Don’t tell people they’re doing things wrong. You’re not qualified to know.

I'm a 74 year old beginner. Only learned about the pentatonic scales a couple months ago and have been practicing what you showed us in the beginning. I call myself old slow fingers. But one of the very first things I learned is that you can make real melodic sounds just by skipping around any of the scales. It impressed me so much that I believe what teachers say about scales being boring is b.s. I love doing scales, all of them. I began learning because I'm afraid that one of these days dementia may set in and after reading a piece on researchers who visited a nunnery found that some of the nuns who had alzheimers and dementia , showed no signs of it. They discovered that the nuns played scrabble, chess, and did crossword puzzles. I'll be practicing until my wife takes my guitar away from me.

Bravo! Where were you and KZread 40 years ago when I started playing the guitar? It was such an overwhelming task to try to learn the 5 different pentatonic shapes and then just remember where the root was when you played in a different key! Needless to say I never mastered it. This is genius to only learn 2 shapes. Thank you and keep the lessons coming, please!

I spend a lot of time floating about the minor pentatonic and blues scales and often get stuck playing the same thing over and over. This lesson has freed me and allowed me to use many more notes as well as adding a more fluid feel to my playing. Thank you so much! Just subscribed and looking forward to more, you are a truly fantastic teacher.

You're the nicest guitar instructor on KZread. You make learning guitar so relaxing. I'm a beginner and I'm practicing your pentatonic techniques. It has made learning so much more fun for me. Now when I practice it actually is starting to sound like music which is our ultimate goal like you've said. Thank you for keeping it simple and easy....

Honestly you are an excellent teacher. I've been playing a little over 10 years. I learned more from you, and your videos than from anyone else in my life. You speak so eloquently, and have a way of dumbing music theory down to where after over a decade I'm FINALLY getting it. Thank you soo much! You teach and play like an Angel!

She knows what beginner is struggling with. She teaches “The root of Practice”

Thanks for helping simplify and bringing down to one scale. I picked up the guitar at 53 and to be honest you have helped me push through problems better than any other person.

I started playing guitar at 16 and fast forward 30 yrs later, i’m still stuck with with very very little music theory and have tried my best to learn from all sources available. You are an excellent teacher coz you teach in such an easy to understand manner that’s non intimidating and it would encourage any amateur who’s trying to better themselves. Thank you, YOU DEFINITELY ROCK!!

You're a better teacher than a lotta older seasoned musicians trynna teach. Good job.

Thank you for this inspirational way to think about playing lead guitar! I am a 65 years young female that has been playing since I was 10.... transitioning from acoustic guitar to Tele. Its a difficult switch but your method of presenting these scales makes it so much more understandable and accessible! You are an amazing young lady and I wish you many wonderful years of music making!!! Many thanks!

So many teachers create information overload in their students. I think this is why many give up. You have a rare gift for keeping things simple and accessable. I'm always inspired to practice after watching your videos!

Your approach is very similar to the path I stumbled upon. Learn the pentatonic scale rooted on the E string. Then rooted on the A string. This makes the I, IV, V intervals simple to cover. Then learn the scale rooted on the D string. This lets you jump up an octave from your E string root to the D string root. Learning the pentatonic shape for G string gives you the IV and V for a D-rooted first. (I). I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else cover things in this manner, so you actually provided some reassurance that I’m on a useful path.

I've been playing for 39 years now ( I'm 51), and back in the day, when I was learning guitar, I taught myself alot of it by ear, had people show me stuff, and watched alot of videos (VHS, that is, if you can remember those lol). I don't know actually when I learned the name of the pentatonic scale, but that's mostly what I've been playing in for years and years. I absolutely LOVE the blues, and that's what I mostly play, unless the headbanger comes out in me lol. I watch these beginner videos to see if I missed something along the way, find a new way to play the scales, or learn new techniques. Thanks for KZread! Plus, I like the way you teach, break everything down, are calm, and take your time with it. Thanks Ayla, and Keep on ROCKIN' girl! ,🎼♥️🎸🤘😠🤘🎶

OK, I'm actually blown away. This makes so much more sense.

Thank you for taking your time to do this video , a year into lockdown learning this gives me real hope .

I've watched so many people try to explain pentatonic fretboard theory and nothing has helped much. At first I thought your idea was not going to work, but after watching the whole thing, I think this is going to be life changing! Thanks so much for the great lesson

What a truly pleasant person, and inspiring guitar teacher.

As a beginner that has been dabbling with pentatonic scales this approach is exactly what I needed to begin jamming or playing with other musicians. I would love to see a video on that topic. Thank you so much for sharing your insight!!

Such a pleasure to watch and learn from someone who clearly loves what they are doing , and in my estimation , eager to help music enthusiasts on they're journey too. Hats off to a gifted young lady, You have the "chillest " vibe on YT.

I've been working thru what you've shown in this video Ayla and I'm really finding it ingenious! It has really freed up my brain to jump from chord change to chord change. A big think you!

You are so amazing to listen to.. Thank you for simplifying your lessons so we, common mortals can also enjoy playing guitar!

These are some of my favorite guitar videos on the internet. Thanks so much for making them.

This is so easy to watch and understand, I always usually feel so intimidated by guitar scales and music theory but this really puts me at ease and I absorb it much much better thank you

I have seen so many videos on the subject and this is the only one that has done a good job of explaining this in a way i could actually understand. Thank you!

