- It’s hard to name a more influential rock band than The Beatles. They released over 200 songs between 1962 and 1970 that continue to inspire guitarists and songwriters even a half-century later. Since it’s quite literally impossible to nail down their “best” riffs, Ayla Tesler-Mabe is here to share her six favorite guitar riffs by The Beatles.

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 RUclips 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.

The best compliment I can give Ayla is that, if I had a daughter, I'd be delighted if she took Ayla as a role model.
Fuck ,she's my role model, but mostly, she doesn't get her likes from wearing a bikini.
Well said.
Kinda weird russ.
Why?
The warning from Mexico are the best role models too, just as Alyla, educated well mannered, humble, and world class musicians/ song writers, those 3 sisters from Mexico will be huge in rock
Great job and good selections. It warms my 66 year old heart to see a talented person from your generation appreciate the genius and vibes of The Beatles like I do. Keep up the good work!
P.S. Ayla.... you are obviously very much detail-oriented and I LOVE IT. I learn so much from you. Because I see how you attend to details, I want to share with you one little error that I hope you take with the good intention that I have here. This is not meant to be mean, critical, or nasty. It is just a correction for you. The Gretsch guitar that you referred to is the Tennessean which you pronounced as Tennyson, like the author. Just pronounce it like the state of Tennessee and add the "an". Again, I only share this as one Beatles fanatic to another, not as a criticism or putdown. You are amazing. Keep up the great playing and explaining. We learn so much from you!
Ayla is a monster player! And couldn't have chosen better riffs!
Hey Ayla, I just wanted to say I found your Hendrix video in my feed a few months ago and subbed and then I stumbled upon this! I adore the Beatles… I have high functioning autism and something about the Beatles speaks to my soul! Thank you!
I’ve seen thousands upon thousands of guitar videos like yours and I don’t normally comment much but I love absolutely love your tone. It sounded good on my phone so I can’t wait to get some headphones on here and listen to you. You definitely got an instant ad just for having such a pleasant and memorable tone!! Thanks!
I've been listening to the Beatles material for +50 years and enjoy virtually everything they ever recorded - so I thought it was funny when the other day I discovered a new appreciation for the opening riff for She Said She Said. It almost seemed like I've never heard it before. It sounds so simple and yet it sounds so fantastic. I recall reading that the Beatles spent more time working on how to come up with the right opening and closing to their songs than they did with the actual song itself. As Ayla said, there's so much good stuff to pick from.
Me too !!!! An obscure hidden gem !!!
Opening riff to I've Got a Feeling
Me:
AAARRRGGGGGHHHH!!! Will I ever get it down without muting that G string???
Ayla continues to shine on this channel. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s headed towards writing for Guitar Player or one of its many competitors. She’s a winner.
I love Hey Bulldog. Always thought it was over looked & under-appreciated. I didn't know George played all the guitar - but it makes sense, John on piano, paul-bass, ringo drums, george- guitar(s). I too believe/think that the start of the song is a wonderful little hammer on. Thank You Ayla. Keep up the good work, and making of these sensational videos. Would you ever consider teaching 1 on 1 ? Happy New Year to you too.
Paperback Writers' basic rhythm track was :
John - rhythm Gretsch 6120 (used once and given away)
Paul - lead Epiphone Casino
George - Burn's short scale bass.
Overdubs the next day we're George doing rhythmic fills and Paul adding the bass with his Rickenbacker 4001s.
* 2005 Guitar Player magazine interview with Paul, 1972 Hit Parader with John. George played a lot of bass when laying down rhythm tracks, he continued doing the same on his own records.
very calming video, good guitar playing/teaching, too!
Another Gr8 lesson .. Classic Riffs & so many memories . & Happy new Year ..
Was fortunate to see them in '66 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis and 'Paperback Writer' (which they of course played) was my favorite at the time...
Your smile is contagious!!
Love the vids. Keep it up.
All the Beatles riffs are great. That is part of the reason why they the greatest of all time
I thoroughly enjoyed that. Nicely chosen, perfectly played and explained. However, now that you've opened the door you have to go through it, I'd love to see you do another couple of videos on Beatles guitar riffs. Let's face it there's no shortage of material. So looking forward to the next instalment.
