Young lady you are an exceptionally good guitar teacher. Simple is always easier and you make things sound a lot less complicated. I've been playing, (trying to play😂) since I was 7 years old. I learn something from almost everyone I watch play guitar, but you are the easiest to understand that I have encountered. Excellent job! Keep'em coming!
i know all of this and still sat here for 18 minutes quietly and couldnt take my eyes off the screen, how can anyone dislike this person? i wish i had a teacher like this i would play for 8 hours a day :D
@@dannyspitzer1267 haha, i am a beginner on guitar and bass still but i play 2 hours per day and trying to learn as much as possible so during covid no option for a teacher so online has to do, but this lady has such a personality and charisma i could watch her for days regardless of topic
Coming back to playing guitar after a long hiatus and ran into this. You rule. Calm, clear, collected, and efficient lesson. Not muddled with trying to show off. Very self confident, humble and knowledgeable. Great job and thank you.
I am 61 and just bought my 1st guitar, an acoustic electric. I do not know the first thing about playing, but you explain things in a way I can understand.
The best way to start learning is to select a favorite simple song a Folk, Country, with just 3 Major Chordss like C, D, G.. then strum "down down" and sing along.
I had two teachers who demanded I know every note on every string. One wouldn't even go any further with lessons till I could pass this test. I believe it really helped to open up the fretboard. Helped me understand the major scale and how chords are made and their relation to scales.
i used to play keyboard then piano and then i started on guitar, it's like i have all the basics and note values and some music theory already there but the guitar really confused me at first and it was off putting where you strum a chord and it didn't ring right or a solo part wasn't smooth and more picky, but looking back i think im getting better and starting to get the gist of it. i feel it's safe to say guitar is harder at the beginning but gets easier as you go.
Lady Thanks. You are a true genius without going do expensive lessons to play Worship music in Church. You gave me all I need to understand . I'm playing 40 years folk music and turn to Worship music in Church now on age 60 ❤
Ayla, you are not only a talented guitarist, you are also a talented teacher. Too often, teachers go too fast, assume too much, and/or they use their teaching time to show off more than teach. You, on the other hand, are a warm and personable teacher, whose sincerity is as clear as the notes you play. This was a great video for beginners AND for people who needed a good introduction to the keyboard no matter how many years they may have been playing. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience with us. Kindly do some more of these videos for us. Thanks!
I just watched this video ... Thank you, you opened up something for me I was troubling over. Being 63 and trying to learn guitar is more of a challenge than I had thought.
Been playing 40 yrs. Learned during the 80's the Decade of the Guitarist in my humble Opinion . I'm self taught and I was able to learn something New for me from this . Thank You very well done !!
It's a wild thing about guitar how you can muck about on it for 10 years and someone like Ayla shows a pattern / association you hadn't seen up to that point and you go "I *never* made that connection before..." Happens more than I care to admit... Thanks for the new insights !
Happened to me but in drumming. After years of playing the drums I stumbled upon a Jojo Mayer instructional video and I was like 🤯. 😂😂 I realized that all this time I had been trying to reinvent the wheel. 🤦♂️
A lot of tutorials started with cool licks or shreads showboating the tutors' skills. Her opening just straight to the point, the content is straight to the point and with clear instructions. Learning so much from her videos.
LEARN 👏 ROOT 👏 NOTES 👏 At least for me, they were the key to it all. Root notes anchored everything for me and lessons that were very abstract and hard to wrap my head around before, made sense immediately.
@@TimlegoStudios ehm, i could be slightly inaccurate, but i'm pretty sure its the most dominant note that forms it into a chord, if that makes sense? It's basically the starting ground for a chord. from my little lack of piano knowledge, a C chord for example would be *C* E G, moving up, and then you'd just get rid of E and G, and have the root note of C left.
Ive learned more in this video than I’ve learned in 10 years and thats the truth she’s amazing how she teaches and I don’t even play guitar anymore I’ve switch to the keyboards just couldn’t get the hang of the guitar wish I would have found her earlier in my life great tutorial.
I heard her voice for literally a minute and I already fell in love😅 to be honest I wasn’t even paying attention to the lesson, I was just mesmerized by her vibe and couldn’t stop watching lol.
Love love love her. Keep her around. Wish I had her when I was younger and first learning . She makes it easy to understand and non-intimidating. Cuts through the bs. Also fun to watch cause of her uniqueness and personality. Sweet guitar💚
I've been playing for 15 years and never had a lesson. Recently realized I never learned any basics so I built my skills off of a crumbling foundation. Y'all it's so crucial to get this right, this video makes it so clear. Great job.
