  • Thank you for watching my video! My name is Ayla Tesler-Mabe, and I am a musician and songwriter from Vancouver, Canada. This is a lesson on the song Waves by Calpurnia, which is a band I was part of for a few years in my even more youthful youth. I’ve had a pretty outstanding number of people request that I talk through how to play this song over the past few years, so I really wanted to make this video for anyone who was looking for it!
    Feel free to check out my band (Ludic!):

      Hi, i really enjoy your music and your performance, is so good. what do you think about latin rock? Especially about Gustavo Cerati and his band soda stereo? I am sure that you have a lot of fans in latin america, and it would be nice if you cover any song of they. ua-cam.com/video/6S14DxUKNUQ/v-deo.html. "Disco eterno"- unplugged

    I used to be a swimming teacher .. Which changed my life .. 30 kids 9 to 11 years old .. But The Joy I got back from taking a child who was afraid of the water & helping them to learn to fly in the water was Cool & actually Soul rewarding .. I over came my shyness & learned how to project my voice .. So I studied it .. & discovered .. average attention span 30 seconds .. But you are a Natural .. & have a lovely speaking voice .. I could tell you lots of things But you will learn as you go .. But I taught Deaf kids blind kids disabled mothers with babies Gran & Grandads & a one legged one armed woman who had been a swimmer & just needed some help I taught synchro swimming & Life saving ( 150 Bigger than me Trainee Firemen ) that was difficult at 1st .. until 3 got into trouble & I had to recue them & after that I had respect from them . But you already have So much of the main requirements .. A) you really know what you are talking about B) You are fun & engaging .. ( Trust me I have looked at hundreds of lesson sites & most of them make you want to Click next .. within seconds ) . Some hints ? suggestions ? here you Go .. Try not to apologise .. & if you call yourself silly ? well ?? .. One time I was taking a Karate class & the 6 foot 10 Black belt told us . There are 159 moves in this Kata .. Now he Knew them all .. But if he was trying to show you move 73 .. he could only get there by turning his back on the class & working his way thru the 1st 72 moves .. Brilliant Karate guy who could smash planks of wood with his head but Woe fully under pre pared as a Teacher .. There is ? was a fellow Canadian guy who had a site called " shut up & play .. He just showed his hands .. But his playing & his knowledge superb plus he had a nice speaking voice too .. Last tip stay away from Politics & religion Lol You are intelligent & eloquent .. But remember whatever you say can & probably will be pounced upon by Idiots .. I heard Jennifer Batten teaches a course in Empowerment & teaching .. Ted talk ? or her site ? but if she had ten dollars for everytime she explained how she got the Michael Jackson Gig .. lol .. The main thing is like playing the Blues & I quote " 1st you tell 'em what your'e gonna tell 'em then ya Tell ' em & then after you show off a little bit ya tell 'em again " .. & If you have the attention span to read this you are like most musos rare .. try asking a drummer the lyrics ? or an audience member all the words .. its Play the Hook get to the chorus & get back to the Hook .. Kylie Minogue " Can't get you out of my head Na na na etc etc love you loads feel free to pin this at the bottom or delete it I don't mind .. Pass it on . I made a promise to someone who taught me for free Pass it on . stay safe Bye .. Autumn leaves here inf Ye olde Forest in Englande bye

    Love your style of conveying the history of your past and how easily and instinctively you conduct the lesson. You are so relaxed and make I'm sure many of us feel likewise. It's really a fun learning experience and your blending of little bits and pieces of music theory is really a plus. Have been following your tutorials and your cover songs for awhile now and have alot of my friends dialed in too. Keep up the great work and helping us enjoy playing the best instrument the guitar. All the best and looking forward to your next tutorial! Tony

    Ayla, thanks for stepping outside you comfort zone - gonna take a wild guess that's the case there - and sharing a bit of yourself with us, it was really nice to meet the person behind the amazing musicianship. Hope you do much, much more! Love your channel.

    Ayla, you are truly gifted :) Your passion for music makes me want to pick up the guitar and play a song or something and I don't even know how to play the guitar. You have a beautiful voice too. Keep it going, love!
