Same. She's so relaxed and makes me laugh. You can tell she really loves what she's doing.

Ayla has the most perfect combination of kind and cool mixed in with awkward, yet on-point humor that makes her so relatable and easy to follow. I love her videos and have learned a great deal from her.

Thanks Ayla. I have been playing for 57 years. Grew up outside Detroit, The ROCK and ROLL Capital. I have lived outside Nashville for the last 32 years. I have seen JIMI 6 times. Led Z. 8 times Jethro Tull, ect, ect. I have spent my life always with a guitar close by. Following the greats and supporting them. I have been very blessed to have had the privilege to witness the greatest years of Rock and Soul. I know this era is important to you and I want to thank you for keeping it alive in your own way. I also want to thank the YOU-TUBE Guitar community. There are a lot of hard working young people out there. Its a Wonderful thing that the Guitar is still KING

Based on who you have seen in the past, I’m curious on your perspective of Band-Maid. Watch Domination live video for an introduction. Many Zep fans, including myself, are loving this highly unlikely band for carrying the hard rock torch.

Knows some open cords , scales & modes but don’t know how to connect it

Well, according to this I'm already beyond beginner, but Ayla just explains things so damn good, clearly, with enough detail not to oversimplify it but not so much that it gets boring to a beginner. One of the best channels for people who are starting out.

I wish i had a guitar instructor like you back in 1973 when I was 13 and first picked one up. I wouldn't be re-learning it now as a 61 year old. Your teaching style makes it easy for students to understand and clear on what we should practice. I really appreciate these videos. Thank you for making them and sharing your knowledge.

Today's lesson i already unstuck myself....THANK YOU for helping me out of the mud and get interested again!

Very clear lesson every beginner should watch this top teacher thanks.

You teach guitar in a way that doesn't oppress beginners..that is what most online teachers have to learn from you. Thanks a lot Ayla!

I’m still very new, 3 weeks in, but one thing I’ve noticed with the basic chords was I practiced transitioning through them in the same order I learned them. It became easier and I thought I had them down. That was until I picked up songs that required different chord progressions. So I learned them D-A-E… then I get a song that’s A-E-D. So going back and working on chords in different orders is helping me right now.

I love it, I have been playing guitar for a while but I was trying to remember some theory I forgot. She’s a great guitar player but also has a natural talent for teaching. She’s funny too love her sense of humor and the jokes.

Ayla I love your videos. My only criticism is that they are so inspiring that I can't finish one. Before the video is over I am running for my guitar to start practicing! You are a godsend. Thank you ❤️

I.love.this ☀️🎸

I know right

First off, I congratulate you on your tutorials. Really well done! As a guitar teacher myself and a professional musician for over 50 years, I really enjoy your presentation, content, and execution. Secondly, I’ve always felt that bringing up the CAGED system and Cycle of Fifths, etc., actually scares people. It can be confusing, even though the information is not really difficult in itself. The way you use CAGED as a practice and basic learning tool makes sense to me and I’m gonna steal it! Thirdly, I think the major pentatonic scale (and the major scale, in general) gets much less attention than it should. After all, the diatonic major scale is the building block of Western Music, and the major pentatonic scale is the skeleton of it. My friend Justin, a Phd in classical composition, says the greatest scale of all is the minor pentatonic because it sounds good with anything! And, its skeleton is really the shape of both minor AND major pentatonics. Keep up the good work; you’ll have many, many followers in short order.

Your teaching is really easy to understand😀　You are a goddess to me as a beginner of the guitar🙏Thank you so much Ayla!

You're so welcome!

I have to say that of all the guitar teachers out there, your method and manner are so approachable and make it easy to understand. I think you made a great point about reciting the intervals as you play. The reason for that is once you know the patterns and relationships (i.e., the location of the 4 relative to the root was a big aha moment for me), it truly makes it easier to navigate. Once you know those intervals and you know how the scales and modes are really subtle variations of the major scale, man... all I can say is this: it's 160 miles to Chicago. We have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes; it's dark; and we're wearing sunglasses. HIT IT! I think the first thing I ever saw. was the cover of "since I've been Loving You," and I knew right there that you were a great player. I'm so grateful you share your knowledge and talent!

I played an ukulele but after watching this, you gave me an idea of not hold on one instrument. You inspired me to play a guitar. Thank you.

hey! i went from Uke to guitar too! i found the uke (concert size) gave me carpal issues (pain!) from the too-small neck....now I got the guitar in my hands all the time and only touch the uke once inna blue moon.

your explanation of the pentatonic scale excouraged me to order a guitar at 62 years young as a youth I could never stick with it never made it pass my first blister We have the same taste in music .all good have you ever head wishbone ash ?

