Thats been resonating with me for days.

I've been following Ayla's stuff for a couple of years, and every time I look a little closer at her playing, something new sticks with me

She is a very skilled person who is not only able to play the Guitar with total emotional connection to the music. She can also deliver crystal clear tutorials in either a graphic or oral fluency that belie her age. There are swathes of considerably older academic tutors (I have experienced many of them) who can't compare to her effortless and informative representational abilities. Keep rockin' Ayla. The world desperately a new musical revolution to carry it through the current depressing era..

Her fingers move so freely. I’m jealous. I’m 39 years old and just got back into playing the guitar and I hope that eventually my fingers will move freely like hers after much practice 🤞

I discovered this girl today morning and it just made me wanna learn more guitar. She’s so bubbly it makes me smile non stop ❤️

3:39 this kind of random tips are gold, you can totally forget the 5 positions of a scale when you learning but this kind of tricks keeps in your head always and they are so helpful

Ayla, I'm an old guy that has been playing for a long time. I just came out of a nearly 2 year hiatus without playing at all. I've been wanting to take my playing up a level or two to a long time. I've been watching very many instructional videos for quite some time but I've got to tell you, I got more out of this one video than I have from any I have watched in a very long time. You are absolutely amazing! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!

I'm pretty sure that was the first time I actually understood scales

It’s nice to see such a young person enjoying all these interval thinking and making the fretboard her play field It took me so many nights trying the instrument by myself (not even playing along to recorded music), trying to find out the “rules” of music... all those moments will die sooner or later. The tough that someone else probably half as old as me is exploring the same fields of the mind but in her own way makes me feel I’m not alone. I’m part of something greater.

Adding in the modes to the pentatonic makes is so simple. No one has ever shown it this way. Thank you so much. I love your upbeat positive attitude with a smile.

It made perfect sense to me ..... Thanks a million times ... I've watched thousands of videos on modes and it always discouraged me because they way most people explain it is very complicated ... and now for the first time I think I get it .

Love love listening to someone who is so articulate, and plays so well

Literally was about to search this video and it was on my feed, glad it did. This makes things clear af

She really should do more videos. I feel like she did a great job. She’s happy and explains things well. Her smile is infectious.

Well taught! Love this description of the modes and scales. Much clearer to me, now.

I have been playing lead guitar and your videos are teaching me new ways to explore the range of the guitar. thank you.

The challenge with lessons is making it have practical sense meaning it’s easily obtainable to use as a tool during real-time performance. The short of this is: hey guys this is a minor pentatonic scale. When starting the scale with your first finger on the root, it’s minor. Take the same scale and start it with your pinky finger on the root but shift the scale down so the pinky is the minor 3rd of the minor pentatonic scale. This is a major pentatonic. This way the only thing the student really needs to know is the first finger and pinky finger position on the root and major minor based on the finger used. My 2 cents.

That's a good approach for beginners but the intervals have changed between major & minor...and it's important to know where the chord tones lie in the scale so you know what to resolve to, etc.

@SketchEtcher

3 жыл бұрын

IMO the intervals don’t change between Major and Minor, not even between any of the modes. Examining the intervals is an academic exercise (and a very confusing one!). In my mind, Everything is WWH-WWWH. Minor scales are just the 6th (Aeolian) mode of Major scales-which means they have the same notes, and therefore necessarily...the same intervals. You just start/finish on a different note within the interval pattern.

@globalfatmas

This is a great lesson, it has helped me with the modes in a fresh way. Great playing!

One of the better tutorials I've seen on here. Explained in a very clear manner. More teachers should take your approach to explaining how music works. Very nice job thank you.

Lool... I'm Ghanaian and I cannot tell the American and Canadian accents apart. On a serious note though what's the difference.

Great lesson. I view the fretboard in a similar way. I have my "home base" scale patterns such as the major scale and the pentatonic minor, and then I view the other modes as extensions/variations of these scales. I like how she ties it all back to the pentatonic minor.

Thank You for sharing your Warmth, Energy,Enthusiasm and Passion for Music.

Hi Ayla, this video is one of the best explanations I've heard on using modes (making them practical) and I've been playing guitar 30 plus years. THANK YOU!

This video helped me greatly and that’s saying a lot because I had given up on KZread videos to help me understand music theory.

It made sense until it got confusing. At least I can fall back on my minor pentatonic. Seriously this should be a series.

This is by far one of the best videos to relate everything I've learnt so far. Thanks a lot!

I’ve had guitars over the years and never really learned that much, but am now inspired by my son and his friends that can play anything and are making music in my basement. Giving it another go and I don’t know how anyone could NOT learn from Ayla. She has the most unbelievable and soothing delivery, I will watch and follow her instructions gladly.

