- Defying Gravity... Probably my favourite song I ever wrote. The song has several themes that take you on a musical journey through intertwining melodies.
It was named 'Defying Gravity' because it has this like floating vibe to it and very calm serene feelings. This song was written in about 2 weeks - shorter than ANY other song i've written (some took YEARS to write), and I wrote it for the JTC Guitar Hero ballads. I never shared the full video on my channel, so here it is after several years - Defying Gravity. Enjoy :)

As a guitar player, I stand in awe at this level of playing. Not only is the phrasing superb, but his runs are literally flawless. I could practice every day for years and never play this well.
4:04 this is what it looks like when you enter the Ultra Zone.
Years of dedicated training, patience, and honing one’s craft, culminating in a moment of pure, epic bliss.
The hallmarks of a True Shredder.
Excellent work. A sad reminder that some of the best musicians never get the credit or notoriety they deserve. Subbed.
Amen, a sad reality but then again I found him before he was famous.
He is slowly starting to get the credit he deserves. Guy's playing is amazingly slick.
Agree fully. Hé is so good. His playing goes straight to the soul
Name checks out
True, he's so much better and original than some other "guitar heroes"
Jesus dude. How are you not the most popular guitarist on CZcams??
This song is absolutely FANTASTIC. Original, emotional, takes you on a whole journey. It’s not cheesy or contrived like a lot of “shred” guitar is nowadays.
Seriously amazing job dude!
There's a lot of competition, but the cream will rise to the top.

