BE THE PLAYER
YOU ALWAYS
WANTED TO BE!
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.

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 next cohort of this course will have a first bi-weekly coaching session on November 13th, and a last session in April of 2025.
spots will be very limited (we'll be taking just 1 groups of 20 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.
