6 Dynamic-Focused Exercises to Play Guitar Beautifully 

What's something you learned this year that you wish you knew a little earlier?

There are three basic physical qualities to sound in music: frequency (pitch), the spacing of silences (rhythm), and its amplitude (dynamics). After being self taught and playing for almost 20 years, I feel like I only recently started paying attention to and practicing the consistency of my dynamics with these kinds of exercises. It’s made such a huge difference, and I feel like I can play much more expressively and control. To me, I’ve often thought of really excellent guitar players being able to play the instrument in a way that expresses sound much like a vocalist, and I think is the key to that kind of playing and I like how you used spoken phrases as an analogy. Awesome stuff!!

I got distracted a couple of times by the trinity of D'Angelico head stocks in the background, but I was to refocused and learn. Great lesson!

Yes! Dynamic is so important. I have this problem of always tryna play loud for solo to stand out but the emotion didn't quite go through. Thanks for this tips

Very important and interesting info. Thanks Rotem!

Man! That's exactly how I wanna play! I found you!

So much profound wisdom in these musicianship lessons. Thank you 🙏

Great lesson, something overlooked and probably underused, but so effective. Thank you.

Hey Rotem, I don‘t want to be rude, I really love your channel and wanna keep supporting you. But you might wanna change your microphone for recording your voice when you explain things. I‘m hearing some hissing in the background and it sounds like your quite ‚far away‘ from the mic. Love from Germany ♥️
