0:00 - Intro
Ayla Tesler-Mabe discusses what makes Prince's guitar playing so incredible and the funk essentials of his popular songs.
0:29 - "Kiss"
Ayla is joined by her band Ludic to perform "Kiss," a quintessential funk song from Prince.
1:45 - E Dominant 9
In the into of the song, there are two guitars where the first one is playing the classic E dominant 9 chord.
2:10 - E13 sus4
The second guitar in the intro is playing an E13 sus 4 chord with heavy wah pedal usage.
2:44 - Chicken scratch strumming
This technique is found in a lot of funk music and derived from some of James Brown's guitar players.
3:16 - Solo
Most notable with using the wah pedal, the solo Prince plays is all in minor pentatonic.
3:35 - Bends
The "sassy little bends" are short and fast, and they appear in MANY Prince songs.
4:18 - Chorus
The chorus of the song is the dominant 9 chord shape moved chromatically.
4:32 - "1999"
Ludic jam together to play the second song on the list, Prince's party hit "1999."
5:53 - F Dominant 7
This main guitar part plays at the beginning and continues through the entirety of the song.
6:07 - F7sus4
The F Dominant 7 chord changes to the F7sus4 chord by moving the pinky to the 11th fret and barring the B and E string.
6:21 - Strumming
Ayla demonstrates the strumming pattern that adds to the funkiness of the song.
6:38 - Chorus guitar #1
This is a syncopated guitar part that outlines the roots of the chords but on the off beats.
7:29 - Minor Pentatonic
The funky lick Prince does in the song is right out of the minor pentatonic scale.
9:16 -Chorus guitar #2
The other guitar in the chorus follows the bass on the 1-2-3-4 while the wah pedal goes while you play the chord.
10:11 - "I Wanna Be Your Lover"
The final Prince song performance. This song was off of one of the earliest Prince albums and was a huge hit at the time.
11:15 - Intro guitar #1
The first guitar part in the intro is harmonizing with the bass.
13:42 - Intro guitar #2
The other guitar part (the more iconic part) is all very staccato. Ayla demonstrates how to achieve this technique and what notes to play.
14:55 - Pre-chorus
More funky staccato that goes into two more guitar parts. One is mirroring the bass, and the other is paying what the keyboard plays.
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.

I agree, Prince was an extremely creative and talented artist. He also was renowned for his work ethics; I believe that to produce great music there’s no replacement to good old hard work.
No one will ever compare. Real music by real musicians. Fantastic.👑👏💜💜💜👁
TIGHT 😎
ALIEN MOTOWN RULES!!
It's exhilarating to party with a guitar like that and make everyone dance. What a simple yet intricate language and what an effect when it all stacks. So much pocket and groove you got there. Fabulous.
She has it all....talent, intelligence, great personality, great teacher ....She is truly blessed!
Honestly wasn’t expecting this from you. I’ve watched you teach chords and some tricks but you are very talented. So we’ll done.
One of the best channels here for new and growing players. I’ve been playing for years without classical training, and I feel like you guys have really helped to fill in the gaps for me.
So hard to say, first one that pops into my head is "I Wanna Be Your Lover" but now I'm thinking "Housequake". There are so many!!
Is there anything outside of Ayla's musical abilities? Great technique and feel in her playing. Amazing singing voice. Command of music theory and a really good teacher.
I love Ayla's "funk face" while she's playing.
She's pretty and she's FUNKY 👍👍👍
Wow! Great job! Love Prince's guitar work. Very under appreciated.
Hi Ayla, thank you very much for this video! I am a big fan of your video lessons and a huge fan of Prince. This is one the best Prince tutorials out there.
For me, one of the funkiest Prince songs is a little known gem called Blanche. It's got some amazing guitar parts happening.
Omg....I can't believe this Prince tutorial. Prince is the reason for my interest in learning how to play!! I ent to 21 concerts and was trying to go to 100. Thank you for thus and I hope you can go over Purple Rain, Contraversy, Let's Go Crazy, Raspberry Beret and more!!
Thank you!!👊🏾😘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Good job Ayla!!
Thank you so much, Tomo!!!
@@MusoraMedia You're welcome! I gave Ayla a few Skype lessons and she learned everything so fast!
Well done Fantastic I watch you all the time and now you doing Prince! Great to see he still influences young kids! Real Music for Real Musicians! Keep up the great videos Ayla!!
Thank you for your lovely lessons!!!❤
Prince also was a genius when it came to finding the beauty in simplicity. Just a couple of notes but would make the absolute most of em and the air in between. Perfect example in the live version of "the question of you" live in tokyo 91 I think ? Either way you can find it on YT
Great teacher, and great playing!
Your playing is incredible! So tight, clean and confident with attack and bite. Thanks for the excellent lesson
Love it! Whole time I just envision Prince emerging from side of the frame and begin to lay down his impeccable vocal arrangement.
That KISS was succinct and spot on! You did all that?🎶🌊🏄🏾♂️
Brilliant! Got some funky chops!
Ah, that video put a smile on my face. Thanks 🙂
Thank you so much for the breakdown. Sounds so great.
Thank you for the lessons
great tips, loved the tone!
