0:00 - Intro
By discovering systems and patterns, the guitar fretboard will start to make sense. Here's how Ayla demystifies the fretboard.
0:57 - String Names
The best way to memorize the string names is through a catchphrase like: “Eddie Ate Dynamite, Good Bye Eddie.”
1:38 - The Fretboard
Every time you move up or down a fret, you’re moving up or down by one semitone. Start by going through all the notes on the low E string and the A string before trying to memorize all six strings.
5:05 - The Fret Markers
A lot of guitar players use the fret markers to memorize fret numbers. The first dot refers to the 3rd fret, the next dot is the 5th fret, then the 7th, and the 9th.
8:07 - Building Chords & Scales
If you play a chord shape that doesn’t use any open strings, you can move it to any key as long as you start on the right root note. The same goes for scales!
10:15 - Intervals
The numbers written in the scale chart are referring to scale degrees, a.k.a. the first note, second note, etc. But these numbers also refer to intervals.
12:38 - The C Major Scale
The C major scale is the same shape as the A major scale shape but instead, you start on the root note of C.
13:59 - The A Major Scale (5th String Root)
Learning this scale allows you to play the A major scale in both positions which also unlocks more of the fretboard so you’ll know where to find all of the intervals.
15:24 - Recap
These systems and patterns are what Ayla still uses in her playing today to help understand the fretboard and uncomplicate music theory she wants to apply to her playing.

We hope you enjoy this lesson and that it helps you understand the guitar fretboard a little more! 🙂
Hii hope you could teach us also on how to break the pentatonic scale sounds and definition of the time signatures. Thank you!
Young lady you are an exceptionally good guitar teacher. Simple is always easier and you make things sound a lot less complicated. I've been playing, (trying to play😂) since I was 7 years old. I learn something from almost everyone I watch play guitar, but you are the easiest to understand that I have encountered.
Excellent job!
Keep'em coming!
Young lady please teach me how to hit the note precisely in fingerstiling. Tanx
Huge thanks from Tokyo, Japan. You are marvelous in teaching exactly what I wanted to. I will be following your terrific lessons.
love it...very helpful as im a 62 year old beginner
i know all of this and still sat here for 18 minutes quietly and couldnt take my eyes off the screen, how can anyone dislike this person? i wish i had a teacher like this i would play for 8 hours a day :D
Same bro. Shes one of a kind
Yes i knew too but her way is different
I wish she was my first teacher too. I went through a lot of duds....
@@dannyspitzer1267 haha, i am a beginner on guitar and bass still but i play 2 hours per day and trying to learn as much as possible so during covid no option for a teacher so online has to do, but this lady has such a personality and charisma i could watch her for days regardless of topic
@@dannyspitzer1267 Former ANTHRAX guitarist?
Nope!
She has such a nice easygoing vibe
I’m 72 years of age and your tutorial is helping me learn at this late age! Thanks❤
Get it man. Do you post anywhere? I'd like to see
Coming back to playing guitar after a long hiatus and ran into this. You rule. Calm, clear, collected, and efficient lesson. Not muddled with trying to show off. Very self confident, humble and knowledgeable. Great job and thank you.
Agree with what you said. My hiatus has been a few decades. 😂😂
Her teaching is like a cup of hot chocolate on a cold rainy day.
with donut on one hand.....
@@edvergara9748 and using the donut as a pick
You only say that because of the green guitar 🎸
She has the Julia Chiles style lol she's great 👍
wtf does that mean
I wish I had a video like this right when I started. This explains a lot of things very clearly and logically for just 18 minutes.
Incredible time to be a beginner. I had nothing except what I could pick up from listening to records. Eventually I got a chord dictionary.
@@jigsaw9618 I have UA-cam and I STILL went to the bookstore and bought music theory and guitar chord books 😃
I'm so new when i ordered a guitar book thru Amazon, they sent me two. 😂😂
Where do you get your background a minor track from?
Exactly. I am from the pre-PC & pre-Internet / UA-cam era.
