  • No matter which way you look at it, Stevie Wonder is a musical magician. His mastery of melody, harmony, rhythm, chords and everything else in between is on a level beyond many musicians’ understanding. So how can you capture a little bit of Stevie’s magic for yourself? Well in this lesson, Ayla Tesler-Mabe adapts his keyboard-based approach to chords to the guitar. Specifically, we’ll be looking at one of the most important chord progressions in jazz, the 2-5-1 progression.

    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 UA-cam 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.

    In 10 days, I’ll turn 64. I mention that, because I have been a fanatic of Stevie since forever ago. As a teen, his poster was the only poster on my bedroom wall. I am a female - strictly acoustic guitarist. I do not read music (I read Tab at best) and I’ve acquired a few Stevie fake books along the years. His chord progressions are indeed beautiful and you’re right, his choices are colorful and un-ordinary. This is why I admire him so.
    I stumbled on your video tonight and of course, was captured by the subject I was about to watch.
    I’ve said all this when really, all I came to say was thank you for featuring an artist rarely covered by a guitar focus and to really thank you for being such an excellent teacher!
    I am your newest subscriber.
    Blessings be yours.

    As I search for intelligent lessons that incorporate some theory along the way, I really enjoyed this tutorial. I’ve been a life long musician/guitarist and you’ve done yourself proud. I’ll share this with others as my performing days are behind me but I still have old students that will ask questions about chord voicing and resolutions. Stevie Wonder is and always will be a National Treasure for all. Your video was well crafted. If I could pick your brain on the production aspects, I might be able to teach and share again through this type of medium. Keep up the good work. ✌️💙😎🎼

      Humans are capable of absorbing and learning a lot more at a younger age than beer drinkers can imagine. I taught myself all of this and more by getting my hands on music theory books in 7th grade. My 2 year old can hear an A pitch and name it. Humans are just like computers booting up and having software installed. What you are exposed to in the first 5-6 years of life (the first 2 are especially important), wires your brain to perceive and excel at those things because the brain considers early stimulus important and essential for life. I don’t play simple nursery songs for my kid, I play complex music. He loves it and gets it. Kids are extremely adept at learning and they absorb knowledge like a sponge.

    My Brain hurts .. LOL but seriously a Gr8 lesson .. intimately played with just your fingers ( no Pick ) & a lovely smooth sound .. very classy . I love the story 's that Stevie when he was Little Stevie Wonder .. used to always be around the studio " getting in everyones way & jumping on the drums when ever they were left alone & also found sleeping behind Amps in a corner during an all night session .. When I 1st heard Innervisions it just Blew my Mind . & one of my favourite songs of His & in my attempts to learn the Superstition Riff in Eb I used to blind fold myself & as a nice way to practice just have one candle on in the room ( safety 1st Kids ) But Although SRV 's Version made it more accessible & Stevie admits he Multi tracked the Song in the studio alone & he rarely plays it as it was 1st laid down often using other keyboard players .. it is still my Go to warm up on a Keyboard .. He is such a Trickster LOL it is always entertaining to watch him make his Band jump through Hoop's trying to follow his Directions .. A true Master makes it all look so easy .. As you just did with this Lesson .. Big Love & stay safe .