Thanks, Ayla! I’ve literally been trying to learn guitar for over ten years, and I haven’t learned a single song, although I’ve tried. There’s something about your patience, friendliness, and approach to teaching, that really helps me to grasp the concepts. I feel like I’ve learned more from you in a day than I have in years, from anyone else
Ayla’s teaching method is exceptional ‘cause it unlocks the hurdles many beginners face when they are caught up in a rut. I personally recommend to beginners to learn from the experience of this brilliant young lady. Bravo Ayla.
I've been playing guitar for almost 20 years now and have been wanting to expand my knowledge and learn more about the fretboard (I am self-taught, but want to KNOW more by learning, being taught the "proper" way) and the way you just explained how to remember the name of each string AND how the open E moves to F on the first fret and then continuing on down felt like a massive flood being released from my mind! All the confusion and frustration I've felt for SO LONG has finally eased! And it's because of you!!! Thank you so much for sharing this! Thank you for your help! You made playing the guitar fun for me again!! Bless your heart!! ☺👏🙏
Ok, I know I'm not the best guitar student, always focused on shapes and tabs rather than musical concepts, but this is the first time that I've actually understood what intervals are all about. You made me cry, Ayla, you wonderful teacher you :')
Best video I've seen on this topic so far. My 1st guitar hopefully arrives on Tuesday so I'm doing some research as an absolute beginner beforehand. I already understand intervals, building chords and scales from playing piano but couldn't quite grasp how to translate that knowledge onto the guitar. This video is so clear and well presented. It answers all of the nooby questions I've had in a few minutes! - Love your guitar by the way! Thanks for the help
I've been playing since I was 12 I'm now 38 and still enjoy watching guitar lesson type videos I know all of what she taught and she did a great job explaining. The reason I still watch guitar lesson videos is you may suprise yourself and find a new trick or approach you may have missed when first learning or though had no importance to you when first attempting the guitar. Learning how to play never ends, their is so many different styles and techniques it could take a lifetime to learn and master, but as long as you are having fun and expanding your ability you are on the right path. Props to her showing this lesson I always tell people that are first learning learn the notes and it will open highways of possibilities in the future when playing and jamming with others.
Excellent lesson and excellent way of teaching. Some other youtube teachers seem to hold information, unfortunately. Not the case here, I just learned a few new things about navigating the fretboard. Will watch all her videos now
Hi Ayla Thank you for your insightful instructions. I like the way you stand out from other numerous teachers on RUclips, with your own take and style of teaching. Please remain true to yourself and keep the videos coming. Thank you 👍🏼👌👏
This is such an awesome lesson. I am super thankful for finding this gem you created. I have been studying music theory using the keyboard for about a year now, and decided to investigate the guitar. This was so helpful in instantly relating what I have learned so far on the keyboard to the fretboard. I can totally see the keyboard laid out on the fretboard after this. One other thing I found very helpful was discovering that, in addition to knowing that each string progresses up the fretboard chromatically, it also generally follows the circle of fifths moving up and down on a fret, except for that pesky transition between the G and B string, lol. Thanks again.
Your explanation has been the most clear one I have come across. I play piano and was struggling to make sense of guitar, but now it's extremely well cleared in my mind. Thank you.
This is one of the most helpful and informative videos I've found in my quest to transition from a beginner guitarist to an intermediate guitarist. Thanks Ayla and Guitareo!
I took guitar lessons in college. I'd been in band throughout school, even achieved national honors on my instrument. Loved music, loved learning new instruments, could play several, including percussion. But I always wanted to play guitar. So in college, we were in a class of about 20 people with a teacher who obviously was there simply doing his job. There was nothing of him in the sound he produced. I don't think I ever saw him smile or respond to what he played. Oh, he showed us how to play chords and notes, but he never explained any of what you shared. You made things more clear in the first five minutes than he did in an entire semester. THANK YOU. I'm 50 years old now and am trying again.
The best lesson I've had to understand the fretboard and learn scale shapes. Thank you Ayla. You're an excellent teacher.. and everything is said with a smile on your face.. 😊🙏
yes by far one of the best teacher, I am someone who plays, the keys, drums and also engineer sound, this guitar lesson gave me a new hope. Thank you so much.
Well you are a breath of fresh air as guitar teachers go! I think you could teach anyone to play guitar even if they have a tin ear. You are able to transmit your knowledge to others in an understandable way. Not all guitar teachers know how to do that. I'll go as far as to say most don't know how. I've played for 60 years but you taught me about Intervals. Never considered them before. I'll recommend you to anyone wanting to start out right on the guitar.
