5 Levels Of "Sweet Home Alabama"
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 тра 2024
- There are a few songs that can be considered rites of passage for guitarists. One of these is the Lynyrd Skynyrd classic “Sweet Home Alabama.” Released on the band’s 1974 album Second Helping, it is considered by many to be one of the greatest southern rock songs of all time. “Sweet Home Alabama” isn’t overly complicated to play on guitar, and even if you’re only ready for level one, you’ll still be able to play along with the original recording! If you want to get people up on their feet, dancing and singing along, it’s a tune that’s hard to beat.

Ayla, what an incredible lesson on an iconic set of riffs. You da bomb!!!
Hi just stumbled upon your channel. I notice your from Canada.where abouts are you as I'm a Canadian also :) great stuff
What is giving this such a full sound? Is it the strat or the amp?
Like the way you are illustrating with the use of levels. Heard your Exorcist music when you were working up a sneeze … so … what happens if you don’t pay your exorcist?
YOU GET REPOSSESSED .
O, stop smiling Ayla! Joke.
I'm not a beginner myself, but I really respect how thorough and unpretentious she is teaching songs for people of all playing ability, it's super cool
Super girl
Concur. I like her.
Same
Awesome teacher great explanation
🎸
Even for an experienced (15 years now) player, this is an incredibly effective way to learn a song. Outstanding.
Ayla is a gifted guitar player who teaches to any level without making it about her own ability to command a song. So many teachers, even in "beginner" lessons cannot keep themselves from showing off. A teacher needs to check his or her ego at the door. I find that female teacher/players are much better at recognizing this and implementing their lessons with this in mind. Her delivery is clear, concise, and without any trace of condescension. Great job, Ayla!
Ah, so that's why The Doors have chosen that name? Leave your ego at the doorstep? Sunny side of the treat, right?
Yea, but it would have been dandy to see her put it all together and jam a bit. Not to show off but just because that is a fantastic song etc. and that is what musicians do.
@@nonya5475 nah
Bro wtf are you talking about? Are you getting offended at every tutorial cause you can't play at that level yet?
A teacher better had demonstrate his skills at times . Especially to a new student.
I'm a 64 year old. I've been playing since 1973. Ya show me stuff I've Missed. Love your Teaching . Ya brake it down Slowly. Beginner's can learn the Songs. Ya showed me Crap I've missed. Keep it up!!!!!
Ayla is not only gifted to play the guitar but she also knows how to properly explain while making the videos fun and charming to learn.
she also has the best cover of Hey Joe I have ever heard
I’ve been playing this song for close to 40 years including a few years playing live on stage in a band and I just learned more about how to play certain parts of it properly in 13:48 than in the past 40 years. Thank you ATM 👍
This style of lesson definitely works, and for someone down at the lower levels, here are several reasons why:
Even your lowest levels still give the feel of the song, many beginner interpretations don't.
We can see what it would take to move up to the next level and can practice those skills.
We can also see what it might take to get to our eventual goal of playing a song like the original and can make the determination of how much work it would take to get closer to that if we want to go that far. Or we can decide if there's a sweet spot lower down, that we'd still be happy playing.
I vote for more of these.
I totally agree with Surgeon. There's NO way to bite off this song in one chew (at least for someone at my level). Sneaking up on it helps me understand the song, not get frustrated, let me build my skills into it, and ... it's just great.
@@mikeblaszczak5346 sneaking up on it 😂 love that
Love your T-shirt! I live in Stuttgart Germany, Hometown of Porsche. Greetings from here!
At 65 and been playing for many years and still a novice, I see the thought out effort on how you teach, example, doing your best to show finger placement, incorporating very beginner to rather advanced playing, color me very impressed, and also I’ll mention your relaxed style .
Great lesson. I am a 78 year old beginner. Actually tried playing at 16 years old, but dropped out as I had no help,or teaching. I‘m also doing the Rick Beato course, which is v good, but it‘s also v motivating to be able to play this fantastic riff, slowly and badly, but recognisable😉 I‘ll certainly follow this excellent teacher.
She is gu'd, I'm 63
Honestly this is the most clear lesson of this song on UA-cam, nobody else has broken it down in such a simple way to understand.
You're awesome young lady.Great Job.
Excellent lesson, starting out small and then expanding really helps the beginners so they don't lose confidence or feel frustrated right away. Keep up the great work.
Great comment and so true. 👍👍👍
Great break down of an iconic song in concise fashion. Give us more.
You are a wonderful teacher. You have a great demeanor and pace. I appreciate how you layered lesson to accommodate multi-levels of player. You’re a pleasure to watch and you really understand the subtleties (arpeggiating, muting, etc) of the music you are explaining. Keep up the great job.
Loved it ❤. Clean, simplistic explanations of strings picked and fills. Great job ! You’re a sweetheart !
