Navigating The Guitar Fretboard For Beginners

[@MusoraOfficial]

We hope you enjoy this lesson and that it helps you understand the guitar fretboard a little more! 🙂

[@jmgonzalez3677]

Hii hope you could teach us also on how to break the pentatonic scale sounds and definition of the time signatures. Thank you!

[@kentuckywindage222]

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!

love it...very helpful as im a 62 year old beginner

[@robbaldwin2402]

I'll be honest, you lost me at the intervals. Learning what the little dots are on the fretboard? Super fun! I can do that no problem. I'm basically a pro at finding dots. Learning about the notes and how they move up the fretboard? Ok, not bad, just take it slow so I can find them. Hop-skipping into intervals and talking about changing chords between keys? Sounded like this to me: "Ok, guys, so this is called a spoon, and with the spoon you can stir the flour and eggs we learned about earlier. Now, if you know how to stir the eggs, you'll find it easy to transmogrify the nebular catechism by flambéing the encroaching onomatopoeia. Awesome! You're a pro."

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.

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.

[@rontagoe8085]

You are a great teacher.

[@anthonyv8190]

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!

[@michaelbroseumiong2433]

Tq so much you make me under stand better the shapes and scales

[@scottenglert4083]

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 !

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

[@Beerbatter1962]

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.

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.

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.

[@MusoraOfficial]

SO 👏 TRUE 👏

[@maannsu]

When you mean learn , do you mean memorizing them?? Or is there something else to it?

[@TimlegoStudios]

what root notes_??😭😭

[@sploomfussy]

​@@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.