Loved this!!!!!!!!!
such a pleasure to listen to your explanation and still amazed by your skills ! :)
I love hearing all that noise in your setup, no joke. Makes me feel better about all my noise coming from... Wherever it's coming from
Excellent work , well done ! 😊
Fantastic!!!👍👍👍
Nice...thanks a lot...you teach v well
Ayla, fantastic breakdown! His funkiest songs? So so many. Would love to see you analyze Erotic City. So many subtle funk riffs throughout the song. Sexy M.F. and Gett Off are two other funk favorites. When Doves Cry has a funk beat but his guitar screams delightfully, especially the intro. Please do more Prince!
@Michael Katz, don't forget "Damn You" by prince and "I want to be your lover"
Also, can't forget "DMSR"
Awesome! Thank you so much, Ayla = )
Very nice. Best video yet.
Awesome heat!
Love ❤️ ya teaching style AYLA🎸
Ayla is an amazing young guitarist! She is so talented. I envy her ability. 👏 👏 🤘
Excellent!!! Thanks from France.
You nailed the guitar parts, liked and subscribed!
Excellent tutorial!
love your lesson!
This is fabulous instruction.
Wow absolutely fantastic
Very informative and extremely helpful. Thank you a bunch.
Thank you for this! Great video...fun and informative! A tribute to a musical genius, the Purple One!
Nice hat, stylish. The guitar playing was good to.
Awesome!!!!!
Oh wow. This is awesome
Hey this is really good. Absolutely loved I wanna be your lover.. old prince hits in the feels. Such an iconic opening ! I really like musicology. I have to say though, that some of the live performances are amazingly funky. There is a more recent one in a jazz festival in monteraux 2013, very funky.. absolutely out of this world. Prince rocks
Great job
Wow, I wasn't expecting this. You are a great player and teacher! I aspire to have your guitar chops one day :)
Amazing video!
Excellent
Ayla gets all funky.
Love yr playing btw
So, so, SOOOO, funkee!!! Thank U.
Loveandpeace.
Another Gr8 lesson .. easy when yah know how .. & practice for hours & hours .. Nice to see yo jamming with the brothers again .. I am still trying to master the little loop thing you did on a recent lesson .. Tricksy lol But you make it look so easy .. Stay safe .. this nasty Covid thing is not gone yet & I am so Proud of you .. ( unreasonably I mean what did I do nothing right ? well yes But like following the progress of a favourite Team .. you feel pleased when they are doing well .. & even if you don't always feel it .. you Look Cool ) Peace & love to all . Bye
That video made me rethink practicing funk more... Your chicken scratching sounds perfect!
hey, you 3 made that sound great😉👌👌👌💖
So tight!!! When I think Prince's funkiest is when the staccato strum is extra aggressive with moving bassline and octaves...and that is DMSR!
Thanks Ayla.
Nice playing, I was interested in the Prince part of this video but then I gravitated to the Meteroa!
I’m a simple kid, I see Ayla I click. I hear ludic is in this? I watch 100 times 🏃♀️
Good job
I had to pause this for about a minute and come back...cuz U 2 Funky!!😍
Thank U, with U Prince's guitare riffs become easier. I suscribe right now. I confirm : in his two first albums Prince used a lot phaser (I'm a big fan of this effect and, of course, of Prince !)
Gurl, you are Bad Ass!!!! Just subscribed and hit the bell!!!
Nice!
Great Job🏆🇺🇸🙋❤
Oh, so good.
Very nice. I just went to sweetwater and purchased a very nice multipedal board.
Respect!
💜☔️💜☔️
Please note this is a great example of how you feel about it. Talented players have the ability to transcend. I could be in for the long haul love with you.
Nice playing...
Berry NicE!!!
You definitely have the gear for that sound & the feel.
You have a 1st gen Meteroa with the block markers! Nice!
You and YOUR BAND ARE AWESOME!!!!
Just a suggestion, but can your bass player show the basslines and techniques also?
I am more of a bass player than guitar and would be interested in his approach to a song as well. Keep up the excellent job
damn homie CRUSHING!!
Cool guitar
YOU ARE AMAZING!!💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Get Down at 1:10 Right On! I luv it
Great to see young people getting into the apologetics of Prince’s musicianship. She actually has great tone in her hands.
Nice work darling
I believe Wendy played the actual solo on 'KIss'. You nailed the intro on it!!
Prince played it on the record. Wendy played it on the Parade tour...
G-R-O-O-V-Y!!!
Nice video. Kiss is technically a blues track.
Love that guitar! Futura?
Love that chicken scratch sound ! Great playing , thanks !
2nd comment of awesomeness 😊
Well alright now!!
She is good! 😎👉🎯
Would love to see you do When Doves Cry!
wow, that was amazing. Where can I get to listen to some full-length music from your band?
New Power Generation 🤩
Love the new Blonde hair & the hat. Love women in hats ! This look suits your look & playing. Love that Fender with the Block fretboard markers ! Is that a Mustang ?
Cannot help being drawn to this woman...
Hi- I enjoyed the video. What's the Make/model of your guitar please?
It's a Fender but I too would like to know the model.
Super! What Fender guitar is that youre playing...? Looks so great.
Fender Meteora
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Is that a telecaster? Would you recommend one for this style of music?