I love that Ayla can be totally badass at playing yet her teaching approach puts us in a position where she clears the road to make us feel we’re heading comfortably to her level.
Great lesson. Thought I was at level 5 but had drifted away from the exact licks a little. This brought me back nicely and quickly. The Skynyrd guys always said that the reason bar bands covering their songs often sound off/wrong is they don’t get the licks the way they are on the records. It really is all in the details.
I still marvel at how perfect Ed King’s signature licks were for this song when he recorded them ..48 years ago-wow. And the irony that the licks and solos in an iconic Southern rock song …were composed and played by a guitarist from Glendale, CA (LA) who didn’t care for Stratocasters much and only played one because the other LS guys played Gibsons
I really liked this. Coming from Bass and being a Bass player I find it pretty crazy how many little tiny things happen that make such a big impact on a song that are outside the root notes. I find I keep coming back to Ayla's videos for guitar to really break things down for me.
i absolutely love this style of teaching even though I'm an advanced player
I’m self taught and the way you go through the 5 stages is great. Very easy to build up your technique and hit those full speed riffs in no time. You need your own show for sure
Great tutorial! What I really respect is Ayla's teaching style. She knows how to deliver in order for others to comprehend unlike instructors or so-called teachers who don't know how to teach.
What a great way to learn a song! Been playing for over 40 years, and this is by far the best method I’ve seen to quickly learn how to play a song. Keep up the fantastic work you are doing ... and thanks!!
I love all how you break down all the subtleties (ghost notes, pinch harmonics, etc) that really make the song come alive and not sound flat. And because the lesson started explaining how the riff is based on the three chords it really makes it more approachable
These sure the same stages I went through as I learned the song from the radio decades ago. Oh how I wish you’d been around then. Your lesson is perfect and the way you walked thru it was ideal. Thank you for the hard work and patience.
I hope your in this with Guitareo for the long haul Ayla!! Please dont go anywhere. You make me want to play and learn!
I think this type of breakdown is great. It is nice to see the foundation built in the beginners level and how the added complexity adds to the sound to make the song what we know. Thanks
Hi Ayla. Thank you for sharing. Great class 🙂🎸
I love your '5 Level' concept. Because you very accurately break down the complexity of the song(s), and then ramp it up in intervals - in the same way most people learn when listening to others playing. At first just the rough shape of it - then building it up.
It's very intuitive and at the same time teaching us the finer details with every step up.
You're a gift to the scene.
This is by far the best teaching of this song that I have seen...Easy to follow along and no waisted time...Straight to the point...Love It!
I've watched hundreds of guitar instruction videos over the years and this is one of the most well done, well edited guitar instructional videos I have ever seen. Kudos from a new subscriber!
Fantastic way to build up an understanding of how the song can be played. Great method for teaching. Thank you!
Simplicity at its best . Really like the way you progressed from beginner to advance level in one video with no show off ( unlike other you tube pros trying to tell you how good they are ) . Thanks for posting this Ayla. I am definitely gonna subscribe your channel.
Love the way you break this down in "levels". Gives me smaller chunks to practice then move on to the next. Great walk through with tabs. Thanks for putting this together! It's very helpful!
I'm not a beginner and loved your teaching. The bloopers are fun yet you still command your space, thank you.
Really enjoying your tutorials on Lynyrd Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama and Jimi Hendrix's "Hey Joe" and the Jimi Hendrix 5 classic riffs. Glad some like yourself in the newer generations still appreciate the masterful guitarists of the 60's and 70's and are teaching others, including yours truly. Your 5-step process is very helpful so I hope you keep these coming. I am almost 70 now but only started learning the electric guitar when I retired a few years ago. Amazing what you can learn on UA-cam now, and your thoughtful, thorough, and precise lessons are so great. Also enjoy the interesting histories you include with your lessons. I love it! Thank you!
Love this method of teaching/learning. I've messed around with SHA many times but you made it very clear and doable.
What a beautifully structured lesson, literally the best I’ve ever seen, thank you so much
Thank you for this. It is a great way to learn a new song and if you do more of these I will watch them for sure.
Excellente méthode très pédagogique, merci et bravo.
Best instructional video I’ve seen!! I absolutely love your style of breaking the song down into progressive levels. I hope to see you do more of these 5 levels videos.
Wow. What an absolutely excellent way of teaching guitar via videos!!! Love it! ❤️ Subscribed immediately!!! Ayla, thank you sooooo much!
This is the best Sweet Home lesson that I've seen on YT. I like how you include the tablature under your fret board hand and slowly go over the fingering. That really helps. I haven't tried playing it yet, but based on what you've shown I could probably play up to about Level 2 or 3. I'd need to do a little more work on Levels 4 and 5. I've booked marked this video for future study. Thank you for this very good lesson, Ayla. 👏👏👏
Beautiful video. You're a great guitarist and a sweet and humble teacher. Can't really top that.