Really well done, but I have to chime in on Paperback Writer; Paul actually states, when I saw him live early 2000s, while holding his Epiphone Casino, that he played the main lick on that very guitar. It is a less distorted sound than you had, but you played it excellently.
Terrific lesson Ayla! You made great choices of riffs and your explanations were very well done. It really appreciate you patient and fun teaching style.
I love your pleasant personality. Thanks for the video, I’m going to try some of these.
We used to try to learn the Beatle songs as they came out. We’d listen and then try to sound it out on the guitar. Wow! Specifically, on I Feel Fine! If ever you saw them, or anyone, on TV you’d key in on any camera shots that showed their fingers on the frets. Your demo here is just wonderful. Breaking it down string by string chord by chord. It’s a great lesson plan and a great tribute to a band who broke up long before you were ever born.
I like that I learned some new Beatles guitar riffs as well as chords.It was worth being subscribed to you:)
"I want you" is so heavy, it sounds like heavy metal. Pretty crazy Lennon and Beatles did that in the late 60s.
Helter skelter was the seed of heavy metal,and I want you she's so heavy inspires the whole first Black Sabbath albun
Blues*
Suena a black sabbath
@@fernandodeleon7466 John Lennon said " Ticket to Ride" was the first heavy metal song. I'm just telling you what he said.🎸🎸🎸🥁
@@luisspeciale4675 its an opinión...it could be, I dont know
You are absolutely gracious and agreeable, Ayla.
Thanks very much for your very inspiring and very understandable teachings.
Another great lesson! i always look forward to these 😀. And to answer your question my favourite riff is "and your bird can sing"
"And your bird can sing" has one of the most good riffs ever made...
I agree. It's a guitar part I could only dream of playing. Another Beatles song that has a killer guitar riff is I Call Your Name. It's a riff that barely takes a rest and plays throughout most of the song.
A youtube guy named Josh Turner alone plays that part to perfection, especially knowing John and George played it together. Josh and his buddy also do "Martha My Dear" with banjo and guitar. Josh is an upper-level musician. Give him a listen, if you think of it.
Very useful as always, and presented with a pleasing personality.
omg! I needed this video!!
Were you born with that beautiful smile :)
Thanks for these licks, much appreciated!
Hi Ayla , I am from Cape Town South Africa . I love the way you play guitar and teach , you are very professional and I have learned a lot so far. please keep up the good work.
Love your teaching !!! Just great !!! And love your pijama 😀
Wonderfully explained as always. Thank you.
One of my favorite Beatles rift is the one from ‘I Feel Fine’. I think it really is homage to the day when they were in various skiffle bands. Until recently I use to think it was George alone playing it but it’s actually John playing on his Gibson J-160E acoustic as well.
ruclips.net/video/FxruZgESFPE/видео.html
I was going to give a shout out for “I feel fine” too. Also the Latin style groove Ringo’s plays on it is brilliant.
My least favorite Beatle rift is the one where they broke up.
I’m pretty sure Day Tripper and Ticket To Ride were John’s too, because they’re so similar and Chuck Berry blues based.
@@carl_anderson9315 You mean the hooks ? Neither were Johns. Ticket to RIde's intro is George's all the way...he was proud of that riff. It was his nod to the Byrds.
Day tripper's hook was either Paul or George, It sounds like Paul's 6 string style from that period, that, and he doubles it on bass.
Ayla has such a beautiful smile and voice! Totally great videos with beautiful guitars and music, thanks 🙏😍
You can always tell a great guitar player when they can seamlessly switch from one guitar to another and play them all equally well. I have 5 guitars and the one that I'm most comfortable with is the oldest one in my collection simply because it's the body shape and neck profile that I'm most used to. Ayla can pull it off with any guitar that you plunk in her lap. Great stuff Ayla.
You are so amazing and knowledgeable your talent is outstanding. I love your take on the Beatles they are my favourite band too and I am now 68years old and as a result of one of my sons buying be an electric guitar for my 66th birthday discovering the joy .