Santana 2.0?
Amazing theme, amazing variations, amazing progression. Best decision I made today is clicking on this video.
One of THE most beautiful melodies I've ever heard.......only someone with a beautiful soul can compose something so dynamic! 😊
Exactly🔥
What, Are you kidding me, What an amazing player this guy is on it.He's got all the right notes.This guy is just on top of his game. All knowing all seeing he's just one of those amazing players that are far and few, Super exceptional his other videos are absolutely phenomenal 👍👍👍👍
Brilliant. I absolutely love the fact that there is no need for superfluous tapping, hybrid picking, thumping or any other flavor of the month techniques. Just good strong melody with clean harmonious lines.
Im a fan 💪🏻
Toda mi admiración para usted, su magnífica técnica, profesionalismo y sonido único. Le escribo desde el lejano Chile, y este tema Defying Gravity lo escucho con mucha frecuencia, es uno de mis favoritos. Saludos para usted desde este rincón del mundo, y gracias.
Loved the little Pachelbel's Canon easter egg tucked in there!
Wow perfect song . Fan Thailand 🇹🇭
Fantastic melody, so sweet, soulfull and fullfilling!
Although Nostalgic Dreams is my fav, this song is incredible. You deserve so much more attention, since discovering you a week or so back I've looped your songs probably hundreds of times already 😄
I really hope to see you one day on a G3 concert, man. I hope to be like you when I grow up.
Would be a dream come true. My first concert as a kid was G3 - Malmsteen, Vai, and Satch
RoyZivMusic that’s amazing! I only saw the DVD. I love those G3 concerts.
@@RoyZivMusic I got to see Eric Johnson, Vai, and Satch, with Stu Hamm. G3 was a life changer for me in Seattle November, 1997. I found out being a great guitar player just doesn't cut it for most people. Satriani played perfect as the show closer, but so loud and piercing only guitar players and metal fans could appreciate it apparently, as over half the crowd walked out when he started to play.
I still don't understand how anyone could walk out of a Joe Satriani concert with Stu Hamm on bass. I think Jeff Campitelli was on drums, and he was amazing as well. Mike Kenelly with Vai doing duel harmonies. Eric Johnson with just stripped down 3 piece playing everything off Aha via musicom improvised.
Johnson opened the show and it took them two songs to get warmed up, as they were improvising most of their lines. By the end of Johnson's show he was firing on all cylinders with his signature machine gun picking style, and multi octave arpeggios. Vai's band volume was the only disappointment in the entire night, as they had to save volume for Satriani as the show closer. Satriani played flawlessly for two hours along with everyone in his band. Surfing with the Alien, Living in a Blue Dream, Satch Boogie, etc.
Hey me too buddy, and I'm 38 lol
@@RoyZivMusic funny, mine was satch via and johnson.
Damn, I'm loving the tone and the absolutely gorgeous melodies in this song! Great work man!
Thank you!
Haunting, stunning, soaring. You simply fly across the fretboard. I love this song. You are an amazing musician.
What an all out power-stud
Sir, I have become a big fan. Between this and your if pop had electric guitar, I can’t stop feeling inspired. Your arrangements are stellar. Never more then it needs, never less then to be considered amazing.
Thank you. 🙏🏼
You are different... Gifted... You will be an international famous artist one day💝💙
Pure beauty. Love it. Exceptional guitar skills and musical creativity. Thank you, Roy.
I watched 10 of your films and you are one of the best guitarists I've ever heard. Epic!!
Wow! I was not expecting to be so in love for this song. Amazing!!!
I love the tone , it’s beautiful
This man is the best guitarist that no one has ever heard about. His album Distant Visions is incredible. Melodic, memorable, emotional, technical, musical. A complete gem.
I always dig music which has good melodies. Nowadays there is not enough melodies in music. It is difficult to find good melodies. Thanks man for gifting us this beautiful song. Way to go!♥️
This is one of those best guitar solos, amazing vibe, amazing sense of melody along with perfection......
his picking style made me a fan of his tho years back
Roy I just love your playing man Fantastic !!!
Just discovered your music from tiktok and can't stop listening. What an amazing talent you have for emoting through the guitar. You are definitely in the class of the greats, like Ynvey Malmsteen.
Wow! Masterpiece, lovely chord progressions and excellent melody tracing over the top. Played with precision and feeling. Bravo 👏 keep up the awesome playing dude
Everything about this is amazing. The perfect note choice with an amazing single coil tone and playing that's a lot more than a mindless shred. Thank you for this.
This has been my summer Jam it has such a trip/adventure atmosphere it is just magic
Truly a beautiful song. Amazing job done on it. I look forward to seeing you go far!
you are my new guitar in my list....espectacular Roy...
Wow, actual melodic guitar playing!
You are absolutely justifying guitars and music man.....so much soul you put in while playing and presenting..
Amazing tune, amazing performance! A rare combination of virtuoso technique and musicality
The most favorite guitarist of mine... Always playing the best tone... 🥰🥰
That was just what i needed to hear thanks for playing
From all of your music, this is my favorite. Feels like I'm flying to somewhere high up in the clouds. Really love it, man!!! 🔥🔥🔥
this dude's underrated.
it's definitely the best song he wrote. im looking into his courses. Roy's melodies are awesome.
This piece of song is so magical.
Love the melodic style
Thank you for listening to my heart and prayers. You finally gave us full solo 😋👍
God bless!
beautiful chords and playing! i love it! keep it up!
Great work Roy! Some of the best phrasing I have heard recently.
Thanks
Beautiful melodies and modulations. And yeah, got to be on the short list of greatest shredders
I'm not here for declaring what to me could be the best gifted guitar player all around youtube. There'll always be someone who is greater at something. To me, considering sound, notes choice, touch and some other thing, you are the greatest! And... also I love your short format "producer vs guitar shredder". LOVE IT
Roy you are an enigma in music specifically guitar. I will pay to watch you strum that guitar, it’s therapeutical. God bless you. Love from Kenya 🇰🇪
Best guitar solo ever. I‘m in love with it

Really enjoyed this tune, very refreshing phrasing and vibe.
Loved the subtle Maqam influences in there just to touch base with your Israeli roots.
Great dexterity, melody, tone, and fluidity.

Composing at its finest 💯
Brilliant playing
