0:00 - Intro
Are you ready to take your guitar skills to the next level? You’ll feel more comfortable improvising on the guitar and create some pretty cool licks.
1:10 - Level 1
In this lesson, we'll be centering around a 12-bar blues in the key of A. The pentatonic scale is always a great place to begin because you’ll get the most mileage out of it!
4:34 - Level 2
building a vocabulary of licks you can find online or in songs you listen to and implement them into your playing. They inspire you to find your sound.
8:59 - Level 3
Trust your ear and try exploring notes outside of the scale. If they sound good to you, then they’re probably good!
13:15 - Level 4
By following along the 12-bar blues with arpeggios, you can know which notes to play along with the chord changes. This is your way of outlining all the chord tones in your playing.
16:09 - Level 5
Start linking in those “weird” sounding notes. They’re the ones that build tension in the song and add emotion (and sound a little jazzy!)
19:41 - Level 6
Out of all the levels, THIS is the most important step. Adding techniques like vibrato, sliding, and bends is the best way to add the most emotion to your playing.

The fact that Ayla is not only talented, but extremely ARTICULATE as well, makes these lessons a cut above many of the others!
-
I love her 🤷♂️☀️🎸☀️🎸☀️🎸
-
She is the coolest teacher
-
Ayla: you are a wonderful guitar teacher. You explain things clearly, and you encourage rather than lecture. Your pacing in the things you present is perfect, and I loved the fact that you demonstrated almost everything you explained, clearly and slowly enough to follow. One of the better video guitar teachers I have found. Keep up the great work.

I started "playing" the guitar on my own and without instruction decades ago. I got pretty good as a rhythm guitarist playing and/or finger picking chords, but soloing was always beyond my ability. Ayla, thank you for de-mystifying the neck, and turning all the lights on for me regarding playing solos. I never got it before, mainly because I never had anyone explain it as clearly as you do. I can't wait to really start playing, now. Thank you!!
-
'What is music?' 'What is a musician'? Now those are such important and profound questions and Miles Davis knew the answers. Thanks for quoting him.
-
Thanks Ayla, I love your videos. I've been playing guitar really badly for 50yrs, never bothering to learn the notes or scales. I stumbled across your videos and you've helped transform my knowledge and skill in an easy going fun way and more importantly re-established my love of playing guitar. Thanks again!
-
I'm pretty sure no one "hated" what you said here Ayla. If you do a 180, you'll be heading in the right direction! I'm sure most people will love what you do...and even if they already know what you are teaching, they might even come here to watch how YOU teach, because you do it so well! Thanks for teaching us Ayla..please keep the lessons coming!...😇
-
Great lesson, most people who become serious about guitar will learn to play songs with chord charts or learning to read music, but very many guitar players struggle to melodic soloing. You could spend a good portion of your lessons on this one topic and get great reviews, so bravo Miss and keep your well taught and informative lessons coming
-
I hadn't picked up a guitar in years. About five years ago, I saw your cover of Since I've Been Loving You. That inspired me to begin playing again and I've learned more and have had more fun playing thanks to people like you that share your knowledge on YouTube. Many thanks!

If this gal ever decides to branch out from guitar instruction, she would make a great therapist. One of the calmest, most relaxed “Zen” personalities on the Net….
-
Great video, loved it, and the analogy at the end "Music is the space between the notes", you're awesome Ayla!
-
Love how she’s always smiling. Great lesson
-
Amazing player and teacher, I’ve played for a long time and am grateful I found this and learned a little more. Tons of respect for this lady!
-
as a 52 yr old frustrated player, you make a lot of sense and a pleasure to follow along with, nice work..
-
You know Ayla, there's a bushel of guitar instruction online, and I think you're the only one doing "levels" like this in the same video. I think it's BRILLIANT! Nice work, and great luck on your new songs.
-
I don't know whether it's Ayla's cheerful and always smiling face I enjoy so much or her insightful comments about guitar and music - along with her terrific playing - but the end result for me is always pure satisfaction.
-
This young lady is really good. She is a great Teacher kudos for her. ❤️🙏💯🎸🎸
-
Ayla is about the best proponent of guitar and teaching. The way she explains stuff is very cool and makes sense. I have already plagiarized her phrasing in some gigs lol.
