-Black Magic Woman- Guitar Cover By Ayla

Thanks for watching my video! My name's Ayla Tesler-Mabe, and I'm a 15 year old guitarist from Canada. Here’s my interpretation of Santana’s Black Magic Woman (originally written by the fantastic Peter Green). All filming, editing, recording and playing by me, but of course, all rights go to the original artists. Though I certainly won’t stop making covers because they’re a lot of fun to do, I’m shifting my focus more to writing original material instead, and will hopefully have something to share with you all soon. I love Santana!!

I tell you that you are on a page to give you dislikes "KingdomLikes", that's why you have so many, you're great!

[@AylaGuitar]

Agustin Melgh Thank you! After looking into it a bit, it turns out that someone paid over $100 to purchase fake dislikes for this video. Crazy!

[@gabrielvictorrusso5931]

Yeah... I have been calling Carlos Santana since he did that... even heros feel intimidation now and then

[@johnanderson9494]

please play a gig with Sina

[@jamesgault7383]

That's insane and sick and sad, why on earth? You rock, Ayla, you are sublime. You have the touch and feel and timing. Keep on keepin' on!

[@likeanuuk6612]

im broke af and some people have 100 bucks to waste on disliking a video....the world we live in

[@thomashepner5137]

It does my heart good to see that the younger generations are loving this music. Well done Ayla.

[@rebeccaspiteri7605]

I so hope it starts to come back, I fluctuate between classic and modern, but I constantly go back because my soul is hungry to feel the music! I get a feeling as our younger generations grow older we will also grow keen for soul food music instead of ego food music 😅

[@stevezoldowski1447]

Told You All . AYLA is the Bomb ! M m ? She's a Brain Burner , Ouch ! Love Music

[@eduardiv.9429]

With all my heart I wish you success in your music and creativity.

[@jacksp1787]

I heard/saw Ssntana and many bands and groups in the 60s, 70s and 80s. This young lady would fit right in: she's got that vibe. Wow!

[@edyak6280]

Thank you Ms. Tesler-Mabe. You have shown that the guitar is not just an instrument of music, but a window into the soul of the player. Your soul and talent are laid bare for all to see here and both are beautifully poetic.

[@bugnutsrunnels]

I know people appreciate the beauty and elegance we witness on her videos, but I hope people realize just how amazingly difficult and precise Ayla’s talent really is. She is taking the artistry of extremely great guitar players and creating her own masterpiece, literally with her eyes closed.

[@lifetraveler2447]

[@rob5763]

I"m 73 years old. I started playing when I was younger than her and I still can"t play like that. Great cover of a great song.

[@Roscoeverdin5469]

Please, Please....never delete this. Just listening to the guitar does my soul wonders. Thank you for this!

[@leongalaor1842]

Now , this is what you call FEELIN’ ! The difference from other performances you can hear that she re-creates the phrases so she get the sense Nail it ! Love it!

[@doughartsel803]

I’ve listened to this dozens of times. What a talent!!

[@rdsmith6675]

You are GIFTED with a talent I know 40 year old guitarist's wish they had! Keep posting!

[@devilsoffspring5519]

If he's 40 years old, I'm sure he knows that this girl practices a heck of a lot, and that musical skill isn't a "gift" of any sort.

[@Rarebirdeffects]

Welp…. I’m a 40 year old man (how did that happen?) and I’ve been playing since I was 15, and she’s better then me haha

[@jfson4321]

I've been playing, practicing... feversly working the guitar for the same duration. Since I was 15 and now I'm 70 and can say this lady is fortunate to harvest her untapped potential so soon. Please keep the improv music flowing jewels.

[@observinghumanity3034]

The difference between a great player and a good one is feeling. I could tell before you even started you knew where to go to get in the zone. This is what playing another artists piece should sound like. Not a note for note technical repetition, but an emotional emulation of the piece. You are wonderful and not just a guitar player but an artist!

[@jamiewalker9258]

Arthur Vickery lop

[@MrBradymoss]

Well put, I agree.

[@opal177]

Nothing to add

[@albertomartinez2479]

Yes. She conveyed emotional content of the piece with Soul.A very difficult feat achieved by a gifted few, A very pleasant listen.

[@ilsingh9904]

I've played the guitar since I was barely able to hold one. You really screwed that one up. Way too much interpretation... You either copy Santana directly, or you come up with your own. No mix and match. On a scale of 2 to 10, I give you a 0. Next time...record it, play it back, and critique yourself...don't wait for idiots like me to point out. If you're good, you can do this.

[@ABC-yt1nq]

I've been a fan and have watched Ayla develop for the past 4 years.Such an incredible talent, and it's so great so see someone find their passion at such a young age. Amazing.

[@TonyFreeman-LocoTonyF]

That Always, the smile at the end that says "That was fun!" always gets me! 😄

[@joeincogno265]

So many young guitarist here on YT and most of them are very technical and precise. What all of them are missing is the FEELING that makes one a GREAT guitarist. You, Ayla are on your way to being one of the great guitarists. I feel you in your playing. Great job!

