About Ayla Tesler-Mabe:
Ayla has been making waves in the world of guitar playing as a professional guitarist, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and composer, since the early age of 14. After only been playing for two years, her first KZread video (a rendition of John Mayall’s “Hideaway”) put her on the map and kickstarted her music career. She has since been featured in Rolling Stone magazine, become a member of the Ernie Ball and Fender family of artists, and earned various Berklee College of Music scholarships. Musically, Ayla finds great pleasure in exploring the numerous avenues available to her through various styles of music, as seen through her work with Calpurnia and Ludic.

    Hi, great lesson, thanks. quick question! It really looks like you are muting that D string (the G note) in the Eb9 at 1:45. Are you? Seems like you really only hit the top 3, sometimes 4, strings anyway -- so ... ?

    James Brown wasn’t really an instrumentalist. He was a fantastic, energetic dancer with a screamin’ voice, but not much for developing guitar chord voicings, so I give most cred to his geetar man

    I grew up in Southern CA in the '60's, listening to James Brown (along with all the other greats of that period). NEVER, in my wildest dreams, did I ever think that 50 years later, I'd have a white, teenage, girl, from Canada, explaining the technicalities of Mr. Brown's music. Life is FULL of surprises, isn't it?