I'll be honest, you lost me at the intervals. Learning what the little dots are on the fretboard? Super fun! I can do that no problem. I'm basically a pro at finding dots. Learning about the notes and how they move up the fretboard? Ok, not bad, just take it slow so I can find them. Hop-skipping into intervals and talking about changing chords between keys? Sounded like this to me: "Ok, guys, so this is called a spoon, and with the spoon you can stir the flour and eggs we learned about earlier. Now, if you know how to stir the eggs, you'll find it easy to transmogrify the nebular catechism by flambéing the encroaching onomatopoeia. Awesome! You're a pro."
I was today years old when I learned the note is called a sharp when your going up the scale, and a flat when you're moving down. And I've only been playing for the last 48 years. SMH>
Ayla, you are such a welcome addition to the guitar teaching world. There’s a revolution of sorts with all sorts of women rocking out and making those electrics sing, and I’m one of many enjoying and feeling energized by the parade. Keep up the posts and warm smiles. ROCK ON! 👍
the fretboard is literally just a piano except the black keys are white too. You just have to know where the black keys are. Each string is a section of piano keys. They overlap a ton. Each string only has like 4 or so piano keys that's not on the string above it. The treble clef (the thing notes are written on in sheet music) can be played entirely with the first 4 frets of all the strings. If you go up each open string to the fourth fret, then to the next open string, you are playing a chromatic scale. Which is the same as just playing up every fret on a string. Try it, go up every fret on the 6th string, then do 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, switch to 5th string, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. It's very easy to understand, once you know what's going on
Hey Ayla, thanks! I've been playing open chords on the acoustic guitar with strumming and finger-picking for over 25 years now (I taught myself from a beginner's book in the days before youtube), but work and family kept me from progressing beyond that. Now I've decided that I need to spend some time learning new skills on the guitar. Though I have a solid foundation in music theory, I realized that I need to learn to navigate the fretboard in order to apply what I know to my playing. I think you do a good job of explaining these basics in a way that is easily understood. There is so much material out there, that it is hard to seperate the wheat from the chaff. Plus lot of other sites/youtubers don't do as good a job at simplifying things. Your video helped me figure out why knowing my scales and root notes is essential for moving around on the fretboard. So, thanks again, and keep up the good work!
You are the coolest teacher lady... I love how you explain things and your approach... Thank you so much I am going to show my seven-year-old friend.. your videos.. she will be inspired!!! Thank you so much
I’m 55 years old and I’ve been trying to play for 30 years If I had your videos 30 years ago I would be a super star Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
literally i know everything u said in the video. but for the first time i saw some video till end without increasing playback speed. u r just a melting ice cream, ur way to teaching, smiling just stolen heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
well explained video although when going through scales no need to go so quickly through; not everyone learns that fast- I’ve found this to be common among all teachers going through this
Thank you so much for the breakdown, picking up a guitar and trying to learn from the beginning is like trying to understand Latin for me. You breaking it down and teaching in your method has trying helped me
Ayla your teaching style is amazing. You clarified so many of my doubts in such a short time. Most of your tips are so practical. It seems these are coming from your experiences. Thank you and share more video.
I know nothing about a guitar except I love the music that it puts out! I would like to thank you for making it simple!Thanks, thanks and thank you again!
Burt Weedon's Play In A Day was all we had 50 years ago, or pay a small fortune for pro lessons. Students are very fortunate today having so many great teachers for free.
I have watched a ton of guitar videos online. You are and excellent communicator and make things very easy to understand and apply. Thanks so much for making these videos. You are a natural born teacher.
We hope you enjoy this lesson and that it helps you understand the guitar fretboard a little more! 🙂
Hii hope you could teach us also on how to break the pentatonic scale sounds and definition of the time signatures. Thank you!
Young lady you are an exceptionally good guitar teacher. Simple is always easier and you make things sound a lot less complicated. I've been playing, (trying to play😂) since I was 7 years old.

Incredible time to be a beginner. I had nothing except what I could pick up from listening to records. Eventually I got a chord dictionary.

I'm so new when i ordered a guitar book thru Amazon, they sent me two. 😂😂
Where do you get your background a minor track from?
Exactly. I am from the pre-PC & pre-Internet / RUclips era.
I have been playing guitar for about 24 years, you have just managed to make me understand notes and scales for the first time 🤯
Just what I needed since I'm about to try to learn the guitar for the 3rd time.
Wish me luck. 😁
Good luck, you can do it!! Third time's the charm 😁
The best way to start learning is to select a favorite simple song a Folk, Country, with just 3 Major Chordss like C, D, G.. then strum "down down" and sing along.
@@WorldEngineersOnline I started on back in black and i got super good in a couple weeks
updatre?
I had two teachers who demanded I know every note on every string. One wouldn't even go any further with lessons till I could pass this test. I believe it really helped to open up the fretboard. Helped me understand the major scale and how chords are made and their relation to scales.

