Ayla Plays Steely Dan!

[@AylaGuitar]

1000 points if anyone can name all of these songs. ;) (not sure what these points would actually equate to in the real world)

[@peaceonearth8693]

People always say Steely Dan is a super tight band. I assume that means right on time and with some syncopation. Love to hear what tight officially means to a musician.

[@marthaortega3261]

You play amazing I loved the video ♥️ Keep doing it, you do it very well 🔥

[@lairdey]

1. Bodhisattva 2. Your Gold Teeth II 3. Kid Charlemagne Excellent job!

[@TheMark5977]

Bodhisattva, Your gold teeth and Kid Charlemagne

[@lowellcalavera6045]

Jonathan Laird It's definitely NOT "II"...

[@rexantares689]

Your hands seem to have that extra special little something that puts your playing into a whole nother dimension. I hope my vibrato can be as beautiful as yours one day, you're an inspiration!

[@petermuller161]

The vibrato really is on point!

[@Archer335]

Mark Cadistis, It’s all about practice and having an ear for the notes. This young lady has been practicing quite a bit - the right way. Once you know what you are doing, the hands and fingers do as they are told.

[@ericstewart9742]

I suspect she uses 7s

[@AylaGuitar]

@@ericstewart9742 10s!

[@johncoe6304]

Gosh I love her playing, attitude, and presence. Good lord.

[@sierramoore1527]

I just got an electric guitar for my birthday and I thought, "one day I want to be as good as Ayla." Your so dang good and iv'e been listening to your awesome guitar playing since Calpurnia :) Thank you for inspiring me to play!

[@jasminev7595]

your cover of your gold teeth was actually the reason I started listening to steely dan!

[@mr.janhe_10]

There are many young women on KZbin doing (or trying to do) the same: playing covers of famous gigs but most definitely you are the best! And I also appreciate your being real, not acting out some BS sexy poses. Kudos! 👍🏻🙌🏼

[@josefkrakel9136]

Always good to see another Steely Dan fan! She needs a "Steely Dan T-Shirt"!!

[@johncoe6304]

Wow. This young lady is unbelievable. Whew love love SteeleyDan . Their stuff ain't easy. But you play so seemingly effortlessly. Congratulations on your success.

[@johndial3934]

Ayla Tesler-Mabe just gets better. Amazing talent.

[@theagotrotta]

Love Steely Dan, love your playing and love your green strat!

[@douglasmeeker360]

Just beautiful Aja, I mean Ayla. Certainly a standout band in their day, with timeless music. Thanks for posting!

[@Edyth_Hedd]

This kid's vibrato is absolutely sick. Nice job on the Kid Charlemagne solo!

[@RangerRon75]

Whatever style of music you play just amazes me of your talent . Especially at such a young age! Thanks for making my Day Ayla!

[@randyvanvliet226]

Girl, you are killing this 62 year old man... still have Countdown to Ecstasy and Royal Scam in my rotation list. Keep going, Woman, you've left Young Lady behind with your talent levels!

[@hermesjjj5206]

Every day they inspire more young people to enter the musical field, we love you!

[@ronc4500]

It gives me great joy when I can hear someone from this generation play these classics and do it so well!

[@jeromemilton6838]

Steely Dan is one of my main influences of all times,thanks again Ludic!

[@musicalBurr]

Holy you are AMAZING! I love how you added your own flavor to the licks/solos, you own them. At least as good as the originals, if not better at times. So natural and at ease playing. Thanks for this.

[@chrisamerriman]

This young lady did herself proud at 2:05! That is an iconic solo that many guitarists won’t even try, but she nailed it. You’re gonna go far kid.🔥

[@elconquistadorism]

It all comes from the soul! And girl you got it! Thank you, and please pass it on... Cuz this world is loosing it! Please , please share it! Love you!

[@manilynpasibe717]

I really love ayla she is my new favorite musician I love her hand when she play her guitar. Love you aylaa

[@lowellcalavera6045]

Few things make me feel better than listening to Steely Dan.....Dias and Baxter were bonafide guitar deities, and you do them both justice on "Bodhisattva" Thanks for the post!

[@JRingo-vp5wp]

WAY TO GO, GIRL!! That is so cool! What an outstanding player you are!!!

[@athab8256]

Really, really diggin’ the tone and sound on that last piece! Great listening - thanks!

[@johnheart6890]

So amazing to see! You are the Gal! Guitar goddess! God Bless you!

[@larryburns3561]

You are an incredible guitar player. You make it look so easy. Wish you continued success in the years to come

[@tick7146]

Wow! It's nice to know that Steely Dan still get the respect they deserve. You nailed it so well!

[@JD-vx8gr]

Wow. Best Steely Dan covers I have heard. Thanks!

[@MrWonderful69]

Love Steely Dan and this Cover Song is great Great Work Ayla

[@gibsonguy5240]

As always Ayla sounding great, looking good and having fun...A total package

[@marknoahsotelo316]

New levels of respect for Ayla, Steely Dan guitar licks are NO joke. Are the Shades in the first song a little tribute to the Dan?

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Ayla - getting Jazzy-with it. This was phenomenal. You are an excellent player. oNe LovE from NYC

[@davidfurnival176]

OMG my favourite band of all time and Ayla smashes it - wow! Can't wait to see where this young musician progresses to

[@django02]

I clicked this super fast. In the comments for your Mind Mischief cover video back in April, you asked people to let you know any artists they would like you to cover. I suggested Steely Dan and 16 other people gave a thumbs up. I don't know if that had anything to do with it, but I've been waiting ever since to see if you might do one of their songs. But holy moly, you did three! Great song selections, great playing, and really nice job putting your own spin on them. Made my day.