Lady Thanks. You are a true genius without going do expensive lessons to play Worship music in Church. You gave me all I need to understand . I'm playing 40 years folk music and turn to Worship music in Church now on age 60 ❤
Ayla, you are not only a talented guitarist, you are also a talented teacher. Too often, teachers go too fast, assume too much, and/or they use their teaching time to show off more than teach. You, on the other hand, are a warm and personable teacher, whose sincerity is as clear as the notes you play. This was a great video for beginners AND for people who needed a good introduction to the keyboard no matter how many years they may have been playing. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience with us. Kindly do some more of these videos for us. Thanks!
Just what I needed since I'm about to try to learn the guitar for the 3rd time.
Wish me luck. 😁
Good luck, you can do it!! Third time's the charm 😁
The best way to start learning is to select a favorite simple song a Folk, Country, with just 3 Major Chordss like C, D, G.. then strum "down down" and sing along.
@@WorldEngineersOnline I started on back in black and i got super good in a couple weeks
updatre?
I really appreciate your videos Ayla. Love your approach to music teaching. You have a gift of making people comfortable and not intimidated trying new concepts. Keep the lessons coming
I’m an absolute beginner and this was my first introduction to the fretboard - I’ve got a lot to learn 😄 but you sure make it clear. Thank you!
LEARN 👏 ROOT 👏 NOTES 👏
At least for me, they were the key to it all. Root notes anchored everything for me and lessons that were very abstract and hard to wrap my head around before, made sense immediately.
SO 👏 TRUE 👏
When you mean learn , do you mean memorizing them?? Or is there something else to it?
what root notes_??😭😭
@@TimlegoStudios ehm, i could be slightly inaccurate, but i'm pretty sure its the most dominant note that forms it into a chord, if that makes sense?
It's basically the starting ground for a chord. from my little lack of piano knowledge, a C chord for example would be *C* E G, moving up, and then you'd just get rid of E and G, and have the root note of C left.
You've broken this topic down really well here. There's so much information and its so concise
I LOVE your channel. You just gave me the break thru I needed. Everything is starting to make sense. Thanks a million!!
Hi Ayla
Thank you for your insightful instructions.
I like the way you stand out from other numerous teachers on UA-cam, with your own take and style of teaching.
Please remain true to yourself and keep the videos coming.
Thank you 👍🏼👌👏
These videos of Ayla teaching us guitar are so amazing, please keep them coming 🥺🥺💖
Will do!
@@MusoraMedia Thank you! :)
i used to play keyboard then piano and then i started on guitar, it's like i have all the basics and note values and some music theory already there but the guitar really confused me at first and it was off putting where you strum a chord and it didn't ring right or a solo part wasn't smooth and more picky, but looking back i think im getting better and starting to get the gist of it. i feel it's safe to say guitar is harder at the beginning but gets easier as you go.
It's a wild thing about guitar how you can muck about on it for 10 years and someone like Ayla shows a pattern / association you hadn't seen up to that point and you go "I *never* made that connection before..." Happens more than I care to admit... Thanks for the new insights !
Yeah it's crazy how you can keep learning your whole life
Happened to me but in drumming. After years of playing the drums I stumbled upon a Jojo Mayer instructional video and I was like 🤯.
😂😂
I realized that all this time I had been trying to reinvent the wheel. 🤦♂️
@@jessevarela p
I have been playing guitar for about 24 years, you have just managed to make me understand notes and scales for the first time 🤯
Thank you Ayla for simplifying the fretboard, scales, tuning at the fifth fret, and helping us the degrees of a scale! A very nice foundation to build from. Your certainly a calm and patient breath of fresh air! Keep the EXCELLENT content coming! Hbc
That was an excellent lesson, I will certainly be implementing the steps outlined expertly in it. I wish I had a teacher like her. Many thanks to her
Been playing 40 yrs. Learned during the 80's the Decade of the Guitarist in my humble Opinion . I'm self taught and I was able to learn something New for me from this . Thank You very well done !!