Love the LPs on the shelf behind you! Nice video too.
Great job and thoroughly entertaining! Thank you 🙏
Hi Ayala love the Beatles you did there are lots of song I like by them but one of them is Revolution and hear comes the sun many thanks l love your teaching . Take care Paul . X
Same feelings as you have mention Scott , I just turn 67 a couple of months ago and can't agree more with you . ( My two daughter's do enjoy Beatles as much as I do)
Cheers
Very nice selection and well explained. Thank you. One of my favourites is from the song "Revolution".
No se puede explicar mejor. Enhorabuena. Gracias por tu canal.
Hi, from Guarulhos, Brazil. Beatles are awesome! Your guitar is awesome! And you are awesome!! Peace and love!
Loved this Ayla.. and agree.. these are Fab.. ulous! Love your epiphone in Blue!
Frank in Colorado
I'm always here for more Beatles content
thanks for the good tips and chill vibes
Well done with this! Can't for the life of me play I've Got a Feeling. Been trying for months now, but will give it another go with what you've got here. Thanks!
The intro lick for Drive My Car is one of the coolest. I would be interested in your take on it.
Your analysis is better than a lot of the other so-called Beatles experts. Good Job.
I've Got A Feeling - 00:36
Helter Skelter - 05:56
Day Tripper - 10:38
Hey Bulldog - 13:25
Paperback Writer - 16:43
I Want You (She's So Heavy) - 20:03
Ayla, please the Beatles guitar riffs on "Nowhere Man" - short but super beautiful
Great selection, not just the obvious choices. Every one of those guitars are gorgeous.
The repeated melodic line in 'I Want You (she's so heavy)' has an indescribable beauty .. only the rarest genius could have composed this .. of course, this is exactly what John Lennon was.
Nobody asked but my favorite riff is from "And your bird can sing".
Great job
, please keep the video's rolling ;)
Very impressive video! I will try to learn "I've Got a Feeling" and "I Want You (She's so Heavy)" soon.
Great list!
I would add 'If I Needed Someone' and 'I Feel Fine' to mine though...
Day Tripper's Second to Third note always sounds to me like a Hammer up from the G to the G#. Nice PJs.
Amazing presentation. I subbed. ✨
Yup - Day Tripper. I saw them live in Toronto '65 & '66, and DT was an unforgettable performance
I really dig the pajamas. They look really comfortable. Love the channel. I wish I had a teacher like you when I was growing up. Your really soothing and calming. Cheers. 🎸😼🦝🤘
Isn't it a jumpsuit?
@@thedevilsadvocate5210 oh, maybe. But I like to think they're pajamas 😁
@@sconni666
I would like some pajamas like those.
Great choices and that’s some guitar collection you’ve got, especially that blue Casino
I just came across Ayla. I subscribed, I like her teaching methods.
Ayla, you're killer. I have learned so much from you. Good fortune to you in this year and beyond.
Beautiful Casino Epiphone is great an affordable guitar.
Hi...to get the modulation on Helter-skelter, you literally hit / strum the low E so hard, it bends sharp...slightly attack the string from underneath 👍
Nice Job! All my favs too...
Fantastic job!
I frequently go to Beatle riffs to improve my links. Awesome video I'd love for you to break down Your Bird Can Sing thats an awesome intro.
I’ve watched a few of your videos. Fun watched.
This - I had to hear !
30 years ago, I heard a band do DAYTRIPPER slower than the original. Amazed !
Great list and lesson! I wouldn't have thought of "I've Got a Feeling" but when you played it, it made perfect sense why it is on the list. I also like the "I Feel Fine" riff, but very similar to Day Tripper in the song structure. Both are difficult to play and sing at the same time! Thank you for a fun video.
Thx so much Ayla. Yes I have an amazing time watching you each time 😊. Especially when you explain me what I'm currenttly working on! (I guess all the guitarists are revisiting Mac Cartneys'riffs these days since the Get Back doc release.. )
Hello,
Also from my side kompliment, such a perfect way to analyse and explain to others,you are amazing guitarplayer And musician,o also admire your technique,how you čaj play different style,that some are si far from each other,great job, respekt 👍💯
Excellent stuff
you absolutely rock
Me personally I really love the guitar in the song “Help” which now that I mention it I feel the need to check that one out again soon, yo, really inspired by your vid ! thanks. !