[@neaituppi7306]

0:50 I had that same problem running through all the maj7, sus2, add2 chords of Deacon Blues.

[@drwisdom1]

Ms. Tesler-Mabe has repeatedly proved she can cover every guitarist exceptionally well while adding a freshness that makes it really listenable. But her greatest talents are demonstrated when she jams at levels only a handful of guitarists ever reach.

[@VitoArtist]

Such an incredible work, i'm impressed. Nice!

[@snowflakesarebeautiful8627]

Love me some Steely Dan. Thanks Ayla 🎸

[@mosriteminioncause7741]

This Gals talent is well within the Orianthi range, Keep it up Lil' Sister!! Fantastic talent!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@ronaldbitter5783]

Wow, that's great, I am 63 years old an that's my fav band

[@collick100]

You have impeccable taste my good man (I turn 65 next month). Stay well.

[@Deliquescentinsight]

@@collick100 I am the baby at 62 - Steely Dan are absolute masters!

[@markg3947]

Your Larry Carlton exit brought tears to my eyes. Wow! You made it look so easy. You are an amazing guitarist. Thank you for sharing your videos.

[@davetrent8612]

I LOVE IT~! Heck I LOVE YOU TOO~! Proud of you very much so because only a few ever attempt to play such classic Steely Dan riffs & You nail it my dear~!

[@kevincourcey813]

Really nice playing Ayla. I like the way you personalize the solos as well. I hope you get to play these tunes in a band. Practicing and Playing with others can be a life altering experience.

[@robertduvall7392]

Steely Dan - I saw their first concert ever at the Paramount in Seattle. We went to see James Gang, but it turns out Joe Walsh had left the band. The opening act was Steely Dan. We were blown away. I was with my band mates. You never disappoint Ayla.

[@livewire6925]

Outstanding! Your playing is full of confidence and flavor. You have obviously been playing well for a while. I have just become one of your biggest Fans. I have not been getting notifacations for some reason. I'm going to spend some time catching up. Thank you Ayla. You made my day.

[@donszabo7558]

Very nicely done! A favorite band of mine.

[@cixsting5115]

Wow!! She is no joke I love it!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@andychapman3100]

Agree; fantastic band and choice of tracks - oh my - just brilliantly executed!

[@tunabomber111]

Hello Ayla you are a great inspiration to me and thousands of people thank you for showing how amazing and fun playing a guitar is

[@hoojamaflicks]

excellent playing well done. great to hear your generation appreciating the quality and complexity of steely Dan. sometimes I fear that that intricacy of musicianship is getting lost and not handed down anymore, so it's great to see this.

[@jingles373]

You are amazing! Thank you for posting.

[@jeffbriggs4268]

Awesome Ayla! That sounds soooo good.

[@lescruise]

HI ! Les from the NorthWest. Enjoyed hearing you play some Steely Dan - hope to hear you do more of it. Josie, Aja, etc. And maybe some David Gilmore... You're a catchy performer ! Bless you. 🤣

[@johnlevison9552]

Sounds really great Ayla,you are amazing!

[@joachimpeiper8076]

I am always excited to watch your videos. Keep it up

[@petermars10]

[@chicohnoods5422]

Awesome as always, Keep on rocking and stay safe Ayla!!

[@mikewritz]

Wow great job, I wish I could give this 2 likes. Steely Dan is just in a league of their own plain and simple. Musically so amazing and lyrically I’m still finding new meaning to lyrics/ songs all these years later. I don’t mess with anybody that doesn’t get down to the Dan, life’s too short...

[@snicker576]

Maaannn, so good! Dying to hear her play the "Bad Sneakers" solo

[@jeffreyholmes7216]

That is fantastic! All I can say is wow!

[@tps607]

Simply fantastic...Ayla, you rock

[@johndial3934]

Ayla is one the best young guitarist I have ever had the pleasure to listen to. Keep it up

[@kyzor-sosay6087]

Fantastic playing,and one of the greatest bands in existence.

[@SlimSh8E]

[@PaulRusso64]

*Amazing* guitar playing and studio work! You've got it!

[@erineziolopes2421]

beautiful ayla, you play the guitar very well, say hello here to Brazil, thanks

[@adamkraemer9193]

It's funny; I'm a musician (keyboard) and I'm not even a particularly big fan of Steely Dan (too many jazz chords!), but this was so much fun to watch. I'm blown away by the musicianship.

[@anthonybernard3689]

Kid Charlemagne has some of the best guitar solos ever!

[@didierfavre]

It has !

[@Hydrophish]

Yup, all Larry Carlton if memory serves.

[@Archer335]

Hydrophish, Yes, it was Larry Carlton. Nobody beat Larry C. at his game.

[@mudhens4ever]

Dang me, you played that well!!

[@MarcoAntonio-ee7oj]

Steely Dan é uma das minha bandas favoritas. Ficou sensacional!

[@kaitlynnsinclair8494]

AYLA..THIS WAS THE FASTEST I EVER CLICKED ON A NOTIFICATION!!!

Good going Ayla! That sounds so good, I really love how you feel the music. I feel it too... Peace & Love

[@CB_ChaosLove]

[@AlonzoWhite]

Simply Beautiful! Keep it up!

[@owieczkanapolu7327]

OK, from a fan that never comments (almost) but you're playing my innermost music. I won't compete for the points as I know all of The Dan's music, wouldn't be fair. Nice job. Walter (and Larry C.) would be proud!

[@younggod2319]

I had a basil, ricotta and tomato sandwich for breakfast. I put vinegar and oil on it. I made my own coffee to go with it. Love my new bean grinder, it makes the whole kitchen smell like coffee!

[@gordonbgraham]

As always...awesome!

[@anthonyl2048]

You are an incredibly talented musician. Keep it up!

[@jumpfortyfour9965]