I really enjoyed playing along with this lesson through all the levels and appreciated the detail you went through to include tab with the video. It was a fun contrast in teaching a classic southern rock song from within a corporate style backdrop. Keep creating, please.
This is awesome and I'm sharing it with a veterans group to challenge them! Seeing Sweet Home Alabama , the first thing that came to mind was Sweet Home Ayla because watching you give lessons is so comforting and feels like home. :)
What an amazingly clear lesson from a gifted teacher! Thanks!
Yes! Love this style of teaching. Please continue adding lessons. You are a wonderful instructor.
What a great lesson! Thanks a mile. Totally love this format.
I like this format and hope to see more. Thanks for the lesson and video!
So amazing!!
Probably the best lesson and clear explanation of how to play the song. Definitely helping me at last, it's one i've always struggled with. Thank you
I've never seen such great instruction before. Execcent explanation for all levels.
I love this song. It's the song I put most of my guitar learning into. I've seen about 10 well made UA-cam guitar learning videos over the last 5 years, and honestly - this is the best one.
Chapeau!
Thanks for breaking this song down and explaining the finer points. I live on a sailboat traveling around the Bahamas and East Coast, trying to teach myself to play the guitar and this really helped with some of the nuances of guitar
Wow I love your guitar teaching ❤❤❤❤
Excellent lessons! You're a wonderful teacher; you really take the time to integrate the visual aids, callouts, and textual detail, the verbal explanations, and the close camera work into a highly articulate, accurate, and effective lesson. You don't rush through or gloss over anything. Your work is outstanding!
It must be the first time i see this lovely lady but her beautiful personality makes me think ive seen her before already
I wish I have the knowledge you have . The way you taught all the numbers I came across was so easy to understand. You’re one of the best guitarists I have ever known since I started learning the guitar. Absolutely wonderful.
Outstanding! Excellent job of building and explaining at the same time.
Excellent teaching approach !
I love this series, thanks Ayla!
This is a fresh idea of video and i enjoyed it fully miss Tesla mabe. And your genuine smile and energy.
Great lesson. Well structured.
Keep going like that. This is one of the best guitar lessons ever for the song.
Love this level teaching process. Thanks
Excellent lesson, very easy to follow and progress!
Love your style Ayla. Thanks for the lesson. I've been playing this awesome song for years but I liked the way you were presenting it so continued to watch to the end and now I'll be changing a couple notes along my way as I like yours better.
Ayla, this lesson is outstanding! I searched around before finding it and couldnt be happier. Nice detail in level 5 regarding the fills. The earlier levels are also helpful. Thank you.
Amazing, simply amazing tuition 👏🏻
Another awesome. Lesson. Clear and easy to follow steps. Amazing, thank you
I love this style. Many thanks. Keep it up!
Just love your lessons!! You Rock! Thanks
I love this style of teaching! Please keep it up! Thank you.
Excellent tutorial!
On e step at a time.
Good progress on each level.
I am impressed.
excellent lesson. love this style of teaching. bravo
I think it’s a great way to teach. Thanks
Great video! Nice production, and what a delightfully chill and undeniably competent instructor :)/
Just a timeless masterpiece of music ❤️🤟
Great lesson. Unique style.
Brilliant great teacher blessed be
I love this model for learning. Very nice.
I like your style of instruction very much. I've been playing guitar for 65 of my 71 years and you explain stuff in a way that anyone from beginner to expert can get something from. Keep up the good work 👍
Outstanding!
I really love these 5 levels vids the hey joe one was amazing, now this - great content, hope to see more like this - thanks!
I loved this approach. I've been playing this song for about 20 years with my buddies (we're not good - we just entertain ourselves) so I pretty much know it, but I picked up a nice tip at level 4 that I think will improve my version of this song. If I hadn't known the song at all, I couldn't think of a more helpful approach to learning it. Well done.
Very enjoyable and great teacher.
i liked the 5 levels as a new guitarist this was very helpful - the 5 levels give me a starting point and other levels to stive for
Very nicely organized and presented. You have a knack for doing this type of teaching.
Good approach to teaching, very well executed.
Just great teaching, honesty and complexity with a smile
Great breakdown here! Excellent teaching skills- you can sneeze now.
Love it, great method of learning - thank you
This is just excellent! ❤
Great lesson, cant wait to put on the song and horse around with it. Thank you so much!😊
Really a good job on breaking down such a great song thank you!
You taught this so well. Played it first try!! Thank You! 👍👍👍
Thank you for your time and space. And keep it up.
Very Cool. Awesome. Thankyou.
Love this style of learning to play. Great teacher. Keeps me interested learning bit by bit while not being overwhelming.