It's said Paul plays the riff of Paperback Writer and he did his guitar playing, like Ticket to ride, Drive my car, Taxman, And your bird can sing, Sgt Pepper's etc on his Casino. He was the first to buy one, John and George followed and both also got Strats. I believe Paul had a Telecaster later on, definitely a Les Paul but still uses his Casino a lot...
Great video! I think I read somewhere that Paul played the Paperback Writer riff on his Epiphone Casino.
Paul played bass only on Paperback Writer.
@@scottandrewbrass1931 and lead guitar
Paul played the main riff, George played the fills.
On "She's so heavy", if you want to sound more like the record, while you're picking out the riff, counter strike the open D, to give you a ringing drone.
Nice Casino! And great video/lesson.
Two of my favorite opening riffs are Paperback Writer and Ain't Talkin About Love.
So, smooth, authentic and endearing.
Guitareo is a game changer. 🤩
You rock, gf. All the heavy Beatles stuff ;) Nice perspective on the guitars.
You had me at Hello, and Beatles riffs :-)
You're definitely right, Ayla. The Beatles have a ton of familiar riffs and WAY too many to choose from. LOL You do a great job on these, and I like that you included "Hey Bulldog" in this set. It's a great song, and very underrated. You're also right about "Abbey Road." Fantastic album!!! I think "Come Together" is one of my all time Beatle favorites. A friend of mine actually saw the Beatles in concert once, and she said the tickets were $12 U.S. dollars. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around that!!! QQ - Was that an Epiphone Casino you were playing in the first three pieces? 🤘🤘👍👍🎸🎸
I can't get enough of your lessons to know how to play the guitar 🎸
I don't know why it has never occurred to me to learn that I've Got A Feeling riff. Seeing the way it is played, shows how similar it is to the openings of both Suspicious Minds and In The Ghetto - All three were recorded around 68-69.
The way the Beatles rehearse during one of the Get Back sessions immediate made me think of Ghetto.
Great lesson ty
Love that blue guitar. Love the Beatles and love your channel.
I like ur way of explaining guitar. The way u talk makes learning guitar fun and easy. Ur smile and accent and opinions on what guitar or technique that might have been used catches my attention. I love ur phrases too. Hope to see some more videos. U r cute too. Pretty quick with ur fingers. Later
Nice PJs young lady. Beatles one of my favs too. I Feel Fine my fav from fab 4
It's very cool to see a young woman playing raucous guitar licks. Also whenever I teach a beginner guitar player I always show the early stuff which is not because it was the music of my youth but for the reasons you've said. It became noticeable that 2 tracks you illustrated may have influenced Paul Kossoff of Free - More Than A Feeling/Alright Now (or even Suspicious minds by Elvis) and Paper Back Writer/I'll Be Creeping
Jack , check out Kanami of Band-Maid. Start with the official live version of Domination.
Enjoy your videos great teacher
Great Music Thank you.
Lovely.. thank you very much..!
Wonderful, and phenomenal guitars!!!!!!
That was cool the music you played I was living in that area guitarist what really got my ears was Jimi hendrix he stand out more then any guitarist in guitar he Express hisself how he felt inside and out to us
That's a nice shade of blue on that epiphone!
Great video, I love And your Bird Can Sing
I was haunted by the first riff you played. Then I realized it was a Steppenwolf song, "Snowblind Friend", actually written by Hoyt Axton. I love it when music leads you along a path that is so rich.
Steppenwolf is pretty darn underrated!
duuuuuude
I've got a feeling was released almost 20 years earlier
@@m.mahdigh7362 I wasn't saying that Steppenwolf originated the riff, only that I recognize the influence between musicians and appreciation of the riff itself.
It’s a pretty common chord progression that’s been recycled many times
I love you Ayla
Your guitar is so beautiful bro you make great content 🤟🏼