This is the most comprehensive guitar music lesson I've found online. I also really enjoyed the color coordination of green tones 💚
Ayla your teaching style is amazing. You clarified so many of my doubts in such a short time. Most of your tips are so practical. It seems these are coming from your experiences. Thank you and share more video.
Love love love her. Keep her around. Wish I had her when I was younger and first learning . She makes it easy to understand and non-intimidating. Cuts through the bs. Also fun to watch cause of her uniqueness and personality. Sweet guitar💚
Best video I've seen on this topic so far. My 1st guitar hopefully arrives on Tuesday so I'm doing some research as an absolute beginner beforehand. I already understand intervals, building chords and scales from playing piano but couldn't quite grasp how to translate that knowledge onto the guitar. This video is so clear and well presented. It answers all of the nooby questions I've had in a few minutes! - Love your guitar by the way! Thanks for the help
This is such an awesome lesson. I am super thankful for finding this gem you created. I have been studying music theory using the keyboard for about a year now, and decided to investigate the guitar. This was so helpful in instantly relating what I have learned so far on the keyboard to the fretboard. I can totally see the keyboard laid out on the fretboard after this. One other thing I found very helpful was discovering that, in addition to knowing that each string progresses up the fretboard chromatically, it also generally follows the circle of fifths moving up and down on a fret, except for that pesky transition between the G and B string, lol. Thanks again.
Your laid back nature makes it easier to absorb the large amount of information you've provided. Thanks!
I just watched this video ... Thank you, you opened up something for me I was troubling over. Being 63 and trying to learn guitar is more of a challenge than I had thought.
Thanks Ayla, I like your laid back style. It's easy to learn from.
I have watched a ton of guitar videos online. You are and excellent communicator and make things very easy to understand and apply. Thanks so much for making these videos. You are a natural born teacher.
I have never smiled from how well someone explained something to me over a video i didn’t specify how to make. Thank you so much i love u
Literally the best teacher I’ve come across. Love her personality and she seems to really enjoy teaching almost as much as playing.
This is one of the most helpful and informative videos I've found in my quest to transition from a beginner guitarist to an intermediate guitarist. Thanks Ayla and Guitareo!
Thank you so much for the breakdown, picking up a guitar and trying to learn from the beginning is like trying to understand Latin for me. You breaking it down and teaching in your method has trying helped me
Every other ‘beginner’ scale video I’ve seen uses jargon that is way too incomprehensible, but you broke it all down very cleanly and helped me to understand a whole lot in a very short amount of time, thank you so much!
I had two teachers who demanded I know every note on every string. One wouldn't even go any further with lessons till I could pass this test. I believe it really helped to open up the fretboard. Helped me understand the major scale and how chords are made and their relation to scales.
Not even my guitar teacher explained that clear to me. She is the best ❤️
The best lesson I've had to understand the fretboard and learn scale shapes. Thank you Ayla. You're an excellent teacher.. and everything is said with a smile on your face.. 😊🙏
I am 61 and just bought my 1st guitar, an acoustic electric. I do not know the first thing about playing, but you explain things in a way I can understand.
Ive learned more in this video than I’ve learned in 10 years and thats the truth she’s amazing how she teaches and I don’t even play guitar anymore I’ve switch to the keyboards just couldn’t get the hang of the guitar wish I would have found her earlier in my life great tutorial.
So clear and to the point. I wish I'd had this lesson when I first tried to learn the guitar many years ago. Thank you Ayla!
wow, you don´t know how much I needed this video to demystify the fretboard. thank you so much! This was the best explanation I´ve ever seen
I'm one of those musicians who learned the open chords and just took off rockin. Now I want to expand my abilities, and this channel really facilitates easy learning. Thanks GuitarLessons!!
Shine on, Ayla. Shine on with the light of a thousand billion stars. The universe is yours and music is its language.
I heard she got a DUI yesterday
@@kingfisher7960 proof?