I love how you speak and pronunciate your words! And how you teach so simply, clearly and effectively. Thank you!!! You are a such a joy to listen to.

Good stuff! Love the vids! What helped me the most was playing to a metronome. You hear it time and again but within a few days the timing and confidence that comes with it were obvious.

Ayla is an amazing teacher!

Im just getting back into playing the guitar. I have been watching different pros on youtube and learning a lot. Nobody has given me more inspiration than you. You express yourself in a way that keeps me coming back. Your knowledge and enthusiasm, along with technique has made it clear to me that in my opinion you are the best guitar teacher on youtube. Love your style, and i too am a big Hendrix fan. Oh, and also you are absolutely gorgeous. Ok, im done got to practice my scales... In all seriousness... Keep motivating us cause i am a big fan of yours.... God Bless

I just gave like without even watch the whole thing. Just love your personality and smile. Make a better world. Tks

You have such a great approach to understanding the guitar. I remember using the old Mel Bay books when I started. They were boring. You are encouraging.

You are enjoyable to watch. You make me rethink what I already know. It always surprises me how well you can play.

I've been playing for 28 years and mostly self-taught. It's time to upgrade my skills. I am very glad I found your clear, strong, inclusive instruction. You are an excellent teacher, and a lovely lady. Subscribed. Thank you!

So glad I found your channel!! You’re an amazing player and great teacher!!

Very helpful tips .I have experienced these and even improved my playing by these pantatonics scales . 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👌👌👌👌

I learned new things today that will really help. Thank you Ayla!

You are so nice, and smiley. Makes learning comfortable. Thanks for the tips.

Ever since she's showed us the pentatonic scales, I've been looking them all up and practicing them. I've discovered if you stay within the notes inside the scales, you can create lots of cool little tunes.

But thanks to your video I think I have a solid daily practice routine now from where I can evolve better than before appreciate you a lot !

Hi, great video. A few months back I saw you do a pentatonic scale video and as a beginner that indeed opens everything up. So thank you.

Thanks a lot!! I've been learning to play intuitively for years and i was caught up in a plateau until i come accross this awesome presentation..You're a very goood teacher..keep it up..

Thank you , I’m learning the notes on the neck, your a great teacher

I am very impress the way you teach, I learned a lot lately that I'm thankful for that. Thanks the Universe I found you...will spread the word. ;)

Ayla, you are such an amazing teacher and player, thank you sooo much….you also have a very “Jimi-esc” persona that I like very much. Highest positive vibes to you!

You are awesome! Congrats!

I taught my self the root notes on the E and A strings very early in my chord learning process because of neccessity. I was struggling with the open C chord so I used a bar instead. That opened up the fret board because I then had every note in only two bar fingering shapes. Trick was understanding and locking in this fundamental A_BC_D_EF_G (_ means a fret between natural notes) I mapped G and A on the E string and C and D on the A string because these fall on the dot frets... so easy to remember. Then using the fundamental, one can find any note/chord including sharps and flats when indicated. Hope that helps another learner.

God bless you!!! You are inspirational

I like your channel. I've been taking guitar lessons for 7 years now and still have much to learn.

You are very skilled at explaining, teaching. I have given lessons, but lack your patience. I love your gold gaurd strat!

A beautiful personality reflects through how you speak and explain 😍❤️

As a less than one month beginner I have been working on the A minor pentatonic and I am seeing a number of patterns for mostly natural notes and where one note is in relation to another both up and down the neck as well as up and down the strings....B and C are right next to each other on fretboard....same with E and F, A+3 frets is a C, E+ 3 frets is a G, all other natural notes are just 2 frets away from each other. D is always above G, A is always above D, etc except when the #2(B string) is involved and then it shifts up the neck, G is above(Higher string number) and catty-corner to a C unless B string is involved for the C......and a number of others. So if I know which note I am pressing down on, I have a good frame of reference for a number of notes around that fret location. Still a work in progress for me.

You’re like one of the very best teachers on KZread I like that these aren’t so fast that I have to hit pause

Your awesome i like the way you explain things nice and simple.👌

Awesome teacher 👍👍❤

I really really appreciate it much. Am kind a slow learner. But once I learn it I do not forget it. Again am a slow learn. So thank you for this free lesson

Learning barre chords helped me figure out songs so much easier than open chords. It allows you to see and hear intervals so much easier.

the greatest part of you videos is that they are easy to understand and interactive. i'm sure that you've had dozens of people pulling out their guitars out from under the bed and dusting them off to have another go at playing again.
