We have proposed in previous papers that the high-frequency pair of quasi-periodic oscillations observed in black-hole binaries with a frequency ratio of 3:2 are inertial-acoustic oscillations (nearly horizontal oscillations with no node in the vertical direction) or g-mode oscillations, which are resonantly excited on warped relativistic disks. The resonance occurs through horizontal motions. In this model, the dimensionless spin parameter, a_*, of the central sources can be estimated when their masses are known from other observations. This estimate is done for three sources (GRO J1665-40, XTE J1550-564, GRS 1915+105). For all of them, we have a_*<=0.45.
