like a lot. But truly, this in fact boils down to less than 50 dollars per week.
This is even less than taking a private lesson once a week with a relatively affordable private teacher. And significantly less than more expensive private teachers - or studying music in college, because let's be honest, we're going to be covering a ton of ground here.
And no added costs for things like transportation or syllabi, everything is here!
Then add all the value you're getting on top of just the teaching and the curriculum (community, discounts, a lot of online resources you'll never lose access to). I think this is a no-brainer.

More Testimonials
"Studying with Rotem really changed my life. I started out as, guitarist who can play some, but lacks the basics. Studying with Rotem really helped with that. Within a very short amount of time, I would say three months, I got really deep into Improvisation and jazz. Rotem really has been a great mentor for me. and I hope he will be for you, too." - Eric Luo
"It's my pleasure to recommend Rotem. An amazing player, a fantastic teacher. I felt like every time that we met, he had thought about how to help me become a better player, and he had prepared things, he had ideas, and he was really invested in my growth and, creativity as a player. He helped with timing, with harmony, understanding the fretboard, understanding how to think more creatively within framework of changes and, harmony. I highly recommend working with him. He enhanced my musicianship quite a bit and, just a fantastic guy and player!" - M.J.

I want to help you become the guitar player - You want to be. In this course I will be your guide.
I will take you step by step through these sections and show you how things are being done.
I will also be there to inspire you. We will meet every two weeks in order to go over things and work together. You’ll submit videos, ask questions and I personally will help you.
It is very important for me to create a community as well as personal experience. Our community will be a small group of up to 10 people that will support each other
in our journey. I will be there to make sure that you're doing all the right steps.
If you follow my lead, at the end of this process, I'll make sure you are a true musician and true guitar player, that you can solo the things that are in your head, you can express in create
with this beautiful instrument. I know this sounds almost too crazy, but I'm telling you this really works. This course is extremely extensive. And this is why I want to be here personally answering your questions and answering your video submissions, as well as a community
that supports this whole journey together. I know sometimes it's hard to find the motivation and the will to practice but I'm going to inspire you in different ways and really work for me and I'm sure will work for you. You'll see at the end of this process together you will be a true guitar player, I promise.
The fact that you're here already speaks volumes. I'm saying that with all the love in my heart.
Because it's not easy to admit to ourselves that we need to make a change, to make a real change. If you want to be free, if you want to see the fretboard, if you want to play what's in your head - you are in the right place.
Look, it took me years to build this course and I'm super excited to share it with you. We're talking with 26 weeks where we'll go over a lot of aspects of music, but not only technical things,
not only songs, not only PDF transcriptions, jam tracks, and play along. A lot of things are there... BUT also how to truly play guitar, how to connect to the sounds, how to connect with the instrument, and how to create. We'll talk about theory, how things work. We'll talk about framework fluency, how to really see the board and connect the dots, not just separated
elements. We'll talk about chords Inversions, 7th chords, how to create, how to play songs
and how to create your own music.
This course is for you.If you want to clean up your act and also play what's in your ears and heart, this is all possible within that time frame.
I know a lot of people waste weeks, months, and sometimes years and I know it's hard
and can be very frustrating. This is why I'm so excited about this course. I want to show you how to go from point A to point B with a lot of love and fun.I want to show you how to go from point A to point B with a lot of love and fun. It's actually super fun to be able to create and see these elements and really express music in the way that you feel music. This is why we're here. I'm so excited about guitar and I want to share this love for music and guitar with you!
We have a tremendous amount of resources in this course. There are over 400 pages of note to note transcription with notation and TAB we have 40 play a long jam tracks that I created
specifically to practice certain things. There are also a tremendous amount of practice files. These files are adjustable in tempo and you can see the notation
as well as the TABs while they move so you can really, really nail the exercise.
One of the most important things in music is the ability to connect your ears, fingers and heart.
And we'll talk about how to truly hear the elements, how to not just play the scale position,
but actually feel & hear it. And this is an important part, how we practice the element
in a truthful way that will actually yield success very quickly, is an important part of this whole course.
And of course we'll be breaking down music. We'll take songs, solos and specific lines
as we look and check out the specific devices that are taking place. What is the neighborhood they're functioning within? Why do they sound the way they do? How can you play that line?
But also seeing the building blocks of music, seeing the building blocks of that line so you can adjust it and use it for your purposes. We'll be covering a variety of shapes - triads, 7th chords, extensions, and how to actually make sense of it. We'll see how we can create these lush
sounds with a lot of ease. Once we understand the elements. in terms of time.
We're all busy people. So for this course all you need is between 30-60 minutes a day.
That's it. Between 30-60min and you can do everything I'm talking about.
You'll also be getting a bi-weekly session with me. These groups are up to ten people. They're not mandatory, but I do of course recommend and encourage everybody to join. The session will be recorded and you'll get lifetime access to them.
And of course, don't forget our community on Discord! Where we'll be pushing each other to create and get the best results out of this course.
When I started teaching guitar about 20 years ago, I realized that one of the hardest things for people is consistency but also one of the best things to learn music in guitar is consistency. This one, this course is different. We have a community that supports this consistency.
You will be able to submit videos and questions and will be answered.
We can ask questions and get feedback on your specific needs. It's quite amazing to see how the group, how the community can push each other, and together we can get to a place
that is so high musically that we never even imagined! It's quite remarkable and I encourage and actually really, really recommend to use that feature of the community post talk, ask questions, submit videos and you'll see how your progression just escalates. It's quite amazing.
look, if you're excited about guitar and music just as much as I do, you are in the right place. I really, really promise you.
Today, As a bonus, I will offer you an extra one on one session with me.
I know this is a serious investment, but making a true investment in yourself in music and guitar is one of the things that will bring a lot of joy to your life. I really do believe in it. and I created an excellent course that will take you from point A to point B, and you'll be able to be so free
and so thankful, because at the end of the day, six months for
this price is quite amazing. I'm very excited to start this journey together. I'll see you on the inside.