[@guitarplayerz4893]

I just watched this. Really good cover of the Peter Green song, Ayla. Sadly we lost him recently, but his music lives on. I saw him once, in concert. John Mayall's Bluesbreakers opened up for him. He did Black Magic Woman too!!! Didn't do Green Manalishi though, which he also wrote - and Judas Priest covered.

[@ZafarSami65]

You play with feeling. It is good to see you improvising and feeling the music.

[@duendetusabes6104]

Zafar Sami old jazz guy: if you wanna play you gotta feel those bendz

[@scottdimatteo7561]

Simply amazing.I have played for 40 year's.And girl you got it .God has given you a ton of talent.Best wishes

great song from peter green great performance big liiiike

[@dennisjump8655]

Where are the dislikes coming from ? This girl smokes this ! Women guitarists are ruling now. Love your feel on this because this is a very melodic solo and you nail it.

[@wheeliebigadventures1201]

Not just the technicality, but the tone, feel and that vibrato. Fantastic. Loved every minute of it

[@georgegleek]

Excellent techniques, nice trills and fills, lots of feeling and aggressive attack. Superb.

[@garykoehler2177]

You got it L'il Sister. From a diehard 77 year old Santana lover.

[@barricadeish]

The amount of soul she puts in her playing is beautifully shown in her sound.❤❤❤❤❤

[@ronmay5589]

Best version of that song I've ever heard. Bar none. Incredible tone too.

[@mrguitar2106]

I started playing guitar, when i was 12. Santana was one of my first guitar-heroes too. At the age of 16 i later played in a blues-band where the other guys were 10 Years older than me. We played some other Santana-Stuff (Europa, Samba Pa Ti) and the crowd loved it. Keep on playing and practicing. You are on the right way and got much talent......

[@DroolingGargoyle]

Your Ma & Pa must be proper folks. Your off to a great start. Keep up your grades as well. Your love will become your vocation... Captivating x

[@joleneloveland2942]

[@sugerace1]

That was so much fun to hear you do a fav from my younger years..now 70 and still go for new fresh new fans of the great Santana classic...I will be hoping you keep wowing us Ayla. Thanks

[@elwahou]

Phenomenal job! I'm looking forward to hearing some of your original works. Keep it up!

[@Nalanworb]

And a gorgeous smile to end it with. You are amazing Ayla.

[@pappav77]

Putting your touch on Santana is not an easy thing to do. Bravissima!!! With your skilz, you should have millions of subs 🤘🏼

[@williammichaels4019]

Miss "Ayla" WOW!!!!! You are definitley way out there in that "GUITAR UNIVERSE"!!! (the ZONE)... I sure hope that Mr. Carlos Santana has either seen your "SUPER COOL VIDEO" or will see it in the very near future!!! I was (17) when I purchased the (45 rpm) recording of "BLACK MAGIC WOMAN".....I will be (70) in Dec. which kinda lets you know how long I have been a "SANTANA" fan.....I think when Santana's drummer "MICHAEL SHRIEVE" did audition for "CARLOS" when he was (16)... the possibilities are endless for you!!! I usually do not hit the "SUBSCRIBE" button, however the "VIBES" are definitely out there tonight & they are coming from "LIONEL" "KATY" "LUKE" & "BILLY-LEE"!!! Sooo, with that "Miss Ayla" GOD-BLESS YOU!!! & the best of LUCK to you!!! Dear-Lady! you are one fantastic "FEMALE-ROCKER"!!!!!

[@ozzyd9001]

hell your good i can listen to you play for hours for an old 55 year old rocker thats saying something and ive seen some of the biggest bands in my time and still do. and you stand up there as one of the greatest guitarists already well done

Amazing dynamics and feel. That vibrato is insane!! And the tone, oh man❤️ Quite simply one of the best covers of this song I've seen, and I've seen many. Carlos would be proud! Matching his feel is where many covers fall short, and you've nailed it!

Very, very, nice, Ayla! That was most enjoyable. It was also an excellent example of how to work a Gibson thinline electric, between sustain & nuanced dynamics. Plus, your finger strength is so evident with your control of note bends and vibrato. So fine!

I was pretty confident in my guitar ability before I watched this, but now I'm not so sure. Awesome cover!!!! You kicked ass!

THAT'S PRETTY GOOD GIRL, YOU CONTINUE YOUR PASSION. I've seen CARLOS in CONCERT TWICE. Once in Asheville, NC and at the Charlotte Coliseum where he was the opening band for ERIC CLAPTON. HE CAME BACK ON AND JAMMED WITH ERIC PLAYING "LAYLA". IT WAS GREAT SEEING 2 OF THE BEST GUITARIST PLAYING TOGETHER ON STAGE.😉😃😄😁😎

[@noahtenshen]

Impressed would be an understatement--and at 15!!! I didn't have a lick of soul at 15 when I was playing. I barely have that much now at 72. And attention to detail! Masterful. I think Carlos loves you too. 6 years later, I guess I have to see what you've been up to now. I hope you stay well and keep playing!

Followed with the left hand forcefully.with a full heart.Blue,Rock,Jazz and country. She is very clear in the phrase dynamic sound, great, commendable praise buy (From Thailand. Mr.Sawai)