I've learnt more from you in half a dozen videos, than I have for years. Thankyou so much. 👍

I have been playing for a long time and have had several bands. I do have to say that the teachers back then Never taught like you do. I thinks teachers back then made students give up the guitar. At 14 I was listening to Jimi Hendrix (My Favorite) and actually learned to play guitar from listening to him and then figuring the song out. I still have my 1968 Strat and several other guitars. Again, don't stop what you are doing. You are a Great teacher, writer and a Great Performer! love your songs! You Are Truly Talented and Gifted!... Allan PS: give a holler if you are ever gigging in the New Jersey area!

Hi Ayla. I stopped in to see this lesson, while doing a search and wanted to leave a comment. I have been playing for a long time and I also teach the guitar. I have been around some GREAT guitarists, because I used to do some agent work and set up concert events through my company back then, for people like Muriel Anderson, Stephen Bennett, Richard Smith, etc........so some great guitarists. There is a trick to teaching guitar and you have that knack. I just wanted to say good luck and I think people will really benefit by watching you, INCLUDING ME. I am always practicing to stay in shape. I am pretty old school, playing my own songs, as well as covering classic rock artists.

Great lesson Ayla. You have a wonderful talent for teaching. Very clear and concise. Thanks for the video.

I respect what she’s saying, I’ve personally found just learning 3 note per string learning the major scale to be more eye opening. With that you also get all the modes related to the major scale, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, aeolian, Locrian, Ionian.

What a great lesson. I love the way you explained music theory in a nutshell. I love your advice on becoming proficient with a little bit and knowing it well. My approach to the Am Pentatonic scale is doing exactly what you just displayed. I am learning more techniques and I feel confident in my ability to solo. With Teachers like you on the internet I have been blessed with hard earned talent. It takes time and practice. How much effort and time have you put into your guitar skills?

What a beautiful person and helpful video! I've had this saved for a while and finally want to practice with purpose again. Keep it up!

Great lesson. Impressive how well you relate the concepts in an easy to follow way. AND, you really seem to enjoy teaching and learning!

Been doing exactly this for 20+ years and never been held back by it. Sometimes I throw in some 3 note modes but I only know a couple of positions for those as well. Surprisingly, it never really gets boring either. There’s always something to work on

Ayla you are inspiration for me, you are the reason I’m going to play guitar love ya keep going💗🎸

Broken down so well. Clean topics that build. Much appreciated.

Your best lesson yet. I started playing this along with a bit more of the blues scale to backing tracks and feel like it opened tons of doors. Thank you thank you thank you

I like the split screen of your picking and fretting hand.:)

I've done fender play, guitar tricks, Marty swartz, guitar sage, and some many other online teachers when I started learning to play guitar at the beginning of the pandemic. They are all great places to learn, mind you, but when I came across ayla and guitareo, everything just clicked. The way she explains it, her demonstrations, and how she filter what you could learn, should learn, and examples how she learned just really resonates for me. I definitely found my online guitar home teachers with her and guitareo.

So easy to watch, listen to and learn. Always struggled with scales and just stuck to basic tablature because all the books I bought were so full of technical jargon it was off putting. This young lady makes sense and shows how to play it. I went to a guitar teacher years ago and he was frustrated with the tutorial books because he said as well that they weren't easy to comprehend

Thank you, this is a terrific approach to learning these Pentatonic Scale positions 🙏🏾🙏🏻👍🏽👍🏻❗

If you haven’t already, watch her cover of “since I’ve been loving you” she’s a true prodigy

Brilliant. Very inspiring. Thank you.

I totally agree. The first scale that I learned on guitar was the pentatonic scale and I approached exactly the same way. It's excellent advice for beginners and if you can find blues backing tracks in different keys, that's the fastest way to learn how to improvise and grow. Very nice lesson.

Ayla is as they say "TOTALLY AWESOME" in her ability to teach, In watching her numerous videos it has opened this 65yr old eyes to new ways to play the guitar with her easy to understand examples. I never get overloaded with new concepts that she demonstrates in her videos. Rock on Ayla.....!!!!!

She is both a nuanced musician and an effective teacher. Guitareo has produced this well to be a good hang in a cool bedroom with a person who lives in a healthy zone. These are great videos and she's so wonderful and weirdly Canadian and cool. I really hope she gets to make all the music she's tapping in to. A positive vibe on a conflicted planet. Go forth, ATM! Kids have it so good these days with videos like this, this will help the planet one note and space at a time. Keep on keepin on.

All of Ayla's lessons are really a big help, thank you very much. I wish i could understand and feel music like she does, but i learned a lot watching ! Awesome guitar player with a awesome soul, and my god how does it feel in her guitar play.

I have been trying to understand the pentatonic scale for ages I have watched endless videos but they just blagged my head,This made it a lot simpler to understand thank you very much

Nicely Done! Makes total sense! Great Lesson!

Good lesson. I learned the five pentatonic shapes a few decades ago but funny enough the two shapes you talk about here (including the extension on shape 1) are the two that I gravitate to and use the most. There's something about them individually and together that allows melodies and lines to just come out very naturally. More so than the other three shapes for some reason, at least for me. And as you point out, those two together allow you to cover the fingerboard.

You are the Greatest Guitar Hacker ever!!