Thanks, Ayla! I’ve literally been trying to learn guitar for over ten years, and I haven’t learned a single song, although I’ve tried. There’s something about your patience, friendliness, and approach to teaching, that really helps me to grasp the concepts. I feel like I’ve learned more from you in a day than I have in years, from anyone else
I never understood the terminology in a lot of tutorials and while I will have to memorize this, this is the first thing that ever made sense. SO GOOD
This is such a really great lesson! I like your method of delivering the instruction, makes it easy to understand and not overwhelming. You are smooth and in the groove! Great instruction and playing!
I heard her voice for literally a minute and I already fell in love😅 to be honest I wasn’t even paying attention to the lesson, I was just mesmerized by her vibe and couldn’t stop watching lol.
Ayla’s teaching method is exceptional ‘cause it unlocks the hurdles many beginners face when they are caught up in a rut. I personally recommend to beginners to learn from the experience of this brilliant young lady. Bravo Ayla.
I love your videos. I don't understand how scales can help me understand the relationship between notes but I'm also pretty new to learning guitar. Thanks, keep the good vibes rolling
Seriously good teacher. Clear, logical, measured, and very helpful. Thank you.
you always manage to make my fridays even better!
A lot of tutorials started with cool licks or shreads showboating the tutors' skills. Her opening just straight to the point, the content is straight to the point and with clear instructions. Learning so much from her videos.
most confusing thing i ever watched in my life
Wow! Of ALL the guitar lessons that I've seen here on UA-cam. This is by far the best.
Ive watched alot of SPJ, BP, PD, AM, MM and other channels and you explained things so nicely. Thank you.
Ok, I know I'm not the best guitar student, always focused on shapes and tabs rather than musical concepts, but this is the first time that I've actually understood what intervals are all about.
You made me cry, Ayla, you wonderful teacher you :')
This is a lovely lesson thank you very much
Thank you. You're smile is so nice to look at while listening to your tutorials. Your voice is so sweet and perfectly clear to hear. It was helpful to me from what i have learned from you. More power and more videos.😄😄😄
Thank you so much for the video. The unmasking of the fretboard was amazing. Something beginners should definitely understand. It made me feel that it is possible to learn the guitar.
You are an amazing gifted instructor....
that guitar is gorgeous!
The girl is also gorgeous

I learned more in this video, then I have in reading a dozen books and many many many other videos. I can’t believe the lightbulb went on in my head. You rock,Fantastic work, if I lived anywhere near you I would come to you for lessons. I can tell you really know your craft. Enjoy your journey
What a great teacher and you appear to be such a gorgeous person. Thanks for everything you share.
Practice, practice, practice is the way to learn from Ayla or any teacher. Thank you for this lesson.
No,no,no!! It's pratise,practise,practiSe !!!
I love how she explains things so that anyone of any age can understand what she's saying
Been playing guitar for 6 years and still found this helpful. Great video!
You are a true gift! Love your teaching, playing, and personality. Thank you. I’m a fan.
She has such a chill stoner vibe, which I really appreciate. Thanks for the lesson. Very well articulated 🤘
Wow. Very well explained & edited; Very clear & concise. Had a serious light bulb moment.
Makes sense. Still trying to figure how to go up with the fingers making the scale.
Ayla, you are by far one of the finest things on the Guitar Net right now. Thank you for your sincere kindness and approach to things and for not judging and for having a heart that weighs both sides of things. I learned more here today than in so many other confusing guitar videos, that they pretend to teach, or can never get to the true point or to the clarity of things (I'm not judging here but simply telling the crystal truth). Keep on keepin' on! You go girl!!
I learned so much in such a short amount of time, you completely unlocked a door I thought would take much longer to understand. Thank you so much.
My music teacher in high school taught me “Easter Bunnies Get Drunk At Easter” haha
LOL. but wait... that isn't standard tuning (EADGBE)? My music teacher taught me Elvis Ate Dynamite Good Bye Elvis. Pneumonics can be so funny!
It is standard tuning he just going 1-6 string rather then 6-1
Everybody Goes Dancing And Eating for me
Another cristal clear lesson. ¡Muchas gracias Ayla!
A great explanation for establishing fundamentals. I really liked the part about intervals. In the martial arts, we were taught that to really have a technique one must know it , demonstrate it and also teach it. You do this.