A great lesson from an obviously great guitarist! My favourite thing about this channel though, is the happy and positive vibe that is always present👌I do prefer Ayla's smile to Nate's tho... Just sayin. 🤘

I like the way to interpret the variants of scale, transitioning from the classic pentatonic minor scale which extends to mixolydian and then dorian scale. That is a progressive and smart way to improvise the music not reliant on the fixation to one specific scale but mesmerizing how invaluably we could reproduce the melody in a more vibrant manner.

Ive come across this video many times in my 2 years of playing guitar so far and when I first watched it I had no idea what was going on. Now I can see what she says so clearly once I somewhat learned the minor pentatonic scales.

I've learnt all of that as a kid and 15 years later I'm finally thinking I'd like to go back to music. Thanks for such a clear way of lighting up those old memories and for the relaxed, positive attitude. I'd definitely pick you as my teacher :D

Have to say I like your performance of " Since I've Been Loving You" even more that Page's, although what an amazing point of departure to work from.

I've just gotta say - I'm a 48yr old metalhead musician who picked the guitar back up after a roughly 20 year gap in playing. I've watched just about every damn "beginner" vid out there over the last year or two and Ayla is honestly the best teacher that I've come across on YT. I grew up singing and playing power chord metal, and developed very solid palm muting chugs along the way, but had never taken the time to learn my scales, or even proper chords outside of the basics. But now, thanks to Ayla's vids, I'm really starting to make real progress! This young lady has a way of explaining things that has resonated with me more than just about any teacher on this platform. So THANK YOU AYLA! Keep up the great work! I'm eternally grateful. 💯 🤘

Best lesson ever Ayla ! Thank you, you made it so simple, clear and sweet 🎶🙏😘

Such a great guitar tone.....makes “bad” notes sound good!

Lovely personality, clearly a great guitar player and an excellent teacher

Very well done video. It helps demystify the modes and provides the right perspective to think about them. Thank you!

Never heard of her but love her after this first vid. So pleasant, peaceful, positive (we all need positive vibes). Her approach is amazing. I learn much and I’m not a guitar player

"There are other great video online" This is literally the only one that I was actually looking for

I feel like you should be playing a jazz master. Great lesson. Rock that tritone.

i am so impressed! some may not understand yet put she opened the door to make one look at the intervals now as you connect the scales [ pentatonic] it will open new Ideas to your playing GREAT JOB !!!!!!

I just love how simple you make it...and like wow I'm making music !Thanks

The one thing I got on this, being a heavy natural minor player, when she did the slide up trick to pos two on the high three strings,seeing that is actually pentatonic and the root is second spot on b string. Thanks!

"Its all about flavors and colores" nice video, i apreciat you :>

Thanks Ayla. I always pick up little bits here and there. Thanks for sharing.

Nice little video. Moving in and out of the base pentatonic scale through modes. Really helpful

She hits the nail on the head with 'if it sounds good it sounds good'!

Great video! I'm sharing this with friends that are learning their pentatonics. A very well conceived executed lesson!

Ayla. You are a brilliant teacher. I am so grateful that I discovered this video. Also, you have a real cool energy. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 🙏

After all these days watching about modes she made me clear somehow now its making sense to me guys.dont know bout you guys but i watched lots of videos out there but this makes sense i guess differentiating modes side by side really helps to understand this part.. thank you ...

You're a great teacher. I wish I could make more use of this when playing (I'm pretty good, but not as good as you). Been trying to mess around in Locrian, to see if I can make something musical sounding to me out of it. Funny thing is, I don't play as well when I'm thinking about it. I'm happier with my playing if I'm thinking about other things when I'm playing, like how my job sucks, or how pretty a lady in the bar was last night, or whatever. People would be like "That was cool...play that again...", and I'd be like "I don't remember what I did...if you were watching, you probably know more about what I played than I do...". I can learn and remember other people's solos well enough, but I'd probably wouldn't have been a great band guitarist, cause I'd have to go back and figure out what I improvised on the record.

Simp Police: It's gonna be a good day.

Every video with her is awsome. She's one of my all time favorite teachers. Hope she is rich

Just beginning on guitar/music, so understood the pentatonic stuff. Got lost with the other scales, BUT you helped me see how important those other scales are and how they can relate/be used with the pentatonic. I have a feeling in the future this is going to be a game changer, and I will be back again as my knowledge and skills improve. Thanks for the awesome video.

“Because of your smile, you make music more beautiful.”

First time I heard her talk after knowing her for years

Great video explaining in depth the scales and how it enhances your playing. I’ve been playing by ear without fully understanding the scales and this step by step tutorial and explanation is fantastic. 👍🏼

A smile that calms all storms. Thanks for a great lesson!