Sounded like this to me: "Ok, guys, so this is called a spoon, and with the spoon you can stir the flour and eggs we learned about earlier. Now, if you know how to stir the eggs, you'll find it easy to transmogrify the nebular catechism by flambéing the encroaching onomatopoeia. Awesome! You're a pro."
Been playing guitar for 6 years and still found this helpful. Great video!
I was today years old when I learned the note is called a sharp when your going up the scale, and a flat when you're moving down. And I've only been playing for the last 48 years. SMH>
Wonderful video. I learned in 18 min so many things I needed to know20 years ago!!! Excellent!
I’ve played guitar almost 20 years now. And still don’t know any of this lol.
Ayla, you are such a welcome addition to the guitar teaching world. There’s a revolution of sorts with all sorts of women rocking out and making those electrics sing, and I’m one of many enjoying and feeling energized by the parade. Keep up the posts and warm smiles. ROCK ON! 👍
You’re the most helpful person I ever seen trying to teach me guitar
the fretboard is literally just a piano except the black keys are white too. You just have to know where the black keys are. Each string is a section of piano keys. They overlap a ton. Each string only has like 4 or so piano keys that's not on the string above it. The treble clef (the thing notes are written on in sheet music) can be played entirely with the first 4 frets of all the strings. If you go up each open string to the fourth fret, then to the next open string, you are playing a chromatic scale. Which is the same as just playing up every fret on a string. Try it, go up every fret on the 6th string, then do 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, switch to 5th string, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. It's very easy to understand, once you know what's going on
Hey Ayla, thanks! I've been playing open chords on the acoustic guitar with strumming and finger-picking for over 25 years now (I taught myself from a beginner's book in the days before youtube), but work and family kept me from progressing beyond that. Now I've decided that I need to spend some time learning new skills on the guitar. Though I have a solid foundation in music theory, I realized that I need to learn to navigate the fretboard in order to apply what I know to my playing.
I think you do a good job of explaining these basics in a way that is easily understood. There is so much material out there, that it is hard to seperate the wheat from the chaff. Plus lot of other sites/youtubers don't do as good a job at simplifying things. Your video helped me figure out why knowing my scales and root notes is essential for moving around on the fretboard. So, thanks again, and keep up the good work!
wow, you don´t know how much I needed this video to demystify the fretboard. thank you so much! This was the best explanation I´ve ever seen
I never understood the terminology in a lot of tutorials and while I will have to memorize this, this is the first thing that ever made sense. SO GOOD
You are the coolest teacher lady... I love how you explain things and your approach... Thank you so much I am going to show my seven-year-old friend.. your videos.. she will be inspired!!! Thank you so much
I’m 55 years old and I’ve been trying to play for 30 years
If I had your videos 30 years ago I would be a super star
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
One of the best videos... I'm a self-taught guitar Player....You cleared lot of my doubts... Love'from India 🇮🇳...🙏🙏🙏...
literally i know everything u said in the video.
but for the first time i saw some video till end without increasing playback speed.
u r just a melting ice cream, ur way to teaching, smiling just stolen heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
well explained video although when going through scales no need to go so quickly through; not everyone learns that fast- I’ve found this to be common among all teachers going through this
Thank you so much for the breakdown, picking up a guitar and trying to learn from the beginning is like trying to understand Latin for me. You breaking it down and teaching in your method has trying helped me
Ayla your teaching style is amazing. You clarified so many of my doubts in such a short time. Most of your tips are so practical. It seems these are coming from your experiences. Thank you and share more video.
I know nothing about a guitar except I love the music that it puts out! I would like to thank you for making it simple!Thanks, thanks and thank you again!
Has the Power to Hold one's attention with out being aggressive or pushy.. Very very Talented..
I'm new and you're honestly the easiest to follow thank you so much I got both scales down cause of you
if anyone out there is new to guitar, this would be one of the most helpful vids to start w
I have been searching for ages for a good video as a complete beginner, I literally know nothing about making music, but this video is perfect.
Burt Weedon's Play In A Day was all we had 50 years ago, or pay a small fortune for pro lessons. Students are very fortunate today having so many great teachers for free.
I have watched a ton of guitar videos online. You are and excellent communicator and make things very easy to understand and apply. Thanks so much for making these videos. You are a natural born teacher.
one of the best teachers I have ever come across. God bless
Chords and scales look the same in every key! Boom mind blown. That just made things make so much more sense. Thank you
I've watched this video several times now over the past week or so and just finally caught on to the E-String vs A-String patterns. Light bulb moment!
Ive watched alot of SPJ, BP, PD, AM, MM and other channels and you explained things so nicely. Thank you.
She explained it better than anyone I've seen bbn on RUclips so far. Well done!