What a great time I had watching this, even though I already knew it. You're awesome and that guitar looks gorgeous.
I love Fridays
...but whose do you like more 🤔
@@MusoraMedia Yours, haha.
@@MusoraMedia haha lol ! both i believe XD
@@duazia9737 Good answer.
@@tanisha9080 Even better answer.
nice one... i learned "Eine Alte Dame geht heute einkaufen" which means something like an old woman buys her groceries today. Don't know why but in the german speaking area the b string is commonly called h string
haha ich hab die Saitennamen mit “Eine alte Dame geht Hering essen” gelernt :D
Ayla, you are such a welcome addition to the guitar teaching world. There’s a revolution of sorts with all sorts of women rocking out and making those electrics sing, and I’m one of many enjoying and feeling energized by the parade. Keep up the posts and warm smiles. ROCK ON! 👍
Thanks for the lesson. You are fluent at teaching and have a voice that is very clear and easy to listen to.
Jinkies! Another mystery solved
Zoinks!
The open E, A and D chords are actually the same shape, twisted to fit around the B-string.
Thank you for your wonderful fret board vid. Now I need to start practicing more on it. Thank you so much, please keep making more vids for all of us beginners. Thank you again. Peace
That was an excellent lesson.
A great story and I love the way you tell it. When I was a kid we got lessons that went like this. Go like that, then go like this, then go like that again, then move up here. Then go like this. Then go like that again.
Rinse and repeat.
I was today years old when I learned the note is called a sharp when your going up the scale, and a flat when you're moving down. And I've only been playing for the last 48 years. SMH>
Can someone please tell Ayla her pants are awesome.
This young lady is a ray of sunshine. What a great teacher. She makes you feel so comfortable and encouraged. I've learned a lot from her videos.
I’ve played guitar almost 20 years now. And still don’t know any of this lol.
Elvis Ate Donuts Good Bye Elvis !
😄 I like it
I’m so lucky to be starting right now. Soooooooooooooo many helpful tips tricks and videos for learning new and old techniques. No excuse to suck at anything honestly in these day and times
YOU'RE TOO SMOOTH FOR WORDS. THANKS FOR THE AMAZING LESSON. MAKES TOTAL AND COMPLETE SENSE.

When I learned the piano, the first thing that made such a difference was learning the keyboard alphebet and the basic patterns of the scales. Everything else made sense to me from their. Now I'm waiting for my first guitar to come out the shop and I been looking 2 days for a video just like this. Too many guitar beginner videos skip this part. Thank you. I'm a new subscriber.
I have just started playing guitar and this has opened my eyes so much! WOW! Thank you so much for this!
You're one of the best teachers that I've learned guitar from. Thank you
Excellent information! I appreciate how she mentions the importance of bending (in another video) to give character (I call it making it tasty) to your playing. Especially for a beginner. Not only do you get more flavor but I feel bending will have the most benefit in improving your finger strength.
I recently watched her perform with her band. I didn’t even know she was a singer. Can’t wait to see how she evolves as a player/vocalist/musician. Great channel keep up the great work and attitude!
I just bought 2 guitars one for my grandson 8 and my son 40 ahahha and I sent both of them your video. I love your style of explaining music.
I've been playing since I was 12 I'm now 38 and still enjoy watching guitar lesson type videos I know all of what she taught and she did a great job explaining. The reason I still watch guitar lesson videos is you may suprise yourself and find a new trick or approach you may have missed when first learning or though had no importance to you when first attempting the guitar. Learning how to play never ends, their is so many different styles and techniques it could take a lifetime to learn and master, but as long as you are having fun and expanding your ability you are on the right path.
Props to her showing this lesson I always tell people that are first learning learn the notes and it will open highways of possibilities in the future when playing and jamming with others.
Thank you so very, very much!! It is all making sense to me now. You just made the lightbulb turn on in my brain!!
I've watched this video several times now over the past week or so and just finally caught on to the E-String vs A-String patterns. Light bulb moment!
